About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Surrounded by maids, Li Qingluo gracefully entered the front hall.

Her gaze immediately fell on Chen Mo, who was standing quietly in the hall.

Although the young monk was only wearing a simple monk's robe, his extraordinary and refined temperament was undeniable.

Her brows exuded a serene and peaceful aura, like a bright pearl in a turbid world, instantly attracting their attention.

The moment Li Qingluo saw Chen Mo, her anger involuntarily subsided somewhat.

She had been in charge of Mantuo Manor for many years and had seen countless talented young men, but none of them could make her feel favorably toward him like this young monk at their first meeting.

He even subconsciously ignored Mu Wanqing, who was following behind Chen Mo with icy eyes.

At this delicate moment, Granny Rui, who was behind Li Qingluo, saw Chen Mo and the woman in black behind him, and her pupils shrank immediately.

"It's you?!"

She couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Li Qingluo was startled by Granny Rui's exclamation and frowned.

Grandma Rui is usually so composed, why is she acting so out of sorts today?

Suppressing her displeasure, she asked coldly, "Grandma Rui, do you know this little monk?!"

Granny Rui quickly bowed and pointed at Chen Mo, saying, "Madam, it's this monk!"

"The monk who injured me and Granny Ping a while ago and rescued the assassin was this monk!"

Then she pointed to Mu Wanqing behind Chen Mo, "And this woman in black is the very assassin who dared to try to assassinate the lady that day!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall instantly plummeted to freezing point.

The slight goodwill that Li Qingluo had just developed towards Chen Mo vanished in an instant.

She looked coldly at Chen Mo and Mu Wanqing.

Wang Yuyan, who was hiding in the shadows and watching, was so shocked by this sudden situation that she covered her mouth.

Although Chen Mo didn't say anything, in her eyes they were there for revenge!

What should I do? It's urgent! I'm waiting online!

Correct.

cousin.

I need to get my cousin to keep things in order!

Without delay, Wang Yuyan lifted her skirt and quietly retreated with hurried little steps.

She had only one thought in her mind: to get her cousin to come to her rescue as soon as possible!

Chapter 60 Murong Fu: Give me some face!

The atmosphere in the hall was oppressive; you could hear a pin drop.

Li Qingluo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock and anger in her heart.

After glancing at Mu Wanqing a few times, she understood.

This woman in black was most likely sent by that vile woman Qin Hongmian to assassinate me.

Among Duan Zhengchun's confidantes, Qin Hongmian was the most eccentric.

However, this woman in black is nothing to fear.

She turned to look at Chen Mo and said coldly, "Little monk, are you here to kill me too?!"

"Amitabha."

Chen Mo clasped his hands together and smiled slightly, saying, "Madam Wang, you misunderstand. This humble monk is not here to kill you, but for the 'Langhuan Jade Cave'."

He paused, then continued, "Moreover, Madam Wang, there are the grudges and entanglements between you, Prince Duan, and Miss Mu's master..."

"It shouldn't involve the next generation; it only creates more bloodshed."

"Um?!"

A glint flashed in Li Qingluo's eyes. Judging from the little monk's words, he clearly knew what was going on between them.

Not only did she know the biggest secret of Mantuo Manor, but she also knew about her past with Duan Zhengchun.

Who exactly is this little monk?!

How could they know so much about these secrets?!

Mu Wanqing, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered. She turned to Chen Mo and asked, "What next generation? What Prince Duan?"

"What...what does all this have to do with my master?!"

"Besides, my master is 'Guest of the Valley,' not Qin Hongmian."

Chen Mo patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Miss Mu, there's no need to rush."

"Once this matter is over, I will explain the reasons to you in detail."

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing nodded and obediently replied, "Okay, husband, I'll listen to you!"

what? !

Everyone in the hall was shocked. What was going on with these two people?!

This is a bit mind-blowing, isn't it?!

Chen Mo felt their strange looks and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He coughed twice to cover up his awkwardness.

After the initial shock, Li Qingluo quickly understood the reason behind it.

She had fought with Qin Hongmian for half her life and knew her temperament better than anyone.

This young monk must be the first man to see the woman in black's face.

Qin Hongmian, that slut, was only popular because the first man to see her face was Duan Lang.

So much so that she later shamelessly and persistently pursued her lover, Duan Lang.

Thinking of this, Li Qingluo sneered, "You and your master are just as shameless!"

"She's using a dubious vow to 'seduce' men!"

"shut up!"

Mu Wanqing's face instantly turned as cold as ice. "You are not allowed to insult my master!"

She took a sudden step forward, her hand already on the hilt of her knife, her eyes revealing a murderous intent.

Li Qingluo showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she raised her chin and said, "What? Did I hit a nerve and you're getting angry?!"

"Your master used this method back then, and now you've learned it perfectly. You really are..."

Just then.

A clear and melodious laugh suddenly came from outside the hall, "Hahaha, is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar!"

Before the words were finished, a figure in a green robe swept into the hall with a graceful and elegant movement, like a willow leaf.

The man was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a handsome face and eyes like stars. He had an air of elegance and grace in his demeanor.

It was indeed—Murong Fu!

He rushed to Mantuo Villa after receiving an urgent message from Wang Yuyan.

His gaze swept across the scene, landing on Chen Mo. According to his cousin, this young monk's strength should not be underestimated.

Murong Fu cupped his hands to Chen Mo and said, "Master, I am Murong Fu from Gusu."

"That's right, it's Murong Fu, the one known in the martial arts world as Murong of the South and Qiao Feng of the North."

"I wonder what misunderstanding exists between you and my aunt, Master? Could you please, for my sake, Murong Fu, temporarily put an end to this conflict?!"

His tone was filled with a strong sense of superiority, as if he was afraid others wouldn't know he had the title of "Southern Murong"!

No sooner had these words been spoken than a young girl in a pale yellow dress ran breathlessly into the front hall.

Her hair was slightly disheveled, and her cheeks were flushed from running; it was Wang Yuyan.

"Cousin, wait..."

Her voice carried a hint of grievance, clearly indicating that she had been rushing all the way.

Murong Fu glanced at her, his brows furrowing slightly, a hint of barely perceptible disdain flashing in his eyes.

Li Qingluo, on the other side, took in Murong Fu's subtle expressions and felt even more dislike for him.

But right now... the situation is beyond our control.

Murong Fu's arrival did indeed calm her uneasy heart a little.

After all, the reputation of the other party, 'Nan Murong', was not unfounded. His martial arts skills were among the best of the younger generation, and even among the older generation.

With Murong Fu around, at least there's not too much worry about whether that little monk might suddenly launch an attack.

Li Qingluo's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and she even subconsciously straightened her back and tidied her already meticulous clothes.

"oh?!"

Chen Mo smiled, "You are Murong Fu, the head of the Murong family of Gusu? I have long admired your name!"

"It is said that the Murong family's secret martial art, 'Shifting Stars,' is unparalleled in the world!"

"Hahaha."

When Murong Fu heard Chen Mo's compliments (as he perceived them), especially when Chen Mo mentioned his family's renowned martial arts technique, "Star Shift," he immediately felt a sense of pride.

His smile grew even more triumphant, "No problem, no problem!"

"Master, you flatter me. This empty title is just a favor from my friends in the martial arts world. You are too kind!"

His humble words, coupled with his barely concealed smug expression, made it clear to anyone that he was extremely pleased with himself.

Having finally caught her breath, Wang Yuyan spoke up, "Cousin...cousin..."

"It's this little monk who said he wanted to enter the Langhuan Jade Cave of our Mantuo Manor."
