Chapter 40 The Shameful Trio

Mo Qianxun opened her eyes and instinctively covered her mouth upon seeing the scene before her.

"You, you guys, did you just come out of the pool? Why are you so wet?" Looking at the three people lying on the ground, Mo Qianxun curiously went over to them.

Everyone's clothes were soaked, their hair was plastered to their scalps with sweat, and sweat was still sliding down their faces.

"Qian, Qianxun, you're finally back." Chen Min grasped Mo Qianxun's hand. "Thank, thank Lu Tao and me. Ling Feng probably won't have the energy to scold you today."

Mo Qianxun looked at Ling Feng, who was lying next to her in a similarly disheveled state, and asked, "What did you two do? Why are you sweating so much?" Mo Qianxun took out a piece of paper from her pocket to wipe Chen Min's sweat, but the paper was instantly soaked as soon as it touched her face.

“…I think you need to rehydrate.” Mo Qianxun dragged the three people to a shady spot under a big tree, took out her water bottle, and gave each of them a sip of water.

"Tell me, what happened? I just went to complete an order, and you guys have made yourselves look so disheveled!" Mo Qianxun took out her phone, ready to gossip with 008.

Chen Min rolled her eyes at Ling Feng: "It's all because of someone who thought he could compete against us just because his training intensity was higher than ours. He messed up, didn't he!"

"Tch, this isn't what you call a crash. You two tried to cheat at me, but I still won in the end. I bet you haven't been training much lately, because you can't even beat me by cheating." Ling Feng rolled his eyes at her, not one to tolerate her behavior.

Mo Qianxun's lips twitched slightly. You guys...

"Ha, yes, who can compare to you, the living Yama?" Lu Tao rarely spoke.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

"You..." Lu Tao never expected that Ling Feng would accept this title so readily.

"Alright, all three of you, stop arguing. You're all exhausted, and you still have the energy to bicker." Mo Qianxun stood up. "You guys rest here first. I need to go find Uncle Zhao."

Chen Min stood up, leaning against the tree trunk: "How about I go with you?"

"No need, your legs are trembling and you can barely walk. You should rest!" Mo Qianxun said, handing each of them a lollipop.

"Eat your candy properly and stop arguing."

The three of them looked at the lollipops in their hands: ...Why does it feel like she's treating the three of them like little kids?! The kind of person who can get along peacefully with just a lollipop?
Mo Qianxun didn't think much of it and turned to leave.

Boom boom boom!
"Come in!"

"Uncle Zhao, I'm here again." Mo Qianxun looked at Zhao Jianguo, who was reading documents, with a smile.

"Chihiro's here. Perfect timing. I was just about to come find you later, but you came to see me first."

"This shows that we are on the same wavelength. Um, Uncle Zhao, I would like to apply for a period of time to use the Pegasus."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jianguo closed the file and looked at Mo Qianxun with some confusion.

The pegasus isn't doing well right now. It's probably because it's not getting enough spiritual herbs to eat each day; it's getting thinner and thinner. So unless there are special circumstances, it's best to keep the pegasus at home to conserve its spiritual energy. "I just finished a delivery job. Olga's uncle is a knight commander, which is similar to a general here. He said there's going to be a war in a couple of days, and he values ​​my fast delivery speed, so he wants me to help them transport supplies. But, as you know, the fastest thing is the pegasus, so I'm not sure if I should take this job."

"Then how will he contact you? Will he have his niece contact you on his behalf?"

Mo Qianxun nodded: "It's very likely that's the case."

Zhao Jianguo stood up and walked around, stroking his chin in thought: "The Pegasus isn't unusable. Here's what we'll do: you talk to Fox Charm first and find out how to raise the Pegasus well in our world. Only when the Pegasus is healthy will we feel at ease."

“Alright, Tianma’s health is indeed very important.” Mo Qianxun thought of the three people. “Then Uncle Zhao, I’ll be leaving now. Those three are too tired to move, and I have to take them back.”

"Oh! You mean Ling Feng and the others? It's alright, don't worry about them, they'll be fine soon. I just happen to have something to tell you." Zhao Jianguo sat back down in his seat, pulled a file from the documents on the table, and handed it to her.

"Take a look at this. This is the recent situation of the An family. I didn't expect the An couple to be so decisive. After finding out that An Xin is not their child, they actually did so many things. Even I, a grown man, have to admire them." This couple is ruthless.

Mo Qianxun glanced at him curiously, opened the package, and the more she looked, the more surprised she became.

The An family is hosting a banquet tonight, inviting all the well-known figures in Beijing's wealthy circles, to expose An Xin's true identity and the true colors of Chen Chunyu's family.

"Some things happened so long ago, how could they find evidence so quickly?"

Zhao Jianguo gave a mysterious smile: "What do you think?"

"The country has stepped in?" Would Motherland really intervene in such a trivial matter?

“You are a national treasure now, and anything related to you is no ordinary matter. Moreover, An Xin is full of malice towards you, and the country will naturally not let it go unchecked. We are just secretly giving it a push from time to time. As it turns out, the An family couple really pays a lot of attention to this matter, which is why they have found out so much in such a short time.”

Mo Qianxun tightened her grip on the document: "...Thank you!"

"Hey, don't be too touched. The government is doing this so that you won't have to worry about these trivial matters. By the way, are you going to the banquet tonight?"

But I don't have an invitation!

"It's just an invitation, no big deal. If you're going, I'll have someone get one for you right away." After all, this was a rare and exciting occasion, and if it weren't for his many official duties, he would have loved to join in the fun.

"...Damn, I want to see Anxin's fate with my own eyes. After all, she almost made me unable to afford food."

"That makes things easier. I'll have someone get you an invitation right away. By the way, Lingfeng will be your date and protect you this time."

"Him? Can he do it? I don't think he can even get up." Mo Qianxun's eyes were full of doubt, after all, he had just been dragged to the bottom of the big tree like a corpse.

"Don't worry, we should trust him. Oh, by the way, the four of you should go to the research institute later. I heard they've figured out the dosage of the Marrow Cleansing Pill that ordinary people can use, and the results are pretty good. Professor Sun wants you to go and try it out too."
