Chapter 25 Meeting an Old Friend at the Buddhist Hall Chapter 25 Meeting an Old Friend at the Buddhist Hall (2/2)
However, Mo Xuetong did not dare to let her guards down. A person like this had appeared on a night like this. This alone was odd. Furthermore, she did not know where the sheet of paper she had came from either. Why could this sheet of paper allow her to ask for two highly trained secret guards? And what was involved in this matter?
She was afraid that he would ask too many questions and she would ruin the whole thing if she could not answer them!
What she needed most now were helpers.
”Sir, how do you know there are not any dangers in the inner courtyards? The inner courtyards are even better at hiding their schemes at harming others than the front courtyard. It is easy to avoid direct attacks, but hard to defend against hidden swords.” Mo Xuetong gritted her teeth and said coldly. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes. Her mother was such a good person, but had died in the struggles of the inner courtyard and had been harmed by Auntie Fang. How could her heart not hurt?
”Oh, so you're saying that the situation inside the inner courtyard of the Mo Manor is even more exciting than the killings between men?” The man asked with a smile, a hint of laughter flas.h.i.+ng past his eyes.
”Sir, I came today for the secret guards. Is the item I brought correct?” Mo Xuetong did not wish to have anything to do regarding this matter with a strange and dangerous man. She reminded him helplessly.
”It is not wrong. But if someone else had come, I would allow you to take two of them as long as I see the sheet of paper. But if it's you...” The handsome man stroke his bald chin playfully and answered lazily. ”Third Young Miss Mo, Mo Xuetong, is it? I am willing to make a gesture of goodwill towards you again.”
”...” Mo Xuetong bit her lips and said, ”I don't know what sir means...”
She was not surprised that a person like him would know her ident.i.ty.
”If you are willing to become my maid, I will even give you a team of my secret guards, much less just two. How about it?” The man headed up to her suddenly. He breathed into her ear warmly and laughed.
”Sir, please respect yourself.” Mo Xuetong lowered her head and looked down. Her expression was cold and distant. ”I came only for the two secret guards.”
”Alright, what are you so nervous about? I won't eat you up. Since you're not willing, I will not force you. If you extend your sharp fangs and claws, I'd be the one on the losing end.” The s.e.xy breathing moved away from her slightly. She could only heave a large sigh of relief then. However, she did not understand why he would say that.
”Clap clap” The man in purple clapped his hands lightly. A man and a woman appeared in the hall immediately.
They went up to the man in purple and knelt down...
”The female one will be called Mo Ye and the male, Mo Feng. One of them will guard you by your side and the other in secret. Will this do?”
”Many thanks, sir.” Mo Xuetong finally heaved a sigh of relief. The matter had been resolved successfully.
”Go and greet your new mistress. She will be your mistress from now on.”
”Greetings, mistress.” The two stood up and knelt on one knee in front of Mo Xuetong. Mo Feng was a young man in his 20s. He had a sharp gaze and one could tell at a glance that he was good at fighting. Mo Ye was a weak and gentle woman who looked very beautiful. One could not tell that she knew martial arts at all.
Mo Xuetong reached out and gestured for them to stand. When they stood up, Mo Xuetong turned to the man in purple and said, ”Many thanks for your help, Sir. If you have other needs in the future, I will try my best to help.”
”As long as you are willing, there will be opportunities for you to repay this in the future.”
Mo Xuetong was a little annoyed when she saw that he was speaking to her informally. She bit her lips and then said, ”If there is nothing else, I'll leave first.”
”Don't hurry to go!” The man in purple immediately started to look serious. There was a light dancing in his eyes. He waved his hand and Mo Feng and Mo Yet disappeared. ”Third Young Miss Mo, I trust that our conversation earlier will not spread. Right?”
”Yes. I have never seen you and have never spoken with you.” Mo Xuetong answered steadily.
”Go!” This time, he acted swiftly and did not make things difficult for her. He waved his hand and gestured for her to leave.
Mo Xuetong walked out of the door. She was covered in cold sweat. Mo Ye was waiting at the door. She went up to help Mo Xuetong and the two started on the path back.
”Your Highness, there were a few people who barged in earlier and are circling around where you're staying. They are hiding under the large tree outside your room. What should we do?” A guard emerged from the shadows from deep inside the hall and asked respectfully.
”They're here again! Since they're here, lead them on a nice long walk and have them admire the night scenery of the Repayment Temple.” The man in purple lifted his handsome brows and said lazily. His face was filled with a cold, sinister aura. The faint mocking look in his eyes shone under the light.
”Yes, I'll get people to lead them in circles.”
”The night is looking good. Make them take more circles.”
”Yes.”
