"I wonder why Lady Alice graces us with her presence. Is there sothing you need?"
Lin Mo sat on a wooden chair, holding a cup of fragrant tea. He took a gentle sip, then put the cup down.
"Lin Mo, let's get straight to the point. I won't beat around the bush; there's a benefit I want to offer you." Alice stated directly.
Hearing her words, Lin Mo's lips curled into a slight smile, and he said, "I have no dealings or grudges with the Wolf Clan. Lady Alice says she wants to offer a benefit, which I find a bit hard to believe."
"Believe it or not, since you don't trust us, there's no need for us to cooperate." Kedun of the Werewolves clenched his fists and snorted coldly.
"Kedun, today is about the negotiations between Mr. Lin and . Keep your mouth shut." Alice turned her head and gave Kedun a fierce glare. Kedun imdiately closed his mouth, though his face still showed so discontent. After all, they had traveled a long way to personally seek cooperation with Lin Mo, and his attitude was not what they expected, which was hard for the inherently unruly Kedun to
accept.
"It seems Lady Alice has genuine sincerity. Tell , what's this about?" Lin Mo asked seriously.
In fact, a month ago, Alice had led her people to explore the remnants left by the Wolf God's inheritance. It contained the mory of the first-generation Wolf God. Although they hadn't entered the Ice Hall within the relic, Alice was certain treasures were hidden inside. The only flaw was the powerful array surrounding the Ice Hall, preventing them from entering. Forcing entry was impossible as the power of that array was unlike anything they had ever encountered. Breaking through was out of the question
.
After much deliberation, Alice decided to seek cooperation with Lin Mo.
"Our Wolf Clan has a tradition dating back thousands of years. In ancient tis, the first-generation Wolf God left behind so inheritance. Now, our clan wishes to retrieve the treasures from that inheritance." Alice explained slowly.
"The inheritance left by the first-generation Wolf God?"
Lin Mo slightly squinted his eyes and gently tapped the wooden table with his forefinger, "Then why co to for cooperation? Aren't you afraid I'd seize your Wolf Clan's inheritance?"
"That depends on whether you have the strength for that." Kedun clenched his fists and said fiercely.
"As long as Mr. Lin is willing to cooperate with us, I promise to share so treasures with you. As for trying to seize them, that would depend on your ability." Alice, undeterred, lifted her head, her cold eyes looking straight at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo replied, "I'm curious why you want to work with . It seems Lady Alice and I have no particular ties."
"To be frank, our Wolf Clan's inheritance is protected by an Eastern Array. We have no way to get in, so we're hoping Mr. Lin could help us break the array." Alice's eyes were clear and unwavering.
Lin Mo furrowed his sword-like brows, seeing no sign of falsehood in Alice's eyes. However, why would the Wolf Clan inheritance have an Eastern Array?
"I don't have absolute confidence in breaking the array you're talking about. However, I accept your offer; I also want to see what the Wolf Clan inheritance entails."
Lin Mo nodded in agreent.
"In that case, we'll await Mr. Lin at the Siberian Ice Field in three days." Alice stood up, placed her right hand on her left shoulder, bent slightly, and then left the main hall of the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall with Kedun.
After they left, Lin Mo remained seated, sipping his tea.
"Young master, why would they seek your cooperation? Could there be a conspiracy?" Yingzi stood still beside Lin Mo, her eyebrows knitted with concern.
"There shouldn't be any conspiracy, just cooperation." Lin Mo replied calmly. Now he, Alice, and Kedun were about to join the Mystic Realm Sect, and everyone would soon be disciples of the sect. Moreover, since the Supre Elder of Mystic Realm Sect was on Yu Lan Star, any internal conflict was unlikely to occur, and if it did, it would surely draw
the attention of Mystic Realm Sect.
Furthermore, Lin Mo understood why Alice approached him instead of Lord Tao, Chen Yan, and others. To break the Eastern Array, people like Lord Tao and Chen Yan, who were from traditional Eastern cultivation sects, would be the logical candidates.
However, Lord Tao was backed by the Six Paths Sacred Sect, with unfathomable personal strength, while Chen Yan had the Fire Sect, a Supre Force. If they were to venture together to the Wolf Clan's inheritance site, the Wolf Clan might end up with nothing.
The best choice was himself, as his strength could rank in the top three in the Golden Secret Realm Trial. This was true strength, and his backing of the Nine Continents Secret Realm and the Four Great Martial Arts Schools couldn't yet compete with Supre Forces, making him a safer choice for the Wolf Clan.
"Since I've agreed with Alice, I'll check it out in three days. anwhile, why don't you co with for so fun back ho? Xia ngdie was asking when you'd be free to go shopping with her last ti we were ho." Lin Mo smiled at Yingzi.
"Sure!"
Yingzi replied cheerfully. Over the next three days, Lin Mo stayed at the villa, accompanying Xia ngdie and his parents. During this ti, Sima Zining also took a day to visit but soon returned to the Martial Alliance, which was at a crucial developnt stage with many matters
needing attention.
"Mom, you're looking younger by the day."
Lin Mo sat with his mother, father, Xia ngdie, and Yingzi on stone benches in the villa garden, smiling as he spoke.
"You cheeky boy, learning to tease your mom now." Yang Chuxue laughed with a radiant smile.
Indeed, after consuming the Eternal Fruit and Soul Condensing Pill, Yang Chuxue appeared increasingly youthful, looking as if she was only in her early thirties, with remarkable changes in her skin and appearance, making her and Xia ngdie look like sisters.
"Xiao Mo speaks the truth, Mom. You do look much younger." Xia ngdie said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to the Eternal Fruit that Xiao Mo gave us. I've been feeling revitalized lately, almost like being young again, and my cultivation progress is swift too." Lin Guang remarked with emotion.
The Lin Family was originally a small, secluded family, but with Lin Mo's ergence, they beca the leading family in Lan Country, and they all beca cultivators.
"Dad, stay in Yu Lan Star and cultivate well. Once I've made a na for myself outside, I'll co and bring you all to see the world." Lin Mo said with determination.
"Alright, just take care of your own affairs. As for your mother and the family, I've got it covered. I'm not so old that I can't handle things." Lin Guang replied.
Three days passed pleasantly in the company of family. On the third morning, Lin Mo left the villa and swiftly flew westward, as he had promised Alice to et at the 'Snow City' in the Siberian Ice Field in three days.
