Chapter 255 You really want to stop me?
I was careless.
The divine sense failed to detect anyone rushing in, and the person bumped right into them.
At this moment, the three cultivators chasing Mu Jianjian also arrived at the scene. Seeing that the girl was being stopped by the man in black, they were terrified and immediately knelt down and said, "Please forgive us, Master. We failed in our duty and failed to capture Baili Yicheng alive. We also let this culprit escape."
These words did not reach Baili Mochen's ears. He just stared eagerly at the girl in front of him, raising his hand again and again but not daring to touch her, for fear that what he was experiencing was an unrealistic dream.
How long has it been since he last saw Jianjian?
It wasn't until the girl's cold voice, "What is it, young master?" that he was jolted out of his reverie. There was no gentle whisper, only the blunt questioning between strangers.
Should he be glad that Jianjian doesn't know his identity and what he's done, or should he be disappointed?
Upon hearing the cultivator's reply behind her, Mu Jianjian frowned slightly without showing any emotion. She then used her pupil-shifting technique to land behind the man, continuing her footsteps without stopping.
But the next second, an ink blob appeared in front of her, splitting into fragments that flowed into her body—
Using a single point to influence the whole—this is the secret technique of the man, Baili Mochen!
She whirled around, dispersing her inner energy with one hand and pointing the Rain Ruler at Baili Mochen's neck with the other. "What does Young Master intend to do?"
Mu Jianjian said, word by word, "Don't block me."
Calm, indifferent, and cold.
This is the way she looks at him.
And there seems to be a hidden meaning in the words.
An uncontrollable pain welled up in Baili Mochen's heart. He realized something, but his expression remained unchanged. "The young lady attacked Baili Yicheng. In principle, she should be questioned."
Jianjian isn't like that.
She was gentle, polite, lively, and kind to strangers, but now she's like this... she must have found out something.
Baili Mochen's eyes turned cold. "Do you know who I am?"
Mu Jianjian slowly lowered her hand holding the Rain Ruler, letting out a soft sigh, "You already know the answer, so why ask?"
After falling into the sand cave, she had some suspicions. But upon closer reflection, her initial encounter with "Yun Rong" and their subsequent master-disciple relationship were not accidental.
Moreover, when the two tried to escape that day, they were caught by Baili Yicheng who happened to appear. Although on the surface it was Zhuang Mei who held a grudge and secretly passed on the message, at such a coincidental and urgent time, was there any other possibility besides Yun Rong sending the message?
Therefore, Yun Rong is actually Baili Mochen. From the very beginning, he wanted to use her identity to stir up trouble at Duyunfang in order to achieve his goal of taking power.
She poured her heart and soul into it, but she was nothing more than a pawn.
"You don't want to acknowledge me?" Baili Mochen asked with a wry smile.
Yes, he schemed against her to such an extent. With Jianjian's personality, how could she forgive him?
“Yes,” Mu Jianjian readily admitted, “you don’t need to look so aggrieved, after all, we were originally strangers.”
Since everything in the past was fake, there's no need to bring it up.
Now she just wants to get as far away from Mo Chen as possible, and then go find her senior brother.
"Your friend is with me." Baili Mochen watched the girl's retreating figure without hesitation, a shadow passing over his eyes.
Mu Jianjian's hands, which were hanging by her sides, clenched tightly. She turned around and asked, "What do you mean by saying this now?"
Wanxing of the Wood Spirit Clan.
He knew all along.
"If you leave with me, I will let her go." Baili Mochen raised his hand, and a small dark circle quietly appeared at his fingertip, exuding a hint of murderous aura.
"Do you think I'll compromise like this?" Mu Jianjian stared intently at him, as if she had never truly seen him before. "You've become the new head of the workshop, what else do you need from me?"
She didn't think she was still of any use to Baili Mochen.
Baili Mochen's faint smile vanished quickly, his dark eyes as cold as an icy pool, revealing a fragile and bloodshot look.
In Jianjian's eyes, was his desire to keep her only for personal gain...?
"I never intended to hurt you." His lips were a little chapped, but his words were clear.
Mu Jianjian increasingly wanted to leave the Red Chamber, and she no longer believed a single word the fourth man opposite her said.
As for Wan Xing... it's unlikely there will be any surprises anytime soon.
"Sealing the air with ink, not a single one—"
Seeing that the girl was about to use her pupil-changing technique to leave, Baili Mochen's cold eyes shot out like arrows, blocking her way.
"Are you really going to stop me?"
The atmosphere between the two was oppressive, tense, and on the verge of exploding, when suddenly a childish voice rang out.
"Sister Mu!" A little girl with pigtails ran out from the corner, her slightly moist eyes looking at the girl. "Baili... Brother didn't mean to lie to you, it's all because of me..."
Mu Jianjian looked at Shan Chuxue wiping away her tears and sobbing, and suddenly spoke up, "I once saw a family's special secret technique in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm. That secret technique can change a person's bones and muscles, turning a man into a woman and an old man into a young man."
She and Sang Wanyue fought against Shangguan Laogu at that time.
Despite being over a hundred years old, he looks like a child and uses paper to manifest his thoughts, a rather ingenious method.
Shan Chuxue paused in her act of wiping away tears.
"If I'm not mistaken, your surname isn't Shan, is it?" Seeing the child's unusual expression, she knew she had guessed correctly again. "Shangguan Chuxue?"
