100: Chapter 100 Did he have a child?

Sect Master Bai Ruotong felt a headache coming on and glared at him fiercely.

"I know."

Although she spoke words of compromise, her tone sounded as if she wanted to bite him.

"That's a good girl."

Mo Zixing smiled and reached out, wanting to rub her small head.

The Little Sect Master's body stiffened, then she suddenly slapped his hand away, her hair bristling as she shouted:

"Don't touch my head!"

On the favorability panel, that tiny bit of favorability ticked down once again.

"Fine, fine, fine."

Mo Zixing shook his head, looking at Sect Master Bai Ruotong's huffy expression, and said helplessly:

"To be honest, I was originally looking forward to the Sect Master being a gentle older sister."

"I didn't expect you to be a stubborn little girl."

Hearing this, Sect Master Bai Ruotong grew even angrier, clenching her small fist and swinging it at Mo Zixing:

"Who are you calling a little girl!"

Mo Zixing dodged her fist while saying to her:

"Whoever's getting worked up is the one; anyway, it's not me."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong wanted to strike again, but because her spiritual energy was rapidly depleting, her body swayed and she almost fell.

Mo Zixing took the opportunity to take her small hand, letting his spiritual energy flow into her body:

"Stop making a scene. If you keep this up, I really won't help you anymore."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong felt her physical strength slowly returning.

She bit her lip.

Ultimately, she gave up struggling and let him hold her hand.

Her small hand was soft and squishy, only occasionally pinching him secretly to vent her dissatisfaction.

Mo Zixing nodded in satisfaction.

The two walked out of the stone hall hand in hand.

They walked slowly along the forest path of the Mingyu Sect.

Mo Zixing glanced sideways at the Little Sect Master beside him.

She was furrowing her small brow, kicking small stones by the roadside with a look of displeasure.

Her overly large skirt hem swayed gently with her movements, causing her to trip over a stone from time to time, making her even more angry.

Mo Zixing found it amusing and couldn't help teasing:

"Do you think we look like a pair of siblings like this?"

"Like father and daughter."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong didn't even look up, snapping back irritably.

"What kind of talk is that?"

Mo Zixing's eyes widened:

"I'm very young, okay!"

"It's because I look small, alright?"

Sect Master Bai Ruotong rolled her eyes, stopped walking, and looked up at him:

"So why are we walking like this step by step?"

"You clearly know Movement Techniques. Wouldn't it be better to just fly wherever we're going?"

"No."

Mo Zixing shook his head, his tone still serious:

"You can feel it yourself, right? If you're not touching me, the spiritual energy in your body will rapidly dissipate."

"I can only keep holding your hand and walk slowly."

He paused and deliberately drawled:

"Could it be... that the Sect Master wants me to carry you and fly?"

Sect Master Bai Ruotong's cheeks flushed bright red as she suddenly flung his hand away:

"Who wants you to carry them!"

But just two seconds after letting go, her face turned pale, and she stumbled while clutching her chest.

The spiritual energy in her body indeed began to drain away rapidly.

Mo Zixing shook his head with a smile and reached out to hold her hand again:

"See, told you so."

"Stop acting up and just hold my hand obediently."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong gritted her teeth and recovered for a moment, finally ceasing her struggle, only glaring at him:

"Do you talk to other people like this too?"

"I don't."

Seeing her like this, the smile on Mo Zixing's lips deepened:

"It's just that the Sect Master is so cute right now, I can't help but want to tease you."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong's small mouth twitched for a while, wishing she could punch him in the face:

"I said I'm not a child, stop saying things like that!"

"Even if you don't want to hear it, bear with it. I enjoy saying it."

Mo Zixing arched an eyebrow, not indulging her at all.

The two continued walking for a while longer.

Mo Zixing suddenly remembered something and asked again:

"By the way, Sect Master Bai, how did you end up in this childlike state?"

"I don't know."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong shook her head, seemingly recalling an unpleasant memory:

"It might be one of the side effects of failing a major Realm Breakthrough."

"I heard from the Grand Elder that you were ambushed by an enemy during your Breakthrough, which led to the failure of refining the cold jade marrow and resulted in jadeification."

Mo Zixing continued.

"Then he got half of it wrong."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong snorted coldly:

"I chose to undergo jadeification voluntarily."

"At that time, I was already severely wounded. If I hadn't jadeified, I would have died on the spot. I could only rely on jadeification to lock my life force and Divine Soul within my body to survive first."

So that was it.

Mo Zixing nodded.

This made much more sense.

To be able to make such a decision at a moment between life and death.

From this perspective, she truly did resemble a Sect Master.

"By the way, who is the current Grand Elder of the Mingyu Sect?"

Sect Master Bai Ruotong asked suddenly.

"Great Elder Qin Cangyue."

Mo Zixing replied casually.

"No impression."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong frowned; clearly, Great Elder Qin Cangyue had been a nobody before her jadeification:

"Since I have awakened, I should naturally return to the position of Sect Master and take full control of the Sect."

"Are you sure?"

Mo Zixing looked at her with a half-smile:

"With your current tiny appearance, and a body that can't even walk without me?"

"When you can't even act independently, do you think those Elders in the Sect will listen to you?"

Sect Master Bai Ruotong was momentarily stumped, then she stubbornly said:

"Then I appoint you as my Personal Elder, specifically responsible for providing me with spiritual energy!"

"Personal Elder?"

Mo Zixing raised an eyebrow and said unceremoniously:

"Then how will the compensation be calculated? How many Spirit Stones per month? Are there shares of other Sect resources? Are there extra subsidies for missions?"

"You!"

Sect Master Bai Ruotong was rendered speechless by him:

"I am the Sect Master. You dare to negotiate terms with me?"

"Wrong. Right now, you are nothing."

Mo Zixing spread his hands:

"My personal time and space are very precious. If you don't provide enough value, why should I help you?"

While the two were bickering,

A figure appeared to be walking toward them from afar on the path ahead.

White hair like a waterfall, gentle features.

It was Liu Qingyan.

She had originally come to Qingsu Peak to find Mo Zixing, carrying some precious Medicinal Pills in her hand.

She hadn't expected to see him from a distance, holding a little girl's hand and walking over while talking and laughing.

Liu Qingyan's footsteps came to a halt.

The expression on her face froze instantly.

Who was this little girl?

She seemed never to have seen her in the Sect before.

Why was she walking with Mo Zixing?

The two were holding hands and playing around.

They looked very intimate.

She carefully examined the little girl's features, and the more she looked, the more alarmed she became.

Both had two eyes and one mouth.

Yet she actually looked seventy to eighty percent similar to Mo Zixing!

A terrifying thought exploded in her mind.

Could it be... that even before he joined the Sect, he already had a child?

Why had he never told her?

Liu Qingyan's face turned pale, and the bottle of Medicinal Pills in her hand almost fell to the ground.

She looked at the two talking and laughing not far away, the light in her eyes dimming bit by bit.
