"Hmm?"
Ji Lianxing raised her head in confusion, her eyes glazed as she looked at Chen Mo, her cheeks flushed. She pouted and said, "You’re finally awake! I’m exhausted. Manzhi even told this is the happiest thing under heaven, what nonsense!"
"Also, can you control this silly cat? She’s always competing with ... Shut up! If you keep this up, you won’t get any more dried fish!"
"Uh-oh, I won’t eat then ow! The master is tastier than dried fish ow!"
"How dare you talk back? Ruined my good ti, I’ll flatten you into a cat pancake!"
"Let go ow! Master, save ow!"
"..."
Chen Mo’s expression was dazed, his eyelids twitching wildly.
He never expected that while he was ditating at ho, he would be invaded by Paper Flying Girl and the silly cat?
And it seems they’ve been here a while, yet he was so absorbed in the Great Dao insights that he didn’t notice at all!
The silly cat could be excused, as her mory was sealed, her mind not fully developed, she usually clings to him, diving into his bed whenever she gets the chance.
But what was up with Ji Lianxing?
When did their relationship beco this close?
Noticing the dust dancing in the air, Chen Mo finally realized, it seed Ji Lianxing must have been influenced by these emotional impurities just like Ye Zi’e was back then.
The power of Seven Emotions was startlingly strong, even a First Grade Grandmaster couldn’t escape its effects...
But that being said, this isn’t an aphrodisiac, it rely amplifies one’s inner obsessions, leading them to act on things they dared not do before.
If Ji Lianxing harbored hostility toward him, she should have taken the chance to strike him down, yet she didn’t, and instead competed with the cat over food, even gearing up for so deep educational pursuit...
Doesn’t this an the woman had been harboring ill-intentions toward him for quite so ti?
Thinking this, Chen Mo asked puzzled, "Ji Lianxing, why did you do this?"
Ji Lianxing was busy tussling with the cat, speaking casually without even raising her head, "Did it because I wanted to, why need so many reasons? If Manzhi and Shuishui can, why can’t I?"
"..."
Chen Mo’s expression grew increasingly odd.
The reason was that simple?
The disciple makes a move, and the master follows suit?
The words "Moon Brilliance Sect" are getting more and more suggestive...
But luckily, he woke up in ti. Had sothing actually happened, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to Saintess Gu.
Suddenly, he sensed sothing, his expression changing slightly.
"Soone’s coming..."
"Is it her?"
Given the current situation, there was no ti to clear Ji Lianxing’s thoughts, he could only hide them first.
Chen Mo activated the Purple Extre Cave Heaven, an invisible magnetic field spread out, enveloping them both, the space beca distorted, their snow-white bodies quietly vanished.
Then quickly tidying up his clothes, he waved his hand, and a sudden breeze dispersed all the white dust completely.
"You two stay put, don’t move around! If discovered, it’ll be troubleso!"
"Mmm mmm..."
...
...
Lin Jingzhu walked along the corridor, heading towards the East Wing.
The hem of her skirt swayed, her steps slow, showing a hint of exhaustion in her brows and eyes.
As the top arrest officer of Six Gates, she was an expert at handling cases, but not good at socializing, especially within circles of noblewon, unable to be as adept as Lady Jin Yun.
If it weren’t for missing Chen Mo, she wouldn’t have co at all today.
Listening to their chit-chat about various gossip, the underlying mutual flattery and rivalry, Lin Jingzhu felt her head swell, struggled to handle it for a while before finding an excuse to escape.
"Southward this ti, the Sky Scale Guard returned long ago, yet Chen Mo hasn’t co back... Auntie said he went to Qing Province to explore a Secret Realm?"
"This Secret Realm in Qing Province made quite a stir, reportedly the largest in three hundred years, the Three Saint Sect and major sects all sent people, it should be quite dangerous inside, wouldn’t he have encountered so accident..."
"No, no way, Chen Mo is extraordinarily skilled, and good fortune accompanies kind people, surely he’ll be safe."
Lin Jingzhu’s mind was chaotic, unable to stop thinking wildly.
During this period, the Empress strictly barred her from contacting Chen Mo, so she didn’t even know when he left the Capital City.
Since Chu Heng died and the turmoil settled in the Capital City, they hadn’t t since, her longing had beco overwhelming.
If not for work being heavy and hard to break free from, she would have gone to Qing Province searching for her beloved long ago.
"No matter, if he doesn’t return by tomorrow, I’ll leave the Capital City, as for the Six Gates duties, I’ll toss them to Shangguan Yunfei."
Lin Jingzhu secretly made up her mind.
Her feet reached the end of the corridor, raising her eyes, she found herself unknowingly at the East Wing.
Chen Mo treated her wounds here back then, and got caught by Shen Zhixia...
Thinking of past scenes, she couldn’t help but smile, stepping to the door, she gently pushed it open and walked in.
The room’s furnishings were still the sa as always, clean and tidy, untouched by any dust, bright sunlight poured through the windows, and vaguely, there seed to be a familiar scent.
"Mr. Chen..."
Lin Jingzhu’s fingers clenched the hem of her clothes, instinctively moving toward the bed.
During this ti she missed Chen Mo, nights tossing and turning, she hardly had a full night’s sleep.
If she could lie on Chen Mo’s bed, rest her head on his pillow, covered by the blanket he once used, it’d be like being held by him, wouldn’t that be a blissful sleep?
As she approached, the scent grew stronger, as if Chen Mo truly was in the room at that mont.
