Chapter 1862 Men Are All The Same
Chapter 1862 Men Are All The Same
Mo Lin's heart trembled, and his entire body froze! I can't say my remaining words no matter what.
He immediately kneeled down without hesitation. "I know I'm wrong! Deputy Sect Master, please spare my life!"
Drops of cold sweat trickled down his forehead and back. The light breeze blew over and caused him to feel like he had sunk into an ice hole!
At that moment just now, he was sure that he saw deep murderous intent in Mo Yun's eyes! He would really take action!
Mo Yun just stared at him.
The surrounding air was clearly already burned by that fire, but at this point, Mo Lin felt that everything in the surroundings seemed to have frozen.
It was cold to the bones!
"Mo Lin, you've been by my side for quite a number of years, yet you're living increasingly backward?" Mo Yun spoke without a hint of warmth to his voice.
Mo Lin trembled like a vine. "D-deputy Sect Master… I was just…"
I just spoke casually! I really didn't have any other meaning!
Yeah, I've followed Mo Yun for so long. Why would I say such a thing?
I clearly know that Mo Yun is usually very careful with his words because he doesn't want bad news to travel to the sect master. Now that such a major thing has happened, Mo Yun definitely wants to use all his methods to solve this problem before the sect master finds out. Yet, I actually took the initiative to report the matter to the sect master… Isn't this pouring salt over Mo Yun's wound!?
But at this point, Mo Yun clearly didn't want to hear Mo Lin's explanation. He stuck his thumb up and gestured for the latter to stop speaking.
He was already frustrated enough and did not want to waste more time and energy on this matter.
However, Mo Lin's heart was completely cold. Mo Yun's reaction has clearly stated his attitude. This time, I'm afraid…
Mo Lin was overwhelmed with emotions and felt extreme regret. If I had solved the matter right from the start, why would we end up in this situation? I-it was all San San's fault for being too useless!
The current Mo Lin couldn't wait to push all the responsibility to somebody else. However, it was a pity that Mo Yun was no longer willing to hear another word from him.
…
Yue Manor.
Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu didn't return the entire night, and the people in the manor could not rest well.
Early in the morning, Thirteen came to the front yard and kept glancing toward the main entrance from time to time.
Yu Jiu walked over with his sword. "Thirteen, what are you doing early in the morning?"
Thirteen turned around. "I want to wait for Master and the rest to come back."
Yu Jiu brandished his sword and said, "Last night, didn't Big Brother say that Master and the rest are fine and that they would come back in a while? How long must you wait here?"
Thirteen felt rather embarrassed. "I know, but I just feel… uneasy… Thus, I was thinking of waiting here to see—Hm, Ninth Brother, why are you here too?"
Isn't he always practicing his sword in the backyard?
Yu Jiu looked nonchalant. "The backyard is a little small, and I can't execute my moves fully, so I came here to try."
Thirteen was speechless. The backyard is clearly a few times larger than this place. They can directly say it if they want to wait for Master. Why must they find such long-winded reasons…
At this point, Wu Yao also arrived. He was dazed for a moment when he saw Thirteen and Yu Jiu.
Thirteen asked deeply, "Fifth Brother, did you come here to… practice your punches?"
"Ahem!" Awkwardness flashed across Wu Yao's face. "Yeah! Isn't it because the backyard is too small!? Originally, I wanted to leave it for Yu Jiu…"
This kid actually ran over here faster than I did!
Yu Jiu delightfully turned the wooden sword in his hands. Sometimes, it is really better to strike first!
"Hm? You're all here?" Shi Fang's shocked voice came over. He was still holding a wooden bucket in his hand, with a hoe on his shoulders.
Thirteen's eyelids twitched. "Tenth Brother, why did you hold all of these things and come here?"
Shi Fang had long prepared his excuse. "I saw that the front yard looks kind of empty, so I came here to plant some things—"
Wu Yao was speechless, and so was Yu Jiu.
Thirteen was speechless. Who would plant in their front yard?!
However, Shi Fang ignored the trio's gazes as he really walked under the tree and started plowing the land.
He looked very relaxed and carefree.
Wu Yao squinted his eyes. "Amazing."
Yu Jiu put up his thumb. "I admire you."
Thirteen was speechless. What am I learning from them every day?
At this point, footsteps suddenly sounded from the main entrance.
The few of them stopped their actions at the same time and looked over. Following this, a curvy figure entered their view.
The two parties exchanged glances for a moment.
Xiao Ba hurriedly took a few steps back and looked at them in horror. "W-what are you guys doing here?!"
A bunch of people messing around in the morning is very scary, okay!
However, the few of them stared at her with an inspecting gaze.
Wu Yao asked, "Xiao Ba, why did you come back from outside?"
Xiao Ba lightly patted her chest. "Of course, it's because I was worried about Master, so… I went out to look for her!"
Their expressions changed in unison. We're still here bitterly waiting for Master to come back, yet Xiao Ba has already seen her?!
"Didn't Big Brother ask us to wait here patiently?" Wu Yao knitted his brows.
Xiao Ba moved and smiled brightly. "Fifth Brother, I'm naturally different from you! Big Brother told all of you that but not me!"
Even though Cen Yi was also strict with her normally, he was still rather relaxed compared to when it was the rest.
"Besides, Big Brother knows that I went out last night. Big Brother, am I right?" As she spoke, Xiao Ba waved to the few people at the back.
The few of them turned around and saw that Cen Yi was standing there at some point.
Hearing Xiao Ba's words, he lightly nodded in agreement.
Shi Fang asked curiously, "Eighth Sister, did Big Brother ask you to go out for a mission?"josei
Xiao Ba blinked and answered quickly, "It was just to find out some news. That Black Sword Sect is indeed like a metal wall, but the people in charge of guarding it are all men. Men… they're all the same. Big Brother, I'm not talking about you!"
As she spoke, she directly ignored the remaining few men as she walked inside and lazily said, "This night really exhausted me—ah!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a tall and bulky figure from the corner of her eye as she made a turn and nearly knocked into it.
She was so shocked that she hurriedly stood up.
Seeing that it was that familiar icy face, Xiao Ba heaved a sigh of relief and glared at him with some lingering shock. "Lord Yan Qing, what's wrong with you!? Is there a point in eavesdropping on other people's conversation by the wall?"
Yan Qing nonchalantly said, "I've been here for about 15 minutes or so, and I came earlier than all of you, so I didn't purposely eavesdrop."
Xiao Ba couldn't be bothered with him as she stretched and squinted her eyes. "Enough, enough. I'm exhausted today, so I won't hold it against you. Dealing with those men is really tiring—"
Yan Qing's expression became incredulous as his thin lips moved, and he was hesitant in speaking.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw the thin waist she revealed, which was glaringly white.
He immediately averted his gaze.
A whiff of fragrance came by.
He hesitated for a moment and still turned around to pull her wrist. "Miss Xiao Ba."
