Chapter 705: Could this possibly be fake?

~7 min read 1,298 words

"He's adapted quite well," A Biao answered preemptively. "He's like a fish in water, walking on flat ground..."

Before he could finish, he was secretly kicked by Fengwu.

What "fish in water"? Was he saying their boss was having a grand time outside behind his fiancée's back, so happy that he didn't even want to return?

"Heh..." Yue Moli chuckled, her true thoughts impossible to fathom. "Since you have already arrived at Wuji Island, continue to stay by his side."

"We want to follow the boss, but we don't know where he went," Fengwu said, conflicted.

"He is currently at the Azure Wolf Hall," Yue Moli said.

"What? The... Azure Wolf Hall?" Fengwu and the others were shocked.

Even though they had never been to Wuji Island, they knew the fearsome reputation of the Azure Wolf Hall.

The level of terror this organization inspired was on par with Yue Moli's Dark Empire.

Sending them to the Azure Wolf Hall to find their boss wasn't that just sending them to their deaths?

But since their boss was at the Azure Wolf Hall, even if they didn't want to go, they had no choice but to bite the bullet.

After all, they had been forcibly brought to Wuji Island by Yue Moli's people; they were strangers in a strange land, and returning would be even harder than ascending to heaven.

Since their boss was here, they might as well go and seek refuge with him.

It was just that, why did their boss end up in such a brutal place?

Could he have been captured and taken there too?

Thinking of this possibility, the expressions on the faces of the bounty hunters turned grave.

But regardless, their lives had been saved by their boss in the first place, so even if they had to climb a mountain of blades or descend into a sea of fire, they would follow Xu Tian forever and never waver.

"Then can we leave now?" A Biao asked tremblingly.

Yue Moli waved her hand.

"Thank you, Queen!" The bounty hunters felt as if they had been granted amnesty.

"Wait." Just as they were walking out, Yue Moli spoke up suddenly.

"Are there any other instructions?" A Biao and the others grew nervous again.

"Take her with you too." Yue Moli's gaze fell on Chen Xiaoxiao on the other side.

Chen Xiaoxiao:?

She had originally thought she would be tortured and interrogated severely by this female devil.

"You got it!" A Biao and Fengwu grabbed Chen Xiaoxiao without a word and dragged her outside, disappearing in a flash.

After these people left, the hall returned to a brief silence.

Mu Ting looked at Yue Moli with some concern.

"My Lady, why didn't you tell them directly that the real Young Master Mufeng of the Yun family is at the Azure Wolf Hall?"

"Now that Young Master Mufeng has no memory of his own, there are too many uncertain factors while he is alone outside, and he could even be in mortal danger..."

"He is not suited to return to the Yun family right now," Yue Moli said. "He has no memories of the past; even if he returned to the Yun family, he wouldn't be able to adapt. Whether he can recover his original memories or not, he must rely on his own efforts to gain a foothold on Wuji Island."

"And..." Yue Moli paused, a hint of obscure emotion appearing in her eyes. "I once promised to keep his secret. The fact that Ding Yi is Yun Mufeng is something only I know. If I were to notify the Yun family, I would have to reveal this secret. Unless absolutely necessary, I do not want to break my agreement with him."

"Besides, the Azure Wolf Hall was the force he founded single-handedly under the alias Ding Yi. Letting him stay there now is not exactly impersonation."

"My Lady, your considerations are indeed thorough and far-sighted," Mu Ting realized. "The relationships between the three great families are intricate and complex. As the ruler of the Yue family, it is indeed inconvenient for you to intervene in the Yun family's domestic affairs."

"And, by letting those bounty hunters go just now, you were actually trying to recruit a few more helpers for Young Master Mufeng, right?"

"Hmm, these people are fairly reliable. Since they are people he trusts, it will be convenient for him to use them."

"Also... there is one more thing..." Mu Ting suddenly became hesitant.

"Speak." Yue Moli raised her eyes slightly, a trace of displeasure appearing in her amber eyes.

"Yes!" Mu Ting lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "I also investigated that when Young Master Mufeng was in Huaxia, he had an ambiguous relationship with the head of the Tang family. The reason Young Master Mufeng returned to Wuji Island this time is also because that woman suddenly went missing, and he came here to find her."

"Who is that woman?" Yue Moli's tone changed abruptly, and at the same time, a chilling aura emanated from her body.

"Her name is Tang Bingyan."

"Tang Bingyan?" Yue Moli frowned slightly, as if thinking hard.

She seemed to have never heard this name before.

"Does the Tang family have such a person?" She tilted her head slightly to look at Mu Ting.

Mu Ting was surprised: "My Lady, this surname is very common in Huaxia. That Huaxia woman shouldn't be related to the Tang clan on Wuji Island, right?"

"However..."

Just as Yue Moli began to speak, a guard at the door suddenly entered to report.

"Reporting to My Lady, Yun Shuying has arrived."

"Yun Shuying?" Yue Moli curled her lips slightly. "What is she here for?"

No sooner had she spoken than Yun Shuying walked in, familiar with the place.

"Miss Yun, long time no see." Yue Moli composed herself.

"Sister-in-law, you're still calling me Miss Yun? That's too formal." Yun Shuying didn't stand on ceremony at all; she sat directly in an empty seat in the hall and even picked up the teapot nearby to pour herself a cup of tea.

"Miss Yun, then what is the matter that brings you to me?" Yue Moli's form of address remained unchanged; she also picked up the teacup beside her, her fingertips nonchalantly tracing the edge of the porcelain.

"My foolish younger brother has returned, why aren't you excited at all?" Yun Shuying drank a cup of tea in one breath, her tone quite resentful. "You are his fiancée; it's a bit unreasonable not to go to the Yun family to see him, isn't it?"

"Or is it..." Yun Shuying's tone paused, a sharp light flashing in her eyes. "During the time my brother was missing, you couldn't bear the loneliness, so you planned to dump him and be with another man?"

This sentence was extremely impolite. If it had been anyone else speaking to Yue Moli with this attitude, they would likely have been decapitated by now.

But Yue Moli only raised her eyes slightly, swept a cold glance at Yun Shuying, and her tone remained without any ripples.

"Miss Yun, do you really think the person currently in your home is Mufeng?"

"What, could this possibly be fake?" Yun Shuying scratched her head. "Although I was suspicious, even the genetic testing was done; this DNA can't be faked, right?"

She had actually investigated it, but there was no evidence to prove that the Yun Mufeng at home was a fake.

"Wait..." Yun Shuying realized belatedly, narrowing her eyes to size up Yue Moli. "You asking me this, did you discover something?"

"No, I was just asking casually." Yue Moli feigned ignorance. "You are his sister; if you didn't find any flaws, how would I have noticed anything?" ===== CHAPTER 706 =====
