Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 417 (first watch of the night)

Chapter 417: 417 (first watch of the night)

A double meaning in a single phrase.

Mo Feixue, as clever as she was, naturally detected the implied meaning in the elderly Madame Mo’s words.

As the saying goes, ’You are influenced by the company you keep.’

Having lived in the mundane world for many years, it was inevitable for the elderly Madame Mo to eventually become shortsighted. Mo Feixue could afford to ignore her words.

Mo Feixue said with a smile, "Auntie, I was just saying it casually. Don’t take it to heart."

Having witnessed the elderly Madame Mo’s level of defense for Chu Jin before, Mo Feixue knew that saying more at this point would be futile and would only make the elderly Madame Mo dislike her even more.

The elderly Madame Mo had been completely brainwashed by that ordinary person.

After their last conversation, she discovered that the ordinary person was indeed very articulate and not as simple as she appeared, so it was normal for the elderly Madame Mo to be brainwashed.

But no matter how extraordinary she was, in the end, she was just an ordinary person.

Her union with Mo Zhixuan would never yield any outcome, simply a waste of time.

Mo Feixue intended to use the coming Night of Extreme Yin to make the elderly Madame Mo see Zheng Chuyi’s worth.

She absolutely could not concede half of the Superpower World’s territory.

The Mo family was destined to stand at the pinnacle of the Superpower World.

The elderly Madame Mo didn’t pursue the topic any further but turned to ask Zhou Xunian, "Is this Master Chu you speak of really that remarkable?"

Under the current circumstances, she wouldn’t let go of even the slightest hope.

Even if Master Chu were just an ordinary person, she wanted to give it a try.

"Indeed," Zhou Xunian nodded, "The popular opinion about him is very high right now. It’s said that true talent often lies hidden among the masses, and a celestial being may come from humble origins."

Hearing this, the elderly Madame Mo nodded in agreement, her many years in the mundane world had witnessed its step-by-step development, and she knew well the exceptional wisdom of humanity.

Without their special abilities, those from the Superpower World might not even compare to the people of the mundane world.

At the very least, ordinary humans had managed to reach the moon on their own merit.

Moreover, many modern technological products were being adopted into the Superpower World.

It was quite amusing to think that while some people from the Superpower World were using mundane world products, they looked down upon its inhabitants, a puzzling attitude indeed.

"You’re right, we’ll do as you suggest. Tomorrow, I’ll have someone invite Master Chu over."

Zhou Xunian, though he had never seen Master Chu’s true face, had heard others speak of him in near mythical terms. Half a month ago, he had attempted to pay Master Chu a visit, only to find out from the locals that Master Chu hadn’t been seen for a long time.

He hadn’t believed these rumors at first until one day, even the Little Princess of the Underworld, Gan Yuying, spoke of this Master Chu. It made him recognize that Master Chu must be someone with real talent, it was just unfortunate that he hadn’t had the chance to meet Master Chu in person.

With this thought, Zhou Xunian expressed his regret, "Alas, I just don’t know whether we can still find Master Chu now." After all, he had been missing for so many days.

At these words, the elderly Madame Mo’s expression tightened nervously, "Xunian, what do you mean by that? What do you mean whether we can still find him?"

Just as she glimpsed a ray of hope, was she to be disappointed now?

Zhou Xunian sighed and shared the situation in detail with the elderly Madame Mo.

"How could this be..." The elderly Madame Mo’s eyes were filled with melancholy and concern.

Mo Feixue consoled, "Auntie, don’t worry. Zhixuan is blessed with good fortune, and even without any help, I believe he will certainly make it through this trial."

To call her words comforting would be less accurate than describing them as a veiled strike.

It had to be said, language indeed is an art form.

As expected, after hearing this, the elderly Madame Mo’s complexion turned even grimmer. The Night of Extreme Yin was already a terrifying event, combined with Master Zhang’s dire divination, she was completely panicked.

After all, it concerned her only son.

What mother wouldn’t want to ensure her child’s wellbeing, especially when their life was in jeopardy?

Seeing the worry in the elderly Madame Mo’s eyes, Zhou Xunian also offered consolation, "Auntie Mo, maybe Master Chu has just temporarily gone out for a walk. Since there’s some time before the Night of Extreme Yin, he might return by then."

The elderly Madame Mo’s eyes harbored a deep look, and she didn’t respond.

Mo Feixue, after pondering for a moment, said gently, "Actually, we can’t put all our hopes on Master Chu. Auntie, since Master Zhang can predict the will of heaven, why don’t you ask him if there is a way to resolve this?"

Many years ago, Zhang Linzi had already stated that in order for the heir of the Mo family to safely make it through the Night of Extreme Yin, they must marry the True Destiny Maiden of the Bloodline of Fire Bathing.

This was fate, as well as a cycle of reincarnation.

No doubt, that Zhang Linzi’s divination being an omen of great misfortune had some connection to Zheng Chuyi’s departure.

Mo Feixue was very smart, and her words were elegantly chosen.

The elderly Madame Mo sighed and didn’t pick up on Mo Feixue’s suggestion but said instead, "You two look over the array again for any flaws. I’ll find a way with Master Chu. Even if I have to search the entire Capital City, I will find him."
