Hearing this, Mo Chen glanced at him. “She asked you to continue as normal.”
“I’m going to get her back. ” There was a glimmer of light in Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s eyes.
He knew she meant to let him do what they had previously agreed to do, but he was uneasy, especially since she was in the land beyond the seas. He was even more concerned about leaving her in such an unfamiliar place.
Mo Chen paused for a moment after hearing the words and asked, “When are you going to leave? I’ll accompany you!”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze gave him a sidelong glance and replied indifferently, “No.”
Mo Chen smiled softly. “It’s necessary if you want to go there. Unless, of course, you do not intend to go.”
“Master, Master.”
The voice of Gray Wolf came from outside. Not long after, Gray Wolf came in, dressed as a beggar. “Master, I heard that Ghost Doctor… uh, Young Master Mo Chen? You’re here too?” Gray Wolf was stunned for a moment when he saw Mo Chen.
“What did you do wrong, Gray Wolf? Why do you wear a beggar’s clothes?” Mo Chen smiled as he looked at him.
“Uh, this is for gaining experience. I’m gaining experience outside!” Gray Wolf shook his head and replied sheepishly. He quickly stood up straight after seeing his master’s tense expression. “Master, there are no casualties at Heavenly Pill Tower. Leng Hua and Du Fan have returned to check on the casualties in the manor first.”
“Withdraw!” Xuanyuan Mo Ze signalled him to leave with a wave of his hand.
“Yes.” Gray Wolf replied. He intended to first change his clothes before returning, so he saluted and retreated.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze was quiet for a moment before asking in a gruff voice, “What is the worst-case scenario if Feng Jiu falls into the hands of those people?” Even though he did not wish to consider the worst, he could not help hearing a glimmer of optimism in Mo Chen’s voice.
Mo Chen stayed silent. After a lengthy pause, he spoke “In fact, I don’t think you should search for her. You should also be aware that Feng Jiu is holding the Aurora Teleportation Device. As long as she finds an opportunity, she can get away from those people. If we go there, it will seem completely pointless.”
He said, looking intently at the frowning Xuanyuan Mo Ze, “What’s more, you should have faith in her. I believe that with her ability and wisdom, she will be able to survive even if she is in danger.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze took a deep breath and sat back slightly after listening to him. As he calmed down, he realised that Feng Jiu meant the same thing.
It’s just that he was still hesitant to leave her to face the situation alone.
The maid entered, served tea to both of them, and then left with a respectful bow.
“Since you are going up the Immortal Ascension Ladder, I must return and talk to my master at some point.” Mo Chen spoke while picking up the teacup and taking a sip.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s eyelids quivered slightly as he glanced at him and said, “I did not ask you to accompany us.”
“Yes, indeed! You did not invite me, but I must also join.”
Mo Chen said, leisurely scraping the tea leaves on the teacup with the lid, “My Master has long since issued orders that my mission is to follow Feng Jiu wherever she goes. Sadly, I have never been able to perform this task competently.”
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze no longer spoke, but instead took a deep breath, sipped some tea, and said, “It is time for you to return! I still need to deal with the manor’s affairs.”
