I owe you a favor

"Bai Li Hongzhuang is truly intelligent. It seems that the person from the Shitian Tower who wanted to kill you will be disappointed," Mo Yunjue said, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips. "It seems this beast king has made considerable progress in your hands."

Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded lightly, her attitude calm. "It has already broken through once."

Regarding Mo Yunjue, she had an indescribable feeling. When they first met in the Luoyun Mountain Range, they had merely made a trade. But she always felt that Mo Yunjue was someone with a story, a story that might be quite heavy.

In their previous encounter, they had fought to a draw. But this time, Mo Yunjue had clearly helped her, so she owed him a favor.

"Wasn't Miss Bai Li in the Luoyun Mountain Range? Why have you appeared in the Qingxiao Kingdom?" Mo Yunjue, sensing Bai Li Hongzhuang's indifferent attitude, took the initiative to bring up the topic.

In fact, he was a person who was naturally aloof and never had the desire to converse with others. However, Bai Li Hongzhuang was an exception.

The first time he saw her, he felt that she was different from others. At that time, his injuries were severe, and as someone who had traveled the martial world for many years, he thought he might not survive. But this woman unexpectedly helped him detoxify.

So, seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang again, he couldn't help but feel some interest.

"I'm planning to go to the Lingyin Academy," Bai Li Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow. "Why are you here?"

"As a mere businessman, I naturally go wherever there is business."

"You're a businessman?" Bai Li Hongzhuang was slightly surprised. From Mo Yunjue's appearance, it was hard to imagine him being involved in business from any angle.

Mo Yunjue smiled, his lips curving. "Businessmen don't necessarily have to look like businessmen. I'm glad I haven't been tainted by the stench of copper that comes with being a businessman."

However, his business was slightly different from that of ordinary people.

Bai Li Hongzhuang looked deeply into Mo Yunjue's eyes. From his appearance, it didn't seem like he was lying. In fact, she had only met Mo Yunjue twice, so there was no need for him to deceive her.

"You indeed don't look like a businessman, but being involved in business is not a bad thing."

Bai Li Hongzhuang pondered in her heart. Last time, Mo Yunjue was heavily injured in the Luoyun Mountain Range, and he managed to escape from the Cloud-Swallowing Python. It was evident that Mo Yunjue was incredibly powerful.

This businessman should not be an ordinary one.

"Bai Li Hongzhuang, you saved my life last time, and I have always been grateful for it. If we have the opportunity in the future, let me treat you to a meal," Mo Yunjue's voice was warm, and his deep, dark eyes revealed no emotion.

"This time, you have already saved me. I should consider myself indebted to you," she replied. Bai Li Hongzhuang didn't like taking advantage of others. If Mo Yunjue hadn't appeared tonight to help, her situation would probably have been much worse.

Mo Yunjue waved his hand. "If Miss Bai Li hadn't saved me last time, I wouldn't have been able to appear here this time. So, I still owe you a debt of gratitude."

Bai Li Hongzhuang furrowed her brows slightly. Mo Yunjue's roundabout way of speaking was starting to confuse her.

"Let it be as you say," Bai Li Hongzhuang sighed helplessly. "If we have the chance to meet again in the future..."

They were merely passing strangers, and it was already remarkable to have met for the second time. The chances of meeting again in the future were probably even smaller.

"We will definitely have the opportunity," Mo Yunjue said.
