The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1601 - 1602: I Was Always Meant to Leave

"What? The runes are crafted to perfection? Truly impeccable?"

Old Luo almost dropped his eyes upon hearing these words, staring at the seal in utter disbelief. This man in white robes was Yuan Li, quite renowned in Immortal Spirit City. For him to utter words like perfection and impeccable—what did that signify?

"Indeed, this seal can unleash the full power of the Fire Tomb. It could allow a Lower-Ranked Immortal to instantly kill another Lower-Ranked Immortal Martial Artist."

As Yuan Li spoke, a shiver ran through his heart. Just moments ago, he called Ye Mo nothing more than a kitten or a puppy, yet the man could craft such flawless seals. Perhaps even Master Mu of Immortal Spirit City couldn’t achieve this level of perfection.

"How many seals did he sell you?"

Yuan Li continued to inquire.

"He sold me forty seals: thirty are First Rank Basic Level, and ten are First Rank Advanced Level."

Old Luo replied.

"Let me see!"

Yuan Li was emotionally stirred and immediately rifled through the seals on the counter. Every one of the thirty Fire Tomb Immortal Talismans crafted by Ye Mo was nearly perfect, as were the ten First Rank Advanced Level seals.

"Incredible, a genius Immortal Talisman Master! You could easily triple the price of these charms."

"What? Triple?"

"Yes, I can’t stay to chat with you now; I must find out where that genius Immortal Talisman Master is."

With these words, Yuan Li left the Immortal Treasure Meeting immediately.

As for Ye Mo, with 650,000 Immortal Stones in hand, he had no desire to buy charm paper or Immortal Cores. There was no profit in it; he’d rather spend that time cultivating.

"Ye Mo, the shopkeeper must be blind. Given your level, no one can match the seals you crafted."

Talisman Fatty, too, was indignant for Ye Mo. The Immortal Talismans he crafted were worth far more than the price.

"What good does it do to argue? Didn’t you see how impatient the shopkeeper looked? Had he refused my seals, I wouldn’t have gotten back my 650,000 Immortal Stones. At least I broke even. It seems the path of making a fortune through crafting seals is a dead end."

Ye Mo returned directly to the mansion. Just as he was about to step through the door, he saw Xuanyuan Ze and Ling Shan walking out side by side. Xuanyuan Ze stopped in surprise upon seeing Ye Mo, "Shan Shan, is he a servant in your mansion?"

"He’s a friend of the Ling Mansion, staying with us for a few days until the Immortal Martial Academy opens, then he’ll be leaving."

Ling Shan glanced at Ye Mo then diverted her gaze, casually saying.

"Oh? A friend?"

Xuanyuan Ze was slightly startled. How could a Martial Artist who ascended from the secular world become a friend of the Ling Mansion? Although Immortal Spirit City wasn’t a significant city in the Fengling Dynasty, a City Lord’s mansion still held some sway in both power and influence. How could it be that this Ye Mo is a friend of the City Lord’s mansion?

"Ye Mo once helped my father and me."

Not wanting Xuanyuan Ze to get upset, Ling Shan quickly explained.

"I see."

Listening to Ling Shan’s explanation, Xuanyuan Ze nodded, looked at Ye Mo, and said, "No wonder you’re so arrogant—it turns out you have such backing in the City Lord’s mansion. Today, out of respect for Shan Shan, I’ll overlook it, but be careful in the future."

With that, Xuanyuan Ze left the City Lord’s mansion with Ling Shan.

"What a small world!"

Ye Mo shook his head. Apparently, staying in the City Lord’s mansion wasn’t feasible. Even if Ling Yue Group wanted to help, he didn’t want to make it challenging for him. Given the current conflict with Xuanyuan Ze, leaving now was beneficial for both parties.

Now, with the Ling Mansion’s proposal to Xuanyuan Ze, Ye Mo could guess the subtleties even with his eyes closed.

"I should bid farewell to Lord Ling and then leave the mansion."

With those words, Ye Mo made his way to the main hall. However, Lord Ling was not present, and instead, Madam Ling was seated at the head position. Seeing Ye Mo approach, she immediately said to him, "Ye Mo, please sit!"

"What does Madam Ling need from me?"

Ye Mo nodded and took a seat beside her, inquiring calmly.

"Servant girl, serve Ye Mo some tea!"

Madam Ling ordered, and a servant girl promptly served Ye Mo a cup of tea.

Taking a sip, Ye Mo immediately felt a warm energy flowing into his five organs and six viscera, feeling very comfortable.

"Ye Mo, the tea you just drank isn’t ordinary; it’s the Immortal Spirit Cloud Spring, more expensive than Immortal Stones. A single sip costs ten Immortal Stones, and finishing this entire cup would cost a hundred Immortal Stones—do you understand my meaning?"

Though Madam Ling’s voice was steady, its implication was entirely directed at Ye Mo.

Just now, she had heard from the staff that Xuanyuan Ze seemed to have some conflict with Ye Mo, and Madam Ling immediately had the thought of expelling Ye Mo from the mansion. Initially, Xuanyuan Ze hadn’t visited the City Lord’s mansion, and for the sake of Ling Yue Group and their daughter, they would have allowed Ye Mo to stay. However, Xuanyuan Ze was to reside in the mansion until the Great Four Academies’ recruitment, and he would directly register to join them. Although he was a prince, the royal status didn’t grant him any privileges in this regard. With his natural talents, entering the Immortal Martial Academy was assured.

"I’m not sure what you mean, Madam!"

Ye Mo smiled calmly, wanting Madam Ling to state her intentions explicitly.

"Fine, then I’ll lay it out plainly. You seem to hold a grudge against His Royal Highness, the Second Prince, right? Now that he proposes to our Ling Mansion, and we’ve consented, and Shan’er has gladly accepted, don’t think helping our City Lord’s mansion means you can constantly rely on us or even dream of pursuing my daughter."

Madam Ling said coldly, "Originally, with your help to Yue Group and Shan’er, your stay in the mansion until the Great Four Academies’ recruitment was not an issue. But now that the Second Prince is staying in our Ling Mansion, you understand what I’m getting at, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo chuckled and said, "Madam Ling, actually, I came to the main hall just to take my leave from Lord Ling."

"What did you say?"

Madam Ling was slightly surprised and asked again.

"I came to bid Lord Ling farewell. I know my presence might bring you inconvenience. Although I’ve helped your Ling Family, your family, especially your daughter, has also helped me. Both in sentiment and reason, I shouldn’t trouble you."

Ye Mo chuckled, stood up, drained his cup of tea, and said lightly, "This cup of tea indeed is the most unique I’ve tasted, yet also the most unpalatable."

"Please inform Lord Ling and Ling Shan for me!"

With that, Ye Mo left the hall without turning back.
