This Young Master Mo, either abstains from lowly pleasures with noble character; or is someone with an abnormal mind, conducting himself unscrupulously, a "pervert".
Mo Hua said, "The question I asked you earlier, answer it again. Did you really kill that tiger?"
Elder Ji, this time, dared not to hide anything and said, "I... don’t know."
Mo Hua looked at him calmly.
Elder Ji shuddered, "I really don’t know, I sold it to someone else."
"Sold?"
"Yes," Elder Ji said anxiously, "I sold it!"
Seeing Mo Hua didn’t believe him, Elder Ji said, "About ten years ago, a cultivator of unusual status arrived in Canglang City, I... I... catered to his... vices..."
"He was very happy, so he made a deal with me... asking me to capture ’tigers’ for him."
Mo Hua’s gaze sharpened, "Capture tigers?"
Elder Ji nodded, "Yes, capture tigers, especially those who dominate the forests and are strong tiger demons, preferably with unique bloodlines, with the ’King’ character on their foreheads..."
"But Young Master, you also know, tiger demons are the kings among monster beasts, extremely rare, those with the ’King’ character on their foreheads, even rarer."
"I initially didn’t want to agree, but that person said if it succeeded, they would offer me many benefits. They would also provide a huge opportunity for Canglang Sect."
"I was uncertain, so I spoke with the Sect Leader. The Sect Leader agreed and even dispatched a team to assist me in hunting tiger demons."
"Later, I inquired everywhere and learned that in the depths of Big Black Mountain outside Tongxian City, there was a large tiger with black and white patterns residing."
"So, I exerted tremendous effort, lost about ten men, only then captured this tiger demon..."
"After capturing it, I delivered this tiger demon to that distinguished ’guest’."
"And that guest indeed fulfilled the promise and gifted me many things, including Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Stones, and beauties..."
Mo Hua’s gaze flickered, "And what about the great opportunity for Canglang Sect they mentioned?"
Elder Ji shook his head, "I don’t know about that, you’d have to ask the former Sect Leader about it."
Anyhow, having Spirit Stones and beauties was enough for him.
Mo Hua asked again, "Who is this guest and where are they now?"
Elder Ji shook his head, seeing Mo Hua’s displeased look, he quickly added:
"Young Master, I truly don’t know. Since they were a ’guest’, I wasn’t authorized to ask their identity; I was just in charge of hosting them, accompanying them for meals, drinks, and entertainment, everything else was none of my business."
"Can you find him?" Mo Hua asked.
"This..." Elder Ji frowned, carefully remembered, and slowly said, "I only have one clue..."
"At the time I captured the tiger demon, I had it tied up and escorted to a small Immortal City south of Canglang City called Little Post City, then handed it over personally to a steward at the local post station as per the ’guest’s’ instruction..."
"But this was all ten years ago..."
"Little Post City..." Mo Hua’s eyes narrowed, then pointed at Elder Ji, "Lead the way to Little Post City now."
Elder Ji showed a troubled expression.
Mo Hua said coldly, "If you find this person, I will spare your life. If not, there’s no need for you to live on."
Elder Ji, helpless, could only reply with a bitter expression, "Understood..."
After that, Elder Ji changed out of his prison clothes, removed the chains, draped himself in a gray robe, sat at the front of the carriage, and drove Mo Hua towards Little Post City in the south...
