Gong Mojue's eyes were deep as he looked at them:

"Don't you all suspect why the Wu sisters didn't go anywhere else, but instead chose to join the Yu family?!"

Mo Ran's eyes widened suddenly:

"Master, are you saying that it was arranged by Fu Daru?"

Gong Mojue nodded:

"That must be it. When Gong Nanxian suddenly launched his attack, I was barely able to protect myself. Although I did my best to help the Wu sisters escape, I was powerless to settle them down. Later, when I sent people to find them, I was surprised that they had changed their household registration, stayed in Lingjin City, and even got married."

"Today, we have the answer!"

Leaving blank space and frowning:

"Master, the entire Fu family has gone into seclusion, leaving their only daughter in Lingjin City. Moreover, they've also kept the Wu sisters by her daughter's side. Aren't they afraid of implicating their daughter?"

Gong Mojue shook his head:

"No. Because Fu Daru's only daughter initially wanted to marry Yu Wantao because she had taken a liking to him. Although Fu Daru didn't care about family background or social status, he was, after all, a great Confucian scholar of his time, and his adherence to ethical principles and social norms was a model for everyone. Therefore, not wanting his daughter to be unhappy, and also not wanting to disrupt the traditional Confucian principle of not marrying scholars and merchants, he secretly arranged for his daughter to marry Yu Wantao."

The ink stain was filled with emotion:

"Master, we owe Fu Daru far too much."

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at the blank space:

“Leave blank, you just wanted to kill Yu Shuyan. She is Fu Daru’s granddaughter. If you kill her, you will be truly ungrateful.”

A flicker of hesitation crossed Liu Bai's eyes, but ultimately, his expression returned to its usual coldness.

"I would not hesitate to repay the kindness of Master Fu to the point of sacrificing my life. However, the master's meaning is all too clear: Yu Shuyan and her brother are unaware of Master Fu's true identity. If that is the case, I will not allow her to bring even the slightest danger to the many brothers behind us who bear the blood feud."

Finally, as if having made a decision, his voice became low and hoarse:

"At worst, I'll kill her and then take my life to be with her."

Mo Ran was so angry that her eyes rolled around, and she hurriedly looked at Gong Mo Jue:

"Master, look at the use of white space, why is it so rigid?"

Gong Mojue glanced deeply at the blank space, and finally sighed softly:

"Alright, let's talk about everything after Yu Shuyan gives me that big gift!"

After speaking, his voice deepened, and he looked directly at the blank space:

"However, leave it blank. Before that, no matter what happens, you must not act rashly. Understand?"

Liu Bai heard the determination in his voice, and his eyes trembled slightly. He said nothing, but turned and vanished in an instant.

Mo Ran pointed at his disappearing figure and said, feigning anger:

"Master, look at him, he has no manners at all!"

Gong Mojue glanced at him knowingly:

"Alright, there's no need for you to be here and distract him. You know I can't possibly hold any grudge against him."

Mo Ran noticed the pain in Gong Mojue's eyes and couldn't help but change the subject:

"My lord, if Yu Shuyan and her brother are truly loyal to you, why not accept them? After all, her medical skills might be effective against your poisons..."

He paused here, observing Gong Mojue's expression, and then stopped speaking.

After all, when he last raised this suggestion, Gong Mojue directly and decisively stopped him.

However, this time, seeing Gong Mojue's reaction, he was surprised but also excited.

Gong Mojue not only did not stop him, but a hint of emotion that he could not explain flashed in his lowered eyes.

That one emotion alone was enough; it showed that he was wavering.

Although Mo Ran didn't know why he suddenly changed his mind.

Could it be because Lady Yuan is Yu Shuyan?

His dark eyes brightened again:

I knew I was smart. Master treats Yu Shuyan differently; he's definitely taken a liking to her.

But Yu Shuyan has been married before, even though she's divorced. She's still been married. And it seems she has a child from a previous marriage...

"Stop!"

A cold voice interrupted Mo Ran's thoughts at just the right moment.

Coming to her senses, she met Gong Mojue's warning gaze.

Mo Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly changed the subject:

"Master, what do you think? Should we tell Yu Shuyan that the woman Gong Beige is hunting down, and ask her to remind Fu Daru to prepare in advance?"

Gong Mojue's eyes were fixed on Mo Ran, yet it seemed as if he were looking through him at someone else, as he murmured:

"Not urgent."

"Let's see what kind of gift she's going to give me!"

When Yu Shuyan was mentioned, Gong Mojue couldn't help but picture her charming yet dignified eyes once again.

Unconsciously, his hands clenched into fists on his legs, which were unable to support him and were constantly in pain.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Yanggang Village. I need to know the extent of Gong Beige's investigation as soon as possible."

Mo Ran felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and hurriedly agreed before running out.

The coldness in Gong Mojue's expression suddenly melted away after he left.

Instead, there is an indescribable sadness, mixed with a vague sense of regret and loss.

It added a touch of allure and vulnerability to his otherwise perfectly sculpted face, making one feel an irresistible pity for him.
