Axi nodded generously, stating everything he had investigated: "Other than what is already known, nothing else has been uncovered."
These simple words caused Si Jianye to raise an eyebrow.
Feng Ninghe's abilities were certainly not without cause.
He did not believe that a mere valley master of a medicine valley could possess such capability and have such an outstanding disciple.
Si Jianye extended his well-defined fingers, gently stroking his chin, and leisurely uttered a sentence: "How do you think she treats Xin Xin?"
Axi's eyes darted around in their sockets. After a moment of thought, he nodded: "This eldest daughter of the Feng family truly treats Xin Xin well. More importantly, she treats her so well without knowing Xin Xin's true identity, which is truly rare."
The women who usually interacted with Si Xin Xin were all after her background, each wanting to get close to Si Jianye through Si Xin Xin.
Si Jianye fell silent, his eyes slightly lowered, countless ripples dancing in his gaze.
In a luxuriously decorated inn.
"Elder Mo, there is a bottle of medicine and a note left outside the door."
As he finished speaking, the guard respectfully handed over the items.
The note was scrawled with a line of text: If Elder Mo goes back on his word and sends the First Prince to the Immortal Sect, you will not see any more medicine in the future.
The simple words that met his eyes instantly changed Mo Zisang's expression.
He tightly gripped the porcelain bottle and grumbled, "Dare to threaten me?"
The previous medicine only had a validity of three days.
After three days, his body would return to its original state.
Sensing Mo Zisang's displeasure, the guard hurriedly said, "I have secretly dispatched more men. If this person dares to appear again, Ding Dang will capture him alive!"
Mo Zisang's mood improved slightly. He casually handed the medicine to the guard beside him: "Go and check the ingredients of this medicine."
Last time, he was too focused on taking the medicine and testing its efficacy. This time, he was determined to thoroughly investigate the medicinal components.
The guard dared not delay. After agreeing, he quickly departed.
At this moment, a maidservant rushed over: "Elder Mo, a young lady claiming to be the third daughter of the Feng family requests an audience."
Upon hearing that it was Feng Tongtong, Mo Zisang raised his sword-like eyebrows and waved to the maidservant: "Announce her."
Soon, Feng Tongtong arrived before Mo Zisang.
"Greetings, Elder Mo."
She spoke respectfully, raising her eyes to meet Mo Zisang's gaze.
Coincidentally, Mo Zisang was also appraising her.
Before him, Feng Tongtong was exquisitely made up, adorned in a luxurious gown, her hair adorned with golden hairpins, exuding an air of opulence.
Mo Zisang calmly withdrew his gaze and said unhurriedly, "Third Miss, your countenance is radiant. It seems a happy occasion is imminent. Before long, I shall have to address you as Imperial Consort."
Mentioning the position of Imperial Consort, Feng Tongtong's face involuntarily showed a hint of pride, her lips curving slightly: "Elder Mo is too kind. Today, I am here regarding Feng Ninghe."
Mo Zisang picked up his teacup and took a sip, then looked up at her: "Speaking of Feng Ninghe, there is something I wish to ask you. What is her connection to the master of the Willow Face Pavilion?"
This question, he had also asked Baili Ye.
He did not believe that Feng Ninghe and Su Hongxiu had no connection whatsoever.
Otherwise, why would Su Hongxiu intervene?
Feng Tongtong's eyelids flickered, a trace of surprise appearing in her eyes: "Elder Mo, why do you ask that?"
Mo Zisang did not hesitate and directly stated his thoughts: "If it weren't for the Sixth Master's intervention, I would have already had Feng Ninghe in my grasp."
In one sentence, he also revealed the reason why he had not dealt with Feng Ninghe.
"The master of the Willow Face Pavilion intervened in this matter for the sake of a Feng Ninghe?"
Feng Tongtong's expression subtly shifted.
She had originally thought Feng Ninghe was merely putting on a show and that this woman had no significant connection with the Sixth Master.
After all, even if Feng Guangyao himself appeared, he might not be able to get the Sixth Master to intervene.
But Mo Zisang's words now overturned Feng Tongtong's previous assumptions.
Mo Zisang nodded generously, turning his gaze to her: "That's right. The Sixth Master intervened for her, which was truly beyond my expectation. So I want to know what kind of relationship exists between them?"
If it weren't for Su Hongxiu's presence, which made him wary and hesitant to act rashly, he would have already taught Feng Ninghe a harsh lesson.
Feng Tongtong pondered for a moment, then finally shook her head: "I don't know what their relationship is. Last time, at the First Prince's birthday banquet, the Sixth Master acknowledged Feng Ninghe as his friend. Perhaps their relationship is only that."
She certainly did not want Feng Ninghe to get close to the Sixth Master.
The Willow Face Pavilion caused major families and powerful figures in the Li Kingdom to curry favor with it. Even she herself had not managed to exchange many words with the Sixth Master. What kind of relationship could this lowly woman have with him?
Mo Zisang put down his teacup and changed the subject: "This Sixth Master is not simple. Last time he helped Feng Ninghe, I don't want to offend him because of Feng Ninghe. Even if I make a move, it must be when she is unprepared."
He had not abandoned his desire to obtain Feng Ninghe.
But with the Sixth Master present, it was inconvenient to act.
"Elder Mo, you are an Enforcement Elder of the Immortal Sect. In Jinling, a mere Sixth Master should not make you so apprehensive, should it?" Feng Tongtong's words carried a hint of probing.
The Li Kingdom was far from comparable to Jinling.
Those who were high and mighty in the Li Kingdom would become insignificant in Jinling or other continents.
Mo Zisang smiled it away, looking at Feng Tongtong with a hint of disdain: "You should first investigate the Sixth Master's identity before saying that. Let alone me, even your second sister would have to be polite when meeting this Sixth Master. If you dare to offend him, the entire Feng family might not be enough to atone."
He did not directly reveal the Sixth Master's identity.
Feng Tongtong frowned tightly, biting her lip: "Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch Feng Ninghe swagger around in front of me smugly? Elder Mo, can you truly bear to part with such a beauty?"
Without a doubt, Mo Zisang was unwilling to miss such a beautiful woman.
Every time he thought of Feng Ninghe's delicate and charming face, he could not wait to hold her in his arms and dote on her fiercely.
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Mo Zisang's eyes. He grumbled, "Naturally, I am unwilling. To deal with her, one cannot be too hasty. Even if I make a move, it must not be discovered. I will handle this matter myself."
What was even more critical was that even if he had a way to get his hands on the beauty.
His current unreliable body might not be of much use.
Even if he wanted to make a move against Feng Ninghe, it would not be now.
Having received the desired answer, Feng Tongtong finally felt a little relieved. She waved her hand and took out two spirit herbs from her spatial pouch: "Elder Mo, this is a token of my regard. This herb, when taken by men, will strengthen their bodies. I heard you have a fondness for beautiful women, and I hope these herbs will be of use."
Upon hearing that it could strengthen the body, Mo Zisang's interest was immediately piqued. He quickly accepted the herbs and said softly, "Third Miss, you are too kind. I will certainly present you with a wedding gift on your wedding day."
After all, he was an Enforcement Elder of the Immortal Sect.
His presence at the wedding banquet would be considered giving Feng Tongtong face.
