Chapter 176: Chapter 107 Stacking Up High! Carrying a Knife on a Rainy Night, Not an Umbrella! (6.5K)_2

"Yu’er’s heart will always belong to master alone, and all Yu’er needs is a tiny place in master’s heart."

"Uh, I really do adore master..."

...

...

The next morning.

Chen Mo had already left.

Yu’er, with her body feeling sore, carefully sat up, gathered the handkerchief, folded it neatly, and placed it in the wooden box.

Gu Manzhi leaned against the headboard, her hair disheveled, her cheeks flushed, and her breathing still somewhat hurried.

After not seeing him for just a few days, that rascal had become even more outrageous, tormenting her all night long, nearly exhausting her to death.

He even stacked her and Yu’er up high...

If not for that rascal retaining a shred of sanity, it almost would have...

"I can’t let him have his way in the future."

"The Innate Charming Body is still not fully mastered; any mishap could be detrimental to both of us."

Though she says this, Gu Manzhi has no confidence.

Facing that aggressively masculine aura, she couldn’t muster any strength to resist.

Although Chen Mo always maintained a baseline, it was obvious he was struggling, merely enduring by sheer willpower.

"I can’t possibly..."

Thinking of the "method of revenge" Chen Mo mentioned last night, Gu Manzhi felt anxious, her head hanging down, lost in thought.

Whoosh—

At that moment, a sound of wind swept by.

From a corner, a figure in a grey robe emerged from the twisted shadow.

Seeing the two women exhausted, he asked suspiciously, "What were you doing last night, to be this tired?"

"I was with sister, accompanying master... Uh!"

Before Yu’er could finish, Gu Manzhi quickly covered her mouth.

This foolish girl, why must she blurt out everything?

The man in the grey robe looked hesitant, sensing something off about them.

"Did Chen Mo come last night?"

"Yes."

"What did he come for?"

"To deliver apples."

"..."

Seeing Gu Manzhi reluctant to elaborate, the man in the grey robe did not press further, sat down on a chair, and said, "I came to inform you that Elder Yu’s death has reached the ears of the Gu God Sect. The Gushen Sect Leader is extremely furious and said he would thoroughly investigate this matter, and they may send someone here soon."

Gu Manzhi frowned and said, "There are only ashes left; how can they investigate?"

The grey-robed man sneered, "Those wicked cultists from the Gu God Sect, one colder than the next, only care about benefits, and couldn’t care less about Yu Jie’s life or death. They claim it’s an investigation, but it’s just an excuse to cause trouble and seek benefits."

Gu Manzhi asked, "What does the Sect say?"

The grey-robed man sighed helplessly, "The Sect instructed us to cooperate as much as possible to avoid conflicts and report any situations immediately."

There’s no choice. The situation is beyond our control.

In the past, the Moon Brilliance Sect might have been able to contend with the Gu God Sect.

But now with the sect in ruins and the disciples reduced, the two sides are not even on the same level, not to mention Ji Lianxing still wants to use the power of the Gu God Sect for revenge...

"To cooperate with those Evil Cultivators is like seeking skin from a tiger, it will backfire sooner or later, and the last bit of value left in the Moon Brilliance Sect will be drained dry," Gu Manzhi said gravely.

The man in the grey robe shook his head, "If you can see that, how could the master not understand it? It’s just that faced with a formidable enemy like Consort Yu, there’s no other choice but to make some sacrifices."

Gu Manzhi was momentarily speechless.

Thump thump thump—

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

The maid’s voice came from outside, "Miss, Miss Zi from the Liuyun Inn has arrived, saying she has something to discuss with you."

Yu’er frowned, "I haven’t even gone to trouble her yet, and she dares to come here provoking?"

She was still holding a grudge from the incident at last night’s banquet!

"Sister, I really despise that vile woman; you need to give her a good scolding!" Yu’er said, her bosom heaving as she clenched her fists.

Zi Yan’er?

Gu Manzhi recalled.

Last time at the Purple Huai Workshop, it seemed she was trying to seduce Chen Mo, still harboring ill intentions it seems...

"Let her in."

"Yes."

The servant outside responded.

After a moment, the door opened.

A figure in a purple gauze dress, Zi Yan’er, gracefully stepped inside.

"Miss Yu’er, we meet again..."

Her words abruptly stopped as she stared blankly at Yu’er, her eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.

What’s going on?

An overnight transformation from a dead person to a living one?

Then she glanced at the young maid beside her and then towards the shadowy corner of the room.

Two Magicians, judging from their aura, at least Sixth-Rank...

The humble Cloudwater Hall indeed hides dragons and crouching tigers!

Initially, she planned to use the same tactic to get close to Chen Mo through Yu’er, but seeing this, she decided it was best not to act rashly.

Yu’er glared at her, annoyed, "You wanted to see me about something?"

Zi Yan’er, her thoughts whirling rapidly, smiled slightly and softly said, "I was thoughtless before and offended Miss Yu’er; I specially came today to apologize, hoping you will not take me too seriously."

?

Yu’er was already prepared to pull hair, but unexpectedly, the other party suddenly softened, catching her off guard.

As the saying goes, do not strike a smiling face. With Zi Yan’er taking such a humble stance, she really felt awkward to cause a scene.

Zi Yan’er gestured with her hand.

A maid behind her stepped forward, placing a box of tea on the table.

"This is top-quality Jade Feather Fragrant Tea; it’s a small token of my apology. I hope Miss Yu’er won’t refuse."

Then, without giving Yu’er a chance to refuse, she bowed gracefully, "If there’s anything in the future, just let me know. I think we might get along well; perhaps we can even become friends... I won’t disturb Miss Yu’er’s rest any longer, farewell."

With that, she led the maid away.

Yu’er frowned deeply, puzzled, "Strange, Zi Yan’er was previously very arrogant. How has she suddenly changed like this?"

Gu Manzhi shook her head, "In the pleasure quarters, everyone is plainly priced; without the status and title of an Oiran, naturally, she can’t be as bold as before."
