Farm Girl's Manor

She was not saintly enough to care about the life and death of a bunch of bandits; the mere thought of blood on her hands always made her uneasy. Now that she knew those men wouldn’t die, the discomfort in her heart disappeared.

Seeing that it was getting late and guessing that Xiao Ruiyuan and his company had already arrived at Jingshan Villa, Mo Yan left Little Flower and Mao Tuan at home to guard the house and took the other three beasts to the courtyard. She then called out the two Hidden Guards lurking in the shadows.

Not wanting them to follow, Mo Yan briefly explained the reason for the midnight trip into the mountains and asked them to watch over the house for the time being to prevent any villains from targeting her family for harm.

It wasn’t that she was over-worrying. Although her relationship with Xiao Ruiyuan had not been fully revealed, anyone observing today’s events could guess there was more than meets the eye between them. Since someone was hostile towards Xiao Ruiyuan, it was possible that they would use her or her family to strike at him, and she had to be cautious.

The two Hidden Guards were also worried about Mo Yan venturing into the mountains alone and insisted on accompanying her no matter what.

Mo Yan didn’t have time to explain further. Seizing the moment when they least expected it, she leapt onto the back of the Golden Beast and vaulted over the high courtyard wall, with Dabai and the Red Python following suit, jumping over the wall under the astonished gaze of the two guards.

When the guards snapped back to reality and set out in pursuit with two other guards that Mo Yan had not noticed, all they saw were three dark shadows darting into the hills behind the house. By the time they followed, not even a trace was to be seen.

After confirming with Dabai that the Dark guards had not followed, Mo Yan entered the Space and plucked a Thousand-year Ginseng and cut off a palm-sized Black Lingzhi, placing them into two small wooden boxes.
