Chapter 462 - 453: Returning Fully Loaded
A pill was pushed into Mo Shang’s mouth by Cheng Xiaoxiao.
The person who suddenly erupted was forcibly pressed back down.
The bloody and cruel scene gradually faded, and the mind dominated by emotions suddenly cleared.
The blurred figure in his eyes slowly came into focus.
With a graceful and decisive movement technique, a palm strike knocked one person unconscious.
The scene of chaos was finally brought under control.
Everyone has their secrets, hidden in the darkest corners of their hearts.
Now, as they lose control one by one, the secrets are vividly displayed.
Who knows if, upon waking, they will remember what they said or did.
Will they be too ashamed to face anyone?
She’s in the same boat; past events are hard to revisit, so she pretends not to know either.
After controlling the frenzied crowd, Cheng Xiaoxiao returned to Senior Brother Mo Shang’s side.
"Let me check if the wound has split open."
His face was pale, looking very uncomfortable, likely due to the wound splitting open and getting infected.
Her outstretched fair hand was suddenly gripped by a large hand with clear joints.
"Who exactly are you? What is your purpose?" Mo Shang’s hoarse voice asked.
His gaze was introverted, filled with confusion and uncertainty.
The other party had rescued people time and again, always showing goodwill, making him unsure of his suspicions.
He wanted to give her a chance to explain, and give himself a chance.
A chance to prove that he was wrong.
He didn’t want to think of human nature as so evil, but too many devils in human skin in the world can give you a fatal blow without you noticing.
The actions of the other party were not like a spy at all.
For instance, the two times they encountered an Illusion Array, neither the elders nor the Peak Master in the sect could handle them.
The most discordant thing was her age.
Seventeen might not be her real age; by appearance, she seemed barely of age.
Even if the Tianyuan Sect exhausted all its resources, the Sect Leader could not have trained his grandchild to be so outstanding.
She was clever and strategic, extraordinarily talented, and highly capable.
A prodigy like her would deserve any high-ranking person’s full support. How could she be willing to be just a pawn?
He didn’t believe someone would hire such a talented person just to get rid of him.
He wasn’t worth such a cost.
Moreover, she had also saved other teams, and from the simple descriptions, one could see how she turned the tides and saved more lives.
The extraordinary abilities she displayed far exceeded those of his fellow disciples in Yanxia Peak. How could she just be a minor Registered Disciple?
Following this line of thought, he became more certain of his suspicions.
Only now, her identity became even more mysterious.
Cheng Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, intending to brush it off, but faced with Senior Brother’s eager and expectant eyes, along with his pale face and blood-red lips.
The lie could no longer be spoken.
She always felt more pity and leniency towards good-looking people.
Since he was suspicious and wouldn’t rest until he understood, always guarding against her along the way.
Since it had come to this, there was no need to hide it.
She had no intention of harming them; she was doing good, trying to help them complete their hunting mission and ensure everyone’s survival. Why be so secretive and make things difficult?
So she might as well come clean!
"Since Senior Brother says so... hehe, I’ll still call you Senior Brother, I’ve gotten used to it these days."
Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled teasingly.
She settled down beside Mo Shang.
She began to recount her origins...
Of course, there were many things she couldn’t reveal truthfully. Having done many missions, she had her own story to tell.
She conveyed the mission of saving Phoenix City.
As an Envoy, she wandered the world, building good karma, and making like-minded friends to jointly guard this small world and change its doomed fate.
At first, Mo Shang didn’t believe, but later she demonstrated her special abilities and tools, making him have to believe.
"So you are not from Donglie Country."
"Of course not."
"As an Envoy, my tasks are arduous. I accidentally ended up here and unexpectedly joined your team.
Helping you gather Immortal Condensing Grass, should help you solve the plague in the city. I wouldn’t have shown up otherwise, as there are still countless afflicted people waiting for an Envoy’s rescue. Time is life, extremely precious. If it can’t be resolved, I’ll need to step in myself..."
Cheng Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment. She indeed needed to return to the city soon; she had been delayed too long this time, growing increasingly anxious.
With Mo Shang secretly covering for her, perhaps this mission could be solved more quickly and simply.
