Plant Sage’s eyes shined and looked at Ji Mo Ya, since she has entered closed-door seclusion, staying behind would only be a waste of time, let’s go?
Ji Mo Ya was silent for a moment before he turned towards Bai Li Ren with his usual warm smile; for Bai Li Ren, that smile looked extremely mischievous and irritating instead.
“Uncle, this junior needs to attend to something in the Holy Court first. I greatly appreciated the scenery within the Bai Li Clan and enjoyed my stay here over the past few days. This junior hopes that I can come and stay here in the future.” His words were very straightforward, I might be leaving, but keep a spot for me to stay.
Bai Li Ren nearly laughed out in frustration.
However, Plant Sage was wearing a serious expression since he received the spirit crane and was not in the mood to listen to this relationship banter again. He immediately said his goodbyes and dragged Ji Mo Ya away.
Ji Mo Ya helplessly looked at the direction where Little Yan left to, thinking in his heart: Little Yan, you must wait for me!
With Sage Cai, Plant Sage and Ji Mo Ya gone, only Shang Qiu Meng Qian, Nan Gong Bei Chen, and Bai Chen Feng remained. They looked at each other and noticed each other’s intentions, they felt a moment of camaraderie before feeling that the other two being an eyesore.
Little Yan has entered seclusion and it seems like she did not want to be disturbed. They decided to be tactful this time, or they might leave a bad impression with the Bai Li Clan.
The three exchanged looks again before leaving.
***
Nan Gong Bei Chen, Shang Qiu Meng Qian, and Bai Chen Feng each developed their own plan after leaving the Bai Li Clan.
Now that Huan Qing Yan has broken off with Ji Mo Ya, these three cooperators were now love rivals.
And they found each other to be extremely displeasing to the eye.
None of them spoke, worried that they might unknowingly let the others know what they have in mind.
That was why they quickly bid a hasty farewell and left.
Shang Qiu Meng Qian looked at the disappearing backs of Nan Gong Bei Chen and Bai Chen Feng before revealing a smirk, he told the servants beside him: “Back to the Bai Li Clan!”
“Yes…” his subordinates did not dare to say anything else, they have only traveled less than a hundred miles from the Bai Li Clan and turned around to head back.
***
The three people rode on Ji Mo Ya’s Flowing Cloud Flying Carriage on their return journey.
Sage Cai immediately asked when they sat down: “What happened at the Holy Court?”
It was likely that many people in the hall had sensed something was wrong, but no one dares to voice out to ask.
Sage Cai did not have such restraints and was also slightly frustrated that the Holy Court was making it difficult for Ji Mo Ya at this crucial moment.
It happened once, now it had happened again, is the Holy Court out to make the Ji Mo Clan’s life difficult?
Plant Sage revealed an embarrassed face and tried to appease Sage Cai, only after extorting several good stuff did Sage Cai finally let things slide.
Seeing that Sage Cai was now feeling better, Plant Sage said with a solemn expression: “Wine Sage sent a message, saying that someone had rescued Bai Li Zi Xi from the dungeons when he was drunk.”
Ji Mo Ya’s brow twitched, he wanted to say something but quickly controlled himself and lowered his head.
It was Sage Cai after a cold laughed: “The Holy Court’s dungeon is heavily guarded, who can rescue someone without any trace? The old drunk was also there, although he likes to drink, he rarely really gets drunk. How can a person who can drink a thousand cups get drunk? This must be planned by someone, is there a mole in the Holy Court?”
Using one sentence to point to the crux of the issue.
The Plant Sage looked like an amiable old man most of the time, but he was also a person of detail; he had naturally thought about the points that Sage Cai had identified as well.
