Chapter 135
===================
Mogo paused, as if considering how to say it in a way that Lianyun would be more receptive to.
"But this is the idea of my family. If you want to join, I'm afraid I can't do anything."
Mogo smiled with a hint of regret.
The meaning behind his words was clear: he didn't want to get involved in this industry.
Lian Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I don't have such an idea either."
The few of them quickly arrived in front of a tavern with a red sign. Mogo pushed the door open and gestured for them to come in.
Lian Yun nodded politely to him and walked in.
This is a relatively private pub, with no lobby and only private rooms. Upon entering, you'll see a reception desk and a spacious corridor lined with vibrant, colorful murals.
The tavern owner has a unique aesthetic.
Behind the front desk are various wine barrels.
A woman dressed like a waitress was standing at the front desk. When she saw Mogo, her face lit up with joy.
"Master Mogo!"
"Same old."
The woman nodded repeatedly and smiled as she led everyone to the room at the end of the corridor.
She stretched out her hand, and the bracelet on her wrist seemed to react with the door. With a "click", the door opened.
"Please wait, guests. Your drinks will be here soon."
The woman walked out of the room with a smile, leaving the four people behind.
The room is not close to the street and is very quiet. The only ventilation in the whole room is a small skylight above the head.
But the room did not feel stuffy or confined, as if some aromatherapy was placed somewhere, and every breath made people feel refreshed and relaxed.
Lian Yun looked around. The room only had two rows of leather double sofas facing each other, with a low dark wood-grain coffee table in the middle.
“The scent comes from the walls.”
As if knowing what Lian Yun was thinking, Mo Ge asked her to sit down and then slowly began to explain.
Lian Yun nodded: "Very unique."
Mogo smiled knowingly, "It's made from the tears of a succubus. Every succubus has a different scent, so each fragrance is rare in the world. How can it not be unique? If you're interested, I can find another one for you."
Lian Yun raised his eyebrows: "That's not necessary."
"Be frank. What do you want from me?" Lian Yun didn't want to waste time talking to the other party. If Lana came back and found that he had been away from the town for too long, he would definitely be worried.
Mogo didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward. He looked at the female companion beside him, clenched his fist and coughed lightly.
"I heard that you are from the Sun Moon Sect?"
As if afraid of misunderstanding, Mogo quickly explained, "It's not that I meant to snoop. The name you left behind was already spread throughout the auction house that night."
"I don't have any other intentions in getting to know you. I just heard that your church's business covers a wide range?"
Lian Yun silently pondered what his "business coverage" meant.
"If you say we want to eliminate violence and protect the people, I can reluctantly accept it. As for whether we will do other business, it depends on what you say." Lian Yun threw out this answer.
Judging from the other party's appearance, is he preparing to actively assign tasks to her Sun Moon Sect?
Mogo smiled and said, "Of course it's a good deed that serves the will of heaven."
"It's just that I think you are not short of money, so I don't know what conditions I should offer you." Mogo witnessed with his own eyes the little girl in white robes fighting with him for a ring last week, and realized that perhaps money could not impress the other party.
"If it's a good thing, I'll do it without charging a penny if I can." Lian Yun said calmly.
"Miss, you really have personality." Mogo smiled even more.
Lian Yun remained expressionless, but his mind was busy calculating.
joke.
Is it important for her to have Mogo’s connections, no matter how high the conditions are?
Helping is secondary. Lian Yun wants to establish a good relationship with Mogo so that it will be easier for him to understand the main city in the future.
"Before I explain things, I have something important to ask you." Mogo's smile faded and he became extremely serious.
"Are you a magician?"
Lian Yun effortlessly guessed the other party's concerns and immediately replied, "If you are not a magician or a noble, you will not befriend either of them."
She added at the end: "Same as you."
Not only will they not be on good terms, but there's a high likelihood of a fight.
Hearing Lian Yun's reply, Mo Ge's expression was much more relaxed: "That's great, I like dealing with people like you who understand."
"Look, the person next to me is my cousin, Alicia. She suddenly disappeared over ten years ago, and only found herself in the last six months."
"But my family has undergone a major change over the years. Originally there were more than a dozen candidates for the succession, but now, inexplicably, I am the only one left. Even my father was not spared." Mogo said with a sarcastic smile. "If the young lady was in the main city, you would have heard of it."
Seeing that the girl opposite did not respond, Mogo continued: "Cousin couldn't find her relatives, so she could only find me in the end."
Only then did he realize that Alicia had been cast under a spell, forgetting her memories before the age of twenty, and her body was dumped on a remote grassland.
Fortunately, a kind-hearted person met her, rescued her and took her home, where he took care of her until her injuries healed.
Alicia naturally fell in love with the kind-hearted man, married him, and gave birth to a daughter.
Unfortunately, the gentle and kind man died young, leaving his wife and daughter to live in that remote village.
Although Alicia has forgotten all her memories, she was infected by the character of her husband who had always taken care of her. Even after her husband left, she continued to show a gentle and kind image, teach her daughter, and treat other people in the family.
Until one day, she accidentally discovered that the little monster she had always taken care of as a family member was actually being used as a tool to make money by the whole village.
She was sad and afraid, and already had old injuries, and Alicia fell ill in fear.
But this serious illness helped her regain her memory.
She remembered her identity. She was one of the female successor candidates of the Hewlett family, the largest family in the main city besides the two major forces.
Because of her orthodox bloodline, she becomes a very competitive candidate.
When she thought back on all this, she naturally thought that Mogo might be the person with the most reason to hurt her.
But she still didn't believe it.
If she said that all the heirs wanted to kill her, she would believe it. But if she asked who was not involved, Alicia would definitely think it was Mogo.
She made the right bet.
Alicia gently waved the feather fan, and tears seemed to be about to fall in the beautiful fox eyes.
"I have nowhere to go."
The villagers' money-making methods should not be spread outside, but they dare to do so because they have the support of the main city.
Once she ran away, the news would inevitably leak out. The two major forces in the main city were spread across all the towns where people could survive.
Where could she run to?
"Even though I can bring my daughter out, the world is so big, but there's no place for us."
"I can only leave her in the village first, and pretend to come to the main city to take charge of the village's tasks."
She used a fake letter to sneak into the main city and took the opportunity to find Mogo before they found her.
With Mogo's character, even if his family would, he would never get involved with this kind of business.
"I was hiding the whole way, and I was lucky I didn't take my daughter with me. But as soon as I found Mogo, I stayed here in this shameful state, and Mogo immediately sent people back to look for me as quickly as possible..."
“…but my daughter is gone.”
"If I had known this would happen, I might as well take her with me." Alicia's eyes were filled with pain.
She regretted it so much.
Mogo silently gathered his cousin's clothes and looked at Lianyun again: "I can't leave the main city, but I can't ignore my cousin's child."
"My subordinates are also being closely watched by both the Association and the nobles. Any disturbance will attract their attention. The last time I sent people out of the city was risky enough. There is no way I can go about searching for them on a large scale again."
"That shameful activity is at least connected to their side. If they knew someone had escaped from the village, they would definitely be more vigilant."
"So," Mogo looked at the two of them earnestly, "I happened to hear the name of the Sun and Moon Cult last week. I hope you can help me find my cousin's daughter."
The more Lian Yun listened, the more familiar it sounded.
Dark dealings, exploited monsters, a daughter who lost her mother...
Listening to the other party's description, why does this sound more and more like something she had just experienced not long ago?
Lian Yun calmed his mind and did not intend to tell everyone what he knew immediately.
Lian Yun's eyes moved between the two of them. "Your cousin is so blatantly appearing in the crowd, and she's right next to you. Isn't she afraid of being discovered?"
"My cousin's appearance has changed." Mogo paused, seeming to find it difficult to speak. "...I usually change my female companions quite frequently. The most dangerous places are often the safest places. Even if they knew my cousin had fled to the main city, they would never have expected her to appear in such a conspicuous place."
Lian Yun: What a risky move.
She really didn't expect that such a passionate young master in the romantic world would also value family affection.
But considering Alicia and Mogo's current situation, this is indeed a good idea.
"But...I can't maintain this identity as cousin for much longer."
It is absolutely rare to stay with him for more than two weeks.
I guess someone will start investigating Alicia's background immediately after today.
so.
"If you have the ability, can you help my cousin leave the main city?"
Mogo lowered his head and said sincerely, "If you can help me, I will do my best to accomplish what you want."
"The only heir of the Hewlett family promises you."
Lian Yun certainly did not forget his identity. Wasn't it precisely for this identity that she came here this time?
"Before I agree, it wouldn't be too much to ask a few questions, would it?"
Mogo understood her decision, and even though he had never shown his emotions since he was a child, he couldn't help but be visibly happy.
"You ask."
"Since your family is considered to be on par with the other two major forces, and you are the only heir, why did you come to me for help?"
Even if he couldn't use his own connections, wouldn't it be difficult to use the connections of the previous generation and the generations before that?
Mogo's eyebrows drooped slightly.
“Sometimes the brightest side of a person may be the only thing he has.”
The man's beautiful eyes were covered by his feathery eyelashes, and a hint of coldness flashed across them.
"If you want to listen, I can tell you when I have the chance."
