Yun Qishen

"Yan Cang!"

Mo Langqin pushed open the door. He originally intended to take Yan Cang down the mountain as soon as it was light, but what greeted him upon his return was not Yan Cang's sweet, childlike smile, but a reproachful expression from a white figure wearing Yan Cang's appearance.

The little girl wasn't in the house.

Mo Langqin approached. Although he sensed the slightly strange atmosphere, he maintained his basic composure.

"Didn't I tell you not to let her go out today? Are you kidding me? I don't have time to mess around with you. Hurry up and conjure her up. I need to get her out of the Mo family as soon as possible."

Bai Ying rushed in front of Mo Langqin, pointed at his nose, and roared, "Are you stupid, Mo Langqin?! Do I have to spell it all out for you to finally accept reality? That girl isn't in the room; you've already refined her!"

"Don't joke around! I clearly took Yan Cang's puppet... Don't waste your time making fun of me..." Mo Langqin stared at Bai Ying, trying to see a hint of mockery on Bai Ying's face, or rather, he hoped to see that expression.

However, he did not see what he was thinking. Bai Ying gritted her teeth and lowered her head, clearly suppressing her anger.

"What's with that expression? What's going on? Tell me!" Mo Langqin was getting anxious because he noticed that not only the white figure, but also some other ghosts and beasts in the room were suppressing their anger.

But their anger was not directed at Molangqin.

But what does this have to do with Yan Cang's disappearance?

"There's a traitor among us," Bai Ying said through gritted teeth.

"Traitor? What traitor?"

Bai Ying raised her head and gave him a look. Qing Gui grabbed a black-bodied ghost beast and threw it in front of Mo Langqin.

The white figure stepped on the black demon beast's body, which couldn't break free. "[This is the guy! After you took the Yan Cang puppet, he secretly hid Yan Cang! He even secretly made an identical puppet to fool us! Just now, he sneaked back from outside the house! We discovered him!]"

We can't leave this room because of the magical barrier Mo Tianlan set up, but he just slipped out! We only learned about Yan Cang's situation after extracting his memories...

"So... what I saw just now wasn't a puppet..." Mo Langqin's skin was already paler than average, and now his face was pale with a bluish tinge. He recalled the entire process of refining the Fuwa doll. He lost his balance, swayed, and then suddenly covered his mouth and gagged, "Ugh—"

[Mo Langqin, are you alright?] Bai Ying kicked the black ghost beast to Qing Gui's control, and just as she was about to help Mo Langqin up, Mo Langqin pushed her away.

Mo Langqin pinched his throat with his hand, his eyes red and tears welling up in them, "I ate it..."

"I know..." The white figure understood everything.

"I actually ate it... Heh..." Mo Langqin staggered back again, away from the white figure, then screamed, turned around, and scrambled out of the room, "This isn't real! None of this is real!!!"

【Mo Langqin!!!】

The white figure chased after it, but failed to catch up.

"Come back! I'm letting you come back! Ugh—" The white figure crashed against the barrier sealing them, roaring as she looked in the direction Mo Langqin had left, "Let me out! Let me out! Mo Langqin! Don't be impulsive! Don't do anything foolish! Mo Langqin!!!"

Mo Langqin didn't hear Bai Ying's shouts at all. At this moment, he could only hear the voice within his own heart; he was constantly blaming himself, constantly running away. Yan Cang's image kept flashing through his mind. Her laughter, her curiosity, her fear, her tears…

I actually ate... Yan Cang... No way!
"This can't be!!! This can't be real!!" Mo Langqin charged recklessly, running on instinct, heading towards the place his body most wanted to go at that moment.

Mo Ruo was walking towards Mo Li's place of recuperation with her schoolwork when Mo Langqin bumped into her, scattering her books and schoolwork all over the ground.

"Seventh Brother Mo?" Mo Ruo was about to get angry, but when he saw that the figure who bumped into him was Mo Langqin, he suppressed his anger. However, Mo Langqin did not stop walking after bumping into him, which Mo Ruo did not understand. Normally, that kid would definitely apologize.

He just...cried?
"Hey!!! Where are you going, Mo Laoqi!" Mo Ruo put all her textbooks on the ground, turned around and chased after Mo Langqin in the direction she had left with concern.

He didn't see Mo Langqin on the way, but instead heard a familiar voice making sarcastic remarks not far away.

"Heh, I knew this day would come." Mo Ning crossed his arms and stared ahead at the road with a gloating expression.

Mo Ding, who was next to Mo Ning, seemed to notice Mo Ruo's approach and quickly nudged Mo Ning's waist with his elbow, "Mo Ning, stop talking."

"Hey, you two!"

Mo Ruo noticed Mo Ding's little trick, and he smirked and approached the two of them with a smug look on his face.

Hearing Mo Ruo's voice, Mo Ning couldn't help but click her tongue softly, "Why is he everywhere..."

Mo Ruo patted Mo Ning on the shoulder, startling him. Mo Ruo smiled and asked, "Do you two know something?"

"I don't know," Mo Ding replied, shaking his head.

Instead of looking at Mo Ding, Mo Ruo stared at Mo Ning to confirm, "Really?"

Mo Ning irritably pushed Mo Ruo away, then created some distance between them. "If you don't believe me, just use the Ghost Beast to check! Why are you asking us? Don't just put your arm around me like that. Do you think we're that close?"

"Alright, Mo Ning..." Mo Ding knew that both of them were somewhat impatient and irritable, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he had to step in between them. "Mo Ruo, we really don't know anything about Mo Langqin's situation. We only know that today is the day Master asked him to go and refine."

The matter of Fuwa was no secret in the Mo family; everyone knew that Mo Langqin wanted to refine Yan Cang.

Mo Ruo frowned. "Could it be that Mo Langqin really... refined that Fuwa?"

Mo Ding replied, "Judging from his reaction when he ran away just now, it should be..."

"That kid, he still won't listen to advice. Brother Mo Li clearly said he would help him..." Mo Ruo muttered, then sighed, "Forget it, let's just ignore him!"

Mo Ding seized the opportunity and pushed Mo Ning away, and Mo Ruo no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to chase Mo Langqin.

Mo Ruo believes that this is Mo Langqin's own choice, and whether he is happy or sad is something he should bear himself.

He went back, picked up his books from the ground, and went to find Mo Li. (End of Chapter)
