Bei Gonglan remained silent the whole way, and Mo Qingcheng did not disturb her, writing and drawing in her notebook.
Outside the carriage, the poor Blackie was forcibly changed into a white outfit. He awkwardly tried to take it off several times, but was glared at fiercely by the young boy and dared not do anything rash.
Young master, please have mercy...
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed, and Hei Yi's back stiffened. He...he...how did he follow?
Good heavens, monsters! They've made a complete fool of themselves along the way... Hei Yi is utterly disgusted.
Bai Yi glanced at him with the look one would give an idiot, and uttered two words: "Idiot."
It's not very harmful, but extremely insulting...
Hei Yi brandished his whip, wishing he could kick Bai Yi away, but the young boy's cold eyes were like knives, and Hei Yi cowered in fear.
Isn't it better to be outside? It's just catching a bus.
The carriage slowly left the town, encountering two groups of people along the way, which were dealt with by Hei Yi and Shangguan Yichen together.
Hei Yi suddenly realized that the young master was very powerful; his martial arts skills seemed to be even better than his own…
Bei Gonglan was about to speak several times, but Mo Qingcheng changed the subject, saying that now was not the time to resolve her inner conflict.
Bei Gonglan took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a short rest...
As the sun set, the carriage stopped at the door, and Bai Yueniang and the children swarmed around it.
"Sister Mo, why are you only coming back now?"
"Mother, don't you love Momo anymore?"
"Mother, are you alright?"
The children's heartfelt words of concern warmed Mo Qingcheng's heart.
"Thank you, Yue'er and the babies, everything went smoothly. However, Mother brought a new friend who will be staying with us temporarily." Mo Qingcheng reached out and led Bei Gonglan down from the carriage.
Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up: "Aunt Lan, I'll take you to get some snacks. Aunt Yue makes them, they're so delicious..."
"..." Mo Qingcheng was slightly taken aback, her gaze shifting between Mu Wanqing and Bei Gonglan's faces. At first glance, the two, one big and one small, looked like... mother and son...
Mo Qingcheng was startled by her own thought. "Lan'er, you and Qing'er should go and rest..."
“Hmm…” Bei Gonglan grasped the little girl’s hand, lowered her eyes, and took a step.
Shangguan Yunxi and the other kids: "..."
Qing'er seems a little off, but it's hard to say exactly what's wrong with her right now.
The children followed Mo Qingcheng around, asking all sorts of questions. Bai Yueniang quickly caught up with Shangguan Yichen: "Brother Chen..."
"Aunt Yue, neither Mother nor I are injured..."
"It's good that you're not injured!" Bai Yueniang turned around, caught sight of Hei Yi's figure, and scratched her head: "Guard Bai's expression changed?"
Black One: "..."
What are you talking about?
After everyone washed up, drank some tea, and ate some snacks, the courtyard soon filled with the aroma of food.
Hei didn't even look up, picked up his chopsticks and devoured the food in a whirlwind. He'd wasted his life before; this was life.
Bai Yi's eyes flickered slightly, a smile played at the corners of his lips, and he lowered his eyes without saying a word.
After dinner, Mo Qingcheng exchanged a few brief words with Bai Yueniang and then took Beigong Lan back to her room.
Bei Gonglan was somewhat reserved, her heart pounding with trepidation: "Sister Mo..."
"Lan'er, don't say anything, just get some sleep. I'll always be by your side..."
“Sister Mo…” Bei Gonglan felt a pang of grievance, nodded fiercely, and sniffed.
Mo Qingcheng chuckled: "You go to sleep first, I still have half a picture left, I'll revise it and then go to sleep..."
"good!"
Before long, Bei Gonglan's even breathing could be heard. Mo Qingcheng smiled and continued working on the blueprints in her hands. Fifty repeating crossbows. The incident a few days ago reminded her that without a suitable weapon, her combat power was halved, and she would be in danger at critical moments.
Next time Bai Yifan returns, he will teach him the essentials of crossbow shooting.
Outside the window, a slanting moon hung in the sky. A sudden gust of wind rose, the night was slightly cool, and a dark shadow flashed by...
