As Liu Ruiyan took her seat, Song Xiu's face immediately displayed surprise. He had not expected Chen Mo to actually arrange for Liu Ruiyan to meet him, and even more so, that he had arranged for her to meet Yun Chunqiu at the same time.
High-caliber experts
Song Xiu widened his eyes and secretly gave Chen Mo a thumbs-up, while the latter smiled slightly with a touch of pride.
A sound of "pa" echoed, and Yun Chunqiu raised his eyebrows and said impatiently, "Chen Mo, what do you mean? We agreed to meet alone, why did you bring this woman as well?"
Liu Ruiyan's face also looked unhappy. After a cold huff, she looked angrily and shouted, "If you don't want to see me, why should I want to see you? Master Chen, can't you give an explanation?"
Caught between the two, Chen Mo sighed helplessly, his expression innocent. "This isn't right at all. I clearly told Jiang Dongli to arrange our meetings an hour apart. How could she mess it up like this..."
"Chu"
Outside the inn, Jiang Dongli was about to follow the situation in case the two saintly women got into a fight, and at the same time, as Chen Mo had said, she would intervene if things turned awkward. However, her nose itched and she sneezed.
"Is it getting cold, or is someone spreading bad rumors about me..."
Jiang Dongli furrowed her brow and didn't dwell on it. She leaped onto the top of the inn.
"Ladies, since you have already arrived, it would be somewhat inappropriate to send you back again. After all, we're not asking for any intimate contact. I suggest this: I directly tell you the conclusion."
Chen Mo helped to diffuse the situation. Upon hearing his proposal, both women nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll just go first with Liu Ruiyan..."
A sharp "slap" sound was heard, and before Chen Mo could finish speaking, Yun Chunqiu said with an unpleased expression, "Why tell her first? What's so good about that fox spirit? I'd rather hear it from you first; I don't want to continue staying here with her."
"Alright, then I'll tell you..."
"I refuse"
Liu Ruiyan flew into a rage, pulling at Chen Mo's arm and shouting angrily, "We agreed it would be told to me first, why is she going to be told first? Am I less than her? In terms of figure and appearance, what do I lack compared to her... Haha, still trying to act modestly and cover up her appearance. People who don't know would really think she's that beautiful. All she knows how to do is act pretentiously."
"Liu Ruiyan, you're asking for trouble."
Yun Chunqiu gritted his teeth, opened his silver incisors, and roared angrily.
At this moment, Yun Chunqiu and Liu Ruiyan were like powder kegs, igniting at the slightest spark, arguing fiercely. The people inside the inn were all shocked by the terrifying aura that emanated from the two women's arguments, both intentional and unintentional. They all rushed out of the inn, fearing that they might be caught in the middle if they were late.
Only Song Xiu was staring in disbelief. Earlier, he had already thought that Chen Mo was pretty impressive. Now, he felt that Chen Mo was even more impressive. He managed to make Liu Ruiyan, whom he couldn't have, argue and almost fight with another woman.
Is his charm really this big?
"Stop."
Chen Mo shouted loudly, immediately interrupting the argument between the two, "Ladies, I knew things would turn out like this. That's why, I've already prepared for it."
As he spoke, Chen Mo took out two prepared letters from his pocket. One for each, "This is my suggestion for you. You can take it back and read it at your own pace, so there's no need to consider who comes first."
"Hmph."
The two women simultaneously grabbed Chen Mo's letters and coldly snorted at each other before turning around and silently opening the letters to read them.
Caught between the two, Chen Mo's expression remained calm and mild, speaking in a tone that sounded like a mediator. "Ladies, you are both saintly daughters of Tianmo Sect. Why do you hate each other so much? Regardless of what has happened in the past, you were once comrades-in-arms who fought together and died for each other. Why today should it be any different from that day when you fight to the death?"
Chen Mo's words made the two women pause for a moment, and they neatly placed their letters back in their hands before staring at Chen Mo, acknowledging that he had a point but not opening up to counter his argument.
"I actually know that, on the surface you seem to dislike each other, but in reality, you both care about each other, don't you?"
The two women exchanged a glance with each other, though they did not speak, their hearts had silently agreed with Chen Mo.
"When you were on your southward and northward campaigns, weren't you taking care of each other? If it weren't for each other, perhaps you wouldn't have reached this day... Just take Liu Ruiyan for example. After a major battle, Yun Chunqiu was badly injured. It was her who tirelessly fed you every day..."
The words fell, Yun Chunqiu recalled the past. Indeed, she had received a favor from Liu Ruiyan in the past. Thinking of this, her fierce gaze softened slightly. On the other hand, Liu Ruiyan's face carried a slightly embarrassed smile. She was curious how Chen Mo knew about all this.
"Back then, your sense of taste was compromised, and you needed to drink something with a bit of acidity... She remembered what you had said long ago about how her feet smelled sour, even though many years had passed. So she used to give you her foot bath water every day..."
The sentimental atmosphere suddenly came to an end. Yun Chunqiu's eyes suddenly faltered with emotion. Liu Ruiyan's curiosity immediately turned to horror. As their eyes met, she felt guilty and looked away guiltily.
"Alright, you filthy woman! You actually fed me with your foot bath water when I was weak? I wonder how you could be so kind..."
Yun Chunqiu
She felt queasy for a long time before standing up abruptly, looking ready to confront her opponent in a show of indignation.
Liu Ruiyan felt a bit guilty but managed to compose herself and said firmly, "Who said I had bad-smelling feet? I just wanted you to try and see if I really smell bad..."
"Bastard."
Yun Chunqiu was angry and clenched her fists, ready to start a fight. Seeing this, Chen Mo immediately stood up to block in front of her, "No no no, we are all family here. She only did that for your own good. Remember when she had an eye disease? You took care of her wholeheartedly. She disliked seeing men she couldn't stand, so you added some special ingredients to her medicine so she couldn't open her eyes for over a month..."
"Alright, I said I suddenly couldn't see anything. Turns out it was you this low-lifing woman who did it"
Liu Ruiyan's guilt on her face vanished, and she slammed her hand on the table, standing up as well.
"That's because you yourself said that your eyes are incredibly beautiful, and men can't resist being captivated by them. You also mentioned that you hate seeing men acting**-hearted, so I helped you out..."
Yun Chunqiu also felt a bit guilty, but upon recalling that she had drunk Liu Ruiyan's foot bath water, her anger surged.
Both women were holding their breath, and now, hearing Chen Mo expose each other's secrets, the powder kegs were fully ignited.
Standing to the side, Chen Mo looked on with anxiety, continuously attempting to mediate between the two women. He appeared to be a mediator on the surface, but inside, he couldn't resist the urge to watch their exchange with interest. In the process of attempting to break up the fight, he kept digging into their past, which only served to escalate their anger to an all-time high.
All signs pointed to an impending battle...
