Flower Mother dressed extravagantly and took Hua Qian to Cangjian Villa. According to her, it was to show Nangong Xiang a good time and let Xiao Chuxin know that she was doing just fine without him!
Although Flower Mother spoke with a bold expression, Su Peijiu felt that she had something on her mind. Yesterday, she seemed indifferent, but today she appeared somewhat anxious.
Had she really let go of her past?
Today's plan involved Flower Mother and her splitting into two teams. Flower Mother would provide cover to help them infiltrate the forbidden area smoothly.
The Su Family had also been hidden away by Cangjian Villa. Hua Qian searched many places without success, and it seemed that if Xiao Chuxin had hidden them in the forbidden area, it would save her some trouble.
Though reluctant, ever since learning about her origins, she felt it necessary to find out who her biological father was. Zhao Mengzhi, that rather unlikable Concubine, had been in the residence for many years and surely knew many secrets.
Thus, this mission was primarily to locate the Su Family, with finding Xiao Zhan and that woman Lu Shuang as secondary objectives. Of course, if these two were still alive, they would be over two hundred years old. Even if she had the courage of a lion, she wouldn't dare send her subordinates to provoke them, let alone seek revenge for Yue Niang.
According to what Yue Niang had told her before, Lu Shuang was ruthless and could be cruel both to herself and others. The only person she couldn't bear to harm was Xiao Zhan. However, she harbored intense hatred for the women surrounding him and would not hold back against them. Therefore, back then, Xiao Zhan despised Lu Shuang.
It was uncertain whether after more than two hundred years, these two still held mutual resentment. If so, this matter would be much simpler… However, if Xiao Zhan had truly compromised himself to be with Lu Shuang, she would fight tooth and nail to ask him about it for Yue Niang.
Thinking of that unfortunate woman trapped in the cave made her heart ache.
“Master of the Building, we should go in now,” Black Crow whispered in her ear.
Su Peijiu nodded and instinctively glanced at Qi Mo, who was standing a person’s distance away. He wore an indifferent expression, gazing straight ahead as if nothing could catch his eye.
“Flower Mother has already entered Cangjian Villa…” She watched as the lake-blue skirt swayed into view before disappearing inside. Although she wanted to stay and see what happened with Flower Mother, the current situation did not allow for it; she could not let down Flower Mother's good intentions.
Reopening the wounds of her heart after more than a decade felt painful no matter how much blood flowed or how deep it hurt.
She didn't fully understand this state of mind, but she knew that Flower Mother must be feeling quite distressed…
"Let's go." As soon as the words were spoken, several figures around flew out. Qi Mo and Leyang also moved lightly on their toes, heading towards the forbidden area without glancing this way.
Su Peijiu felt a bit of soreness in her eyes. Black Crow sighed and held her in his arms as they flew towards the forbidden area. "The Master of the Building is someone who is destined for great things; how can they be trapped in personal feelings?"
Black Crow's words were like a refreshing breeze, washing away the bitterness in her heart.
After a moment of silence, she spoke up, "I'm sorry."
Black Crow was taken aback by Su Peijiu's sudden apology. He smiled awkwardly and replied, "Please don't mind it, Master of the Building. I'm just a bit straightforward, so..."
"You are right; I have been too weak." She felt weak, not knowing why she felt lost because of Qi Mo. Yet here she was, distracted by a man—one with whom she had deep-seated enmity. Su Peijiu, you truly are weak.
Black Crow was speechless.
They soon arrived by the lake. With few people around and their footsteps light, they managed not to disturb anyone.
Su Peijiu lowered her voice and said to a few subordinates skilled in the art of Qi Men Dun Jia, "Go check if this formation can be broken without alarming anyone from Cangjian Villa."
After receiving the order, the subordinates immediately went to investigate. Su Peijiu followed along and happened to see Qi Mo leaning against a tree stump, his hair gently tousled by the breeze, looking elegant and strikingly handsome.
There are some people who become more stunning the more you look at them; Qi Mo was one of those who was initially breathtaking and became even more so over time... Su Peijiu felt her heart skip a beat again.
All previous reflections and realizations were completely forgotten as her mind was filled with one thought: there really are people in this world who can make a living based on their looks.
Just then, her subordinate spoke up, "This formation cannot be broken."
"Ah, it can't be broken." Su Peijiu wasn't anxious at all; she adjusted her bag and said, "Since it can't be broken, let's just go in."
All the subordinates were dumbfounded. Can we still go in if we can't break through? Is this looking for death?
"This formation can only allow entry and not exit, right? I suppose there won't be much reaction when entering. As for whether we can come out, I think formations are man-made, and since they are man-made, there must be weaknesses. We will go in first." Flower Mother shouldn't take too long; Xiao Chuxin, that old fox, will soon realize this is a delaying tactic. At that time, Flower Mother will be in danger.
"Let's hurry in." She took the lead and stepped onto the surface of the lake, but it felt like stepping on cotton. However, this cotton became softer and softer until she quickly disappeared beneath the lake's surface.
Black Crow was preparing to follow when suddenly a dark purple figure flashed by even faster and vanished. He frowned and followed.
This man had ill intentions toward Master of the Building, with an overwhelming possessiveness. If Master of the Building really got together with him, she would likely be hurt.
People entered one after another, with Leyang being the last. He walked up to the formation, turned around three times, then kicked aside a stone by the lakeside bushes before stepping into the formation as well. The lake surface quickly returned to calm.
Su Peijiu wandered alone in the blue world for a long time before finally seeing some grassland. Although she thought about why Black Crow and the people from Nan Xie Tower hadn't caught up yet, her mood was no longer anxious.
The world at the bottom of the lake was beautiful; she could see fish and aquatic plants dancing gracefully around her. This formation was indeed clever; people could move freely in water and breathe normally. The animals and aquatic plants flowed past her along the current without entangling her at all.
After walking for a while, Su Peijiu decided to stay put and wait for Black Crow and the others. Acting rashly might not be good and could complicate matters.
After waiting for a while without seeing Black Crow, she instead encountered Qi Mo. He approached her as if strolling through a garden, his expression blank: "Let's go."
"But I want to wait for Black Crow and them." Su Peijiu instinctively didn't want to be alone with him; encountering Qi Mo recently had become increasingly strange—her heart would race, and her face would flush.
Even during her youth, she had never felt this way; back then, she only thought of Yu Chen as her best friend.
When Qi Mo heard the name Black Crow, a dark light flashed in his eyes. Wasn't Black Crow the subordinate who had held her before?
"They're behind us; let's go check the situation first."
“Black Crow They will come soon.” Su Peijiu tightened her grip on her bag and looked back, but unfortunately, she saw no one.
“Are you rejecting me because of Black Crow?” Her waist was suddenly grabbed, and she was enveloped in a fragrant embrace. Her chin was forcefully lifted, forcing her to look up at the dark-eyed man above her.
He is angry… Why is he angry?
Su Peijiu felt somewhat bewildered; the position was indeed uncomfortable, so she struggled a bit. Qi Mo took this as her resistance and tightened his grip even more: “You really have feelings for that Black Crow.”
“Qi Mo, what are you doing?! Black Crow is my subordinate, what feelings could I have?!” Su Peijiu exclaimed in exasperation, turning her head to shake off his hand that was gripping her chin. However, she used too much force and heard a sharp crack as her neck twisted…
It must be that I didn’t check the calendar before going out… Su Peijiu began to wonder if she should visit Cangjian Villa today.
“…I twisted my neck.” She glared with fiery eyes and shouted awkwardly with her head tilted.
Qi Mo was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
His laughter was wild and unrestrained, malicious and extremely lewd!! At least that’s how it appeared to Su Peijiu. This culprit didn’t even kneel down to repent; instead, he dared to laugh at her—simply unforgivable!!
“Qi Mo, you bastard! I twisted my neck because of your unreasonable antics, and you’re still laughing!!” This was the first time she cursed in front of him, filled with righteous indignation.
Qi Mo indulgently pulled her back into his embrace, placing his right hand on her neck. Su Peijiu felt warmth spreading through her neck, and the pain subsided a bit.
“Very nice.” He saw more of her side, making it impossible for her to escape now.
Very nice? Su Peijiu’s face darkened as she twisted her neck. Very nice?!
“Qi Mo, you will get your comeuppance for mocking me.” She bared her sharp white teeth menacingly at him.
Qi Mo kissed her on the side of her face, then dodged the slap that came her way, standing at a distance with a joyful smile: "I'm waiting for the retribution you owe me."
I have to admit, Qi Mo looks really good when she smiles, especially with that genuine smile devoid of any masks. Su Peijiu found herself lost in thought while watching her, until she noticed the teasing grin on Qi Mo's face and turned around angrily, plopping down on the ground.
Qi Mo walked over and sat down beside her. The two remained silent for a long time. At this point, Su Peijiu's neck had healed quite a bit, allowing her to move freely. It turns out his internal energy was somewhat useful after all.
"Does it still hurt?" A voice like Elegant Cold Jade came from beside her. Having not spoken for a while, it carried a slightly soft tone that made Su Peijiu's blood boil.
She pinched her palm and rolled her eyes coldly: "I don't need your fake concern."
Is this a quarrel? Qi Mo leaned in with a mischievous smile: "Are you still angry?"
"What does it matter to you?!"
"Girls shouldn't use foul language." Although he appreciated her straightforwardness, he felt it was inappropriate for a girl to speak like a bandit.
Upon hearing this, Su Peijiu's temper flared up. She didn't even realize it herself; only when facing Qi Mo did her bad temper surface.
"Who do you think you are? What does my foul language have to do with you? Don't try to get close to me; I'm not worthy of it." Her angry demeanor resembled that of a snarling tiger cub.
