"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.
