Xiaodong was afraid that others would see them and cause trouble for Mrs. Yan. The attic is transparent on all sides, and the people below may be able to see them when they look up.
"Don't worry, he can't see it." Mo Chen said, "I tried it just now, and I can't see the people inside the pavilion from the outside. But I can see the situation below from above."
With such a wide opening, not to mention people, even a bird can probably see it.
Mostly it is the reason of formation.
"Then, can we see below?"
"Yes, Mr. Wan told me specifically." Mo Chen said: "The floor under the attic is a bit particular, and you can't see the top from the bottom, but if the people above are willing, they can see the bottom and hear it." What about the sound?"
I don't know why Mrs. Yan made the residence into such a structure, but now it is convenient for Mo Chen and Xiaodong.
"Then let's listen to what they have to say, isn't it okay?" Xiaodong hesitated, "I think... the fact that this person came over probably has something to do with us."
"It doesn't matter. Since Mrs. Yan let us settle here temporarily, we are not afraid of what we hear and see."
What the elder brother said is very true.
Xiaodong was shaking when he got out of bed, Mo Chen helped him up.
"what do you think?"
"Better."
The strength recovered a little, but only a little. Now he feels that the two legs are almost not his own, as if the bones inside have been pulled out, and they are limp and unable to support them.
Mo Chen helped him over.
It sounds amazing.
The white stones on the ground floor looked exactly the same at first glance, but it was only when they got closer that they realized that they were different. The four pieces spliced together in the middle, when you look down, you can really see the situation in the hall under the attic, but it's a bit unclear as if separated by a layer of veil.
Mrs. Yan invited the man to sit down, and she didn't exchange greetings, she asked straightforwardly: "Elder Ma, what's the matter, just tell me."
Although her voice was still cold and indifferent, Xiaodong seemed to be able to hear more impatience in her words.
"Since Madam said so, then I won't go around in circles. Madam really doesn't know the whereabouts of the young master?"
Mrs. Yan put her hands together and sat very upright, as upright as a clay statue. She didn't even raise her eyelids when Elder Ma asked: "He never comes to me. Elder Wu, Elder Ma, are you getting closer?"
Elder Ma coughed dryly, and his face was a little anxious: "But it seems that there are not many days left, but he ran away without a trace. How did he, a junior, know the inside story? Maybe someone told him?"
"What do you mean, don't you just want to say that I leaked the news?" Mrs. Yan finally turned her head and glanced at him.
"Not long after the former city lord passed away, the young lord disappeared, and his wife was not looking for him anxiously. I don’t know, it’s hard for me to believe it.”
"You don't believe your story. If he ran away, he ran away. If you have the ability, catch him. If you don't have the ability, don't ask me to vent your anger. I only have three words, and I don't know."
Elder Ma was so angry that he stood up with a groan. He was already in a bad mood when he came, and now it seems that he is even more frustrated.
"Madam! We only call you Madam for the sake of the city lord and the young lord. Don't even think about it. Just because you are an outsider with no backing and no foundation, how can you live a pampered life these years and enjoy these things that ordinary people dream of? Unexpected prosperity and wealth... "
"Whoever loves these riches and honors will you give them to. My husband is dead and my child's whereabouts are unknown. Now you force me to say that I have enjoyed the riches and honors you gave me for nothing? I don't want any of these external things, can you Give me back my husband and my child?"
Elder Ma snorted: "Don't think he can escape! Let me tell you, all the passages in the city have been closed now, and he must still be hiding somewhere in the city. I advise Madam, you should let him It’s good for him to come out obediently, if he has to wait for others to catch him out, then it will be ugly.”
Mrs. Yan was not moved at all: "That's what I said too. If you have the ability, you can go find it. Whether you can find it or not is your business, and I don't care."
Xiaodong's body trembled, Mo Chen held him tighter, and said softly, "Don't be afraid."
Xiaodong raised his head and glanced at him. That look was full of confusion and bewilderment.
Of course Chen Jingzhi is not Mrs. Yan's son.
But Mrs. Yan refused to admit that she was Xiaodong's mother.
Hearing these tit-for-tat words from her and Elder Ma, Xiaodong's confusion didn't increase but decreased.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Yan should be fine, she has the power to protect herself."
Xiaodong nodded blankly.
Mo Chen suspected that he didn't even listen to what he said.
Elder Ma couldn't even reason with her, she wanted to be rough and had scruples, and there happened to be a panting person rushing towards her, and when she reached the hall door, she stopped, didn't dare to step up the steps, and saluted with a look of urgency on her face He said: "Madam, Elder, the disciple has something to report."
Elder Ma finally got his anger out. He stared at the disciple viciously: "What's the matter? Who told you to come here casually and disturb Madam's peace?"
Just now he was yelling at Mrs. Yan, but now he turned his head and taught others a lesson.
Xiaodong instinctively resented this overbearing and natural way of only allowing state officials to set fires and not allowing others to light lamps.
Although he has never been in contact with these people, but after hearing about the cruelty of Elder Wu and seeing the aggressiveness of Elder Ma, Xiaodong felt that the elders in Tianjian City did not talk about their abilities, but their conduct was not good. It really makes people look down on it.
Mrs. Yan seems to have no real power in her hands, not even anyone who can use it. Elder Ma can come as soon as he says, with rude words, and the messengers come and go here. How can this be the treatment of the wife of the city lord
The messenger hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Mrs. Yan.
Elder Ma understood, walked over and whispered a few words to him. They must be using some kind of special method, and they will not make a sound at all, even if someone is standing next to them, they will not be able to hear a word.
What did they say, have to hide it from Mrs. Yan
It's not hard to guess, probably it has something to do with the "runaway young master", right
Madam Yan really didn't show any curiosity.
After listening to the messenger's words, Elder Ma's expression changed a few times, he hurriedly and carelessly waved his hands as farewell, and hurried away with the messenger disciple.
Not only was Elder Ma rude, but even the messenger disciple didn't have much respect for Mrs. Yan.
Mrs. Yan didn't seem to care about these. After Elder Ma left, Mo Chen supported Xiaodong to lie down, and then used his true energy to regulate his internal energy.
"Eldest brother, don't suffer like this, hurry up and take a rest."
Xiaodong didn't need to ask Xiaodong to know that when he was unconscious, the elder brother would definitely not rest assured that he was alone, and would not leave him at every step, watching him without blinking eyes.
Besides, it's not a good thing to lose real energy frequently, Xiaodong doesn't want to become a burden to the big brother.
Mo Chen just slid his hand over his face, making Xiaodong close his eyes: "Hold your breath, don't talk."
Madam Yan saw this when she came upstairs. Xiaodong closed his eyes, with an expression of completely undefended trust and dependence. And Mo Chen's serious and focused eyes were also noticed by Mrs. Yan.
Mo Chen let go of Xiaodong's hand, stood up and saluted: "Ma'am."
Madam Yan nodded slightly, looking at Xiaodong who opened her eyes: "Are you awake?"
Xiaodong didn't know what to say to her, and even how to address her was an embarrassment.
Madam Yan did not approach, she just stood by the screen and watched.
The pair of senior brothers in front of them are very close, maybe blood brothers are nothing more than that.
Madam Yan said to Mo Chen: "Young Master Mo, just now I got the news that a visitor from afar suddenly came to the city, and it was precisely because of this that Ma Hongwen left in a hurry."
Mo Chen was stunned, and blurted out: "Could it be that my master is here?"
Mrs. Yan nodded her head: "That's right, Mr. Mo is really smart. Just now I got the news that my master sent someone to send a letter in, saying that it was to track down the whereabouts of my apprentice. He came here many years ago, and there is another The token that Tianjian City gave to the Danyang Immortal Gate at that time may have entered the city now."
Mo Chen and Xiaodong glanced at each other.
Xiaodong is both happy and worried. It has to be said that it is a surprise that Master can find this place.
But at this time, Tianjian City is in troubled times, and maybe it will follow in the footsteps of Jiangu Valley. This kind of major event, even a cultivator cannot go against the sky. Master, this time, The danger is not small.
But there is another possibility... that is, Master didn't come to find them, but to settle accounts with Chen Jingzhi!
To trace the whereabouts of the apprentices, it is possible that the master came to find them, and it is even more likely that the master came to track down the sect's evil disciples in order to clean up the family.
Mrs. Yan said: "The teacher came at this time, neither sooner nor later. I am afraid that those who are interested will definitely think too much. They will think whether the disappearance of the young master has something to do with him, and let him go to the city just to find out. thing."
That's right.
If it were Xiaodong, he himself would think it was too coincidental. Chen Jingzhi disappeared at this time, and Master happened to come today.
Fortunately, no one has discovered their identities yet, otherwise the two of them will be involved again, and the situation will only become more complicated and more dangerous.
"No matter why Master Li came here, Tianjian City is definitely not a place to stay for a long time now. I will try my best to arrange and send you away first... If you want to meet Master Li, it will be very difficult. Once he enters the city There are countless eyes staring at him." At this moment, Mrs. Yan finally showed a little impatience: "You guys are gone, Li Zhenren has no worries, and he will leave as soon as possible. If you don't meet, you won't be attracted. Let more people pay attention." (To be continued)
