140: There is no way my filial piety will go bad!
“Little junior brother, how about calling me senior sister?”
Mo Fan looked at his daughter with a blank expression, “Are you sure?”
Seeing Mo Fan’s expression, Mo Yingying immediately cowered and said awkwardly, “Just kidding…”
As for why she cowered?
Don’t ask. If you ask, it’s because she was too naughty and got beaten as a child!
“Dad, let’s go! I’ll take you to choose a cave abode!” Mo Yingying enthusiastically pulled Mo Fan towards the back mountain.
“Well, that—” Mo Fan hesitated.
“What’s wrong, Dad?” Mo Yingying asked, puzzled.
“You calling me Dad, if someone hears it, won’t it easily lead to misunderstandings?” Mo Fan said in a low voice.
“Misunderstand what? Aren’t you my Dad?” Mo Yingying frowned.
“What I mean is, we’re the same age, but you call me Dad. Won’t others find it strange?” Mo Fan said.
“You’re right.” Mo Yingying nodded. “Then I’ll only call you Dad in private from now on?”
“I think it’s necessary.” Mo Fan agreed.
After thinking seriously for a moment, Mo Yingying said, “Then what should I call you when someone else is around? Brother?”
Mo Fan’s face darkened, “Call me what brother? No manners.”
Mo Yingying rolled her eyes at him, pondered for a moment, and said, “How about I call you Old Mo?”
“Old Mo?” Mo Fan was stunned, then pondered for a moment and nodded, “Old Mo it is. It feels alright, not easy for people to overthink!”
“Okay, then I’ll call you Old Mo from now on. It’s happily decided!” Mo Yingying said with a happy face.
“Let’s go, let’s go, to choose a cave abode!”
...As a core disciple,
naturally, everyone has their own independent cave abode.
The cave abodes are fully equipped with spiritual springs, medicinal fields, and even have people specially delivering meals.
In addition, the formations within the cave abodes can also connect to the sect’s protective formation, making them quite safe.
One can use an abode left by a predecessor,
or open up a new one themselves.
Mo Fan, disliking trouble, chose a cave abode left by a predecessor.
This particular abode had been uninhabited for two hundred years.
Its previous owner had sacrificed himself in a mission against demonic beasts.
In fact, whether it was the three major academies or other martial arts universities, they were all the main force in resisting demonic beasts.
It’s only been relatively peaceful for the past one or two hundred years.
In the past, demonic beasts would attack the human defense line every few months.
Each time they attacked, a large number of martial artists would sacrifice themselves, and the true disciples of each peak were the leaders in resisting the demonic beasts...
“The environment is truly good—”
Looking at his cave abode, Mo Fan smiled with satisfaction.
This was a south-facing cave abode, adjacent to the outer sect, and looking out, one could even vaguely see Hidden Sword Peak.
The cave abode’s environment was excellent, spacious and bright, connected in front to a large medicinal field, and a crescent-shaped spiritual spring with amber-colored water.
The medicinal field was planted with many spiritual plants that had grown for hundreds of years, lush and green, emitting a faint fragrance.
It’s worth mentioning that whenever the sun sets,
Crimson Cloud Peak would be filled with red clouds, as if draped in a thin veil.
At this time, the spiritual plants in Mo Fan’s medicinal field would emit colorful light.
The amber-colored spiritual spring would reflect large swathes of mottled, flowing light, dreamlike and illusory, like a fairyland.
“Dad, this is your cave abode!” Mo Yingying finished organizing Mo Fan’s belongings and said happily.
“You worked hard. Here, have a glass of iced watermelon juice!” Mo Fan took a glass of iced watermelon juice from his system space and handed it to his daughter.
Mo Yingying: “!!!”
“Dad! Where did you get this watermelon juice?!”
“Made it myself!” Mo Fan said.
“No, what I mean is, you put it in your storage space, why is it still cold?!” Mo Yingying looked surprised.
Several hours had passed since the apprenticeship ceremony!
By now, even the coldest watermelon juice should no longer be cold!
Mo Fan rolled his eyes at her and said, “Don’t you know to put a refrigerator in the storage space?”
“But there’s no electricity in the storage space!” Mo Yingying looked at Mo Fan with a resentful expression.
“I put a generator in there, it runs on oil!” Mo Fan said.
“Dad, are you serious?” Mo Yingying was dumbfounded.
Who puts a generator in a storage space?!
If you put a generator and a refrigerator, there’d be no space for anything else!
“Alright, I’ll tell you the truth, my storage space is a bit special!” Mo Fan spread his hands.
“I knew it!” Mo Yingying’s eyes lit up. “My cave abode’s ice cellar has a lot of happy water, I want to transfer it to your storage space!”
“My storage device is out of space!” Mo Fan covered his forehead.
Who among proper people puts happy water in their storage device?
“Well, alright then—” Mo Yingying felt regretful.
It’s hot all year round in the Southern Region.
When out and about, being able to drink a bottle of iced happy water would be incredibly refreshing.
“Wait a moment!” Mo Fan suddenly said.
“Wait for what?” Mo Yingying asked, puzzled.
“Wait for me to study formations for a few days, and I’ll help you set up a small ice formation in your storage space!” Mo Fan said.
“Ah? Dad, are you serious?” Mo Yingying was a little bewildered.
“Of course!” Mo Fan nodded.
“But even Master can’t set up an ice formation in a storage space—” Mo Yingying was utterly astonished.
Storage spaces are all excavated from ruins, and no one has fully understood them to this day.
Randomly adding formations or anything else inside would only lead to one result: affecting the original mysterious spatial formation, causing it to instantly collapse.
“It’s fine, I have a way.” Mo Fan smiled mysteriously.
“Okay, I believe in Dad!” Mo Yingying smiled brightly.
If an ice formation could really be added to the storage space, then she would have iced cola to drink wherever she went!
After moving out the daily necessities from his system space and organizing them, Mo Fan stretched.
“Finally finished!”
“Come on, Dad, I’ll take you to meet the senior sisters!” Mo Yingying pulled Mo Fan and ran out.
Mo Fan didn’t refuse either.
After all, they would be living on the same peak in the future, so getting to know each other was good.
However, as soon as the two of them stepped out of the cave abode, they saw four graceful figures walking towards them.
Mo Yingying was stunned and said in surprise, “Senior sisters, why are you here?”
“We’re naturally here to visit our little junior brother—”
A tall, exceptionally beautiful woman in a white dress smiled gracefully.
The remaining three women also looked at Mo Fan and Mo Yingying with smiles.
“Old—uh, Old Mo, this is Second Senior Sister Tang Ling!” Mo Yingying said, looking at the woman in white.
“Hello, Second Senior Sister.” Mo Fan greeted her.
“This is First Senior Sister Ling Xue!” Mo Yingying looked at a woman with a delicate face and a slightly cold demeanor.
Next, Mo Yingying looked at a petite woman with a slightly baby-fat face and said, “This is Third Senior Sister Chen Sirou!”
“And this one! Fourth Senior Sister Wang Qian!” Finally, Mo Fan looked at a woman with an outstanding figure, possessing ‘human-killing weapons.’
Mo Fan focused and scanned the four senior sisters.
Overall, except for Third Senior Sister Chen Sirou, the other three senior sisters were all quite ‘fierce’!
Especially Fourth Senior Sister—
Simply terrifying!
Master Xu truly hadn’t lied!
In addition, the cultivation of the senior sisters were all at the Transcendent Realm.
Fourth Senior Sister Wang Qian was at Transcendent Fifth Stage.
Second Senior Sister Tang Ling and Third Senior Sister Chen Sirou were both at Transcendent Seventh Stage.
First Senior Sister Ling Xue, however, had reached the terrifying peak of Transcendent, just one step away from becoming a Heavenly Mandate Martial Artist!
Clearly, the disciples of each peak had high cultivation levels.
“Greetings, Senior Sisters!”
Mo Fan politely greeted them, and invited the senior sisters to eat spiritual fruits, taste pastries, drink iced beverages, and various specialty snacks.
“Junior Sister Yingying, Master said that you and little junior brother are from the same place. Did you know each other before?”
Second Senior Sister Tang Ling asked gossiping while eating a durian cheese tart.
“Yes, you are both so excellent and from the same place, you must have known each other since childhood, right? Could it be childhood sweethearts?”
Looking at the usually aloof First Senior Sister, who also possessed a gossipy nature, her large, round eyes remained fixed on Mo Fan and Mo Yingying.
“Well, you’re both surnamed Mo, you’re not siblings, are you?”
Fourth Senior Sister Wang Qian leaned back, her chest trembling slightly as she spoke.
Mo Fan: “???”
Senior Sister, just speak, why are you so nervous?
You’re almost making me dizzy!
Facing the questions, Mo Yingying looked at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan lightly coughed twice and said, “We’re not siblings, nor are we childhood sweethearts who knew each other since childhood.
“But we’re quite familiar. She’s always called me Old Mo.” Mo Fan explained.
Although Mo Yingying’s identity address was also in Jiang City, it was different from Mo Fan’s.
In reality, there were quite a few suspicious points about Mo Yingying’s identity.
But for a genius of this level, as long as it was confirmed that the other party had no connection with the Heavenly Demon Cult or the Demon God Cult, the Jade Void Academy wouldn’t care about other minor details.
Even on the current Blue Star, there were many unregistered individuals in some remote areas.
“So that’s how it is!” The senior sisters nodded.
“Jiang City is truly a place of outstanding people, producing two prodigies like you!” Tang Ling exclaimed.
“Right, right, right. I remember the former Southern Region Guardian was also from Jiang City. That was an existence who stood at the peak back then, said to be invincible below the strongest. Even our sect master would be beaten silly by him—” Wang Qian quickly said.
“Yes, General Sun was indeed a peerless hero, but unfortunately, that battle twenty years ago damaged his foundation. Otherwise, he might have already advanced to the strongest now!” Ling Xue sighed.
“Indeed, what a pity.” Mo Fan nodded, feeling regret for Granduncle Sun.
After a brief chat, eating and drinking their fill, and the senior sisters each presenting their gifts, the welcoming party concluded.
Saying goodbye to the senior sisters one by one, Mo Fan felt a little unaccustomed.
Yes, he was the only male on Crimson Cloud Peak!
He wondered if the senior sisters would lust after him!
Especially Master Xu—
She was quite renowned!
Thinking of this, Mo Fan shivered.
Boys, when out and about... must protect themselves well!
As if guessing what Mo Fan was thinking, Mo Yingying glared and said:
“Dad, you’re not allowed to think nonsense. None of them, including Master, are Mom. You must keep your distance!”
Mo Fan rolled his eyes at her and said, “What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person? Sorry, I don’t like people older than me. My filial piety will never change!”
“Hehe, that’s good!” Mo Yingying nodded in satisfaction.
Soon, she seemed to remember something and quickly reminded him:
“Oh right, Dad, quickly check the senior sisters’ gifts!”
“Mm.” Mo Fan nodded, quickly unwrapped the four beautifully packaged gift boxes, and saw the pink brocade pouches inside.
“These are… spirit stones?” Mo Fan was surprised.
Who directly gives spirit stones as gifts?
And all of them were spirit stones!
Soon, he understood and turned to look at his daughter.
“It seems Dad has already guessed!”
Mo Yingying smiled triumphantly and explained:
“They knew you and I had known each other for a long time.”
“So, as early as when you were organizing your cave abode, the senior sisters were already asking me about gifts.”
“I thought, Dad seems only interested in spirit stones, so I just told them to give spirit stones directly!”
Mo Fan: “…”
You’re really something!
Nice, well done!
Mo Fan happily put the spirit stones into his system space and cast an appraisal spell on them.
[Discovered Low-grade Spirit Stones * 400. Can be absorbed and converted into attribute points. Absorb now?]
There were a total of four hundred spirit stones here.
Adding the five hundred Master Xu gave him earlier, that made nine hundred.
“Not bad, my family fortune is gradually becoming substantial again.” Mo Fan nodded with satisfaction.
“As a return gift, should I set up an ice formation for all four senior sisters?”
“I think so!” Mo Yingying nodded vigorously.
“The senior sisters are all foodies too. If you can help them set up ice formations, they’ll definitely love it!”
“I can tell…” Mo Fan nodded.
From their eating habits just now, he could tell.
All four senior sisters, without exception, were foodies!
Just then, a gentle voice suddenly echoed in Mo Fan’s mind.
“Disciple, come to the main hall—”
The voice was from Master Xu Chaomu.
Mo Fan’s spirit was roused.
Were the arrangements for learning formations and domains settled?
