Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Cheng Yunmo knew the two maids meant well, but after studying it for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what the difference was.

Zhenying and her aunt carefully examined the little national teacher's clothes but found no trick to it.

Several people were gathered around the clothes when one of the maids suddenly remembered something.

Zhenying was stunned because the maid gestured to her, asking her to go out with her for a moment.

As lunchtime approached, Cheng Yunmo was about to lower her head to eat when she felt a chill on the back of her head. This chill gave her an inexplicable sense of unease, and she subconsciously turned her head away.

This scene seemed to come suddenly, and even those who attacked from behind did not expect this to happen.

Zhenying and her aunt, along with their maids, looked at Cheng Yunmo with shocked expressions.

Cheng Yunmo was stunned, looking at the masked man in black who was only kneeling on the ground and seemed to know him well.

"You all know him, right?"

Cheng Yunmo felt that Zhenying's gaze was somewhat unlike anything she had encountered before.

"master…"

Zhenying quickly knelt on the ground. She shouldn't have tested her master in this way, but she couldn't think of any other way.

The two maids seemed happier.

“Young Grand Preceptor, you don’t know, this garment does indeed have something special about it.”

When Zhenying saw the gazes directed at her, she quickly explained, "This garment is said to be able to prevent attacks. I heard that the imperial advisors of the past all wore clothes made of special materials. I only learned about this because of Lord Liu."

Lord Liu, someone I hadn't heard from in a long time, I never expected to hear from him at this moment.

Cheng Yunmo didn't hesitate, knowing how precious the robes of the young imperial advisor he was wearing were.

For some reason, the black-faced man kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head, his gaze subtly drifting outside, unnoticed by anyone.

Bang!

Something suddenly fell to the ground, startling everyone in the room.

While they were still hesitating, the man in black walked out.

Cheng Yunmo watched Zhenying leave, and then followed her out.

Then they saw a scene that shocked everyone present.

The puppet that was brought back was actually being pulled by many strings, and in the void that was being pulled by so many strings, there was nothing at all.

This seemingly harmless puppet suddenly came to life and began attacking the man in black.

Zhenying's expression became somewhat solemn.

"Master, stay away from this puppet."

"Okay," Cheng Yunmo replied, taking a few steps back.

"How could the highly skilled martial arts expert specially sent by the Empress Dowager be defeated by such a puppet?"

"When I heard that noise just now, the puppet should have fallen to the ground and wouldn't move anymore. But now it looks like it's not hurt at all."

The words spoken by the two maids also reached Cheng Yunmo's ears.

Cheng Yunmo looked at the puppet in disbelief. Suddenly, she felt a chill and saw that the puppet, which had a blank face, suddenly turned towards her. She didn't know how it did it, but a ball of flame rushed towards her.

Despite the seemingly ordinary flame, Cheng Yunmo sensed a fierce danger emanating from it.

The sound of extinguishing the flames came from a wisp of air that Cheng Yunmo subconsciously flicked out from his sleeve.

Cheng Yunmo felt that this was more like the birth date and time left by Mu Yun's woman, cut by a pair of scissors.

"Cheng Yunmo, where did you get such a beautiful dress?"

A very familiar voice came from the doorway.

When Cheng Yunmo saw Li Lai appear, he knew that he would have to face Li Lai sooner or later, ever since he learned Li Lai's identity.

Li Lai seemed to know something.

Cheng Yunmo couldn't describe the feeling in his heart at this moment; he only felt that the problem was very troublesome.

Li Lai found it somewhat amusing to see the tense expression on Cheng Yunmo's face, since in his view, someone like Cheng Yunmo had always been against him.

Cheng Yunmo was so nervous that he didn't notice that the situation around him was also changing.

By the time she realized the problem, it was too late.

Zhenying, Zhenying's aunt, and two maids all seemed like completely different people, with several unfamiliar spider webs appearing behind them.

Only the man in black, who had sensed something was wrong earlier, cautiously picked up his knife and began to swat away the spider silk that was about to grow out of his back.

It was at this moment that Cheng Yunmo noticed that the house, which originally looked normal, was now like a house shrouded in spider silk, which was beginning to grow little by little, and these spider silks seemed to be consciously attacking people from behind.

Cheng Yunmo saw that a dagger appeared in Zhenying's hand, and this dagger was delivered to her by the spider silk.

"careful!"

The man in black cleaved Zhenying's dagger in two with a single stroke. The dagger fell to the ground, and Cheng Yunmo couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. That knife was incredibly sharp!

When Li Lai saw this scene, he acted as if he hadn't seen anything at all, and seemed not to care about this person.

"Cheng Yunmo, I heard that you killed my woman, but I haven't even gone after you yet."

Cheng Yunmo, “…”

"Do you feel particularly safe now because you're surrounded by people who have been reborn?"

Cheng Yunmo didn't say anything, even though that's what he was thinking.

"Let me tell you, even if she is now the Empress Dowager, she must follow the established path, otherwise, she will only face death."

Wu Hua...

“Cheng Yunmo, you probably don’t know, but the Empress Dowager is a formidable figure. You lost to her, and the Xu Kingdom was even sealed away by her.”

Cheng Yunmo never expected to receive such news.

"Let's go, let's witness this scene together."

Cheng Yunmo saw that Li Lai was directly grasping the surrounding space-time, including the man in black.

The man in black had clearly seen it too. It was a scene unfolding beyond his comprehension.

Almost instinctively, he stood behind her.

Cheng Yunmo glanced to the side and, for some reason, sensed the fear in the man in black's heart.

The man in black had expected the young national advisor to say something cowardly, but to his surprise, he only saw a serious expression in her eyes.

In this short period of time, Cheng Yunmo saw a lot.

The final scene shows Li Lai killing himself, while Li Lai calmly watches her disheveled state from the side.

"Cheng Yunmo, I never expected you to beg for mercy before you die. I wish I could see this scene a little longer."

Cheng Yunmo remained silent, and this scene was also observed by the man in black.
