Yun Qishen

Chapter 2269 Tears
Mo Li glanced at Mo Langqin, who was deep in thought. Seeing that Mo Langqin's hand was in front of her stomach, he asked with concern, "Langqin, is your stomach upset?"

"I'm fine, Brother Mo Li." Mo Langqin subconsciously lied to cover it up.

Bai Ying, standing to the side, pouted and complained, "[You're just being hypocritical. If you're clearly hiding something, why not be honest!]"

"..." Mo Langqin's eyes met Mo Li's. He quickly looked away to hide his embarrassment, while also trying to avoid Mo Li's possible probing.

Mo Li's eyes, though seemingly calm, held a fearful intensity that seemed to probe into secrets. It was as if nothing could escape his gaze.

Mo Ruo then leaned over and patted Mo Langqin on the shoulder, asking, "Seventh Brother Mo, what is this white thing?"

"A white thing?" Mo Langqin looked in the direction Mo Ruo pointed and saw a white figure resembling Yan Cang.

Upon hearing Mo Ruo's words, Bai Ying leaned closer with interest. She pointed a finger at Mo Ruo's nose and said, "How interesting. In your eyes, am I just a white thing?"

"Of course, and your voice is a bit strange, but I can still understand it." In Mo Ruo's eyes, Bai Ying is Bai Ying; she can't be anything else.

Bai Ying crossed her arms over her chest, analyzing why Mo Ruo couldn't see her face: "Perhaps it's because there's no one you truly care about deep down, or perhaps some other factor is influencing your mind..."

"What does this mean?" Mo Ruo scratched his head, not quite understanding.

[Everyone who sees me must be seeing someone very important to them. Right, over there... Mo Li?] The white figure smiled as she spoke towards Mo Li.

"..." Mo Li glanced at the white figure and quickly looked away.

This piqued the curiosity of both Mo Langqin and Mo Ruo, who were both curious about what he had seen.

【What do I look like in your eyes?】 Bai Ying had finally seized an opportunity, and she didn't want to let Mo Li go so easily. She opened her arms towards Mo Li and called out to him affectionately.

【Mo Li.】The white figure changed in Mo Li's eyes, transforming into the appearance of Mo Li's mother.

Mo Li's calm expression cracked slightly. His reason told him that the mother in front of him was just an illusion, but his emotions told him that this was the face he wanted to see day and night.

"Brother Mo Li..." Mo Ruo stared at Mo Li's eyes in surprise, "You're crying?!"

Mo Langqin was also surprised. It was unbelievable that this perpetually cold and aloof guy would actually shed tears. Who did he mistake the white figure for to elicit such a strong reaction?

"I couldn't quite control my emotions, but it's okay now." Mo Li wiped away the tears that hadn't completely fallen from the corners of her eyes, and looked at Bai Ying again with a calm expression.

At this moment, the white figure no longer resembled her mother in Mo Li's eyes.

【How boring!】 Feeling bored, Bai Ying pouted and walked away.

After the three of them talked with Yan Cang for a few more minutes, Mo Li and Mo Ruo also set off and left.

-

Half a month passed quickly. Although Mo Langqin would take Yan Cang around the Mo family compound, he didn't introduce Yan Cang to the other Mo family disciples. With only half a month left until the agreed-upon time to refine the Fuwa (lucky doll), Mo Langqin frowned, constantly worrying about how to proceed afterward.

During the two weeks that Mo Langqin spent with Yan Cang, she noticed many things.

Due to the influence of her Fuwa destiny, Yan Cang possessed some minor abilities similar to spatial magic, but she herself did not actively control them, and Mo Langqin had not found a way to trigger them passively. At the same time, Mo Langqin was also constantly on guard against Mo He's impolite visit again.

"Hey, did you even hear me?!" The white figure punched Mo Langqin on the head, finally snapping him out of his reverie.

[Thinking about this little girl? Worried that the bearded man will come and hurt her in two weeks?]

"Um……"

Bai Ying turned to look at Yan Cang, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and sighed. "Fuwa, Fuwa, she's truly blessed to have you care about her so much. Since you want to save her, you must try your best to find a copy of the Book of Prophecy."

"I've been searching diligently, checking maps and books, but I haven't found it..."

Mo Langqin lowered his head. He really couldn't think of any way to solve the problem. All the difficulties seemed to have popped up and pressed down on him at this moment.

Bai Ying turned to look at Mo Langqin, and suddenly remembered something. "Have you tried it?"

"hand?"

[Didn't that little girl say the map looked like a hand? And that it marked the location of the copy of the Book of Prophecy—]

Bai Ying lifted Mo Langqin's hand and pointed to the storage ring on Mo Langqin's hand, saying, "It's here."

Mo Langqin pulled his hand back from Bai Ying's grasp, and shook his head with a smile, "Don't joke around, there's no way I wouldn't know what's in my storage ring! There's definitely no Book of Prophecy in my ring."

But what if this ring has some hidden compartment? Or is it connected to other rings?

Bai Ying's words seemed to crack the obstacle in his path, and Mo Langqin's eyes lit up as well. "You're right, a hidden space..."

Mo Langqin needs to study this storage ring carefully.

"Did Mo Tianlan give you this ring?" Bai Ying asked, looking at the ordinary silver ring.

“No,” Mo Langqin replied. “I bought this from the market outside during my first mission.”

I thought your mother gave it to you.

“My mother…she left me nothing…”

For Mo Langqin, he originally possessed the remnant soul of his mother, but now, he has nothing left.
