"How many Grade Seven profound pills does the entire Heavenly Revelation Holy Land even have? To hook up with a woman, you just give it away like that? Are you afraid that our Heavenly Revelation Holy Land has too many resources?!"
When Wang Yuexin received the report from her disciples, she was so angry her hairpin nearly fell off.
Fortunately, she hadn't been in closed-door cultivation at the time. Otherwise, she really would have suffered qi deviation and ascended on the spot out of sheer anger at this unfilial son!
Lin Mo said innocently, "What million spirit stones? Mother, you've been listening to rumors again."
Since transmigrating, he had already successfully altered the original plot. Right now, he didn't feel guilty in the slightest.
"Didn't Father say that you are currently at a critical juncture in your tribulation transcendence, and you cannot casually lose your temper?"
In the original book, his mother repeatedly coughed up blood from the sheer anger he caused her, ultimately failing her heavenly tribulation and dying as a result.
'I absolutely cannot let that happen again!'
"I've been listening to rumors?"
Wang Yuexin's body trembled with rage. She knew exactly what kind of character her son had. If there was a rumor about him in the outside world, it was basically true!
"I'm asking you, did you give away the Holy Land's Grade Seven profound pill or not?"
"No."
Lin Mo answered simply and crisply.
Wang Yuexin: "..."
She looked into her son's eyes, feeling suspicious. He answered so decisively—could it be that she really had wronged him?
"You're not lying to me?"
Although her son was an extreme prodigal, when he did something stupid, he generally didn't deny it. As the saying goes: he knows he's wrong, he admits he's wrong, but he absolutely refuses to fix his wrong.
It angered her so much that she regretted not having a few more children when she was younger.
'Did I really wrong him this time?'
"I really didn't lie to you." Lin Mo looked completely open and candid as he pulled the Grade Seven Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill out from his robe.
"Here!"
Wang Yuexin hurriedly took the profound pill, inspected it closely, and confirmed it was the real deal.
"You brat, your personality really has changed. You haven't been possessed by an evil spirit, have you?"
Lin Mo was speechless.
'When I give the pill away, I get scolded. When I don't give it away, I'm suspected of being possessed. The old me was simply too outrageous!'
Wang Yuexin carefully put the pill away. A Grade Seven profound pill wasn't common cabbage, even in a Holy Land.
"Right, there's another matter I called you here for."
"What else?"
"A blind date!"
Wang Yuexin gave a mysterious smile. As long as she found a good wife for her son in advance, he wouldn't go off on the path of no return as Fang Ziyan's simp.
Not long after, a gentle-looking woman wearing a light yellow dress walked into the private room.
"Martial Aunt Wang, Brother Lin Mo, I'm sorry I'm late."
Bai Qingyu wore an apologetic expression. Her bearing was dignified, her eyes clear, and her willow brows curved beautifully. Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a flush of red from her hurried journey painted her cheeks.
"Qingyu, you're finally here. Quick, sit down!"
Wang Yuexin's eyes lit up. She immediately took Bai Qingyu's hand and pulled her over to sit right next to Lin Mo.
"How are things at the Jade Pool? I heard there was a demonic sect invasion—has it been resolved?"
Bai Qingyu was the daughter of her fellow disciple, Fairy Jade Pool, and the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool Holy Land.
Her appearance and character were flawless, and her cultivation talent was unmatched in the entire Jade Pool Holy Land. She had come to the Immortal Horizon Realm on orders to gain experience.
"It's fine. After Mother came out of seclusion, she forcefully suppressed the invading demonic sect members. It was a close call, but no real danger," Bai Qingyu smiled shyly, looking a tiny bit constrained.
"Qingyu, now that you're here, you're family. If you run into any difficulties, just tell your Martial Aunt, understood?" Wang Yuexin patted her hand affectionately.
In her youth, she and Bai Qingyu's mother were as close as sisters. Now, she had her sights fully set on the daughter, wanting to kidnap her back home as a daughter-in-law.
Compared to that green tea bitch of lowly birth who just strung her son along, her senior sister's daughter—whose roots were clear and who already had an emotional foundation—was simply perfect.
"I understand, Martial Aunt. I've always considered this place my own home." A faint, obedient smile hung on Bai Qingyu's lips.
"Alright, you young people have your own things to talk about. I won't disturb you anymore." Wang Yuexin stood up with a chuckle, leaving them alone.
A lone man and a lone woman in the same room—the flush on Bai Qingyu's face deepened.
"B-Brother Lin Mo, long time no see." Her voice was like a mosquito's, the last few words practically inaudible.
"Long time no see."
Lin Mo looked at this shy girl, his heart filled with emotion.
'This is a truly good girl. How could the me in the original book completely fail to cherish her?'
In the book, if there was one person whose fate was as miserable as Lin Mo's, it was undoubtedly Bai Qingyu.
Born into nobility, independent and strong, she was Lin Mo's childhood sweetheart who had secretly given him her heart.
After disaster befell the Jade Pool Holy Land, she established a small sect and became its master. Wang Yuexin wholeheartedly wanted her as a daughter-in-law and repeatedly sent cultivation resources.
But Bai Qingyu secretly sent them all back. She wanted to build a great sect herself to prove she wasn't just a pretty vase clinging to a Holy Land.
Her feelings for Lin Mo had reached the point of until death. Even when Lin Mo repeatedly rejected her, spoke rudely to her, and even hit and scolded her, she never abandoned him.
Later, when Chen Yu schemed against Lin Mo, causing the Heavenly Revelation Holy Land to fall apart, she took out all her savings—along with the sect she had painstakingly built—and gave everything to Lin Mo.
