A dazed look appeared in Mo Ran's eyes:

"W-what kind of trickery is this?"

Liu Bai glanced at him and said calmly:

"If Bai Chongshan is behind them, then~"

Mo Ran seemed to realize it instantly:

"I understand! Bai Chongshan has always been wary of our master because he is concerned about protecting the country. Therefore, he sent his favorite student, Yu Moyan, to test our master."

"Wait a minute, that doesn't make sense either. Yu Moyan is Yu Shuyan's older brother. If she could have cured Yu Moyan earlier, why did she wait until now? This doesn't make sense!"

Gong Mojue looked out the window again, his voice cold and sharp:

"Yes, it doesn't make sense. This brother and sister are really quite interesting."

A cool glint flashed in the white space beneath his eyes:

"Master, the stranger they are, the more it indicates something is wrong with them. Should we send them away?"

Gong Mojue frowned slightly, but kept staring out the window and did not respond for a long time.

Mo Ran became anxious:

"Leave blank space, what are you talking about? We haven't even figured things out yet. How could you be thinking about... thinking about killing someone!"

The hand left at the side unconsciously clenched tight:

"Have you forgotten what we bear? What we are doing cannot afford any accidents. We cannot gamble with the blood debt of millions for the sake of two people, do you understand?"

Mo Ran was stunned for a moment. When he saw the deep resentment and anger swirling in Liu Bai's eyes, he opened his mouth, but in the end, he lowered his head and said nothing more.

Liu Bai stared intently at Gong Mojue, his eyes filled with determination:

"My lord, we cannot afford to be so sentimental!"

Gong Mojue slowly turned around, meeting Liu Bai's eyes, which were filled with determination and complex emotions. His gaze was deep, and after a long while, he slowly spoke:

"Leave blank spaces, I understand what you mean, then~"

"Your Highness, Yu Moyan requests an audience with you!"

Suddenly, the servant's voice came from outside the door.

A chill flashed in Liu Bai's eyes:

"Master, I'll take care of him!"

Mo Ran suddenly looked up, her eyes flashing with anxiety:

"Master, I think we should find out his purpose in coming here before making a decision!"

Gong Mojue glanced at the blank space:

"Bring him here."

The boy took the order and left.

Although disappointment flashed in his eyes, he said nothing and disappeared into the shadows.

Gong Mojue sighed softly and looked at Mo Ran:

"Mo Ran, you know Liu Bai's identity, and you know what he went through. Don't think he's cold-blooded; he's just carrying too much on his shoulders and can't afford any accidents."

A layer of mist gathered in his ink-black eyes, which he lowered to hide his expression.

"My lord, I would never think that way. In fact, leaving things unsaid is the safest approach. I just—"

Gong Mojue interrupted him:

"Alright, let's see what he has to say."

Mo Ran turned around and stood beside him. When she looked up, she saw Yu Moyan, who had already walked in.

However, when he saw the person following Yu Moyan, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and he suddenly looked at Gong Mojue.

Although Gong Mojue's expression remained unchanged, his slightly narrowed eyes still betrayed a hint of surprise.

However, being as composed as he was, he quickly regained his composure, his usual cold and indifferent expression revealing not a trace of emotion. He simply stared coldly at the two of them, without uttering a word.

"I've met the prince."

Yu Moyan bowed respectfully.

"Yuanniang greets Your Highness."

Yu Shuyan, wearing a veil, also bowed respectfully.

Suddenly, she felt a cold, probing gaze fall upon her. Though invisible, it gave her a suffocating feeling, as if she were being seen through.

She gritted her teeth and managed to keep her legs from giving way, but her back was covered in a thick layer of sweat.

Actually, when Yu Moyan told her that he was inquiring about Yuan Niangzi's identity in order to get close to Gong Mojue, she knew that her brother was doing this to deal with Changning.

Moved, she confessed to him without hesitation that she was Yuan Niangzi.

She also told him that the reason she presented herself as Lady Yuan was because she was afraid that if Lady Wen knew her true identity, she would not be willing to divorce her easily.

The reason for not telling them was that Wen Lang, with his shrewdness, would notice something from their words and actions.

Now they are divorced, and she has gained custody of the little boy.

Her identity no longer needed to be hidden.

However, she did suggest that she come with him to see Gong Mojue.

At first, Yu Moyan was against it.

However, Yu Shuyan persisted.

Yu Moyan was shocked and puzzled. How could his younger sister, whom he had watched grow up, suddenly possess such superb medical skills? However, since she didn't want to talk about it, he naturally wouldn't press her for details.

Moreover, since she insists, he won't refuse.

At this moment, he noticed Yu Shuyan's discomfort and subtly moved a step forward, blocking her path.

"Your Highness, staring at a woman like that is not the behavior of a gentleman!"

Mo Ran shouted:

"Yu Moyan, who gave you the audacity to dare to do this?!"

Gong Mojue raised his hand, interrupting him, his eyes fixed intently on Yu Moyan:

"So, who is she!"

Yu Moyan turned her head and looked at Yu Shuyan.

Gong Mojue, however, remained cold and indifferent:

"Now that you're here, do you think you can decide for yourself whether to lift or put on this veil?"

Hearing the domineering and coldness in his voice, Yu Moyan suddenly regretted bringing Yu Shuyan along.

Yu Shuyan noticed the worry in his eyes, but gave him a reassuring look, walked past him, took a step forward, and looked directly at Gong Mojue.

She's already died once, she's even passed through the gates of hell once, what's there to be afraid of?

Although she kept reassuring herself in her heart, when she actually met Gong Mojue's deep, cold, and unfathomable eyes, her heart still involuntarily tightened to the point of almost suffocating.

But as she forced herself to stay awake and looked directly into those eyes again, she suddenly froze:

Those eyes~

Why does it feel so familiar?

It seems like I've seen this somewhere before!

Gong Mojue's eyes also wavered for a moment, and his brows furrowed involuntarily, as if he too was momentarily distracted!

The two of them just looked at each other quietly, without making a sound for a long time!
