Lin Mo’s Dramatic Change in Temperament

The matter of the branch store agency rights caused great divergence within the Yunhua Sect.

The profits were simply too high. Even as just an agent, the returns were unbelievable.

Inside the main hall of the Yunhua Sect, the elders were engaged in a fierce debate. As the Acting Pavilion Master of the Purple Abyss Pavilion and the producer of these goods, Yan Yun had also been summoned by Fairy Yunshuang. Jiang Yao was present as well.

“Sect Master, in terms of secular influence, there are few powers in the world today that can compare to the Lin family. Entrusting the various branch stores to the Lin family for unified agency is the most suitable arrangement. Of course, I must first declare that I am not saying this because my disciple is a member of the Lin family, but out of the most stable and reasonable consideration,” Yunhong spoke first.

But his words were immediately countered by Yun Yan.

“Grand Elder, are you still trying to distance yourself from the Lin family at a time like this? From what I know, the spirit stones the Lin family presents to you each year are not a small amount, are they?”

“Indeed. The Lin family may be powerful in the secular world, but their reputation is extremely poor. Annihilating entire families… if not for their status as a secular power and the protection of the royal family, they would have long been attacked by the masses. Speaking of which, the exposure of the poison art and its spread by that boy is also directly related to the Lin family. Now the Lin family wants to come and drink someone else’s blood? Isn’t that a bit too shameless?” the Sixth Elder, Yun Ning, also said sarcastically.

Hearing this, Yunhong could not sit still. He quickly defended himself, “That is a matter of the secular world. What does it have to do with us in the cultivation world? Junior Brothers, do not use this as an excuse to digress. Can we please discuss the matter at hand?”

After saying this, he quickly looked at the Fourth Elder, Yun Heng, and the Fifth Elder, Yun Bo.

Catching Yunhong’s gaze, the two immediately stated their position, “The Grand Elder is right. We should focus on the matter at hand. The Lin family’s actions are a secular affair and have nothing to do with our Yunhua Sect.”

But the two sides held their ground, refusing to yield. Fairy Yunshuang disliked the Lin family from the bottom of her heart, so after a moment of thought, she interrupted the argument.

“Since you all have your own opinions, let’s have Ziyun, the person in question, speak. After all, she is the creator of these things.”

This sentence stopped the argument. Yunhong and the others all turned their gazes to Yan Yun.

And Yan Yun seemed to have anticipated this outcome, so she had been contemplating her response.

Seeing everyone looking at her, she said, “Since the Sect Master has asked me to speak… First of all, I feel the Lin family’s influence in the secular world is already large enough. If we let them act as agents for the branch stores, they will surely earn a massive amount of spirit stones from this agency right. This means their power in the secular world will likely skyrocket.”

“If their power in the secular world skyrockets, it will inevitably affect the cultivation world. Furthermore, there are almost no powers in the secular world that can check them. Isn’t this just letting them run rampant? Based on my contact with the Lin family members in the Yunhua Sect during this time, I feel that every single one of them in that family is a bit too arrogant. Personally, I don’t like them,” Yan Yun said.

Her words stunned Yunhong.

“Little girl Zi, what’s wrong? Did the Lin family disrespect you or provoke you?”

Yunhong was surely unaware that the Lin family had provoked her several times.

Yan Yun didn’t want to offend Yunhong, so she explained the situation to him. Of course, when Yunhong learned that Lin Mo had privately instigated the Lin family to offend Yan Yun multiple times, he fell silent for a moment.

Although no great disaster had occurred, based on these actions alone, even he would not have given the agency rights to the Lin family.

With Yan Yun having spoken, Yunhong found it difficult to continue insisting.

He couldn’t find a reason. If anyone was to blame, it was the Lin family for being so thoroughly unlikeable.

“Indeed. I personally do not wish for the Lin family to be the agent. Grand Elder, are you aware that your disciple has been using his family’s power in the secular world to attack and suppress Muyu’s family? I originally did not want to bring this matter to the table, but since little girl Zi has spoken, I must also make my position clear.”

Her words were telling Yunhong: your disciple does not respect the authority of the Sect Master, so the Lin family can forget about this benefit.

“This? Ai! Alright, then let’s use the previous method. Each of you can recommend other families to be agents,” Yunhong said helplessly.

Every elder could find an agent, but they were not allowed to have any connection with the Lin family.

And the agency rights for Qifeng City were naturally given by Fairy Yunshuang to the Yan and Jiang families to operate jointly.

For the Yan and Jiang families, this was definitely a stroke of luck, like a pie falling from the sky.

After the distribution was over, Yunhong went to Lin Mo’s residence with a gloomy expression.

When he arrived, he did not enter the house, but instead let out a cold snort at Lin Mo inside.

“Lin Mo, get your ass out here! Stop hiding in the house! You can’t hide forever!”

His voice directly penetrated the formation of Lin Mo’s residence and entered Lin Mo’s ears.

At this moment, Lin Mo was cultivating the poison art in his room. However, after not seeing him for a while, he seemed a bit strange.

Suddenly being interrupted from his cultivation by his master’s voice, Lin Mo immediately showed a look of displeasure.

However, he still got up and walked out. Strangely, he was wearing a rather flamboyant set of clothes and had even put on makeup, giving off an androgynous feeling.

“Master, what has made you so angry? Your disciple was in the middle of cultivation,” a soft, androgynous voice said as Lin Mo, with his greatly changed appearance, walked out of the room.

Yunhong glanced at Lin Mo and almost coughed up a mouthful of old blood.

“You? How long has it been, and you’ve become like this? Dressed like this, neither male nor female, what has become of you?”

Yunhong was so angry he raised his hand and slapped Lin Mo across the face.

He must have already known that Lin Mo had lost his normal male functions due to the side effects of the poison art, but he hadn’t expected Lin Mo’s personality to change so drastically in such a short time.

Lin Mo was slapped to the ground. His posture as he fell, combined with his flamboyant and feminine attire, made him look like a delicate woman.

“Master, it’s not that I wanted to become like this. It’s a side effect of the poison art. I can’t control my heart and thoughts. Besides, haven’t you always supported your disciple’s cultivation?” Lin Mo said in a feminine voice.

This fellow, it was feared, had not only become a eunuch from his cultivation, but his mind had also been twisted.

His words left Yunhong at a loss for what to say. He had never expected Lin Mo to become like this.

“You? Ai! I should not have had too many improper expectations of you. I came here to tell you that because you sent people to provoke that Ziyun several times, and with the Sect Master’s opposition, the Lin family did not get the agency rights,” Yunhong said.

However, this Lin Mo seemed completely indifferent to this.

“If we didn’t get it, we didn’t get it. I don’t care. I just want to focus on cultivating and researching this poison art. Nothing else concerns me,” this Lin Mo said, gesturing with a delicate finger, his voice soft and airy.

Yunhong really couldn’t take it anymore.

“I… I think you… you should go back to the Lin family. I’ll have your family come and pick you up. In your current state, you are no longer suitable to stay in the Yunhua Sect.”

But the moment Yunhong said this, this Lin Mo let out a strange chuckle.

“Is Master ashamed of your disciple?”

Yunhong didn’t want to say another word and disappeared with a whoosh.

Only after he left did a thick killing intent spread across Lin Mo’s face.

“Old thing, I will remember this slap. Sooner or later, you will regret it,” Lin Mo said coldly, watching Yunhong’s departing back.

After saying this, he returned to his own residence and continued to study the poison art.

Ever since he had successfully cultivated the poison art, an inexplicable voice in his heart had been telling him that there was something wrong with it. So he planned to use his own methods to thoroughly study this poison art. Even if he didn’t find the problem, he had to find a cultivation path that belonged solely to him.

He had lost too much to cultivate this poison art. If he couldn’t become the most powerful cultivator in this world, then his losses would be too great.
