After Yan An's great calamity, she went down the mountain many times, visiting the inn she had once been to and the roadside where she had been saved, but she never heard from her brother Mo Chen.
"Yue Xiyuan, who is bidding against Su Jingzhan?" Yan An longed to hear from Yue Xiyuan that it was the Mo Chen brother she had been searching for.
"Mo Zichen, the master of Beiming Manor, lost both his parents when he was ten. He suffers from a terminal illness and is also poisoned by a rare toxin. He has been treated by the Divine Physician Jiugu. Since the passing of the Divine Physician Jiugu two years ago, Su Jingzhan has taken over. Su Jingzhan is the apprentice of the Divine Physician Jiugu. Today, he probably wants to see Su Jingzhan to suppress the poison in his body. He probably just happened to see Linglong Pavilion auctioning Tianshan Water and wanted to bid for it. I remember Su Jingzhan said that Mo Zichen needs to use Tianshan Water for a medicinal bath." Seeing Yan An's curiosity about Mo Zichen, Yue Xiyuan couldn't help but feel a little sad. He was unsure if they knew each other.
"Su Jingzhan is actually the disciple of the Nine Valley Divine Physician. How did you two meet?" Yan An was surprised to find that Su Jingzhan was her fellow disciple and couldn't help but feel curious.
"Two years ago, I went to the Northwest to quell a rebellion, but I was tricked and accidentally ended up in the Tianshan Mountains. I was seriously injured, and the environment was harsh with wild beasts roaming around. When my life was hanging by a thread, I met Su Jingzhan. Su Jingzhan saved me, and we hit it off immediately. Su Jingzhan told me that he was entrusted by his master, who had predicted before his death that the water of the Tianshan Mountains would soon appear there. So he came to the Tianshan Mountains to search for it. Later, after I recovered from my injuries, I helped him find it. At that time, it was a month after the death of the Divine Physician Jiugu. Su Jingzhan was all alone, so he came back to the capital with me." Yue Xiyuan explained patiently.
"Since Su Jingzhan and Mo Zichen are acquainted, why would he want to compete with him for the water of Tianshan?" Yan An was indeed a little confused.
Yue Xiyuan coughed lightly, "I asked him to steal it, but I didn't know Mo Zichen would come. Su Jingzhan probably didn't recognize it..."
"Knock knock knock... Master, Mr. Su asked you if the person who was grabbing the Heavenly Mountain Water on the fourth floor is Mo Zichen. Can you let him have it?"
“Let Su Jingzhan go back,” Yue Xiyuan agreed.
In the end, the water from Tianshan was won by Mo Zichen for five thousand taels of silver.
Yan An became even more certain that this was Mo Chen, the brother who had saved her and accompanied her on her travels back then.
"Yue Xiyuan, can you do me a favor?" Yan An's tone was both low and excited.
"Go ahead and say it." Yue Xiyuan looked at Yan An, who was staring at Mo Zichen, and felt a little uneasy. Was his fiancée going to run away?
"If Mo Zichen goes to Su Jingzhan for treatment, could you please let me know? I'd like to go and see him. Also, I'd like you to send a few people to protect him." Yan An blinked her eyes, somewhat expectant, afraid that Yue Xiyuan would refuse.
"He looks remarkably like an old friend of mine, and I want to confirm it."
“Okay.” Yue Xiyuan concealed the sadness in his eyes; they did indeed know each other.
Yue Xiyuan understood Yan An's meaning: the Tianshan water, filmed in front of a large audience, might be something that could be taken but not used.
Yan An handed Yue Xiyuan a whistle. "Thank you. If you get any news, just blow this whistle, and a golden eagle will come looking for you. Just give it the message."
"Little fox... how do you plan to repay me?" A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes as she looked at Yan An pitifully, somewhat like a lapdog begging its master for a pat.
Of course, Yan An did the same, patting Yue Xiyuan's head...
Both of them were stunned...
"Ahem... So what do you want?" Yan An withdrew her hand somewhat embarrassedly.
“I want…” Yue Xiyuan stared intently at Yan An.
Yan An, feeling stared at, thought Yue Xiyuan wanted her, and unconsciously became a little shy.
"Hahaha, I'll tell you after things are settled." Yue Xiyuan also wanted to know what the relationship was between Yan An and Mo Zichen. If Yan An had feelings for Mo Zichen, with her miraculous abilities, he couldn't hold her captive. If the two had no feelings for each other, he would reveal their identities. Even if the little fox didn't love him, Yue Xiyuan, now, he would make her fall in love with him.
Yue Xiyuan was extremely confident in his appearance. Yes, his appearance. After all, Yan An liked good-looking people. For a moment, Yue Xiyuan was somewhat grateful to his father and mother for giving him such a perfect face... and figure.
Yan An suddenly realized that Yue Xiyuan was teasing her, and stomped her feet as she walked out of the room.
"Dr. Luo, these are the silver notes from this auction. Please take a look." Manager Wang handed a stack of silver notes to Yan An.
"Bai Su, you can keep this for now. Give it to Bai Tao when you get back so she can put it in her account. Let's go back now."
"Give this to your master and tell him that if anything happens tonight, he can use this to clean up the mess." Yan An handed Manager Wang a bottle of medicine labeled "corpse dissolving water."
"Master." Manager Wang handed the corpse-dissolving water to Yue Xiyuan. Since they were only separated by a door, Yue Xiyuan could hear clearly what Yan An said.
"Go down." Yue Xiyuan called An Yi over, gave him the corpse-dissolving water, and explained what would happen that night.
As usual, Yan An and Bai Su took a longer route before returning to the General's Mansion.
Inside the Yuelai Inn, a man said, “Master, this really is water from Tianshan. It’s even more concentrated than the water that Mr. Su found in Tianshan.”
After arriving in the capital, Mo Zichen and his group stayed at Yuelai Hotel. Although Beiming Manor already had a lot of business in the capital, Mo Zichen did not want to disturb them. If someone with ulterior motives found out, their trip would probably not be peaceful.
After taking pictures of the Tianshan River, Mo Zichen returned to Yuelai Guest House. This was the Regent's territory, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to cause trouble here, which would save him a lot of trouble. Mo Zichen understood this point.
"We'll go to Jirentang tomorrow. Let's go and rest."
Yan An lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Was it Brother Mo Chen...?
