Hua Kongque went directly to the person and dragged him to the private compartnt behind the box. Soon screams of agony echoed from the compartnt. After a while, Hua Kongque ca out, swinging his arm, "Girl, next ti I’ll invite you to dinner again, let’s get you ho first."
This al was beyond eating.
Lan Tian uttered a sound of agreent, turned, and walked out of the box, then suddenly turned back to Ye Junying, "I’m leaving first."
Ye Junying smiled, "Next ti, let’s et in a quieter place."
"Alright." Lan Tian agreed and turned to leave. Zhang Shenjing and Hua Kongque quickly followed, thanking Ye Junying as they passed by him.
After Lan Tian and the others left, soone who could speak with Ye approached, "Mr. Ye, who is that girl from?" This person was very shrewd, speaking with a respectful tone.
Ye Junying glanced at him, his gaze cold and chilling to the bone, cold sweat forming on the man’s forehead. Only then did Ye Junying speak, "Mind your own business; she is not soone you should ss with. Go, that man in there, chop off his hands and deliver them to his grandpa with a ssage: ’A father’s failure is teaching his son. So people are untouchable.’"
The people in the box shuddered in unison, a chill running down their spines, feeling as though they were soaked in cold water. They were also relieved that it wasn’t them who reached out to the girl. They were curious when such a formidable character had erged in Beijing, and why they hadn’t caught any wind of it.
Without even touching her, it led to a chopping of hands.
The man, after receiving Ye Junying’s orders, called a few people in.
.........
Lan Tian was unaware of the events in the box after her departure, and even if she knew, she didn’t care. The man’s lustful gaze upon her was familiar; Lan Tian was no naive girl. In her past life, during her travels, she encountered many such gazes, which she detested profoundly. She used to gouge out the eyes of such beholders. Later, with Ji Feng by her side, no one dared to look at her that way.
The atmosphere in the car was heavy. Zhang Shenjing stopped his chatter, wearing a stern face, and Hua Kongque’s expression was also somber. Lan Tian looked out the window, still thinking about He Xu Palace and did not notice the strange expressions of the two, nor the oppressive atmosphere in the car.
"Dammit."
Through the rearview mirror, seeing Lan Tian’s indifferent and silent deanor, Zhang Shenjing cursed softly.
Hua Kongque patted his shoulder and after a long sigh, neither expected the situation to turn out this way.
After a while, Zhang Shenjing hesitantly said, "I’m sorry for scaring you, rest assured, I will deal with this matter."
Turning back and seeing the remorseful expressions on their faces, Lan Tian was startled, then realized what he ant and smiled with relief, "I’m fine, really, I’m not as fragile as you think. He didn’t touch , and if it weren’t for Ye Junying stopping his hand, I would have broken it myself."
That man was already on Lan Tian’s list; tonight, she would pay him a special visit. After finishing, seeing their incredulous expressions, Lan Tian laughed again.
"What’s wrong? You both look like you can’t believe such words could co from my mouth. He touched my bottom line. Don’t think of as too nice, nor consider weak and in need of protection. I am powerful."
"Alright, don’t bla yourselves, this matter isn’t related to you." Lan Tian finished speaking and closed her eyes, releasing her Divine Sense. So things can’t be seen with eyes but are fully revealed under Divine Sense. If even Divine Sense couldn’t detect it, it would an either the opponent’s Cultivation is several realms higher than hers, or this place has really nothing to do with He Xu Palace.
Arriving at the gate of Mo Mansion, Lan Tian waved goodbye to them, then knocked on the door and went in. Zhang Shenjing and Hua Kongque watched Lan Tian enter the Mo Mansion before driving away.
Passing the building and seeing a light still on in the dicine House on the second floor, Lan Tian paused and then turned toward the second floor.
The door of the dicine House was unhooked, and it opened easily with a gentle push. Through the crack in the door, Lan Tian saw Mr. Mo sitting at his desk reading. She knocked before entering.
"Grandpa, you haven’t slept yet."
"Girl, you’re back." Mr. Mo set down his book, stood up, and ca over to a small tea table. He sat down and fiddled with the charcoal fire in the small stove, waiting for the water to boil for tea, "Have you had dinner? If not, I’ll tell the chef to make you a bowl of noodles."
"I’ve eaten." Lan Tian ca over and naturally took the teapot from Mr. Mo’s hand, taking out new Spiritual Tea from the Sleeve Universe to brew, pouring a cup for Mr. Mo.
"Everything’s been handled." Mr. Mo took a sip and imdiately noticed the difference, "The taste is different, there’s a fresh pine fragrance. You’ve made new tea."
"Still, Grandpa is impressive, you tasted it imdiately. It’s new tea, I made so, drink this first." Lan Tian was very cooperative, pulling out two tea cans and placing them on the table, "If you find it delicious, I’ll make more next ti. Drinking more of this is okay."
Lan Tian enjoyed the light pine fragrance, savoring a sip, squinting in rembrance, and then taking another sip, "It wasn’t very smooth, after so many years, finding it wasn’t easy, but I already have a clue. It’s only a matter of ti before I find it."
"Ro wasn’t built in a day, take it slow." Listening to the girl’s words, it seed like she was searching for sothing. As long as it wasn’t anything dangerous, Mr. Mo was relieved.
"Grandpa likes this tea; make more next ti. Us old people easily get drowsy; ti for sleep, you should sleep early too." After finishing the tea, Mr. Mo carefully packed the two tea cans, waving his hand to indicate Lan Tian could leave.
"Grandpa, I have sothing to ask," Lan Tian set down her tea cup and didn’t leave; Mr. Mo sat back down to listen, "What is it."
"Grandpa, have you heard of He Xu Palace? Is there such a place in Beijing?"
"He Xu Palace?" Mr. Mo stroked the tea cup, narrowing his eyes, and after thinking for a while, said, "I haven’t heard of it, there seems to be no such palace in Beijing. Are you sure there’s such a palace in Beijing?"
"I’m not sure if it exists, Old Ji’s poisoning is related to it." Even Mr. Mo hadn’t heard of it; Lan Tian was thoughtful, the palace was truly well-hidden.
"Grandpa has a few old comrades, their ancestors are from Imperial City Roots; I’ll ask them for you." Hearing it concerned Old Ji, Mr. Mo’s expression beca more serious.
"Don’t ask, lest we alert the enemy. Who’s involved in this matter, no one knows; Ji Feng is already investigating. I’ll keep looking around in Beijing." Lan Tian didn’t ntion the near molestation incident at the restaurant.
"Okay." After pondering for a while, Mr. Mo nodded, Ji Feng’s plan on his side was more important; he cautioned Lan Tian, "Be careful then."
"I know, Grandpa, you don’t have any important things coming up, don’t go out for now." Lan Tian, concerned for Mr. Mo, specifically instructed him.
