Time Travel and Love

Seeing Kui Wenzhong engaged the man, Kui Wuqing tacitly withdrew from the fight and used all his strength to deal with the remaining dozen or so assassins. Mo Liujin landed beside Chu Qingmeng, followed closely by Mo Liufang. Mo Chenfeng, with a hurried cry of "My son," also landed beside Chu Qingmeng, and Mo Liuyuan rushed towards Mu Lingxue. The remaining three were left to deal with the situation outside.

"Qingmeng!" Mo Liujin saw her back was completely soaked with blood, and was so frightened that he didn't know how to touch her. Mo Liufang wanted to rush forward and take her away, but he couldn't, and could only stand aside awkwardly. Chu Qingmeng just stared straight at the assassin fighting with Kui Wenzhong. After dealing with the assassin, Kui Wuqing looked back at Chu Qingmeng. An unintentional glance suddenly frightened him, and he shouted, "Brother! Catch him alive! That dart is poisonous!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Liujin, his son, and his three companions' pupils shrank as they hurriedly checked Chu Qingmeng's arm. Kui Wenzhong hastily withdrew his palm strike and kicked the man, sending him slamming into the wall. He spat out a mouthful of blood, seemingly breathless and unable to move. He dragged the man like a chicken and threw him in front of Chu Qingmeng, kneeling on one knee to apologize. "Master, I was a bit too harsh. He's barely alive."

Everyone present was stunned. The Imperial Guards had long been subdued by the men brought back by Mo Chenfeng and his son. Now the courtyard was silent. Everyone had already seen through their skills that this man, wearing Fei Ling's face, wasn't Fei Ling at all! This man's martial arts skills were too high! Killing such a skilled assassin was so easy, it took less than a cup of tea! And yet he actually called Chu Qingmeng "Master"?

"Master!" Kui Wuqing also knelt on one knee and pleaded with Chu Qingmeng, "Old Four has many miracle doctors, please don't blame Big Brother."

Chu Qingmeng had calmed down now. He only felt the excruciating pain in his back. He didn't care about the pain in his arm at all. He endured the pain and said, "It's okay, let's go find out what's going on." Then he looked up at Mo Chenfeng, "Father, mother and the others are in the dark room of eldest brother's study."

After taking a few breaths, he raised his other uninjured arm with a face covered in cold sweat and grabbed the dazed Mo Liujin and said, "If you keep staring blankly, I'm going to bleed to death."

Mo Liujin finally reacted and leaned over to let Mo Jiangqing carry Chu Qingmeng on his back. He then took people back to his own yard. The court physician had not arrived yet, but Kui Wenzhong had already brought in a doctor and even thoughtfully found a female doctor.

Everything was handled properly, except for Chu Qingmeng's poison. It was already dawn. Chu Qingmeng felt a little numb in her arms, but other parts of her body were not affected. After a bloody battle, she couldn't calm down. She took two painkillers and lay on the bed with her face turned sideways. The wound on her face was just a scratch on the flesh. She would probably use some scar removal medicine in the future to prevent scars. However, the cut on her back was too long, so it would definitely leave a scar. The two brothers were blaming themselves for not being able to protect their mother, but instead letting her get injured to protect them. Chu Qingmeng sighed, "Goodbye, my bikini."

Mu Lingxue spat out all her tea. Mo Liujin, his father, and his two sons were completely bewildered. They only understood the three words "goodbye forever." Mo Liujin frowned and asked, "Who is Bikini?"

"Hahaha!" Mu Lingxue laughed when she heard Mo Liujin's question, and gloated, "Chu Qingmeng, let's see how you explain it!"

"..." Chu Qingmeng blamed himself for being too talkative, so he changed the subject and said, "Don't worry about that for now. Tell me first, why didn't you tell me you were attending to the sick last night? And how did you get back?"

Mo Liujin sighed softly and asked, "Explain first, why does Viper on the fifth floor call you Grandpa? Why aren't you surprised at all that Fei Ling was replaced, and you seem to be very familiar with him? How come I never knew you knew someone with such high martial arts skills?"

"..." This man, as expected, refused to take any losses. He wanted to ask him, but he had to resolve his own doubts before he could explain. Helplessly, he revealed everything, "The fifth floor was left to me by Ling Xianfu... Senior Brother, as a reserve for emergencies. Little did I know, after only two weeks of taking over, the shadows on the fifth floor were almost completely wiped out in the palace. Mo Liujin, the rules of the fifth floor are that shadows have to pay a premium for their actions. You have to pay me more..."

"..." Mo Liujin frowned. Why was it Ling Xian again? He seemed to be so accurate in predicting everything! "Did you also have Fei Ling replaced?"

"He's not." Chu Qingmeng felt her neck was uncomfortable in this position, but any movement would pull at the wounds on her face and back. She instantly felt the painkillers were no longer effective. Mo Liujin quickly reached out to support her, preventing her from moving. Chu Qingmeng spoke in pain, "Father... Senior Brother originally wanted Wen Zhong to follow me as a secret guard, but because I was watching ants, you took away the power to dispose of the secret guards, and he couldn't get in. He had no choice but to replace Fei Ling. I hadn't originally thought of using Fei Ling. If I had known in advance that you had hired an assassin on the fifth floor to be by my side, there would have been no need to replace Fei Ling."
