Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

189: Mu Zining persuaded Mo YuBefore long.

Mu Zining left the Time Wheel Emperor Palace, heavy with worry, and arrived outside the room the Gu Clan had arranged for Mo Yu to stay in temporarily.

She stood outside the door for a long time, her heart pounding with anxiety, but finally, she gathered her courage and pushed the door open to enter.

She saw Mo Yu sitting by the window, gazing blankly at the rolling sea of clouds outside.

Hearing the door open, she turned her head. Upon seeing Mu Zining, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face: ”Mother, where have you been these past few days? I couldn’t find you anywhere.”

Looking at her daughter’s innocent smile, the words Mu Zining had on the tip of her tongue just wouldn’t come out.

She walked over to sit beside Mo Yu, took her daughter’s hand, and weighed in her heart how she should bring this up.

”Yu’er.” Mu Zining’s voice was a bit dry, carrying an imperceptible tremor: ”Mother has something to tell you.”

”Mother, go ahead.” Mo Yu replied obediently, not yet sensing that something was wrong.

Mu Zining’s eyes turned red, and she whispered: ”Mother... Mother’s body is no longer pure.”

Mo Yu knitted her brows slightly, puzzled: ”Mother, speak clearly, what do you mean by not pure?”

Mu Zining took a deep breath: ”Just last month, Mother went to find Cao Bu, intending to persuade him to leave Jiu Ling’er; who would have thought that not only did I fail to persuade him, but I ended up getting myself involved instead.”

Mo Yu’s expression changed drastically; she finally understood her mother’s meaning.

”Mother! You mean... Clan Chief Cao bullied you?”

Mu Zining nodded painfully: ”You know the Emperor of Alchemy, right? She has also become Cao Bu’s woman now; it was she who helped Cao Bu restrain Mother, which allowed that beast Cao Bu to succeed!”

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu was instantly furious: ”Mother! Then what are you waiting for? Quickly send a message to Father and have him come to avenge you!”

Mu Zining shook her head bitterly: ”Your father is only at the Great Emperor Fourth Level, and that Emperor of Alchemy is already at the Great Emperor Eighth Level; even if your father came, he would just be throwing his life away.”

”Then what should we do? Are we just going to let Cao Bu bully you? Why don’t you tell the two matriarchs of the Gu Clan about this? They will surely seek justice for you!” Mo Yu said naively.

Mu Zining shook her head again: ”That won’t work; they are the ones backing Cao Bu, so how could they possibly punish Cao Bu for this matter?”

She did not tell Mo Yu directly that the two matriarchs of the Gu Clan had, in fact, already fallen.

Counting on them to do justice? I fear the end result would instead be letting Cao Bu bully me again.

”Then what should we do now? Is there really no way to deal with him?” Mo Yu clenched her fists tightly, hating Cao Bu to the core.

This hypocritical guy, who looked decent on the outside, turned out to be a beast in human clothing!

Mu Zining continued: ”Yu’er, Mother wants to tell you that Cao Bu possesses a treasure that can control people, and this treasure can also accelerate one’s Cultivate, making Immortal Ascension a simple matter.”

”Mother has already been controlled by him and cannot escape; your father will find out about this sooner or later.”

”At that time, Mother will separate from your father; Mother wants to ask you, when that happens, are you willing to follow your father, or follow Mother?”

Mo Yu immediately replied: ”Of course I’ll follow Mother! But... doesn’t that mean we also have to deal with that beast Cao Bu?”

Mu Zining nodded: ”Actually, it’s not just Mother, there’s also Aunt Qingwu, Aunt Zhao Wei, Empress Bingyao... we... we have all decided to follow Cao Bu.”

”Yu’er, Cao Bu carries the mandate of heaven, and his future achievements will be limitless.”

”Mother hopes... hopes that you also...”

The rest of the words were truly difficult for Mu Zining to say, but the meaning could not be clearer.

Mo Yu felt as if struck by lightning, her face instantly turning pale.

Her voice trembled uncontrollably: ”Mother... you... not only yourself... but now you want to push me to him too? Let us both... have you gone crazy?!”

Mu Zining explained: ”Mother hasn’t gone crazy; if we can follow Cao Bu, Immortal Ascension will not be a problem in the future.”

Mo Yu’s voice trembled: ”So the reason you aren’t breaking ties with Cao Bu is because you have your eyes on that Opportunity for Immortal Ascension?”

Mu Zining pursed her lips: ”Yu’er, Mother won’t hide it from you anymore; Mother indeed has her eyes on the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension.”

”Mother is telling you this because I also want you to be able to seize this Opportunity for Immortal Ascension.”

”Think about it carefully; you will have to marry someone in the future, and does it matter who you marry? Why not marry Cao Bu, who can help you achieve Immortal Ascension?”

”And rest assured, Mother... Mother has already tried it for you; after you are together, you will surely have a very pleasant time.”

Mo Yu stared blankly at Mu Zining, feeling as if she were truly meeting her mother for the first time.

Mu Zining continued to persuade: ”Yu’er, Mother won’t force you, but you must think clearly; if you do not seize this Opportunity, others will naturally go and seize it.”

Mo Yu clenched her fists tightly, her heart struggling fiercely.

Not to mention Immortal Ascension, the path to becoming an Emperor alone had already blocked her way.

Just as the atmosphere in the room fell into silence, no one noticed.

Outside the door, Mo Lei was standing there, stiff as a board.

He never imagined that his own mother would abandon the father who loved her deeply, just for an Opportunity for Immortal Ascension.

She was even persuading his sister to do the same!

In this world, such a mother really exists!

An indescribable rage instantly swept through Mo Lei’s entire body; the Qi and blood in his body surged wildly, almost bursting out of his chest.

”Cao Bu! It was one thing for you to take away Jiu Ling’er, but now you won’t even spare my mother and my sister! This is simply going too far!”

Mo Lei’s teeth chattered and clicked, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.

He stared fixedly at that door, but in the end, he chose not to rush in.

He forcibly suppressed the killing intent that was nearly out of control, his figure disappearing silently from the spot, leaving behind only a whisper filled with hatred: ”I hate it so much... I hate why I am not a woman.”

Mu Zining and Mo Yu inside the room were completely unaware of all this.

Mu Zining was still trying to soothe her emotionally agitated daughter, while Mo Yu was completely immersed in the massive shock and betrayal brought by her mother.

A long time passed.

Mu Zining asked again: ”Yu’er, it is time for you to make a decision.”

”If you agree, Mother will take you to see Cao Bu right now.”

”If you do not agree, just pretend Mother never said anything.”

Mo Yu looked at her mother, her eyes reddening: ”Mother, is there really no other way?”

Mu Zining shook her head: ”Mother does not have the ability; it is impossible to escape his control; otherwise, I would not have come to persuade you to join.”

Mo Yu took a deep breath, as if having made up her mind: ”Fine, I will listen to Mother and go with him.”

Hearing this, Mu Zining felt a surge of joy.

Originally, betraying Mo Yu’s father alone had left her feeling somewhat at a loss.

Now that Mo Yu was joining, her psychological burden was significantly lightened.

”Then come with Mother; Mother will take you to see Cao Bu right now.”

As she spoke, she stood up, took Mo Yu’s hand, and rushed towards Cangfeng Residence, where Cao Bu was staying.
