Ghost Hand, Heavenly Doctor 015: The Truth!

  Looking at his dark and angry face, she raised an eyebrow, sizing him up from head to toe. Suddenly, she leaned in close, sniffing around him like a little dog, then pulled on the half-open collar of his shirt. She suddenly looked up: "Were you the one who lit the big stove last night?"

  He pursed his lips and remained silent, his phoenix-like eyes gazing deeply at her.

  "There's a familiar scent on you." Strange, how did she sense that refreshing and cool breath from the day of poisoning on him?

  "Are you a dog? What smell have you caught?"

  "It's impossible, it's impossible." She shook her head to herself, denying the thought in her mind. At that time, she and he were like fire and water, how could he possibly appear there? And save him? It was clearly Emperor Xuan who saved her at that time, she must have been out of her mind to have such a thought. Suddenly, as if sensing the current posture of the two, she widened her eyes in surprise.

  "How did you get into my bed?"

  He narrowed his phoenix eyes, and suddenly hooked up the corner of his lips, leaning close to her and pressing her against the bed corner. In a low, husky voice, he said slowly: "Let me tell you, I not only climbed onto your bed, but also helped you change the clothes on your body."

  "You, you, you! You're so shameless! You took advantage of me when I was ill and now you dare to speak so boldly!" She was furious, her face red with rage and embarrassment. Although last time she had almost lost control and he had seen everything, that was because of the circumstances, but this time, he had taken advantage of her and still dared to say it out loud, it was infuriating!

  "What nonsense?" Feng's eyes narrowed, deep and ominous: "You don't even know who saved your life, yet you dare say I'm being reckless?" This woman, back then he had risked his life to lure the water leech for her, but she didn't even show a hint of gratitude, instead always opposing him, truly stupid.

  "What?" She was taken aback, unsure what this sentence meant.

  "Do you think it was Emperor Du's ghost who used a leech to help you detoxify in that forest?"

  My heart skipped a beat as I stared at him in stunned silence: "Isn't it?"

  "What? Hmph! I've never seen a woman as stupid as you. You should have died back then, it would have been better for everyone."

  He snorted, silently cursing in his heart. The water was filthy to the extreme, and because he had soaked in it, leeches had sucked onto him, causing his legs to itch and ache for several days after returning. That Emperor Mo was quite good at seizing credit without doing anything, taking advantage of his own efforts to rescue that woman. He thought this matter wasn't worth mentioning, after all, it was he himself who had gone out of his way to save her. However, unexpectedly, she still remembered this matter and even spared Emperor Mo's life because of it on the day of the trial in the arena. If it were him instead, he would have ended Emperor Mo's life with a single sword strike.

  "You, don't tell me it's you?" She stared at the man in front of her with a look of astonishment, who was obviously being awkward.

  But unexpectedly, Mu Chenfeng was too lazy to bother with her, got out of bed by himself, put on his own outer garment and hummed a tune as he walked away.

  Tang Xin was stunned and shouted: "You're leaving like this?" What's going on? She had always thought that the one who helped her get rid of the snake poison was Emperor Mo, but it wasn't him after all?

  "Mother, mother, you're awake!" Fengfeng rushed in and quickly threw herself into her arms, pouting: "Mother, that bad person didn't let me come in to accompany you. That bad person took off your clothes to look at them himself, not letting me see. He also wouldn't let me sleep with you together, but he came over to sleep on the same bed as you. Mother, did he bully you last night?"

  After hearing his words, Tang Xin's mouth twitched, what is this nonsense?

  Xia Xue walked in and looked at her sitting on the bed, revealing a faint smile: "Miss is awake? I've prepared breakfast, Miss, have some!"

  "Hmm." She got out of bed, put on her outer garment and then walked over to sit down at the table.

  "Miss, yesterday's incident has spread throughout the imperial city. Some people who were watching our mansion from outside have retreated, seemingly intimidated by what happened yesterday. Also, Xiang Wuzhi came by earlier and I told him you were still asleep, so he'll come back this afternoon."

  Tang Xin quietly ate her breakfast, listening to Xia Xue's report. These past few days, many people have been eyeing the Tang Manor, thinking it was a fat sheep that could be slaughtered at will. Yesterday, she took action against Su Ruo, on one hand to vent her anger, and on the other hand to intimidate others. She wanted them to know that even if the Tang family only had her left, they were not someone who could be bullied by anyone!

  "The master, a group of people has arrived at the main gate and is knocking on the door." Mo Shan flashed in, his entire body emitting a thick aura of killing intent. His black tight-fitting battle armor wrapped around his robust physique, with a long black cloak hanging down to the ground behind him, sweeping through the air in an elegant arc as he turned upon entering. His blood-red eyes were so intimidating that even during the day, people didn't dare look directly at them, except for Tang Xin and the others.

  "A group of people?" She raised an eyebrow and said to Xia Xue: "Go take a look."

  "Yes." Xia Xue responded and walked out.

  Tang Xin glanced at Mo's armor and suddenly raised the corner of her lips, praising: "Mo, this suit of armor suits you very well."

  Mo Wei was taken aback, and her blood-red eyes flashed: "Thank you, Master." This dress was specially ordered by her for him, and when he received it, he was both surprised and touched.

  "That windbreaker is made of special materials, can prevent attacks, it's just a pity that the fabric is not enough, otherwise I would make one for Ba Xie and the others too, after all, it's safer." She supported her chin with her hand, looking at his handsome face, his blood-red eyes were his distinctive feature. Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she asked again: "By the way, I was researching a potion recently that can change your eye color to ordinary black, when it's done, I'll give it to you to try, maybe you'll need it in the future."

  "Yes." He replied respectfully.

  "Alright, go!" She waved her hand and he hid again, disappearing without a trace.

  In front of the gate, Xia Xue wore a beautiful face, looking at the line of people in front of her, her eyes fell on the middle-aged man who was leading them, and she said coldly: "I've already said it, my family's young lady doesn't see guests!"

  "Miss, my master wants to meet your young lady. It's a great honor for her, you know? My master is very famous in the Jianghu, and it won't be good for you if he gets angry!" The middle-aged man with an eight-character mustache raised his chin slightly and looked at her with a threatening tone.

  Xia Xue sneered, reaching out to close the door, but unexpectedly, that person stretched out a foot to block it and suddenly leaned in. She was enraged, and the soft sword at her waist swished out with a "whoosh", only to see a cold light flash by, accompanied by a pained cry and a shocked exclamation.

  "Psst! Ah!"

  The icy cold sword was pressed against the man's throat, she stepped closer step by step, her voice carrying a chilling intent to kill: "Not leaving? Then leave your life behind!" Her eyes turned cold, and the sword in her hand swept across, but the man begged for mercy repeatedly.

  "Spare my life, spare my life! I'm leaving, I'll leave right away!" The man's clothes had a deep gash in them, and blood was dripping down his sleeve. His trembling body showed the fear in his heart, and between his legs, a wet patch appeared, emitting a strong smell of urine that made Xia Xue wrinkle her brow in distaste. She lifted her foot to kick him away: "Get out! If you dare come again, I'll make sure you never return!"

  "Get her, get her up! Seize her!" The man was supported by the people behind him, and as soon as he moved away from Xia Xue's sword tip, he suddenly shouted loudly, letting the guards behind come forward to capture her.

  Xia Xue, who had intended to turn around and leave, saw them charge again, furrowed her brow, and with a swift motion of her sword, a sharp blade of air shot out, forcing those people to retreat in succession, not daring to advance again.

  Is this young girl a martial arts master? The middle-aged man with the eight-shaped beard swallowed his saliva, retreated while shouting: "Go back and report to Master, let Master take care of her!"

  Watching them leave, Xia Xue put away the sword in her hand and turned back into the mansion, returning to the courtyard where she told Tang Xin what had just happened.

  Sitting in the courtyard, Tang Xin was drinking tea. Due to getting caught in the rain and having a fever yesterday, she was still feeling lazy today. After hearing Xia Xue's words, she only responded with a faint voice: "I think there will be no shortage of things happening this time, don't mind them. If they really come knocking on our door, then open the gate and let them in." Her voice paused, a hint of cold intent flashed in her clear eyes, and a sly smile curled up at the corner of her lips as she slowly said: "Let them come in, but not leave."

  Indeed, before long, the group of people came and went again, this time bringing with them a dozen or so men who were all martial arts masters serving as guards. The leader was a robust man with a fierce appearance, thick eyebrows and big ears, exuding an aura of ferocity. As they marched towards the Prime Minister's residence with such momentum, they attracted the attention of many people in the Imperial City, including ordinary citizens, members of various families, and some wandering martial arts experts who were curious about the commotion and followed them to the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence.

  "Come on! Kick open this big gate!" The leading man shouted loudly, and a guard behind him stepped forward quickly, lifted his foot, but before he could kick it out, the gate was already opened from inside.

  A figure in white stood at the door, gazed at the group of people in front of her for a moment, and walked out slowly: "Who are you? Why do you want to capture the Marquis of Xiang?"

  "Hmph! I am Lei Laohu, the renowned name in Jianghu. Today, you've injured my people, and I'm here to settle the score!" He bellowed at the top of his lungs, as if afraid others wouldn't recognize his great name. Looking at Xia Xue's equally beautiful face, a hint of lust flashed in his eyes: "Where's Tang Xin? Is she hiding inside, too ashamed to come out?"

  A glimmer of murderous intent flashed across Xia Xue's eyes as she glanced at the dozen or so people in front of her, then looked at the crowd standing several meters behind them watching the commotion. "Do you really think you can just come and have a chat with my family's young lady?" she asked. "Aren't you afraid that once you enter, you won't be able to leave?"

  "Haha! What a joke! Who doesn't know that Tang Xin is just an ordinary woman without any martial arts skills? Now the Prime Minister's residence only has you two left, are you going to eat us up? Or do you think we can't even handle you two little girls?"

  Xia Xue sneered, "Since that's the case, then please come in! My young mistress said that guests are to be welcomed and must be invited into the manor." She swept a glance at the crowd of onlookers behind her and shouted, "Does anyone else want to come in? If so, you might as well all come together, lest you disturb us every other day."

  Many people who were eager to try, upon hearing her words, wanted to step forward. She said it was fine to go in and take a look, but just as they took their first step, her voice rang out again. Upon hearing her words, they involuntarily halted their footsteps, not daring to take another step forward.

  "But I'll say this first, those who can enter may not necessarily be able to exit." Xia Xue watched as the expressions on their faces changed again and again, and the people who had originally taken a step forward also stopped in their tracks, casting a cold glance before turning around and walking back.

  "What does she mean by that?" someone asked with a start, withdrawing the foot they had just stepped out with, feeling like something was off.

  "Can one enter but not exit? Isn't the Xiang household now left with only her and Tang Xin?"

  A person behind them glanced at them and said, "I advise you not to have any ideas. This Tang Xin is not an ordinary person. You should know that even Su Jia's Ruo Ruoshui was defeated by her hands. Moreover, Tang Xin ruined Su Ruo's appearance and tore her clothes on the spot, making her lose face in front of everyone. Even the master of the Su family didn't dare to provoke Tang Xin. As you can imagine, this Tang Xin is not someone to be trifled with."

  "It's just that, although the Tang family is no longer as powerful as it once was and only has Tang Xin left, there isn't anyone who dares to underestimate her. Think about it, how many people can win against the master of the number one estate in the land without using force? How many people dare to ruin Su Ruo's appearance right in front of the Su family's master? And how many people dare to make bold statements and threats, saying that if the young master of the Su family dares to lay a hand on her, she'll cripple him?"

  Listening to the words of the people around, those who had just thought of stepping forward couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Indeed! Tang Xin was a peculiar existence, even if she didn't have any martial arts skills, even if the Tang family only had her left, no one dared to underestimate her.

  "Ah..."

  Just then, a shrill and sharp scream came from inside the mansion, causing everyone to be shocked and amazed. Some people were about to jump up onto the wall to take a look when the screaming suddenly stopped after just a moment, leaving everyone stunned by its suddenness.

  "What's going on?"

  At this time, the people outside couldn't have imagined that the group of people who had just entered the Prime Minister's mansion would be killed in a short moment, one by one falling into a pool of blood. Tang Xin sat not far away, quietly watching, watching the ruthless and merciless methods of Ba Sha.

  "Dispose of the body." She gave a faint order, stood up and walked away, not looking at the bloody scene again. Others didn't provoke her, she wouldn't provoke others, but those who didn't know life from death came to her doorstep to seek their own demise, she didn't mind sending them on their way.

  But she didn't expect that at this time, Mu Tianyu would also stretch out his hand towards the Prime Minister's mansion, and towards her...

  The next day, early in the morning, the Xiang Mansion received an uninvited guest. Mu Tianyu came uninvited and sat down in the hall, then asked Xia Xue to go invite Tang Xin out.

  "Miss, he's coming at this time, I'm afraid his intentions are not pure. Miss should be careful." Xia Xue said worriedly, after all, that Mu Tianyu was a Martial Saint-level strongman, completely different from those people before, and couldn't be underestimated.

  "Uh-huh, I know." She responded with a murmur and got up to head outside.

  In the hall, Mu Tianyou sat alone drinking tea. Today, he came by himself, wanting to test her tone and see her intentions. After all, times have changed, now she's left with no one else, if not him, who can she rely on?

  "Here? Sit."

  As Tang Xin walked in with a calm and composed demeanor, Mu Tianyu, who was sitting in the main seat, reversed their roles and gestured for her to take a seat. His sharp eyes, filled with a piercing gaze, remained fixed on her, taking in her stunning beauty and impressive poise, his eyelids narrowing slightly.

  No matter when, her beauty always makes him lose his mind. Looking at her in a simple yet elegant green dress, she still has a unique beauty. Although she doesn't have martial arts skills, her beauty is enough to make him decide to possess her.

  "What is it that the Emperor's carriage has come for?" She didn't make a courtesy and directly walked over to sit down on her seat.

  "Tang Xin, the Tang family now only has you left, and I believe you also know that many people are eyeing the wealth and property of the Xiangfu mansion. Although your abilities are stronger than those of ordinary people, I believe it will be difficult for you to protect this place alone. What I said before still holds true today." His voice paused, his deep and piercing gaze fixed on her as he spoke again: "Follow me into the palace, and I'll grant you the position of Empress."

  She smiled lightly, with a subtle gleam in her clear eyes, and raised them to look at him, saying: "Your Majesty has come today just to say this?"

  "You should be clear, you have no room for refusal."

  Tang Xin smiled lightly: "As the ruler of imperial power, you indeed have this ability. However, wanting me to lower my head? It's not that easy. I've already said it before, your throne is beneath me. If you want to use imperial power to make me submit, then fine, I'm waiting." She provocatively glared at him, ignoring the emperor's aura emanating from him.

  Her repeated insolent words, her arrogant and disdainful attitude, thoroughly enraged him. He suddenly stood up, releasing a powerful aura from his body. His sinister face emitted an intimidating air, and his killing intent burst out in an instant without any hesitation. His large hand swiftly moved to grab Tang Xin's neck, but another figure quickly wrapped its arms around Tang Xin and retreated, simultaneously striking out with a sharp palm wind that sent Mu Tianyu stumbling back several steps.

  "Shameless!"

  Tang Xin stared at Mu Chenfeng, who was embracing her and emitting a cold aura. When did this guy come? However, he seemed to have not noticed her shocked expression. His deep and profound phoenix eyes were currently locked onto Mu Tianyu in front of him with a cold and stern gaze. Although he didn't show any signs of anger, she could clearly feel that he was furious, and it was the kind of fury that was about to erupt.

  "Is it you?"

  Mu Tianyou's eyebrows furrowed as soon as he saw him, his gaze falling on the hand tightly wrapped around Tang Xin's waist. His eyes were gloomy and frightening: "What are you doing here?" One hand covered his chest, where he had just been hit by an unexpected palm wind, which was now aching slightly. Mu Zhenfeng, one of his many sons with the best talent and deepest unpredictable strength, was actually always against him, even wanting to kill him!

  At this thought, a hint of killing intent flashed across his eyes. He was in a high position and noble beyond compare; even if it were his own son who dared to oppose him, the outcome would be nothing but death!

  "If you dare to defy her again, I'll kill you with my own hands!"

  A cold and warning-filled voice came out of Mu Chenfeng's mouth, the killing intent and coldness bursting from his phoenix-like eyes left no doubt that he was not joking, he would really kill him!

  Listening to this murderous and harsh tone, Mu Tianyou looked up and laughed: "Haha!" The laughter stopped abruptly, and a fierce glint shot out of his eyes: "You think you can?"

  In the hall, a vast and overwhelming aura of martial power was released from the two of them, filling the air with a heavy atmosphere that contained the pressure of a strong warrior. The momentum of drawing swords was like a spark about to ignite, as if the release of anger and the eruption of pressure would burst forth at any moment, causing Tang Xin's internal energy to churn and surge, as if it were about to spew out from his chest.

  Once again, she felt her own insignificance, the overwhelming pressure of Wu's powerful force, and if it weren't for the spiritual energy protecting her body, she might not even be able to stand up at this moment. This made her, who wanted to avenge her loved ones, involuntarily doubt herself. Her enemy was a powerful cultivator, could she really fight against him with her current abilities?

  As if sensing Tang Xin's unease, Mu Xunfeng quickly withdrew the aura from his body and blocked the pressure coming from Mu Tianyou for her. He gave Mu Tianyou a cold glance, then looked at Tang Xin with half-lidded eyes, asking, "How are you? Are you alright?"

  Mu Tianyou saw that Tang Xin's face was not right, so he also retracted his breath. Tang Xin, she is a must-have! Before he gets her, he won't let her die! On the contrary, if Mu Chenfeng dares to ruin his good deeds, he will never forgive him!

  "Today, I'll let you off for now, but if there's a next time, humph!" His sharp gaze swept towards Mu Chenfeng, his tone warning, with a clear intent to kill. He glanced at Tang Xin, then turned and strode away with large steps.

  She let out a soft breath, slowly calming the turmoil in her chest, before withdrawing from his embrace and looking up at him: "Falling out with him won't do you any good." Now, half of what he possessed was given to him by him. Mu Tianyou wasn't a softhearted person; on the contrary, he was ruthless and cruel. Even if he were his own son, he could still kill him without hesitation. After all, as the Martial Saint, he had lived for hundreds of years - what did he have to fear from having no descendants?

  At these words, Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as she glanced at her: "Leave first and avoid the storm."

  "Huh?" She raised an eyebrow and looked at him, very surprised that he would say something like that.

  "You once said that there are also cultivators in the Floating Cloud Mountain who want to kill you, and this time Tang Xiang was brutally slaughtered. Since that person's target is you, they will definitely come again. You're just an ordinary person with no martial arts skills, even if your movements are unpredictable and elusive, these are nothing to a cultivator. It would be easy for them to kill you, and now that Mo Tianyu has started making his move, you can't handle it alone. Leaving temporarily is the best solution."

  As she listened to his analysis, her eyes sparkled slightly. That's right, what he said was exactly what she had been thinking about these past few days. The cultivator's strength was not something she could contend with, and even if she wanted to avenge herself now, she didn't have the ability to do so. Since that was the case, the best plan for now was to avoid trouble first, think of ways to increase her own strength. Only by possessing great strength would she no longer fear anyone, and only then could she avenge her parents and fatty brother!

  Just leave...

  She couldn't bear to leave, because this was her home, where she had lived for ten years, where there were ten years of laughter, where the warmth brought by her loved ones who cared and pampered her, the memories here were beautiful, she feared that once she left, she would never be able to come back again...

  "Since your enemy is a cultivator, you must enter the immortal gate and become a cultivator yourself, one who is even stronger than them. Only then can you take revenge and survive." His voice paused slightly, his phoenix eyes gleaming with a deep, mysterious light, his black pupils fixed intently on her: "Find a way to enter the immortal gate! Apart from this path, there's no other way for you to go."

  "What about you? If you provoke Mu Tianyu, he won't let you off." She hadn't originally intended to put Mu Tianyu to death, but he repeatedly offended her, which made her want to kill him. Now this murderous intention was growing stronger by the day! She knew that as long as he was in control of the imperial power on the Dragon Continent, with just one order from him, there would be countless people hunting her down like fish in a river. Therefore, only by pulling him down from his position of imperial power could she truly be at ease.

  "It's not that easy to kill me." He said in a low voice, turning his back, with a faint glint in his eyes: "Besides, I still have things to do here." The pearl inside him couldn't be taken out, and his life was also in danger, his body had been altered by the pearl, and the cold energy was increasing day by day, making it unbearable for his body. Even with the protection of a spiritual instrument now, he could only alleviate the symptoms, but how much longer he could live was unknown.

  It was for this reason that when he first understood his feelings for her, he didn't go after her. A person with limited time left had no right to pursue love or fight for it. He chose to let go and silently protect her, just so he could see her happy. Only, in the end, Emperor Xian of Han was not the right man for her either.

  Tang Xin didn't think much of it, assuming he really had something to do, and said: "I know, I'll leave the Imperial City as soon as possible to avoid the storm, and then think of a way to go to the Tiger's Roar Continent to join a cultivation sect."

  "Uh, if you're going to leave, then do it quickly and quietly. I'm leaving, take good care of yourself." He didn't look back at her again, and stepped out with a steady pace.

  "Mo Chen Feng!" She shouted, glaring at him with some anger as he stopped in his tracks but didn't turn back: "Don't you ask me where I'm going to take shelter? Don't you ask when I'll be back?"

  "Don't tell me where you're going, and don't come back." He said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the front, walking away.

  Tang Xin was shocked, did he just leave like that again? What's wrong with him? She was still thinking of telling him to be careful around Mu Tianyu, but he left so abruptly without even looking back.

  "Master, why didn't you tell her about your physical condition?" The doll moved slightly on his chest, since it followed the master, it had been absorbing the chilly aura from the master's body, and it also knew that the chilly aura was endless. It was precisely because of this that it worried, if things continued like this, the master would die.

  "Even if she said it, she couldn't take out the pearl in my body. The cold air in my body would still exist. Since saying it is useless, what's the difference between saying it and not saying it?"

  "Master, will the master really die? What about the doll if the master dies?" The soft and gentle voice was trembling with worry.

  Upon hearing this, Mu Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of light: "I'll send you to someone else, how about that? That way, you won't have to follow me anymore." It was a spiritual treasure, although it hadn't taken shape yet, but it also had some protective effects. If he gave it to Tang Xin, perhaps in the future, it could help her too. Just as he thought this, he heard an anxious and tearful voice entering his mind.

  "No! Doll only has one master, doll won't follow others. Master, doll made a contract with you, through life and death together, that's why doll won't follow others."

  He remained silent and slowly walked towards the Wang Fu, after a while, he responded: "Mm, then follow me!"

  In the Xiangfu, Tang Xin called out the Eight Evils and Mo. Everyone gathered in the hall, she sat in the main seat, holding a blinking and curious Fengfeng in her arms, while Xiaxue, dressed in white, stood beside her.

  "Get ready, tonight we'll sneak out of the city and head to Du Lin." Du Lin, another place she had a foothold in. People on Longteng Continent had only heard that Guishou Tianyi lived in a place called Du Lin, but no one knew where it was located. The mystery surrounding Du Lin was just like Guishou Tianyi himself - impossible to fathom.

  Everyone present knew except for Mo and Fengfeng, especially the Eight Trigrams, who had been living in the Poison Forest all along.

  "Mother, where is the Poison Forest?" Fengfeng asked curiously.

  "You'll know when you get there, Mother will take you tonight, okay?" She gently tapped his nose and smiled lightly.

  "It's okay, as long as Mother goes, Fengfeng will follow."

  "Ah, Fengfeng is so well-behaved." She kissed his rosy face and looked at the little guy's red cheeks and shy expression. Tang Xin couldn't help but laugh softly: "You little rascal, you can still be shy?"

  "Fengfeng isn't shy at all." He tilted his small face, just about to speak, when he heard someone outside shouting at the door. His brow furrowed instantly: "Mother, that's the voice of that silly person."

  Tang Xin smiled and knew he was talking about Duan Wuzhi. With a nod, Ba Sha and Mo simultaneously flashed and hid, while Xia Xue went to open the door.

  "Tang Xin, Tang Xin, I'm here." Duan Wu Zhi rushed in with a bundle on his back, panting heavily.

  She saw him still carrying his luggage and smiled, asking: "What's wrong with you? Why are you still carrying your luggage? I heard Xiaoxue say you were coming yesterday, but I didn't see you."

  As soon as he heard this, his eyes lit up and he put down his bundle, then walked over to sit down beside her. With a delighted smile, he said: "So you were waiting for me! I was going to come yesterday, but my old man found out and locked me up. I barely managed to escape, so I brought my bundle along, planning to stay with you. This way, I can see you every day and also protect you - killing two birds with one stone, isn't it great?"

  "Are you bringing your luggage here to live with me?" She slightly twitched the corner of her mouth, what's wrong with this guy again? She didn't have the leisure time to play along with him.

  "Yes! Look at me, I've run away from home, if you don't take me in what can I do?"

  "That won't do." She shook her head and said seriously, "Look at the current state of our manor, there's only me and Xiaoxue. You're a grown man, if you move in to live with us, aren't you intentionally trying to get people to gossip? So it's better for you to leave!"

  Upon hearing this, he said with a worried expression: "But what if someone has ill intentions towards you?"

  "You've got a good heart, don't worry! With Xiaoxue here, I'll be safe." She said with a smile, gesturing to Xiaoxue to send him out.

  "Master Duan, our young lady needs to rest now, please leave!"

  "Alright, alright! Tang Xin, you be careful too, I'm going back." He stood up with his bundle in his arms, looking reluctant to leave. After walking a few steps, he turned around and said: "Tang Xin, my father has always forbidden me from coming out to see you. Maybe this time when I go back, he'll lock me up again. But it's okay, once I get out, I'll definitely come visit you again."

  She smiled and responded with a "Hmm, okay, go!" Watching him leave, Tang Xin couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, this endless, alas!

  Night, quietly and silently arrived, in the Tang's mansion, Tang Xin put all the valuable things into her spatial bracelet, it was also at this moment that they knew she had a spiritual instrument. After collecting everything, Xia Xue hugged Fengfeng, Mo Ze took Tang Xin, eight people in front and four people behind protected them, a group of people quietly and silently left the imperial city under the cover of night.

  A figure in a dark attire stood quietly in the night, watching them leave: "They're finally gone..." But why was his heart filled with reluctance? Would they have another chance to meet again tomorrow?

  A lonely figure stood still under the moonlight, the moonbeams casting a mystical hue on his body. He stood quietly, gazing in the direction they had left, until the sky gradually brightened, and he finally turned to leave.

  "What!" Hearing the report, Mu Tianyu slammed his fist and shouted: "The Prime Minister's mansion was emptied overnight?"

  "Yes."

  "Damn it! He actually escaped!" Furious breath spread all over him, he clenched his fists tightly: "Tang Xin! No matter where you run to the ends of the earth, I will definitely catch you! You can't escape my palm!"

  "Execute the arrest warrant! Bring her back!" The gloomy voice gave the order.

  But he didn't expect that the person who was supposed to be easily caught would disappear without a trace after leaving the imperial city, as if evaporated into thin air. He searched for her everywhere but couldn't find any clue, and with each passing day, his anger grew, as if it only needed a spark to erupt.

  "Your Majesty, I have searched all the towns near the Imperial City, but there is still no news of Tang Xin." A guard reported respectfully, but under the terrifying pressure and suppressed anger of Emperor Mu Tianyu, his voice trembled slightly.

  "Trash!" With a flick of his sleeve, a powerful gust of wind suddenly struck, sweeping the guard away and sending him crashing to the ground, where he lay dazed and unconscious.

  A sharp and ferocious gaze, filled with intense anger, he coldly glanced at the guard who had been knocked unconscious, and suddenly thought of the day when Murong Feng appeared in the Xiangfu, his eyes flashing with a severe expression, did Murong Feng know her whereabouts?

  "Come on, prepare the horses! Hurry to Rui Wang's mansion!"

  With a low shout, he brushed his sleeve and strode out, the prey that was about to be caught escaped? That absolutely insulted him, damaging the dignity of the emperor! A mere little woman, dared to ignore his existence, dared to provoke his majesty, he would let her know that the strong, especially the emperor-like strong, is someone she cannot afford to offend! In this world where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, she was weak, destined to become the prey of the strong, without any room for resistance!

  At the same time, in Rui Wang Fu, Mu Chen Feng sighed: "Mother, what are you doing again?"

  "Xuan'er, you don't have to say anything more. Mother will never leave you, no matter what we'll face together. It's just that I've always been a burden to you. If it weren't for the pearl inside your body, you wouldn't be in such a state." As she spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes.

  "My lord, a large group of people and horses have surrounded the Wang Mansion. They claim to be under the orders of His Majesty!" The dark guard appeared in the courtyard like a ghost, reporting respectfully.

  His phoenix eyes flickered slightly, his lip corners curled up, and he sneered coldly: "He finally came after all."

  "Xiao'er..."

  He turned around, held her hand and said: "Mother, you stay here, I'll go out and take a look."

  "It's unnecessary! I'm already here!" A low, menacing voice filled with pressure echoed into the courtyard. Mu Chenfeng supported his mother beside him, his cold face devoid of any emotion, his phoenix-like eyes deep and mysterious, gazing at Mu Tianyou, who had walked in with large strides - his father!

  Upon seeing Mu Tianyou's appearance, the woman who was being supported trembled visibly, her face gradually turning pale as she stared blankly at the man who was both familiar and strange. After all these years, he still looked the same. The person who had once been her most intimate loved one now stood before her, yet...

  With a gloomy face, Mu Tianyu glanced at her, his sharp eyes devoid of any warmth or emotion, moving away from her pale and bloodless face to land on Mu Zhenfeng's body: "Speak! Is Tang Xin being hidden by you?"

  He thought and thought, apart from being hidden by him, Tang Xin had nowhere else to go! With her being a woman with no martial arts skills, carrying a child with her, how could she possibly avoid the city gate guards and leave quietly? And how could she avoid his repeated pursuit? Apart from his help, there was no one else, nor anyone else!

  Looking at that thin and old face, thinking of Tang Xin's stunning appearance, her proud temperament and confident demeanor, he became more determined. He absolutely wouldn't let her go! And he must possess her! Status, he had it, lifespan, he had it, women, naturally also indispensable! Tang Xin, she was destined to be his!

  Mo Chen pursed his lips, signaling his mother to retreat, and drew out a sword with a cold glow, holding it horizontally in front of him. In the midst of this, a fierce killing intent surged forth, and the icy aura around him spread throughout his body as he exerted his martial power, giving off an icy and intimidating air.

  Seeing the unusual chill emanating from his body, Mu Tianyu sneered: "With such a strong cold energy entering your body, you haven't died all these years, your life is indeed tough. Do you want to fight me? Two Mu Zhenfengs are not even my match! If you don't want to die, tell me where Tang Xin is, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

  Phoenix eyes glance, cold light flashes: "Is that so? Then let's see whose sword is sharper!"

  Digression

  Tomorrow, Xiao Mu Zi...
