Chapter 649: Risky Conjecture
Qin Yi smiled slightly. Even if he knew him when he was young, at that time, he was just a cripple in a wheelchair. What help could he possibly offer?
Mo Wuji's smile was somewhat bitter: "When I was young and weak within the Mo Family, the Second Uncle's family never trusted me and always secretly sent people to monitor me. Even today, although I've secretly cultivated some of my own forces, it's absolutely impossible to overthrow the Second Uncle's lineage."
"They've been monitoring you secretly all along?" Qin Yi frowned slightly.
Mo Wuji said, "Brother Qin, don't worry. I know you're concerned they might follow me to Yinfeng City. They won't. I'm officially coming here to avenge Mo Buwen. Actually, I'm seeking Brother Qin's help."
"Since Mo Yi doesn't covet power, why not leave the Mo Family? You can choose the right time to avenge your parents. A gentleman's revenge can wait ten years. Mo Yi, you are calm and should wait for the right moment to come."
Mo Wuji smiled bitterly: "If it was only for avenging my parents, I could naturally wait, even for a lifetime. But I want to become the next Family Head of the Mo Family for other reasons."
"First, my father's dying wish was to be buried with my mother. But my father is buried in the Mo Family's ancestral tomb, and my mother cannot be buried in the Mo Family's cemetery. Only by becoming the Family Head can I make this happen."
"Second, there is always a rise and fall. The Mo Family is blindly arrogant and complacent. We're already on the downward slope without realizing it. I need to change the current structure of the Mo Family and rewrite the family rules, or else the decline of the Mo Family is only a matter of time."
Qin Yi nodded slightly. Mo Wuji sees further than most. These hidden families hold themselves in high regard, considering themselves rulers, but they don't consider themselves as part of Longxia. It's only a matter of time before they fall.
Back then, in the battle of Luoshen Mountain, these hidden families remained secluded, showing their extreme selfishness.
Qin Yi had long planned to eliminate all these hidden families.
If the hidden families are not eradicated, Longxia will not be at peace.
These families control extremely terrifying powers. If they cause upheaval, it would bring great chaos to Longxia.
Suddenly, Mo Wuji stood up and knelt on one knee in front of Qin Yi.
"Mo Yi, what are you doing?" Qin Yi was slightly surprised.
"Please, Brother Qin, help me. I have a feeling that if I don't save the Mo Family now, the Mo Family will surely be destroyed by Brother Qin in the future."
Qin Yi raised his sharp eyebrows: "Why do you say that, Mo Yi?"
"Because of Brother Qin's Peace Army. The hidden families are blindly arrogant and disregard the country, which brings chaos. Meanwhile, Brother Qin has grand aspirations. Just by looking at the name 'Peace Army', one can see that you won't tolerate the existence of hidden families."
Qin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly. Mo Wuji's far-reaching vision and keen mind surprised him.
Mo Wuji is indeed a talent.
"The hidden families have vast power. Even if I have such an intention, it would be difficult to shake them, wouldn't it?"
"Others can't, but Brother Qin absolutely can."
"Why?"
"As I said, Brother Qin has grand aspirations. From the name 'Peace Army', one can see your resolve. You have the support of the country behind you, and the four Guardian Gods support you. Once the Peace Army fully matures, the hidden families won't be your opponents."
Mo Wuji paused and continued: "Moreover, people only see the forces Brother Qin currently controls, but they overlook your personal potential. I've studied Brother Qin's achievements. You are always the ultimate winner. This is not something an ordinary person can accomplish."
Qin Yi squinted his eyes slightly: "I was just lucky."
"Any one of Brother Qin's achievements is beyond our reach. If it's a single victory, it can be attributed to luck. But to always end up as the last winner, luck cannot explain that."
Mo Wuji looked at Qin Yi, his eyes extremely sincere: "Brother Qin, I genuinely want to be friends with you. Actually, even if you don't help me, I won't be your enemy. With my background, to have survived in the Mo Family until now, I might not have other skills, but I do have some ability to discern people."
Qin Yi suddenly laughed heartily and said: "With you praising me like this, I'm starting to feel a bit proud. I didn't even know I was so outstanding. All that talk about destroying hidden families and stabilizing the world is just empty slogans. You really overestimate me."
"Mo Yi, you really overestimated me this time. I really don't have the grandeur you mention. I established the Peace Army just to live more peacefully. After all, I've offended too many people, and my family and I need protection, right?"
Mo Wuji was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Brother Qin, actually, I'm not that stupid."
"I know you're smart, at least the smartest and most resilient person I've ever met," Qin Yi said with a smile.
"But how could a smart person reveal their weaknesses in front of Brother Qin, even telling you secrets like my heart being on the right side? How could I speculate your thoughts? These are not things a smart person should do."
"If I guessed correctly, if Brother Qin agrees to help me, I can leave Yinfeng City alive. If he refuses, I'm afraid I will die in Yinfeng City."
Qin Yi's gaze imperceptibly contracted.
"Mo Yi, I'm not sure I understand what you're saying."
Mo Wuji sighed, "Brother Qin, you mentioned earlier that among the people you've met, I'm the smartest. Someone like me is highly likely to become Brother Qin's formidable adversary in the future. With your personality, why would you easily let me go? Killing dangers in their cradle is Brother Qin's style."
Qin Yi stared hard at Mo Wuji, his gaze gradually becoming sharp, his body emanating a terrifying killing intent, causing the air in the entire private room to instantly freeze.
But Mo Wuji also stared hard at Qin Yi, without the slightest aura.
"If Brother Qin wants to make a move, please feel free. I was merely speculating about Brother Qin's thoughts earlier, taking a risk. Brother Qin kills Nascent Soul Realm experts like slaughtering dogs. I admit I'm not a match for Brother Qin, so I won't resist."
"But considering our acquaintance over the past few days, Brother Qin, if you destroy the Mo Family in the future, please bury my parents together. My mother's grave is in Kangshan Cemetery, Baili City."
Qin Yi's eyes were sharp. Suddenly, he reached out towards Mo Wuji's neck.
Mo Wuji actually closed his eyes, genuinely offering no resistance.
Yet Qin Yi's hand brushed past his neck, landed on Mo Wuji's shoulder, then patted it, stood up, and smiled: "Wait for my news."
Having said that, he finished the wine in his cup and left with Liu Yiren.
"Young Master."
After Qin Yi and Liu Yiren left, Qin Ankang hurried in, seeing Mo Wuji kneeling on one knee on the ground, his face pale, his forehead beaded with sweat. He couldn't help but exclaim.
"Young Master, are you okay? What's wrong with you?"
Mo Wuji's lips slightly curled, then opened into a bright smile: "Ankang, I might have succeeded."
