Chapter 32: Big Lie
More than half a month had passed, and everyone's patience was gradually exhausted.
Their attitude towards Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan became increasingly unfriendly.
During this period, Mo Ruyan only provided them with some vague clues, such as there were trees in the mountains, there were big rocks nearby, and they could vaguely hear the sound of water.
There are not many of them coming out this time, and it is impossible for them to search all the places they pass along the way. That would take a lot of time and manpower and material resources, and they may not find what they want in the end.
Wan Yunxiang had people repeatedly urge and warn Mo Ruyan not to play tricks, otherwise she knew the consequences.
Mo Ruyan would always deliberately cater to them and delay time.
More than twenty days have passed, and there has been no news or movement from Beijiang City, not even a single person.
Mo Ruyan seemed to have realized something in her heart.
They went into the city to rest that day. Wan Yunxiang gave Mo Ruyan a final ultimatum and said in a cold voice: "You only have three days left before the one-month deadline. If you still can't remember where you hid your things in three days, I will have to send the person you followed to report to the King of Hell first."
Wan Yunxiang's cold voice pierced into Mo Ruyan's heart like a knife.
Mo Ruyan's entire mental state seemed increasingly haggard and exhausted.
She couldn't hold on any longer. She didn't want a good man like Lai Yang to be buried with her.
I'm sorry, Dad. I really tried my best. I hope you don't blame me.
Looking at the carriage still moving, Mo Ruyan suddenly said, "Stop."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and subconsciously turned to look at Mo Ruyan.
Mo Ruyan bit her lower lip and said in a deep voice, “I’ll hide the things near the creek the day before yesterday.”
"Why didn't you tell me the day before yesterday?" a forbidden guard asked dissatisfiedly.
"Who do you think you are? Do you have the qualifications to question this princess?" Mo Ruyan's beautiful eyes coldly scolded, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
Wan Yunxiang's eyes flickered, and he slapped the forbidden guard in the face, saying coldly: "You dog, you dare to disrespect the princess? Don't you want your head anymore?"
The Forbidden Weapon Guard who was beaten was silent, his face turned pale, all his anger was suppressed in an instant, and he dared not say a word.
"You've figured it out." Wan Yunxiang smiled.
"I will hand the things over to you. I hope Uncle Wan will keep his promise and release my friend."
Mo Ruyan did not ask Wan Yunxiang to let her go because she knew that was impossible.
At this point, the only thing she could do was to try her best to give Lai Yang a chance to survive.
Hearing Mo Ruyan's words, Lai Yang felt a warm current in his heart.
It’s a pity that he is still a little short of a breakthrough. If he has more than a month to grow, he can definitely leave here with Mo Ruyan in a swagger.
"Of course, I promise you that as soon as I get the things, I will take out the antidote to detoxify him and set him free." Wan Yunxiang said calmly, "But Uncle Wan also wants you to know that this is your last chance. If the tiger talisman and silver armor order of Beijiang City are not there, both of you will be imprisoned in the Forbidden Martial Guard's death row and will never have a chance to live again."
"I understand." Mo Ruyan's eyes were dim.
"Very good, listen to the princess and turn the carriage around."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."
Two days later, the group's carriage stopped near a clear stream and Mo Ruyan left the carriage.
Lai Yang immediately stepped forward and helped her out of the carriage.
The others did not try to stop it and just watched coldly.
"Where is the thing?" Wan Yunxiang asked subconsciously.
"There's a dead tree in the woods across the river, and I buried it under that tree."
After saying this, Mo Ruyan seemed to have drained all her strength away, and she fell softly on Lai Yang's body. Her closed eyelashes trembled slightly, and she felt very painful inside.
Wan Yunxiang immediately ordered everyone to go look for it.
Everyone quickly went to look for the dead tree.
Whoever finds it first will have made a great contribution, so they will naturally not neglect their own future.
Seeing her like this, Lai Yang couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Such a responsibility is too heavy for a 20-year-old girl to bear.
Lai Yang couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her head, and whispered in her ear: "You have done well enough, leave the rest to me, don't be afraid."
Mo Ruyan slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the determined Lai Yang with her beautiful eyes that seemed to have lost their spirit. She trembled her lips, and her gaze vaguely regained some liveliness.
His confident words made her feel inexplicably at ease.
"Even if they find something, they won't kill me, because they still want to use me as a hostage to deal with Beijiang City. They won't let me die easily."
"Once the poison is resolved, run as far as you can and never come back."
"I owe you, and I can only have the chance to repay you in the next life."
Looking at the heart-warming face so close to him, Mo Ruyan moved closer as if possessed.
Lai Yang felt the soft touch on his face and was stunned.
Was he... forcefully kissed?
By the time Mo Ruyan reacted, she was so frightened that her pretty face turned red with shame, and she stammered and couldn't utter a word.
Lai Yang scratched his face subconsciously, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat embarrassed.
The favor of a beautiful woman is the hardest to erase.
Looking at her, she seemed to have regained some of her complexion and spirit.
Forget it, just kiss her. I won’t suffer any loss anyway.
Seeing this scene, Wan Yunxiang thought to himself that it was indeed true, he really caught the right person.
If this man wasn't here, Mo Ruyan might not necessarily let go. It seems that she has to make good use of him.
Half an hour later, a guard came back with a dirty cloth bag in his hand and shouted excitedly, "I found it, Master Wan, do you think this is what we are looking for? I dug it out from under a dead tree a hundred meters away."
Upon hearing this, Wan Yunxiang immediately stood up, stepped forward and untied the cloth bag in the other person's hand with a knife. Suddenly, a tiger talisman and a token shining with silver light appeared in front of him.
Wan Yunxiang's expression brightened: "The tiger talisman and silver armor order from Beijiang City."
Then, his brows furrowed again. He had seen the tiger talisman in Beijiang City before, but it didn't seem to be like this. He immediately picked up the tiger talisman and examined it carefully.
"It's fake! This is a fake tiger talisman. I'm afraid this silver armor order is also fake!" Wan Yunxiang was furious, and a terrifying aura surged out. "Mo Ruyan, you dare to play tricks on me with a fake tiger talisman? Do you really think I won't kill you?"
Mo Ruyan's face changed drastically. For a moment, she felt as if the sky had fallen. She shouted in disbelief, "The Tiger Talisman is fake? How could it be fake? It was something that Dad handed to me personally. How could it be fake? Dad told me personally that this was the Tiger Talisman and Silver Armor Token of Northern Frontier City. He told me to find a place to hide it and never let anyone know. He would never lie to me. It's impossible."
Lai Yang grabbed Mo Ruyan's hand, ready to take people away at any time.
Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to help Mo Ruyan take back the tiger talisman and the silver armor order, but he didn't expect that the two things turned out to be fake. What was going on?
Seeing Mo Ruyan acting like this, Wan Yunxiang became suspicious for a moment. Could it be that she didn't know that the tiger talisman and the silver armor order were fake?
Given her feelings for Lai Yang, it is unlikely that she would joke about their lives.
Then, there is only one possibility left, a possibility that no one has thought of.
Lord Mo deceived everyone!
Wan Yunxiang laughed in anger——
"Lord Mo, you are so cruel that you even abandoned your own daughter. You have deceived all of us."
