Jinghai City, though only a third-tier city in China, is famous for its beautiful scenery. Every year it attracts countless tourists, especially after the Battle of Jinghai ended, drawing even more visitors to pay their respects.
On the southwest side of Jinghai Lake stands a three-story building. A slender figure, dressed in a light blue dress, sits in a private room on the top floor, gazing with great interest at the scenery above Jinghai Lake. Previously, due to the rushed schedule, I hadn't had a chance to properly appreciate the view.
"Miss Wuyou, this is a special dish that I, the old man, have prepared for you. Please try it and see if it suits your taste." The door was gently pushed open, and Old Master Mo, dressed in a black Tang suit and looking very energetic, walked in, followed by a stream of people.
"Old Master Mo, it's been a long time. I didn't expect this place to be part of your Mo family's property." Wuyou's eyes flickered slightly; this was the person she had been waiting for.
"This is sugar-coated fish..." Old Master Mo sat opposite Wuyou, enthusiastically introducing the various dishes, while subtly observing Wuyou's expression.
Mo Qinglian sat quietly beside Old Master Mo, her eyes slightly lowered, seemingly lost in thought. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Old Master Mo came all the way to see Wuyou, I'm sure it wasn't just to help me introduce the dishes," Wuyou said, getting straight to the point after taking a few bites.
“Miss Wuyou is too kind. The Le family is a renowned ancient martial arts family, and we dare not presume to associate with them.” Old Master Mo’s eyes flickered slightly, as if he were somewhat embarrassed.
This means you really have this idea. Wuyou pursed her lips into a straight line, her expression indifferent. "Whether it's a matter of climbing the social ladder or not is not up to you, but up to me."
This meant they had agreed. Old Master Mo's eyes lit up. Ye Fan's fate was uncertain, and he was on the Le family's blacklist. Most importantly, news of Ye Fan possessing a secret treasure had spread, and all the families had mobilized, even reclusive old monsters. Their Mo family had a past with Ye Fan and could easily become a target. To ensure their safety, they had to make a choice and find another way out.
With one being willing and the other interested, the two quickly struck up a conversation and enjoyed each other's company immensely.
Sitting beside her, Mo Qinglian remained calm. She had always known the cruelty of large families. Ye Fan was a good person, but not good enough for her to abandon her family. If Ye Fan had feelings for her, perhaps she could fight for that sliver of true love, but unfortunately, he had no interest in her now.
Without Ye Fan as their backer, the Mo family must find an even bigger backer if they want to maintain their family's power or even rise to a higher level.
Wuyou was of noble birth and spoke with exceptional eloquence, which inexplicably fostered a sense of goodwill towards her, making her the best choice. A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and Mo Qinglian joined Elder Mo's discussion.
Those who are obsessed with love are, after all, a minority.
"Grandpa Mo, I heard that after the Battle of Jinghai, Ye Fan fell into the sea and disappeared without a trace, and Master Mu perished. I wonder if it's true?" Wu Yu picked up a cup of Da Hong Pao tea and took a couple of sips, speaking as if it were unintentional.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Qinglian unconsciously straightened her back. It had finally arrived.
“That’s right.” Old Master Mo nodded, a knowing glint in his cloudy old eyes. Since he was willing to become Le Wuyou’s pawn, there was nothing more to say. Loyalty was the only truth.
"He just fell into the sea. There's no body, which means he's still alive. My Le family has issued a kill order. Ye Fan possesses a great treasure, but Jinghai City is, after all, your Mo family's territory. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. I wonder if the Mo family is willing to give us their full assistance?" Wu Yu slid some water on his finger across the table, his casual tone tinged with coldness.
How could they possibly have the right to refuse? Remembering the consequences of offending the Le family, the Mo family grandfather and grandson closed their eyes slightly. This was something they had already decided on, but Wuyou's aggressive approach was truly surprising. It seemed the Le family didn't value Ye Fan in the usual way. Or rather, Wuyou didn't value him in the usual way.
"Of course, I will immediately send people to begin the search. Once found, kill them without mercy." Old Master Mo picked up a cup of tea and drank it down, his old eyes filled with ruthlessness.
"Very well, then I'll wait for news from Old Master Mo. By the way, this person is Ye Fan's lover, and also a servant of my Le family. If you see her, please take good care of her for me." Wuyou's lips curled slightly as she pushed a photograph in front of the Mo family grandfather and grandson. Her meaning was clear. She knew Ye Fan wouldn't die so easily, but even ants can kill an elephant, and this swarm of ants would be enough to give him a headache.
"I have important business to attend to and will be leaving soon. Let me know immediately if you have any news." With that, Wuyou waved goodbye and left without a trace.
As the sun sets in the west, the bustling crowds on the streets fill the small rented room with their noise and activity.
Inside the room, which was about fifty square meters, lay a pale-faced man on a thin wooden bed. His upper body was bare, revealing his thin but muscular physique. He had a handsome face and fair skin, just like the most popular pretty boy at the moment.
The door creaked open gently, and a slender woman stepped in, her face covered by an unsightly mask. Her forehead was glistening with sweat, the dim sunlight adding a touch of color to her complexion.
"Brother Ye Fan, drink your medicine quickly!" She gently helped the man sit up and patiently fed him spoonful by spoonful, a soft smile playing on her lips. She never expected to run into him again; it seemed even heaven was on her side.
Ye Fan had saved her back then, and his powerful, irresistible presence was unforgettable. Heroes love beauties, and beauties naturally love heroes, especially since she was alone and needed strong support. Reaching out to touch her lower abdomen, a deep hatred flashed in Green Tea's eyes. "Le Wuyou, you bitch, I'll make you pay!" Because she had no connections in Jinghai City, Green Tea was currently completely isolated, oblivious to her situation.
"Cough cough—" Ye Fan, who had been unconscious for almost a day, finally opened his eyes. He coughed lightly twice, and his face became a little rosy. His eyes rolled around as he observed his surroundings, but his mind was still a little confused.
He remembered that he was in the middle of a fierce battle with Mu Qingfeng when suddenly his head went blank and his vision went black. It was in that blink of an eye that he missed his chance and was able to let that old man find his weakness and get hit hard with a palm. However, the other party did not get the better of him either; he was either dead or crippled.
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind racing. For the past month, he had been hunted by countless people, seemingly becoming an enemy of humanity overnight. His pursuers ranged from experts to weaklings, a diverse mix. While he wasn't afraid, the sheer number of pursuers was overwhelming, leaving him overwhelmed and unable to help but suspect that someone was targeting him.
Ye Fan closed his eyes slightly, and the spiritual energy around him surged rapidly, rushing into his body, which gradually recovered.
Downstairs, a group of people had already gathered. They exchanged glances, realizing they shared the same goal, and tacitly went upstairs to find the person. A series of crackling sounds followed, accompanied by a woman's screams, and a battle began.
A moment later, the blood-soaked man and the woman stole a car and fled, pursued closely by a group of people.
