Chapter 42 Family
"I may have to disappoint you, Little San. The God Position is not as simple as you imagine, and it cannot be obtained just by a few layouts."
"Otherwise, there wouldn't be only two powerful forces in this World. Afterwards, once I confirm whether the Goddess of the Moon's gaze has truly moved away from Notting City, I will have to leave. Little San, you should have guessed this, right?"
Hearing these words, Tang San's mood returned to reality. He cast a complex look at Brother Mo Bai, his ardent feelings gradually cooling down.
After this departure, it would be truly difficult to meet again. Brother Mo Bai would undoubtedly continue to pursue the footsteps of the gods.
If it were him, he would do the same.
Thinking carefully, he also quite envied Brother Mo Bai. Deep Family support, World-class transcendent talent, an appearance that lost to no one, and the title of Young Lord shouldering the Family's hopes—all these were things he desired but could not reach.
As for him, a fake Innate full soul power, even though he possessed Twin Martial Souls, his progress was truly too slow compared to Brother Mo Bai.
Clearly, in terms of combat power alone, the gap between the two was not large. In terms of talent, with the blessing of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, perhaps he could catch up. The only difference was the deep Family support...
Tang San's thought of envy flashed by. A Family that could pursue the most precious treasure in the World, the God Position, even if not as good as the few major forces Brother Mo Bai mentioned, must not be bad either.
Besides...
"Brother Mo Bai, can you really see the future?"
Tang San hesitated for a long time before asking the doubt that had always existed in his heart. If he didn't know the future, how could Brother Mo Bai have arranged everything in advance?
Mo Bai smiled but did not choose to answer directly. Instead, he said to Tang San, "Don't worry, Little San. Notting City is the beginning, but not the end. Next time, we will meet in Suotuo City."
After saying this, while Tang San's eyes brightened and a look of anticipation gradually surged, Mo Bai added another sentence:
"Of course, if Little San chooses to join my Family, perhaps this scene will arrive earlier. Rest assured, with my Family's ability, cultivating three Innate full soul power individuals is still quite simple."
Join the Family... Tang San smiled bitterly inside. If he really went to Brother Mo Bai's Family, he would probably be unable to move an inch. Even now, in front of Brother Mo Bai, he didn't dare to have any thoughts of circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Going there would only result in being restricted everywhere. Once his Cultivate speed slowed down, many of his secrets would be exposed.
Moreover, in his heart, whether it was his Soul or his thoughts, he still remained in the Sect of his previous life.
He would always be a person of the Tang Sect.
And just when Tang San wanted to apologize, Mo Bai spoke first: "What? Little San, do you not trust me, or do you not trust my Family? Although I cannot tell you the specific details, its strength will not be weaker than any other Family on the continent."
Delusion activated!
Hearing this, Tang San could not help but become serious. Brother Mo Bai's Family—a Soul Saint-level healing support system Soul Master, a Family Young Lord surpassing Innate full soul power, the ability to blockade a city, the ability to pursue a God Position...
All these series added together seemed to have constructed an orderly and massive Family in his mind.
But... joining is better forgotten.
"I believe, I believe!" Tang San nodded trustingly, but then changed the subject and said apologetically, "But I am still sorry, Brother Mo Bai. I have no intention of joining any forces for the time being."
However, when he looked up and saw Brother Mo Bai's joking gaze, the apology in his heart immediately dissipated a little. He was teasing him again...
Brother Mo Bai knew this would be the outcome from the beginning. Seeing through the future really is a skill that makes one helpless.
"Alright, alright, Little San, don't have any psychological burden. Just a casual mention. I don't know how many years it will be before we meet next time, and I don't want to leave a bad impression before I leave." Mo Bai patted Tang San's shoulder, looking full of friendship.
Hearing this, a bit of emotion rose in Tang San's heart. Before he could say anything more, Brother Mo Bai changed the subject: "It's getting late. Hurry back and rest."
Tang San opened his mouth, stunned. He inexplicably had the illusion of being discarded after being used, but how could that be possible? It was probably because of other reasons, like Brother Mo Bai having something to do.
"Then Brother Mo Bai, see you tomorrow."
He still had many questions. Today, he could go back and probe the teacher for information; perhaps he could obtain some extra details.
Recently, the things the teacher taught were becoming more and more obscure, and he always felt they were irrelevant. In two years of study, he was certainly not a fool. It was already quite good that the teacher could teach up to this point.
But rather than listening to those, it would be better to talk about things he was interested in.
Before long, Mo Bai watched Tang San leave and closed the door. The System's voice seemed to emerge in his mind once again.
[Ding! Tang San believes your lie—the Family—to be true. Trust level 100%, manifestation level 100%. Successfully manifested a Family with a Soul Saint as the strongest!]
"Soul Saint..." Mo Bai nodded.
Just as he had thought from the beginning, even though Tang San's trust level in him was very, very high, his imagination always remained on the highest-ranked person he had ever seen—such as Ah Yin.
But even so, a Soul Saint Family was enough for him to lay out most of the subsequent matters.
With his mind settled, not long after, a "knock, knock, knock" sound came from the door. He said "Come in," and two people pushed the door open and entered.
The people who came were a woman and a man, whose appearances were almost 90% similar to Shadow One and Pupil One. Undoubtedly, Tang San's ability to fill in the blanks was constructed based on the Family members he had seen around him.
Even their Martial Souls were similar.
They were Shadow and Eye, respectively.
"Then, from now on, you shall be called Shadow Two and Pupil Two."
"Yes, Young Lord." The two knelt on one knee.
"Introduce the current situation of the Family." Mo Bai gave an order. Since a Family had been manifested, it certainly consisted of more than just the strongest members; there were also various contents under its banner.
Following that, under the narration and explanation of Shadow Two and Pupil Two, he roughly understood the composition of the Family. The Family was divided into three departments:
One, the Shadow Department, led by Shadow Two, responsible for assassination, information transmission, protection, and various secret operations.
Two, the Pupil Department, led by Pupil Two, responsible for investigation, surveillance, and undertaking some guard duties.
Three, the Healing and Logistics Department, led by Ah Yin, with most Martial Souls being plant-type Martial Souls, responsible for healing and logistics.
Currently, the Family has about two hundred people with Soul Power, covering all stages from Soul Saint to Soul Master. The strongest are undoubtedly Shadow Two and Pupil Two, both at Rank 79 Soul Saint.
"Peak Soul Saint? Very good."
Mo Bai secretly thought that the Soul Power Rank would not be fixed because of the manifestation; both could practice the Meditation Technique to improve their strength.
Rank 79 is only one Rank away from Rank 80 Soul Douluo. With the blessing of the Meditation Technique, it is not impossible to achieve a Breakthrough. This strength is completely sufficient for laying out plans in Suotuo City.
In addition, thanks to the characteristic of absolute loyalty, it can also provide some convenience for the True God Cult.
