1876 All Here
Without waiting for Chu Liuyue to flip over the entire Peach Blossom Dock, trouble had already knocked on their door. That was because the people from the Black Sword Sect arrived. Besides, it was Mo Yun who personally came to the door.
San San was also with him.
Originally, Mo Yun wanted to find out about things from San San, but the latter was very sharp-tongued and could really talk. After beating around the bush, he didn’t even know whether what San San said was true.
In the end, Mo Yun swiftly decided to make a trip himself.
!!His decision was very sudden. When he brought San San to Yue Manor, even the Black Sword Sect subordinates secretly watching the manor were stunned.
But at this point, Mo Yun couldn’t be bothered with these things.
Seeing San San return, the entire Yue Manor was very surprised. The news quickly reached Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu.
The duo immediately understood: the incoming person is an enemy!
“It seems like Mo Yun didn’t receive a satisfactory answer from San San,” muttered Chu Liuyue.
Rong Xiu nodded. “He should be coming for us this time.”
“Us?” Chu Liuyue knitted her brows slightly. When Rong Xiu and I previously acted as servants next to San San, we shouldn’t have revealed any traces. Mo Yun came now… Could it be that he suddenly knows something?
“It seems like we don’t have to spend any effort in disguising ourselves.” Rong Xiu raised his sharp brows slightly. Mo Yun wants to see the real us!
…
The moment Mo Yun stepped into Yue Manor, he found that this place was weird.
There weren’t many people serving in the residence, but there was an indescribable suppressive aura everywhere. Walking here, he kept feeling that he was secretly stared at.
This made him very uncomfortable, and it even confirmed his previous guess. San San’s Yue Manor… indeed contains quite a few secrets!
The two of them came to the living room.
San San was drenched in cold sweat. “I-invite Big Brother and the rest over—”
Before he finished his sentence, a long and tall green figure slowly walked in. “It is really our Yue Manor’s honor to have such esteemed guests coming.”
His voice was light and calm, with a rea.s.suring aura. It was Cen Yi!
San San looked up. When he saw that familiar face, his wildly beating heart became stable immediately. “Big Brother!”
He hurriedly stood up and walked toward Cen Yi.
Actually, he had a lot of things to say, but Mo Yun was behind him currently, so he could only swallow those words first.
“Big Brother, this is the Black Sword Sect’s Deputy Sect Master—Lord Mo Yun! Deputy Sect Master Mo, this is my Big Brother!” San San stood in the middle and briefly introduced the two of them to each other.
Cen Yi lightly nodded toward Mo Yun. “I’m Cen Yi. Greetings, Deputy Sect Master Mo.”
Mo Yun sized up the man in front of him.
He seemed like he was 28 or 29, and he was dressed in green and looked very honest. His pair of narrow eyes were nonchalant with a few hints of distance.
This aura… is indeed something that an ordinary person wouldn’t have. It’s no wonder he can make the scheming San San convinced.
“Boss San, didn’t quite a few people come to your Yue Manor a few days ago? Why is only one person here now?” Mo Yun flicked his clothes and had a faint hint of arrogance on his face. “I personally came over to visit you. Are the few of them not even going to give me this face?”
Just as San San was in a tight spot, Cen Yi lightly spoke. “Wu Yao and the rest are in the backyard. I’ve already informed them to come over. Deputy Sect Master Mo, kindly wait for a while.”
Just as he spoke, someone came from outside.
“Big Brother! There’s an esteemed guest?” The person talking was Wu Yao. He looked like he had just finished training, and his forehead still had sweat.
Yu Jiu was also with him. He was holding a wooden sword.
Cen Yi glanced at him.
Perhaps he was more diligent these few days, but there was obvious damage on Yu Jiu’s wooden sword.
It seems like I have to change it for him later… Cen Yi thought to himself.
“This is the authoritative Black Sword Sect’s Deputy Sect Master Mo.” He raised his hand.
Wu Yao and Yu Jiu immediately understood and greeted him politely. “So it’s Deputy Sect Master Mo! My bad, my bad! We’ve long heard of your name and didn’t expect you to personally come today!”
Not to mention others, but Wu Yao and the rest still knew very clearly what to do at certain times. Their current ident.i.ties were just San San’s friends, so they naturally had to be more respectful in front of Mo Yun.
Mo Yun’s gaze swept past the two of them, and he felt nonchalant.
Compared to the initial Cen Yi, these two weren’t very good.
Not long later, s.h.i.+ Fang came as well.
Mo Yun finally couldn’t help but knit his brows. Why does this person’s pants have soil stains on it?
s.h.i.+ Fang—who had just tidied the garden and was suddenly despised—had a face of innocence. I just want to eat the vegetables I planted myself. Why must this Deputy Sect Master reveal such an expression of contempt?
However, the other party had a distinguished status, so he could only temporarily suppress his indignation.
He glanced at Cen Yi. “Big Brother, Eighth Sister is cultivating in seclusion and won’t be able to come on such short notice.”
Cen Yi nodded in understanding.
When the few people present heard this, they revealed understanding expressions.
They had known Xiao Ba for so long, but they had never heard of her going into seclusion for cultivating. It was most likely because she was angered by Yan Qing and went to soak herself in a bath before sleeping in spite.
The Thirteen Yue Guard knew her temper very clearly and did not find it weird.
Mo Yun originally wanted to ask, but his expression changed suddenly. “This is—”
The person coming in was Thirteen.
San San quickly said, “Thirteen, aren’t you going to greet Deputy Sect Master Mo?”
Thirteen obediently greeted Mo Yun and then stood behind s.h.i.+ Fang.
Mo Yun’s expression paused on him for quite some time. “Boss San, your Thirteenth Brother seems quite talented… If he can enter the Black Sword Sect to cultivate, he will definitely achieve great things in life.”
San San’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that Thirteen was almost s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the people in the Black Sword Sect when he broke through.
Why does Mo Yun also seem very interested in Thirteen? Thirteen is quite talented, but what does this have to do with them?
“…Hehe, thank you for the praise, Deputy Sect Master. It’s his honor to receive your admiration, but Thirteen is still young and has always been following Big Brother the whole time. I’m afraid he won’t get used to it if he goes over.” San San tactfully rejected Mo Yun’s suggestion.
Mo Yun squinted his eyes slightly. San San is a smart person. I have already made it very obvious. Anyone with brains would go with the flow and send him to the Black Sword Sect. So many people in Peach Blossom Dock want to enter the Black Sword Sect but fail. Now that I’ve personally spoken, San San actually rejected me?
San San’s back was already drenched in cold sweat.
However, he didn’t dare and didn’t want to send Thirteen out. Even if he detected Mo Yun’s gaze filled with warning, he still braved himself and chose to reject.
Mo Yun paused and didn’t continue arguing about this matter. He surveyed the surroundings. “Other than Miss Xiao Ba, is everyone here, Boss San?”
