Volume 2 Dragon Bird Chapter 22: Soul Sword Controlling Technique
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly to Mo Yan, then stood up and prepared to walk out of the hall.
Neither of them noticed that the moment they stood up, Mrs. Mo, who was talking to Zang Xiaojian, inadvertently glanced at the two people who were about to leave, with a frown on her face.
The two quietly left the hall.
"Master Mo, is there something important?" Lu Qingshan was indeed a little curious as to why Mo Yan called him out alone.
"It's not a big deal, but it's very important to me." Mo Yan stared at Lu Qingshan's eyes and asked, "You also saw my mother, what do you think of her personality?"
Lu Qingshan thought about it and commented objectively: "She looks like a little girl, but there's nothing wrong with that."
"That's right," Mo Yan nodded in agreement after sensing the sincerity in Lu Qingshan's eyes, and began to explain, "According to what we know at the Dragon Slayer Sword, the Jiaolong Demon King is planning to transform into a dragon recently. Once the Jiaolong Demon King successfully transforms and becomes a swimming dragon, the millions of humans on our Sea God Islands will really have no chance of turning over and will be shrouded in its shadow. Although it is extremely difficult for a Jiao to transform into a dragon, and the chance of failure is also very high. But we dare not gamble, so we must get rid of the Jiaolong Demon King before he transforms into a dragon. The day of the attack that has been prepared for many years is just around the corner and cannot be delayed. This is why we have been patient for so long, but suddenly started to attack the Sea God Sect."
“However,” Mo Yan looked a little embarrassed and said hesitantly, “Although this attack has been planned for many years, the Jiaolong Monster King is a fourth-grade monster after all. We are not very sure. We can only try our best.”
"If we win, it will be great to give humanity a clear day, but if we lose, we will be doomed. I can ignore life and death, but if we fail, when the Jiaolong Clan settles accounts with us, the people who wield the Dragon Sword, I'm afraid my mother..."
Lu Qingshan vaguely understood Mo Yan's thoughts, "You mean..."
Mo Yan nodded and said with some emotion: "Although my mother is not young, in my eyes, she is no different from a little girl, with a naive personality. I can't believe that my mother, with such a personality, could come to Jiaolong Island alone with me 20 years ago and raise me up."
"Maybe this is what it means to be a mother." Lu Qingshan continued.
Mo Yan said angrily, "But later, when I was older, when I asked about my father, my mother always hesitated and was vague. She couldn't give an accurate answer. Sometimes she said my father died of old age, and sometimes she said my father was missing... In fact, I have always suspected that she was deceived by some bad man with a slick tongue..."
Faced with Mo Yan, who, contrary to his usual behavior, started nagging and complaining non-stop when talking about his mother, Lu Qingshan felt that compared to the previous Mo Yan who was very careful and flawless, this Mo Yan was much more approachable.
After talking for a long time, Mo Yan suddenly realized that he had gone off topic, and hurriedly said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I went off topic. Anyway, the current situation is that I have not told my mother about the Dragon Slaying Sword, and my mother has nothing to do with the Dragon Slaying Sword. In this way, even if the matter is exposed in the end, my mother should not be implicated. But you also know that as a son, I always worry more and want to consider things more thoroughly. My mother's personality is such that she will suffer if I am gone. If that happens, I will not be able to take care of her personally. If I don't find someone I trust to help take care of her, how can I feel at ease? But this person is hard to find..."
"My mother is quite wealthy," Mo Yan said shyly, "In the world of cultivation, profit is paramount. Others will inevitably be tempted by money, and I don't trust them. I can trust the people of the Dragon Slaying Sword, but given their status, no matter how well they handle the whole process, there will inevitably be traces left. I'm afraid that it will backfire and implicate my mother. So I was troubled for a long time until I met you and fellow Daoist Zang."
"You've only had contact with us twice, and you trust us so much?" Lu Qingshan smiled.
Mo Yan didn't take Lu Qingshan's ridicule seriously, and spoke his mind very sincerely, "When we first met, I gave you a huge amount of spirit stones and asked you to help me buy the Cold Spirit Fire. You also kept your promise and brought me the Cold Spirit Fire, which shows that you, Lu Qingshan, are not a person who forgets righteousness when you see profit, and this has established a certain foundation of trust in my heart. When we met the second time, you saw the problem with the Cold Spirit Fire, but you didn't intend to hide it, but were ready to tell it truthfully. I can also feel a little bit of your nobleness. Afterwards, you and fellow Daoist Zang took the initiative to help us kill a Golden Core cultivator of the Sea God Sect when you lured and killed the four Golden Core cultivators of the Sea God Sect. This also shows that your position is unlikely to be on the side of the Sea God Sect, which makes me less worried."
"The most important thing is..." Mo Yan said solemnly: "Based on the methods of the two of you, it is obvious that you are both rare genius cultivators, born in famous families. Such people are more upright than ordinary cultivators."
"So, I beg you, Brother Lu, if we fail to slay the dragon, please take my mother away from Jiaolong Island, this place of trouble ."
After stating what he wanted, Mo Yan took out a jade slip from his storage ring and handed it to Lu Qingshan.
"What is this?" Lu Qingshan asked as he took the jade slip.
“Since I’ve entrusted you with such an important task, I naturally need to give Master Lu a certain amount of compensation. I don’t think Master Lu will necessarily look down upon ordinary spirit stones and magical instruments, but just now, I saw you and Zang Xiaojian fighting, and I found that you are both sword cultivators, so I think you should be somewhat interested in this thing.” Mo Yan explained.
"If it really comes to the situation I expected, I will have to trouble Master Lu to take good care of my mother. This jade slip will be your reward. Even if our Dragon Slaying Sword is lucky enough to kill the evil dragon, this jade slip will belong to Master Lu. Just consider it as a gift from me to my friend."
"Take a look at the contents and tell me your decision." Mo Yan pursed his lips.
Seeing Mo Yan's confident look, Lu Qingshan curiously probed his consciousness into the jade slip:
