Morning Star

If she really did that, she wouldn't have the chance to sit here and talk to him.

"..."

Only then did Chujiu suddenly remember the purpose of his visit today.

After hesitating for a while, he stammered, "Um... can I ask you a question?"

"If I say no, will you stop asking?" Mo Xinglan sneered.

Did he finally remember the purpose of looking for him?

Chujiu's eyes flashed and she continued to talk to him regardless of what he was thinking: "I... Actually, I came to you to tell you that there will be a family trial next month. Will you participate?"

That's right, this was the real reason why she came to Mo Xinglan today. But she forgot it after seeing the white porcelain jar.

“…Yes.” So after all this time, it turned out to be this, and I even got a free meal from him.

Or did she stay here to eat on purpose?

"Then, will you be in the top three?" She always felt that the black-hearted monster would hide his strength.

Mo Xinglan stared at her: "What do you want to say?"

Want him to be in the top three? What is her purpose?

"Can you get into the top three during the family trial? You are so amazing, it should be easy for you to get into the top three, right? It depends on whether you want to or not."

As he expected, Mo Xinglan sneered, "You want me to be in the top three, what is your purpose?"

The purpose? Of course, to spend enough time with you and improve your favorability! This way, she can go back earlier.

Of course she couldn't say that, or he would chop her to pieces.

"I was thinking, since you are so powerful, when we enter the place called Piaomiao Domain, if I encounter danger, I will have a place to hide."

Chujiu looked at Mo Xinglan's cold eyes and quickly added: "Of course, the most important thing is that you don't have to donate blood from time to time. When you get there, the Mo family won't be able to do anything to you. This is what I think."

After saying this, Chujiu's heart began to hang in the air. He stared at Mo Xinglan timidly, waiting for his answer.

"…"So this is the purpose? It makes sense, but unfortunately it is full of loopholes.

Besides, the most important thing is probably to find someone who can protect her, right? Not that he doesn't have to bleed from time to time.

He sneered: "Let's not talk about whether you can make it into the top three. Even if you do, Miss Chu is at least the third lady of the Chu family. Aren't there two people from the Chu family with you? Will they be able to protect you?"

“……”Why does it sound so weird?

She thought for a moment and explained, "But, but you also know the reputation of the Third Miss of the Chu family, and it seems that she has offended everyone in the Chu family. They only want to kill me, how can they protect me?"

"...That's true, but I don't seem to have any obligation to protect you. Don't you think so?" Mo Xinglan's lips curled slightly, but there was no smile.

So, her real purpose was not to ask him to protect her. But there was no way, she had said it, and there was no way to take it back. She could only bite the bullet and continue to explain: "I, I know. That's why I said to find a place to hide. Since I said I hid, I must have found it myself. You don't have to take the initiative to protect me. Besides, this is just by the way. The most important thing is for you, right?"

See, there is no evil-hearted monster here. I am doing this for your own good, and it is just a byproduct for me, so just agree to it quickly.

"Then I really want to thank Miss Chu for thinking about me." Mo Xinglan showed sarcasm.

Chujiu felt like she was about to explode. Didn't he ask her to thank him? It was just a matter of words to decide whether he agreed or not! She could make plans for the future!

Chujiu took a deep breath to calm down: "...I...Mo Xinglan, just say one word if you agree or not."

Can you please stop keeping me in suspense?

"Let me think about it." Seeing that she was a little impatient, Mo Xinglan smiled and replied lightly.

"..."

Is this even worth thinking about? This guy definitely did it on purpose!

Chujiu took another deep breath: "You... I'm going back tomorrow..."

Mo Xinglan raised his eyes with sarcasm in his eyes: "So?"

Are you leaving tomorrow? So soon?

"So you'd better think about it quickly." Chujiu glared at him.

"What if I don't agree?"

"If you... don't agree, then I won't go either." Chujiu decided to go for broke.

It was just a question of one sentence, why did he ask it? Can you give her a quick death?

"Why?" If he didn't go to Piao Miao Yu, she wouldn't go either. Is there any connection between them?

Chujiu thought: "It's safer to stay with you. You know, I'm afraid of pain and death. Who knows if I will suddenly die if I follow them. Of course, this is also possible if I stay with you, but I trust you more than them. That's it."

Mo Xinglan was stunned after hearing this and stared at her without saying a word.

She said she trusted him more. Why?

Mo Xinglan's silence made Chujiu's heart tense again.

Does he agree or not? Just say something, just one word, don't be stingy with your words.

Mo Xinglan exhaled, supported himself on the table and slowly stood up, smiling faintly: "Then it depends on whether Miss Chu has the ability to enter the top three."

Chujiu saw Mo Xinglan stand up and stood up as well, and asked in surprise: "So, you agree?"

Mo Xinglan just smiled without saying anything and raised his left arm, his meaning was obvious.

Chujiu understood and quickly stepped forward to support him: "In other words, if I can enter the top three, you can enter the top three?"

"Miss Chu, are you so confident that you can get into the top three?"

She smiled mysteriously: "I have my own methods and strategies."

Seeing her confident look, Mo Xinglan was silent for a moment, looking at the road ahead with a slight smile on his lips but said nothing.

The two came to Mo Xinglan's bedroom.

This was the first time Chujiu had walked into a man's bedroom since she came to Hualing Continent. She had often walked into her brother's bedroom when she was at home. She felt that boys' bedrooms were very simple and not as fancy as girls' bedrooms. Boys usually put some Optimus Prime figurines in their bedrooms, which only boys like.

After she helped Mo Xinglan sit down, she looked around and found a rectangular table in the middle of the room, a stool next to the table, and a dressing table by the window.

There was a book on the table. She didn't know who wrote it, but it was written in cursive script. She guessed based on the shape of the characters that it was a medical book or something.

How could a black-hearted evildoer read a medical book? Could it be that he knew medical skills?

He looked at the dressing table again with doubt.

This dressing table is obviously for women. The tabletop is very clean. There is also a dressing mirror with a silver-white frame on it. It looks quite valuable, but it is a bit old. The mirror is very clean without a trace of dust, which means it must be wiped frequently.

There is a comb compartment under the dressing mirror, and a silver-white comb is placed there, which is very beautiful. The material looks the same as the mirror frame, which is obviously silver-white, but it doesn't look like silver, nor does it look like other metal materials. I haven't seen it before.

She guessed that it should be a material unique to Hualing Continent, just like the cold white jade.

There are two drawers on both sides of the dressing mirror, and the drawers are closed.

Chujiu frowned, feeling very strange. Mo Xinglan was a man, and he hated being told that he was good-looking, but there were women's things in his bedroom.

And there was nothing else in the entire bedroom except a bed and what she just saw.

Could this dressing table and the things on it belong to his mother?

The dressing table is here, so, could this bedroom also belong to his mother?

She felt that there was something wrong with the Mohist school, a big problem. She couldn't figure it out for the time being.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing her walk around his room and stop in front of the dressing table to look at it for a long time. She didn't say a word during the whole process, so Mo Xinglan asked lightly.

"I'm looking at this comb... cough... nothing." Chujiu almost blurted out, but after reacting, he turned around and smiled at Mo Xinglan.

Mo Xinglan naturally knew what she was thinking and sneered, "Miss Chu is very curious about why there is a dressing table for women in my room?"

"Um... no, no, no, not curious, not curious." Chujiu nodded subconsciously, and quickly reacted and immediately raised his hands and shook them.

How dare she be curious? She doesn't think her life is too long.
