Sword Mountain Tournament 8 Illusion of Illusion III
Cong Mo slept on the ground as she said, and left in the middle of the night after the servant reported him.
Leng Can closed his eyes and pretended not to hear their conversation.
"Miss, Master Yu is clamoring to see you, saying..."
The servant covered his mouth and lowered his voice, "My stomach feels uncomfortable. I'm afraid it's the baby in my belly..."
"Can we call the imperial physician? Nothing must happen to the child." Cong Mo was calm. He went out of the house with the servants and gently knocked on the door.
He turned over and didn't take it to heart. The Cong Mo here was not his Cong Mo, so why should he care about it.
Children, marriage, everything is fake. If Cong Mo wants to practice the way of ruthlessness, how can he enter the secular world and linger on him?
Cong Mo cannot like him, let alone marry him.
Leng Can shook his head, trying to throw away his complicated thoughts. So what if Cong Mo didn't like him? He wouldn't like Cong Mo either.
For him, befriending Cong Mo and seducing her was just to pull her down from the altar and make her become a heretic, so that he could make a comeback from the painful journey he had experienced since childhood.
He must defeat Cong Mo and make her ruthless and unreliable.
.
He slept very poorly that night, half asleep and half awake. He kept dreaming of Cong Mo and him lying on the lawn when they were little, looking at the stars and chatting about unrealistic things like the sky and dreams. Cong Mo was not talkative, so he shared with her the new knowledge he had learned in school and told her where he had made progress, which made her feel a sense of crisis of being surpassed.
"Madam, madam!"
The dream came to an abrupt end. He was awakened by Xiao Yi, who pulled his arm and said, "Madam, get up. According to etiquette, we have to go and offer tea to the general's mother. The general has also instructed that he will summon everyone in the mansion this morning to announce an important matter, and you must attend."
He was still not used to seeing his senior brother when he opened his eyes. He always felt like he was being dragged to the training ground to practice sword skills.
"I know! I know!" Leng Can rubbed his eyes and got up. The traces of Cong Mo's sleep on the ground yesterday had long disappeared. "Where is General Cong?"
"The general has been waiting in the hall long ago." Xiao Ying sat him down in front of the dressing table to tie his hair. "Madam, you must call the general 'husband.'"
"I'm not used to it yet." Leng Can was not interested. It seemed that Cong Mo had never come back since she left last night. She spent the night with the so-called "Mr. Yu".
It’s so sweet!
But he didn't care about Cong Mo and others last night. When he woke up, the illusion didn't change at all. Why was that? Could it be that the illusion test was different from what he expected?
"Xiao Yu, is there anyone else in the hall?"
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so. I hurried to call you after hearing your instructions, and didn't pay much attention."
Half an hour later, the two appeared in the hall, where Cong's mother had been waiting for a long time.
After Leng Can served the tea and listened to Cong's mother's instructions, Cong Mo took him to the backyard. The servants who were whispering to each other suddenly fell silent and lowered their heads.
Cong Mo held Leng Can's hand and said, "We had our wedding yesterday. I'm sure everyone has seen my wife and knows how much I care about her. From today on, all matters in the mansion, big or small, will be handed over to her. All matters will be handled by her. No matter whether I'm here or not, she's the most important person in charge of the mansion. In the mansion, her power is above mine. As long as it's her order, no one shall disobey."
Repeating the order over and over again was considered a great honor and prestige for Leng Can.
"Say a few words." Cong Mo smiled at him gently.
Leng Can took a few steps forward and said, "From now on, we will have to work together to handle matters in the mansion, so that the general will have no worries."
This was what she promised him, and Leng Can had no reason not to accept it.
"Madam, the general truly loves you, willing to give you such great power." Xiao Yi showed an envious expression, "I really hope that I can meet someone who only loves me in the future."
"My eyes are full of you..." Leng Can rolled his eyes and imitated him.
If he knew the truth, he wouldn't think so.
Xiao Yi said coquettishly, "Madam..."
"What's the meaning of Madam..." Leng Can was extremely annoyed. He picked a flower and put it on his head. "I'd rather study hard than spend this time having hallucinations. Later..."
"See you, ma'am."
The man in front of him held his stomach, and the servant beside him supported him and bowed slightly to Leng Can.
Leng Can thought about this person for a long time but couldn't figure it out. "You are..."
"Madam." Xiao Yi tugged at him and whispered in his ear, "This is the man who blocked the horse yesterday and forced the general to stop. Why is he here?"
Leng Can narrowed his eyes, his face showing no emotion, but his heart was already surging.
Here it comes, here it comes, the key plot in the storybook is here! Those tricks he learned to punish evildoers finally come in handy.
"You must be Master Yu, right?" Leng Can stepped forward and helped him up. "I heard that the general has arranged for you to stay in the side hall. How is the environment? Do you want me to move you to another place?"
Young Master Yu was extremely apprehensive. "The General is willing to arrange a place for me to stay, and I am already very satisfied. How could I bother you, Madam? I hope you won't be angry with me today and think it's bad luck."
What a pitiful person.
Leng Can suppressed the urge to curse, "It's okay, after all, Young Master Yu is pregnant with the general's child, and the general also said that he would give the child to me after it is born, so it counts as half of my child."
He deliberately ignored the strange anger in Master Yu's eyes and continued, "I'm not a generous person. I wouldn't cherish a lover who is not worthy of being on the stage. If it weren't for your precious belly, I really wouldn't have to keep you until now."
"Madam, what you said is really chilling!" Master Yu held his wrist tightly, "Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"Retribution?" Leng Can seemed amused by him. "Mr. Yu, emotionally, the general and I were engaged as children and have known each other since childhood, yet you seduced him and got him pregnant. This is wrong on your part. Logically, I am the general's legal wife, and you are just a shameful thing hidden in the courtyard. There is no logic to this. You are the one who should be punished."
He pulled Master Yu's hand away and said, "Just give birth to the baby."
"You!" Yu Gongzi's eyes were filled with jealousy. The moment Leng Can let go of his hand, he fell backwards, holding his stomach and yelling, "Madam, the general has given you the power. Why do you treat me like this?"
The servant beside her was very considerate and shouted, "Madam, my son is still pregnant, why are you so vicious?"
Leng Can: “…”
Unexpectedly, he actually encountered the climax of the story.
Xiao Yu was unconvinced and stepped forward to confront the two men, "My wife didn't touch you at all. Stop talking nonsense and wrongly accusing my wife."
"How could she not have touched him? What evidence do you have to prove it?" The servant beside Master Yu's eyes were red. "Although my master is not favored, she is at least pregnant with the general's child!"
Xiao Qi's face turned pale with anger, "You, you!"
"That's enough, Xiaoli." Leng Can still had a decent smile on his face, looking down at them as if he were watching a clown's performance, "We really don't have any evidence to prove that we don't have any ill will towards Master Yu."
"lady…"
Leng Can approached the two of them, acting like the head of a family, and squatted down. "But no one can prove that you have ever been here."
When Cong Mo and his men arrived, only Leng Can and Xiao Yu were there admiring the flowers. "What's wrong, General?"
Cong Mo looked around with a strange expression, "I just heard someone shouting."
"General, I'm afraid you heard wrong." Leng Can said contentedly, "It's only Xiaoyue and I here from the beginning to the end."
"Maybe." Cong Mo nodded and smiled, "Madam, the mansion has just received a batch of cakes made by a famous chef in the palace. Why don't you go and try some together?"
"OK!"
As the group left together, no one noticed that two people were struggling to climb up from the pond in the distance.
————
"You can actually escape from the dream?"
"If you can't escape us, there's no need to practice the Way of Mercy anymore!"
"I underestimated you!" The woman flew onto a branch. "You found me, but it was only thanks to your ice hockey that I escaped!"
"She didn't escape." Cong Mo controlled his sword and chased after her. His speed was so fast that the woman had nowhere to escape. She was hit on the calf and fell to the ground.
Cong Mo turned her wrist, and the sharp sword immediately flew back into her hand. She raised the sword to the woman's neck.
"Don't you think this would save time and energy?" the woman tried to struggle. "We could wait out the competition together, or kill them in their dreams. We could work together and get twice the result with half the effort. Don't you, the Merciless Dao, have to finish in the top three to have a chance to stay in Xianshan? What do you think?"
"I feel..." Cong Mo leaned over, grabbed her hand hidden in her pocket, and pinched her wrist. The pain made her drop the spirit stone in her hand, "Ah...it hurts..."
As she screamed, Cong Mo shook his head, "...No, it's too slow. If it weren't for this damn illusion, I could kill her even faster. Besides, I have enough strength and don't bother taking advantage of others in distress."
"Wait!" A shout suddenly came from behind. Cong Mo was focused and slashed down with his sword without even turning his head.
When Leng Can arrived, only a wisp of fairy smoke remained. "Xiao Mo, do you know it's me?"
"I know." Cong Mo picked up the spirit stone that had caused everyone to fall asleep, held it in his hand, and crushed it with his spirit power. "Everyone should be awake now."
Leng Can was frightened by her coercive methods, "Why did you crush it?"
"It's a burden to carry with you. If you let anyone else fall into a dream, I won't show mercy."
"Did you just hear my voice?"
"I heard." Cong Mo tossed him a spirit stone. "This spirit stone allows her to travel between two illusions. She's already used it twice out of three chances. There's only one left. Keep it, just in case."
Leng Can put away the spirit stone, "Xiao Mo, don't you want to know why I stopped you from killing her?"
"You want to know the reason for the illusion." Cong Mo pulled him towards the mark on the spirit stone.
"What is it?" Leng Can couldn't figure it out. He dragged Master Yu and the other man into the water, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back here.
"Fear." Cong Mo stared at the white clouds drifting in the distance. "It's what scares us."
Leng Can was confused, so he was...afraid that Cong Mo would marry him?
