Morning Star

Chapter 374 Do you want me to save Tian Yi and the others?

Mo Xinglan silently and lightly applied the ointment on her knees.

He remained expressionless throughout the entire process.

"Xingxing..." Chujiu finally couldn't help but called him softly.

He paused his hand movements, lowered his eyes and waited quietly for her words.

She opened her mouth and seemed to be hesitant to speak, her fair face slightly red, and it took her a while to speak.

"Can I... kiss you?"

"!"

He finally raised his eyes and looked at her but quickly looked away again and did not take any further action.

"why?"

The voice was light and no emotion could be heard.

Chujiu tightened her hands on her legs, pulling at the hem of her skirt, and drooped her eyelashes: "...You are unhappy, I want to make you happier."

This request was quite excessive, but in the past, as long as she kissed him, he would feel better. This was the only way she could think of to make him happy.

Of course, if you make a face to tease him, he might become happy, but that would make you look like a psychopath.

"...The medicine has been applied." Mo Xinglan gently let go of her legs, turned around and got off the bed.

After putting the small white bottle back in its place, he went out again.

Chujiu silently watched his back as he left and felt very uncomfortable.

Why did it become like this again? No one did anything wrong, but it always felt so far away.

Today should be a happy day, but he was not happy at all. Even though they were together, his eyes were always avoiding her.

What's wrong?

Chujiu fell asleep gradually with countless questions in mind.

When Mo Xinglan came back with the food, he saw her curled up on the bed without even a blanket covering her.

The hand holding the food paused for a moment, and he put the food on the table with his eyes lowered, then walked over and covered her with the quilt.

He turned around and looked at the food on the table but had no appetite, so he asked someone to take it away.

I should have told her before, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen asleep. But why didn't I tell her?

……

The next day, Chi Feng and Hua Hua came back and brought news about Hua Ling's recent situation.

Chi Feng took a sip of water and raised his chin towards Hua Hua, motioning Hua Hua to continue.

Huahua rolled her eyes at him and continued, "Chu Wenxuan and Alger were in danger in Ping'an City, and Alger's father brought people to rescue them. When Amuda arrived, he was seriously injured in order to save Chu Wenxuan and the others, and was also captured. His current whereabouts are unknown."

Chi Feng finished drinking the water and said, "While Amuda led his men away from the Chu family, the Sima family broke into the Chu family and threatened to kill... er..."

He looked at Chujiu hesitantly and said, "He wanted to kill your mother. Then your father and mother were seriously injured. Fortunately, an old man... I think his name is..."

He held his chin and thought for a while: "Zhan Ming... Oh, I can't remember. Anyway, he helped you, so your parents should not be dead."

"It's Master!" Chujiu was a little shocked.

I was even more worried when I heard about the Chu family’s current situation.

She didn't expect Mo Hengsong to act so quickly. If this continues, the Chu family might...

"I want to save people." She turned and looked at Mo Xinglan anxiously.

Mo Xinglan pursed her pink lips into a straight line and said neither yes nor no.

But Chujiu couldn't wait and paced back and forth anxiously in the study.

He muttered to himself, "No, no, calm down, I need to sort it out first."

He put his hand on his chin, his mind racing: "This is a plot. But with my parents' cultivation, how could they be seriously injured so easily? Are the people from the Sima family that powerful? How dare they break into the Chu family and hurt people?"

You know, no one dared to provoke the Chu family before. Are they trying to kill themselves?

Mo Xinglan looked at her turning around, wondering what she was thinking.

"Hey, stop turning. I feel dizzy." Chi Feng walked forward and grabbed Chu Jiu's arm to ask her to stop.

"call out--"

Just as Chi Feng grabbed Chujiu, a spiritual wind blade attacked him.

He jumped back when he sensed danger, and looked at Mo Xinglan in horror. After seeing his cold expression, he immediately lowered his head and said, "Master, I was wrong."

Huahua was laughing secretly with glee on the side.

Mo Xinglan ignored them and looked at Chujiu, gently patting the seat next to him: "Jiu'er, come here."

Chujiu looked at him, hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat next to him.

"No matter how much the Chu family suffered, it is impossible for the Sima family to defeat them in such a short time. Moreover, my parents' cultivation is not low. It stands to reason that no one in the Sima family can defeat them together."

Otherwise, how could the Chu family be so intimidating before? Moreover, the Chu family is so large and winding. During this period of time, many traps and military lines must have been set up outside the family. How could the Sima family break in so easily?

Suddenly her eyes turned cold, and she thought of something: "It was Xu Lian. She must have leaked the family's defense information."

It's just her.

After he finished speaking, a hand gently rubbed her head, and she looked up in confusion.

Mo Xinglan's long eyelashes trembled and she whispered, "Hmm."

Then he changed the subject: "But it is not enough for her to just reveal the deployment information."

"Anything else?" Chujiu asked.

He paused and took his hand back, lowered his eyes and replied calmly: "Do you remember that Mo Hengsong gave a large amount of elixirs to various families?"

She nodded: "I find this strange. Is Mo Hengsong so generous? Or are elixirs worthless these days? Even if the alchemist is willing to make elixirs for him, he wouldn't give them away for free, right?"

Mo Xinglan shook his head: "To be able to refine so many pills in a short period of time, Mo Hengsong must have the help of a high-level alchemist behind him."

Moreover, that person was already very skilled in alchemy, and he was almost certain to succeed. Such an alchemist must be at least of the eighth rank.

"So... those alchemists hired by Mo Hengsong were just a cover?" Chujiu suddenly realized.

Mo Xinglan nodded: "Yes."

"Who could that person be that helped Mo Hengsong?"

This time Mo Xinglan fell into silence for a while.

"Then what are the functions of those Yuling Pills and Yuxin Pills? Why did Mo Hengsong give them to them?" Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Chujiu asked again.

He came back to his senses and thought for a moment: "It should be able to greatly improve my cultivation."

"Hmm..." Chujiu nodded thoughtfully, "If that's the case, then it would explain why Dad and Mom were injured."

After saying that, he thought of another question: "Such a powerful pill, why haven't I heard anyone mention it before?"

He raised his eyes and looked at Mo Xinglan: "Do you know?"

He was silent again for a moment, his eyes dimmed: "I don't know."

After a pause, he continued, "But the refining materials should contain my blood."

"I think so." Chujiu sighed, "Your blood is really a treasure."

Suddenly she thought of something and looked him over: "I have always had a question."

Mo Xinglan could almost guess what she was thinking when he saw her looking at him.

He shook his head and laughed at himself: "My blood is of no use to me."

Chujiu opened his mouth, but the words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.

In the end, I kept my mouth shut and didn't talk about it.

That's right, she had never seen him use his own blood to heal his own wounds before. But every time she was injured, he would use his blood to heal her.

"Let's think about how to save people." She lowered her eyes and changed the subject.

After all, it is about rescuing people, and it is safest to do it in secret. So after several discussions, it was finally decided that Mo Xinglan and Chu Jiu would lead two hundred Mo Yu soldiers to secretly go to Hualing to rescue the Chu family.

When leaving, Chi Feng and Hua Hua also insisted on following along.

Thinking that saving people was different from gathering information, and was more dangerous, Chujiu refused at first, but Mo Xinglan strangely agreed to let them follow. The Moyu Army followed in secret.

This time, Chujiu and Mo Xinglan did not need to leave the Demon Realm as they did before, but instead used the portal directly.

It was much faster to go through the portal than through the barrier, and it took only a quarter of an hour to get out of the Demon Realm. When I came out, it was still a forest, but it didn't look like the forest next to the space barrier before.

The two men and two monsters had not been walking in the forest for long when they met an old acquaintance.

"Grandpa!" Chujiu was surprised when he saw the person coming, "Why are you here?"

Chi Feng and Hua Hua, who were on guard at first, immediately let down their guard when they saw that Chu Jiu knew this person and called him so affectionately.

Mo Xinglan was also surprised that the old shopkeeper came here, but did not ask any questions.

The old shopkeeper first greeted him with a kind smile.

Then he looked at Mo Xinglan with a serious expression: "I would like to ask Mr. Mo to save a few people."

Mo Xinglan narrowed his eyes and did not rush to speak, but Chujiu spoke doubtfully: "We are going to save people."

The old shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, but before he could finish his words, Mo Xinglan asked, "You want me to save Tian Yi and the others?"

Except for Tian Yi and his companions, everyone else in Piaomiao Domain had come out. The fact that Tian Yi and his companions were trapped in Piaomiao Domain was now known to everyone in Hualing. When Chi Feng and Hua Hua came back, they also brought back this news.

Everyone was stunned, but the old shopkeeper reacted the fastest and nodded, "That's right."

"No." Mo Xinglan said these two words coldly and took Chujiu away.

Once the two of them left, Chi Feng and Hua Hua would naturally follow.

The old shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Mo Xinglan to refuse so directly.

After coming to his senses, he chased after him, and followed Mo Xinglan and said earnestly: "I know you are still upset about the fact that they hurt you before, but only you can stabilize the rampant monsters in Piaomiao Domain."

Mo Xinglan didn't even look at him. Instead, Chujiu sneered, "Grandpa, this is not a question of whether they hurt Xingxing or not. It's that they are not only repaying kindness with enmity, but also wrongly accusing people without any evidence."

"This..." The old shopkeeper was speechless, "It's true that they are wrong, but..."

"No buts." Chujiu interrupted immediately, taking a deep breath, "You didn't see their faces at that time, as if my Xingxing was some kind of unforgivable sinner. It's bad enough that they bully the weak and the few, but they also take advantage of others' misfortune."
