Mo Ziyu tried his best to control his tone, but he couldn't help but reveal a hint of resentment: "Zhao Yu? I've never seen him before. I'm afraid the prince has come to the wrong place!"
However, just as he finished speaking, he remembered what Mo Xuefei had said before: she wanted to teach Zhao Yu a lesson, and his heart skipped a beat. No way?
Pei Ji used his actions to tell him whether he had made the wrong choice or not, "Bring it up!"
Two guards came up carrying a man. The moment Mo Ziyu saw the man, his heart sank.
The man's name is Mo Cenfeng. He is the Mo family's spokesperson in the secular world and manages all of the Mo family's businesses in the secular world.
The Mohists claim to be a hermit family, but living in this world means eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, getting married, and having funerals. Which of these activities requires money? And where does money come from? Isn't it earned in the secular world?
Within the Mohist school, people with spiritual roots are called direct descendants, while those without spiritual roots are called secondary descendants. Direct descendants need to spend a lot of time practicing, so where do they have time to worry about mundane matters like making money?
The Mo family has set up a spirit gathering array in their territory. In order to prevent the descendants who are unable to practice from staying in the clan territory and wasting spiritual energy, when they reach a certain age, they will be exiled from the clan territory.
The exiled members of the clan would come to the secular world, rely on the Mohist family as their support, start various businesses, make money to support their family, and hope that their family would bestow elixirs upon them.
And this Mohist school in the secular world is led by Mo Cenfeng.
When the direct descendant of the family came to the secular world, Mo Cenfeng had to follow his lead and obey his orders unconditionally.
After Pei Ji received the news of Xue Huan's disappearance, he launched an emergency investigation and discovered that the owner of the teahouse where she disappeared was the Mo family. He immediately arrested Mo Cenfeng, and after a series of torture and interrogation, Mo Cenfeng confessed.
At this moment, in front of Mo Ziyu and the others, Mo Cenfeng stammered and repeated what he had done before, then lowered his head with a dejected look.
Mo Ziyu's gaze fell on Mo Cenfeng. There were no visible scars on his body, but his face was as pale as paper, his expression was full of panic, and his eyes were unfocused, which showed that he had suffered a lot of torture before.
Mo Ziyu couldn't help but clench his fists, but now it was the Mo family who was in the wrong, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Please wait a moment, Your Highness. I will have Zhao Yu released right away."
Just then, a person walked over. Who else could it be but "Mo Xuefei"?
"Brother, what's going on?" she asked in surprise.
The moment he saw her, the murderous aura around Pei Ji disappeared instantly, and his tense body relaxed, but his expression remained cold.
Mo Ziyu pulled "Mo Xuefei" over and asked through gritted teeth, "Is Zhao Yu in your hands?"
Before Concubine Mo Xue could even open her mouth, she was pulled over. Pei Ji slammed her against a bamboo tree with a sword in one hand and pinched her neck with the other. "Where's Zhao Yu?"
His tone was cruel, and the veins on the hand that was pinching her neck were bulging, and it seemed that he was using great strength.
However, only the person involved knew that the look in his eyes when he looked at her was one of ecstasy of regaining what he had lost, and the hand that was pinching her neck was trembling, and he didn't use any strength at all.
Xue Huan knew that Pei Ji recognized her.
She was planning to take the opportunity to test him, but he recognized her as soon as she appeared, leaving her no room to display her acting skills.
Even though he recognized her, he was very cooperative with her performance. Xue Huan went along with it, trying to pull his hand away with an uneasy look on her face. She said with difficulty, "You... let me go first."
Pei Ji almost burst out laughing. Did she have to act so hard?
Fortunately, he managed his expression very well and didn't reveal any flaws. He said coldly: "Hand him over, otherwise-"
Mo Ziyu hurried over, trying to rescue "Mo Xuefei" from his grasp, "Prince, please don't be impulsive. Xuefei, tell me, where did you hide Zhao Yu?"
When Pei Ji saw him pulling Xue Huan over just now, he wanted to chop off his hand. Now seeing him trying to grab her hand again, he swung his sword at him.
If Moziyu hadn't dodged quickly, his nose would have been cut off by him.
Pei Ji said coldly to "Mo Xuefei": "Lead the way, no tricks allowed."
Xue Huan had a look of fear and resentment on her face. She turned around reluctantly and led the way.
Mo Ziyu also wanted to follow, but was blocked by Pei Ji's sword. He could only watch Pei Ji and "Mo Xuefei" walk away together.
The entrance to the tunnel was inside the rockery beside the lake. Before Xue Huan disguised herself as Mo Xuefei and came out, she searched her soul, so she was very familiar with the mechanism at the entrance and successfully led Pei Ji into the tunnel.
As soon as he entered, Pei Ji hugged Xue Huan from behind, "Huan Huan!"
When Xue Huan turned around, she removed the illusion, revealing her true face. She stood on tiptoe, hugged his neck, and hung her whole body on him, smiling at him, "I'm fine."
These three simple words calmed him down.
Pei Ji lowered his head, brushing his nose against her cheek, and inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her body. His burning heart finally settled down, and he asked again, "Where's Yan'er?"
"He's fine too. I've hidden him in a safe place for now."
His wife and son were both fine, and Pei Ji calmed down. He lifted the person in his arms up so that she was at about the same height as him, and kissed her.
The kiss was gentle and lingering at first, but gradually became more intense. He couldn't help but push her against the wall, wanting to absorb the sweetness from her mouth to the greatest extent.
Xue Huan knew that he was very worried when she was missing, so she was very submissive at first. She wanted to use this kiss to make him feel that she was in his arms and that everything was fine.
But later on, they couldn't hold back any longer. If they continued kissing, they were afraid that something might happen accidentally.
She turned her head away and hid, "Pei Ji, okay, I..."
Pei Ji couldn't get enough of the kiss, so he kept chasing her and pestering her until she completely collapsed in his arms, and then he finally stopped.
But he still felt unsatisfied and kissed her lips several times, "Hanhuan, what do you want to say?"
Xue Huan glanced at him sideways, and that glance was full of shimmering beauty and charm. Pei Ji couldn't hold it in an instant, and pinched her chin and gave her another deep kiss, which went deep into her throat.
In the end, Xue Huan's whole body softened into a puddle of water, and she had to cover his mouth.
Then he stroked his head, "Be good, stop messing around. I have something serious to tell you."
Pei Ji's hot breath sprayed on her palm, bringing a tingling sensation. "Well, go ahead."
"Guess who I found in the Mo family's basement?"
"I can't guess, Huanhuan, tell me." Pei Ji kissed the palm of her hand.
Xue Huan withdrew her hand and tapped his chin, "Li Shuoxue."
Once the best master in the world.
His daughter Li Qingluo was captured by the Mohist people, so Li Shuoxue came over and wanted the Mohist people to hand over his daughter, but he was defeated by Mo Ziyu's puppet formation.
Mo Ziyu did not kill him, but locked him in the basement. Every time he created a mechanism or formation, he would use him as a test subject to test the power of the mechanism.
After two years, Li Shuoxue had been tortured beyond recognition.
