The tea in the cup is steaming, releasing a delicate fragrance that is refreshing and delightful...
However, the tea server frowned and reluctantly drank the tea in one gulp, the scalding hot tea instantly turning his face bright red.
"If you're not in the mood for tea, then don't waste this good tea!" Mo Chen glared at Wu Wenfeng with displeasure, then cursed, "After all this time, you're still a spendthrift!"
As he spoke, Mo Chen snatched the teapot from Wu Wenfeng's hand, poured himself a cup, and drank it down in one gulp.
Seeing Mo Chen's actions, Wu Wenfeng couldn't help but move closer:
"Brother, were Gu Liyan's meridians really all shattered by that Shadow Hall master? Even the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill can't cure him? Is there any way to salvage the situation? And also, are we just going to let the Shadow Hall go like this?"
Mo Chen frowned and poured himself another cup of tea, glancing at Wu Wenfeng with disdain. "Do you know how much I've hated your inquisitive nature since I was little?"
Wu Wenfeng didn't care at all about Mo Chen's disdainful look. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Hehe, big brother, it's been so long, but you still know me so well!"
Mo Chen glared at Wu Wenfeng. "You've always liked to cling to me since we were little, which is why I chose to go out and make my own way in the world. If you keep clinging to me, I won't show my face in front of you again!"
"Huh? Big brother, you're leaving again? No, judging from your relationship with Brother Gu, I don't think you'd abandon him!" Wu Wenfeng analyzed seriously. "You must be thinking of getting revenge on Brother Gu once he recovers! That's how we got revenge when we were bullied by the Wen family disciples before!"
Mo Chen's hand froze. The memories of the past had gradually faded from his mind, and he didn't even know how to speak to his younger brother...
—I've actually died once already!
Mo Chen downed his hot tea in one gulp and said without changing his expression, "Gu Liyan and I are just ordinary friends..."
“But since he’s a friend, shouldn’t you care about him more, brother?” Wu Wenfeng said, revealing the secret.
Mo Chen was speechless. The Wu family has always subdued people with martial arts. Apart from occasionally producing a clever and resourceful person, who knew that this generation would have such a thing!
Mo Chen glared at Wu Wenfeng with displeasure. "I don't want to talk to you right now. You better be quiet for a while!"
Wu Wenfeng choked, covering his mouth and daring not to speak again.
Seeing that he obediently shut his mouth, Mo Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at the steaming tea in front of him, he sighed repeatedly. He never imagined that Gu Liyan would offend the man known as "Death God Yama"! If he had known earlier that An Qianshan was the leader of the Shadow Hall organization, he would have stopped Gu Liyan in some way, and things wouldn't have come to this.
However, as far as he knew, An Qianshan was known for his ruthlessness and was skilled in cunning, having once shone brightly in the Wanbao Palace. If it was true that the money and connections he had amassed were for the purpose of building the Shadow Hall, then it would not be surprising...
However, Mo Chen was puzzled. Although An Qianshan was ruthless, he wasn't an ungrateful person. Logically speaking, Gu Liyan had saved An Qianbai, so it was impossible for him to betray his own daughter for a small fry, let alone kill Gu Liyan! So why was he so cruel to Gu Liyan...?
"Big brother! Big brother!" Wu Wenfeng called out to Mo Chen, who was in a daze.
Mo Chen snapped out of his daze. The teacup had already overflowed, and the scalding tea had turned his palms bright red.
"Ahem, big brother, actually... actually you're still quite worried about Gu Liyan, aren't you?" Wu Wenfeng suppressed a laugh and couldn't help but speak up.
Mo Chen glared at Wu Wenfeng, stood up, and sighed, "It's been five days, and he still hasn't woken up. To say I'm not worried is absolutely a lie!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Yi walked in from outside carrying large and small bags of medicinal herbs. Seeing the serious and solemn expressions on Mo Chen and Wu Wenfeng's faces, he couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"Why do you all look so pale? Could it be that Gu Liyan hasn't woken up yet?"
"Ah, you're right, he hasn't woken up yet." Mo Chen sighed with a gloomy expression.
"Huh? He hasn't woken up yet? How is that possible? He's already taken the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill; he should have woken up a few days ago." Jin Yi thought for a moment and then spoke:
"By the way, have you seen Anle from Shadow Hall? When I passed by her room on my way back, I noticed her bed was very neatly made."
Mo Chen was startled and suddenly thought of something. He closed his eyes to sense Gu Liyan's aura, and then froze on the spot.
Looking at Mo Chen's expression, Wu Wenfeng asked in confusion, "Big brother, what happened?"
Mo Chen sighed, "That guy Gu Liyan must have had An Le take him back to the Shadow Hall as soon as he woke up! To avoid implicating you and me, he didn't even let us know he was awake!"
Wu Wenfeng and Jin Yi looked on in astonishment...
——
Meanwhile, Gu Liyan and An Le secretly returned to the Shadow Hall. Looking at the high walls and the tight layout around them, Gu Liyan couldn't help but curse, "That old bastard must have known I would wake up in the next few days and guessed that I would bring An Le back. It seems that all of them were waiting to catch me!"
Anle glanced at Gu Liyan and said, "Even if you can get in, it won't help. We have no idea where the young lady is being held."
Gu Liyan frowned and turned to look at An Le, clenching his fists and saying with a look of resentment, "Are you telling me to give up and go back? I'm already here, I won't be satisfied if I don't see her!"
