Chapter 173 The Collapse of Mo Baiye
Mo Baiye cautiously flew towards the Mo Residence and soon came to a halt, looking at the familiar courtyard where he had lived for dozens of years, a strong sense of happiness suddenly surged in his heart.
In the past, when he was poor, he only lived in that small courtyard for cultivating in seclusion. After making some money, he bought all the surrounding houses and, over time, expanded to its current size.
It could be said that this mansion contained all his efforts and his youth.
"Zhang Xuan, I hope you are still there. I have thought of a good excuse that can better prove my identity. Once we meet, I will surely expose your true face..."
His fists clenched, Mo Baiye grew increasingly angry as he thought about it.
No matter how he had explained before, that fool Mo Yi had believed the other person. This time, he remembered an old incident which would definitely confirm his identity and leave the other party speechless.
Then, he could completely unite everyone to execute him.
"Right, there's also that unfilial disciple, Min Jiangtao... I must kill him..."
With a flash in his eyes, he strode towards the mansion, but before he could get near, he was blocked by two guards.
"How dare you!"
Mo Baiye, with his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows: "Don't you even recognize me anymore?"
The two guards shook their heads: "We do not!"
It was then that Mo Baiye realized the two were unfamiliar, probably new guards; he suppressed his anger: "...I am Mo Baiye, and I am the owner of this residence!"
"Mo Baiye? Oh, it's you!"
The guard on the left waved dismissively with a look of contempt: "This place indeed used to be your residence, but it has now been bought by our Wanxiang Sect's leader Qian Yuhuan, and has become Qian Mansion! There's a signboard above; look carefully before you barge in next time..."
Others might fear him for being the Vice Palace Master Mo of the Heaven Mandate Hall and the leader of the Mo Blade Sect, but they of the Wanxiang Sect didn't care, and thus did not speak with any courtesy.
"Bought? Qian Mansion?"
Mo Baiye was dumbfounded, and quickly looked up to indeed find that the signboard on the main entrance had been changed. A surge of anger burst forth from his dantian: "Who decided to sell it?"
"How would I know? Anyway, our old master bought it from the steward Mo Yi; said it was according to your wishes..."
The guard said.
"My wishes..."
His body swayed, Mo Baiye realized something, feeling like coughing up blood.
Zhang Xuan you damn bastard!
And he was to repay double too!
Was this meant to press him to death on the spot?
"Here is the debt note you signed, and the images recorded on the Record Crystal at the time... If you won't admit it, don't blame this old man for being rude!"
Seeing him feign innocence with a constipated expression, Master Shi Yunjing's face darkened, filled with displeasure.
When borrowing the money, he acted like a grandson, but now he knew nothing and pretended what?
Mo Baiye hurriedly opened a pile of debt notes, his eyelids twitching violently.
The handwriting on them was identical to his own. It looked like the imposter had not only mimicked his appearance but also replicated his handwriting exactly.
He activated the Record Crystal, and the scene within emerged before his eyes, showing the entire process of "himself" borrowing money.
"It wasn't me, it was... it was Zhang Xuan..."
He couldn't hold back any longer, his teeth clenched tightly.
"Shut up, do you think we can't recognize whether it's Zhang Xuan or not?" Master Shi Yunjing was truly angry.
He, a respectable Hall Master, had vouched for him and borrowed so much Origin Currency, only for this man to turn around and deny it... It was utterly shameless!
"Hall Master, let's confiscate his residence, manor, and the Mo Blade Sect for now. If he really won't repay, proceed with the auction!"
One of the Fate Masters shouted out.
The reason they dared to lend the money was first because Master Shi Yunjing guaranteed it, and second, this Mo Baiye was thought to be worth a lot; it seemed unlike him to default on his debts. But now, it appeared he truly had no intention of acknowledging them.
"Alright..."
Master Shi Yunjing nodded, about to command a subordinate to do it, when a Fate Master with a pale face approached.
"Hall Master, there's trouble. I just checked, and all of Mo Baiye's assets were sold off at a low price just one day ago... He's now penniless and has nothing left!"
"What, he sold off all his assets? Mo Baiye, I curse your grandmother, if you don't repay the money today, I will kill you..."
An outburst of rage, and a host of Fate Masters closed in.
"All my properties have been sold?"
Mo Baiye's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but roar as well, "Zhang Xuan, I curse your grandmother!"
