"Chen, Chen Junzi, where is Xiaoyu?"
Suddenly asking questions unexpectedly, Chen Mo was caught off guard.
He twisted his head to look at the other person, and he was greeted with Su Qin's gaze, which was stupid but had a touch of eagerness.
Miao Feiyu's departure made her feel unease, but before leaving, he had said that he would return soon, and then they would be together forever.
Therefore, Su Qin also remembered that sentence, and she looked forward to it every day in the Imperial City, waiting for Miao Feiyu's return.
It had been quite a while since then, and there was still no sign of Miao Feiyu. Instead, Chen Mo arrived, and she couldn't help but worry. She rushed over to inquire.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo's eyes suddenly flickered with a trace of sorrow, but it was quickly concealed.
Chen Mo forced a smile on his face and softly said, "Your little Yu, he has things to take care of and is not back so soon."
Su Qin lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her eyes to stare at Chen Mo, looking serious, "Then when will little Yu come back?"
Chen Mo thought for a moment, and his eyes flickered with a hint of melancholy again, "He... he should take a long time to come back. I... I asked him to help me with something, something big...".
Chen Mo secretly thought for a moment, and had already come up with an excuse to deceive Su Qin. However, as he waited for her question, she instead closed her mouth.
Su Qin stared at Chen Mo for a while without blinking, then made an 'Oh' sound and turned to leave.
Only, in that moment of leaving, her eyes suddenly seemed a little clearer...
Finally, he managed to deceive her... Chen Mo secretly let out a sigh of relief. He had yet to figure out how to explain the death of Miao Feiyu to Su Qin.
Su Qin had suffered severe injuries, and her intelligence level was now comparable to that of a few-year-old child. Chen Mo was afraid she couldn't handle it.
Moreover, before Miao Feiyu's death, he had promised the deceased to take good care of Su Qin. Therefore, Chen Mo did not want to subject her to too much stress.
After Su Qin left, Chen Mo spent a moment chatting with Zhang Long and Fu Bao in the palace before turning out and encountering the two women, Li Wu Xin, who had just returned from the battle.
It could be seen that Liu Wu Xin was full of vitality and his mood had improved quite a bit. He was holding someone in his hand, who could it be but the little bean?
Compared to his spirited demeanor earlier, the little bean now could only be described with the word 'horrific'.
The delicate double ponytails were messed up like a chicken coop, and the tender little face was beaten so red that it looked like two eggs were stuffed in her cheeks. It was so red that it was pitiful to see.
The eyes were red, and there were tear stains above.
Liu Wu Xin grabbed Little Bean by the collar with one hand and pulled her to his back. The little girl was crying and wailing, continuously calling out for her elder sister.
She tried to awaken the sisterly affection in the heart of this high-and-mighty demoness with her sisterly cries, but Liu Wu Xin had no intention of paying any attention to her.
"Brother"
Just as Liu Wu Xin had landed, she saw Chen Mo, and immediately let go of Little Bean, showing a weak appearance.
The little bean, who was thrown aside, had a deep grudge on her face. However, upon hearing the words 'big brother' from Liu Wu Xin's mouth, her eyes lit up instantly. It was as if she had found a lifeline and immediately jumped up, puffing and puffing over to Chen Mo's side, wrapping her small arms tightly around his arm.
"Brother, look at her."
With the lifeline arriving, Little Bean immediately regained her confidence and began to air grievances, publicly exposing Liu Wu Xin's various sins.
Not only did she expose Liu Wu Xin's true face, but she also revealed the truth about her.
What's this about being gentle and likable, acting like a young girl? That's just an act. After hundreds of years, still with a squeaky voice, who does that disgust?
In fact, it was just a female demon with a fearsome reputation... and other words directly pointed out Liu Wu Xin's shortcomings.
Liu Wu Xin, who was listening to this from across the way, was so angry that her silver teeth were grinding with a crackling sound. At this moment, she would have liked nothing more than to rush forward and knock Little Bean unconscious with a single chop.
"Brother, look at this Liu Wu Xin. She's fierce and scary, she doesn't look like a woman at all. Compared to me, I would only feel sorry for you."
Little Bean, who was hugging Chen Mo's arm, pouted and said.
Liu Wu Xin clenched her fists, bit her teeth together, and laughed mockingly, "Little Bean, don't throw stones while living in a glass house. What are you so clean about? You're no different from me; you're just another little demon in the eyes of the world, acting innocent...".
"That's better than you. I'm much more gentle towards my brother."
"Fine, you've grown some backbone, haven't you?"
"Hmph, so you want to hit me now, huh?"
"You think I'm not brave enough to hit you?"
...
The two of them went back and forth with each other, their faces clearly showing resentment. They were like powder kegs, ready to explode at a moment's notice.
Chen Mo listened with some headache, truly worried that the two women would start fighting again, and quickly intervened to try to mediate.
"Enough, all of you stop arguing, we're family..."
Chen Mo changed the subject abruptly, looking at Liu Wu Xin and saying, "Wu Xin, do you know the identity of the enemies who attacked us this time?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Wu Xin's expression also became serious, "The identity of the attackers is enigmatic. I, myself, don't even know who they are."
Liu Wu Xin shook her head slightly, "Although I am not from Zhongzhou, I have encountered many top-grade cultivators at the first-grade level in Zhongzhou. With such power, I estimate that there are no more than one or two people with such abilities. However, this man's tactics are completely unfamiliar to me and have never been seen among the top-grade cultivators of Zhongzhou. He seems to have appeared out of thin air..."
"Means..."
Chen Mo pondered for a moment before saying, "Then tell me, what kind of means does this person have..."
Liu Wu Xin was generous in sharing all the details of her encounter with that man, explaining everything that had happened between them.
"The man's tactics were indeed skillful. Although I defeated him, I couldn't stop him. In the end, he escaped back to Zhongzhou..."
As she spoke, Liu Wu Xin noticed that Chen Mo was deep in thought. Then she revealed a sudden understanding and said, "Brother, do you know the identity of this person?" She raised her eyebrows in curiosity.
Chen Mo nodded slightly, "I have some guesses".
Liu Wu Xin became even more curious, blinking her eyes with a look of intense interest.
It's not true to say that she doesn't wonder. This kind of high-level cultivator is something she has never heard of before, and saying that she doesn't wonder is false.
In Liu Wu Xin's memory, any forces and high-level cultivators that have had grudges with Tian Mo Sect were familiar to her. However, people as powerful as Shangguan Tianhong, she had no memory of at all.
"How should I put it? He's an ancient master."
"What do you mean, 'ancient period'? When exactly was that?"
"About ten thousand years ago"
"One ten thousand years ago, how could such a skilled cultivator..."
"Because, he was under the protection of Zhang Tianlin..."
