There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

What displeased Wei Zhuang was the Moon Goddess's behavior of showing her face and then running away.

He had wanted to experience the Yin-Yang School's methods firsthand, but they showed no intention of confronting him head-on, which was truly disappointing.

"Brother Wei Zhuang, you've arrived quite quickly this time."

Seeing the somewhat gloomy expression on his face, Jiang Mo, who had released the Reverse Scale Sword, felt a surge of amusement and couldn't help but tease him:

"As expected, only a strong enough opponent can arouse Brother Wei Zhuang's interest."

"A good-for-nothing like Liu Yi, no matter how much trouble he causes, I'm afraid Brother Wei Zhuang will hardly give him a second glance."

"That's right~"

A soft laugh came from the direction of Zilan Pavilion. Zi Nu, who had been waiting in the shadows, stepped out after confirming that there were no enemies around.

She echoed Jiang Mo's words, her voice laced with sarcasm:

"Sometimes I really suspect that unless there is a big problem that would demolish Zilan Pavilion, someone is just like they don't exist."

Wei Zhuang did not intervene when Liu Yi caused trouble, and Zi Nu did not really care.

However, Zi Nu discovered that Nong Yu's room had been broken into by thieves and had been ransacked, which made it impossible for her to ignore.

He didn't even give Wei Zhuang, who should have been the top security guard at Zilan Pavilion, a friendly look.

He couldn't help but criticize the other party for their poor performance.

Slightly embarrassed, Wei Zhuang didn't explain much. He simply leaped up to a spot with a panoramic view of the Purple Orchid Pavilion and silently observed the surrounding activity.

"So, what's the situation with Nongyu?"

In the end, nothing serious happened. After making a sarcastic remark, Zi Nu didn't pay much attention to Wei Zhuang's situation. Instead, she reached out and took Nong Yu off Jiang Mo's back, and couldn't help but ask about the family reunion.

Zi Nu had very mixed feelings about this matter.

Nongyu was happy to finally find her relatives whom she had been separated from for many years, but she also felt a sense of loss.

It feels like a daughter you've raised for many years is finally reuniting with her biological parents.

It was precisely because she was worried about not being able to control her emotions that Zi Nu did not follow Nong Yu, so as not to affect the other party.

Unexpectedly, it was Jiang Mo who carried Nongyu back.

This made Zi Nu even more curious about what had happened before. Yan Ling Ji was equally curious, but she wasn't focused on Nong Yu's background; instead, she noticed what appeared to be saliva on Jiang Mo's shoulder.

"Huh? Sister Zi Nu? How come I..."

Before Jiang Mo could answer, Nongyu rubbed her sleepy eyes and murmured something. After a while, she realized that she had fallen asleep on Jiang Mo's back.

In an instant, her pretty face flushed bright red.

Chapter 13 has finally arrived... Dongjun?

Dark clouds obscured the moon, and the starlight dimmed.

It was indeed a good night for murder and robbery.

Jiang Mo sneaked into the Zuo Sima's residence under cover of night again, but this time he refused Nongyu's offer to come along and came alone.

Lying on the roof of Madam Hu's private bedroom, Jiang Mo squinted.

He rested his hands behind his head in a very comfortable and relaxed posture, as if he were lying on soft grass in the warm sunshine, enjoying the midday drowsiness.

But even with his eyes lowered, a sharp glint still occasionally flashed in his gaze.

Jiang Mo didn't use his eyes to look, but he had already arranged his martial arts in advance, spreading his senses throughout the entire Zuo Sima Mansion to monitor every move.

The noise coming from inside the room was Mrs. Hu tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The clanging of armor inside and outside the mansion was the sound of patrolling soldiers walking back and forth, with occasional whispers and murmurs revealing their nonchalance.

From the study not far away, intermittent sounds of sorrow and lamentation could be heard.

That was Liu Yi sighing. After being knocked down by Jiang Mo, he appeared unharmed on the surface, but the disordered blood and qi had triggered all his pre-existing physical ailments. He was constantly tormented by the aches and pains of a middle-aged man.

I feel uncomfortable all over.

However, this torment wouldn't last long. Jiang Mo estimated that even if it wasn't today, at most tomorrow, Liu Yi would no longer have to worry about the suffering in the world.

Completely freed from all suffering.

Now, it all depends on when those two decide to make their move.

According to the original story, shortly after Wujiu committed the Zilan Pavilion murder, he would target Liu Yi, attempting to steal the Baiyue treasure hidden in the secret chamber. During this process, he would encounter Liu Yi and brutally kill him.

Li Kaicai arrived late and bumped into Madam Hu, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion, leading to a minor misunderstanding.

However, things have changed now.

Although Wujiu, who infiltrated Zilan Pavilion, returned empty-handed, he was frightened away by Xiaobai's illusion magic. Judging from the panic on the scene, where he even ripped his mask off his face, Wujiu was probably scared out of his wits.

I wonder if he will ever come back to the Zuo Sima residence to investigate.

As the perpetrator of the Fire Rain Manor incident, from that guy's perspective, he might still be able to find many clues that he himself was missing.

However, that guy's knowledge was limited.

They didn't even have a concept of the real treasure of Fire Rain Manor.

Thinking this, Jiang Mo couldn't help but subconsciously reach out and touch the Reverse Scale Sword in his arms. This was the true treasure of Fire Rain Manor. Not only did it possess the power to freeze time, but it was also closely related to the secrets of the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon.

Ji Wuye, Tianze...

Countless people wanted to acquire it, but despite their efforts, it ended up in Jiang Mo's hands.

It's different from the original story.

Han Fei might still have a chance to become the master of the Reverse Scale Sword, but Jiang Mo has already beaten him to it and made the Reverse Scale Sword recognize him as its master.

Over the years, Han Fei was not the only one who had come into contact with Ni Lin.

However, with a sword already possessed, they were destined to never gain the sword's approval again, and thus unable to unleash its true power. Even if they were unwilling, they could only gradually relegate it to a shelf.

Somehow it ended up in Han Fei's hands, allowing Jiang Mo to easily retrieve Ni Lin by taking advantage of Ji Wuye's plan to rob the supplies with ghost soldiers.

As for the so-called Baiyue treasures in Zuo Sima's secret chamber.

Jiang Mo had already used the power of the Reverse Scale to sneak in and explore it carefully. To ordinary people, it was indeed a treasure.

But they are just worldly things.

It's likely that Liu Yi is just a decoy put out by the mastermind to mislead those like the Three Wolves Who Cut Off Their Hair, who are still hung up on what happened back then.

Use it and then discard it.

He also uses this tactic of using one enemy to devour another, causing those with ill intentions to fight amongst themselves. This is definitely his style...

In the pitch-black vision, the buried cave seemed to reappear.

However, Mo Yuan's identity was ultimately just a small part of Jiang Mo's life, not enough to make him deeply entangled in it.

Instead, it was the sneaky figure that appeared in their field of vision.

This attracted Jiang Mo's attention even more.

It's here. Hmm, this aura should be a vulture? Did I underestimate this guy? He's acting like nothing happened and continuing with his original plan?

Setting aside his poor eyesight at night, Jiang Mo gained a sharper sense of perception, allowing him to clearly see the figure that had quietly slipped into the Left Sima's residence. However, he did not immediately intend to subdue the vulture.

Instead, they let the other person sneak towards the study.

The question of who killed Liu Yi was merely a casual remark Jiang Mo made to test Madam Hu's opinion.

If the mother and daughter really wanted to take action, they'd probably have to wait in line.

Now that the vulture has arrived, Li Kai, who is preparing for revenge, should also be making moves nearby, right?

Stretching, Jiang Mo, who had been waiting for a long time, sat up.

He ended his leisurely wait, opened his eyes, and prepared to take action, but what came into view was not the dark night.

Instead, it was the gentle moonlight that quietly fell.

Before anyone knew it, the dark clouds that had been obscuring the night sky had dispersed, revealing a flawless, bright moon, hanging silently in the night sky.

Like the downcast eyes of a goddess, gazing upon all living beings in the mortal world.

So he really came. Even though we never fought before, he still got his eye on me! Moon Goddess, you really do care a lot about Dongjun.

Looking up at the bright moon, Jiang Mo showed no surprise.

Although Jiang Mo had only briefly met the other party before, he could vaguely sense that the Moon Goddess was not one to give up easily.

Although he retreated that day, he would never have felt that he had been defeated by Jiang Mo.

He will eventually find an opportunity to make a comeback and defeat Jiang Mo when there are no other people around to get in his way.

This is to prove that she, the Moon Goddess, is superior to Dongjun.

At least in terms of the chances of winning against Jiang Mo, Yue Shen felt that she still had a good chance of winning, and once she succeeded, she would be far ahead.

This is the obsession in the heart of the moon goddess.

Even though she herself knew that doing so was meaningless and not rational at all.

But the Moon Goddess couldn't help herself and came.

To her, anything or anyone related to Dongjun was like an exceptionally bright candle in the dark night, drawing her in like a moth drawn to a flame.

What the Moon Goddess couldn't have imagined was that Jiang Mo had anticipated all of this.

Others may not know about the entanglement between Dongjun and Yueshen, but Jiang Mo, who is familiar with the plot, knows that after Dongjun, he has been targeted by Yueshen.

And this guy probably wouldn't mind a sneak attack.

Perhaps he is not as strong as Dong Jun, but in terms of trouble and danger, he is still a headache for Jiang Mo.

Hiding in the Purple Orchid Pavilion, never leaving Yan Lingji's protection?

Yan Lingji might not mind, but Jiang Mo wouldn't consider such a strategy that would seriously delay things.

Because his strength is no longer what it used to be.

With greater tolerance for error, there are more options. Rather than passively hiding, Jiang Mo prefers to take the initiative. Even if he can't solve the problem of Dong Jun once and for all, he wants to make the other party retaliate.

He wanted to make the other party realize that he, Jiang Mo, was not a pushover who could be easily manipulated.
