In order to survive, she forced herself to have a happy ending with the yandere villain.

Qiao Wanwan was satisfied with Xie Ze's agreement and said something.

"That's pretty much it."

She reached out and hugged the man's head, gently stroking his smooth, dark hair, comforting him as if soothing a child.

She felt like she had become very strange.

This doesn't look like an ambiguous relationship between lovers at all; it looks more like a mother and son.

Forehead…

But let's be honest.

This man is not only handsome, but his hair is also of excellent quality.

The hair she touched was as smooth as silk, making her extremely envious.

Hey!

God is so unfair...

...

While they were cuddling and being all lovey-dovey, Gu Chaomu packed all her belongings and prepared to leave the Xie residence.

Chunxia, ​​who had just gone to pick up her things, saw Gu Chaomu angrily about to leave, so she asked him a question.

"Hey, Young Master Gu, it's getting dark. Where are you packing your things and heading?"

"... "

When asked, Gu Chaomu's face turned ashen. He glared at Chunxia, ​​said nothing, and left.

"?"

The innocent Chunxia was also stunned, having no idea what had happened.

Isn't it a bit too early for Young Master Gu to leave?

The alliance leader hasn't arrived yet. Normally, shouldn't he wait for the alliance leader to arrive before trying to get some good things?

You're actually willing to leave now?

Chunxia shrugged, looking confused.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. I should hurry back to Miss's side and tell her the news while I'm at it."

...

The sky was dark and gloomy, and candlelight was lit in Xie Ze's study.

Xie Yi respectfully reported to Xie Ze, who was sitting at the desk.

"Young Master, after Young Master Gu left, he went to Yu Rong Inn. It seems that someone there was receiving him."

Xie Ze gently put down his pen, just as he had expected.

How could someone as proud as Gu Chaomu possibly stay at the Xie residence?

Xie Ze's lips curved into a smile, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

Gu Chaomu could have many women, including Zhou Xinyue on the street and Qin Qing, whom he had just met.

But Qiao Wanwan is different, because Xie Ze only has one Qiao Wanwan.

No one can take him away from him, not even Gu Chaomu, whom he once liked.

Xie Ze lowered his eyes slightly and continued to pick up the pen beside him and write on the white paper.

He casually said to Xie Yi:

"His matter is settled. You need to inquire outside to find out when Alliance Leader Qiao will arrive."

"Yes."

A faint glint appeared in Xie Ze's deep eyes.

With Wanwan around, his future will surely be bright.

...

"Zila Zila"

Many mollusks crawled inside the iron cage.

A bloodstained, sharp knife darts through a group of races.

It was smeared with a lot of greenish liquid.

The knife was slowly raised, gleaming with a poisonous bluish light.

A man in black stared at the sharp point and couldn't help but swallow hard.

I bow my head and respectfully report:

"Master, I've seen the young master frequently visiting the Xie residence recently. He seems to have no aftereffects and is very light and energetic."

The swords paused slightly, and the owner of the short sword twitched his brow, a delighted smile spreading across his face.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes, I have been keeping an eye on the young master these past two days. His complexion has visibly improved a lot. It seems like he has some kind of miraculous medicine on him."

"Oh, perfect, I can send you to investigate Ze'er's unusual behavior. Go now."

"Yes, sir."

The man in black disappeared into the pharmacy in a flash.

Xie Zhentian was left alone, quietly pondering.

If it were drug resistance in Ze'er's body, she wouldn't have been able to recover so quickly.

There must have been some external help that allowed his body to recover so quickly.

...

"Grumpy"

"drive!"

On the road in the suburbs, the coachman cracked his whip and spurred his horse toward Anqi City.

The bumpy road and the horses' exhaustion did not affect the people inside at all.

A figure dressed in dark green bamboo sat upright inside the carriage.

She was also holding a string of vermilion Buddhist prayer beads in her hand, which she kept twirling between her fingers.

"Master, we'll be at Anqicheng soon."

"Ah."

His phoenix eyes, tinged with a faint blue, were raised, staring ahead with a hint of resentful hatred. His thin lips parted slightly.

“An Lin, if your child were still alive, I would make sure he knows the despicable face of Xie Zhentian, the greatest villain. Even if I can't kill Xie Zhentian, I will make sure my child is forever away from that villain. If you were alive, you would surely want Mo Jiang to do the same, wouldn't you?”

The man sighed deeply, then slowly closed his eyes to rest.

Outside the city gate stood Yang Feng's steward, who had been sent to await the distinguished guest.

Upon seeing the carriage that arrived at noon, they immediately recognized it as a helper from the capital.

He then stepped forward and bowed respectfully from afar.

"See my lord!"

"Xu~"

The coachman quickly stopped the carriage, preventing the horse from crashing into it.

The butler quickly said:

"My lord, my general has been ordered to stay home and cannot come out, so he has instructed me to wait here and personally escort you over."

A middle-aged man's voice of refusal came from inside the carriage.

"I am just an ordinary doctor. I am not some kind of lord."

"Oh, our General Yang said that the distinguished guests from the capital are all our lords."

"... "

"Sir, please."

The butler's smiling face made Mo Jiang feel uncomfortable.

Just by looking at this sycophantic lackey, you can tell what kind of master he is.

But the thought that everyone was an enemy of the Xie family made him ignore the discomfort.

For him, the Avengers were a grand plan.

Having already arrived at the city gate of Anqi City, the middle-aged man, as slender as a bamboo, made no pretense and simply walked forward.

Behind him was a young man, Mo Jiang's apprentice and also a henchman of the Mo family.

Mo Jiang walked into the city, saying as he went:

"Let's talk on the way. What's the current situation of the Xie family?"

"Yes, my lord."

The butler, bowing low, followed beside him and began to speak indignantly:

"The Xie family started managing the affairs of Anqi City just a few days ago. And it seems that one of their stewards is handling everything. I haven't seen the city lord step in to resolve anything. Perhaps because the soldiers rammed the carriage of the Xie family's young master, the whole family has been abusing their power and breaking the rules of Anqi City. My master resisted, but they confined him to the house and threatened him, saying that if he didn't obey, they would kill him without mercy."

"Oh? Why did they suddenly take control of Anqi City's government? Do you know the reason?"

"this…"

The butler's eyes darted around, and he covered his mouth, whispering a false accusation:

"I have no idea about this. Perhaps they've started to dissatisfy the management above, which is why they've made a move."

"... "

Mo Jiang glanced at him but said nothing.

In his memory, Xie Zhentian was not someone who liked to get involved in court affairs.

His eyes were fixed on the production of poison, and he was unmoved even by the most beautiful women of the time, who were killed by him without a trace of remorse.

He's absolutely insane.

How could someone like that suddenly become curious about matters of the imperial court?

Mo Jiang walked down the street, looking at the peaceful everyday life around him, a smile on his face. He showed no signs of being oppressed or suffering.

He then raised his doubts:

"The Xie family is abusing their power so much, yet the people of Anqi City seem to be doing quite well. They don't seem to be suffering any oppression."

"This...this is merely an appearance. My lord, you should go to the Yang residence and see how our general is doing these days..."
