Chapter 37: Extinction
Translator: Sparrow Translations
"Luo An's Mo Clan's gone...They're all dead..." Mo Xiangtong said with a face covered in tears.
She did not continue to speak and continued to cry.
"The incident has already passed. You can take your time and talk." Mo Wuji pulled Mo
Xiangtong up and sat her on a chair. The Luo An which Mo Xiangtong mentioned was the
capital of the Northern Qin Prefecture. As the prefectural royal family, the Mo Clan stayed in
Luo An.
Mo Wuji would not dare inquire about the Mo Clan in front of others, but he naturally did not
have such concerns with Mo Xiangtong.
Mo Xiangtong continued to sob, but she endured her grief as she said, " Four years ago, the Mo
Clan was dragged into the assassination of the Northern Qin Prefecture Lord..."
"Wait… isn't the Mo Clan from the Northern Qin Royal Family? Why would it be involved in the
assassination of the Northern Qin Prefecture Lord?" Mo Wuji interrupted Mo Xiangtong and
asked puzzledly.
Mo Xiangtong shook her head, "Four years ago, our Mo Clan was no longer the Northern Qin
Royal Family.The Ju Clan is now the new Northern Qin Royal Family. After the previous
prefecture lord disappeared, Ju Xufeng took over as the new lord under the instigations of the
Cheng Yu State Lord. However, during his rounds, he was assassinated by a member of the Mo
Clan. The Mo assassin was killed on the spot and nine generations of the Mo Clan were ordered
to be executed..."
Mo Wuji's face turned gloomy. A Mo Clan member assassinated the acting Prefecture Lord? Isn't
this excuse too ridiculous? What a sinister plot, even nine generations were to be killed, this was
a bit too much.
"How did you escape? When they found you, why didn't they kill you?" Mo Wuji looked at Mo
Xiangtong in doubt.
Mo Xiangtong said in an aggrieved tone, "That year when the old prefecture lord disappeared,
your parents departed for Rao Zhou to inherit the throne. But there was never news from them,
and all the Mo Clan members we dispatched to Rao Zhou also disappeared."
Hearing this, Mo Wuji finally understood why no one from the Mo Clan came to Rao Zhou. From
the looks of it, they were all assassinated the moment they left Luo An. A Mo Clan member who
left for Rao Zhou was a dead Mo Clan member. During that time, Ju Xufeng had taken over as
the prefecture lord and the Ju Clan finally had the power to deal with the Mo Clan.
"Because of the increasing number of disappearances, the Mo patriarch ordered every Mo Clan
member to stay in Luo An. Four years ago, I was just 15 years old. I was really pampered so I
decided to take the risk and leave Luo An to see the world. On the second day I left, the Mo Clan
got involved in the assassination and all nine generations were exterminated. When I heard the
news, I did not dare return to Luo An, so I decided to go to Rao Zhou to find your father..."
Mo Xiangtong seemed to recall her painful and helpless days, "To survive I did many things: I
stole, I begged, I even ate weeds and leaves..."
Mo Wuji suddenly felt a tinge of regret. He should have offered help to the little girl who tried to
steal from him. Who knows whether she might have been another survivor from the Mo Clan.
"I lived like that for over two years until a kind family took me in as their little miss's
maidservant. But it all ended three months ago. The family might have offended someone they
should not have, and those people suddenly came and killed all the way to our doorsteps. The
whole family was killed and only the little miss and I survived. They spared us to earn a bit of
extra cash; the little miss and I were sold to a brothel.
This obese salesman was a partner of that brothel. He really knows how to do business. He said
that with the opening of the Spring Immortal's Gate, many rich and esteemed people would
Mo Wuji politely cupped his fists, "I'm here to look for my little miss. You can't possibly not
allow me from meeting my little miss, right?"
The doorman hesitated. What Mo Wuji said made sense; as a house attendant, shouldn't he be
allowed to report to his little miss?
When he was about to respond, Mo Wuji stuffed a gold coin into his hands, "Brother, please
make an exception. I'm not staying for long, I won't be making things difficult for you."
The doorman was already prepared to let Mo Wuji in. Seeing Mo Wuji take out the gold coin, he
no longer hesitated and said, "Just go in. Remember to come out soon."
Mo Wuji thanked him unceasingly. Just when he was about to enter the inn, he seemed to recall
something, and whispered in the doorman's ears, "Brother, I heard that the Xuan Liang
Prefecture Prince just bought a stunning female slave?"
The doorman laughed and gave Mo Wuji a knowing look, and whispered, "Brother, we're really
the same kind of people. That female slave is really not bad. She had a beautiful goose egg face.
And her big chest! Oh... I wonder what will holding them feel like..."
The doorman slipped into his perverted fantasies.
"I wonder where does that fellow stay. His neighbours are sure to complain about the loud
noise, " Mo Wuji spoke in the same obscene tone as the doorman.
The doorman laughed, "You don't have to worry about that. That little prince stays in room
number 17. Right next to it is a big patio."
"What a lucky man. Well, I got to go report to my little miss," Mo Wuji said casually and hurried
into the inn.
