They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent - They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent chapter 55

Arriving at Baidi City, it’s already considered the center of the Middle Realm.

Lin Mo could clearly feel that this place was more developed than Yunxi City, which is closer to the Lower Realm.

Here, it’s practically a domain of cultivators; ordinary people are almost nowhere to be seen.

Sword flying is not allowed in Baidi City, so Lin Mo had to enter on foot.

The city guards of Baidi City are adept at sizing people up. They treat a group of Qi Refining Stage cultivators who want to enter the city with a dismissive attitude—demanding money, checking their stature, and carelessly waving them through.

But seeing Lin Mo’s attire, demeanor, and extraordinary looks, and knowing he arrived on a flying sword,

They immediately changed their attitude, approaching with a beaming smile and respectfully said, “Esteemed cultivator, please present your identity.”

This time, Lin Mo showed his Lin family credentials and smoothly entered Baidi City.

The auction was to be held tomorrow, and with nothing else to do, Lin Mo arrived at an inn.

The inn’s attendant was also a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, with exceptionally good judgment.

He led Lin Mo to a private room on the second floor.

“Young master, what would you like to eat?”

Lin Mo briefly glanced at the menu; all the dishes were made from spiritual beast meat and plants, priced in spirit stones.

“Serve your signature dishes, and bring a pot of the finest spiritual tea.”

Money wasn’t an issue for him now; Lin Mo didn’t mind spending it on himself.

Just this meal alone would cost hundreds of spirit stones.

Considering that an outer disciple of Qingzhu Peak only receives four spirit stones as a monthly stipend,

One can imagine how exquisite Lin Mo’s meal was.

Of course, as usual, he would tip the attendant a few extra spirit stones.

It was his habit when traveling.

Money makes the world go round; don’t underestimate the power of a generous tip.

In this world full of cultivators, being an attendant here means having keen eyesight and insight.

Not only could they gather useful information, but sometimes they might even help one avoid unnecessary dangers and troubles.

Receiving the tip, the attendant naturally served Lin Mo with great enthusiasm and diligence.

In no time at all, the dishes were served.

Just as Lin Mo picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, a familiar and annoying voice reached his ears.

“Look, isn’t that the senior brother?” Ye Kai pointed to Lin Mo sitting in the private room on the second floor.

Yuehua and Shen Ke’er also noticed him at that moment.

Lin Mo had a bit of a headache; these few were like clingy plasters.

Yuehua led Shen Ke’er and Ye Kai slowly up to the second floor, naturally sitting down beside him.

The Lin family was just near Baidi City in Tianxing City; it wasn’t strange to encounter Lin Mo here.

He briefly explained his intentions to his disciple.

Lin Mo was speechless inside, realizing he would have to continue to stay with these few during tomorrow’s auction.

After all, they would see each other often, so Lin Mo gestured for the waiter to prepare a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks.

“Brother Lin, the food is really good when you’re out and about!” Ye Kai exclaimed, looking at the exquisite dishes on the table.

“Yeah, I just found out that without having to share my own things, I can live such a comfortable life,” Lin Mo said with a smile.

Shen Ke’er and Yuehua’s faces changed simultaneously.

It was then that the voices of the diners discussing around them could be heard.

“Have you heard? Miss Jiang of the Jiang family, Jiang Yanran, broke through to the Golden Core stage two years ago, and recently she was taken in by the master of the Hanbing Palace.”

“Really?”

“Absolutely. Not only is Jiang Yanran beautiful, but she also has the talent of a heavenly spiritual root. So young and already successful in forming her core, and with a seventh-grade core at that, she is truly a favored daughter of heaven. Now that she has entered under the Hanbing Palace master, the Jiang family has the backing of a first-grade immortal sect.”

“That’s amazing. I wonder what kind of man would be worthy of her.”

“Ah, don’t you know? Jiang Yanran is betrothed, apparently to a young master of the Lin family in Tianxing City.”

“That young master, whose talent seems to be only a dual spiritual root.”

“Damn, that Lin family’s son is really lucky, to have such a good fate, to marry such an outstanding wife.”

The diners’ words were full of envy and jealousy.

Shen Ke’er also felt a pang of sorrow in her heart; why couldn’t her background and talent be like Jiang Yanran’s…

But Ye Kai, like the diners, sighed, “Everyone has their own fate. Such a talented and beautiful woman marrying an unknown cultivator is indeed a bit of a pity. That young master of the Lin family is really lucky.”

At this moment, Master Yuehua laughed, “Mo’er also succeeded in forming his core at twenty-five without too much compromise to Miss Jiang of the Jiang family.”

Ye Kai and Shen Ke’er took a deep breath.

They could hear the implication in those words, couldn’t they?

Shen Ke’er’s eyes widened like copper bells: “Master, are you saying Brother Lin is Jiang Yanran’s fiancé?”

Master Yuehua looked puzzled: “Ke’er, don’t you even understand your own brother Mo’s situation?”

At those words, Shen Ke’er bowed her head in shame.

What did she understand?

From childhood, she had only enjoyed the kindness of her senior brother, never taking the initiative to understand Lin Mo’s background.

Thinking of the other four peak beauties of Qingling Sect starting to cling to her senior brother.

And with such a fiancée for her senior brother, her heart was inexplicably irritated…

Ye Kai’s gaze darkened,

Again, it was Lin Mo.

Why should such a proud daughter of heaven also be his fiancée?

Why is his fate so enviable?

Ye Kai felt an itch of hatred in his heart, wishing he could carve Lin Mo into a thousand pieces.

‘Do you really despise this man?’

Suddenly, a voice entered his heart, audible only to him.

He looked at the ring on his right index finger and communicated through his thoughts: “Senior, you’ve seen through me.”

‘Don’t call me senior, just call me Wanwan.’

‘Don’t worry, you’ve saved my life, helping you out is no problem.’

‘I’ll be residing in your ring for a while, lending a hand is certainly doable.’

‘For instance, repairing your talents…’

Upon hearing this, Ye Kai was overjoyed, expressing his gratitude repeatedly: “Thank you, senior…”

‘I’ve said it, call me Wanwan!’ The girl in the ring pouted.

Ye Kai was no fool; he could sense the girl’s interest in him.

He quickly corrected himself: “Thank you, Wanwan!”

From noble mtl dot nete

This girl in the ring was the red-dressed maiden he had encountered under the tree.

He was lucky; she seemed to regard him as her savior [at least that’s what he thought].

After a brief exchange, Ye Kai also learned that although this woman was a demon cultivator, her status in the demon realm was not low.

Fortune comes in cycles, and Ye Kai’s chance to turn his fate around had returned.

Lin Mo was sipping tea leisurely when he sensed a deep hostility and couldn’t help but glance at Ye Kai.

This guy’s animosity towards him was indeed strong!

He owed him nothing, and the original host had been quite kind to him.

Lin Mo couldn’t figure it out and decided not to dwell on it.

The only thing he was uncertain about now was whether the original host’s future experiences involved True Master Yuehua actively wanting to harvest his golden core, or if Ye Kai was behind some trickery.

At least now that he had become Lin Mo, it was essential to clarify these causes and effects.

He was also curious to see, after taking the original host’s place and deliberately distancing himself from Yuehua and Shen Ke’er, whether this event would still occur?
