Hidden Shadow – CH 172

Chapter One-Hundred-Seventy-Two: Unwavering Vow

After taking the medicine, Lou Mingyue used her internal energy to rapidly circulate its power through her blood vessels.

The little tiger gradually lost its tracking scent and, as if disoriented, aimlessly wandered around Lou Mingyue’s feet.

Mo Sigui squatted down and patted the ground three times.

The little tiger scurried over, and Mo Sigui took out a small bottle, poured out something resembling a silkworm pupa, and fed it to the tiger. The little tiger snatched it in one bite and wolfed it down, then looked up at him again.

Mo Sigui put away the bottle, picked up the pupa, and vigorously crushed it, saying disdainfully, “Fatty!”

Seeing that the medicine was indeed effective, Lou Mingyue turned and left.

“Divine physician, the person is already gone,” Sheng Changying reminded him.

Mo Sigui finally looked up, sighed, and put the little tiger with its ruffled fur on the ground, nudging it. “Xiao Yu, go play with Da Jiu.

That’s the wife my family arranged for me,” Mo Sigui introduced Lou Mingyue, “but she does not want to talk to me now.”

Lou Mingyue, who had just entered the house, felt a jolt. This was the first time since their reunion that Mo Sigui was so certain of her identity.

Her eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she murmured, “Mo Sigui, forget about this. Qiu Ningyu is dead.

Now there was only Lou Mingyue, only Lou Mingyue burdened with a blood feud. I absolutely would not allow you to accompany me to this abyss!”

Outside in the pavilion, Mo Sigui fanned himself and asked with a smile, “Brother Luzi, have you settled down?”

“Changying has not settled down,” Sheng Changying emphasized the name “Changying.” Only Xu Zhi knew his childhood name in the entire Konghe Academy; whoever leaked it was obvious! This score must be settled with him carefully when they get back.

However, Xu Zhi was not one to speak carelessly. He possessed mind-reading abilities and could discern a person’s true nature more easily than ordinary people. Since he had even told Mo Sigui such a thing, it proved that Mo Sigui was a trustworthy person.

Sheng Changying did not usually engage in long conversations, but Mo Sigui was a direct disciple of a legendary physician, and now he himself had become a physician. His information was important, and since he was currently bored, he dutifully started chatting with him, “Why does Miss Lou not pay attention to the Divine Physician?”

Mo Sigui’s fanning motion slowed down. “She’s carrying a heavy burden of hatred now; she probably does not want to implicate me! But…”

He gazed at Lou Mingyue’s room, unsure whether he was speaking to Sheng Changying or Lou Mingyue, “I, Mo Ran, will never break my vow in this life.”

“The Divine Physician is truly loyal and righteous,” Sheng Changying sighed.

Loyal and righteous? Mo Sigui did not know how much affection he still held for Lou Mingyue. He only remembered his promise to protect her for life, and his vow to Elder Qi to never betray his love.

Sheng Changying wanted to ask again, but seeing the sadness in Mo Sigui’s eyes, he fell silent.

An autumn wind suddenly rose, swirling withered leaves, filling the air with the desolation unique to this season.

Chu Dingjiang personally went to the Yu family, instructing Yu Pianfei to deliver the goods to the dock.

The others were busy preparing. After all, only about twenty people were going to storm Piaomiao Mountain Mansion. They had just left the Konghe Academy, and compared to those experienced assassins, they lacked confidence. However, even knowing it was a dead end, they had to charge forward; this was their destiny. Therefore, the more prepared they were, the greater their chances of survival.

Compared to Sui Yuntong and the others’ tension, An Jiu was much calmer. She devoted all her time to practicing her skills and putting pressure on Mo Sigui.
