"Brother"
Xiao Dou Ding pushed open the door of the room and caught sight of Chen Mo sitting inside at a glance. Besides him were Mu Qiuge, and the poison master who wanted to kill him.
Just now, Chen Tian Qiong hurriedly called her over, saying that Chen Mo was in danger of life. Upon hearing this, Xiao Dou Ding put down all the things she was doing and ran over as quickly as possible.
When she saw Chen Mo was safe and sound, the worry on Xiao Dou Ding's face relaxed. She couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh and relax her whole body.
"Brother, you really scared me. You had Chi Tianqiong come to find me and said you were in danger of your life. I thought something had happened to you."
Xiao Dou Ding sat by Chen Mo's side, looking around suspiciously. Only after discovering that he was really okay did she completely relax.
“Chi Tianqiong was right. Just now, I almost died.”
Saying this, Chen Mo turned his head to glance at the motionless figure behind him, then spoke in a calm tone:
"Just now in the Void of Tears, it was him and the four who came to kill me. They almost succeeded."
"What?"
Hearing this, Xiao Dou Ding's anger surged immediately, and she raised her hand to strike him dead with a palm, but Chen Mo intercepted her.
"Don't be fooled by your anger, I brought you here to show you something: who sent him."
After saying this, Chen Mo also gave a look to Mu Qiuge beside him. She nodded slightly and lifted her index finger, a mutant slowly entered the body of the other person.
"Hmph, you won't get any information out of me..."
"You don't have to show off, my mutant insects can not only peek into people's thoughts, but if they are attached, they can even make them speak the truth. Even if you are as hard-boiled as you seem, I want it, you have to speak the truth."
Mu Qiuge said this, her eyes suddenly grew heavy, and the person who was stubborn looked slightly uncomfortable.
"What is your name?"
"I don't... my name is Miao Yunshan."
"Where do you come from?"
"The Poison Den."
When the person who claimed to be Miao Yunshan opened his mouth, Xiao Dou Ding's pupils contracted immediately. "Impossible, I've met everyone in the Poison Den, but I have no memory of you."
"That's because I am the secretely cultivated assassin of the cave. Besides me, there are thirty-one others. The one who just moved with me is one of them."
"Yes, is it that the cave master sent you?"
Xiao Dou Ding's lips trembled slightly, and she stared at Miao Yunshan in disbelief.
"Yes."
Hearing this answer, Xiao Dou Ding felt as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue. Her eyes widened in shock, and her expression was extremely unpleasant.
She didn't want to believe it, dared not believe it either. It turned out that Chen Hong had sent someone to harm Chen Mo. Could it be that Chen Hong was really as manipulative as Chen Mo said?
The facts lay before her eyes, but Xiao Dou Ding still couldn't believe it. She took a few steps forward and grabbed Miao Yunshan's collar, scolding him several times.
"Little Beans, you should be clear-minded."
Chen Mo spoke.
Xiao Dou Ding only became more rational at this point. However, she still held onto Miao Yunshan's collar, "Brother, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. You wait here. I will be back soon."
After speaking, without waiting for Chen Mo's consent, Xiao Dou Ding pulled Miao Yunshan's collar and left the room.
At this moment, her sole purpose was to find Chi Hong and confront him face-to-face.
Bang——
Qi Hong's bedroom was kicked open by Little Bean, who sat inside. Chi Hong took his time, slightly raising his eyes and lifting his gaze with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, Little Bean would knock on the door first and only gently push open the door after obtaining his permission. But today, she was extremely impatient and agitated.
Not only did she not knock on the door, but she entered without manners, which caused Chi Hong to feel a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Qi Hong, I want you to give me an explanation."
Xiao Dou Ding burst in, dragging Miao Yunshan by the collar, and bellowed out.
Now, Qi Hong's face looked even more unpleasant. Little Dou Ding not only didn't call him "Uncle," but she even didn't call the cave master. She called him by his name directly.
'Snap' went Chi Hong, slamming his desk and angrily saying, "You, Chen Yue, have you ever put me, the cave master, in your eyes?"
"My brother is all I have. If you, Chi Hong, harm him, then I will not recognize you as my cave master."
Xiao Dou Ding had no intention of backing down.
Chi Hong's eyes flashed with a hint of malevolence, but he quickly suppressed it, "Little Yue, what do you mean by that? I don't understand."
"Does this person look familiar to you?"
Chen Mo pulled Miao Yunshan by the collar and approached, asking in a tone of voice.
Chi Hong shook his head, "I don't know. I haven't seen him before."
"You can't fool me, he has been poisoned and spilled all the truth. He said, he is an assassin you secretly trained, and you sent him to kill my brother..."
"Slander, this is pure slander. Little Yue, I know how important Chen Mo is to you, I couldn't do such a thing. This must be someone trying to create discord."
"It's impossible. Brother said he had experienced assassination personally, and besides, he has a mutant insect that can make people speak the truth..."
"Brother mentioned experiencing it firsthand, did you witness that with your own eyes?"
"No."
"Does that mean you believe him just because he says so?"
"No, Brother wouldn't lie to me, and besides, there's the truth-telling insect."
"Do you know if this mutant insect is really capable of making people speak the truth?"
"That's..."
"Humph, without proof, you just accused me. Little Yue, you really are..." Then he sighed, "I have known you for how many years now? How could I possibly deceive you on purpose? Make you dislike me intentionally?"
Chi Hong shook his head and looked helpless as he approached. Then he flicked his finger at Miao Yunshan's forehead. No time had passed before a mutant insect was pushed out, and then landed steadily in his palm.
"Take a look and tell me what kind of insect this is?"
Chi Hong spread out his palm and passed it to Little Bean in front of him.
Little Bean had been in contact with mutants since she was a child. Her knowledge of mutants even surpassed Chi Hong's.
"This... is it the obedient insect?"
The obedient insect, as the name suggests, is an insect that makes people act like marionettes, doing whatever someone tells them to do.
"Take a look. This is the evidence you mentioned. Little Yue, Little Yue, you've really disappointed me. Without understanding the situation, you came to accuse me."
Chi Hong gently shook his head, his face filled with sorrow and anger, "I admit that the position I hold in your heart is far less than that of your brother. Do you know how long I have been with you? It is even more than a century, longer than he has."
"Why would you believe a guy you've only known for a month over me, your adoptive father who has been with you for a hundred years?"
"How could a hundred years of time not be enough to prove my character?"
"But, but, I believe that Brother wouldn't lie to me. Since he says it's his own experience, then..."
"Humph, I remember now. I saw someone acting suspiciously in front of my door just now. I thought there must be some conspiracy, you wait a moment, I will come back later."
After speaking, Chi Hong left the bedroom as quickly as a gust of wind. Within fifteen minutes, he returned, bringing a person with him.
Chi Tianqiong
