“Yun Tianmo, what exactly is going on with my daughter…”
After entering the study with Ouyang Hao, Yun Tianmo was immediately grabbed by the collar. This action annoyed Yun Tianmo, but he held back his anger for the moment and merely stared coldly at Ouyang Hao.
Faced with Yun Tianmo's indifferent gaze, Ouyang Hao sneered and said, “Do you dare to claim that Xin'er’s injury has nothing to do with you?”
In the study, at least two waves of Mysterious Energy erupted, and the sound of pages flipping filled the air…
Earlier, he had compromised only because he was worried about his wife. Now that they were in the study, Ouyang Hao had no reservations left. His aura surged as he feared that his daughter might suffer some loss at the hands of the Cloud Kingdom Ink King.
Yun Tianmo, being held by the collar, was not one to easily yield. Although it seemed like Ouyang Hao had him in his grasp, they were actually facing each other as equals.
The two remained in a stalemate, neither making the first move. The noise from the doors and windows made Yun Tianmo frown. Finally losing patience, he raised his hand and brushed aside Ouyang Hao's grip on his collar.
Ouyang Hao realized he had acted impulsively and loosened his hold. However, he still refused to soften his tone, saying, “You better clarify things; otherwise…”
“Otherwise what?” Dusting off imaginary dust from his clothes, Yun Tianmo smirked mockingly.
Although this was the imperial capital of Exiled Nation and he was within the National Protector's Mystic Master Manor, he did not believe that a mere Ouyang Hao could do anything to him.
Seeing Ouyang Hao's anger rise again, Yun Tianmo decided not to waste any more time. He walked straight to a chair and sat down, dipping his fingers into the tea cup to write a few characters on the table.
When he looked up at Ouyang Hao again, he found him frozen in place.
Yun Tianmo casually brushed away the characters he had written. He then stood up to leave.
Some things only needed a reminder; saying too much was pointless. Now that Ouyang Zixin had indeed been harmed by someone from Bai Clan, it didn’t matter whether that person had already betrayed Bai Clan or not.
As long as a seed was planted in Ouyang Hao's mind and he was left to uncover the truth himself, future events would naturally unfold according to his plans.
Indeed, this time Ouyang Hao did not stop Yun Tianmo. Even after Yun Tianmo exited Xuan Shi Mansion, Ouyang Hao remained alone in the study for a long time, lost in thought.
“Zi Yi.”
Hearing his name called, Zi Yi walked in from outside the door, bowed respectfully, and said, “What orders do you have, my lord?”
Should we investigate?
Ouyang Hao was feeling somewhat shaken. Yun Tianmo's actions were undoubtedly meant to make him doubt, and after doubting, he would go investigate. But what would happen if he found something? The Bai Clan had already gone into seclusion. And his wife...
After a while without hearing Ouyang Hao's voice, Zi Yi finally looked up and saw Ouyang Hao with a furrowed brow, clearly hesitant. He spoke softly, "My lord..."
"Oh, Zi Yi, please check if there is someone named Bai Jin in the Bai Clan." Ouyang Hao came back to his senses. He instructed Zi Yi and after a moment of contemplation added, "Find out who he has enmity with."
Ouyang Hao did not doubt that there were people in the Bai Clan who hated him and Bai Su. Since those people could harbor hatred towards him and Bai Su, it was only natural for them to want to harm Ouyang Zixin.
But why was it so coincidental that it was Ouyang Zixin who happened to sneak out?
Did the other party know her identity or not?
Thinking of the Bai Clan made Ouyang Hao's head throb. Instead of immediately going to the backyard to find Bai Su, he sat alone in the study. At this time, it was better not to face Bai Su.
Yuexin Pavilion was being watched over by Liu Ying and Liu Lu, so there shouldn't be any major issues.
He hoped his daughter wouldn't blame him for being heartless for not even taking a glance at her. Ouyang Hao sighed internally; if he went to see her now, he wasn't sure if he could control his temper and not immediately take people to raid the Bai Clan's hideout.
So many years had passed; if it weren't for his wife, Ouyang Hao would never have allowed the Bai Clan to go into seclusion. After all, what they had done to him in the past...
————————————
"What happened to the young lady..."
Liu Ying and Liu Lu were brought back and upon entering the room, they found Ouyang Zixin lying alone on the bed, covered by a thin layer of Mysterious Energy. Even so, they immediately noticed the wounds on her body.
Liu Ying gasped in shock and quickly turned to close the door, while Liu Lvy hurried forward, reaching out to probe the Mysterious Energy.
"Wait!" Liu Ying turned around just in time to see Liu Lvy attempting to touch the Mysterious Energy and quickly stopped her. "Do you even know whose Mysterious Energy that is?"
Liu Ying felt somewhat reproachful; Liu Lvy wasn't usually this reckless. They had just been punished by their mistress earlier, and now their master had sent them back to take care of Ouyang Zixin, which showed how serious the situation was.
They recognized that Mysterious Energy; if it could train alongside Yun Tianmo's shadow guards in the same training camp, then if they couldn't even sense his Mysterious Energy, it would be like hitting their heads against a wall.
"That's why I wanted to try." Liu Lvy felt a bit wronged; the young lady's injuries were so severe that if they didn't handle them quickly...
Liu Ying also realized that her tone was a bit harsh. She sighed lightly and comforted, "We don't know why that Mysterious Energy appeared on the young lady; it seems we are just here to take care of her."
How could such serious injuries be left to two maids to handle?
"Why aren't the madam and the master here?" Liu Lvy finally reacted and pulled Liu Ying, saying, "Look at the young lady..."
As she spoke, she began to sob, causing Liu Ying's eyes to redden as well. She gently patted her hand, "This matter is probably something that person kept hidden. Think about it; has he ever explained anything when he does things?"
So, the two of them stopped guessing and quietly stood by the bed, one at each end. Their task was simple: just don't let the Mysterious Energy run rampant.
"Hey, did you notice?" Liu Lvy had been watching all night, and just as dawn was approaching, she suddenly blinked and looked at Liu Ying, pointing out, "Isn't the Mysterious Energy getting less and less?"
Yuexin Pavilion was brightly lit throughout the night. Liu Ying hadn't paid attention to the amount of Mysterious Energy until Liu Lvy mentioned it. She slightly leaned down to take a look and said, "It seems... it seems thinner than before."
However, after guarding all night, they hadn't noticed any signs of the Mysterious Energy dissipating. What was going on?
"Do you remember when the young lady used A San Gongzi's and the Ink King's Mysterious Energy?" Liu Ying looked at Liu Lvy with a hint of joy on her face, no longer appearing worried.
Seeing that Liu Lvy still hadn't figured out what she wanted to say, Liu Ying reached out and tapped her forehead lightly, saying, "Just focus on refining your body; don't forget to use your brain!" (To be continued.)
