The Tempestuous Consort – Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness Chapter 1096 - Believe In Mobai

Chapter 1096: Believe In Mobai

Si Mobai’s hand was wrapped around her slender waist. He looked down at her white and tender fingers and said, “Your husband is very confident in you. Whether it’s Weng Yue, Deng Hu, or even Lan’er, you all have a high chance of winning. As for the bet…”
Feng Tianlan looked up at him and saw his lips curled up mischievously. She waited for his next words.
“Your husband knows Deng Hu a little bit. Although he looks insensible, that’s because he’s protective. Shen Yunya was his apprentice, so he doesn’t care about the truth and only wants to avenge Shen Yunya. If you can make use of such an unscrupulous person, it will save you a lot of trouble at the Shang Institution.”
In short, for Si Mobai, being able to subdue an Alchemist like Deng Hu would be a good thing for Feng Tianlan.
“But he wouldn’t protect me even if I won, right?” Feng Tianlan was still a little puzzled. Deng Hu wanted to avenge Shen Yunya, so if he became her Medical Errand Child, he wouldn’t be doing so willingly. There would be resentment. He might backstab her, so how could he be trustworthy?
Si Mobai shook his head gently and broke down Deng Hu’s character for her. “That’s not true. Because he is obsessed with pill-making, he is a bit foolish in all other things. He is loyal and obedient to a fault. Just believe in your husband, using him is a good thing and you won’t lose anything doing so.”
After coming to Xuantian Continent, the first thing he did was to gain an understanding of all the forces at play as well as the famous people on the Xuantian Continent so that he could identify who is a friend, who is an enemy, and also find out the weaknesses of the others.
Deng Hu was the second-best Alchemist on Xuantian Continent. As for the best Alchemist, he hadn’t appeared for a long time, so technically, Deng Hu could be said to be the best.
It would be the best for Lan’er to have such a person under her thumb.
“But just because I win, will he give up on avenging Shen Yunya just like that? He doesn’t seem to be protective at all, but capricious instead.” Feng Tianlan was even more puzzled now. This had nothing to do with foolishness or protectiveness, right?
Si Mobai looked down at her with a chuckle, then stretched out his hand, and flicked her forehead. “My silly Lan’er.”
“I’m not silly.” Feng Tianlan glared at him. She was only expressing her doubts. She didn’t want to be around someone who wanted to kill her at any time and make her have to always be on her guard. It would be too tiring for her.
“This incident was originally Shen Yunya’s fault. That is well known in the world. As long as he stirs up the slightest ruckus, and because he cares about his pride, there will be a lot of people when the time of the competition comes, so he won’t be able to go back on his word and he won’t think about getting revenge anymore. In the end, you weren’t in the wrong, so you don’t have to die for her.”
Feng Tianlan looked up at him and saw that he was speaking so seriously. She smiled. “Okay, I will believe in you, Mobai.”
Si Mobai hugged her and leaned his jaw lightly against her hair. Since he had made this bet, he probably thought Deng Hu would do things for her and there would be no other worries. She still needed to thank the talented people around her, especially the Shang Institution. She wouldn’t have been able to enter without his presence.
News of Feng Tianlan competing with the chief disciple of the best alchemy teacher of the Shang Institution quickly swept across the entire Lin’an city. At this time, at the end of August, many people were rushing to take the exam. Daring to challenge the Shang Institution was simply digging one’s own grave.
But Feng Tianlan didn’t concern herself with the ridicule of the outside world and focused her efforts on searching for Xi Jin’s whereabouts.
