Chapter 296: History

Mo Li was surprised that Quan Yu would be so heartless to the girl. She looked at him with a strange expression.

“Why are you looking at me like that? I don’t know anyone from the Lu Family except my cousin, Lu Qin. I’m not even that familiar with Lu Qin, much less this crazy woman. I haven’t even seen her before.”

Of course, you haven’t. Mo Li turned to look at the food on the table. In the original novel, Lu Ke was quite a miserable character. She was tricked by Lu Qin for 6 years. The chats and emails she had with ‘Quan Yu’ were manufactured by Lu Qin.

After Lu Ke arrived at Pearl River, the original Mo Li helped her uncover Lu Qin’s scam. Then the two officially formed an alliance. Mo Li helped Lu Ke win over Quan Yu while Lu Ke helped Mo Li gain Han Xu’s affection.

However, the current Mo Li had no interest to deal with this airhead at all. It would just be a waste of her time.

…

While the children of the Mo Family were busy with their own things, the Mo Family’s old house received a rare guest.

“Oh, why have you visited me in person today?” Elder Mo poured a cup of tea in his study. He studied Lin Qi before him. “You’re not here to ask my precious granddaughter to marry the kid at your home again, are you?”

Lin Qi tutted. “How narrow-minded can you be? I’m here for important business.”

Elder Mo and Lin Qi looked at each other with a strange look in their eyes. They never visited each other in private before because of their shared history. It was best that no one knew about this connection they had.

“They have returned.” Lin Qi said. The injury on Mo Xiao, the confession from the people they captured, and the things he found out from Xiao Rui, Lin Qi couldn’t sit idle anymore.

“What are you talking about.” Elder Mo’s hand froze for a moment.

“The 6 from back then…” Before Lin Qi finished, Elder Mo slammed the pot down. “If you continue this nonsense, I’ll have you chased out immediately!” Surprised by Elder Mo’s drastic reaction, Lin Qi looked at him curiously. “I’m just here to tell you to be careful. They have changed their names and have gained extra ranks compared to the Year of Ding Hai. They’re even madder than before, now they’re called Flower Appraisal.”

On the way back home, Lin Qi’s face was dark. He didn’t know much about this organization even though he had lived through a lot. Based on what he heard from his seniors, this organization was formed by the members of the White Lotus Cult. According to history, White Lotus was a cult formed at the end of the Qing Dynasty. They were pursued by the government but had survived underground until someone leaked their membership list. All the cult members were massacred until only 6 remained. The 6 survivors were said to have mastered the cultist magic of White Lotus. Even though no one knew their identity and power, there was a list that contained their names.

Han Sheng, Lu Ying, Quan Ting, Zhang Mian, Feng Zhan, Ruan Ji. According to records, these six either owned a mountain of gold or had exceptional skills. There was a rumor that a few of them knew the secrets to immortality.

When the Republic of China came into being, one of the 6 died. The others weakened. People hunted the 5 down because they wanted to know the White Lotus’ secrets. For one reason or another, people from various factions gathered to hunt down the 5 survivors. Just as they were about to succeed in capturing the 5 survivors, a historical event happened. The Ding Hai rebellion occurred.

Lin Qi shook his head. Things were just fishy. The timing was too curious. Just as the 5 survivors of the White Lotus were about to be cornered, the Ding Hai rebellion broke out? How convenient.

Based on Lin Qi’s speculation, Flower Appraisal was formed by the descendants of one of those 6 initial survivors. They wanted to take revenge on those who had leaked the membership list and caused White Lotus to fall.

Lin Qi believed that this had to do with the Han Family, Quan Family, Lu Family in Beijing. Of course, there could be other families who had hidden better. The descendants of the 6 would have intermingled with the government and risen to the surface. After all, what better place to hide than in the light?

Lin Qi was concerned about this was because this had to do with the rise of the Lin Family. He wanted to forget all about the past but since things were already happening, he had to be prepared.

…

Mo Li was tired when she reached home. As she opened the door, she saw Han Xu and Qiao Qing sitting on the couch, chatting and laughing.

Since Mo Yun was yet back, she had nothing much to say to these two. She greeted them and headed upstairs.

“Qing Qing…”
