Chapter 88 - 88 - You are not worthy of me

The old woman's shadow became more and more blurry and her voice became more and more distant. Mo Ling activated her Inner Qi again, wanting to make the old woman's soul last a little longer.

However, the instant the incantation came out of her mouth, a strange wind blew into the room from the window, dispersing a wisp of the old woman's soul.

Mo Ling immediately retracted all of her internal energy, and tightly furrowed her brows as she looked at the empty space in front of him.

Instead of clarifying what he wanted to know, he felt even more perplexed.

Her soul had been preserved by the old woman, so she definitely knew about everything that had happened back then.

Maybe he knew from the start that he was able to keep a sliver of his soul. As a result, his rebirth wasn't a coincidence.

Mo Ling felt that the matter was getting more and more complicated, as though she had been involved in a conspiracy that she didn't even know about.

No, she had to find out!

He placed the mirror in front of him, bit his finger, and drew a symbol on the mirror. Then, he chanted an incantation to summon out the old woman's soul again.

"Celestial spirit, earth spirit, the Divine Lord of the Underworld …" Closing his eyes, Mo Ling's lips continued to open and close, chanting the incantation time and time again, but there was no reaction in the mirror.

Mo Ling opened her eyes and looked at the mirror in her hand, her eyebrows furrowed even more, she started the incantation again and heard the sound of the mirror shattering.

How could this be?

Mo Ling looked at the broken mirror and gave up on summoning the soul of the old lady.

The old lady had died on the day of the birthday banquet. The hearts of everyone in Mo Family were in panic, especially when they couldn't find the old lady's corpse.

Mo Rou had originally wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Mo Ling, but she was stopped by Mo Shuai and had no place to start.

Mo Rou was prepared to give the old lady a funeral and build a memorial grave, and this matter was handled by the new Family Head.

Thus, everyone turned their attention to the Family Head's preliminaries.

The original preliminary competition of the Family Head had also become a competition of the Family Head s. After all, the Mo Family was a hundred-year-old family that could not afford to lose its owner for a single day.

Therefore, the competition this time around had raised the requirement to not participate, those with more than two generations of blood ties were not allowed to participate, but those with high alchemy standards were not allowed to participate, the married women of Mo Family were not allowed to participate.

Under the series of rules, only a few people would be able to participate.

"You are not allowed to participate." The mama by Mo Rou's side looked at Mo Ling who was walking over and said disdainfully, "This is the Family Head that's being chosen, not trash."

The mama's attitude was extremely domineering, with contempt evident in her eyes. She glanced at Mo Ling, and then opened her mouth to send her away.

Because of the old woman's matter, Mo Ling felt extremely frustrated in his heart. Seeing the mama's attitude, the flames of fury in his heart burned, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed past his eyes that were as calm as a spring of water.

"How come I don't know that in the campaign for Patriarch Mo, a servant is needed to judge the qualifications of the candidate?"

Mo Ling's tone was extremely cold, immediately causing the mama to feel as if she was in a thousand-year cold pond.

After Zhao mama died, she became a popular person around Mo Rou. All the servants in Mo Mansion tried everything they could to please her, and even the distant cousins in Mo Family came to find a way to give her a present.

But now, a young lady from the Mo Mansion called her a slave. How could she endure this anger?

"You little b * stard, how dare you speak to me like that!" The mama stood up, pointed at Mo Ling, and said arrogantly.

In the Mammy's eyes, Mo Ling was just a good-for-nothing young miss who had no one to rely on in the Mo Family.

Madame Rou had already ordered that Third Miss would not be allowed to participate in the Family Head's campaign, so she had to think of all means to stop it.

Pointing a finger at Mo Ling, the wet nurse's face was filled with scorn and no trace of respect.

Looking at the finger in front of her, the corner of Mo Ling's mouth lifted slightly. She pinched the finger the moment the mama's finger came close to him, and a smile bloomed on her calm face. This smile caused the mama's heart to jump, she swore that this was the most terrifying smile she had ever seen in her life.

"You, you, quickly let me go!" A wave of fear rose from the bottom of the mama's heart. It was as if she could smell the scent of death.

Hehe.

Mo Ling sneered in her heart, Let go of you? Dream on!

Ka-cha! *

The sound of bones breaking was extremely distinct. At almost the same time, a sinister expression suddenly appeared on the mama's arrogant face. Her entire finger had been snapped by Mo Ling, along with a little bit of flesh, as fresh blood flowed out …

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The mama howled in pain, but didn't dare to say a single word while holding onto her fingers.

Mo Ling's gaze turned extremely cold, "Remember your status, you're just a servant. If you want to fake your reputation, you have to clearly see your opponent!"

The pain of her fingers being cut off caused her to not even have the strength to open her mouth, as she stared fixedly at Mo Ling.

"I will teach my servants a lesson myself. I won't trouble Third Miss to take action." Unknowingly, Mo Rou had arrived beside Mo Ling and coincidentally heard his words. Killing intent surfaced on Hua Gui's graceful face.

Hearing that, Mo Ling turned her head back, meeting Mo Rou's eyes that was filled with killing intent, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, "Madame Rou is very busy, it's unavoidable that there would be times when there's no time for it, for a small matter like this, Ling'er will be fine."

This time, Mo Ling did not retreat. The moment Mo Rou killed the old lady, she already wanted to kill Mo Rou.

The Mo Ling in front of him looked more and more like that lowly person, especially his pair of cold eyes. It was just that the Mo Ling in front of him had lost a bit of arrogance, and had gained an extra bit of calmness.

"Thank you, Third Miss, for your kindness. What mistake did this mama make?" A hint of warning and threat appeared in Mo Rou's eyes.

Mo Ling revealed without fear that the matter of the mama stopping him from participating in the Family Head's election would cause her to give off a peaceful aura. Only the hint of coldness in her eyes that could not be wiped away showed how unhappy she was right now.

Mo Rou glared at the mama, chased her away, and pretended to be understanding as she said, "This is mama's fault, just that, if Third Miss doesn't know how to refine medicine, then the Family Head's election is truly out of question."

"Don't worry Madame Rou, I won't stand here even if I don't know how to refine medicine." Mo Ling retorted, if she did not know how to refine pills, then who in the Mo Family would dare call himself an alchemist?

Mo Rou's eyes flickered slightly as she stared at Mo Ling unkindly, as if he wanted to see through her, "You have never passed the Alchemy exam, there's no basis for your words. I cannot allow you to participate so easily."

The meaning behind Mo Rou's words was that Mo Ling did not have the qualifications.

However, Mo Ling did not mind at all. She smiled, and it was as if the smile contained all the brilliance in the world, causing the sun and moon to lose their luster, and it could not help but hurt Mo Rou's eyes.

Not only that, Mo Ling's following words almost made him angry from embarrassment.
