Chapter 766 What were your intentions in taking half of the embers?
"Junior sister, why is junior brother collecting so many Dao flames?"
Chen Mo frowned slightly, his hands behind his back with an indifferent expression. Among the seated crowd, he stood out like a conspicuous bag, aloof from the world.
However, everyone seemed to be blind and ignored Chen Mo.
Only after hearing his voice did she turn her head to look, cursed her bad luck, and quickly looked away, continuing to ignore Chen Mo.
Even Qian Shengxin's father, a ninth-level Dao alchemist, ignored Chen Mo.
In their minds, Chen Mo was like a mad dog, biting anyone he could get his hands on.
Why does Senior Brother Chen ask that?
Bai Zhilan's eyes flickered, and instead of answering, she asked a question, reaching out her jade-like hand to grab the sealed light sphere.
Prying into other people's secrets is a big no-no.
"and many more!"
With so many different kinds of flames, Chen Mo also wanted a share.
He was the first to grab the sealed orb, intending to take away the powerful flame.
They are both disciples of the Star Saintess, and his cultivation is higher than Gu Qing's, so there's no reason why Gu Qing should monopolize all the benefits.
However, how could Bai Zhilan let him have his way? Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, she directly used her supernatural powers to capture the ball of light.
She said unhappily, "Senior brother, why are you so eager to snatch these strange flames? Do you think you're destined to have them too?"
Seeing that the duck that was about to be eaten had flown away, Chen Mo's face turned ugly, and he looked at her incredulously, as if he couldn't believe that Bai Zhilan would actually mock him.
What does "junior sister" mean?
"The strange fire was collected by the cult, so why can't I take it?"
Chen Mo's eyes showed disappointment, and his tone was questioning, as if he were looking at a scumbag woman.
Everyone was speechless for a while.
Why should you get a treasure belonging to the religion for free?
Fortunately, they had already witnessed Chen Mo's shameless face, so they were not surprised.
Bai Zhilan remained speechless for a while before coldly saying, "Senior brother, do you perhaps think the entire Divine Sect belongs to you, and you can take it as you please?"
"Uh~"
Chen Mo froze, speechless, a look of embarrassment and annoyance flashing across his face.
He naturally knew that any treasures of the cult had to be exchanged for points and contribution points, and high-level treasures required merit points or barter.
but……
Why can Gu Qing take the treasures of the Divine Cult for free, but he can't?
Chen Mo grew increasingly furious: "These strange flames were collected by my junior brother using his authority within the Divine Sect. As fellow disciples of our master, it's not unreasonable for me to want half of them, is it?"
He still didn't want to give up the strange fire.
He could do without a God Emperor-level flame, but he had to take half of the flames at the Saint level or above.
Moreover, he needed to figure out what Gu Qing wanted so many strange fires for.
Is it to be used to smelt strange fire, or to refine magical artifacts?
In either case, this is an astonishing secret technique; if he could obtain it, his strength would definitely advance even further.
"Shameless!"
"Senior Brother Gu is a disciple personally taught by our master. Do you think you can compare to Senior Brother Gu?"
"Besides, it was Senior Brother Gu who reclaimed Wanhuo Daozhou, and it was also Senior Brother Gu who had the fire seeds collected. What does it have to do with you?"
Bai Zhilan coldly rebuked.
Looking at Chen Mo, she was filled with disappointment.
At that moment, Chen Mo's image of "staying true to himself" in her heart collapsed.
Perhaps she really misjudged Chen Mo.
What nonsense about encountering a great opportunity! If it's not yours, you won't even glance at it.
He only encountered a spark and his shameless nature was exposed. If he encountered a more precious treasure, would Chen Mo not be tempted?
Bai Zhilan couldn't help but recall her past with Chen Mo. Chen Mo had indeed been tempted by the treasure and had tried to snatch it.
However, before making a move to steal, Chen Mo would always say some sanctimonious words.
Bai Zhilan, unaffected by the protagonist's halo, possesses a clear and insightful mind.
Looking at Chen Mo again, she seemed exactly like the hypocritical courtesan Gu Qing described.
"What do you mean, junior sister?"
"You look down on me too?"
Faced with Bai Zhilan's blatant mockery, Chen Mo felt utterly humiliated. His fists clenched involuntarily, and a self-deprecating bitter smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
He suddenly felt that Bai Zhilan had changed, and she seemed like a complete stranger to him.
If it were the old Bai Zhilan, she would definitely believe him unconditionally and stand on his side.
The little monkey nestled in Qi Ruilin's arms suddenly poked its fluffy head out, its eyes filled with confusion, and asked sincerely, "What are you talking about, brother?"
"Pretty sister is clearly asking you, can you compare to Senior Brother Gu? By the way, what do you mean by 'compare'? And who is Senior Brother Gu?"
"And also, is brother trying to steal Senior Brother Gu's flame?"
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone was initially very serious, but Chen Mo's shamelessness left them speechless.
Gu Qing killed Xing Yan and his power overwhelmed Wan Huo Dao Zhou.
In other words, the fire seeds that Gu Qing seized after reclaiming Wanhuo Daozhou belonged to Gu Qing as his personal treasures and were therefore legal and compliant.
What does this have to do with Chen Mo?
Chen Mo demanded half of it, threatening to bring out the Star Mother if they refused.
Does Chen Mo actually know how many nominal disciples the Holy Mother of Stars has?
Even if it were to be divided, Chen Mo wouldn't be entitled to half.
Chen Mo's eating manners were truly appalling.
However, due to Chen Mo's cultivation level, they dared not refute him at all.
But seeing the little monkey's sincere question, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Bai Zhilan chuckled, but quickly realized that this was impolite and covered her red lips with her hand.
"you……"
Chen Mo's face flushed instantly, burning with anger, and he stared coldly at the little monkey.
"My child is a disciple of the sect leader, don't do anything reckless."
Qi Ruilin's expression changed, and she quickly covered the little monkey in her arms, using telepathy to scold it for being talkative.
"cough!"
Bai Zhilan coughed lightly, a smile playing on her lips, and asked calmly, "Qi Tian is right. Is Senior Brother Chen planning to steal Senior Brother Gu's flame?"
Since Chen Mo likes to have his cake and eat it too, then she'll tear off Chen Mo's hypocritical mask.
"..."
Chen Mo's expression changed rapidly, and he was inwardly furious.
I feel things shouldn't be this way.
These people should keep mocking him, not trying to reason with him.
"Senior Brother Chen, is this question difficult to answer?" Bai Zhilan had no intention of letting Chen Mo, who was pretending to be dead, off the hook, determined to get to the bottom of it.
"call!"
Chen Mo let out a long breath and said with a wry smile, "Junior sister has misunderstood me. I have my own principles. No matter how precious the treasure is, I will never snatch it if it is not mine."
"So, do you still want half of it?"
"..."
"No, now that I know the fire seed is my junior brother's private treasure, I naturally won't take it for free."
"So you still think your junior sister is mocking you?"
"..."
"I misspoke just now. I didn't know the truth of the matter, which is why I had such thoughts."
"Oh!"
Bai Zhilan gave a nonchalant "oh," and looking at Chen Mo's slightly distorted face, she suddenly remembered Gu Qing's words, "full of benevolence and morality."
So she continued, "Junior sister is very curious, even though the fire seed belongs to Master, what is your mindset, Junior brother, that you want to share it in half?"
"You should know that Master has countless disciples who are registered under his name."
"Besides, putting aside the nominal disciples, Master's personal disciples are all here. No matter how you divide them, it's not like Senior Brother Chen should get half of them, is it?"
