The Journey of Freedom After the Awakening of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit

Zi Nu pondered the name silently, quickly recalling any memory of it. She soon realized she hadn't; this was the first time she had heard the name Mo Ying.

Therefore, I still don't know the details of the person in front of me.

However, the fact that he was willing to give his full name at least showed that the man in front of him wasn't there to cause trouble.

Thinking to herself, Zi Nu smiled gracefully, glanced at the girl in green, and said with a smile, "Green-clad girl, serve tea to our young master Mo!"

"Yes, sister!"

The woman in green turned around, picked up the teapot, and then, with a slight smile, knelt down on the couch beside the long table, stretching her slender waist to pour tea into the cup in front of Moria.

"Thank you!"

Moria casually remarked as the man in green finished pouring the tea and put it away.

It was really just something I said casually.

But this extremely casual "thank you" made the girl in green pause, and then she looked at Moria with an even brighter and more sincere smile, saying, "Young master is truly a learned man."

"???" Moria was confused and could only silently pick up the cup.

The woman in green smiled and poured tea for Wei Zhuang, Jing Ni, and Zi Nu in turn.

Then, at Zi Nu's signal, he left the room, closed the door, and stood guard outside to prevent anyone from entering.

Inside the room, Zi Nu looked at Moria with a curious and shocked gaze.

In this patriarchal society, it was rare to receive a simple thank you from a courtesan who served tea and water.

Not to mention having seen it, Zi Nu had never even considered it.

It was just a casual, seemingly ordinary "thank you."

But it is precisely because it was said casually that the sincerity in the words is all the more apparent, as if it were not intentional.

Only then could one see the special radiance emanating from this man, so different from everyone else in this era, so dazzling and rare.

Other men, like Wei Zhuang, although he treated her as a friend, did not look down on the girls of Zi Lan Xuan.

However, class consciousness was the most deeply ingrained in him.

Let alone Green Robe, even her friend Purple Maiden has personally poured wine and served tea to Wei Zhuang countless times.

He never received a thank you from Wei Zhuang, not even a nod.

It's as if all of this is perfectly natural. You, Zi Nu, are a woman. I can treat you as a friend, and I'd even risk my life for you.

However, there is still a class divide between us that is difficult to overcome.

These tasks of serving tea and water, and taking care of others, are what a woman like you, Zi Nu, should do. I, Wei Zhuang, am perfectly justified in doing so.

This has become an instinct.

That is why Moriah's uniqueness is so awe-inspiring.

At this moment, Zi Nu's heart was already rippled with emotion, but she was completely unaware of it.

She simply never imagined she would meet a man like this.

"This guy"

When Wei Zhuang heard Moria's thanks, he frowned almost imperceptibly. He was somewhat unaccustomed to Moria's attitude towards women.

Only Jingni, who was already used to it, did not react.

“Miss Zi Nu, my lady is still here, please behave yourself.”

Moria took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup and smiled softly at the Purple Maiden who had been staring at him.

Before Zi Nu could even speak, Jing Ni glared at her husband with annoyance, saying, "You've been eyeing that landlady quite a bit, haven't you?"

Moria smiled and continued drinking his tea.

"Young master, you flatter me!" Zi Nu composed herself and smiled freely.

As the owner of Zilanxuan, Zi Nu had seen it all, so she accepted Moria's teasing with equanimity.

"Young master even knows my name, it seems you came prepared. Let's talk about the big business then. Why do I need to agree?"

Zi Nu placed her hands on her lower thighs and gently massaged them. She looked at Moria and asked with a smile, "I wonder how big a deal this is?"

Moria put down his teacup and said, "I've taken a fancy to a house not far from Purple Orchid Pavilion and I'm planning to buy it."

"Understood!" Before Moria could finish speaking, Zi Nu smiled and said, "It is an honor for Zi Lan Xuan to befriend a strong person like Young Master Mo. I will go and get the seal for Young Master Mo right away."

"Thank you very much!" Moria picked up his teacup, swirled it in a toast, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Please wait a moment, young master." Zi Nu smiled, got up and left to retrieve the seal.

Without her Zilanxuan seal, the houses in this area wouldn't sell.

"Who is this brother?" After Zi Nu left, Moria looked at the cold-faced Wei Zhuang opposite him and asked knowingly.

"Wei Zhuang." Wei Zhuang said coldly. Although Moria's language was frivolous, a strong person was still worthy of his name.

"Oh!" Moria replied simply, then lay back, crossed his arms over his head, and waited for Violet to return.

Upon seeing this, Wei Zhuang's eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Although he was very curious about the man's situation, he would never ask questions, but would only observe.

So Wei Zhuang leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed firmly on Moria.

"Is this guy gay?" Moria felt a little uncomfortable under Wei Zhuang's gaze.

Fortunately, Zi Nu returned quickly, which stopped Wei Zhuang from acting so recklessly.

Zi Nu asked Moria to take out a banknote, stamp it, and said that the brokers would understand when they saw it.

Moria reached out and took Xiao Yan'er from Jing Ni's arms, then had Jing Ni take out the money notes and stamp them on Zi Nu's seal.

After finishing everything, Moriah held Xiaoyan'er and Jingni and said goodbye to Zi Nu.

"Thank you, Miss Zi Nu, we'll be going now!" With that, Moria left with Jing Ni.

Zi Nu smiled faintly as she watched Moria and Jing Ni leave.

Chapter 220 Zi Nu's Many Thoughts (Two Chapters Combined)

What do you think?

After Moriah and Jingni left Zilan Pavilion, Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang went to their usual room. After sitting down opposite each other, Zi Nu asked a question.

Wei Zhuang knew that the question was about Moria. After pondering for a while, he replied, "This person... is very strange. His tone of voice and choice of words are completely out of step with the people of the Seven Kingdoms. I... cannot see what he has learned."

There was one thing Wei Zhuang didn't say: he felt that Moria seemed to have not read many classic texts, a conclusion he could make from the wording of just a few sentences.

But the strange thing is that a person who hasn't read many books won't have that kind of arrogant and domineering attitude.

Wei Zhuang and Han Fei both saw this very clearly, but it was also the point that they found most difficult to understand.

Because if someone were truly a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, it would be impossible for them to develop that kind of... how should I put it, the kind of open-mindedness that comes from having traveled the world and seen its vastness.

I have a sense of wisdom that I have everything under my control, both people and things.

This is something a farmer could never have.

Therefore, Wei Zhuang, like Han Fei, believed that Moriah must have been highly learned and no longer bound by existing rites.

"A man whose background is unknown, yet who possesses formidable martial arts skills, suddenly appeared in Xinzheng with Han Fei at this moment."

Zi Nu frowned after hearing this and said, "I wonder if this is good or bad for South Korea right now!"

Wei Zhuang turned his head to look at the sky outside the window and said, "Sometimes, a strong external force is the best help to break free from constraints. Especially now, South Korea may need such help even more."

Zi Nu picked up the wine pot and poured wine into the cup in front of Wei Zhuang, then said worriedly, "I just don't know if this help will eventually become an obstacle for us."

"Whether it's a help or an obstacle doesn't matter; what we need is change. Everything has to change before we can have the opportunity to make a new choice."

As he spoke, Wei Zhuang turned around, picked up his wine cup, took a sip, put the cup down, and then looked at Zi Nu's slender hand that had just withdrawn from the wine pot. After a long silence, he frowned and suddenly whispered with difficulty, "Thank you..."

Forgive Wei Zhuang for not being able to finish his explanation.

He just wanted to experience Moria's feelings when he casually said thank you; he definitely didn't feel the need to thank Zi Nu. Wei Zhuang thought to himself with a touch of smugness.

But as it turns out, some things really aren't so easy to do, even a casual "thank you."

"You..." Zi Nu stared wide-eyed at Wei Zhuang, wondering if she had misheard. She pressed, "You... say what you just said again!"

Say it again!

Don't I have any pride?!

Wei Zhuang glanced at Zi Nu with an arrogant air, picked up his wine cup and started drinking by himself, ignoring Zi Nu's gaze.

"hehe…!"

Zi Nu covered her mouth and laughed. Wei Zhuang's reaction made her certain that she hadn't misheard.

Suddenly, his jewel-like eyes narrowed tightly.

She was very happy, very happy that her friend Wei Zhuang could also make such a class-transcending gesture for her.

Although Wei Zhuang didn't finish saying "thank you," he did break through the barrier nonetheless.

However… thinking about it this way, Zi Nu became even more curious about Moria.

"What kind of person are you?" The image of Moria flashed through Zi Nu's mind.

……

With Zi Nu's Zi Lan Xuan seal, everything indeed became very simple.

It took half an hour to complete all the procedures.

About twenty meters to the left of Zilan Pavilion, a house backing onto a large lake was taken over by Moria.

Having a courtyard house is like having a home.

Next, of course, is decorating the house.

Moriah and Jingni carried Xiaoyan'er as they traveled to various cities, buying new quilts and some kitchen utensils.

They also bought a big crib for Xiaoyan.

There is also a barbecue grill.

Some of the wild game in Moria's Shadow Dimension needs to be grilled to bring out its deliciousness.
