Chapter 932: Chapter 579 Ill Will

Su Meimo’s unusual attitude did not cause Xu Yuan to alert the enemy prematurely.

After their first encounter, the sun rose and set twice more.

During these two days, Xu Yuan maintained his usual daily routine.

Reading, tasting tea, and sunbathing.

However, during this period, he did happen to encounter that enchantingly charming woman three times.

Twice alone, and once with Big Ice Lump.

Strictly speaking, Su Meimo had never met Big Ice Lump, but she should have an unforgettable impression of the name Ying’er.

After all, it was Ying’er who personally tormented her back in Jingjiang Prefecture, and also trained her in espionage.

Yet, without exception, Su Meimo still maintained her frosty demeanor.

"Creak—"

Deep into the night, the valley was tranquil, and with the groan of the old wooden door, Xu Yuan pushed it open and entered Ran Qingmo’s guest room.

Hearing the sound, Ran Qingmo, who was cultivating with the Source Crystal, immediately dispersed her cultivation technique and cast a wary look from the bed towards Xu Yuan at the door.

What are you doing in my room at this late hour?

"......"

Xu Yuan feigned ignorance, and walked into the room, sitting down at the desk inside.

He didn’t close the door.

Soon, another figure, dressed in a gauzy nightgown, also walked in from the door.

Bai Muxi, who had been cooped up in her room all day, had craftily donned this revealing nightgown during Xu Yuan’s occasional visit.

Seeing this, Ran Qingmo didn’t think much of it, her serene eyes flickered.

This was the first time since arriving at this manor that the three of them had gathered together.

Xu Yuan must want to discuss something...

Thinking this, Ran Qingmo silently got off the bed and put on her shoes. Just then, the door creaked closed, and the entire room suddenly plunged into pitch-black darkness.

In the darkness, Xu Yuan’s voice sounded, straightforward:

"Have you noticed that this manor seems to be hiding some peculiar secrets?"

Ran Qingmo finished putting on her boots, sat down by the desk according to her memory, shook her head, and asked softly:

"Xu Yuan...what have you discovered?"

Bai Muxi, after pondering for a moment, asked in a low voice:

"Young Master, are you referring to those demon insects? A settlement of hundreds of people, such a massive target, yet not a single demon insect came attracted by the scent, indeed it’s quite peculiar."

"That’s one aspect."

As Xu Yuan spoke, he lit the oil lamp on the desk with a tuft of dark red flames.

The special flame illuminated the three people sitting around the desk, casting eerie, faint shadows.

After doing this, Xu Yuan lightly tapped the tabletop and said slowly:

"That woman residing in the Sufeng Residence is an old acquaintance of mine..."

Noticing that Ran Qingmo’s gaze changed slightly, Xu Yuan added:

"She can also be considered a spy I planted earlier, under the command of the Black Scale Guards. I have tested her numerous times these past three days, but the result is she has no reaction whatsoever to my hints."

Sitting quietly, Ran Qingmo didn’t speak.

After a moment of thought, Bai Muxi hesitantly asked:

"If she is a spy supposed to cooperate from within, could it be that she is afraid of exposure and thus cannot acknowledge you?"

Xu Yuan glanced at Xiao Bai and countered:

"Even if she can’t acknowledge me, responding to some hints shouldn’t be that difficult, right?"

The oil fire flickered,

Xu Yuan waved his hand, dispersing the strange dark mist in front of him, and said softly:

"So I suspect there might be some issues with her cognition or memory."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan’s lips involuntarily curled upward slightly.

Although this wasn’t the best atmosphere, he couldn’t help himself.

True to your nature, Su Jinxuan.

It’s truly embarrassing that an Enchantress Divine Physique could get brainwashed by someone else.

At this moment, Ran Qingmo suddenly spoke lightly:

"Xu Yuan, are you suspecting there’s something wrong with Lady Wan?"

Xu Yuan nodded with a smile, but before he could continue, Bai Muxi suddenly interjected:

"Young Master, perhaps try testing her a few more times before drawing a conclusion?"

Raising an eyebrow, Xu Yuan, while extending his Spiritual Vision, said softly:

"How so?"

Bai Muxi slightly leaned forward, her arm pressing the half-exposed chest as she gently touched her smooth and fair chin, softly suggesting:

"If Lady Wan is very strong, and if she harbors ill intentions, we might find it difficult to resist. It would be best to think thrice before acting, and besides, we are not in a hurry at this moment."

After staring at Xiao Bai’s face which flickered under the lamp, Xu Yuan suddenly chuckled lightly and uttered three words:

"Sounds reasonable."

"Then we...."

"Mu Xi."

Xu Yuan softly interrupted her, suddenly asking:

"We have been together for so long, since I can say this, you should clearly know how confident I am in my judgments, right?"

While saying this, Xu Yuan paused, his eyes filled with puzzlement as he asked:

"Moreover, I remember you used to be the one who was most paranoid, ready to kill at the slightest suspicion. How come now, when I am determined, you start being cautious?"

"......"

As the words fell, Bai Muxi was momentarily stunned, her mouth opened to speak.

But while she was lost in thought, the silly woman next to her had already placed an Ink Sword against her fair neck.

"....." Bai Muxi quietly closed her mouth.

The Sharp Blade was less than a millimeter away from her neck, any slight movement would sever her head from her body.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan showed no surprise in his eyes, because Big Ice Lump had always been like this.

Normally though seemingly naive and polite, she would become extremely decisive and murderous when it came to enemies.

With a gentle movement, Xu Yuan stood up and placed his hand on the immovable forehead of Bai Muxi, softly saying:

"Mu Xi, don’t resist."

After his words, the mist went silent.

As Spiritual Vision was directly infused into Bai Muxi’s body, her thinly clad body started trembling uncontrollably.

A moment later, Xu Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows.

He found a barely detectable impurity in the structure of Bai Muxi’s brain.

After sensing the structure within it for a moment, Xu Yuan’s expression grew slightly serious:

"Affecting consciousness through the body, it’s neither Qi state nor Will-spirit..."

Alive, he glanced at the room shrouded in black fog, his lips curved slightly:

"So it’s actually a solid... oh no, a strange material between Qi state and solid?"

Feeling the existence mode of this odd material, Xu Yuan inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity rise within him.

But a moment later, that familiar feeling dissipated like flowing sand.

It was time to give it up.

After checking Xiao Bai’s body inside and out, Xu Yuan gently exhaled:

"No connected Energy Mechanisms, removing this stuff, they shouldn’t be able to sense it."

With that,

Xu Yuan then carefully guided the black Source Qi into Bai Muxi’s body, dissolving and decomposing the small cluster of impurities.

He sat down again.

Xu Yuan, looking slightly weary, waved his hand towards Ran Qingmo, gesturing to let down the sword, and quietly instructed:

"For the next few days, none of you should practice cultivation, and it’s best not to breathe, don’t let your body interact with the outside world at all. There’s something eerily hovering all around this estate."

"..."

The sword was removed, and seeing Ran Qingmo’s apologetic eyes, Bai Muxi gently pursed her lips, and after a long while, softly said:

"Mu Xi thanks you, master, but aren’t we leaving now?"

"Don’t worry, Lady Wan’s actions are so overly cautious, she must also have fears regarding us."

Xu Yuan glanced at her, shook his head slightly, his eyes cold, stressing each word:

"Leave?

"Why leave?

"Su Jinxuan and Tianyan together entered Qianji Gorge, and now Su Jinxuan is being controlled by that dead pregnant woman, Tianyan’s whereabouts are completely unknown.

"Considering such a great gratitude, I’m rather eager to thoroughly interrogate this adversary with unclear hostility."

With that,

Xu Yuan took out a crystal-like entity from the Sumeru Ring, his Spiritual Vision and soul fog resonating with those mind-controlling creepy floaters, a shadow of Mu Zhiyun Commandery Princess unconsciously emerged in his mind, his tone turning chillingly cold:

"And also, these things remind me of some interesting memories."

With that,

"Snap."

The crystal entity suddenly shattered, an invisible ripple rapidly sped towards the heart of Dayan from the center of the estate!
