Mo Qiang could not help but question. Was Sun Shi asking her to return because she thought Mo Qiang would be nothing but baggage with Mo Xifeng already taking care of things?
But if she left then what about the hundreds of billions that she might leave behind? She couldn't leave. Not yet at least. Mo Qiang decided that no matter what Sun Shi said to her, she was not going to move her bottom from the chair on which she was sitting.
"I am afraid that you will be hurt," Sun Shi spoke up. She heard about everything that happened on the cliff and the more she listened to it, the more uncomfortable Sun Shi beca. This was no longer a case of just dealing with the Ruby Head Snake, it was now clear to her that a beast tar was controlling that large beast.
That wasn't even the worst, the Beast Tar was actually targeting Mo Qiang! If sothing happened to her then what was she going to tell Mo Yan?
If that was the case then she would be putting Mo Qiang's life in jeopardy if she were to let Mo Qiang continue venturing the borderline of the Ke Jin dinsion and the Red Moon forest.
"Now that we know that thing is targeting you because of the command of a Beast Tar, I think it will be foolish to let you go down the borderline and beco the target of that thing," Sun Shi was not an irresponsible person, she could not let Mo Qiang bear such a heavy risk alone. If the Beast Tar was targeting Mo Qiang then she needed to make sure that the woman would never succeed in her plans.
"I understand what you are saying but I apologize," Mo Qiang placed her hands on her knees and then spoke with a solemn expression, "Just like you said, that Beast Tar is after . So, if I leave then it will only cause chaos in the Ke Jin dinsion. At least as long as I am in this dinsion, that Beast Tar will only target and leave everyone else alone."
She paused for two seconds before continuing, "You might have already sensed it but the situation of your Ke Jin dinsion is not good. If this continues then your dinsion will be ruined in no ti."
Of course, Sun Shi was aware of the conditions of the Ke Jin dinsion. Being the Duke of this dinsion, she knew that more than two hundred families had already relocated after selling their lands at a very cheap price. So of these families even put up their properties on the governnt site to make sure that they were sold at the fastest pace, even if it ant giving these properties up for the cheapest rates.
If this continued, then it would be impossible for her to even pay the taxes and interests that every nobility had to pay in exchange for keeping their title.
"But that doesn't an that I can put your life in danger," Sun Shi sighed heavily. When Mo Qiang and Mo Xifeng ca to her dinsion, she thought that her troubles were finally going to end. Who would have thought that they would end up becoming even more problematic?
Now other than worrying about the conditions of her territory, she needed to worry who was after Mo Qiang.
"No need to worry Duke Sun, because I am the one who will be taking responsibility," Mo Qiang said to Sun Shi with a smile. Though the risks were obvious, when Mo Qiang thought about the potential of this dinsion, it was too difficult for her to drop everything and leave.
More importantly, she was not the kind of person who would leave a task undone. Wasn't this the reason why she went up the mountain with her boss to survey the surroundings even though she knew that there was a chance of a heavy landslide?
Mo Qiang was the kind of person who would continue with her work until she saw it to the end of it.
It wasn't in her nature to run from a task.
Of course, it was a bit difficult to reform the forest with Ruby Head Snake targeting her alone. Earlier Mo Qiang thought that she could use the distraction caused by the team and investigate the soil properties including the damage done to the mutated trees.
But with the current situation, she couldn't do it.
If that was the case then Mo Qiang could only go along with the 'Plan B'. Kill the Ruby Head Snake and continue with her investigation such that she can reform the forest.
However, there was one problem.
She had no idea what the weakness of that Ruby Head Snake was!
Sun Shi looked at Mo Qiang who seed confident but at the sa ti, she was worried. She felt it cowardly to leave such difficult matters in the hands of young won such as Mo Qiang.
It wasn't hard for Mo Qiang to understand what was going on in Sun Shi's head. After all, the woman was similar to Mo Yan. General Mo was the sa, she found it hard to leave her responsibility in the hands of soone else.
She was the kind of woman who would either face dying her responsibility or stand tall till the end.
Mo Qiang sighed. She looked at Sun Shi and repeated what she said the last ti, "Aunt Sun, you are not in a condition to face the Ruby Head Snake. Please leave this matter in our hands, it might take so ti but I assure you that I will not do anything that would endanger my or Little Xifeng's life."
She paused and subtly added, "Even if you were to co for our help, you would only add more burden to the team with your unstable core."
Her words caused Sun Shi to stiffen. As much as she wanted to refuse, she had to admit that Mo Qiang was right, with her current situation, she would be more of a burden than a help.
