The maid bowed slightly and said, "Reporting to the Palace Master, the visitors are not the chosen ones. They say they are from the Underworld and have come to confirm something..."
Wu Mei shuddered, her wine glass trembled slightly, and the wine spilled onto most of the table.
"They've arrived? They've arrived..." Wu Mei murmured to herself, somewhat lost in thought.
"Palace Master?" the maid asked worriedly.
With a wry smile, she said, "Never mind, let them in."
"Come in?" The maid looked at Wu Mei with a puzzled expression.
She had been serving Wumei for ten years, but she had never seen Wumei bring any men into her room! This time, however, things were different, and she was even planning to let all those men in. How could this not pique her curiosity?
“Yes, bring them here.” Wu Mei put down the blanket and spoke without room for argument.
"Yes! I'll bring the person in right away." The maid nodded and said.
She stood up, went to the candlestick, and lit the candle to illuminate the room. The dim candlelight made the red-filled room look romantic and warm.
Just then, Gu Liyan, Mo Chen, Wu Wenfeng, and Jin Yi walked in.
Hearing the door open, Wu Mei knew it was Gu Liyan. With her back to them, she smiled and said:
"I knew you might come to me after you recovered from your injuries, but I didn't expect you to heal so quickly after being hit by my Frenzy Dance."
Gu Liyan remained silent, but Jin Yi discerned something: "You were responsible for Gu Shengjun's injuries?!"
"Ancient Sage? It seems you're hiding something from me, from the woman you love, little fox!" The alluring woman gave a bitter smile. "That's true. How many men in this world are truly loyal? As a demon, it's not easy for you to love someone..."
Hearing the alluring voice, Mo Chen frowned slightly; the familiar voice made him somewhat suspicious.
"I came here for no other reason..."
Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, Wu Mei laughed heartily, "Haha, you came here hoping I could lend you a hand, right? You want the support of Wanbao Palace, don't you?"
With a cold expression, she looked out the window at the brightly lit sky and said, "Wake up! This world has already been taken over by someone else, and it's beyond saving! No matter how many people your Nine Springs Realm sends, it won't make a difference!"
Gu Liyan frowned slightly. "How will we know if we don't try?"
"What a hopeful little fox. How much time do you think you have left to concern yourself with worldly affairs?" She turned around and looked at Gu Liyan with a charming sneer.
The moment Mo Chen saw Wu Mei, his whole body trembled. "You...it's you!"
Wu Mei was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Mo Chen would also come with Gu Liyan.
Mo Chen excitedly stepped forward, "Hua'er, Hua'er, is it really you?"
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen's excited expression, lowered her eyes slightly, and said nothing.
She looked at Mo Chen with a bittersweet joy on her face, raised her hand to gently stroke Mo Chen's cheek, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time. You've grown up, Xiao Chen."
"I thought I'd never see you again!" Mo Chen exclaimed, pulling Mo Hua into his arms with overwhelming emotion. "I never expected to find you here!"
Mo Hua smiled slightly, "Yes, I also thought I would never see you again."
At this point, Mo Chen seemed to remember something, turned his head, pointed at Gu Liyan, and said, "Oh right, let me introduce you. This is Jin Yi, a Heavenly Guard of Tianfu. This is my younger brother, Wu Wenfeng. This is Mo Li, my..."
Mo Chen choked, unable to continue speaking...
Gu Liyan is his current companion weapon master, but Mo Hua is also his companion weapon master. According to the rules of the Nine Springs Realm, a companion weapon cannot have two masters! Yet these two masters have met here in this way.
For a moment, Mo Chen dared not speak out.
“I am his brother!” Gu Liyan said with a smile, but his eyes were filled with bitterness.
Mo Chen was slightly taken aback, and his gaze instinctively darted away from Gu Liyan.
Mo Hua listened to Gu Liyan's words and simply nodded slightly. She knew that Gu Liyan was from the Nine Springs Realm, but she did not know that he was now the master of Mo Chen's companion weapon.
Moreover, the reason Gu Liyan was covered in injuries was because of her intervention. If she hadn't softened her heart in the end, Gu Ji, who had once been in the Nine Springs Realm, would probably have killed Gu Liyan in public to silence her.
Gu Liyan did not elaborate on the feud between the two, and Mo Hua dared not bring it up either.
She was afraid of displeasing Mo Chen and being abandoned again...
Mo Chen glanced at the room's layout and paused slightly. "You still like everything from before...it hasn't changed..."
Mo Hua smiled wryly and lowered his eyes slightly. "Yes, but the old things are still better."
Mo Chen glanced at the two wine glasses on the table, his heart tightening. "You're still the same as before, never forgetting to pour yourself another glass when you drink..."
Once, that glass of wine belonged to him. Every time Mo Hua returned from a mission, she would drink a pot of wine, with Mo Chen by her side, keeping her company. But this time, and on many more occasions, with whom could she share this cup?
Mo Hua looked at Mo Chen, just smiled and said nothing.
Wu Wenfeng whispered in Gu Liyan's ear, "Brother Gu, are you sure this person isn't my sister-in-law?"
Gu Liyan couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. The Painting Soul Eye could see that both of them had feelings for each other, but they were helpless against the ruthlessness of the rules.
According to the rules of the Nine Springs Realm, the companion of the artifact and its owner must not have the ceremony of tying their hair together!
“They can’t be together,” Gu Liyan said, glancing at Mo Chen and the other person.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Hua Qing'er walked in with a cold face. "Mother, please have some self-respect!"
Mo Hua was slightly taken aback. Seeing Hua Qing'er walk in, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Who allowed you to come in? Get out!"
