Granny Ping had personally experienced the bald monk's methods; his decades of hard-earned skills were crippled by a mere flick of his wrist, losing thirty percent of them.

If it weren't for the precious medicine bestowed upon me by my wife, I wouldn't have been able to recover from my injuries so quickly.

She thought day and night about tearing Chen Mo apart to vent her hatred.

When her enemy actually appeared in front of her, Granny Ping not only dared not retaliate, but also suppressed the surging hatred in her heart.

She spoke in a hoarse voice, bowing slightly: "This old woman... greets the master!"

Upon hearing this, the maids who knew Granny Ping's temperament were all secretly surprised.

You should know that Granny Ping has always been ruthless and cruel. She never hesitates to take down intruders and use them as fertilizer.

Why are you being so polite today?!

Only Granny Ping knew that with all of them, they probably wouldn't be enough to defeat this bald monk with just one hand.

If they anger the other party and they start a massacre here, their Mantuo Manor might not see the sun rise tomorrow.

The most urgent task is to keep this bald monk in check, and then inform the lady of the situation so she can make the decision.

Chen Mo seemed oblivious to the solemn expression on Granny Ping's face, and instead smiled and said, "Amitabha, benefactor, we meet again."

"This humble monk has come here to pay a visit to the owner of Mantuo Manor."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Ping took a deep breath and forced a very strained smile onto her face.

"I see... May I ask what brings you to visit my wife, Master?"

Chen Mo smiled slightly, as if he were talking about something very ordinary, "This humble monk has heard that there is a 'Langhuan Jade Cave' in your manor."

"It is said to have collected martial arts classics from all schools and sects under heaven, encompassing everything and truly a treasure trove of martial arts!"

what? !

Grandma Ping's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she gasped in shock.

You should know that the Langhuan Jade Cave is one of the biggest secrets of Mantuo Manor, and only core personnel know about it. Where did this bald monk find out?

"This humble monk yearns for all the martial arts in the world."

Chen Mo continued, "I have come here today with the intention of visiting the Langhuan Jade Cave to broaden my horizons."

"I hope you will convey my message, Mother. I would be extremely grateful."

Oh no, so they came for the martial arts collection of Mantuo Manor.

This bald monk not only knew of the existence of the Langhuan Jade Cave, but also so directly asked to go in and take a look?

That's utterly delusional!

However, Granny Ping did not dare to refuse directly, and could only vaguely say, "I will truthfully report what the master said to you, Madam."

"However, this matter is of great importance. Why don't you come with me to see Madam first, so that she can make the decision herself?"

As he spoke, he casually beckoned to a clever little maid and instructed her, "Quickly go and inform the madam that a 'distinguished guest' has arrived."

She deliberately emphasized the words "distinguished guest," while giving the maid a knowing look.

The maid immediately understood and nodded quickly, "Yes, madam."

After saying that, she lifted the hem of her skirt and ran quickly toward the villa, her figure soon disappearing into the depths of the flower forest.

Grandma Ping then turned around and gestured for Chen Mo to enter, her smile still stiff.

"Master, please come with me."

She was trying to buy herself some time so that the lady would have time to come up with a solution.

Chapter 59 It's you, little monk?!

Meanwhile, deep within the Mantuo Mountain Villa, in a meticulously maintained tea garden.

Li Qingluo and her daughter Wang Yuyan were strolling side by side.

The camellias in the garden are in full bloom, their red and white blossoms creating a magnificent sight.

Li Qingluo seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, and was pointing to several precious varieties, explaining their habits and stories to Wang Yuyan.

Wang Yuyan listened quietly, her face exquisitely beautiful, but with a faint trace of melancholy between her brows, like a fairy in a painting.

Seeing her like this, Li Qingluo frowned slightly, knowing that this little girl was thinking about her cousin again, and couldn't help but want to speak.

suddenly.

A young maid in a yellow dress came running over in a panic, panting, and called out, "Madam! Madam!"

Li Qingluo, who was about to speak, was interrupted, and her face immediately turned frosty.

She looked coldly at the little maid, "What's the panic! You ill-mannered thing!"

"Speak! What is it?!"

The maid named Xiaoshuang was so intimidated by Li Qingluo's imposing presence that her legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground, stammering, "Reporting to Madam..."

“A young monk and a woman in black have come to the manor. They said they wanted to visit you, Madam.”

"what?!"

Li Qingluo's phoenix eyes widened, her anger intensifying. "A man? A monk? How dare you trespass on my Mantuo Manor?!"

"What are Granny Ping and the others good for?"

"Just have them cut off those two's legs and turn them into fertilizer!"

"Have you forgotten my rules?!"

By the end, her voice was so cold it could practically freeze into ice.

"No, I haven't forgotten!"

Xiao Shuang was so frightened that her voice started to cry.

"You haven't forgotten? You dare to disturb my flower viewing with such a trivial matter?!"

Li Qingluo grew angrier as she spoke, and with a flick of her sleeve, she wanted to have the ignorant maid dragged away and punished.

"mother."

Seeing this, Wang Yuyan gently tugged at her mother Li Qingluo's sleeve and said softly, "Please don't get angry, let Xiaoshuang finish speaking."

Hearing her daughter's dissuasion, Li Qingluo suppressed her anger and said, "Speak, is there anything else you want to say?"

Xiao Shuang glanced at Wang Yuyan gratefully and quickly said, "Madam, the monk said that he... he hopes to visit the 'Langhuan Jade Cave' in our manor to broaden his horizons."

"In addition, Granny Ping and the others... it seems they couldn't stop that monk, so they sent me to report to you, Madam."

"what?!"

This news shocked Li Qingluo even more than hearing that a man had broken in.

Her expression changed drastically, her gaze fixed on Xiao Shuang. "Say it again, what did that monk say he wanted to do?!"

"He...he wants to enter the Jade Cave of Langhuan..."

Xiao Shuang replied timidly.

Upon receiving the maid's affirmative answer, Li Qingluo's heart was instantly filled with turbulent emotions.

Langhuan Jade Cave!

That is the biggest secret of Mantuo Manor. Apart from her daughter, confidantes, and a very few core members of the Murong family, no one else could possibly know it!

Who exactly is this monk, that he can name the Langhuan Jade Cave so easily?

Her expression shifted between light and dark, several thoughts flashing through her mind in an instant.

"Murong Fu!"

Li Qingluo could only think of one possibility: that it was her nephew who leaked it.

Could it be that Murong Fu, that brat, used the secrets of Mantuo Manor as a bargaining chip to recruit experts?!

"mother."

When Wang Yuyan heard her mother mention her cousin, she was slightly taken aback, but then she immediately realized, "Cousin... he shouldn't do such a thing, right?"

"Humph!"

Li Qingluo snorted coldly, "You can know a person's face but not their heart. What wouldn't your cousin do for his unrealistic dream of becoming emperor!"

His tone was full of disdain for Murong Fu.

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and her dissatisfaction with Murong Fu deepened.

But now is not the time to pursue Murong Fu; the urgent task is to deal with the two uninvited guests from the manor.

Since that monk knew about the Langhuan Jade Cave and could render Granny Ping helpless, he must be no ordinary person.

Li Qingluo's eyes flickered as she quickly weighed the pros and cons.

If force is used, the losses could be severe.

The best strategy would be to feign compliance with the other party and ascertain their true intentions.

She muttered to herself, "I'll see just how these monsters and demons dare to covet my Mantuo Manor's Langhuan Jade Cave!"

As she spoke, she straightened her sleeves, and her face regained some of its usual composure.

"Yu Yan, go back to your room first. You don't need to worry about what's happening in the front hall."

"Yes, Mother."

Wang Yuyan obediently responded.

She watched her mother and her maids leave in a hurry, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

Regarding my mother's earlier speculation, the guests who came to Mantuo Manor might really be the talented and extraordinary people that my cousin is trying so hard to recruit!

If I can help my cousin, maybe he'll give me a second glance.

Once the thought crossed her mind, she couldn't suppress the flutter in her heart.

Without hesitation, Wang Yuyan lifted the hem of her skirt and quietly followed.

She knew of a place where she could have a clear view of the front hall without giving herself away.
