Qi Yuanwei mounted his horse, his eyes lowered indifferently. Since Lady Mo didn't want to talk, then so be it. Getting too close would only make the young lady feel too distant...
Mo Qingcheng's eyes flickered slightly. Baili's identity was special. Even if her relationship with Qi Yuanwei took a step further, she couldn't let Baili be harmed, could she?
Young Master Qi, I'm truly sorry...
Mo Qingcheng and Qi Yuanwei headed to the water source in Shatian Town. The road was full of potholes, so they didn't go very fast. The two of them frowned, wondering if their guess was wrong.
Qi Yuanwei took a deep breath: "Lady Mo, are you sure this is the place?"
"uncertain……"
Qi Yuanwei: "..."
Uncertainty is causing me trouble too; you just can't stand having an easy time?
Mo Qingcheng was too lazy to pay attention to Qi Yuanwei. This guy would only do anything for personal gain. He wanted to reap the benefits but didn't want to put in the hard work.
On what grounds?
Qi Yuanwei was just making a fuss in the hopes of getting Mo Qingcheng's attention, but he didn't expect that the little bit of goodwill he had accumulated over the past few days would vanish in an instant.
If he had known it would end like this, Qi Yuanwei wouldn't have complained even if he were beaten to death...
After walking for about half an hour, the scenery changed with every step, and the view suddenly opened up, forming a stark contrast to the previous scenery.
Mo Qingcheng paused slightly, her delicate brows furrowing: "Old Qi, don't you think something's strange?"
Why does it feel like I'm in a dream world? Mo Qingcheng thought to herself.
Qi Yuanwei nodded: "Lady Mo, could it be... that we've stumbled into an illusion?"
"Hmm, ninety-nine percent..." Mo Qingcheng sighed softly. Luck is something you can't just have if you want it. How come they were so incredibly lucky?
Qi Yuanwei's lips twitched: "What do we do now?"
"Make it cold!"
Qi Yuanwei: "..."
You are the boss, I am humbled and concede defeat.
After observing for a while, Mo Qingcheng couldn't find the array's core. A question flashed through her mind: Could it be that someone had already guessed it and tampered with it beforehand?
That's it!
"Lady Mo, is it possible to break the formation?"
"Can!"
"Then..." When will we break the formation?
Qi Yuanwei was interrupted by Mo Qingcheng before he could finish speaking.
"I never do things that are thankless and exhausting. Instead of wasting time worrying, I'd rather conserve my energy..."
Mo Qingcheng stopped there; it's likely there's still a tough battle ahead.
As expected, a quarter of an hour later, a group of desperate criminals appeared in the illusion array. The leader was a frail scholar, which was somewhat unexpected.
"Here comes my little brother?" Mo Qingcheng sat leisurely under the tree, cracking melon seeds, glancing at the scholar with a smile on her face.
The scholar was slightly taken aback: "Madam Mo, I've heard so much about you!"
"Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Baiyi, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Mo Qingcheng's lips curved into a smile as she spat out a few small pieces of sunflower seed shells, aiming them at Bai Xiaosheng's forehead and throat.
Bai Baiyi, the sage, glanced at Bai Xiaosheng with surprise and chuckled, "Madam Mo, don't be naughty."
Qi Yuanwei stepped forward, blocking Mo Qingcheng's view, and glared coldly at Bai Baiyi: "Are you bored?"
"I have nothing better to do than to get to know Madam Mo, that's all..." Bai Baiyi was not angry at all, and his calm and nonchalant appearance instantly stung Qi Yuanwei's eyes.
"Hmph! High-sounding! You believe that lame excuse yourself?"
"Why not new?" Bai Baiyi was always gentle and refined, seemingly never having fallen out with anyone, nor knowing what anger was.
Qi Yuanwei felt as if he had punched cotton, and the chill on his body intensified.
Bai Baiyi, with his signature fox-like eyes, glanced sideways at Mo Qingcheng, who was eating melon seeds behind him: "Lady Mo, may I have a word with you in private?"
"certainly!"
"no!"
