1538 Chapter 1538:Apprenticeship
That night, an invitation personally written by Prime Emperor Mo Xiao was sent to all the powerhouses in District 39.
On the invitation, there were only a few lines of words: “The Fox Clan’s Mo Xiao pays his respects to Prime Emperor Divine Miracle as his mentor at eight o’clock tomorrow. Neighbors, please take the time to attend.”
The few words on the invitation showed Mo Xiao’s resolute personality.
The experts who had received the invitation didn’t care about Mo Xiao’s arrogant actions. They were more concerned about Mo Xiao becoming Prime Emperor Divine Miracle’s disciple. These two people were both Prime Emperor-level experts. Although Prime Emperor Divine Miracle was an old monster, Mo Xiao’s cultivation level wasn’t necessarily weaker than Prime Emperor Divine Miracle’s.
Why did Mo Xiao acknowledge Prime Emperor Divine Miracle as his mentor?
The two of them getting married was more believable than Mo Xiao acknowledging Prime Emperor Divine Miracle as his mentor.
However, the invitation had already been sent to them. No matter what, they couldn’t embarrass Mo Xiao and they had to give Prime Emperor Divine Miracle face. Therefore, early the next morning, all the experts who had received the invitation came to the Mo family’s residence with gifts.
“My parents were the ones who gave birth to me, and Prime Emperor Divine Miracle was my mentor. I was abandoned by my father when I was born and I wandered around an alternate world ever since I was young. I never felt any affection from elders until I met my mentor in the Divination Continent’s Ascension Town and was lucky enough to receive his teachings.”
Upon hearing Mo Xiao’s words, the bystanders realized that Mo Xiao and Prime Emperor Divine Miracle had been interacting since hundreds of years ago.
As Song Ji looked at the young man kneeling in front of him, the world’s evaluation of Mo Xiao flashed across his mind—
Born a black fox, it wandered in another world and was reborn. When it returned, it killed its father and crowned itself king.
Song Ji gradually understood why Mo Xiao couldn’t forget about his teachings back then. It was because no elder in this world had truly loved and protected him. The short period of care he gave Mo Xiao back then was enough for Mo Xiao to remember forever.
What a good child.
Mo Xiao knelt in front of Song Ji and looked up at Song Ji, who was sitting on the armchair, as he said, “Mentor, you always said that your teachings back then were just a casual act that’s not worth mentioning. But to me, it was the kindness that the Great World gave me. You planted a seed called kindness and benevolence in my heart.”
“Therefore, I want to obtain your recognition and become your true disciple.” Under the witness of these experts, Mo Xiao, who wore a formal suit, kowtowed to Prime Emperor Divine Miracle nine times.
Then, Mo Xiao took the wine from the butler and handed it to Mo Xiao. “Mentor, please drink the apprenticeship tea.”
Song Ji pursed his lips and shook his head with a smile. Then, he reached out to take the cup of tea and took a sip.
Only then did he realize that Mo Xiao had prepared peach-flavored fruit wine for him. Clearly, Mo Xiao could tell that Song Ji liked sweet food, especially things that tasted like peaches, so he had specifically prepared this fruit wine.
After drinking the fruit wine, Song Ji officially became Mo Xiao’s mentor. According to the rules, he had to give Mo Xiao a unique gift to show their deep relationship.
After thinking about it, Song Ji decided to give Mo Xiao a gift that he thought was the most suitable. It was a red headband made of silk and with the word “Ji” embroidered on it.
Song Ji handed that thing to Mo Xiao and said, “This is a Level 7 Spirit Gathering Tool that can be used as a headband. I see that your hair is disheveled everyday, so it’s better to tie it up. This headband can help you gather spiritual energy and cultivate at all times. It’s quite convenient.”
Mo Xiao was speechless.
Mo Xiao blushed, but he still took the strand with both hands and tied his long hair with a headband. The headband was slightly long and fell to both ends of his shoulders. Mo Xiao noticed that there was the word “Ji” embroidered with a blue line on the left side of the headband and the word “Bing” embroidered with a blue line on the right.
This thing didn’t look like a Spirit Gathering Tool at all. Instead, it looked like…
A love token.
However, there were too many bystanders now, so Mo Xiao could only suppress his doubts. After personally sending his neighbors away, he closed the door and returned to the courtyard. After he stood in front of Song Ji again, he took off the headband on his head and asked Song Ji curiously, “Mentor, someone gave this to you, right?”
Song Ji raised his eyebrows in surprise. “How did you know? Could it be that you had already foreseen its past just now?”
Song Ji thought to himself, “The black brat’s clairvoyant skills seems to have improved a lot.”
Mo Xiao hurriedly explained, “That’s not the reason. It’s just that this thing looks very much like a love token, so I’m thinking that this thing might be a token of love given to you by a woman who loves you. Of course, it might also be… a confession token.”
Upon hearing this, Song Ji was stunned.
“Huh?” Song Ji lowered his eyes and stared at the headband in Mo Xiao’s hand as he asked Mo Xiao, “What do you mean?”
“Mentor, look.” Mo Xiao explained patiently, “According to what I know, in ancient times, hair was a very important thing on a person’s body. Only the closest person could touch each other’s hair. A red headband has a universal meaning for both men and women, and this headband has your name and the word ‘Bing’ on it. I guess that the name of the senior who gave you the headband must have the word ‘Bing’. Not only did she give you a headband, but she also embroidered your names on it. If this isn’t a confession token, what can it be?”
Upon hearing this, the face of a beautiful woman suddenly appeared in Song Ji’s mind.
“This thing was given to me by a female cultivator who was good at refining artifacts more than two thousand years ago.” Song Ji thought about it carefully and could still remember the woman’s blushing face when she gave him this thing. However, back then, Song Ji thought that the other party couldn’t bear to give him a Grade 7 Spirit Tool for free, so she blushed in annoyance.
Upon hearing Mo Xiao’s words, Song Ji realized that the other party might have… liked him.
Song Ji, who had never been liked by a woman before, suddenly blushed. Then, he suddenly reached out and pulled the headband off Mo Xiao’s hand. After he hid it in his interspatial ring, he threw a random ring to Mo Xiao. “I gave you the wrong thing just now. This is for you.”
Mo Xiao was speechless.
“Thank you, Mentor. I like this ring very much.” After Mo Xiao put on the ring, he carefully thought about the names of the female refiners in the super world. There seemed to be only one female high-level refiner with the word ‘Bing’ in her name and was more than two thousand years old—
Prime Emperor Yin Bing of the Cang Lang Continent.
Two thousand years ago, Prime Emperor Yin Bing was probably only a Supreme Master. She had only successfully broken through to the Prime Master Realm three hundred years ago.
Prime Emperor Yin Bing was the most powerful weapon refinement master on the Cang Lang Continent and was from the same sect as Master Duan Fen of the Duan family. So, the woman who gave his mentor his headband was Prime Emperor Yin Bing?
