"How so?"
Seeing Mo Buwen’s tone and posture, Lu Chen naturally speculated. Could it be that Mo Buwen did not trust his own two brothers?
"Brother Lu, what we can now confirm is that Xu Qianqian will also participate in the selection, and as you can imagine, she will certainly take up a spot! With one less spot available, there will be even more people vying for it!"
Lu Chen nodded slightly to signal Mo Buwen to continue speaking.
"There are four of us traveling together. If we are all selected or none of us is selected, that would still be acceptable. What I fear is..."
Lu Chen imdiately understood his aning and said, "You fear that among us, so will be selected and so will not?"
"Brother Lu is perceptive," praised Mo Buwen, and then said, "After all, Mo Dawu and Wu Er are real brothers, and I am just their cousin, so..."
Lu Chen caught on and said, "You want to ally with first? If only two out of four are chosen, you want to compete with for that spot?"
Mo Buwen rejoiced and said, "Exactly!"
Lu Chen smiled but did not imdiately agree because he himself had no chance to join the Heavenly Pill Pavilion.
Moreover, these people harbored ill intentions. Had they not hidden their murderous intent, Lu Chen would have killed all three of them that very night.
"Brother Mo, sotis, what the Immortal Sects say is quite right—they emphasize a thing called ’fated opportunity’!"
However, Mo Buwen said, "Brother Lu, though one’s cultivating immortality for a mont, I have my naive views!"
Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
"Cultivating immortality, it’s more like competing for immortality! Look, even these cultivation spots are to be fought over. Once inside the Immortal Sect, won’t we have to compete for cultivation resources? And if there’s a chance to enter a secret realm, we will have to fight for it! We compete with heaven, earth, and people!"
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes; he found himself underestimating Wen Buhui a bit.
But this wasn’t entirely his fault. After all, he himself was already at the Foundation Establishnt Stage, how could he care about a Martial Artist in the Visceral Refinent Realm?
However, these words were enough to show that if Mo Buwen truly embarked on the Immortal Path, he would likely not be content with being a nial worker for the Heavenly dicine Sect!
Nevertheless, Lu Chen’s current goal was just to see if there was a chance to find Xu Qianqian and extract information about Qin Yaotiao from her!
So far it was known that Qin Yaotiao was in the imperial city, but as vast as the imperial city was, where could she be?
Lu Chen thought for a mont and then said, "What if Xu Qianqian... doesn’t go?"
"Xu Qianqian not going? Impossible," Mo Buwen shook his head repeatedly and said, "She had already been chosen by the Hehuan Sect, and being suddenly rejected, a normal person would definitely not accept it! Especially such a prideful woman, she would certainly not accept such a fall from grace! And the information we have gathered confirms this, she will definitely choose the Heavenly Pill Pavilion!"
It must be said, what Mo Buwen said at this mont also matched Lu Chen’s own speculation about Xu Qianqian.
But he knew even better that his own appearance would certainly draw out Xu Qianqian!
Much as nine out of ten, she was implicated because of Chen Gaoshang’s death, and she would naturally hate him to the bone!
Therefore, as long as he let out a bit of news, Xu Qianqian would surely investigate!
Even at the Heavenly Pill Pavilion’s selection that was to begin at noon, with such urgent timing, Xu Qianqian would be too rushed to make arrangents and thus would be prone to mistakes.
That would be his opportunity!
But how could he lure Xu Qianqian out?
The imperial city was certainly not an option, being too close to those at the Core Formation Stage.
They had to leave the city.
Once out of the city, then Xu Qianqian would be at his rcy!
Lu Chen might not be able to deal with those at the Core Formation Stage, but for Xu Qianqian, a re Qi Refinent Realm cultivator, she was not even worth his attention!
At this ti, Mo Dawu and Wu Er, the two brothers, returned. Seeing the silence between the two, they found nothing strange and took their seats at the empty spots.
Following them, several servers also brought good wine and dishes with obliging grace to the table.
Once the servers left, closing the door behind them, Mo Dawu and Mo Erwu poured wine for themselves and Lu Chen.
"Brother Buwen, this might be our last drink!"
Mo Dawu said with a smile.
Mo Erwu looked reproachful and said, "Big brother, what are you saying! You should say, this is our last drink in the secular world."
"Yes, yes, yes," Mo Dawu chuckled, "I’m a simple man, not used to speaking carefully, I misspoke, I’ll punish myself with a bowl first!"
He filled his bowl in front of him to the brim, then tilted his head back and drained it in one gulp.
After that, Mo Erwu filled his own empty bowl, and the two brothers lifted their bowls towards Mo Buwen and Lu Chen for a toast.
"Brother Buwen, Brother Lu, in a little more than an hour, we will be participating in the selection. Once we enter the Immortal Sect, we need to focus on cultivating and won’t have much chance to drink! Let’s drink this one together! Wishing us a splendid journey on the Immortal Path!"
Mo Buwen felt sothing was off but still raised his bowl, touched it with theirs, and drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Chen internally sneered.
These two...
Had they actually poisoned the wine?
Alas, the wine of re mortals could not harm him at all!
He would watch and see what act they would put on!
Who knows, it might even bring a twist to his own affairs!
