After subduing Miao Feiyu, Chen Mo and his companions once again set off on their journey. However, this time there were two additional people: a captive and a powerful guardian.
The arrival of punishment indicates that Ye Liangchen had begun targeting Chen Mo with a kill, necessitating heightened vigilance. Along the way, he had Little Bean use bug spells to survey their surroundings and eliminate all those tracking them.
Another day passed before Chen Mo and his companions finally arrived at the courtyard.
Since Chen Mo's death three hundred years ago, Little Bean had temporarily stayed at Xu Changqing's house. She went back only a few times for fear of emotional triggers. When she settled in Miaozhou, she never returned again.
In the past, every time Little Bean returned, she would be moved by the scenery. Whenever she thought of the deceased Chen Mo, her emotions would be a whirlwind of complexity, sorrow, and sadness... The house was still there, but her brother was gone, and thus the family was no more.
As long as her brother was there, whether or not they had a house, home was always there.
With her arms around Chen Mo's arm, Little Bean's adorable face beamed with a sweet smile. "Brother, we're going home, back to our home."
Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, recalling the words he had spoken years ago, and couldn't help but smile. Lifting his other hand, he gently stroked Little Bean's hair, "Yes, we're going home."
After Chen Mo and his companions left, the courtyard was deserted and uninhabited. However, when they pushed open the main door, they saw that one of the rooms' doors were open.
Chen Mo remembered that the door was closed when they left, and Little Bean's keen intuition told him there was someone inside that room, alerting him to their presence.
Hearing this, Chen Mo's expression darkened, and he barked orders, "Who's inside? Come out!"
As soon as Chen Mo's words fell, Pei Jiangnan, Ning Xin, and Li Yueyue all cautiously tightened their grip on their weapons. They had experienced many assassination attempts, and their alertness was high. They were always prepared for battle.
However, when the red figure emerged from the room, Ning Xin and Li Yueyue were startled. "Holy Lady?"
The figure that emerged was none other than Yun Chunspring, who had left a few days ago.
After delivering the letter, she was sent over by Liu Woxin in a disgusted manner to protect Chen Mo's safety. Originally, she was unwilling, as she hated men smelly.
But when she thought that the Emperor seemed to have a liking for things that Chen Mo had touched, she endured her nausea and returned. She pondered in her heart whether, by getting close to him, she could also take this opportunity to become intimate with the Emperor...
Seeing this, Yun Chunspring lit up, hurrying over in a panic. But when she reached the courtyard, she found it empty, with no one in sight. She could only rest well in the room where the Emperor had stayed.
"Is that you?"
Little Bean raised an eyebrow slightly. She knew Yun Chunspring as well; she had been to Liu Wuxin's place earlier and had seen this woman. It seemed she was very concerned about Sister Wuxin, even asking her about her relationship with Sister Wuxin.
Little Bean didn't like it when someone was so arrogant in front of her, so she scolded Yun Chunspring.
Yun Chunspring also noticed Little Bean's presence and raised her eyebrow, her expression a bit unpleasant, "What are you doing here?"
"This is the question that should be asked of you. This is our home, why are you here? And, what are you doing in Brother's room?"
"Brother, room?"
Yun Chunspring was slightly stunned and looked at Little Bean's tightly clasped arm around Chen Mo's arm, immediately guessing who her brother was. Then, her phoenix eyes widened, "Is that your room? Asshole, you lied to me?"
Thinking about the fact that she had been intimately close to the bed covers in the room, then went crazy smelling them... All of these were left by Chen Mo, and she suddenly felt nauseous. Then, she was infuriated and wanted to chop Chen Mo into pieces.
Chen Mo chuckled, "I didn't deceive you. Little Bean likes to sleep with me when she was young, so my room can also be considered hers."
"You..."
Yun Chunspring bit her silver teeth and glared at Chen Mo fiercely, feeling a wave of nausea again. She actually had feelings for a man's bedding...
"You son of a bitch, you're still saying you're not lying to me?"
Yun Chunspring was infuriated and waved her hand in anger. Red silk rippled like a snake, and Little Bean flicked her finger lightly. It didn't take long for Yun Chunspring to collapse on the ground, curled up like Fei Jiangnan the day before, howling in pain.
"Brother, she wants to teach you a lesson. I'll teach her for you, will you be mad at me?"
Little Bean remembered Chen Mo's words and looked at him worriedly.
"Haha, you did the right thing. However, don't go too far. She is, after all, a person with no heart."
"Okay."
Little Bean nodded slightly, although she wanted to scold Yun Chunspring severely, she still deliberately restrained herself.
"Sun Qian and Su Kekan, you two make sure that Gao Tianwolf is properly cared for. Brother Fei, you can just place Miaofei Yu in a random location. With Little Bean's spirit bugs, I believe he won't be able to escape."
After giving some instructions, Chen Mo sat down on the stone bench in the center of the courtyard. Little Bean, who had just given Yun Chunspring a scolding, also came and sat down quickly to his left.
Yun Chunspring had a gloomy expression and looked at Chen Mo with a fierce glare. But suddenly, she noticed Little Bean's fierce gaze, and she immediately became timid. She shrank her body and nodded obediently, eventually sitting down next to Little Bean, feeling humiliated.
Yun Chunspring was of noble status, unlike Ning Xin and Li Yueyue, so they had to stand behind her.
After handling Miaofei Yu, Pei Jiangnan sat down on Chen Mo's right side.
The stone bench was left with only one seat. The shelled duo, Sun Qian and Su Kekan, saw it and Sun Qian sat down directly, while Su Kekan sat on his lap.
Dog couple, showing off your affection in front of so many people, throwing dog food...
"By now, it's a fact that the Grand Master intends to massacred tens of thousands of people in Lin City. With my prestige within the court and Chen Mo's blood gummy and method for locating enemies, I'm confident that we can bring Miao Tiannan to justice..."
Pei Jiangnan thought for a moment, then glanced in the direction of where Miaofei Yu was being detained, "But I don't understand why you would keep that assassin. Are you planning to use him as a witness to completely bring down Miao Tiannan?"
Chen Mo shook his head and chuckled, explaining, "With Pei Jiangnan's reputation, it shouldn't be difficult to bring down Miao Tiannan. As for Miao Fei Yu being caught, there must be other reasons. His curse is very powerful. He can kill someone for me... someone who is very hard to kill."
"Let him kill for you?"
Pei Jiangnan raised an eyebrow, his expression a bit unnatural. "It's not that I'm belittling you, Chen Mo, but Miao Fei Yu is proud and proudful. He's not easy to control. To make him do things for you, it might not be that simple."
Chen Mo's lips curled up, and he smiled slightly. "To subdue him is not difficult. Pei Jiangnan, have you ever heard that a hero cannot pass the beauty's threshold?"
