Ling Siwen seemed to have no doubts about Ling Mo Xie, only sighing as he said, "When Little Third went out, he ended up dead out there. Your uncle has been saying it was you, and many unfavorable rumors about you have spread within the family."
Ling Mo Xie did not express any opinion but quietly watched Ling Siwen, listening to what he said, his expression clearly asking Ling Siwen for his thoughts.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's expression, Ling Siwen shook his head and forced a smile as he said, "You really never seem to be in a hurry! Your uncle has just sewn up the pain of losing his son, so I can't blame him too harshly. Just bear with those rumors a bit!"
"Well, of course!" Ling Mo Xie fixed a steady gaze on Ling Siwen. Did he really not doubt himself? Then he smiled brightly and nodded.
He truly wondered how the family head had managed all these years; he was indeed quite suspicious yet believed in him unconditionally.
"Alright! Let's go inside! You should quickly get to alchemy and focus on dealing with Ning Qi! The family matters, Grandfather is not old yet!" Ling Siwen did not say much more, patting Ling Mo Xie on the shoulder as he spoke.
Ling Mo Xie pouted, shrugged his shoulders, and walked toward his tent in the Ling Family camp.
Ling Siwen stood in place, watching Ling Mo Xie's distant figure with deep eyes but only shook his head; this was something owed to you!
Now that you have these abilities, I am no longer afraid of those restless people in the family pulling any tricks.
"Sigh!" With a long sigh, Ling Siwen also headed toward his tent. The competition between Ling Mo Xie and Ning Qi, the only help he could provide was to find some Spiritual Medicine for Ling Mo Xie.
"Boss! You finally came back!" As soon as Ling Mo Xie arrived at the tent, he saw Bai Yunfei lift the curtain and come out. It was clear that Sun Xiaoxiao had come first to inform them of his return.
Ling Mo Xie nodded at Bai Yunfei, then reached out and pinched the ear of Hong Chi, who was standing beside him: "What did I tell you? Didn't I ask you to protect Sun Xiaoxiao! Why did she run off to Skywind City alone? Is this how you protect her?"
Hong Chi quickly grabbed onto Ling Mo Xie's arm and said, "Boss, boss! Listen to me, this really isn't my fault; I..."
"Oh? Not your fault? Then it's my fault? I shouldn't have asked you to protect her, right?" Ling Mo Xie narrowed his eyes, a smile on his face but his tone filled with threat.
Hong Chi shrank his neck and repeatedly said, "It's my fault, isn't it enough to say it's my fault? Let me go!"
"Listening to you, it sounds like I'm forcing you to admit your mistake."
Ling Mo Xie still smiled, just applying a bit more pressure with his fingers. Hong Chi made an exaggerated grimace and quickly said, "How could that be? I truly realize my mistake. Boss, please don't be so relentless!"
"Haha!" Bai Yunfei watched Hong Chi with glee, a bright smile on his face.
Ling Mo Xie wasn't planning to blame Hong Chi too much anyway; after all, no matter how Not Bad, he was just a kid. Hearing Bai Yunfei's laughter, he turned his head.
"I heard there are some rumors circulating in the Ling Family recently?"
"Ah haha... uh, I still have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave!" Bai Yunfei's laughter abruptly stopped as he spoke to Ling Mo Xie, not waiting for a response before turning into a gust of wind and rushing away.
Ling Mo Xie merely smiled, tugging at Hong Chi's collar as he walked toward the tent without looking back, casually saying, "Bai Yunfei, come back!"
Inside Ling Mo Xie's tent, he sat with his legs crossed on a chair while Bai Yunfei stood with his head down in front of Ling Mo Xie. Hong Chi sat beside Ling Mo Xie, focused on licking the Candied Hawthorn in his hand, his ears perked up and eyes darting around.
Chen Yan casually wandered around Ling Mo Xie's tent before finding a spot to sit down like a statue, completely still.
Though Chen Yan had a calm demeanor, he had a low presence; without causing any commotion, it was easy for people to forget he was there. However, when he did make noise, it left a strong impression.
"Boss, that rumor really has nothing to do with me!" Bai Yunfei waved his hands at Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie simply glanced at him with a serious expression, making Bai Yunfei's heart tighten. But soon after, he saw a triumphant smile appear on Ling Mo Xie's face as he innocently said, "I never said it had anything to do with you! It was originally my idea for you to do it!"
Bai Yunfei was taken aback, then his face showed an expression of anger as he said to Ling Mo Xie, "Alright! How dare you..." As he spoke, he made a move to slap Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie grabbed Bai Yunfei's wrist, "Enough, this is not the time for games. That guy Ning Qi actually managed to develop the Elixir of Grievance Removal. It seems it will start being distributed from this afternoon."
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Bai Yunfei retracted his arm and sat down on another chair, leaning back against the chair's backrest, resting his arms behind his head, and half-closing his eyes nonchalantly said, "That's your problem. Besides, I can't wait for you to lose! Who knows, maybe Hong Chi and I can regain our freedom! Right, Hong Chi?"
He turned to ask Hong Chi, who was focused on eating the Candied Hawthorn in his hand.
Hong Chi looked up in confusion at Bai Yunfei's question, "Huh? What? Freedom? I've always been free!"
Bai Yunfei's expression froze for a moment before he turned away in frustration and said, "Anyway, things probably won't go as I expect. You won't lose that easily, right?"
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback for a moment before he smiled wryly and said, "You really have too much confidence in me, don't you? But this afternoon, let's go watch that little clown Ning Qi and see what kind of grand show he puts on for us!"
Bai Yunfei showed an expression of 'as expected' and nodded.
At that moment, Zeng Zhou, who had been quietly standing aside, hesitated as he looked at Ling Mo Xie. In the end, he decided to turn and walk toward his room.
"Zeng Zhou! If there's something on your mind, just say it!" Ling Mo Xie quickly called out to Zeng Zhou. He still had a task to do regarding helping others, but now Ling Mo Xie realized that doing good deeds wasn't as easy as it seemed. While saving people could be considered a good deed, one couldn't save just anyone; besides, there weren't that many people in need of rescue.
Zeng Zhou was also a pitiful person; his wife had been captured by the Eastern City Association. His hesitation likely meant he wanted to discuss this matter. Ling Mo Xie could take the opportunity to agree to help him and bring up dealing with the Eastern City Association.
