At this moment, Baili Mingyue was bound hand and foot, lying on her back with her four legs in the air, her face flushed red and her eyes like knives.

Baili Fengyun felt a barrage of sharp, piercing gazes sweeping over him, his heart taking a massive, devastating blow.

Good heavens, Master is terrifying.

Baili Mingyue, unaware of what her silly, clueless bodyguard was imagining, said: "Why aren't you doing anything yet?"

"Oh, oh..." Baili Fengyun came to his senses and swung his sword. "Don't look at what you shouldn't look at."

The rope broke, and the clothes were torn too.

The gentleman, as refined as a bright moon, could no longer contain himself and roared, "Get out!"

"..." Baili Fengyun glanced at him disdainfully, then turned and left.

Let's go then, who's afraid of who? Aren't we all good little brats? If the master doesn't like it, someone else will.

snort!

"puff!"

Baili Mingyue nearly choked to death on a mouthful of blood. Heaven have mercy, whose stupid guard is this? Quickly take him away.

If I hadn't been so stupid back then, how could I have tricked him into following me?

Baili Mingyue, like someone swallowing bitter herbs, sprang to his feet, quickly changed his clothes, and resumed his elegant yet wicked demeanor, as if nothing had happened.

He looked up, his eyes narrowing: "You...you...when did you come in?"

Even with Baili Mingyue's thick skin, she was still startled when she met Mo Qingcheng's ambiguous smile.

"Guess..." Mo Qingcheng's teasing gaze swept over the man, who was unusually embarrassed, and the gloom in her heart vanished: "You're not my talent, so hurry up and do it?"

"Where to?" As clever as Baili Mingyue was, he made a foolish mistake for the first time in his life and blurted out the question without thinking.

“Of course, we should leave this place.” Mo Qingcheng’s teasing gaze vanished. “Grandma Nan… the person you’re looking for, has already left…”

Bai Limingyue was struck dumb, her breath catching in her throat: "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"It's my mother-in-law's request... I'm beholden to her..." Mo Qingcheng glanced at Baili Mingyue with a complicated expression: "No danger to her life, she'll be fully recovered in five years..."

Baili Mingyue quietly looked at Mo Qingcheng, trying to see a trace of a lie in her eyes.

However, the woman's frank gaze almost drove him mad. It was true! He had sensed something last night, but hadn't had a chance to verify it himself...

Why? Why exactly?

"Baili, do you want to kill your mother-in-law?" Mo Qingcheng rolled her eyes, delivering a drastic measure.

Baili Mingyue seemed to awaken from a dream, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you."

"Little cousin, there's no need to be so polite..."

Mo Qingcheng turned around, leaving the space to Baili.

With heavy steps, Baili Mingyue threw the tinder into the room and darted after Mo Qingcheng.

Baili Fengyun waited a moment, then sighed softly and shook his head: "Miss, wait for me..."

Mo Qingcheng was speechless: "Baili, he's yours, take him away right now."

"..." Baili Fengyun had just caught up when he was caught in the crossfire, feeling utterly hopeless and aggrieved: "Miss..."

"Shut up!" Mo Qingcheng's eyelids twitched wildly. Could this guy be sticking to her now?

As expected, Baili Fengyun was afraid that Mo Niangzi would abandon him, so he stayed by her side almost every step of the way. Whether riding a horse, traveling by carriage, or eating, he would always steal a few glances from time to time.

Baili Mingyue's cold, peach-blossom eyes seemed to want to stare him until they were riddled with holes, but Baili Fengyun ignored them and pretended not to see them.

Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye. Mo Qingcheng arrived safely in Nanping Village, but now she has a tail following her.

The six children immediately became alert, and the one-eyed man felt a sense of foreboding: "Madam, who is this thief?"

"I'm your grandpa..."
