Chapter 54: Chapter 42 Shy Shen Zhixia, Moves All Directions! (2-in-1 Chapter)_2

Chen Mo frowned, "We already kissed, do you still want to deny it?"

Shen Zhixia was startled by his words, recalling the "wet body" incident that day, her cheeks turned crimson, her eyes showed anger, "It was clearly you who were being presumptuous with me, and you still have the nerve to say that?"

"I don’t care, that was my first kiss, so you’re responsible for it."

"You, you’re shameless!"

"Don’t you know if I’m shameless? You even stuck your tongue out back then..."

"Don’t say it!"

Shen Zhixia raised her hand to hit him, but Chen Mo dodged to the side and surrendered with raised hands.

"Just kidding, the food is getting cold."

"Humph."

Shen Zhixia glared at him.

The mood of anxiety and uncertainty was swept away through the banter.* *Despite feeling a bit embarrassed and annoyed, her heart mysteriously felt settled much more...* *

Looking at the delicacies in front of her, she hesitated for a moment, as teaching this rogue seemed less important than eating...*

...

Prince Yu Mansion.

In the study, Chu Heng leaned against the chair, his expression relaxed, while a maid with a pleasing appearance knelt before him, busy with her head down.

Knock knock knock.

The door was knocked on, and the old butler came in.

Seeing the scene before him, his expression remained unchanged, evidently used to it.

"Is there any news?"

Chu Heng asked.

The old butler replied, "Last night, Chen Mo went to the Imperial Music Bureau, coincidentally at Qingya House where Xu Yuqiong was, and the two spent the spring night together, leaving only this morning."

"Oh?"

Chu Heng lightly stroked the maid’s hair with his fingers, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, "I was thinking of how to arrange for him to meet Yu’er, but it turned out to be so coincidental?"

"Tell Yu’er to diligently cultivate the Charming Skill, make sure to hook him for me!"

Recently, Chen Mo’s fame was rising in Tiandu City, and from his frequent visits to the Imperial Palace, as well as the Empress’s substantial rewards to him, it was evident that both sides valued his importance.

His father was a Third-Level High Official with real power, and his mother was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, backed by a First-class Sect... such a background was indeed hard to ignore.* *

*Not to mention, he himself was a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist, credited with the first kill of the Ten Great Demons.* *

Even without the Barbarian Slave Case, he was worth paying attention to.* *

"Is there anything else?" Seeing the butler’s face was tense, Chu Heng asked with a frown.

The butler said, "This morning, Lin Huai’s corpse was found."

Chu Heng shook his head, "So what if it was found? No traces were left on the body, even if investigated, it wouldn’t lead to me."

The butler’s voice turned slightly grave, continuing, "The Six Gates has already found that it was the Demon Clan’s doing, and the case has been elevated to the Eastern Royal Palace, with the Empress ordering the Three Departments to apprhoach it jointly with the Sky Scale Guard."

Upon hearing this, Chu Heng’s hand suddenly clenched, forcefully pulling out a handful of hair.

Despite intense pain, the maid dared not resist in the slightest, not even daring to whimper, and continued her work diligently.* *

"With the Evil Suppressing Jade suppressing, it could even deceive the City Protection Array, how could the Six Gates find any clues? Could that demoness have played me for a fool?"* *

"No, she has no reason to... even if a bit of demon energy leaked when interrogating Lin Huai, three days have passed, it should have dissipated long ago, how could it still be detected?"* *

Chu Heng asked with a frown, "Who is responsible for this case?"

The butler answered, "Shangguan Yunfei, but the person who found it related to the Demon Clan was Chen Mo."

With these words, the room fell silent for a moment.

Chu Heng expressed slight astonishment, "Chen Mo?! Wasn’t he at the Imperial Music Bureau last night..."

The butler said, "The case was initially investigated jointly by the Six Gates and the Ding Fire Department, but for some reason, Chen Mo also went along, and reportedly recognized it as the Demon Clan’s doing at a glance, even summoning Lin Huai’s remaining soul, who clearly did not mention the word demon..."

Chu Heng fell into a prolonged silence.* *

*After a long time, he spoke with difficulty, "Isn’t he a martial artist? How the hell can he perform summoning?"*

The butler said, "Perhaps he relied on some magical treasure... being exposed too early, certainly the city will be in a state of alarm, on high alert, continuing carries great risk, it might be better to temporarily shelve the plan, and wait for things to calm down before thinking further."*

"I’ve come this far, it’s not something that can stop just because I want to."

Chu Heng’s face turned grim, "Tell that demoness to be careful recently, and not to show herself easily."

"Yes."

The butler answered and turned to leave the room.
