  But there was really nothing he could do right now, it would not end well if he angered him.

  ”Master, could it be that we just let it be?” Bai Mo did not mind, but the person beside him did, his eyes were even filled with killing intent, it was as if he was eager to kill that person if an order was given.

  Bai Mo gently caressed his wrist, the corner of his lips arced into a cold smile: “Don’t worry, they won’t be prancing around for a very long time,” He let them be because they still had their use, it would be their time to die once their value was lost.

  ”Master, must we really bring back that trash?” They were well aware of where the King of Miaojiang was, but they just did not mention it.

  Bai Mo nodded his head: “That’s of course.”


  Although he was blamed by others and was not feeling good about it, he would not really just let it be.

  ”Alright, we’ll first put up an act and search around,” Bai Mo said casually. He believed that even if he did not explain his actions, his followers would definitely understand him.

  ”Master, don’t worry, I know what to do.”


  The Second High Priest and the others were finally at ease when they came to know Bai Mo had sent people to search for the King of Miaojiang. “That’s more like it.” The Second High Priest mumbled softly.

  After pretending to search for a few days, Bai Mo finally brought his people and appeared at Ning Meng Yao’s gate.

  Bai Mo had helplessness in his eyes after seeing that tightly shut door, he asked his men to knock on it.

  The person who opened the door was a temporarily hired servant: “Who are you all looking for?”


  ”I’m here to meet your master.”


  ”Please hold on, I’ll report to the young miss,” He then closed the door and ran to the inner courtyard.

  Bai Mo’s expression instantly became dark, how many years has it been since someone actually closed their doors in his face? This was probably the first time.

  The door was finally opened once more after a long while. The person who came this time was Number 3. When he saw them, he observed Bai Mo for some time which caused Bai Mo to feel dissatisfied.

  ”Are you done looking?”


  ”Not yet, who knows if you have anything on you that could harm our young miss,” Number 3 was not feeling embarrassed for being caught staring as he said in an expected manner.

  He was clearly implying: I’m worried you would harm my master. That’s why I made such a choice, it’s all your fault, what does it have to do with me?

  ”I want to meet your Princess,” Bai Mo was trying his best to suppress his exploding rage, he was trying hard to tell himself not to be angered.

  ”Come in.”


  Bai Mo originally thought he would be refused at the door again, who knew that Number 3 would allow him in so straightforwardly.

  There must be something fishy going on. Bai Mo felt it based on Number 3’s attitude.

  Bai Mo followed behind Number 3 and arrived at the courtyard where he met Ning Meng Yao the last time. Over there, the ground was covered in a thick layer of carpet and two children were sitting and playing on it.

  His gaze landed on the two children on the carpet, especially the younger one. He was chubby, his pair of eyes were very similar to Nangong Yan, his facial features were slightly similar to Xiao Cheng Ya, but it was mostly similar to Ning Meng Yao.

  ”I wonder why is the Imperial Tutor here today,” Ning Meng Yao asked straight away without waiting for Bai Mo to sit down.

  ”The priests and elders of Miaojiang are already searching for that person, you’re not planning to release him yet?” Bai Mo wasn’t embarrassed in the slightest as he casually asked Ning Meng Yao.

  Ning Meng Yao shrugged her shoulders: “I do not have any thoughts of releasing him yet.”


  ”Me being here today, I’m afraid others would soon find out that he’s in your hands. When the time comes, I’m afraid you will not have a good time in Miaojiang,” Although the people from Miaojiang were schemers, they were an ethnic group who were very protective of their own kind.

  Ning Meng Yao chuckled: “Is that so? Why don’t we continue making a bet and see whether I can no longer stay in Miaojiang or would there be a political change?” Ning Meng Yao said in a relaxed manner as if it had nothing to do with her.
