Chapter 407 - The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

After meal Lory begins to discussed with Zhao Li Xin "She wants you to serve Xie Hua Ling? Why?" 

"I don't know why he chooses Xie Hua Ling and not Xie Xian Zie, I think I'll found it sooner?" Zhao Li Xin props his chin with his fist.

"You think Mo Ning Yuan could give us permission to the sacred library, I don't trust her, although she came from a noble family, but the Mo family were losing their power how could she able to help us?" Lory feel dubious with Mo Ning Yuan's ability.

"Not just power but they lack money too and yet she dares to promise me five million gold tael and four grade pills...It would be interesting to see how she fulfilled her promise" Zhao Li Xin raised his eyebrows as he sneered coldly.

Lory didn't think Mo Ning Yuan dare to cheat on Zhao Li Xin but with her family condition right now her action is reckless unless she has a card under her sleeves "You think someone backed her up?" Lory's eyes bulged, that's the only possible explanation for Mo Ning Yuan's bravery.

"Why you so surprised, I believed she latch on some influential family to be her backer" Zhao Li Xin said with obvious expression. He knew too well a woman like Mo Ning Yuan as she just like Lao Min Na who attached to a powerful man one by one while slowly spread her wings and leaving them behind after they outlived their usefulness just like what happened with Zhao Yi Chen. 

"Who do you think that powerful man is?" Lory got curious as her excitement increasing.

"Don't know yet…." Said Zhao Li Xin as he rose from his seat and patted his robes "I need to meet with Mong Gui now, you should rest"

"But, I need to gather with other maids, maybe I will hear some rumors about Mo Ning Yuan" Lory grinned excitedly.

"Lory…"Zhao Li Xin reprimand her in a stern voice "Get rest or I will make you unable to leave the bed for two days!" he warned her with a serious face.

Lory smiles dryly "Oh…okay, I'll rest – I'll rest….you get going now" she shooed Zhao Li Xin away although she loves him very much but her body unable to withstand his eagerness, it's better not provoked him for a while.

Lory smiles in satisfied then he left the room feeling triumph over his princess. Lory pursed her lips, she didn't know what to do now in this small room, should she just drawing to pass sometimes, it's been a while since the last time she make a sketch. Girsha flew in from the window as he lands smoothly on the table.

[Where are you from?] lory asked as she prepared her drawing book on the table.

[Outside…hey when you get 'busy' with that boy I stay in that Mo woman place I saw her get busy with her subordinated, I feel something is not right with that woman then a man called Brother Chen visit her and you know what she gets 'busy' again with that man] Girsha said with an ecstatic voice since he came here this is the first time he sees a woman who is very 'active' is quite amusing.

[hump, her perseverance is better than you!] Girsha thought Lory need more exercise.

Lory blushed when she heard the word busy but she push the embarrassment behind her back when she heard the word Chen [Chen? You don't know his real name?] is Mo Ning Yuan backer from the Chen family.

[I don't know, she just called him brother Chen] Girsha tilted his cute head.

[Huh…] Lory pondering for a second then she glances at Girsha [We need to watch that woman]

[Done! I already attach my consciousness to other bird, I would tell you if something happened]

[Nice job, birdie!] Lory shove the bowl of gr.a.p.e in front of Girsha.

Girsha shrunk from the bowl [No, no gr.a.p.e for today…]

[That's new, what's wrong?] 

[Stomachache…] he shakes his little head with a sullen expression.

She never knew a 'first kind' could have stomachaches from too much eating gr.a.p.es [What you eat now?]

[Banana…] 

Lory narrowed her eyes, without asking further she replaces the gr.a.p.es with two pieces of banana and shoves the plate back to Girsha [Enjoy…]

[Ugh…hardly] Girsha mouth twitches in disgusted from the sight of yellow fruit.

Inside the underground bas.e.m.e.nt, Zhao Li Xin has a meeting with Mong Gui, and this time another young maid comes with mong Gui, the maid is young about sixteen - seventeen years old, she quite beautiful but not she put freckles on her face to hides her beauty.

"Milord, this one name is Yu Rui she is coming from Red Vermillion Palace, she's been served the Mo family for two years she might now more about Mo Ning Yuan than me" 

Yu Rui overly nervous in front of her Lord, she has heard a lot of rumor about her lord infamous reputation mong Gui even warned her to behave don't irk their Lord in any way. Jus a minuted in the same room with Zhao Li Xin her back already drenched with cold sweat.

"Speak…" Zhao Xin hissed.

"Ye…yes milord" Yu Rui startled but she collected herself quickly "Mo Ning Yuan is seventeen years old, she is the first daughter from the official wife of the patriarch Mo family, she is known to be a pure and gentle lady, her cultivation talent also not bad but still can't match her brother the young master Mo Xin Gi"

"What do you know about Mo Xin Gi?" Zhao Li Xin asked.

"Mo Xin Gi is a very talented young man but I have a weird rumor, they said although Master Mo is talented, but then one day his cultivation increased in high speed, they said in a less of a month he has breakthrough twice, the Mo family is awestruck by his progress, they even say Mo Xin Gi will become the strongest cultivator in SaCred Mountain peak society but suddenly he died just like that…"

"How his corpses look like when he dies"

"His personal servants at the time said, The blood burst from his nose, ears, mouth even his eyes then all of his organs is melted" Yu Rui feel chills running to her spines when she heard how Mo Xin Gi died, a handsome talented young man loses his life in a horrible way, such a pity.

"Zhao Li Xin eyebrows gradually furrows and his finger tapped on the table in monotone sounds while he immersed in deep thought then suddenly he raised his head as he speaks to Mong GUI "Send another messaged for Jin Hao" 

"Yes, Milord!" Mong Gui cupped his fist courteously.

"Is anyone know that Mo Ning Yuan stay at the temple last night?" he shifts his glance to Yu Rui.

"No Milord, that place is a taboo, because people who become monks is the outcast from Sacred Mountain Peak, a young woman like her should never involved with them but she visits that place many times in secret," said Yu Rui, she also baffled for Mo Ning yuan reason to come to that place.

"Since when she visits that place?" something flashed in Zhao Li Xin's minds.

Yu Rui tilted her head as she tries to recalled her memory "About one-half years ago" 

"Then it happened after Mo Xin Gi died" 

"Yes, Milord"

"Hm…" Zhao Li Xin rubbed his chin as he smiles mysteriously "How is that Mo woman cultivation now?"

"Rumor said she still in Master level at perfection stages," said Yu Rui again.

Zhao Li Xin sneer as he discovers something "Make sure she didn't wear any amulet or talisman to hides her cultivation, you need to watch over her closely"

"Milord, do you think she hides her cultivation, but why?" Mong Gui startled and Yu Rui's eyes also widened because of Zhao Li Xin's words, is Mo Ning Yuan pretend to be wolf in sheep's clothing?

"Just watch over that woman and be careful, she more dangerous than she looks" Zhao Li Xin strongly warned his subordinated. For Mo Ning Yuan able to moves without notices all these years it must be because she has a lot of people on her side and her hatred to Xie family….he can use her.
