Mo Li left a letter and departed, making Mo Han and Mo Chen extremely nervous. Seeing their solemn expressions, Hua Mulan also became worried, "He... he'll be alright, won't he?"
Mo Han glanced coldly at Hua Mulan without saying anything, while Mo Chen spoke calmly, "The barbarians have a very strong enemy that neither Mo Han nor I can contend with. Do you think Mo Li alone can defeat him?"
Hua Mulan's expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly asked, "It's so dangerous, why don't you go find him? What if something happens to him?"
Mo Han coldly looked at Hua Mulan and said, "Isn't this all your doing? If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have gone alone and would have concealed his presence!"
Hua Mulan was stunned by Mo Han's imposing aura.
Mo Chen sighed helplessly, "You rejected Mo Li, and he understood that your heart wasn't set on romantic love, so he simply chose to fulfill your wish... Perhaps it was out of his doting affection for you, and that he didn't want us outsiders to get involved..."
Hua Mulan clenched her fists, her heart aching terribly: "Mo Li, I rejected you so cruelly, yet you remained unchanged in your feelings for me. I have wronged you!"
——
And at this moment...
After the monk pulled up his pants, his chubby, fair face still looked quite young. His figure was somewhat clumsy, and his words carried a mix of sentimentality, naivety, and maturity.
Looking at Mo Li's handsome face with a hint of envy, she spoke in a condescending tone, "Young friend, your heart is set on doing good, and your purpose and original intention cannot be changed. You must not choose the wrong path!"
Mo Li rolled her eyes, but before she could say anything, she heard the earth tremble with the sound of horses' hooves. She hurriedly pulled Jin'erjia and the empty-headed monk into the nearby bushes...
The intense killing intent that emanated from the moment the wind picked up made Mo Li immediately wary.
The bandits from Black Dragon Mountain, riding wild horses with arrogant and rampant expressions and exuding a strong killing intent, dismounted when they arrived at a flat open field not far from Mo Li and the others.
"Prepare to set up camp, and we'll continue our journey early tomorrow morning!" said the refined-looking man, Gu Wenshu, as he dismounted.
"yes!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, but suddenly a discordant voice rang out:
"Hey, Fifth Brother, do you need to be so wary? As bandits from Black Dragon Mountain, are we afraid to walk at night?" Li Heng, a burly man with dark skin and a rugged appearance, said with displeasure.
"Fourth Brother, things haven't been peaceful lately, so we'd better be on guard." Gu Wenshu didn't say much, and went straight to a tent to crawl inside. "I'm a little tired from the journey, so I'll rest first."
Seeing that Gu Wenshu had left him outside, Li Heng angrily cursed, "This guy is really lawless because he's favored by my elder brother!"
As soon as Li Heng finished speaking, a thief ran up and asked, "Fourth Master, what should we do with those girls?"
Li Heng curled his lip and said, "Give them some food, and let them stay in the cages tonight!"
As he spoke, his gaze drifted toward the prison cart, and he suddenly noticed a pretty girl among them. Li Heng narrowed his eyes and said, "You, go and bring the prettiest one into my tent!"
Li Heng grinned lewdly. "I'm going to teach this little wench a lesson!"
"Hehe, yes! Fourth Master!"
Hiding in the jungle, Mo Li and the others looked at Li Heng with resentful eyes.
"Beast!" Mo Li frowned and spoke with a look of disdain.
"Scoundrel!"
Although Jin'erjia's path is different, she has her own bottom line.
"This is absolutely outrageous!" Kong ordered Mo Li in a fit of rage, "You brat, go and kill him right now! We can't let this kind of scum wreak havoc on the world!"
Mo Li was speechless. "You monk say you don't fight or kill, but when you encounter bandits and kidnappers, you act like they're your father's killer?"
"You know nothing! Women are the most virtuous and beautiful people in the world. If they are defiled by these people, what a terrible sin that would be! Even Buddha would not forgive them!" Kong said in a serious tone.
Mo Li's face darkened. He understood; this monk was a lecherous one! Before Mo Li could speak, Kong Liao pointed to the wine gourd on Mo Li's waist and said, "How about this? Give me your wine gourd, and I'll help you save those girls. Consider it a good deed you do!"
Mo Li rolled his eyes. Not only was he a lecherous monk, but he was probably also a drunkard!
As for the training that was left vacant, Mo Li naturally...
Glug glug—
Kong stared wide-eyed at Mo Li, who tilted his head back and downed the entire bottle of wine. Then, Mo Li elegantly wiped his mouth, handed him the wine gourd, and said:
"Here you are, your wine gourd!"
That smiling face was just like a cunning and treacherous fox!
"You, you, you, you—" He was too breathless to speak!
"Didn't you want my wine gourd? I gave it to you!" Mo Li blinked her big eyes with a smile.
In Kong's eyes, there was always a wicked smile on his face.
Kong's lips twitched. Ma Bi, he'd traveled all over the country for years, and while he might not have swindled countless people, he'd at least never been tricked! Although he wasn't a monk, as a storyteller and a master of deception in the world of language, how could he be so easily fooled by this young lad!
I was the one who was just tricking him!
Immediately, Kong Liao glared at Mo Li, his lips twitching involuntarily. Suppressing his anger, he said, "No, no need, you can keep it yourself!"
Mo Li's lips curled up as he saw the vortex of energy surrounding Kong Le and immediately understood. "I told you, Master Kong Le, monks don't lie. What you say must be fulfilled!"
After a while, he grew impatient and said, "You cunning fellow, I'm too lazy to argue with you!"
As he spoke, he wanted to leave as soon as he had a free moment, and just walk away!
Mo Li wasn't about to let him leave. She grabbed him by the back of his collar and grinned wickedly. "Master, it would be better if you finished your business before you left. The girls are waiting for you to rescue them!"
Before Kong could react, Mo Li flung him aside, sending him crashing directly into the prison cart where the girls were being held.
"Who goes there?!"
Kong was thrown around by Mo Li and was completely disoriented, but because he was fat, he was not seriously injured. He struggled to get up and found himself surrounded by bandits with knives pointed at him.
Kong felt a little scared afterward, but he wasn't a coward; he immediately became serious.
"Amitabha Buddha, Heaven cherishes life. I am Kong Liao, a disciple of Nuwa, and I am here on Nuwa's orders to save all sentient beings..."
"Bullshit! If you were a god, would you fall flat on your face?" A petty thief rolled his eyes and said.
"I think you're a complete liar!"
"I heard there's been a storyteller charlatan lately, pretending to be a highly virtuous monk. Could you be him?"
Kong's mouth twitched. "How did these guys know?"
wrong!
It's all that Mo Li's fault. He messed up his own entrance. How the hell are we going to continue this act?
Seeing this from afar, Mo Li laughed so hard he almost choked. "This fatso was still pretending with me, but I saw through his true colors with just one use of the Soul Painting Eye! This guy..."
Just then, Gu Wenshu came out, frowning as he asked, "What's all this commotion about?"
Mo Li looked up at Gu Wenshu and her eyes widened immediately. "Shen, Shen Wei?!"
