Mobeichen, t...
The next room.
Mo Beichen stood with his hands behind his back, with several men kneeling behind him, their clothes embroidered with the unique logo of the First Building.
Among them, two men were dressed in purple, one of whom was the purple-clad youth who had previously arranged to meet Yue Tianze and Ye Ming.
"My lord, the Northern Moon Kingdom and the Eastern Martial Kingdom have offered an exorbitant price to ask us to help investigate who is behind the arrest of the lady."
Mo Beichen looked out the window at the dark sky. There were very few people on the street because of the impending rain. In a short while, the raindrops began to fall, and the sky became even darker.
Mo Beichen took a few steps back, afraid that getting his clothes wet would worry Luo Luo, and then said coldly, "Did you find out his intentions?"
The person who had spoken earlier replied, "No."
"Have you found out who's behind Old Zhou?" Mo Beichen turned around and sat down.
The purple-clad youth hesitated slightly, "We did find out... those people came from the Xuancang Continent."
Mo Beichen paused slightly as he picked up the cup, then resumed his normal motion after a moment. "Is Elder Zhou from the Xuancang Continent?"
When he founded the First Building, he knew that the world was not just about the four countries they belonged to.
Because there is an elder in the building who comes from the Xuancang Continent.
According to that elder, there are ten continents in this world. The continent where Tianmo Kingdom is located is called Sumeru Continent, which is the last of all the continents.
The Xuancang Continent is the number one continent in the ranking of all continents, ruling over all other continents.
A century ago, the rulers of the continents made an alliance to not disrupt the balance of the continents. However, as time went by, the rulers of some continents became more ambitious and attempted to annex other continents.
The ruler of the Sumeru Continent had no ambition; he only wished for the people of the continent to live in peace. Therefore, he severed ties with other continents. Later, slowly, no one remembered anything outside the Sumeru Continent.
This is why there are Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards; they were created by the rulers of the Sumeru Continent to protect the people of the Sumeru Continent.
However, in order to avoid being exposed, they chose a wise ruler to conceal their true identities.
Mo Beichen's thoughts were pulled back by the sound of voices.
The purple-clad youth replied, "Your Majesty, I am not certain, but Elder Zhou does indeed possess a strange secret technique, just as Madam said. Madam has no recollection of becoming a medicine man, which is probably due to this secret technique. We have only found out that Elder Zhou has been in secret contact with others, but we have not yet found any information about the person he has been in contact with. What we can confirm is that the person is not from here."
Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen remained silent for a long time.
Those kneeling on the ground dared not even breathe loudly.
After a while, thunder rumbled outside the window, and Mo Beichen finally came to his senses. He said calmly, "Get up, everyone. Continue the investigation. Notify the capital that if they discover any spies from the other two countries, ignore them, just keep a close watch."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After saying this, the purple-robed youth pursed his lips, his expression somewhat conflicted.
Mo Beichen glanced at him. "Is there anything else?"
The young man in purple, somewhat fearful, took out a box from his robes, gently placed it on the table, and whispered, "My lord, this is from the elders of the building. They said it's for the lady."
Mo Beichen stared intently at the box, his eyes lowered, his expression unreadable.
He then waved his hand, "I understand, you can go now."
The room immediately fell silent. Mo Beichen drank a cup of tea and got up to go next door to find Yun Qingluo.
When she reached the door, she turned back, picked up the box on the table, pursed her lips, sighed, and went out.
Just as Mo Beichen opened the door, Yun Qingluo sat up from the bed.
"Ah Chen, you're back?" Yun Qingluo heard the door open and turned to look, only to see Mo Beichen walk in expressionlessly.
Mo Beichen walked up to Yun Qingluo, his expression softening. "Well, Luoluo, take a look and see if you like it. If you don't, just throw it away."
Yun Qingluo was initially pleasantly surprised, "You gave this to me?"
As he spoke, he opened the box and found three items inside: two rings and a bracelet, all exquisitely designed.
Yun Qingluo picked up the ring. "Hey, there are two, but why is one big and one small? This big one isn't yours, is it? This bracelet is really pretty though."
When Mo Beichen saw the bracelet, his eyes darkened slightly, and he curled the corners of his mouth, showing his generosity.
When Yun Qingluo saw that Mo Beichen did not answer her, she looked up and saw him smiling inexplicably at the bracelet in her hand.
"Ah Chen?" Yun Qingluo called him softly, and tugged at his sleeve.
Mo Beichen sat down on the edge of the bed, took the bracelet from Yun Qingluo's hand, took Yun Qingluo's hand, gestured, and put the bracelet on her wrist.
"These are gifts from those old guys in the building. Do you like them?" Mo Beichen explained.
Then she pointed to a mechanism on the bracelet and said, “There are two hundred poison needles in here. The needles are very small and can barely be seen with the naked eye. Once you are hit by a poison needle, you won’t live longer than an incense stick. Luo Luo, you have to be careful when you use them in the future. I’ll go back to the building to get you more needles when we run out.”
Yun Qingluo stared in surprise at the bracelet on her wrist. It was actually a hidden weapon. No wonder it was so exquisite and complicated in design, and also heavier than an ordinary bracelet.
Mo Beichen took the ring from Yun Qingluo's hand again. The ring was very antique, with intricate and delicate patterns on it, and it looked like something extraordinary.
“This ring is mine. Because of some things that happened before, I returned it, but I didn’t expect it to come back.” Mo Beichen looked at the ring, which was slightly larger than the previous one, and his tone was ambiguous.
Yun Qingluo looked up at Mo Beichen and asked, "Does this ring symbolize the identity of the Lord of the Pavilion?"
Mo Beichen gave a soft "Mmm," and said, "Luo Luo, would you like me to put it on?"
Yun Qingluo smiled and said okay, then picked up the ring and put it on Mo Beichen's finger.
Mo Beichen glanced at Yun Qingluo, picked up the small ring and put it on Yun Qingluo's finger. He put his hands together and said with satisfaction, "Hmm, very good."
Looking at the identical rings, Yun Qingluo had a vague idea of what was going on and nodded, "Yes, they're beautiful."
Looking at his smiling wife, Mo Beichen introduced, "This ring is the symbol of the Lord's wife. Seeing it is like seeing the Lord. If Luo Luo encounters any trouble in the future, she can use this ring to summon the people of the First Tower."
“The people from the First Floor all have this pattern on their clothes. If Luo Luo sees someone wearing this kind of clothing, she will know that they are from the First Floor and can be ordered around at will.” Mo Beichen pointed to the pattern on the ring, then called in another person from the First Floor and said to Yun Qingluo.
Yun Qingluo exclaimed in surprise, "Ah Chen, you're amazing! Hehe, I'm so lucky!"
Seeing Yun Qingluo's happiness, Mo Beichen's lips also curled up slightly, and he said with a smile, "I am the truly lucky one. Since you like them, then accept them all."
After saying that, Mo Beichen waved for the person from the First Floor to leave.
