Chapter 90: Plan
Translator: Tim Editor: Tehrn
Yun Bing had a beauty sleep. When she woke up, she suddenly thought of something and subconsciously reached out her hand to grab, but it was empty.
He had left. Yun Bing suddenly felt that she had lost something, and even though she knew that Ye Mo was leaving today, she didn't expect to leave without a farewell. However, she found a letter for her beside the bed.
"Sister Bing, thank you for saving my life. I'll come back for you one day, I'm leaving now. Ye Mo."
Reading the words in her hands, Yun Bing suddenly felt relieved. If he said that he would come back for her, he definitely would. Although she didn't have deeper feelings for Ye Mo, she just liked the feeling of staying with him and started wondering if she had been too lonely, but immediately, Yun Bing couldn't help but worry about Ye Mo's safety.
.....
"What? You killed Qian Longtou's only son! No wonder Nan Qing went crazy recently... His people are everywhere, and some had even come to our place, but because our boss didn't say anything, we didn't dare to start fights with them. I really didn't think that the one who had killed Qian Shiping was you," hearing that Ye Mo had killed Qian Shiping, Wu Xueming was very shocked and couldn't calm himself even after a long time.
Wu Xueming was elated after taking control of Huang's position and especially about being able to live forever with Yu Miaodan; however, after hearing Ye Mo's words, he could only be shocked. Who was Qian Longtou? He was someone who had a proper army and was even more powerful than the leaders of some countries.
He could do things however he liked! Could country leaders do that?
And, Qian Longtou only had one son, and everyone knew this. Regardless of the underground society or the government authority, they would all focus on him; however, Ye Mo had actually killed him.
Ye Mo looked very calmly at Wu Xueming. As soon as Wu Xueming showed any signs that he didn't dare to shelter him anymore, he would leave. He would eventually find a place where he could go. The reason he helped Wu Xueming was partly because he wanted Wu Xueming to help him for the time being.
After all, his power was still too low, but as soon as he reached the 3rd stage, even if Qian Longtou didn't come for him, he would look for him. He wasn't someone who could be hunted without consequence. Those who hunted him would eventually be hunted back by him.
"Brother Ye, originally, I was planning to invite you to join Metal River, but now, it seems that this plan is implausible. If you really joined Metal River, this would not only harm you but also Metal River." Wu Xueming had finally calmed down.
Ye Mo nodded. Anyway, even without the incident with Qian Longtou, he still wouldn't join metal river; that life didn't suit him.
After staying silent for a while, Wu Xueming said, "I can help you get a new identity, but you also need to change your face and find a place to hide for a while. This isn't something that can be solved by going overseas."
Ye Mo learned the might of Qian Longtou from Wu Xueming, and since he had killed his only son, as soon as Qian Longtou would learn that he was the killer, only the craziest of revenge awaited him.
Ever since he came here, Ye Mo had never felt such an urge to raise his power. He knew that if he didn't hurry and get stronger, he would be devoured completely based on the things he had done.
Right now, he only had two ways of getting stronger. One was to immediately plant the Silver Heart Grass, and the second was to go look for Purple Heart Vine in the desert, which required luck. Comparatively, the Silver Heart Grass was more reliable; however, it needed two years to mature, and Ye Mo couldn't wait for that long.
If he didn't reach the 3rd stage as quick as possible, perhaps his body would have disappeared after two years.
He had made up his mind, he would find a proper place first and plant the Silver Heart Grass, then, he would immediately go to the desert. Both of these things couldn't wait.
When he reached the 3rd stage of Chi Gathering, he would personally greet this Qian Longtou and tell him in front of his face that he killed his son. But what could Qian Longtou do? This hunt made him extremely annoyed. Whether it was the Song Family or Nan Qing, he felt extremely unhappy. After all, he was a cultivator, but he was hunted by mortals and had no choice but to run. This wasn't something he could accept.
However, Wu Xueming didn't disappoint him, he really was a good friend he could depend on. Although he knew that hiding Ye Mo's identity might cause a lot of trouble for him in the future, Wu Xueming still didn't hesitate at all. Without Ye Mo, he would've been long dead, so he didn't even tell Yu Miaodan about Ye Mo's identity.
Wu Xueming helped Ye Mo create a new identity. The name was Mo Ye, and in order to prevent recognition, Ye Mo drew a mark on his face; it looked a bit ugly, but the image on the passport had this mark.
He was forced to do this because Nan Qing's power was too great and seeped into almost every hole. Meanwhile, Ye Mo still wanted to find a stable place to grow his Silver Heart Grass and didn't want to be discovered while he was planting it; that was too important to him.
The weather in Jing City was too cold which wasn't suitable for growing a Silver Heart Grass, and besides, it was easy to catch attention staying directly there. Ye Mo took out some of the soil from his house he had grabbed before and asked Wu Xueming to help him get it analyzed. The results showed that parts of the southern cities were fine, but not all of them, while most of the northern cities and other places couldn't support the growth of a Silver Heart Grass.
At last, Ye Mo finally decided and picked Luo Cang in the Jiang Nan Province which was neighboring Shanghai, one of the big city with almost 5 million in population.
The reason Ye Mo chose Luo Cang this time was irrelevant to Chi Wanqing. It was because the earth there had the most similarities to the earth he brought for analysis, and also, pretty much all the underground world was governed by Metal River under Wu Xueming. Another reason was that there was a flight straight to Dakumile, and from there, he could go straight to the desert.
A week later, Ye Mo left Jing City for Luo Cang with his new identity. Although Wu Xueming had a lot of power in Jing City, Ye Mo still chose to take the train as he didn't want to raise a sliver of suspicion toward him. It wasn't because he was scared, but because his time was really short, and he didn't have the time to fight with these people.
Ye Mo chose a compartment seat since he didn't take the money Wu Xueming gave to him. For Ye Mo, he helped Wu Xueming and Wu Xueming helped him, so the two were friends now but just friends. If he took Wu Xueming's money, he would feel that he owed him and didn't like that feeling. Besides, Ye Mo had still around 50 thousand dollars in his bag.
There wasn't a direct train from Jing City to Luo Cang, so Ye Mo took the train to Zheng state first and changed train from there to Luo Cang.
When Ye Mo got on the train, his compartment wasn't full; only two people including him. It was a woman in her 40's, she looked astute but was obviously tired as she didn't even say a word before falling asleep.
Ye Mo thought that this woman was too careless. No matter how tired she was, she had to at least stay alerted since there might be some thieves on the train
However, there was only Ye Mo and her now. Of course, Ye Mo wouldn't stoop so low as to steal from a woman. Even if she had a million USD on her, he wouldn't even look at it. He found a seat and closed his eyes to meditate. At the same time, he thought about how to settle down once he arrived at Luo Cang and wondered if he should find a job first or rent a house.Chapter 91: So What If You Steal It

Ye Mo was sure that when he arrived at Luo Cang, he would need to find a proper place to grow his Silver Heart Grass, and until it was fully grown, he would not only waste time but also raise suspicion if he watched it germinate every day. Besides, although he had tens of thousands of dollars, that money would be gone soon enough as he would buy food and medicine.
When the train arrived at the Shen Yang Station, another two people came in and, the four people compartment was filled immediately.
One of them was a middle-aged man in his 30s with a black bag in his hands. He had very dodgy eyes as he scanned the compartment and noticed the woman sleeping, so he smiled and greeted Ye Mo, "Hello, I'm Jin Jibing, and I'm going to Beijing, how should I call you, friend?"
"Mo Ye," Ye Mo's words were very simple as he didn't really like talking to strangers. This was his habit after long years of cultivation. Also, he didn't particularly like Jin Jibing's dodgy eyes.
At this moment, the woman in her 40s also woke up and sat on the bed. Jin Jibing seemed to feel that Ye Mo didn't like to talk much, so he immediately greeted the woman.
After a little nap, this woman became more spirited. However, she was quite talkative, and soon they started to talk about everything. Ye Mo heard that this woman was called Wang Yan and was going to Beijing too; however, she had also some business in Shen Yang. He was no longer interested in their conversation and looked at the other person who came.
This was a young man in his 20s who was wearing very ordinary clothes, he even had a few patches on his pants meaning that his economic condition wasn't too good. Ye Mo didn't know why he would buy a bed ticket.
However, this youth seemed scared of something, and once he came in, he went to his bed and no longer talked. He just clutched his bag tightly. Seeing his vigilant attitude, Yr Mo thought that he was more experienced than that woman in her 40s.
"Little brother, do you have gold in your bag. Haha, I see you're very alert. It's okay, we're all strangers, but you just need to be careful, there is no need to hug your bag this tightly," Jin Jibing talked with the woman for a while and suddenly looked at that innocent youth, joking with him.
"No, no gold, just some tools to cure illness..." this innocent youth didn't seem to expect that someone would talk to him and immediately stuttered.
"Oh, I didn't know you were a doctor, excuse my rudeness before, what's your surname?" seeing the youth's anxiety, Jin Jibing asked once again; however, his tone wasn't contemptuous.
"I'm Yu Erhu, my medical skills were passed down from my ancestors..." the anxiousness in Yu Erhu's tone was still obvious, showing that it was his first time leaving his home.
"Uh... I really couldn't tell you were a doctor, where do you plan to go?" Wang Yan's tone was obviously suspicious toward Yu Erhu being a doctor; however, she wasn't straightforward about it.
Yu Erhu blushed more after being asked like that by Wang Yan, he mumbled, "I got a ticket to Zheng State, so I'm going there to have a look."
Ye Mo had already understood that this Yu Erhu had never left home before and probably didn't even know where he got the ticket to Zheng State.
Although he didn't know what Yu Erhu's medical skills were like, he could imagine that he definitely wouldn't be able to survive properly there. Perhaps, he may even end up begging in the streets.
However, Yu Erhu gave Ye Mo a good idea. If he started a clinic in Luo Cang and hired this innocent and honest looking Yu Erhu to help, he would have time to cultivate and grow his Silver Heart Grass. The most important point was that when he left Luo Cang, Yu Erhu would be able to look after it.
Hearing Yu Erhu's words, both Jin Jibing and Wang Yan obviously didn't believe him, so they quickly lost interest in him; however, Ye Mo's interest for Yu Erhu had picked.
Seeing that Ye Mo chatted a bit with Yu Erhu before he stopped and closed his eyes to sleep, Yu Jibing suddenly took out a magazine from his bag and a pair of glasses.
However, Ye Mo was alert. When this Jin Jibing walked in, the way his eyes moved around didn't seem like he was short sighted. What would he take out glasses for now?
Ye Mo closed his eyes and didn't pay attention to him anymore, but he kept his spirit sense scanning Jin Jibing constantly. After not long, Jin Jibing no longer looked at the magazine and scanned his eyes toward Ye Mo and Wang Yan's bags.
When he looked toward Ye Mo's bag, there seemed to be joy on his face. Of course, Ye Mo knew that he had tens of thousands of dollars in his bag, and with Jin Jibing showing such complexion, it meant that he had realized what was in his bag. Ye Mo was quite surprised, how did he know he had money in his bag? Did he have spirit sense too?
But soon, Ye Mo figure it out that Jin Jibing didn't have spirit sense, but there was definitely something with his glasses. It was probably some infrared scanner or something that allowed him to see through things.
It was already 10 pm at night, and Ye Mo pretended to be sleeping. He wanted to know who's bag Jin Jibing would try to steal first. However, he thought that he might probably be his target first because he had the most cash. If only he had a storage ring, he wouldn't have so much trouble...
As expected, Jin Jibing brought his bag over to Ye Mo's side not long after Ye Mo fell asleep. He reached out his hand and opened his bag stuffing all the cash inside his bag.
Ye Mo sneered and didn't stop him. He knew that these thieves would take everything. He didn't need to get angry. He just used the blanket to cover his hands and at the same time took back the money Jin Jibing stole from him. Then, he also took everything other than Jin Jibing's clothes from his bag. He had spirit sense, so it was as clear as using his eyes.
Yu Erhu had fallen asleep already, but Wang Yan had obviously noticed Jin Jibing's movement. However, Jin Jibing turned around and glared at her. She was so frightened that she immediately held her mouth with her hands, not daring to make a noise.
At this time, the horn sounded, they had arrived at a station. Jin Jibing had already taken everything and grabbed the bag as he was ready to leave. At this moment, a girl in her 20's walked past the compartment and saw Jin Jibing's movement. She immediately knew that he was a thief but more importantly, the victim was still asleep.
The girl saw the thief and immediately yelled, yet Jin Jibing grabbed his bag and didn't care if other people found out as he dashed out of the carriage of the train.
"Argh, that thief stole your things, and you're still sleeping!" This girl saw Jin Jibing run away and was sure that Ye Mo's possession had been stolen, so she reminded Ye Mo loudly.
Ye Mo opened his eyes and saw this extremely worried girl and realized that she was a student. No wonder she had such a sense of justice. Seeing that other people were worried about him, he had no choice but to smile and say, "I actually don't have much in my bag, so it doesn't matter if he steals it."
"You... sigh, you should call the police immediately! I'll help you with that." This girl was really warm-hearted.
Ye Mo thought that the people he didn't want to deal with the most now was the police, so he quickly waved his hand: "Don't mind about this, I really don't have much, there's no need to call the police but still, thank you."
This girl saw that Ye Mo really didn't want to call the police, so she shook her head helplessly and crossed the carriage.
Seeing this girl leave, Ye Mo immediately stuffed everything in the bag. Originally, he had 50 thousand dollars, but now he had 20 thousand extra. Other than this, there were also some miscellaneous things and a large stack of identity documents. Ye Mo stuffed them all in his bag.
Although she didn't see Ye Mo steal everything back, Wang Yan saw with her own eyes Jin Jibing take a few notes from Ye Mo's bag, but this young man said there wasn't anything in his bag. Obviously, he didn't believe that he had his things stolen, and she couldn't help but shake her head.
