"Understood. If there's any need, I won't hesitate." Having lived through both her past and present lives, she no longer plays the hero. As long as the goal is achieved, she doesn't care about the methods.

"Excuse me, may I ask if you have any questions? It seems that you have hostility towards our young master?" After asking this question, Wufeng looked embarrassed.

She can be calm and collected with herself, so why can't she be calm and collected with her master?

"No, you're overthinking it." Mo Lan glanced at Wu Feng, then turned and left.

She simply didn't want to have too much contact with Qin Su; there was no hostility involved.

Back at their residence, Xiong Da and Xiong Er were already waiting, but judging from their expressions, they still hadn't figured it out.

"What, you're not convinced? The cleanup work is just as important." Both of them are hot-tempered and don't know how to think straight.

"Boss, Sister Han Shuang just said that you're preventing us brothers from getting involved because of the Song family, is that right?" Xiong Da asked in a muffled voice. What did the Song family have to do with them? The two families hadn't been in contact for a long time.

"Since you know, why ask so many questions? The Song family is still your maternal grandparents' family. Whether you keep in touch or not, this relationship still exists. And your mother and sister, aren't they living in the Song family? If they find out that you brothers attacked your maternal grandparents' family, your reputation is secondary; your mother and sister will definitely suffer."

Two years ago, after failing to persuade them, Xiong Yanyan returned to the Song family with her men. Although they hadn't been in contact for the past two years, they were still Xiong Da and Xiong Er's close relatives. She had plenty of manpower and didn't need to tarnish her brothers' reputations.

"Boss, you're overthinking it. My dad said a long time ago that once we leave the mountain stronghold, we're no longer family. When Yan Yan left, my dad had her tell her to give those words to Mom. So, we have nothing to do with each other anymore."

The Song family went too far, tearing apart a perfectly good family.

Forget about family ties, there's more resentment than affection.

Mo Lan sighed, stubbornly saying, "Listen to me, I know your abilities. You don't need to do anything this time. You two have been captains for two years now, so you should give your subordinates a chance to learn. Don't always rush in to do everything."

"But..." Song Jian and Da Peng both went up, didn't they?

The bear brothers were unhappy, but they didn't dare disobey their boss's orders. Even though their boss seemed easygoing now, if he got angry, the punishment would be severe.

After the two men left, Han Shuang came over and said, "Boss, judging from the situation, they are all prepared. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely send someone up tonight."

"That's perfect. It's dark and dewy at night, and it's easy to lose your way. Don't worry about getting trapped. Just let the horses in."

Mo Lan smiled. Once you come in during the day, you can't even leave, let alone at night. There are ghostly shadows, people moving about, and wild beasts roaring... She was actually looking forward to watching it live.

After dinner, Mo Lan and Han Shuang found a spot with a great view, bringing along some fruits and vegetables, ready to be complete bystanders.

Looking at the nuts and snacks laid out on the stone platform, Frost twitched her lips. "Master, aren't you going to keep an eye on the array's core?"

“Sit down. With Lei Zi watching, nothing will happen. Besides, since this is a training exercise for them, we shouldn’t interfere too much.” Mo Lan sat cross-legged, elbows on her legs, hands supporting her chin, her line of sight just right.

At half past the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), dark shadows loomed at the foot of the mountain, indicating that someone had climbed up.

"Here it is," Mo Lan tossed an apple to Han Shuang, then grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them open.
