Chapter 317: Beating the Dog

A hint of paleness appeared in the east, the darkness gradually faded away, and with it came the warm sunshine.

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on Shi Yan, he slowly opened his eyes and what he saw was the bright sunlight.

His shoulders felt a little sore, so he turned his head and saw a strand of soft hair and the fragrant scent of virginity. Mo Luoning was sleeping soundly with her head resting on his shoulder.

Shi Yan smiled bitterly. Last night he just wanted to sit and look at the stars and talk about plans, but he ended up falling asleep in a daze.

Looking at the blankets on their bodies, it should be the Mohist disciples who were on guard who covered them. However, he didn't understand why two people had to share one blanket. It seemed that the supplies in the sentry tower were sufficient, so there shouldn't be a shortage of blankets.

Shi Yan shook his head, perhaps they had misunderstood.

"Hmm..." Mo Luoning rubbed her eyes and stretched lazily. Her exquisite curves were perfectly displayed in front of Shi Yan. In the sunlight, she looked a little holy. Shi Yan couldn't help but stare at her in a daze. Mo Luoning turned her head and looked at Shi Yan's stunned expression. Only then did she realize that her posture was so indecent at the moment. She glared at Shi Yan with a red face.

"If you keep looking at me, I'll dig out your eyes!" After threatening Shi Yan, she stood up, turned around and ran away.

Shi Yan looked at her back and smiled slightly. This girl is still a little cute.

After getting down from the sentry tower, everyone had already gotten up. Mo Xiaoyan and Mo Chou looked much better than yesterday, and Mo Zixie looked full of energy, without a trace of old age. Shi Yan felt that even in his prime, he might not be a match for this old man.

Seeing Shi Yan coming down, Mo Xiaoyan immediately greeted him with a smile: "Shi Yan is here, come quickly, we have discovered some important news."

Behind him, Mo Luoning turned her head away and didn't look at him.

Shi Yan just smiled and didn't care.

Shi Yan found a place and sat down cross-legged.

Mo Xiaoyan smiled and said to Mo Chou, "You should tell the story. You are the one who investigated the matter, so you can tell it clearly."

Mo Chou nodded and said, "I found out from my investigation that most of the Mohist disciples don't know about the rebellion that happened in the Mohist school."

After hearing this, Shi Yan frowned, but said nothing and continued to listen carefully.

"I found out from inside that Mo Tianbo said that his father was attacked while he was out, and there has been no news so far. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking when the group is leaderless, he took the position of acting head of the family and waited until his father returned."

After hearing this, Shi Yan was confused and asked, "Are you sure?"

Mo Chou nodded, "I'm sure."

"So, the perpetrators are only Mo Tianbo and a few of his cronies?" Shi Yan turned around, found Yue Shuangxuan, and asked, "Do you know who participated in the rebellion?"

Yue Shuangxuan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much. I just know that the elders of the East and West Houses support him, and then there's my master, oh, Mo Zihao. Not many chess masters in the chess house know the inside information."

"These are just superficial." Mo Xiaoyan said: "When he imprisoned us, another very powerful team appeared. I can't see their identity, but I vaguely feel that he has secretly trained a group of death warriors who only listen to him."

Yue Shuangxuan said: "There is such a group of people. I have never seen them before. They have appeared in the Mo family since Mo Tianbo ascended to the position of the head of the family."

"It seems like Mo Tianbo has been preparing for a long time." Shi Yan said.

Mo Xiaoyan's face darkened and he sighed bitterly, "That's my brother... but... when he was a child, he was a very good child."

"Uncle Mo, maybe you think Mo Tianbo is your brother, but Mo Tianbo may not think so." Shi Yan said: "He may just think of you as an obstacle in his way."

Mo Xiaoyan sighed slightly, his face gloomy and he remained silent.

Shi Yan looked at Yue Shuangxuan and asked, "How many of Mo Tianbo's secret forces are in the Mo Family Fairy Island?"

Yue Shuangxuan replied: "Not many, almost all the teams have left the island, and the rest are in the smelter."

After hearing this, Shi Yan's eyes lit up, "I have an idea."

"The solution is very simple. Since only a few people know the details, we can seize this point and use Uncle Xiao's identity to stabilize most people." Shi Yan smiled and asked Mo Xiaoyan: "Who is the person in the Mo family who has the most influence on ordinary disciples?"

"It's a pity that the Mo family's chief steward, Mo Zhong, died trying to save me."

"Shuangxuan, who is the current butler?"

"It's Mo Liangren."

"Mo Liangren..." Shi Yan smiled, "Well, let's start with him!"

"But Mo Liangren is a loyal supporter of Mo Tianbo." Yue Shuangxuan explained.

"It's okay," Shi Yan said with a cold smile, "Since he is Mo Tianbo's man, getting rid of him can achieve the same goal!"

The thirteenth peak of Mojia Fairy Island is a shorter mountain, only half the height of the main peak.

However, this low mountain is the place that ordinary disciples of the Mo family look up to the most, even more so than the main peak, because here lives Mo Liangren, the chief steward who manages all ordinary disciples of the Mo family.

Mo Liangren is not fat, but very plump, with a fair face and delicate skin, just like a woman.

He was originally the right-hand man of the chief steward Mo Zhong, and was promoted from the bottom by Mo Zhong. Unfortunately, he attracted an ungrateful person.

When Mo Liangren saw Mo Luoning, he didn't even glance at her, but just drank his tea. Beside him stood four guards, all of them were arrogant, looking at Mo Luoning without even looking at her.

Mo Liangren blew on the tea gently, then took a full sip. When his mouth was filled with the fragrance of tea, he swallowed it with satisfaction and looked up at Mo Luoning. "Miss, it's almost time. Why are you still wandering around here? You should go back and dress up."

"Butler Mo, you were promoted by Butler Mo Zhong, right?"

Mo Liangren paused, then nodded, "Yes, it was Mo Zhong who promoted me. How come Miss is also interested in personnel matters?"

"No..." Mo Luoning smiled, "Butler Mo Zhong loves me the most and will never let me suffer. This time I will marry far away in the Northern Territory to be the wife of Bai Yucheng. I heard that Bai Yucheng is a playboy, bullies men and women, and has affairs with many women in private. I really don't want to go. Butler Mo Zhong loves me the most and he won't let me go. As Butler Mo Zhong promoted you, you should help me, right?"

Mo Liangren raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss, I don't know where you heard this from. The young master of the Bai family is a rare talent. If you marry him, you will definitely enjoy endless luxury."

"But......"

"There's nothing to worry about. Someone, send the young lady back." Mo Liangren lowered his eyes and said lightly.

Then, two guards stood up behind him, grabbed one of Mo Luoning's arms with one hand, and pulled him out.

"Let go." Mo Luoning was furious. No one had ever touched her like this in her life, but when she thought of the plan, she endured it.

"Oh, it seems that this little girl still thinks this is the past." Mo Liangren stepped forward and grabbed Mo Luoning's chin, sneering, "Mo Xiaoyan has already become a prisoner of the patriarch, and you still think you are a young lady? You are just a girl. If you were not still useful, you would have been sent to the brothers to have some fun."

"You!" Mo Luoning had never expected that Mo Liangren would be this kind of person. His words were more than just a difference of opinion. "If my father knew, he would never forgive you!"

"Humph, Mo Xiaoyan can't even protect himself. He's lying in the cage like a dead dog with only one breath left. What else can he do?" Mo Liangren chuckled, touching Mo Luoning's smooth face, and said with a smile: "If you hadn't given her to Bei'e Mountain, would you still be your eldest lady these days? What a pity, such a fair and tender beauty, but I have to enjoy all the blessings."

Looking at Mo Luoning's angry expression, Mo Liangren became more excited, "Hehe, although I can't eat you and let you gasp under me, I can still satisfy my desire. Hehe, I really want to see the look of the young lady who used to be so high and mighty, begging for mercy under a man."

"If you dare to touch me, I will tear you into pieces!"

"Haha, come on, would I, Mo Liangren, be afraid of you?" Mo Liangren patted Mo Luoning's face playfully and sneered, "Do you think I don't know that your spiritual power has been sealed for a long time? You are just an ordinary person now. What can you do? I think you can only scream."

Suddenly, a cold wind blew and Mo Liangren felt cold all over.

"Is this the Mo family's chief steward? This really opens my eyes." Shi Yan suddenly appeared at the door and leaned lazily against the door frame.

Mo Liangren let go of his hand and said with a smile, "Who am I? It turns out to be General Xu. General Xu is not staying in the chess house, why did he come to me?"

Shi Yan didn't say anything, just looked at Mo Luoning. To be honest, it was rare to see Mo Luoning like this now, and if you didn't look at her a few more times, you would miss her again.

Mo Liangren looked at Mo Luoning and sneered, "Why, you just came to the Mo family a few days ago, and you think you are favored by the patriarch, so you start to meddle in other people's business? I have seen a lot of people like you. The chess house is full of arrogant people, looking down on others all day long. Do you really think that the patriarch values ​​you? Don't you think that if the patriarch really values ​​you, would you still be on the island now? I am afraid you would have followed the patriarch to the expedition long ago."

At this time, there was a chirping sound from outside the wall. After hearing the chirping sound, Shi Yan stood up straight and said, "The work is done, it seems that I can stretch my muscles."

Mo Liangren suddenly realized that something was wrong, but a strong wind blew towards him, causing pain on his face. He was sent flying and hit hard against the wall.

The two guards who were holding Mo Luoning were also thrown away by Mo Luoning in anger.

"You...you are planning to rebel?" Mo Liangren was furious and shouted, "Come here, arrest them all!"

In an instant, more than a dozen guards rushed out from the backyard.

Mo Luoning didn't even look at them, but walked up to Mo Liangren and patted Mo Liangren's face.

"Hey, isn't this our butler? Who is so bold as to beat our butler Mo Liangren into this state? Who is it? Who beat up our Mo family's dog?" Mo Luoning sneered while kicking the middle-aged Mo Liangren wildly. Mo Liangren's previous remarks had already angered her. She had been holding on to her anger for a while, and now that she had exploded, she was naturally not someone he could resist.

Every time Mo Luoning took a step, Mo Liangren would make a sound like slaughtering a pig.

The more than ten guards wanted to rush forward and capture Mo Luoning, but were stopped by Shi Yan.

"How dare you! How dare you! The master of the family will not let you off, bitch!"

"Hmph! Who calls my daughter a slut again?" Mo Xiaoyan stepped into the door and looked coldly at the disheveled Mo Liangren.
