Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 14: We'll Meet Again
This inexplicable remark from the Taoist in green robe made everyone unhappy. It was one thing for the tiger to be in trouble, but the question was, who was the dog?
At this moment, everyone's face showed an unhappy look. If they hadn't wanted to keep a low profile and not cause trouble, someone would have taken action to teach this stinky Taoist a lesson long ago. Just look at the way Zeze and Gonglili gritted their teeth. However, the Taoist didn't seem to notice the unhappy looks of the crowd at all. His attention was now on the country bumpkin, as if he had discovered a rough jade. He looked him up and down, and couldn't help but marvel at him. The country bumpkin himself felt a little numb from the sight.
Only a fleeting flash of surprise flashed across Mo Yi's eyes. Could it be that this Taoist also discovered the secret buried in that country bumpkin?
No, it's impossible. This Taoist may have only seen some superficial things. He couldn't have seen the deepest secret hidden in Tubie. I only discovered it after Canglong reminded me.
However, it is not the right time yet. Revealing the secret now will only do harm to Tu Bie and no good. Everything has a gradual process, even if that guy is gifted, it is no exception.
So Mo Yi unexpectedly took action to stop the green-robed Taoist from talking nonsense. Of course, Mo Yi's action was so fast that almost no one had time to react. Gong Lili, who was standing beside Mo Yi, only felt a breeze blowing past her. When she looked at the green-robed Taoist again, her face had changed in shock and she was speechless.
With the mentality of "less trouble is worse than more", Gong Lili gently tugged at Mo Yi's sleeve, intending to leave as soon as possible. After all, their current situation was special and they could not reveal their identities at will.
But at this moment, a voice slowly entered Mo Yi's mind through his divine sense: "When did you Nayu people start to meddle in other people's affairs?"
Mo Yi glanced at the green-robed Taoist warily, and soon found his answer from his eyes. As expected, this person probably knew a lot of things. Although he didn't know why he could see through his identity at a glance, Mo Yi was not interested in beating around the bush with him. Mo Yi replied bluntly with his mind: "If you are doing this for his own good, you'd better shut up. If you are deliberately causing trouble..." Mo Yi did not finish the rest of the words. Since the other party was a smart person, he should understand the threat in his words.
Unexpectedly, the other party replied with divine thoughts and laughed heartily: "Young man, don't always think of yourself as an omnipotent guardian. Some things are destined by heaven and cannot be controlled by you. The fate of some people is also not something you can change on your own."
Before he finished speaking, the man disappeared, leaving everyone dumbfounded. Only Mo Yi's brows furrowed even deeper. He didn't know if this Taoist really had the ability to predict the future, or if he had ulterior motives...
However, Mo Yi still didn't take his words to heart at this time. The young man of the Mo family has always been a man who can deal with any challenge head-on. There is no need to worry about some uncertain things!
Yan Zheng showed a slight worry on his face at this moment. After all, this was the territory of the Shamo clan. If he was too conspicuous, it would not be a good thing. However, if he dragged such a large group of people around in this city, he would still be spotted by some strange people. After all, these people were all weirdos who did not like to play by the rules.
Yet, the person they were looking for seemed to frequent those busy areas, favorite haunts of strange people. They had just taken everyone to several of his frequented spots: Donghuamen Caishikou, Xijingmen Panlou Street, and Nanquemen Wenshufang, but had found nothing. Could it be that his preferences had changed again? Didn't he usually frequent these areas?
Yan Zheng suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. It seemed that in the past, it was that girl who was chasing him and he had no time to hide. But now, the situation is reversed. When he was not looking for her, she was always hanging around in front of him, making a mess of things. When he really wanted to look for her, he couldn't find her no matter what. It seems that there really is such a thing as karma.
Yan Zheng was thinking in his mind, why not find an inn first to house this large group of people, and then go out alone to look for it. Otherwise, it would be too ostentatious to bring the whole family along, and it would be easy to get into trouble and attract attention. What's more, there are really few easy-going people in this group, and they are all troublemakers.
Thinking of this, they took action immediately and found a relatively remote place called Yuelai Inn near Nanque Gate, intending to settle everyone down first. Ping Lili and others had no objection to Yan Zheng's arrangements. After all, Yan Zheng was most familiar with this place, and Yan Zheng always did things properly, so it would be right to listen to him.
But as soon as they entered the inn, they immediately sensed something was amiss. Perhaps because the inn was located in a remote area and looked quite inconspicuous, there weren't many guests there at the moment. Only a young woman in red and two men in black had entered before them.
The two men in black went upstairs first. The girl in red was about to follow the waiter upstairs when they entered. But as soon as Mo Yifang stepped into the inn, the girl in red turned around as if by telepathy, and her sharp eyes fell directly on Mo Yifang. Although Mo Yifang had already disguised himself and his appearance had changed significantly, for some reason, she recognized him at a glance.
A flash of ecstasy flashed across her eyes for a moment, and the next moment, she had already floated over, spun around and landed in front of Mo Yi, calling out happily: "Brother Yi! It's you?!"
When people are unlucky, they can even choke on water. Mo Yi never thought that in a place like this, on the territory of the Shamo people, he would actually run into an acquaintance! And it was an acquaintance he hadn't seen in five hundred years. Most importantly, it was someone he really didn't want to see!
The call of "Brother Yi" shocked everyone in the group. No one seemed to have expected someone to recognize Mo Yi. Subconsciously, everyone immediately went on alert, as if ready to kill the woman in red at any moment. After all, if Mo Yi's identity was exposed here, it would not be a fun thing.
Especially Ying Lili, who had been standing next to Mo Yi, was unhappy at the moment. Seeing the woman in red calling Mo Yi in such a familiar tone and so intimately, and almost sticking to Mo Yi, she felt like a bottle of vinegar was overturned in her heart, and was extremely unhappy.
Mo Yi himself was extremely calm at this moment. He glanced at the woman in red lightly, and then replied lightly: "Miss, I'm afraid you have recognized the wrong person." Relying on the fact that he had changed his appearance and disguise, Mo Yi lied without blushing or beating his heart, and was extremely calm. The most important thing was that he didn't want to have anything to do with the person in front of him anymore. After all, less trouble is worse than more.
However, the woman in red seemed to have identified him. She looked at Mo Yi carefully again and said with great certainty, "I am not mistaken. Even if you have changed your appearance, I can still recognize you. You are Brother Yi! Brother Yi, don't you remember me?"
The woman in red was originally a beauty, with skin as white as snow, bright eyes and white teeth. She looked even more charming and attractive in the bright red dress. When she said this, her eyes moved and she bit her red lips slightly, looking pretty and lovely, which everyone loved.
Unfortunately, Mo Yi didn't seem to be born to be a man who sympathized with women. He frowned impatiently and said, "Miss, I've already told you that you've got the wrong person. I'm not the Brother Yi you're talking about. Please respect yourself and don't embarrass me with nonsense."
These words were already extremely harsh. If it were an ordinary woman, she would have been unable to bear such sarcasm and would have moved away to cool off. However, the woman in red was unyielding. She neither responded nor showed any intention of moving away. She just stared at Mo Yi with her eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts.
The people around were all very kindhearted. When they heard Mo Yi say this, they naturally understood a little, but continued to pretend to be ignorant. Meanwhile, Zeze, standing nearby, was even more cunning. He noticed that the atmosphere between the woman in red and Mo Yi seemed a little off. With a flicker of his eyes, he took a few steps forward, hugged Mo Yi's arm, and looked up at him with curiosity. In a clear, childish voice, he blurted out, "Daddy, what's wrong with this aunt? Did she mistake you for someone else?"
Zeze knew that girls cared about age, so he deliberately called the woman in red "Auntie", with some malicious intention to irritate her. As for calling Mo Yi "Dad", it was even more sinister. After all, in Zeze's heart, Brother Yi belonged to Sister Lili. This woman in red who came out of nowhere and tried to get close to Brother Yi must have bad intentions. Therefore, the little guy was just standing up for his Sister Lili.
However, he forgot that his sister Lili was not an easy person to deal with.
Hearing Zeze's words, Qinglili's heart moved. She also pretended to be surprised, stepped forward and calmly took Mo Yi's other arm, looking at Mo Yi in surprise: "Husband, do you really not know this girl?" Knowing that Mo Yi was lying, he still asked this question. The intention was naturally obvious, which was to let the girl give up and not make herself embarrassed.
Mo Yi's heart was slightly moved by the sudden call of "husband" by Gong Lili. Naturally, he understood what tricks the big and small were playing. He felt a little funny, but he also knew that the woman in front of him might not be so easy to get rid of. Moreover, she had completely determined that she was Mo Yi at this time, so he had no choice but to accompany Gong Lili and the others in the play to the end.
"It's okay. This girl has mistaken me for someone else. Maybe I look a bit like the person she knows."
He pulled Gong Lili into his arms with his right hand, and with a slight push of his left hand, he lifted Ze Ze up with one arm, looking like a perfect family with a loving wife and son by their side. Because of their disguises, Mo Yi and Gong Lili were indeed slightly older now, and Ze Ze looked no more than ten years older. If they could be called a family, it was not a stretch.
No matter how sure the woman in red was that the man in front of her was Mo Yi, she couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief when she saw this scene. It seemed that she couldn't believe how her brother Yi could suddenly become someone else's husband and father!
A hint of an ambiguous light flashed across her eyes. At that moment, the two men in black who had gone upstairs with the waiter also came down. Seeing the group of people in a stalemate, they immediately leaped over and landed on either side of the woman in red. One of the men, his eyebrows raised and his eyes bright, spoke first: "Jiang Wu, what's going on?"
After hearing these words, Ying Lili felt as if her heart was overturned with all kinds of emotions, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable. It turned out that she was Jiang Wu!
Mo Yi's fiancée back then! The woman that Mo Wutian had mentioned wanting Mo Yi to marry!
Well, you're here! You're here at the right time!
Because of some messy things before, Ying Lili had originally forgotten about this matter. Unexpectedly, she would meet this person who had always been bothering her at this time and place. It is true that enemies often meet in narrow roads.
