The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. The crazy old man was rambling on and on; he was terrifying...
A hint of disdain flashed in the Sixth Elder's eyes, while Mo Yi's expression turned solemn: "Young Miss..."
Mo Qingcheng clasped her hands in a fist salute to the mad old man: "Thank you, sir! This is for you!"
The mad old man reached out and caught the medicine bottle that Mo Qingcheng threw to him, chuckling, "It's fate!"
The next second, the crazy old man disappeared from the spot. If it weren't for the fact that his chopsticks, which he had just used for eating, were broken, it would have seemed like the whole thing was an illusion.
Mo Qingcheng narrowed her eyes and stood there lost in thought.
Mo Yi directed everyone to pack their things and then came to Mo Qingcheng's side: "Miss, I will do my best to ensure your safety."
"Yes, I believe you!" Mo Qingcheng snapped out of her thoughts, took a deep breath, touched her nose, and with a flick of her hand, put the things away. Mo Yi's eyes burned: "Young Miss, your spatial ring..."
"Ahem... My mother gave it to me, it's a secret... When I find a treasure like this, I'll give one to each of you..." Mo Qingcheng began to paint a rosy picture for everyone.
The guards were all stunned. Such a good thing? The young lady truly lived up to her name; generous and humble, far better than that stingy imposter at home…
Elder Liu remained calm and collected, listening to a bunch of kids spouting nonsense with disdain, thinking them ignorant!
Do they think spatial rings are as common as cabbages? And everyone has one? Even the nine elders in the family can't manage that, let alone these guards?
Mo Qingcheng caught a glimpse of the Sixth Elder's disdainful look out of the corner of her eye, and a smile curved her lips: "Mo Yi, remember what your young lady said today. Today, my brothers have risked their lives for me, and tomorrow I will make them stand at the pinnacle of the continent!"
The guards fell silent. The young lady actually considered them brothers! They were nothing more than hired assassins kept in the manor; nobody treated them like human beings. How could they not be moved by Mo Qingcheng's words today?
"Young Miss! What have we done to deserve this?" Mo Yi's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"You are all my good brothers, Mo Qingcheng! We share the good times and the bad!" Mo Qingcheng extended his hand.
"We'll share the good times and the bad!" Mo Yi was the first to extend his hand in response.
The other Mo Guards also reached out their hands, leaving only Li Qingfeng's group of five. The Sixth Elder frowned slightly, thinking that the young lady was too arrogant.
No wonder they grew up wild outside, they've all gone astray. I wonder if their parents will be heartbroken.
Others only know that the Mo family is incredibly powerful, but who knows that it is rotten to the core and will be swallowed up by other families if it can no longer rise?
The young lady actually...
Ugh... this is really beneath me...
Half an hour later, under the protection of a group of Mo guards, Mo Qingcheng set off towards Demon Cloud Peak. The Sixth Elder opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.
Mo Qingcheng hummed an unknown tune, her steps light and easy. At first glance, she didn't look like she was climbing a mountain at all; someone who didn't know better would think she was out sightseeing.
Mo Yi stayed close by Mo Qingcheng's side, his eyes sparkling, knowing that following the young lady meant there would be plenty to eat.
The remaining Mo guards split into two groups, some scouting ahead and others covering the rear. The group climbed the mountain, searching for the rare medicinal herbs that Mo Qingcheng had mentioned.
The Sixth Elder's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the five people following him from a distance, and his brows furrowed instantly. The group, who had initially been hesitant to get too close due to the Sixth Elder's powerful aura, quickly scurried away as far as they could when they saw his impatient expression.
Sixth Elder: ...
Is this elder some kind of monster?
Five people responded, while the Sixth Elder snorted coldly, but unexpectedly, he missed a step.
"Ah... Help!"
"Help! The Sixth Elder is dying..."
"puff!"
