In this battle, the "Righteous Souls" lost more than ten skilled fighters, but the Azure Dragon Gang suffered even greater losses. Not only did they lose the fierce general Shan Meng, but over a hundred others also perished. Even their capable subordinate, Cyan Wolf, fell into Mo Ming's hands. If Luo Long were to learn of this news, his expression would surely be quite something!
"Brothers who have fallen, let's find a good place to bury them!"
Mo Ming instructed his men, saying, "These bastards, burn them all. We can't let them pollute the land even in death!"
"Boss, is everything settled?"
He Yunsong opened the door and stepped out, looking at the corpses scattered across the yard, and asked.
"Settled!"
Mo Ming nodded with a smile and pointed at the unconscious Cyan Wolf on the ground. "Yun Song, this bastard is yours to deal with!"
"Cyan Wolf!"
He Yunsong's face filled with anger upon seeing Cyan Wolf. If it weren't for falling victim to Sleeve Blade's trickery, he was confident he could have taken down Cyan Wolf himself. Now seeing Cyan Wolf in such a pitiful state made him feel a surge of anger. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Boss, you should handle this bastard. I know you have a good way to deal with him!"
Recalling Sito Hai's tragic condition made He Yunsong choose to let Mo Ming deal with Cyan Wolf. Torturing someone wasn't his strong suit, but his hatred for Cyan Wolf couldn't be resolved with just death. If he didn't properly torment him first, He Yunsong wouldn't be able to swallow that anger!
"Alright, Yun Song, don't worry. I'll give you a satisfactory explanation!" Mo Ming patted He Yunsong on the shoulder and promised.
"We killed so many people from the Azure Dragon Gang; Luo Long will definitely be furious when he finds out. I think it's best to be cautious."
Wu Yong frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Mo Ming, I believe that if Luo Long can't find you, he will definitely target the people around you. You should prepare for defense to avoid harm coming to your loved ones!"
"Luo Long is a strange person with ruthless methods; he might indeed do that."
Mo Ming was somewhat worried about the safety of Lin Yuan'er and Murong Lian. After thinking for a while, he said, "Yong Ge, wait a moment. You take Yun Song to the basement with Nü. I have something to take care of. Once I'm done, I'll come find you to discuss our next steps."
"Okay, be careful. You are our backbone; without you, we would lose!" Wu Yong nodded.
...
After Nü and the others buried their brothers and set a large fire to burn the bodies of the Azure Dragon Gang members, they headed to the training basement with Wu Yong and He Yunsong, while Mo Ming drove to find Lin Yuan'er and Murong Lian.
Mo Ming made a call from a phone booth to Murong Lian, asking where she was. Murong Lian's tone was quite melancholic as she said that she and Lin Yuan'er were at Lord Qian's house accompanying Jun Qianqian. From her tone, Mo Ming knew they were already aware of his return and even that Jun Qianqian had told them about their situation.
Thinking of this, Mo Ming couldn't help but feel a headache. Sometimes having too many women can be a burden; when they are not throwing tantrums, it's fine, but when they all do at once, it can be impossible to appease them.
However, some things must be faced sooner or later. Mo Ming was not a coward who would avoid emotions. Even though he didn't know how to deal with three women, he could only brace himself and confront it. After all, Mo Ming knew he had to play the role of a good son and appease Lin Yuan'er and Murong Lian when they threw tantrums. As for Jun Qianqian, she understood her own situation and naturally wouldn't throw a fit.
Upon arriving at Lord Qian's house, he saw white banners hanging everywhere. It was said that Huang Siye intended to keep memorializing Lord Qian indefinitely and had no plans to take them down. This showed how much Huang Siye cherished Seventh Master. However, death is irreversible; Huang Siye wouldn't be overly sad but would occasionally think of Seventh Master and his eyes would become misty.
Mo Ming parked the car and strode into the hall. On the wall directly opposite the entrance hung a gray photo of Lord Qian. In the picture, Seventh Master wore a smile, looking amiable, which made Mo Ming feel a twinge of sadness in his heart.
"Seventh Master, may you rest in peace. The Azure Dragon Gang won't last much longer!"
At that moment, Huang Siye stepped out, glanced at Mo Ming, and then followed his gaze to the photo of Seventh Master. A bitter smile crept onto his face as he said, "Mo Ming, you brat, you're back. That's good to hear. I got word that someone visited the headquarters of the Little Green Society. I suppose that person was you?"
"Yes, it was me. Otherwise, how would I know the true culprit behind Seventh Master's murder?" Mo Ming withdrew his gaze and looked at Huang Siye.
A glint of killing intent flashed in Huang Siye's eyes as he asked in a deep voice, "Who!?"
"That bastard Yang Fan colluded with the Azure Dragon Gang to kill Seventh Master!" Mo Ming spoke with some anger. If it weren't for Yang Fan's treachery and collusion with outsiders, even if the Azure Dragon Gang wanted to kill Seventh Master, it wouldn't have been so easy.
"So it was Yang Fan, that traitor. Now I understand; Zhuge Sheng has become his scapegoat!"
Huang Siye sighed and said with a bitter smile, "It was Yang Fan who called to invite Seventh Master out to discuss matters that day. I never expected that Yang Fan would use Zhuge Sheng's name to deceive us!"
"Fourth Master, don't be too angry. The world is like this now; it's already beyond saving. You need to take care of yourself. Qianqian can't afford to lose you as a relative," Mo Ming immediately advised.
"I know, sigh... I'm getting old and have fallen for the tricks of the younger generation."
Huang Siye took a deep breath and said with self-reproach, "If I had been more cautious, perhaps Seventh Master wouldn't have met with such an unfortunate fate..."
"It's hard to predict everything; there's nothing we can do about it. Fourth Master, you don't need to blame yourself."
Mo Ming said to Huang Siye, "Leave these matters of killing to me. I will avenge Seventh Master. Fourth Master, you don't need to worry too much; just take care of your health."
"Alright, alright. With your concern, I won't die so easily."
Huang Siye sensed Mo Ming's concern and felt a sense of comfort. He said, "Seventh Master did not misjudge you. I believe Qianqian will be happy with your protection for her whole life. If Seventh Master knows, he will surely rest in peace."
"Fourth Master, where is Qianqian?" Mo Ming asked with a bitter smile.
"She's in the back garden. You, kid, have gotten yourself into a love mess; handle it well!"
Huang Siye gave Mo Ming a strange look, waved his hand, and said, "Hurry and find Qianqian. Right now, she needs you the most. Go on; I'll just stay here quietly for a while..."
After bidding farewell to Fourth Master, Mo Ming walked toward the back garden with a bitter smile.
Jun Qianqian, Lin Yuan'er, and Murong Lian were sitting on the tiles by the pond, chatting and laughing. As soon as Mo Ming's figure appeared in the garden, Murong Lian immediately noticed him and informed the other two women. Soon after, they felt three intense gazes directed at him.
"Three beautiful ladies, what are you talking about?" Mo Ming approached with a cheerful smile.
The three women remained silent, their eyes still fixed on Mo Ming.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you speaking?"
Mo Ming smiled awkwardly and said, "Is there something on my face, or am I just too handsome that you can't bear to look away…"
"Go die!" the three women replied in unison.
Murong Lian stood up, reached out and twisted Mo Ming's ear, pulling him into the middle of the three. "You idiot, why didn't you tell us you were coming back? You didn't even give us a heads-up. Do you want to become a eunuch?"
"President Mu, beautiful lady, spare me! I was just afraid the enemies would find out I was back..." Mo Ming didn't dare to resist, allowing Murong Lian to twist his ear. He wasn't foolish; if he fought back, the consequences would be much worse.
Murong Lian insisted, increasing her grip. "Say you were wrong!"
"I was wrong..." Mo Ming said with a bitter smile.
"Be serious!"
Mo Ming tried to make himself serious. "I really know I was wrong. I won't dare next time."
Lin Yuan'er, feeling soft-hearted, immediately pleaded for Mo Ming. "Alright, Sister Lian, Brother Mo has admitted his mistake. Please let him off this time."
"Hmph, with Yuan'er helping you plead, I'll let you go this time."
Murong Lian finally released her grip and said, "However, I think you should tell me about your situation with Qianqian."
"Qianqian? You can't be serious; did you really tell them?"
Mo Ming glanced innocently at Jun Qianqian, who revealed a shy smile and nodded slightly.
"Fine... well, here's how it happened..."
Mo Ming had no choice but to honestly explain what had happened between him and Jun Qianqian in Y Country.
"Well, is it over?" Murong Lian asked with a frown.
Mo Ming nodded like a chick pecking at rice and said, "Of course it's over, that's how it is!"
"Hmph, who cares about your nonsense, Mo Ming? I want you to answer me honestly about one thing. If you dare to tell even half a lie, we will definitely make you a eunuch!" Murong Lian huffed a few times and made a scissor gesture, vividly illustrating the consequences of lying.
"Alright, ask away. I won't lie to you," Mo Ming replied helplessly.
Murong Lian fixed her gaze on Mo Ming's eyes and remained silent, staring for a long time.
"Murong Lian, why are you just staring at me? What’s going on..." Mo Ming chuckled awkwardly.
"Okay, I'm starting to ask now."
Murong Lian glanced at Jun Qianqian and then looked back at Mo Ming. "Do you really love Qianqian?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming looked at Jun Qianqian, whose face had turned red, then at Murong Lian and Lin Yuan'er, who were both staring intently at him. He forced a smile and nodded in acknowledgment. "I love..."
After a pause, Mo Ming emphasized his words: "I love Qianqian, and I love all of you. You three are my loves for this life."
"Hmph, who asked you that?!"
Murong Lian playfully pinched Mo Ming.
"I... I was speaking from the heart, Murong Lian. Why are you pinching me?" Mo Ming said with a frustrated smile.
"I can twist it if I want, can't I?"
Murong Lian shot Mo Ming a glare and said, "Mo Ming, you really are quite the flirt. In the blink of an eye, you've charmed Qianqian again. You really have a talent for this. Are you planning to bring back a new girl every time you go out?"
"No, definitely not! I promise, with the three of you in my life, I'm satisfied. Really, I swear, if I ever look for another woman, let lightning strike me down!" Mo Ming raised four fingers and solemnly swore.
Murong Lian quickly interrupted Mo Ming, saying, "Alright, no need to swear. I believe you."
"You guys... aren't mad at me anymore?" Mo Ming was taken aback and then asked joyfully.
Lin Yuan'er chuckled and said, "We weren't really angry to begin with. We were just worried that you agreed to take care of Qianqian out of a sense of responsibility. Hehe... Brother Mo, the way you looked just now was really funny!"
