Hong Kong General Assembly began to practice

"Mao...Maoshan...the...current...leadership...of the sect!!"

Ma Xiaoling stared at Li Moxie in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She knew exactly what Maoshan was. Although back in the mainland, there was a saying that Maoshan was in the south and Mashan in the north, the Mao in Maoshan was not actually the Mao in Maoshan, but the Mao in Mao Xiaofang.

Back then, He Yingqiu's ancestor Mao Xiaofang and their Ma family's predecessors were so famous in the fantasy world that people made a comparison between the two families.

However, as the story spread from person to person, it became known as "Southern Maoshan and Northern Mashan," equating the exorcist dragon clan's disguise with the Southern Maoshan sect.

Although this was somewhat of a compliment to the Ma family, it also made them feel a little awkward.

Although the Ma family has the Ma Family Divine Dragon protecting them, they are still worlds apart from the orthodox Maoshan sect. The foundation of Maoshan is something the Ma family simply cannot compete with.

The magical powers of the Ma family are passed down from generation to generation, with each generation passing on their powers to the next before passing away.

They only know the most basic exorcism and demon-slaying techniques, and their only ultimate move is to summon the Ma family's guardian dragon.

Take Ma Xiaoling for example. Most of her skills were learned from Uncle Qiu. The same is true for Ma Danna, whose magic also bears the influence of the Fuxi Hall.

It can be said that the Ma family and Maoshan still have an inextricable relationship, so Ma Xiaoling was still a little scared when she met the true leader of Maoshan, especially when she heard that he was the current leader of the sect, her heart skipped a beat.

Although she found it hard to believe, the other party's seemingly miraculous protective charm made her more inclined to believe him.

Seeing her surprised expression, Li Moxie smiled, then without further ado, he took out the sect leader's token and handed it to Ma Xiaoling, saying:

"Look, the sect leader's token is here!"

Upon seeing the sect leader's token, Ma Xiaoling almost knelt down, but the reputation of the Ma family of the Exorcist Dragon Clan kept her from making the impulse.

Although the Ma family had formed many connections with Maoshan because of Master Mao, they still had their own pride. If they knelt down, it would be as if the Ma family of the Exorcist Dragon Clan had become the Ma family of Maoshan. So even though she respected Maoshan, she could not kneel down directly.

Ma Xiaoling could only bow to the sect leader's command.

However, before she could even bend down, she felt an invisible force binding her, rendering her unable to move.

Just as she was filled with horror, she heard Li Moxie's voice ring out leisurely.

"Alright, I know that your Ma family has learned a lot of our Maoshan techniques because of the Fuxi Hall. However, this was all tacitly approved by the former sect leader and ancestors. The women of the Ma family uphold righteousness and ward off evil, which is the same as our Maoshan doctrine. So, in fact, Master Mao consulted with the ancestral court and obtained the sect leader's consent before teaching your Ma family some techniques."

“When your Ma family used Maoshan magic to exorcise ghosts and subdue demons, our Maoshan also gained a lot of merit, so you don’t need to feel that the Ma family owes Maoshan anything.”

"So you don't need to be too reserved. Besides, due to some reasons, I'm the only one left who is orthodox in Maoshan now. Let's just forget about those outdated rules. As they say in the mainland, we have new people, new things, and a new country now, so there's no need for those formalities."

Hearing Li Moxie's words, Ma Xiaoling was also very surprised. It could be said that these few words shocked her.

It turns out that the connection between my ancestors and Fuxi Hall was recognized by the Maoshan ancestral temple. But what does it mean that he is the only legitimate one left in Maoshan today? What about new people, new things, and new country? How can a great sect like Maoshan just disappear like this?

However, when Ma Xiaoling thought about the current situation in the North, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Nowadays, the North has become a forbidden land for some demons and monsters. Under the torrent of red, the ghosts there have been directly killed by the national fortune.

Leaving aside demons and monsters, even the judges of the underworld don't dare to go north to collect souls. They rely on the reincarnation force of the underworld to directly draw souls into the underworld. Even if someone wants to linger, they don't have the guts.

Therefore, mainland China can be considered one of the few remaining pristine places on this planet.

In that case, Maoshan's existence does seem to become less important. However, thinking of this, Ma Xiaoling couldn't help but feel a little lonely. Such a large righteous sect just disappeared like that, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

What about the Ma family? If Jiang Chen is eliminated by them in the future, will the Ma family also gradually disappear into the long river of history?

She shook off her thoughts. If that were really the case, she would laugh herself to death in her dreams. After all, the women of the Ma family now have to bear so much. Even if she is strong, she will still feel tired.

Her extravagant spending isn't driven by genuine interest, but rather by another way she relieves stress. Only when she's constantly buying things and has financial constraints can she be more motivated to fulfill her responsibilities while supporting herself.

On the other side, Wang Zhenzhen and Ouyang Jiajia were also quite shocked by Li Moxie and Ma Xiaoling's actions.

Seeing their expressions, Li Moxie explained his own identity and Ma Xiaoling's identity to them. In Li Moxie's opinion, there was no need to hide these things at all, because there were many demons and monsters in this world. Rather than hiding them and letting them be harassed by those ghosts in their ignorance, it was better to tell them openly.

Ma Xiaoling originally wanted to salvage the situation and find an excuse for herself, but she didn't expect Li Moxie to so openly reveal their identities.

Seeing her awkward manner, Li Moxie smiled and said:

“I know you don’t want Jiajia and Zhenzhen to know your identity in order to protect them and let them know the true nature of this world too early, but I don’t think there’s any need to hide it in this situation.”

"Putting everything else aside, on average, at least one or two people in Hong Kong encounter ghosts every day. So, given the current situation, there's no need to hide it. Besides, if they had known about these things beforehand, they could have been more vigilant."

After speaking, Li Moxie took out two jade pendants and handed them to Ouyang Jiajia and Wang Zhenzhen, then said with a smile:

"Actually, I prepared amulets for you two a long time ago, but I thought that if I gave them to you directly, you might misunderstand, so I planned to give them to you on your birthdays. Now that you know about these things, you can just accept them."

"I specially crafted this jade pendant. It can not only ward off ghosts and evil spirits, but also block ten fatal attacks in a row. Moreover, there is no need to worry when the number of attacks is used up. This jade pendant will absorb spiritual energy and automatically replenish itself once a week."

Upon hearing Li Moxie's words, Ouyang Jiajia quickly waved her hand and said:

"No, Moye, from what you just said, I know this thing is extremely valuable."

"How about this: I'll just buy from you! Consider it my patronage of your business!"

"Don't underestimate me. Taking out one or two hundred million is a piece of cake for me."

Ouyang Jiajia said with a proud look on her face.

Upon hearing Ouyang Jiajia's words, Ma Xiaoling looked at Ouyang Jiajia in surprise and said in disbelief:

"Aunt Jiajia! I never imagined you were a hidden millionaire in my life!"

After saying that, Ma Xiaoling stepped forward and hugged Ouyang Jiajia's arm, saying in a coquettish tone:

"Aunt Jiajia, do you need another daughter? How about I be your daughter?"

Hearing Ma Xiaoling's words, everyone smiled knowingly. No one thought that Ma Xiaoling was really just fooling around for money. Judging from her appearance, they knew that she was relieving the embarrassment and unease of having her identity just revealed. Li Moxie could also see that Ma Xiaoling was actually very afraid that Zhenzhen and Ouyang Jiajia would dislike her after her identity was exposed.

However, Ma Xiaoling underestimated these two. Ouyang Jiajia, being perceptive, naturally understood Ma Xiaoling's unease, so she smiled, patted Ma Xiaoling's head, and comforted her, saying:

"Silly child, over the years, I've actually considered you my own daughter. It's just that you're too strong-willed, so sometimes I haven't dared to show it too obviously. If you're really willing, Xiaoling, then I'll accept you as my goddaughter. What do you think?"

Hearing Ouyang Jiajia's words, Ma Xiaoling felt a pang of tenderness in her heart, her eyes immediately turned red, and tears were about to fall, making her look extremely pitiful.

"Aunt Jiajia...I...I...can I really do it?"

Seeing her like this, Ouyang Jiajia was also touched, and quickly hugged Ma Xiaoling, then said gently:

"Of course, if you're willing! You're my goddaughter now."

Wang Zhenzhen, having learned from Li Moxie's words what her best friend was carrying, also stepped forward with tears in her eyes and hugged Ma Xiaoling, saying:

"Xiaoling! From now on, we are family! You will no longer be alone. You can tell us anything that makes you sad or upset. You don't have to bear it all alone."

"Thank you! Thank you, Zhenzhen! Thank you, Jiajia... Thank you, godmother! It's so good to have you all!!"

Ma Xiaoling's voice trembled slightly, making the two of them feel even worse. Li Moxie watched the two of them crying and sobbing, one of them on the verge of tears, and he was both amused and exasperated. He just wanted to give them a talisman, how did it turn into a crying contest?

However, seeing Ma Xiaoling's aggrieved look, as if she was about to cry, Li Moxie sighed.

Women are naturally emotional, but the curse that a woman from the Ma family cannot shed tears for a man made Ma Xiaoling afraid to even cry normally, and she could only endure it, which was quite cruel.

After thinking for a moment, Li Moxie still asked:

"Actually, I can break the curse on you. Do you need me to help you remove the Ma family curse?"

Hearing Li Moxie's words, Ma Xiaoling felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She stared at Li Moxie with wide eyes and said in disbelief:

"Senior Li! Are you telling the truth or not?! You really can break the curse on the Ma family!!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and became dejected, saying:

"Senior Li, please don't joke with me. In fact, our Ma family's ancestors also sought help from Master Fang of Fuxi Hall. Back then, Master Fang's magic had reached a state of perfection, but even he couldn't remove the curse on our ancestors. Now that spiritual energy is scarce, the path of cultivation is even more difficult. How difficult it is to break the curse on our Ma family."

"Moreover, our Ma family's curse has been in place for two thousand years. If it could be broken, our predecessors would have broken it long ago."

Hearing Ma Xiaoling's words, it was clear that this guy didn't believe in his own strength. Li Moxie simply chuckled and said:

"Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't."

"How is it? Do you need me to help you solve it?"

Seeing Li Moxie's nonchalant demeanor, Ma Xiaoling felt a tremor in her heart. She had a vague feeling that what Li Moxie said was probably true, and at the same time, she hoped that Li Moxie was not deceiving her. If so, she could live like a normal person.

"Senior Li... what you said... is it true?"

"If it's true! Please, Senior Li, help me lift the curse!"

After saying this, Ma Xiaoling was about to bow down, but Li Moxie stopped her.

"Alright, I only decided to take action because I saw that the women of the Ma family really have it tough."

"Actually, it's quite simple to lift the curse on your Ma family. It's just that your Ma family's ancestors were wronged and believed they had been betrayed by a man, so they set up this curse. I won't go into details."

"It's simple to break this curse. The first way is to find the ancestor of your Ma family who cast the curse, and then have her let go of her obsession and lift the curse."

“This method is rather troublesome. I would have to explain the whole story to your ancestors. Moreover, your ancestors did indeed wrong them back then. Although clearing up the misunderstanding would solve the problem, I’m too lazy to explain, so I plan to use the simplest method.”

"The source of your Ma family's curse is, in essence, in your bloodline, so we just need to remove the curse from your bloodline."

Hearing Li Moxie's words, Ma Xiaoling swallowed hard. The more Li Moxie said, the more uncertain she felt. Could such a curse really be lifted?

Moreover, this curse is more closely tied to one's bloodline, and bloodline curses are not so easily broken.

However, before Ma Xiaoling could raise any questions, Li Moxie gently tapped Ma Xiaoling's forehead.

A powerful surge of divine soul energy flowed directly into Ma Xiaoling's body. In Li Moxie's view, if this blood curse had been planted by an immortal, he might have had to put in a lot of effort. However, stopping a blood curse planted by someone who wasn't even an immortal and then breaking it was a piece of cake.

Li Moxie's powerful spiritual energy directly located the source of the curse, and then severed the curse with her spiritual energy.
