Why is Mo Yu here?!
Shen Yebai turned around in a disheveled state, countless thoughts swirling in his mind, but he rejected them all.
The unexpected meeting made Shen Yebai keenly aware of the problems with this operation. As expected, Shen Mo was just as he thought, with ill intentions. However, Shen Yebai was more afraid of Qin Moyu getting hurt than of being in danger himself.
"What exactly happened? Didn't he go back to the Southern Kingdom with Chen Yi?" Shen Yebai asked in a low voice to the woman beside him whose face was covered by a veil.
The woman had delicate features, and even with her face concealed, her beauty remained undiminished. Faced with the questioning, she simply chuckled and said, "I was also surprised to see Young Master Qin here."
The smiling face was none other than Zuo Shu.
Zuo Shu's answer was essentially the same as no answer, but Shen Yebai had no time to discern whether she truly didn't know or was pretending not to. At this moment, all his attention was focused on Qin Moyu, who was about to enter.
Although he couldn't look at it openly, Shen Yebai could still sneak a few more glances.
They had only been apart for a few days, but in Shen Yebai's eyes, Qin Moyu was no good at anything. She seemed thinner and her smile wasn't as lively as before.
Wait, who is Mo Yu joking with?
Shen Yebai glanced at Mo Jin next to Qin Moyu as if it were a favor, and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
This guy... I feel like I've seen him somewhere before... he seems to be from the Guanlan Sect.
Shen Yebai narrowed his eyes, dug out the other person's face from the corner, and his fist instantly became hard.
Damn it, how come Mo Yu is with this guy!
Shen Yebai couldn't stand Mo Jin no matter how he looked at her, especially since she was standing so close to Qin Moyu, making him want to go up to her, take her hand, and declare his ownership.
But Shen Yebai could only dream about it. Now, under the identity of Mo Yuan, he didn't even dare to walk openly to Qin Moyu's side.
Seeing his prospective partner with someone else in an unfamiliar place would make anyone else feel cheated on, but Shen Yebai firmly believed that Qin Moyu would never do such a thing and must have been deceived by sweet talk.
The extremely biased Shen Yebai had, without exaggeration, already thought of a thousand ways to quietly kill Mo Jin. In order to determine whether Qin Moyu's purpose for this trip was dangerous, he was still hesitant about whether to talk to Qin Moyu, but he had his concerns.
Before he could figure it out, the opportunity to strike up a conversation came knocking on his door.
Chapter 47. Questioning the obvious...
Shen Yebai and Zuo Shu stood at the entrance of the canyon. Because Zuo Shu had disguised herself, Qin Moyu did not recognize her.
He forced himself not to look back at Qin Moyu, but as Qin Moyu's footsteps drew closer and passed by him, Shen Yebai couldn't help but glance at her.
Qin Moyu stared straight ahead, seemingly unaware of Shen Yebai beside him. He yawned, rubbed his eyes sleepily, and didn't even notice that the storage bag hanging on his waist had fallen off.
Shen Yebai knew that Qin Moyu valued his storage bag very much and would be anxious if it were lost, so he picked up the storage bag without thinking and called out to Qin Moyu.
"etc--"
Shen Yebai regretted it as soon as he shouted it out; he shouldn't have acted so impulsively. But Qin Moyu had already turned around and was looking at him.
"Are you calling me?" Qin Moyu pointed to himself in confusion.
Shen Yebai pursed his lips and handed over the storage bag in his hand: "You dropped your things."
Qin Moyu paused for a second when she saw the familiar storage bag in his hand, and subconsciously touched her waist, which was indeed empty.
"Thank you!" Qin Moyu gratefully accepted the storage bag, gave him a bright smile, and said, "My name is Qin Moyu, what's yours?"
“…My name is Mo Yuan,” Shen Yebai said, but couldn’t help asking, “Where…are you going?”
“We’re going to Chenmen,” Qin Moyu said, and Mo Jin, who was standing next to her, had a bad feeling.
really.
"What a coincidence, me too." Shen Yebai's lips curled slightly, trying to make it as obvious as possible. "Want to come together?"
The disciple who witnessed the whole thing looked at Mo Yuan as if he were looking at a ghost. How could he not know that Mo Yuan was so kind, picking up the storage bag and returning it to someone else and even offering to travel together? Logically speaking, shouldn't he not even lift his eyelids if a stranger died at his feet?
Seeing that Qin Moyu was about to foolishly agree, Mo Jin quickly pulled him back and whispered, "Do you know who he is?"
"Of course I know him." Qin Moyu lowered her eyes and chuckled softly. "How could I not know the famous Mo Yuan?"
"So you're still going to agree to his request?" Mo Jin frowned. "Mo Yuan invited you to come along out of the blue. I have a feeling he has ulterior motives."
Although it was Mo Yuan's first time meeting him, Mo Jin was instinctively wary of him because of his "renowned reputation" in various senses.
"It's alright." Qin Moyu glanced at Mo Yuan, who was standing there waiting for his answer, and touched his storage bag. "I'm going to Chenmen to find him. If you think it's dangerous, you don't have to come with me."
Going to Chenmen just to find Mo Yuan? Mo Jin was indeed surprised. He observed Qin Moyu's expression and confirmed that Qin Moyu was not acting on a whim or being oblivious. He nodded and said, "Alright, since you've made up your mind, I'll go with you. In case he has ulterior motives, I can help you. Although I may not be able to defeat him, this is Chenmen. Since I brought you here, I can definitely take you away safely."
Qin Moyu hadn't expected that after only a few meetings, the other party would go to such lengths to help her. Overwhelmed with mixed emotions, all her unspoken words boiled down to two: "Thank you..."
Although these two words seem inadequate, it is indeed the only option for Qin Moyu to repay this kindness.
Mo Jin didn't say much, just smiled.
Did he not understand what making a promise meant? No, he simply followed his heart and did what he felt he should do.
Shen Yebai, who was watching Qin Moyu and Mo Jin whispering to each other, felt uneasy. He suppressed his jealousy and stared intently at Qin Moyu: "How is it?"
If he regretted calling out to Qin Moyu before because he was afraid of being discovered, now he couldn't wait for Qin Moyu to agree immediately so that walking together could at least prevent anyone with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the situation.
As for who this person with ulterior motives is...
