At this moment, Mo Lin completely understood Liu Feng’s feelings.
After all, he only had this one precious daughter. Seeing her in such pain, it was inevitable for him to be anxious.
"Who are these people?" Mo Lin asked Feng Mingyu beside him.
"These people are just scoundrels, idling around and relying on a few Ghost-Controlling Masters to do unspeakable deeds," Feng Mingyu snorted coldly.
For them to resort to something like kidnapping, they were certainly not good people.
"Kneel... kneel and beg me, and I’ll let your daughter go," Zhou Tian taunted.
"Alright, I’ll kneel for you right now."
Liu Feng couldn’t wait to kneel, driven by his love for his daughter.
At that moment, Mo Lin stopped Liu Feng and didn’t let him kneel.
It was obvious Zhou Tian was toying with Liu Feng.
Even if Liu Feng knelt, he wouldn’t release Liu Feng’s daughter.
He might even come up with something more outrageous.
Seeing Mo Lin jump in to meddle, Zhou Tian’s face was filled with displeasure.
"Kid, don’t meddle in other people’s business," Zhou Tian threatened Mo Lin.
"Kid, this has nothing to do with you. If you dare meddle again, I’ll cripple you," a burly man threatened Mo Lin.
The next moment, the burly man summoned his Contract Ghost.
It was a Danger Level Contract Ghost.
This man was a Level 2 Ghost-Controlling Master.
The man wanted to use the Danger Level Contract Ghost to scare Mo Lin away, but unfortunately, Mo Lin wasn’t fazed by it.
Mo Lin swung his long sword, directly slashing at the Contract Ghost.
The movement was very sharp, swinging the sword, then sheathing it...
Just those two actions.
The Contract Ghost behind the man split into two from the middle, then its body dissipated like smoke in the air.
The man realized his Contract Ghost had been slain.
"Ah... How could this be..."
This was a Danger Level Contract Ghost, and it was killed so easily...
The man found it a bit hard to accept for a moment.
Zhou Tian’s pupils suddenly shrank.
"Either release the child, or all of you die here today," Mo Lin said coldly.
There’s only one way to deal with these bad guys, and that’s to be even worse than them.
This was a principle Mo Lin learned in the Underworld earlier.
As Mo Lin’s words fell, the atmosphere gradually grew tense.
Zhou Tian grabbed the little girl’s neck, not daring to make any sudden moves.
No matter how quick his hands were, they couldn’t be faster than a ghost.
He himself was also a Level 2 Ghost-Controlling Master.
To be fair, even if he summoned his Contract Ghost, he wasn’t confident he could defeat Mo Lin.
"Scare me? I wasn’t raised on fear."
Emotionally, Zhou Tian quickly recovered from the shock.
Since he dared to stand here, he certainly had some trump card.
"Hong, I’m facing a bit of trouble here, need your help," Zhou Tian called towards a direction behind him.
A woman with a graceful appearance in a white cheongsam slowly walked out.
This woman was Zhou Tian’s trump card.
Zhou Tian had spent a very high price to invite Hong here.
Hong was a bona fide Level 4 Ghost-Controlling Master.
Her strength was among the top in Yun Chuan.
At the moment Feng Mingyu saw this woman, he immediately assumed a defensive stance.
Even Liu Feng’s expression turned grave.
Zhou Tian was full of pride.
As if with this woman’s help in front of him, he feared no one.
"This person is a Level 4 Ghost-Controlling Master. Who dares mess with me with her around?" Zhou Tian shouted at Mo Lin and the others.
At the moment this woman saw Mo Lin, she instinctively turned her face away, not wanting Mo Lin to recognize her.
Mo Lin was a bit surprised the moment he saw this woman.
"So, it’s you..." Mo Lin recognized the woman in front of him.
Isn’t this Hongyan Xun?
Half a month ago, when Mo Lin was selling Ghost Artifacts at the Four-sided Courtyard, this Hongyan Xun was his first customer.
Hongyan Xun didn’t speak, as she was now Zhou Tian’s hired hand.
If she recognized Mo Lin now, what would it mean?
Should she fight with Mo Lin, or not?
If she didn’t fight, she wasn’t fulfilling her role as a hired hand, having accepted a lot of Netherworld Currency from Zhou Tian.
If she fought, it would be awkward since she knew Mo Lin.
In this situation, pretending not to know each other was the wisest choice.
But apparently, Mo Lin didn’t think so.
"Hongyan Xun, you don’t recognize me?" Chapters first released on noⅴelfire.net
Mo Lin warmly approached Hongyan Xun and said, "I sold you a Ghost Artifact a while ago, and you’ve forgotten so soon?"
With Mo Lin saying something like that, Hongyan Xun could only grit her teeth and respond to Mo Lin.
"For the sake of us knowing each other, I won’t trouble you, you can go," Mo Lin said unhurriedly.
"I’m Zhou Tian’s hired hand... for the sake of us knowing each other..."
Hongyan Xun suddenly froze, "Ah..."
Why is Mo Lin stealing her lines?
Wasn’t she supposed to be the Level 4 Ghost-Controlling Master here?
"Don’t just stand there, you’d better leave now. I won’t give you any trouble," Mo Lin casually hinted for Hongyan Xun to leave.
"Uh... are you serious?"
Hongyan Xun was quite incredulous, feeling like she and Mo Lin should switch roles.
Something felt a bit off, didn’t it?
Mo Lin had finished saying everything she was going to say.
Did this guy in front of her have to be so familiar so quickly?
"I was paid for this," Hongyan Xun explained to Mo Lin.
"Two thousand Netherworld Currency." Hongyan Xun had agreed to work a day for Zhou Tian for two thousand Netherworld Currency.
"Refund the two thousand Netherworld Currency to Zhou Tian, and I’ll give you three thousand. You don’t have to get involved in this matter."
It’s no wonder Hongyan Xun was reluctant to leave; she had taken Zhou Tian’s two thousand Netherworld Currency.
At that moment, Hongyan Xun felt something indescribable, something felt off.
Was it the issue with the Netherworld Currency?
Mo Lin took out three thousand Netherworld Currency and handed it to Hongyan Xun.
After all, Mo Lin offered an extra thousand Netherworld Currency, Hongyan Xun accepted the currency.
Then, she returned the two thousand Netherworld Currency Zhou Tian had given her.
"I’m staying out of this," Hongyan Xun emphasized as she was only there for the money.
Mo Lin gave her an extra thousand Netherworld Currency, and she didn’t want to meddle any further.
The extra thousand Netherworld Currency was a secondary reason, the primary reason was knowing Mo Lin.
And Zhou Tian wasn’t a good person either, always doing evil deeds.
These combined factors made her decide not to get involved further.
"Fortunately you know me, or you wouldn’t have had a good ending today," Mo Lin advised Hongyan Xun.
"Uh...," Hongyan Xun felt Mo Lin was still stealing her lines.
Forget it, she didn’t want to argue with Mo Lin, she took the Netherworld Currency and left.
"Hongyan Xun... you can’t go..." Zhou Tian panicked as he saw his trump card leaving, calling after Hongyan Xun’s disappearing figure.
Hongyan Xun seemed not to hear Zhou Tian’s cries, her figure vanishing from where she stood.
Feng Mingyu silently gave a thumbs up.
Was Mo Lin really such a well-connected guy?
He actually knew Hongyan Xun.
But that wasn’t the main point; the main point was that Hongyan Xun really gave him respect and actually left.
Hongyan Xun was the top Ghost-Controlling Master in Yun Chuan, whether it was her status or position, she was at the very top.
"Bam!" Mo Lin delivered a kick to Zhou Tian.
This kick landed heavily on Zhou Tian’s face.
"You dare take my Netherworld Currency? Do you know no shame?" Mo Lin shouted angrily, snatching back the two thousand Netherworld Currency that Hongyan Xun had given to Zhou Tian.
Two thousand Netherworld Currency wasn’t a small amount.
Even though Mo Lin wasn’t short of Netherworld Currency now, he certainly wouldn’t waste it recklessly.
