Ling Feng stood to the side, somewhat uneasy: "Lady Mo..."
"Let's go!" Mo Qingcheng snapped out of her daze, patted Shangguan Yichen on the shoulder, and gestured for Ling Feng to quicken his pace.
After walking for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, we finally arrived at our destination, a hidden cave.
Mo Qingcheng's eyelids twitched: "Is the master injured?"
Ling Feng nodded and opened the array at the cave entrance, and the group filed in.
The further Mo Qingcheng went, the more her heart sank. Was this... the King of Hell getting restless and inviting someone for tea?
The King of Hell almost choked to death on a mouthful of blood. This burden is too heavy for me to bear.
The cave was rugged and uneven. After thinking for a moment, Mo Qingcheng took out a luminous pearl.
Ling Feng subconsciously narrowed his eyes. Shangguan Yichen had a cold little face. Mother is so generous. This luminous pearl is priceless. Even if Qing'er wanted to take it away, she wouldn't succeed.
Mo Qingcheng's lips twitched. Even a fool could figure out why the boss was unwilling.
This kid, sigh... could it be that he's still thinking about his cheap adoptive father, that scumbag dad?
Although Mo Qingcheng inherited most of the original owner's memories, she had little impression of that scoundrel, only that he was very handsome.
The original owner only caught a fleeting glimpse of it, but could never shake it off.
That scumbag!
This instructor... isn't some pretty girl who likes to look at faces... uh... no, while I do like handsome men, that doesn't include scumbags...
Mo Qingcheng couldn't help but rub her forehead. She had strayed from her thoughts and pulled herself back to reality. A faint smell of blood wafted into her nostrils, mixed with a hint of poison.
This luck is unbelievable!
No wonder they're hiding here.
The turtle disagreed, saying, "We prefer to stay in the water; we don't like these nooks and crannies..."
Mo Qingcheng rolled her eyes, too lazy to argue, and took a few quick steps. A man in a black robe lay on the stone slab in the cave, barely breathing.
“Master…” Ling Feng’s eyes reddened, and his hands trembled slightly, “Lady Mo… has arrived…”
The man showed no reaction; his body was ice-cold, not completely cold yet.
Mo Qingcheng reached out to take her pulse, hissing as she realized that if she had arrived even a moment later, she might have been taken away by the King of Hell.
Ling Feng's eyes welled up with tears, and he lost his composure: "Master... Master..."
It's all my fault, I arrived late with Lady Mo...
Two bodyguards lay nearby, severely injured, and their condition seemed dire as well.
Mo Qingcheng frowned slightly: "Shut up! The person isn't dead yet! Go outside and keep watch!"
Ling Feng jolted awake, opened his mouth, and wanted to ask Mo Qingcheng if there was any hope for his master.
"If you don't trust your mother, we'll leave now!" Shangguan Yichen's cold eyes were fixed on Ling Feng.
Ling Feng subconsciously shook his head: "Lady Mo, please, I know I was wrong!"
What a load of bull! Subordinates!
Shangguan Yichen's expression grew even colder: "Bai Yi, go and guard her. No one is allowed to disturb Mother!"
"Oh..." Bai Yi glanced coldly at the two heavily injured guards on the ground, and curled his lip, "Worthless, trash."
The two guards dared not meet Bai Yi's gaze. They were indeed useless; they had failed to protect their master at the crucial moment and deserved to die.
Mo Qingcheng felt a warmth in her heart. This little boy really protects his mother; all the love and care she had for him was worthwhile.
"Mother, I'll help you!" Shangguan Yichen said softly.
"Okay!" Mo Qingcheng took out several medicine bottles and handed them to Shangguan Yichen, asking him to detoxify the two guards and bandage their wounds.
Shangguan Yichen took a deep breath, glanced at the unconscious man in black robes, and felt increasingly displeased. His mother wasn't someone anyone could just think about…
Mo Qingcheng took out a silver needle, just about to insert it, when the man in the black robe instinctively grabbed Mo Qingcheng's wrist, his whole body exuding a murderous aura.
"It's me..."
