Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Seeing Mo Li Again_1

"I am Feng Yuan, a discarded disciple of Wolf Mountain Hall. May I ask who you all are..."

Seeing the gazes of those few people fall upon him, Feng Yuan courteously greeted them and said, while a young girl, curious, spoke.

"Your voice sounds quite young; could you take off your hood so I can have a look?"

"What? Has the young lady taken a fancy to me?"

"Perhaps? I am very curious about your relationship with the current person at Wolf Mountain Hall."

Suddenly, Feng Yuan’s expression changed as he said coldly,

"An enemy! Since he dared to do such a thing, I can never share the sky with him!"

"Can you talk about it? Maybe I can seek justice for you."

Feng Yuan said with a bitter smile,

"That’s impossible. Ever since he used tricks to gain the Wolf God’s trust, I’ve no longer been able to draw power from the Wolf God. With the Wolf God backing him, how can I possibly obtain justice?"

"That might not be the case."

"I believe if the other party is truly evil, the Wolf God will surely listen to my Zhou Family’s persuasion. But, young man, do you truly not intend to let me see your face?"

Feng Yuan took off his hood and looked at the young girl, asking,

"Do you also judge good from evil based on appearance?"

Seeing Feng Yuan remove his hood, Mo Li grew anxious. After a while, when the young girl said she would find an opportunity to help Feng Yuan take back Wolf Mountain Hall and then left with the others, Feng Yuan put his hood back on and followed Mo Ling into the mansion of Prince Qing. After resting briefly in the main hall, Mo Ling came over and said to Feng Yuan,

"My brother wants to see you."

"Let’s go together."

Feng Yuan stood up and said to Yao Yin and Guo Huai, but Yao Yin, looking at Feng Yuan, declined,

"I’m not interested. You all enjoy such pointless activities. It’s not the least bit appealing."

Scratching his head, Guo Huai said,

"He didn’t invite me, so I better not go over."

"What do you think? Is that person the one from Wolf Mountain Hall?"

In a small room, the individuals who had just left gathered together. One of them looked at the young girl who had spoken to Feng Yuan earlier and asked. As she slowly sipped the tea in her hand, the girl calmly said,

"The feedback from that side is that they are not the same person. I also did not detect any traces of disguised power on him."

"Does that mean Wolf Mountain Hall might not necessarily side with him?"

"It’s hard to say. Although he calls himself a discarded disciple, but..."

"Regarding his matter, we can investigate slowly. I believe that if something has happened before, there must be traces left behind."

"If Wolf Mountain Hall sides with him, what should we do?"

"Eliminate the weaker party before they join forces!"

"You’ve really posed a big challenge for me..."

In the end, Yao Yin and Guo Huai still followed Feng Yuan, and upon seeing him, Mo Li stood up helplessly and said. Noticing Feng Yuan’s glance towards the door, Mo Li said calmly,

"Don’t worry, no one will eavesdrop on our conversation. Moreover, you came here so directly..."

Mo Li rubbed his temples with a headache. Seeing Mo Li’s headache, Yao Yin glared at Feng Yuan and said,

"Aren’t you going to explain? Look how you’ve nearly scared others to death."

Feng Yuan scoffed and said dismissively,

"He’s not so easily scared to death."

"Explain? Is there some special reason?"

Not just Mo Li, Mo Ling and Guo Huai were also very curious; after all, Feng Yuan had previously sworn that he must not reveal himself, yet the next moment he had spilled it all.

"In their eyes, I’m not the one from Wolf Mountain."

"Of course, including your servants as well. If you don’t believe me, you can have them try to draw my portrait."

Mo Li gave Hu Weng a look and then, apologetically looking at Feng Yuan, said,

"Sorry, the matter is of great importance..."

Feng Yuan waved his hand to cut off Mo Li’s words, saying,

"It’s fine. It would be troublesome if they knew that Wolf Mountain sided with you."

"But..."

Mo Li looked at Feng Yuan, hesitating. Feng Yuan knew what he worried about, and with a smile, he said,

"Rest assured, Feng Yuan definitely exists, and everything I’ve said about him is spot on. However, it’s impossible for them to find him anywhere else~"

Mo Li looked at Feng Yuan with a bit of wariness, while Yao Yin, who hadn’t noticed Mo Li’s reaction, turned to Feng Yuan and asked,

"Did you tamper with the information?"

"Yes, I inserted some information about Feng Yuan. It’s not a big deal, is it? Such a powerful Wolf Mountain Hall must have its shady affairs, right?"

Mo Ling looked at Feng Yuan with a strange expression and said,

"So, you are both Feng Yuan and Feng Yuan?"

"Yep~"

"If they go to check, both these people exist?"

"That’s right, what about it?"

"Nothing..."

Mo Ling felt he had worried over nothing just a moment ago. If things were as Feng Yuan described, it was merely a matter of Wolf Mountain Hall’s defeated turning to Mo Li for help. The King of Great Li wouldn’t make a sudden and harsh move, and besides, if Feng Yuan was right about the grudge between them, it’s possible that the opponent might even push "Feng Yuan" to Mo Li’s side.

After a while, Hu Weng entered with several scrolls and interrupted their conversation. Mo Li picked up the scrolls and found that, aside from the attire, the person depicted on them greatly differed from Feng Yuan standing before them. Placing the scrolls aside, Mo Li turned to Feng Yuan and said,

"Could you teach me this... face-changing technique?"

"I can’t. It’s not really a face-changing technique, it’s just a matter of interfering with cognition, that’s all."

"Interfering with cognition?"

Seeing Mo Li’s puzzled look, Feng Yuan waved his hand, and Mo Li was surprised to see everything around him change, with all objects taking on an extremely odd appearance.

"This is the perception altered according to Anernia’s preferences. Although the objects remain the same, the cognition of them has completely changed."

Standing unchanged, Feng Yuan spoke, and Mo Li, cautious, reached for where the scrolls were originally placed. The scrolls had turned into stone rods with blue flames burning on them. As his hand got closer to the flames, the burning sensation grew stronger, and after hesitating for a moment, Mo Li gritted his teeth and reached into the flames. Feng Yuan quickly grabbed Mo Li’s hand and pulled it away from the fire, looking at Mo Li’s burned right hand, Feng Yuan said speechlessly,

"You didn’t think it was just an illusion, did you? In cognition, there is no illusion. If you see flames, they definitely have the properties of fire."

"Brother! Are you okay?"

Next to him, Mo Ling saw Mo Li cautiously approaching the scrolls when suddenly his hand seemed to be burned by flames, which made her somewhat anxious.

Mo Li waved his hand and put his injured right hand behind him, giving Mo Ling a smile and said,

"It’s nothing."

Mo Ling glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Really, couldn’t you demonstrate with something safer?"

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan also felt somewhat helpless. How could he have known Mo Li would be bold enough to test the truth by sticking his hand directly into the fire? It was a good thing that interference with cognition can’t create higher-level properties, or he would have to go find Nagna of this era to treat Mo Li’s wounds.

"It was my carelessness, it has nothing to do with him,"

Mo Li said sternly to Mo Ling, who seemed a bit angry but then became somewhat helpless.

"So you’re saying you came here just to look around?"

Mo Li said with some disappointment, and Feng Yuan nodded in response,

"Yes, in any case, I won’t help you directly; at best, I can block some dark forces that you can’t handle yourself."

Mo Li sighed and no longer insisted, while Mo Ling looked at Feng Yuan, puzzled, and said,

"Since you’re here, can’t you help my brother?"

Feng Yuan shook his head and replied,

"No, I definitely can’t do it openly. Whether it’s the King of Great Li or the Eldest Prince, your brother must confront them on his own."

Seeing Mo Ling look a bit disappointed, Yao Yin smiled and said,

"Don’t you have any confidence in your brother?"

"Who said that!"

"Isn’t it true? If you had confidence in your brother, would it make any difference whether he helps?"

"This..."

Mo Ling hesitated, while nearby Mo Li curiously sized up Yao Yin, realizing that Mo Li was observing her, Yao Yin straightened her body, looked at Mo Li, and said,

"What? Do you have a crush on me? Sorry, but I already have someone I like."

Mo Li replied with a smile,

"No chance. I don’t want to drag anyone down before achieving my goals."

Remembering the historical records of the women who had sacrificed themselves for Mo Li, Guo Huai looked at Mo Li without a word.
