His Highness the Madman gave in again today.

This can be considered a direct revelation of her identity.

Although she was being secretly monitored along the way, they couldn't completely control her movements.

Only after arriving here did we truly collide head-on.

"Oh... so you are Miss Mo. His Majesty and Lord Mo have been waiting for a long time. Since we have the opportunity to meet Miss Mo, then let me escort Miss Mo into the city."

The leading officer had a smile on his face, but his eyes held an unyielding look.

Disguised as a servant, Feng Xingyu stepped forward at the opportune moment, bowed slightly, and said in a slightly fearful voice, "Since this young lady has encountered an acquaintance, then... then I'll see you off here. As for the travel expenses, young lady..."

Mo Sangyu glanced at him, took out a money pouch from her sleeve, and casually tossed it over: "Take this, and hurry back."

Feng Xingyu took the money bag, weighed it in his hand, thanked him repeatedly, then drove the blue cloth carriage around and slowly drove away along the way he had come.

This man is a pretty good actor.

"Miss Mo, please."

The officer and soldier leader, unsuspecting, made a gesture, and someone immediately brought over a carriage that looked more comfortable, but also more enclosed.

Mo Sangyu didn't say anything and got into the car.

The carriage resumed its journey and sped towards the capital.

The carriage curtains were drawn, blocking the view between the inside and outside.

After walking for about half an hour, we arrived near a teahouse where people could rest.

The officers and soldiers also needed to rest for a while and replenish their water.

Mo Sangyu lifted the carriage curtain, glanced at the teahouse not far away and the sparse woods behind it, and said to the leader, "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

"Miss Mo, please make yourself at home."

The leader sent two soldiers to accompany her as they walked towards the edge of the woods.

When she reached a slightly secluded spot, she went behind a large rock.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, could you please move aside?"

The two exchanged a glance and had no choice but to turn away.

They were surrounded by their men, so they weren't worried that she would run away.

Even if they escape, we can catch them.

A moment later, "Mo Sangyu" emerged from behind the stone, looking perfectly normal. Escorted by the soldiers, he returned to his carriage.

The carriage continued on its way, moving at a slightly faster pace than before.

The leading officer sat on the carriage shaft, in a good mood.

Although we didn't catch that audacious scoundrel and the young lady of the Tianyan Sect, catching this Miss Mo is still a great achievement.

Upon returning, a generous reward is certain.

No one noticed that after the group had gone far away, a man and a woman had silently followed behind them.

The two changed into coarse linen clothes and mingled with the passing caravan of merchants, following the lead soldier's carriage at a distance.

Upon arriving at the gates of the capital, the checks remained stringent.

However, this only applies to leaving the city; the restrictions are much more relaxed when entering the city.

After all, why would someone who is wanted walk right into a trap?

Feng Xingyu and Mo Sangyu lowered their auras and moved slowly with the crowd, entering the city smoothly.

The city's streets are crisscrossed and teeming with people, making it more prosperous than the outside world, but also imbued with a more somber atmosphere.

Patrolling soldiers and disciples of the Tianyan Sect could be seen everywhere.

Feng Xingyu leaned close to Mo Sangyu's ear and whispered, "There may be a Grandmaster hiding in the capital city. He doesn't make a move easily, but his perception range is extremely wide. We must be careful in our actions and try not to use power beyond our limits."

Mo Sangyu nodded, indicating that he understood.

She had experienced Chu Canglan's perception firsthand, and it was indeed terrifying.

She has always been arrogant and likes to fight against the strong when she is weak, but she never underestimates her opponents.

They followed the carriage.

The carriage traveled through several main streets before turning into a relatively quiet but more heavily guarded neighborhood, stopping at the back gate of a high-walled compound.

It's like a secluded courtyard.

Feng Xingyu squinted at the layout of the mansion and the hidden sentries around it.

This is definitely not an ordinary villa.

Mo Sangyu watched as the leading officers helped "himself" out of the car, shoving and pushing him into the back door, which then closed.

"Let's find a place to stay first and figure out the situation of this house."

Feng Xingyu said, "I'll come and investigate again tonight."

"it is good."

The two retreated into the crowd and found a small, secluded inn to stay in, two streets away.

They booked a regular guest room under the guise of being a young couple.

The window faces the direction of that street, and although you can't see clearly, you can observe the general movements.

Returning to this place after many years, Feng Xingyu's feelings were not as calm as they appeared.

Back then, it was tantamount to exile, and his mother died tragically. Although he still doesn't know who the mastermind behind his mother's death was, but...

He always knew very well that the person he needed to take revenge on was none other than... the Great You Emperor, Feng Mingyuan.

The culprit who caused all the tragedies was none other than Feng Mingyuan!

Sensing a subtle shift in the emotions of the person beside her, Mo Sangyu turned to look at him.

Feng Xingyu stood by the window, his profile slightly tense, his gaze unfocused as he looked towards the high walls and courtyards in the distance.

Mo Sangyu didn't say anything, but walked over and reached out to hold his hand, which was hanging by his side and slightly clenched.

Feng Xingyu's fingers trembled slightly, then he turned around and wrapped her hand in his palm, holding it tightly.

Don't overthink it.

Mo Sangyu didn't know how to comfort people, so she could only try to give him some sense of security: "This time you're back, things are different from before, and you're not alone anymore."

Feng Xingyu turned to look at her, the turmoil in his eyes slowly settling into a calm gaze.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh, but couldn't quite manage a full smile: "Mm."

"Take care of the present first."

Mo Sangyu pulled him to the bedside and sat him down: "After we rescue Sang Wan, whatever you want to do, I'll do it with you."

She said it so naturally, as if she were just talking about something perfectly ordinary.

Feng Xingyu felt his previously suppressed emotions immediately relax.

He raised his other hand and gently brushed a stray strand of hair away from her cheek, his fingertips brushing against her slightly cool skin.

"Ayu," he called out, his voice a little hoarse.

"Um?"

"Thanks."

Mo Sangyu paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow: "Thank me for what?"

Having come this far together, without realizing it, Mo Sangyu had already come to regard him as a part of her life.

In the past, she might have done these things just as a matter of chance or on a whim, but now... it seems that she has come to regard everything Feng Xingyu does as something she must do.

So she said, "There's no need for thanks between us."

Feng Xingyu didn't know what to say, so he just lowered his head and gently pressed his forehead against hers, rubbing it against hers.

This affectionate and slightly dependent gesture warmed Mo Sangyu's heart.

He really knows how to manipulate her now.

He was clearly a very assertive person, but in front of her, he was willing to lower his stance and show her the softest part of his heart without any concealment.

Of course, this is also a "weapon" to deal with her.

If only it were a little weaker in that area too... that would be great.

This gave Mo Sangyu a real headache.

All I can say is that it was a bittersweet experience.

She reached out and patted his back: "Alright, think about how to investigate that house tonight. The sooner we find Sang Wan, the sooner we can move on to the next step of our plan."

When the topic turned to business, Feng Xingyu immediately composed himself.

He straightened up and pondered, "That house is heavily guarded with many hidden sentries. Forcing our way in would easily expose our identities, and all our previous arrangements would be in vain. We need to figure out the layout and shift change patterns first. I'll go and scout it out tonight, and you can stay here and provide backup."

"Are you going alone?" Mo Sangyu frowned.

"I am familiar with the capital and the defense habits of these wealthy and powerful families."

Feng Xingyu said, "Don't worry, we're just scouting ahead, we won't go in. We'll definitely be back within an hour."

"…good."

Mo Sangyu hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Then be careful in everything you do. I'll be waiting for you outside."

After finishing our business, it got dark.

The innkeeper brought up a simple meal.

During the meal, neither of them spoke much, each lost in their own thoughts.

After dinner, as night deepened, Feng Xingyu finally made his move: "I'm going now, you wait here."

"Um."

Mo Sangyu agreed verbally, and after Feng Xingyu left, she followed him out of the inn.

obedient?

does not exist.

Instead of using the door, Mo Sangyu climbed out of the back window and moved silently along the shadows of the alley toward the mansion.

She didn't get too close, but instead lay down on a rooftop across the street where there was a good view.

From this angle, one can vaguely see the outline of the high walls of the mansion, as well as the occasional patrolling figures of guards passing by on the top of the walls.

The courtyard was quiet, with only a few main buildings lit up.

She was very patient, lying motionless, observing the guards' patrol patterns and shift changes.

About half an hour later, a dark figure slid out from the shadows on the other side of the courtyard, and after a few leaps, arrived near the roof where she was hiding.

It is Feng Xingyu.

He had clearly noticed her too; he paused for a moment, then quietly approached and crouched down beside her.

"Why are you here?" he asked in a low voice, his tone disapproving but mostly helpless.

"Come and see."

Mo Sangyu asked calmly, "What's the situation inside?"

Knowing that talking to her was useless, Feng Xingyu quickly whispered what he had discovered.

"The guards are very tight. There is an abandoned culvert entrance in the courtyard, and a small building in the southeast corner. There are hidden sentries all around, and you can faintly hear a woman crying inside."

"The sound of a woman crying?"

After listening, Mo Sangyu seemed to be deep in thought.

According to the original owner's memories, Mo Sangwan suffered from a serious illness when she was a child. Her scumbag father and stepmother left her uncared for. At that time, the original owner was still at the Black Cloud Temple. This illness caused Mo Sangwan to become an idiot.

Therefore, the original owner always felt guilty towards her.

Will Mo Sangwan be locked up in that small building?

"We must go and take a look at that small building, no matter what. The longer we delay, the worse it will be for us."

She could sense that her avatar was in that courtyard, and presumably, it had also been imprisoned.

I wonder when that scumbag father will come to see her.

If he dares to show up, she'll just send him to the Western Paradise.

As for that wicked stepmother...

Since we're already here, we should all be neatly arranged and served together.

"Don't move!"

Suddenly, Feng Xingyu pressed down on her shoulder, using his inner energy to isolate their auras: "Look at the other side..."
