Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Yunzi Ren watched helplessly as a mass of black energy controlling him rushed towards his heart, but he was powerless to do anything about it and could only watch as it all unfolded.

Granny Qing and Ning exchanged a glance, slightly puzzled, but said nothing.

Cheng Yunmo looked at the person lying on the ground. When the other people who had come to the city saw this scene, they didn't know what to say.

Everyone looked at Cheng Yunmo with a sense of fear in their eyes.

Only Lord Liu, upon witnessing this scene, did not feel angry; instead, a smile appeared on his lips.

Very good, Cheng Yunmo did a good job.

Granny Qing gestured to Ning to have someone drag the body away. Ning understood and called over a servant from the outer courtyard who was rarely used.

"Be careful, and take the Emperor's men away."

Many people witnessed that the person the Emperor sent was indeed killed by Cheng Yunmo.

"Alright, nothing else, everyone can go home now."

The servant behind Lord Liu spoke to the onlookers.

After everyone had left, Lord Liu followed Cheng Yunmo, not saying a word, but with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Cheng Yunmo was still a little unaccustomed to Lord Liu's behavior. After a moment of stunned silence, he couldn't help but smile helplessly and say, "You used to always laugh at me for not being able to do anything right."

The wind was blowing gently, everything was a light breeze, and it looked like a peaceful and quiet day.

The smile in Lord Liu's eyes deepened. "You're getting on in years, why are you still like this, always bringing up old grievances?"

Cheng Yunmo looked at Master Liu, who seemed like a mentor, with some dissatisfaction. "Hmph, Master Liu, don't think I didn't notice. From the moment you saw that person with the character 'Yun,' you already had a plan in mind. You were just too anxious to tell me directly."

Granny Qing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but secretly smile when she heard her mistress say those words about Lord Liu.

Indeed, although she hadn't spent much time with Lord Liu, she knew that Lord Liu was a very approachable person in front of his master, Cheng Yunmo. She also knew that if she kept everything buried deep inside, her mind would be completely obscured, so it was better to be more outspoken.

So, she figured it out too.

Oh, you noticed that?

No wonder Lord Liu blushed a little.

There was no other way; the people who came to their city were all ordinary citizens, but these ordinary citizens were an extremely intelligent group.

They didn't care how much benefit those cultivators and scholars left them; they just wanted to live with Cheng Yunmo, the former national advisor. They knew very well that if Cheng Yunmo died, the Xu Kingdom would be finished.

Ordinary people wouldn't laugh at Cheng Yunmo; staying by her side was also a way to control her.

Of course, if she has the ability to control them, they will accept it, as long as Xu Guo is still around.

Cultivators and scholars will eventually leave, but Cheng Yunmo is the one who will ultimately share life and death with them.

Cheng Yunmo had no choice, nor did he want those around him to become prisoners of others.

When Ning returned to the mansion, she had already secretly sent someone to bring Yun Ziren back.

Everyone else thought the person with the character "Yun" was dead, but now the person with the character "Yun" is slowly waking up, clearly unaware of what has happened.
