Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law

Chapter 792 - 797-798: Yu Zhu’s Peeping and Stalking (Part 2)

"Miss Yuzhu came over just now," Chen Mo said."Ah?!" Lin Xuelan was startled, her pretty face once again blushing, and after a moment, she thought of something. Since Yuzhu is going with her to rescue from the execution ground the day after tomorrow, fearing it may be a one-way trip, it might be better to have her give her body to Young Master Mo to repay the life-saving grace.

After all, Young Master Mo not only saved her, but also Yuzhu.

She concealed the shame beneath her expression and softly said, "Young Master Mo, what do you think of Yuzhu? How about Xuelan gives Yuzhu..."

"Stop overthinking, sleep,"

Chen Mo knew what she wanted to say, interrupted her words.

"Young Master Mo, Yuzhu wouldn’t mind."

"What are you thinking about? Go to sleep."

"Young Master Mo doesn’t like Yuzhu?"

"If you don’t sleep, then I will have to..."

"Ah? No, I’ll sleep, I’ll sleep."

The room filled with some joyful playfulness.

And Yuzhu, who left Chen Mo’s courtyard, almost fled.

She swore, tonight was definitely the most awkward and embarrassing time for her.

At the same time, she felt a hint of shame, because earlier, she had been captivated by the scene. When everything inside the room ended and she wanted to leave, her legs inexplicably gave out, causing her to fall to the ground with a noise.

It seemed like the two people inside the room must have noticed.

She had no idea how to face Miss tomorrow.

...

The next day.

Chen Mo did not forget about Nalan Yiren’s matter just because he slept with Lin Xuelan.

Seeing that Nalan Yiren hadn’t returned all night, Chen Mo woke Lin Xuelan and told her to rest well, as he went out himself, not to wait for him.

Lin Xuelan noticed that Miss Lan and the others hadn’t been home much these days, and understood "Ink Language" came to the Capital City to truly handle some matters.

She was very thoughtful, did not ask him anything, just nodded and told Chen Mo to be careful and stay safe.

...

"Boss, one bowl of wontons and two sticks of fried dough."

"Alright, guest, please wait, have a seat first."

...

At a breakfast stall, Chen Mo came to the table and sat down. It was still early, and there were not many people at the stall. Chen Mo looked at the residential house across the street and said, "How’s it going?"

Si Song at the adjacent table was sipping porridge and murmured, "Ever since he left the tavern, he has been holed up at home, hasn’t come out, and no one has gone to find him."

"There’s no tunnel or anything, right? Sneaking away right under your noses?"

"No, Yiren has been watching from the next house. The person hasn’t left Yiren’s sight."

...

"Guest, your wontons and fried dough are ready." At this moment, the boss came over carrying the wontons and fried dough, so Chen Mo stopped talking to Si Song.

After eating the wontons, Chen Mo picked up the fried dough and walked towards the adjacent house that Si Song had mentioned.

The house next door, mentioned by Si Song, was home to a family of four—a middle-aged couple and two sons under ten. To better monitor the High Priest’s people next door, Nalan Yiren temporarily subdued this family.

When Chen Mo entered, the family was trembling and looking at him, their faces filled with fear, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.

"I gave them mute medicine; it doesn’t harm the body—just stops speech temporarily." As if fearing Chen Mo would misunderstand her as ruthless in her methods, Nalan Yiren explained, then looked at the family of four, "Rest assured, I won’t harm your lives."

However, her smoky voice made the family even more fearful.

Seeing this, Nalan Yiren didn’t say much more; she just wanted them to sit quietly.

Chen Mo didn’t say anything but handed her the fried dough, then avoiding the family slightly, he said, "You watched all night, must be tired. Rest after eating, I’ll cover for you."

Nalan Yiren initially wanted to refuse, but Chen Mo continued, "Who knows how long this will take? One night is fine, but you can’t possibly not rest every day and watch him anytime and anywhere, your body can’t handle it. If something happens, and you haven’t rested well, how could you seek revenge?"

Nalan Yiren was convinced, looked deeply, accepted the fried dough, and said, "Thank you."

"Just a trivial matter."

Over here, Nalan Yiren ate, but hadn’t closed her eyes for half an hour before Chen Mo woke her up: "Miss Nalan, wake up, something’s happening, someone’s here to find him."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yiren was instantly wide awake and watched alongside Chen Mo.

The visitor was also dressed in black, slender with an aquiline nose, and in Chen Mo’s view, there was a red number 89 on his forehead, indicating he was a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist.

A weaker Seventh-Grade Martial Artist, matching the person he came to find in the same realm.

With Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren’s ear power, they also heard what the man said.

"Sunflower Thorn, why are you here?"

"Scorpion, the High Priest has a matter for you, go to the Underground Palace immediately, don’t make any mistakes."

"What matter?"

"Scorpion, you’ve been with the High Priest for so long, have you forgotten the High Priest’s rules? There are things we’re not meant to know, so don’t ask." This meant he didn’t know either.

Scorpion furrowed his brows, "Got it, I’ll go inside and tell my wife."

...

While this conversation fell into the ears of Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren, her eyes shone, and she was even more convinced of their close relationship with that beast.

"Looks like this person is going to meet the High Priest, but somehow I feel something’s off," Chen Mo whispered.

"What’s off?" While asking Chen Mo, Nalan Yiren’s eyes followed Scorpion’s movements.

"Don’t you think it’s too smooth? We just got the news yesterday, and today we can directly locate him. Judging by the cautious behavior of these two here, that beast would only be more cautious, how could he expose his whereabouts so soon? And from what they say, the Underground Palace? Perhaps it’s that beast’s lair," Chen Mo replied.

"Doesn’t this all the more show how well we’re hidden?"

Although Nalan Yiren also felt something was amiss, ten years had passed, and seeing the chance for revenge so close, she couldn’t let it slip by.

"I feel it’s better to be cautious," Chen Mo reminded.

"They’re moving."

Nalan Yiren quickly tidied up her things and got ready to act.

She didn’t follow too closely. After Scorpion exited the house for a while, she followed him from the adjacent house.

Before leaving, she left the family a remedy that, when consumed, would restore their ability to speak sooner.

Si Song at the breakfast stall also got up and started to act.

Chen Mo was about to follow, but Nalan Yiren suddenly stopped, pleading with him: "The one who came for Scorpion hasn’t left yet, please... help me watch him."

Nalan Yiren worried that Scorpion might be a Blinding Technique, that the real trail to that beast would be Sunflower Thorn.

As she said this, she summoned a Black Poison Bee from a bamboo cage under her black robe, letting it follow Chen Mo, saying, "If anything happens here, let it come to inform me."

After speaking, Nalan Yiren chased after Si Song’s nearly disappearing figure.

Chen Mo watched her leaving silhouette, opened his mouth, but said nothing; her concern was very reasonable.

After all, if there was no breakthrough from her side,

he could always keep an eye on Sunflower Thorn’s trail.

Later, tracking both lines, they would surely find that beast.

The Black Poison Bee trained by Nalan Yiren was very intelligent and flew directly into Chen Mo’s sleeve, resting inside the sleeve cuff after she left.

Chen Mo returned to the residential house next to Scorpion.

The family of four, with the male head holding the antidote but not daring to use it, saw Chen Mo returning, frightened, hurriedly put down the antidote, backed into the corner, protecting his wife and children while waving his hand fearfully, as if telling Chen Mo not to come over.

Chen Mo sighed, told them not to move, and continued to watch.

Sunflower Thorn didn’t stay long at Scorpion’s house—about as long as a cup of tea—before he moved on.

"Just act as if you never saw us, keep your mouths shut, don’t say anything, or else you know what will happen."

Chen Mo said to the male head, left a silver ingot, and departed.
