Cloud Chu Spring twitched at the corners of his mouth. Early on, he was held by Chen Mo and his face showed reluctance and swore at a man, so now she snuck into his room secretly and plotted something nefarious. She thought no one would know, but to her surprise, he wasn't sleeping, staring at her with wide eyes.
Yun Chunqiu's approach delighted Chen Mo greatly. Unable to move his body or produce a sound, he could still move his eyes, blinking rapidly, with the frequency of a few blinks per breath.
I've made it so obvious, Auntie, shouldn't you have noticed something is wrong?
However, she still didn't understand.
Yun Chunqiu stepped back a few steps, awkwardly smiled, and quickly covered her face with the veil to hide that splendid countenance, "Cough cough, Chen Junxiu, I was just coming to see if you were asleep. There's no other intention, please don't misunderstand."
After saying that, Yun Chunqiu left the room with a slightly awkward expression.
Sweat
How can there be such a useless teammate?
Chen Mo's heart was deeply grieved, but he saw that the hand on his side once again raised a knife, clearly visible in front of him.
"Not right"
Several steps out of the room, Yun Chunqiu suddenly stopped, her beautiful eyes showing more suspicion. What was Chen Mo blinking for? And, did he believe what she had said?
Whether he believes it or not, he shouldn't remain silent. Must there be some hidden reason for this?
Confused, Yun Chunqiu turned around and pushed the door open without hesitation. It was already late at night, and the room was dark, but as a third-grade martial artist, her ability to see in the dark was beyond ordinary people's capabilities. Even in a place where one couldn't see their hand in front of their face, she could see everything clearly.
A dark hand, a dagger, hanging so prominently in front of Chen Mo's chest.
Seeing this scene, Yun Chunqiu couldn't possibly still not understand what had happened. She waved her hand, and numerous red silk scarves shot out from behind herself, wrapping around the dark hand in a moment. Then they wrapped around Chen Mo on the bed, tightly pulling him out.
ding
As Yun Chunqiu struck, she suddenly felt something was amiss, and her body stiffened in place, unable to move. Fortunately, the red silk was still responsive. In a panic, she threw Chen Mo, who was wrapped in the red silk, out of the room with great force.
Bang
Chen Mo's body smashed the window and fell into the yard. The loud noise startled everyone sleeping, and Ning Xin and Li Yueyue rushed to the yard immediately. The couple, who are easily crushed, hid behind the windows and doors, waiting for their chance to strike.
The moonlight shone on the figure of Chen Mo, who had been thrown out of the room from inside. In the bright light, his body was no longer under someone else's control, and he turned to struggle against the red silk bindings.
Ning Xin and Li Yueyue, who had fallen next to him, held long knives and looked alertly at Chen Mo, "Mr. Chen, what happened?"
"There's an enemy."
Chen Mo's face was dark, his eyes staring fixedly at the room for a moment, but he didn't see Yun Chunqiu move at all. In an instant, he realized that something was wrong and quickly called out, "Sun Qian, you little coward, come out."
"Ah"
The fragile assistant, hearing this, had a tingling sensation on his scalp and awkwardly climbed out of the window, running with a skip to Chen Mo's side.
"Brother Chen, this, I don't think I need to get involved. I, I'm not strong enough either."
"Stop the chatter, where are the firecrackers? Give them all to me."
Chen Mo reached out, and Sun Qian quickly nodded, his space ring containing nothing but a plethora of firecrackers. He promptly took out... one.
Chen Mo turned to glare at him, "Do you want to get beaten?"
"I didn't mean to save more lives, I just wanted to have some extra protection."
Sun Qian was somewhat embarrassed and afraid that Chen Mo would beat him, so he casually took out a thick stack of them. Roughly counting, there were at least a thousand. Chen Mo was shocked in an instant.
"So many?"
"The things that can save life, how can there be too many?"
"You, are indeed quite stable"
Chen Mo's mouth twitched, as he threw a few firecrackers towards the window of the room. The firecrackers ignited, casting a fiery glow that illuminated the entire room. Then, an enormous blaze rose up, filling the entire room with intense flames.
In the next moment, the door was shattered, and Yun Chunqiu emerged awkwardly. Her red dress had a few charred marks, but she was unharmed. She had just been controlled and narrowly escaped being harmed.
Fortunately, Chen Mo acted in time; otherwise, she might have really been in serious trouble inside.
"What is going on?"
Sun Qian was confused. Yun Chunqiu was among the strongest of them, yet she emerged so disheveled. It's not difficult to guess how strong the person inside must be.
"It's a wizard, a night wizard. In the darkness, he can control others. Both Yun Chunqiu and I were under his control. The fire earlier was to disperse the darkness and
Chen Mo explained the current situation in a concise manner, and Yun Chunqiu, who had been somewhat bewildered, immediately woke up.
"All of you have firecrackers ready; they were useful."
Chen Mo distributed the thick stack of firecrackers among Ning Xin, Li Yueyue, and even Yun Chunqiu kept a few for herself. After also preparing a few for herself, she returned the remaining firecrackers to Sun Qian.
Sun Qian took back the firecrackers and quickly turned to beckon to Su Kekan inside the room, "Kekan, come out quickly. It's dark in the room with firecrackers. If you're controlled, it wouldn't be good. Also, take these firecrackers."
Su Kekan cleverly came out of the room and then moved close to Sun Qian, the two of them huddling together.
Chen Mo's eyes were fixed on the raging fire inside the room, and he calmly spat out, "Great Master, you are really patient. You have no reaction at all. Is it that you're addicted to pretending to be dead?"
As the words fell, the surrounding people looked at him in disbelief, "The Great Master? But he wasn't killed, was he?"
During the day, Long Feiyu had come and talked about Miao Tiannan's situation, and they all knew about it. They knew that he had died.
The body was within the palace, and its bones were still cold. How could it possibly be here?
"Haha, I didn't expect, you little brat to be so clever. You guessed it was me."
In the raging fire, Miao Tiannan, dressed in a red long robe, held a wand and walked out of the door step by step, showing a trace of composure and surprise on his face.
"Haha, not many people would want to kill me at this time. You, Miao Tiannan, are a... Although Princess of Heaven, AKA Dragon Empress Tian an said you were dead, I always felt that your second-grade wizardry goes beyond these capabilities. I suspect that you pretended to be dead when you were in the palace."
Chen Mo asked with a smile.
Miao Tiannan nodded slightly and smiled, "That's right. I did indeed pretend to be dead. Miao Fei Wu is also a second-grade witch, and she is quite capable. If I continued to fight her, it would not be easy for me to kill her. Even if I succeeded, I would suffer severe injuries. At that time, the two top figures of the empire would attack together, and I would still not be able to avoid my fate of being killed. It's better to pretend to be dead and keep my life, so that I can still do more things for my master, such as killing you."
"You're a runaway after getting beaten up. Are you sure you have the ability to kill me?"
Chen Mo appeared to be smiling, but in reality, he was thinking cursed words in his heart. Miao Tiannan was after all a second-grade wizard with strong abilities. He didn't have a second-grade person with him either, so this time might be a bit dangerous.
"If it were during the day, I might still be worried that the stinky woman named Long Feiyu would come over. However, now that it's night, it's my domain. Even if she senses danger and comes over, I'm not afraid. Today you will definitely die..."
