Chapter 672: Denial

Third Mo was secretly very surprised, but he didn’t reveal it on his face as he denied, “You have the wrong person.”

“Wrong person? How could it be. You look exactly like the picture Tenth Bro gave us. How could we have the wrong person?” Wu La Xiu didn’t believe him.

“I don’t know anyone from your clan, furthermore, I don’t even know which clan you belong to. How could I possibly be acquainted with your tenth prince?” Third Mo still refused to admit his identity.

At the same moment, he was trying what kind of identity Shui Qing Man and the other had. The Queen and Prince of a clan was willing to step in personally to help him? They even knew who he was. Could it be that they had rescued him because they had an ulterior motive?

Wu La Er was familiar with this kind of situations during his time in the continent above, so he knew that Third Mo was unsure of who they were and would refuse to admit to his identity. As such, he explained, “We are from the Violet Water Clan. Our tenth bro isn’t actually from our clan, but is a human.”

“A human?” Third Mo immediately starting thinking again. How could a human possibly become the prince of the Violet Water Clan? He had even given them his picture. What could his motive be?

“You don’t have to be suspicious of our motives.” Shui Qing Man said, “We were merely acting under Little Tenth’s request to help you out if you ever encountered any trouble during your time underwater. We have no ill intent.”

“Thank you very much for the Queen’s care. However, you truly have the wrong person. I am not who you think I am.” Third Mo was adamant.

This time, he had come to the Ninth Star Ocean very secretly. There were very few who knew about this, especially so for someone from the Violet Water Clan.

Although he was very grateful for their assistance, the mission he was on this time was too big. He couldn’t put himself in danger.

“Little Tenth is Sima You Yue.” Shui Qing Man said with a smile, satisfied when she saw Third Mo’s shocked expression.

“You Yue?” Third Mo was truly stunned. How did he not know that Sima You Yue had become the tenth prince of the Violet Water Clan?

“Based on your expression, you should know our tenth bro, right?” Wu La Xiu said, “Tenth Bro said that we were to help out a person called Third Mo if we ever saw him. Now tell us, are you Third Mo?”

Third Mo was truly embarrassed as he bowed to Shui Qing Man in greeting, “I had no choice but to keep my identity a secret before knowing who you were. I am truly sorry.”

“Little Tenth told us that you might not admit to your identity if we met you, but that you would understand once we said your name.” Shui Qing Man said.

“Thank you very much for rescuing me.” Third Mo expressed his gratitude once again.

“What are you thanking us for! As Tenth Bros’ friend, you are naturally a friend of the Violet Water Clan.” Wu La Xiu said, “You’re pretty talented aren’t you? You don’t have a bit of human aura at all. If it were not because you looked so much like the picture You Yue gave us, we wouldn’t have cared at all!”

“Alright, Ninth Bro, don’t delay him anymore.” Wu La Er said, “He’s badly injured. We should head to the palace first.”

“That’s right. We can talk back at the palace.” Wu La Xiu said.

“You can eat this pill before we go.” Shui Qing Man took out a pill bottle, “You Yue refined these pills for our clan to eat in order to heal our injuries.”

Third Mo took the pill and it truly was one that humans could eat. He swallowed it without hesitation.

Once the pill landed in his stomach, his internal organs which felt like they were on fire were immediately calmed by a cool wave. He felt a lot more comfortable.

“You’re really lucky. Little Tenth always told us to carry this pill along just in case. If not for it, you would be hard pressed to heal.” Shui Qing Man said.

They were smart people. They could tell that Third Mo’s wounds were a result of not having treated them for a long time. He probably ran out of pills a long time ago.

They brought him back to the clan and the Violet Water Clansmen were incredibly curious when they saw him. Especially Wu La Mai. When he saw Shui Qing Man talking to him, his expression was extremely dark.

He immediately pulled her aside and asked coldly, “Qing Man, who is he?”

“Pfft-” Wu La Xiu saw how jealous his father was being and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Father, he’s Third Mo. He’s the one that Tenth Bro asked us to help if we ever saw him.” Wu La Er explained.

“He’s a human? He doesn’t have the aura of one.” Wu La Mai looked suspiciously at him.

“Greeting, Violet Water King.” Third Mo came in front of Wu La Mai and bowed in greeting, “I used some methods to conceal my human aura.”

“The two of you take care of him.” Wu La Mai didn’t like Third Mo as he pulled Shui Qing Man’s hand and led her out towards the palace. “How was it? Did you meet him? How is Little Tenth? Is he better now? How did he get so injured?”

“You Yue’s injured?” Third Mo heard what Wu La Mai said as he turned to Wu La Xiu.

“Yeah. We went back this time in order to visit him. It’s because they said that he was unconscious the last time they came back, so we went to take a look.” Wu La Xiu said. When he saw how worried Third Mo was, he patted his shoulder, “He’s already fine. He was already conscious when we went to visit him. His mental state has already improved a lot. He even refined a whole bunch of pills for us.”

Third Mo relaxed when he heard that she was already healed, “How did he get injured? Can you fill me in?”

“Sure, let’s go. In any case, Father wants us to take care of you, so we can take the time to chat.” Wu La Xiu led him to the side palace.

After the three had gone to the side palace for a short moment, an alarm suddenly sounded and the entirety of the Violet Water Clan started to be on guard.

“What’s going on?” Third Mo asked

“The eel clan and water dragon clan are attacking us.” Wu La Xiu explained, “You’re still injured, so you should stay here. We’re going out to take a look.”

The brothers rushed out in a hurry and happened to bump into Wu La Mai and Shui Qing Man who were outside.

“Gather the remaining people.” Wu La Mai held the pill that Shui Qing Man had just given him as he ordered the brothers before heading towards the palace with large strides.

Cheng Xiang was already waiting for them outside and knew that they had already returned once he saw Shui Qing Man walking over.

He wondered whether or not they managed to bring back any pills? If they did, then it would be a lot easier the next time round. However, when he thought of how Sima You Yue was injured and that they had gone to pay her a visit, he felt like it wasn’t too possible.

“Cheng Xiang, how are things now?” Wu La Mai asked.

“The third palace of the Eel clan and another palace of the water dragon clan have brought troops along and are now at the borders of our defence. The main palace and second palace troops are currently facing them.” Cheng Xiang reported.

“Cheng Xiang, we brought back quite a few pills with us this time. First send men to take them to Dear Lu.” Shui Qing Man said.

When Cheng Xiang heard her mention the pills, his eyes lit up as he took them and went outside deferentially.

“Should we go over and take a look?” Shui Qing Man asked.

“No need to be anxious. We have already sent the princes over to battle, there is no need to go.” Wu La Mai said, “Dear Lu and the others are enough to deal with them. What I’m worried about is that the water dragon clan has been rapidly developing these few years. They have more experts than we do.”
