~10 min read 1,809 words

Upon hearing Master Qin's words, Han Li appeared surprised on the surface, but in reality, he was quite unconvinced. He felt that ten to nine, she was just another pitiful woman poisoned by things like "Biographies of Chaste and Virtuous Women."

The young masters in the hall, upon hearing that the cousin was coming, immediately revealed joyful expressions and whispered incessantly, their eyes filled with expectant looks. This made Han Li feel slightly startled, but he then suddenly realized and guessed that this cousin must be as beautiful as a flower!

Just as Han Li was thinking this, the little maid and a young woman dressed in plain clothes walked in from outside the living room.

Although this woman was delicate and beautiful, and extremely quiet, her entire body exuded an indescribable, fiery charm. Her touching demeanor made most of the men in the hall feel the urge to hold her in their arms and cherish her.

As for those wet-behind-the-ears young boys, they opened their eyes wide and stared fiercely.

It seemed that these Qin family young masters had been infatuated with this cousin for a long time!

However, when Han Li saw the woman's face clearly, a look of shock flashed in his eyes. The dullness on her face had suddenly disappeared. Fortunately, a moment later, Han Li suppressed his emotions and returned to his original expression.

Because this change had all been completed in an instant, and everyone's gaze was on the young woman who had just entered the hall, otherwise he would have almost revealed his secret.

But at this moment, Han Li's heart was surging like rolling waves.

Although this "cousin" had changed somewhat in appearance compared to before and had a bit more of a young woman's charm, from those eyes full of spirit and that delicate, oval-shaped face, Han Li recognized at a glance that this so-called "cousin" was actually the Second Miss of the Mo Mansion, whom he had only met a few times back then—the delicate girl who loved studying medicine, Mo Mo Fengwu.

As soon as Mo Mo Fengwu entered the room, she was stared at by everyone until her face turned slightly red, and she automatically lowered her head, naturally failing to see Han Li sitting below Master Qin.

Seeing the unpromising appearance of these juniors, Master Qin felt extremely annoyed!

"Cough!" "Cough!"

His face sank, and after coughing hard a few times, those young men who were infatuated with Mo Mo Fengwu's beauty finally woke up as if from a dream, withdrew their gazes, and once again assumed the appearance of upright gentlemen. They were terrified of angering the head of the family!

"Ping'er! Come sit by Auntie." The Third Wife, with her delicate mind, took the lead in greeting her, letting Mo Mo Fengwu come to her side.

"Thank you, Third Aunt!"

Mo Mo Fengwu said gently and gracefully, then walked to the Third Wife and sat down in a touching manner.

"Ping'er, don't always stay in the room. That will stifle a person to death; it's better to come out and walk around more!"

Clearly, Master Qin felt great pity for Mo Mo Fengwu, and his tone was very gentle.

"Thank you, Uncle, Ping'er understands!" Mo Mo Fengwu still did not raise her head, looking submissive.

"Cough!"

Seeing this, Master Qin sighed lightly.

Master Qin was also very helpless that this niece would always agree submissively every time, but would continue to do the same thing after returning. But then he remembered the important business and pointed at Han Li to introduce him to Mo Mo Fengwu:

"Ping'er, let me introduce you! This is Nephew Han Li, the descendant of a senior who did a great favor for your uncle. Come and meet him! From now on, you shall address him as Cousin!"

Han Li was paying full attention to Mo Mo Fengwu's actions, and seeing this woman's body tremble slightly upon hearing the words "Han Li," he immediately knew what was going on.

After a long while, Mo Mo Fengwu slowly raised her head, revealing that beautiful face. At this moment, this extremely touching face was extremely calm, and after her apricot lips parted, a faint voice came:

"Greetings, Cousin Han!"

Mo Mo Fengwu seemed to truly not remember Han Li.

And Han Li, upon hearing the other party's greeting, seemed to be stunned by such close beauty, and after stammering for a long time, he finally managed to say the words "Greetings, Cousin."

This made the young men and women who saw this scene unable to help but giggle secretly.

Master Qin swept a cold glance over them, and the hall immediately became quiet. And Han Li was still foolishly scratching his head, looking at a loss.

The things that followed were much simpler.

Master Qin coldly announced in front of all his family members that from today on, Han Li would live in the Qin Mansion for a period of time, and during this period, he would be one of the young masters of the Qin Mansion; no one was allowed to neglect him, otherwise, they would be severely punished.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Qin Mansion began to look at Han Li with strange gazes. At this moment, it was not just the Third Wife who was guessing the true relationship between Han Li and Master Qin.

At night, Han Li lay on the bed in his bedroom without falling asleep, staring straight at the ceiling, seemingly thinking about some worries.

"Bang bang!" Two light knocks on the door came from outside, and Han Li, who hadn't fallen asleep, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

Then Han Li got up unhurriedly and opened the door.

Standing outside was a woman wearing a cloak and a hood.

As soon as this woman saw Han Li open the door, she immediately lifted the front curtain of her hood, revealing her beautiful face. It was precisely Mo Mo Fengwu, who had not acknowledged Han Li during the day.

Seeing this, Han Li silently stepped aside, and Mo Mo Fengwu walked in without the slightest hesitation.

Han Li stood at the doorway and sent out his spiritual sense, not finding anyone else nearby; it seemed Mo Mo Fengwu had been very careful when she came.

Closing the door gently, Han Li turned his head and saw Mo Mo Fengwu silently untying her cloak, revealing her full and alluring body. Then, this woman sat down at the table without ceremony and stared at Han Li expressionlessly.

Han Li sighed!

Except for the other party's appearance, he really found it hard to connect the cold, charming young woman in front of him with the gentle girl who loved medicine in his memory. It seemed that over these years, Mo Mo Fengwu must have experienced many things, otherwise, she wouldn't have changed so much that she felt like a stranger to him.

"Should I call you Junior Martial Brother Han, or should I call you Cousin Han?" After a look of indistinguishable emotion flashed in Mo Mo Fengwu's eyes, she said in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Just call me Han Li, Miss Mo Fengwu!" After Han Li calmed his mind, he said slowly.

Upon hearing Han Li say this, a look of disappointment that was hard to detect appeared on Mo Mo Fengwu's face, but then her expression softened as she said:

"I don't know why Young Master Han, as a cultivator, would appear in the Qin Mansion, nor do I want to inquire about the secrets within! I came here just to beg you, for the sake of the teacher-student relationship you once had with my father, to help me kill an enemy, okay?"

After saying this, Mo Mo Fengwu could no longer maintain her cold expression, and she looked at Han Li with some nervousness, fearing that he would refuse outright.

Han Li's expression remained as usual, neither immediately refusing nor immediately agreeing. Instead, he picked up the pot of fragrant tea that had just been brewed on the table, silently poured a cup for Mo Mo Fengwu, and then slowly said something that startled the woman.

"Are you planning to have me kill the Sect Master of the Five-Color Sect?" Han Li said slowly after sitting opposite Mo Mo Fengwu, looking at the other party's surprised jade face without haste.

Mo Mo Fengwu's surprise quickly disappeared.

Her gaze looked at Han Li somewhat strangely, and after a long time, she said with some bitterness:

"It seems Junior Martial Brother Han already knows about the Mo Mansion? It really is true that nothing can be hidden from the eyes and ears of you cultivators!"

Although Mo Mo Fengwu said these two sentences very lightly, Han Li still heard a hidden resentment within them, and this resentment was actually directed at him!

Han Li pondered for a moment and understood why the other party was like this.

So he chuckled and explained:

"It seems Miss Mo Fengwu has misunderstood! No matter what, I still have some history with the Mo Mansion. If I had truly known that the Mo Mansion was in such great trouble, other things aside, but letting the few mistresses escape safely to enjoy their later years, Han Li could still have done that." When Han Li finished saying this, his expression had become extremely sincere.

He wasn't afraid of Mo Mo Fengwu holding a grudge against him, but Han Li wouldn't take the blame for something he didn't do for no reason.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Mo Mo Fengwu just said "Hmm," and her face returned to its cold expression. It was unknown whether she truly believed his explanation just now.

Seeing this, Han Li frowned, and after hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to tell her the truth. Originally, because it involved the cultivation world, he hadn't wanted to tell her.

"Actually, the process of what happened to the Mo Mansion was told to me by that girl Mo Caihuan. Together with her was the Fourth Mistress."

"What? You say Mo Caihuan and Fourth Mistress are still alive!" After hearing this, Mo Mo Fengwu became uncontrollably excited, and two spots of excited red even rose on her fair face.

"Of course they are alive, they are currently living in a very secret place, and they are doing quite well!" Han Li said softly.

In fact, after he escaped from Yan Ling Castle, he had once entrusted someone to inquire about the situation of ordinary people after the Yan family abandoned the castle.

The result was that the entire castle was empty, and those mortals had taken advantage of the chaos to flee Yan Ling Castle. And Mo Mo Caihuan and her mother had disappeared without a trace."
