I traveled through countless worlds and became stronger on my own

The layout of this room is simple, with only a few simple screens and a pool that takes up most of the space.

"I'm late!"

The first thing Lin Mo saw was the slight ripples caused by the woman entering the water.

Under the reflection of the water light, accompanied by petals floating on the water, Lin Mo could not see the beautiful scenery in the water, he could only see her smooth shoulders exposed on the water.

Her slender, white jade hands gently stroked the water surface, her palms dancing like a dragon, forming an arc, gently scooping up a stream of water and sprinkling it onto her hair on her forehead.

The water flowed down her beautiful face, rapidly slid down, passed over her delicate collarbone, and finally returned to the pool.

Beautiful! Very beautiful!

It is like a ballet in the water, transforming into a graceful curve, just like the pointed lotus flowers emerging from the water after the rain, swaying gracefully.

It was the first time that Lin Mo realized that dancing in water could be so beautiful!

"Not bad, not bad, it would be better if you could jump higher." While admiring the beautiful woman's dancing in the water, Lin Mo kept shouting in his heart: "Higher, jump higher..."

If you go higher, you can see it!

Unfortunately, the dancing girl could not hear Lin Mo’s thoughts, but the girl in the pool could see Lin Mo clearly.

"Have I been discovered?" When Lin Mo, who was on the roof, looked into the beautiful girl's bright eyes, he suddenly felt bad.

The girl's eyes were instantly filled with fear.

She stopped all her movements, hugged her shoulders tightly with her hands, and opened her mouth slightly, as if she was about to scream out in the next second.

"Someone is coming..."

Before she could utter a word, she felt a mysterious force covering her mouth, making it impossible for her to make a sound.

Seeing that he had been exposed, Lin Mo no longer planned to hide it.

He directly blocked the girl's mouth with the power of his soul, then quickly jumped down from the roof and climbed into the room through the originally closed window.

In order not to alarm other people, Lin Mo had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

Feeling that she couldn't speak, the girl in the pool began to struggle. She stretched out one arm and touched her cherry lips tentatively.

There was nothing blocking her, but she couldn't make a sound.

All of a sudden, the beautiful girl was so frightened that tears flashed in her eyes. For a moment, she couldn't pay attention to other parts of her body, and her body struggled even more violently.

It created a huge white splash of water.

"Don't worry, I'm a good person." Seeing that the girl was about to cry, Lin Mo held the girl's struggling body still, making her unable to move, and hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

Dressed like a man in black, and secretly climbing on the roof to spy, who would believe you if you said you were a good person?

Perhaps seeing that his words did not comfort the girl, but instead made her more suspicious of himself, Lin Mo quickly continued to add:

"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you and will not hurt you. As long as you promise me and don't call for help, I will let you go." Lin Mo said in a soft voice, trying to make himself look as gentle as possible.

"If you agree, then blink twice and I'll let you go."

Lin Mo paused, feeling unsafe, lest the girl in front of him would do something stupid after he let her go, so Lin Mo added:

"Don't even think about calling for help after I let you go. I was able to stop you from talking just now, and I can also stop you when you want to call for help next time, so don't think about doing anything stupid."

The girl still had that terrified expression on her face, but she now understood that she was at the mercy of others.

Although she didn't know what kind of magic the other party used, she was just a weak woman and could not stop any of the other party's actions.

So she hesitated for a while, and finally blinked twice.

The beautiful girl made her own choice, so Lin Mo did as he said and used his soul power to release the innocent girl.

After she felt that she had recovered her mobility, the girl immediately sank down, using the water surface to cover her exposed body.

She lowered her head and stared at the reflection of the man in black who was controlling her in the water. She did not shout but maintained her silence.

She did not bet that the black-robed man in front of her would not interrupt her when she was calling for help.

This man in black robe is a demon who can use strange magic to freeze people and make them speechless instantly, just like the leader of those terrible Yellow Turban bandits in the legend.

If she failed to call for help and was interrupted by him, she would face what consequences. She didn't dare to take the risk and couldn't afford it.

Anyway, this guy hasn't done anything to me yet, and it seems he doesn't plan to do anything to me, so I might as well obey him for the time being.

If this monster really wants to do something to me, I will make him pay even at the cost of my own life.

"What's your name?" Seeing that the girl cooperated with him so well and was quiet without shouting, Lin Mo looked at the girl's collarbone with satisfaction.

"My name... My name is Diao Chan." The girl did not dare to disobey Lin Mo's question. After opening her mouth slightly and feeling that she could speak, she answered in a crisp voice.

"What...what? You are Diao Chan?" Lin Mo was almost scared!

He never imagined that he would meet Diao Chan, one of the four great beauties in history, while watching a dance casually.

So, this mansion is the residence of Prime Minister Wang Yun?

"Yes, sir." The girl named Diao Chan didn't understand why Lin Mo had such a surprised tone, but she still responded respectfully.

"What time is it now?" Lin Mo asked hurriedly, "Is it the Guanghe year of Emperor Ling of Han?"

"My Lord, it is no longer Guanghe now, but the second year of Zhongping."

Diao Chan was a little curious about who the Emperor Ling of Han that Lin Mo was talking about. She had never heard of such an emperor.

However, when Lin Mo asked about that Guanghe year, Diao Chan instantly understood that the so-called Emperor Ling of Han refers to the emperor who is still in power.

Is he so bold? The current emperor hasn't even passed away yet, but he actually gave the emperor a posthumous title? Is he not afraid of death?

However, considering that Lin Mo's knowledge of magic should have a great connection with the rebellious Yellow Turban remnants, it is understandable that he would be disrespectful to the emperor.

So Diao Chan did not ask or refute, but answered directly.

Of course, she didn't dare to call out Emperor Ling of Han by his posthumous title like Lin Mo did.

Chapter 23: Departure

The seventh year of Guanghe, which was 184 AD, was the year when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.

Lin Mo estimated that he died around this year.

In December of that year, Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, changed the reign title to the first year of Zhongping.

Now that it is the second year of Zhongping, it means that more than a year has passed since the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed.

It is estimated that the time before the death of Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, is not far away.

Once this guy died, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty became a leaky ship, and there was no way back from that.

But this is just right, giving Lin Mo enough time to make good preparations and accumulate strength for the upcoming warlord chaos and even the Three Kingdoms period.

"What do you think of the current situation in the court?" After Lin Mo made up his mind, he continued to ask Diao Chan, intending to see if he could get more useful information from her.

"Sir, could you allow me to put on my clothes first?" Diao Chan asked Lin Mo weakly while soaking in the pool.

She had been feeling extremely ashamed of this since the beginning.

"Ahem..." Lin Mo couldn't help but cough deliberately to ease his embarrassment, and then pretended to be generous and said: "Okay, then you put on your clothes first."

Then Lin Mo stood there, opened his eyes wide, and prepared to appreciate the beauty of the beauty coming out of the bath.

Diao Chan was not so stupid. She continued to soak in the water, looking at Lin Mo with her beautiful big eyes pleadingly: "Sir, can you turn around?"

"...Okay then." Seeing that his idea of ​​wanting to see the spring scenery was ruthlessly exposed by Diao Chan, Lin Mo had no choice but to turn around and leave, retreating behind the screen in the room.

"It's okay now!"

With the screen blocking the view, at least Lin Mo's unscrupulous gaze could not fall on Diao Chan's body.

However, Diao Chan did not think of using this opportunity to call anyone in. Not to mention that Lin Mo, this demon, could use some magic, just the fact that she was naked now and called anyone in, even if Lin Mo was driven away, she would probably find it difficult to stay in the mansion anymore.

She was just a dancer kept by Wang Yun. It was because of her beauty that Wang Yun valued her so much that he planned to use her to bribe the princes and ministers in the future.

If someone really saw it, then my status in Wang Yun's heart would be greatly reduced.

So after Diao Chan figured this out, she no longer had the mind to call for help.

She now hoped that this monster would leave here as soon as possible.

Diao Chan had a lot on her mind. She took a dry white cloth, wiped her fair body and wet hair, and then slowly put on the long skirt used by singers.

"My lord, I am ready."

Diao Chan walked outside the screen and reported to Lin Mo respectfully.

For a moment, Lin Mo looked at Diao Chan in a long dress and was amazed by her.

She is really like a lotus emerging from the water, with the innocence and beauty of a young girl, making people want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.

No wonder Lu Bu was willing to ruthlessly stab his adoptive father Dong Zhuo for her, even though he himself was a great "filial son".

Fortunately, Lin Mo quickly came to his senses and continued to ask Diao Chan the same question:

"What do you think of the current court?"

"I am just a weak woman. I don't know much about the court, so how can I have any opinions? Sir, I am afraid you are asking the wrong person."

As expected of a dancer who was valued and trained by Wang Yun, she knew exactly what she could say and what she could not say, and she answered Lin Mo's question very well.

"It's okay, it's okay to just talk about it." Lin Mo didn't really believe what Diao Chan said.

As a dancer in training, she must be trained in skills such as obtaining intelligence, so that it will be easier to pass on information to her master in the future.

Lin Mo didn't believe that Diao Chan had not received this training.

"My lord, please don't make things difficult for me. I really know nothing about the affairs of the court." Diao Chan smiled bitterly and still politely refused Lin Mo.

"Okay." Seeing Diao Chan so persistent, Lin Mo couldn't figure out for a moment whether she really didn't know or was pretending not to know.

But if you don’t want to tell me, then don’t tell me. Lin Mo doesn’t really care about this information.

He had read history books and remembered the general direction of the Eastern Han Dynasty court clearly.

The reason for asking this question is that history books cannot record everything in detail and may contain errors, so Lin Mo wants to verify it.

Anyway, he does not rely on this historical inertia to benefit himself. With the power and resources he now possesses, even if he completely forgets the history and does not rely on the benefits of foresight, he is very confident that he can achieve his desired goals in the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms.

Lin Mo asked Diao Chan a few more questions, but this time they did not involve politics. Diao Chan did not avoid the questions but answered them directly.

For example, Lin Mo asked, "When did you enter Wang Yun's mansion as a dancer?"

Diao Chan replied, "My parents died when I was seven years old. I was sold to your mansion by my uncle and aunt as a lowly maid and dancer. Fortunately, the master valued me and gave me the name Diao Chan."

"Oh? How old are you now?"

"Your Excellency, I am already past the age of 16 and have not yet reached the age of marriage."

"No?" Lin Mo was shocked by this, even more shocked than when he knew the beauty in front of him was Diao Chan.

He never expected that Diao Chan looked so young!

She hasn’t reached the age of 15 yet!

My goodness, did ancient people mature so quickly? She doesn't even look like a 15-year-old! This is almost a crime!

Lin Mo wanted to continue asking, but was suddenly interrupted by someone outside.

"Miss Chan, the master is back, and he has brought a distinguished guest with him. The master asked me to inform you that he will host a banquet for the guests later, and he will ask you to dance to entertain them."

Diao Chan didn't dare to speak, but looked at Lin Mo. After Lin Mo gestured for her to answer, Diao Chan said, "I see. You go down first! I'll get dressed and go over."

The people outside the room received the order and retreated.

This sudden change forced Lin Mo to leave.

So he said to Diao Chan: "I'm leaving now. I hope we can meet again next time!"

After saying that, Lin Mo jumped lightly, climbed over the window and left.

He didn't care whether Diao Chan would reveal the fact of his arrival after he left, even if she did, it didn't matter.

Anyway, he was wearing a black robe and Diao Chan didn't know who he was. Apart from strengthening the defense of the mansion, she couldn't do anything to Lin Mo.

"This monster has finally left!" After Lin Mo left, Diao Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Will we meet again? I'd better not see you next time!"

Diao Chan did not stay here for long. She left the room and returned to her boudoir.

Out of the principle of less trouble is worse than more, she thought about it and ultimately did not reveal to others the fact that Lin Mo had been there.
