Morning Star

Chapter 177: Praising Someone High and Then Throwing Them to the Ground

I opened my mouth to say something, but before I could say anything, I heard a voice that sounded both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Hey, isn't this my third brother and my little sister? I didn't expect to meet them here." Mo Mingjie came over with an ambiguous smile. Behind him followed Mo Yun.

When he came in front of the two of them and saw the blood on the corner of Mo Xinglan's mouth, he looked at him with shock and worry: "Hey, Third Brother, what happened to you? How did you get hurt? Is it serious?"

Having said that, a smile could not be hidden in his eyes from time to time.

Of course he would not worry about Mo Xinglan. He hoped that Mo Xinglan would be injured, the more serious the better, and even better would be death.

And everyone present naturally knew what kind of person he was.

Mo Yun behind him was stunned when he saw the blood at the corner of Mo Xinglan's mouth, and then his eyes flashed with worry.

She had heard that he was injured before. She had been looking for an opportunity to see if he was really injured and whether he was seriously injured. Unexpectedly, she saw him vomiting blood, so he must have been seriously injured.

Then he looked at Chujiu who was supporting Mo Xinglan, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes imperceptibly.

But Mo Xinglan pretended not to hear anything. He stood still and stared at Chujiu closely: "What did you want to say just now?"

He just saw her open her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Mo Mingjie.

Mo Mingjie looked very unhappy when he was ignored, but Mo Yun's expression became even colder when he looked at Chujiu.

Chujiu noticed that Mo Yun looked at her unfriendlyly. But the next moment, her face was pulled back by a pair of cold hands, and she was forced to look at the boy in front of her.

"What were you going to say?" he said again.

His cold hand suddenly touched her face and she shivered unconsciously. She frowned and wanted to ask him if he was cold, but seeing his face, it seemed that he would keep asking as long as she didn't answer that question, so she could only sigh and said, "I said, I won't leave."

"Really?" He looked expectantly.

But her eyes flashed as she opened his hands, clasped them together and quickly replied, "Really."

After saying that, as if she was afraid that he would ask something else, she quickly said, "Why are your hands so cold?"

"I..." He was stunned for a moment and avoided her gaze.

What he wanted to say was interrupted by Mo Mingjie, who suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Third brother, I at least care about you, and this is your attitude?"

Mo Xinglan ignored his words and glanced at Mo Yun coldly. He saw the look Mo Yun gave Chujiu just now.

Then he looked at Mo Mingjie and sneered, pulled one hand out of Chujiu's hands, raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb.

He lowered his eyes to look at the blood on his fingertips, then looked at Mo Mingjie and asked instead of answering, "Brother, are you here to release river lanterns?"

Mo Mingjie's eyes dodged for a moment, and he snorted disdainfully, "They are just some unrealistic things, how could I possibly release river lanterns?"

Chujiu found it very funny looking at his pretentious and guilty look.

Mo Xinglan smiled as if he saw through everything and said, "I think so. After all, how could someone as dedicated to cultivation as my second brother waste his time on such trivial matters?"

Chujiu silently gave Mo Xinglan a thumbs up. This person's ability to lie with open eyes is extraordinary. He is a man who can talk.

As she sighed, she accidentally glanced at the blood on his neck, and then she realized that he only wiped the blood on his chin, but not on his neck, which caused the incoherence. She, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, didn't like it, so she raised her sleeve to wipe the blood on his neck without saying a word.

Mo Xinglan suddenly felt an itch on his neck, and after a pause he lowered his eyes to look. Seeing her serious expression, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly but did not stop her.

To outsiders, the current scene between the two of them seemed so ambiguous and their time was peaceful.

Except for the two people next to him, of course.

The coldness in Mo Yun's eyes could no longer be hidden, and Mo Mingjie didn't even bother to hide it.

Thinking about how Mo Yun kept his distance from him when they were releasing the river lanterns just now, and now seeing the two of them being so harmonious, he was filled with jealousy. He said sarcastically, "Huh, I was wondering why Third Brother didn't come to greet my second brother after he came to Piaomiao Domain. It turns out that his heart is no longer in my Mo Family."

Mo Xinglan glanced at him, with a hint of sarcasm on his face. Instead of answering him, he lowered his eyes and looked at Chujiu.

Chujiu was so focused on wiping the blood off Mo Xinglan's neck that he had no idea what Mo Mingjie said.

Seeing that he was ignored again, Mo Mingjie no longer cared about his image. His eyes were full of jealousy and disdain. He snorted coldly, "It is immoral. Mo Xinglan, it's fine if you embarrass yourself, but you actually want to embarrass my Mo family."

Chujiu, who had finally wiped the blood off Mo Xinglan's neck, smiled with satisfaction, but after hearing Mo Mingjie's words, he turned to look at Mo Mingjie with a puzzled look on his face.

What did he mean by that? Why did he suddenly curse? Did she just miss something?

In the confusion of Chujiu, Mo Xinglan finally looked at Mo Mingjie. He was not angry at what Mo Mingjie said, but rather a little amused: "Disgraced the Mo family? I heard that my second brother and Sima Lang, the fourth son of the Sima family, had a fight over some trivial matter a few days ago, and he lost in the end. Is this true?"

Let’s see who brought shame to the Mohist school.

The scandal was brought up again, and Mo Mingjie could no longer control his facial expression, his anger was evident in his words. He got angry when he thought of the dispute between him and Sima Lang a few days ago. The most hateful thing was that this matter was still making a lot of noise.

Mo Xinglan would never give him a chance to catch his breath, and added indifferently: "I remember that Sima Lang's cultivation had just entered the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm, but my second brother had already reached the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm. How could he lose?"

He smiled and said, "Could it be that Second Brother's strength has declined?"

Of course he knew the reason why Mo Mingjie couldn't beat Sima Lang.

Although Sima Lang was a dandy disciple, he cultivated himself through hard work. Sima Lang's middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm was truly middle stage. But Mo Mingjie's middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm was mostly forced up by the elixir made from the blood that Mo Hengsong took from him.

Just think about it and you will know which one is stronger, the one who reaches the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm by relying on elixirs or the one who reaches the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm by practicing hard.

After hearing this, Chujiu covered his lips and tried to hold back a smile, his eyebrows and eyes curved. Just now, the evil-hearted evildoer said that Mo Mingjie was determined to practice, but now he has exposed Mo Mingjie's true colors. It turns out that he has that trick waiting for him.

It seems like he is capable of praising someone highly and then throwing him to the ground.

"Humph, I was just giving in to him." Mo Mingjie made up an excuse.

Chujiu couldn't bear to watch it any longer. She and Chu Furong were there and witnessed it with their own eyes. How could he give in to Sima Lang? He had clearly tried his best.

Chujiu and Mo Xinglan explained this matter in detail, so Mo Xinglan naturally knew about it, and even if she didn't explain it in such detail, he could guess it.

So he said with a half-smile: "But I heard that you tried your best but still couldn't beat him? It seems that you were beaten badly."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and looked at Chujiu.
