Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 149 Xiaobai is Yunhan’s companion spirit

She knew that Zhu Hongying had resorted to such shameless behavior because she was desperate. Zhu Hongying was gambling, betting whether she would have to watch Yun Han die like this.

Of course Ning Xuan could pack it up and throw it back to her, but as long as Yun Han was still alive, Zhu Hongying would send him back.

Lin Mo knelt silently on the steps outside the hall. The steps in the hall were paved with frost stone with ice properties. There were natural patterns on the surface and it was icy cold. As soon as Lin Mo's knees fell, a chill rushed into his body.

Xiaobai keenly sensed that Ning Xuan was angry. His two round, glass-colored eyes looked at her fearfully. His small body froze, not daring to move.

Ning Xuan looked down at the fragile little white cat, smaller than her palm. Her heart softened. She pinched its pink little ears and said gently, "Don't be afraid. I'm not angry with you."

The little white cat's eyes, originally filled with fear, suddenly brightened up, and Ning Xuan even saw some joy on the little cat's face.

Ning Xuan looked at the little white cat, and her bad mood improved for no reason.

Lin Mo's knees felt like they were being pricked by countless tiny needles, the pain unbearable. He clenched his teeth, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, but he dared not move an inch. Seeing that Lin Mo hadn't left for a long time since returning with the news, Chen Nan couldn't help but return to inquire about the situation.

Walking into the yard, Chen Nan saw Lin Mo kneeling on the cold stone steps with his back straight. He couldn't help but clench his hands that hung at both sides of his body, obviously trying to endure the pain.

Chen Nan frowned slightly, his doubts growing. He quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Lin Mo, didn't you come back to report the news? Why are you kneeling here?"

Lin Mo raised his head slightly at the sound of Chen Nan's voice, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes. He opened his mouth, as if about to say something, but swallowed it back, whispering, "No need to ask. Just follow the orders of the Contract Master." Lin Mo wanted Chen Nan to keep an eye on Yun Han in the energy chamber outside, but then he thought of Ning Xuan's current uncertain attitude. He had been angered by Ning Xuan because of his relationship with the Yun family and his previous request. Chen Nan had no connection to Yun Han to begin with, so why drag him into this?
Chen Nan and Lin Mo were both Ning Xuan's contractors. Ever since Jiuwei, Lan Xin, and Di Youlin came to Ning Xuan's side, Chen Nan and Lin Mo's relationship had grown closer than before. Therefore, when Chen Nan saw Lin Mo being punished, he couldn't help but whisper, "Does the Contract Master know who is in the energy cabin outside? What mistake did you make? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Lin Mo shook his head and lowered his voice: "The Contract Master already knows, you don't need to worry about it, and don't come near me. Be careful and talk less these two days. Let's go quickly."

Seeing Lin Mo say this, Chen Nan nodded helplessly. He decided to go back outside the gate and wait for news with Butler Yan.

Seeing that Ning Xuan didn't throw Xiaobai out, Lin Mo felt that Ning Xuan must have some sympathy for Yun Han. His anger was primarily due to Yun Han's parents sending him here in such a way, clearly forcing Ning Xuan. The letter Lin Mo had just received, in addition to the audio clip, also contained a deed stamped by the Household Registration Center. Signed by Yun Tianye and Zhu Hongying, it confirmed that Yun Han had moved out of the Yun family and became Ning Xuan's indentured servant, severing all ties with the family. Lin Mo and Ning Xuan had been focused on the audio clip, and Ning Xuan hadn't yet seen the deed.

Chen Nan returned to the gate, and Yan Fuzhen came in again. He ran to Lin Mo and asked what was going on. Although Yan Fuzhen was just a housekeeper, he was in charge of many things. After all, he was not a person in Ning Xuan's room, nor was he a slave like the orcs. He was considered Ning Xuan's right-hand man and still had some face in front of Ning Xuan.

Lin Mo thought that it was not a good idea to keep the matter deadlocked, so he handed the deed to Yan Fuzhen and explained the key points of the cause and effect of the matter to Yan Fuzhen.

Yan Fuzhen felt a headache when he heard this. Ning Xuan was not someone who was easy to talk to. Ning Xuan thought that the attitude of his marshal in personally withdrawing the application for termination of the contract was a bit tough, which made her more and more uncomfortable. She always had a knot in her heart. She usually refused to accept the marshal's video invitations and would not use the gifts from the marshal if she could. For this reason, he did not dare to have any contact with the marshal, for fear of accidentally angering Ning Xuan.

Yun Han's father had actually sent someone to assassinate Ning Xuan. Yan Fuzhen wanted to throw that energy chamber away and let the people inside die wherever they wanted. However, that was Yun Han, the commander of the Tianwei Army. In that battle, Yun Han single-handedly protected all his subordinates on the battlefield. Although Yun Han was seriously injured and unconscious, the Tianwei Army recognized only Yun Han from top to bottom, and no one else could take over the position of commander.

Seeing Yan Fuzhen's troubled expression, Lin Mo quickly explained, "Butler Yan, Yun Han's assets are no less than your Marshal's. I'm asking you to hand this deed over to her. Also, what I just brought out of the energy chamber is Yun Han's companion spirit. The owner of the deed is quite fond of it and has been keeping it in his possession."

Lin Mo said with a grimace, enduring the pain in his knee.

Yan Fuzhen gave him a suspicious look. "Can a companion spirit stay outside the body for a long time? Are you sure the Patriarch knows that it's Commander Yun Han's companion spirit?"

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Ning Xuan came from a low-level planet and didn't know much about the rules of the Controller Protection Association, the contractor collar, etc. No one seemed to have mentioned to Ning Xuan that Yun Han's companion spirit had been stuck outside the body for a long time and unable to return. So, could it be that, as Butler Yan said, Ning Xuan had no idea that Xiaobai was Yun Han's companion spirit?
With this guess, Lin Mo felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him, and he felt chilled to the bone in an instant. As soon as Yan Fuzhen saw Lin Mo's expression, he knew that his guess was correct, and Ning Xuan was very likely not aware of it.

Seeing Lin Mo's panic, Yan Fuzhen comforted him, "You don't have to think too badly. The companion spirit and I are one. Since the master likes the companion spirit, he may keep it after knowing the truth."

When Yan Fuzhen handed the deed to Ning Xuan, he saw the little white ball lying on Ning Xuan's hand. It was very young and fragile, and looked no different from an ordinary pet cat.

"Master, this Xiaobai is the companion spirit of Commander Yun Han." As soon as Yan Fuzhen finished speaking, Ning Xuan's hand that was originally stroking the little white cat stopped. She looked at Yan Fuzhen suspiciously, frowned, and took the little white cat in front of her eyes, looking at it carefully.

The sunlight filtered through the window onto the little white cat's soft fur, casting a faint silver glow. Its eyes were a clear blue, like two glittering gemstones, revealing a hint of innocence and ignorance.
