Chapter 342: The Unusual Eye Girl Brought Back by Li Wu!

After Lady Ehuang and Bai Siming finished expressing their requests, the Moon Goddess fell silent for a long while.

The two looked at her nervously, not daring to make a sound.

After quite some time, the Moon Goddess finally spoke slowly amidst their expectations: “I can give it a try.”

This sentence undoubtedly indicated her agreement.

Both of them simultaneously showed expressions of joy.

“Thank you, Lord Moon Goddess.”

The Moon Goddess waved her hand gently, saying, “You two should return to the Yin-Yang School for now. Just report truthfully to Donghuang Taiyi; I will handle things here. Your lives will be safe.”

The news of Nu Ying and Hei Siming being captured couldn’t be hidden, nor was there any need to hide it.

Donghuang Taiyi would eventually find out.

Filled with joy, Lady Ehuang and Bai Siming walked out of the Astrology Tower.

After closing the heavy door, the two exchanged glances simultaneously.

Bai Siming spoke lightly, “With the assistance of the Moon Goddess and Lady Dongjun, Sister and Nu Ying will surely be fine.”

Lady Ehuang’s expression improved somewhat as she echoed, “With their help, we need not worry; let’s head back to the Yin-Yang School.”

This time they suffered both losses in personnel and equipment, and they would definitely face punishment upon returning.

However, Li Mo’s appearance was something even Donghuang Taiyi did not anticipate.

Even if the mission had failed, they could not be blamed.

If there was blame to be assigned, it would solely be for Donghuang Taiyi’s miscalculations.

As soon as the two walked away, the Moon Goddess rose and made her way upstairs.

Inside the Astrology Tower, there was only one staircase, but it could lead to two places.

One was the Astrology Platform on the rooftop.

The other was the room where the Moon Goddess usually resided.

Arriving at the doorway of her room, the Moon Goddess gently pushed the door open and walked straight in.

Looking at the two people inside, she said, “So it turns out you came to seek me.”

There were two figures sitting in the room.

Besides Li Mo and Fei Yan, who else could be in the Moon Goddess’s chamber?

Hearing the Moon Goddess’s tone, which suggested a matter-of-fact realization, Li Mo smiled and said, “Isn’t this just an acknowledgment of your status and abilities in their eyes?”

The Moon Goddess cast him a sideways glance, her gaze carrying a hint of sorrow.

She elegantly stepped forward and sat beside him, perfectly positioning herself between Li Mo and Fei Yan.

Then she slowly spoke, “To be more precise, they did not come to seek my help.”

The Moon Goddess turned to Fei Yan: “They came to ask me to get my Senior Sister to help.”

When she said this, the Moon Goddess maintained an unprecedented calm demeanor.

If this were earlier, she would have brimming jealousy in such a situation.

Why?

It implied that in Lady Ehuang and Bai Siming’s minds, her abilities were inferior to those of her Senior Sister.

But now, the Moon Goddess seemed to have come to terms with it.

She was indifferent to it.

Achieving the serene mindset that matched her disposition.

Fei Yan chuckled lightly and took over the conversation, “It shows that Junior Sister, you are more favored in the Yin-Yang School. If there is a position for the head of the Yin-Yang School, I think you’d be the one.”

Lady Ehuang and Nu Ying did not want to seek Fei Yan’s help.

Rather, they dared not approach her!

Upon hearing this, the Moon Goddess was instantly startled.

Donghuang Taiyi was probing Li Mo’s limits step by step.

Now that the seven copper boxes had been gathered, the secret of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon would eventually be revealed.

If there really was some mysterious power hidden behind this, Donghuang Taiyi would undoubtedly not let it slide.

By then, there would definitely be a final battle between him and Li Mo.

The victor would be qualified to become the master of that power.

And the loser would undoubtedly cease to exist in this world.

If Donghuang Taiyi died, the position of the head of the Yin-Yang School would be left vacant.

At that point, the one most qualified to inherit the position would be Fei Yan, the Dongjun.

But now, listening to her tone, was she planning to give this position to herself?

The recently departed Lady Ehuang and Bai Siming would never have guessed.

They were counting on the Moon Goddess and Fei Yan to rescue them.

And yet, they were already discussing who should take over as the head of the Yin-Yang School!

As for what the Moon Goddess had just agreed to, she never said for certain that she could rescue anyone.

She stated that she could give it a try.

What she could guarantee was the safety of Nu Ying and Hei Siming.

But she did not specify whether she could rescue them or when it might happen.

As long as Nu Ying and Hei Siming are in Li Mo’s hands, Lady Ehuang and Bai Siming dare not act rashly.

During this period, Li Mo had been focusing on researching the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.

The items in the copper boxes had all been gathered, but he could not uncover their mysteries in a short time.

Some of the items appeared completely unrelated, making it hard to understand their possible functions.

One day, as usual, Li Mo came out of the room rubbing his head.

As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by Jing Ni, who was returning to take a nap with Xiao Yan’er in her arms.

“…Husband, still no progress?”

The little girl in Jing Ni’s arms, Xiao Yan’er, stared curiously at her dad who was walking out of the room with her big, twinkling eyes.

“Nothing to show for it.”

Seeing this mother-daughter duo, Li Mo immediately broke into a smile.

He reached out to take Xiao Yan’er from Jing Ni’s arms, and they returned to the room together.

Except for the Reverse Scale Sword at the entrance, the other seven items from the copper boxes were spread out on the table.

The only thing known for certain was that the small tower in Qin State could contain souls, and so could the Reverse Scale Sword.

As for the effects of the other five items, they remained unknown.

Whether infusing his own qi or Jing Ni’s internal energy, these items seemed completely inert, like lifeless objects.

“A secret buried for hundreds of years is not easy to unravel, so don’t be too anxious; take care not to hurt yourself.”

After feeding Xiao Yan’er and lulling her to sleep, Jing Ni comforted Li Mo with concern.

Then she raised her head to look at him intently, blushing, and called out shyly, “Husband.”

Li Mo understood Jing Ni’s meaning instantly.

After a while, he wiped the corner of his mouth and helped Jing Ni button up her clothes.

Softly, he said, “You should rest for a while too; I’ll go out for a bit.”

Relieved, Jing Ni lay next to Xiao Yan’er, blushing as she nodded shyly.

Although they had been together for so long as a married couple, Jing Ni hadn’t grown any thicker skin.

Li Mo left the room again, making his way towards the entrance.

He had noticed that Li Wu, who should be far at the border of Yan State, had returned.

And she was not alone.

She brought a stunning woman with a pair of heterochromatic eyes!
