Yun Qishen

Chapter 2268 Blue Flower Badge
Mo Langqin looked at Mo He's outstretched hand, and he held his breath as his heart began to race.

What does he want me to hand over? Has he already discovered the Book of Prophecy? Impossible, I've already dealt with the monsters he sent to monitor me, what other problems could there be...?

"Lang Qin, I appreciate that you're usually obedient and diligent, and never disobey me. I'm speaking to you calmly now, so don't push me to my limit. Hand over the things!"

Mo He took a few steps closer, and Mo Langqin subconsciously took a few steps back to dodge. His guilty conscience made Mo He approach even more aggressively.

Are they bamboo skewers? How much does Uncle San actually know?

still is……

Is he trying to bomb me?

He had no idea that I knew about the Book of Prophecy!
"Mo Langqin! Hand him over!"

Mo He's roar made Mo Langqin's ears ache. Just as Mo Langqin was about to speak in denial, the door to the room was opened from behind.

"Third Uncle?" Mo Ruo looked at the furious Mo He with surprise and delight. He jumped into the house and approached with a smile, "Why have you come to see Mo Langqin too?"

"..." Mo He's already furrowed brows tightened even more. He straightened up, glanced past Mo Ruo, and looked toward the door. As he expected, Mo Li had arrived.

"What happened?" Mo Li emerged from behind the door. His calm expression turned slightly serious upon seeing Mo He, though this seriousness was not easily noticed by others. "Did Third Uncle come to see Lang Qin about something?"

"Mo Li, have you been having too much free time lately?"

Mo He crossed his arms over his chest. Lately, he always encountered Mo Li getting in his way. If it weren't for Mo Wangchuan's orders to protect them, the younger generation of the clan, he would have punished Mo Li several times over.

Mo Li clasped his hands in a fist salute to Mo He, "Uncle, I have a mission tonight, so I'd like to spend a little more time with my friends before I leave. Is that what you call being free?"

Mo He didn't reply. He cleared his throat and said, "I'm here to get the key."

key?

Mo Langqin didn't believe it. The way Mo He had pressured him just now didn't seem like he was there to ask for the key. Besides, when did Mo He know that the key was with him?

Mo Li glanced at Mo Langqin and quickly said, "Is it the key to the library? I'm sorry, Third Uncle, it's my fault. I gave the key to Langqin without properly informing Grandpa."

"Then..."

Before Mo He could finish speaking, Mo Li continued, "However, I just saw Grandpa. He said that a child's desire to learn should not be stopped, so he didn't punish me. Uncle, are you going to take the key back to look for something in the library?"

"..." Mo He pursed his lips and did not answer. He could tell that Mo Li was waiting for him to finish his sentence, so he was unwilling to waste his breath arguing with this junior.

"Langqin, you'd better give the key to your third uncle quickly. Don't worry, your third uncle is kind-hearted and knows you're trying to hide it because you're afraid I'll be punished. We won't be punished, Grandpa already said so. It's a good thing that we like to study." Mo Li said this ostensibly to Mo Langqin, but in reality, she was reminding Mo He to stop interfering.

"Third Uncle, here you go." Mo Langqin understood Mo Li's intention and handed the key to the library to Mo He directly.

"This is the last time." Mo He took the key and strode towards the door.

Once Mo He's aura had dissipated, Mo Langqin approached Mo Li and asked, "Brother Mo Li, did you really run into an elder just now?"

Mo Li nodded slightly, "What's fake can't become real, and what's real can't become fake. You don't need to worry about so much."

"Thank you, Brother Mo Li."

Although Mo Langqin still had some grievances against the main family, he was truly grateful to Mo Li at this moment, as Mo Li had helped him so much these past few days.

"We're all brothers, no need for so many thanks!" Mo Ruo hugged Mo Langqin's neck, his confidence overflowing with enthusiasm. "Our Brother Mo Li is both strong and kind-hearted!" Mo Li remained calm and did not stop Mo Ruo's loud and boisterous manner.

Looking at the empty room, Mo Ruo asked, "By the way, Mo Laoqi, what about the little girl you rescued last time? Didn't you say she woke up? Introduce her to me and Mo Li in person."

"Just wait for me."

Mo Langqin pulled away from Mo Ruo's embrace, then used his ghostly power to close the door before walking to the bedside and softly saying, "It's alright now."

Seriously, this is the last time!

The white shadow's ghostly power disappeared from the bedside, and Yan Cang himself was fully revealed.

"Mo Langqin." Yan Cang hugged Mo Langqin in fear, seeking reassurance.

Mo Ruo took the opportunity to approach and greet her in a friendly manner, "Hello, little sister, my name is Mo Ruo."

Mo Ruo was not old, but his appearance gave people the feeling that he had a fiery temper and was not easy to mess with. Yan Cang only glanced at him and did not want to look at him again.

Mo Li approached casually and greeted them, "We've met before, I'm Mo Li."

"Hello..." Yan Cang greeted them softly before burying his head in Mo Langqin's sleeve.

Mo Ruo, hands on her hips, teased, "Ha, she's a little shy! So cute!"

“They are my blood relatives and friends,” Mo Langqin explained to Yan Cang in a soft voice.

With Mo Langqin's care, Yan Cang gradually became less afraid of Mo Ruo than before.

"From now on, you're family and friends with us!" Mo Ruo approached Yan Cang with a familiar smile. "Little girl, what do you like? You can tell me, and I'll bring it to you next time I come to visit!"

"Ah...that..." Yan Cang looked at Mo Langqin for help, somewhat at a loss. At this moment, Mo Ruo had already taken out a small gadget and stuffed it into Yan Cang's hand.

"I heard young girls love this! Take it, don't be shy, consider it a small gift!"

It was a blue iron badge, shaped like a flower, a flower that Yan Cang had never seen before.

Mo Ruo explained, "This is something I got from a masked merchant called a brooch. I've never seen this kind of flower before and I just find it novel. The merchant asked me for 300 taels of silver! I originally wanted to give it to the other female disciples in the clan, but I didn't like any of them. Since you're here, please accept it!"

Yan Cang's eyes lit up slightly as she stared at the flower badge; she seemed to really like the little trinket.

"The masked merchant..." Upon hearing Mo Ruo's words, Mo Langqin couldn't help but recall the strange merchant who looked exactly like him.

"Langqin, what's wrong?" Mo Li asked quickly when he saw that Mo Langqin was distracted.

Mo Langqin shook her head slightly, "I'm fine."

"Was the masked merchant you mentioned earlier particularly fair-skinned?" Yan Cang suddenly asked, drawing everyone's attention to her.

Mo Ruo replied with a smile, "Little sister, you know too? We might have met the same person. That guy's hands are so incredibly white, just like... Lang Qin's! A deathly pale color!"

Pale white skin! Mo Langqin was even more certain.

It really was that guy, the one who looks exactly like me...
