Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 544 - Key Prevention Object

Chapter 544: Key Prevention Object

“Chuxi, we just saw a person who was having a free meal and he ate like he was swallowing mountains and rivers, like clouds devouring the sun,” said Jiang Wuhen with a fascinated look. He had also had free meals before, but without exclusion they had always ended with him being beaten till he threw up however much he ate. Oh, no, maybe even more than that, because he would also throw up his food from the night before. So it was all the more amazing to see that old man just now having a free meal and was not only not beaten up for it, but in the end, the shopkeeper had even respectfully sent him out the door. Such a sight truly made Jiang Wuhen extremely admire that old man.
“Wait, was this old man you are talking about dressed like a village tycoon?” asked Ling Chuxi as her heart moved.
“How did you know? Did you also see him?” Jiang Wuhen confirmed Ling Chuxi’s guess in surprise.
“No, but I know who you are talking about,” said Ling Chuxi. Who else could get a free meal and eat with such great vigor, aside from Nan Xia Country’s guardian, Mo Kongyuan? Aside from him, who else could it be?
“He has returned?” Fu Chengyu also guessed at who Jiang Wuhen was talking about and raised his head in delight. The last few times they sought pointers, he was only able to sit by the side and watch because his cultivation level was insufficient. Now that he had cultivation in the realm of Great Fulfilment and had the ability to put up a fight, how could he not be overjoyed by this news?
“We should also go and visit the old man already,” said Ling Chuxi with a dry smile and raised brows. “We haven’t seen him in a long time and I even feel like I miss him a little.”
Mo Kongyuan who had had his fill and was burping on his way home suddenly felt his spine go cold before he sneezed mightily. “What’s going on? Is the temperature dropping?” Mo Kongyuan raised his head to look at the sky in confusion. There was nothing odd about it. Then, what was with this reaction of his? What was going on?
Ling Chuxi was thinking about another problem that had been bugging her. The cold and gloomy qi in her Qi Ocean. What was it exactly? Ling Chuxi had not been able to find an answer. Mo Kongyuan, a guardian of a country who was inextricably linked to sects, should be able to give her an answer.
Early the next morning, Ling Chuxi, Fu Chengyu and Ling Yichen went over to Mo Kongyuan’s residence.
Seeing their figures from afar, the expression of the housekeeper who was standing guard by the door changed.
When this same group of people had come to seek pointers the last time, the proper garden here was given a total facelift, and only after great efforts was it able to be recovered to its original state.
As a result, Ling Chuxi had become a key object of prevention to them. There were three types of threats they had to prevent—fire, theft and Ling Chuxi!
“Uncle Chai, we are here to visit Mister Mo,” said Ling Chuxi to the housekeeper kindly.
“Mister Mo has left to travel and has yet to return,” replied the housekeeper in fear.
“But that can’t be, can it? I clearly saw Mister Mo yesterday, and it seemed like he had even forgotten to bring money along when he went to have a meal. Could it be that it wasn’t him I saw? No way. I have to go to the restaurant and seek clarification,” said Ling Chuxi in surprise.
“This…” Uncle Chai’s face flushed. Other people did not know about Mister Mo’s bad habits, but if they did, would they still be able to remain ignorant of such habits? He was really afraid that if Ling Chuxi went to seek clarification and it was made known that a guardian of a country actually made a habit of eating free meals, it would bring much shame.
“Uncle Chai, I’m sorry to trouble you to report our presence. Just let him know that this time, we are not here to request Mister Mo’s pointers on martial arts techniques but instead have a very important matter that would like to seek his counsel about,” said Ling Chuxi. She could tell that Uncle Chai was worried and so offered an explanation for their visit.
“All right then. The few of you please wait a moment.” Uncle Chai knew that he could not dodge this and could only enter the garden with a bitter look.
After a while, Uncle Chai came out to call them in. His head was lowered as he led Ling Chuxi, Fu Chengyu and Ling Yichen into the garden. Obviously, he had been scolded by Mo Kongyuan.
