Chapter 202: The Dark Tide

Huo Xuan and the two others followed behind Mo Zhu and quickly got into the car. After everyone sat down quietly, Mo Wu started the car and drove steadily on the path again.

In the car, Xu Huan turned to look at Huo Xuan in the back seat uneasily from the front passenger seat. He said with a hint of worry, “Now, the people from the various families in Beijing must know that we were the ones who won the bid for the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. The Qian family’s people coming to look for trouble is just the beginning. I’m worried that we will encounter such unexpected situations in the future.”

After saying this, Xu Huan’s eyes dimmed as he pondered for a moment before adding, “Why don’t we hurry back to Cloud City and use the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb and Soul Returning Herb before they come looking for us? After they can’t find the spirit herb or after they obtain the news that we’ve already used the spirit herb to save them, they might stop finding trouble with us.”

When Huo Xuan heard Xu Huan’s words, he turned his head and looked out the window quietly, his dark eyes filled with a cold glint.

Seeing Huo Xuan’s indifference, Xu Huan turned to look at Mo Zhu. “Little Bamboo, if Brother Huo is ignoring me, say something. This Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb is going to be used to treat your grandmother’s illness anyway. As long as you agree to this arrangement, we’ll immediately set off to return to Cloud City.”‘

Mo Zhu thought about Xu Huan’s words carefully and felt that what he said made sense.

Now, the wealthy families in Beijing were all eyeing the spirit herb in her hand covetously. She probably could not protect such a precious herb alone. Besides that, with her current power, she could not take control of the situation herself. Also, the people hiding in the dark and waiting for the chance to attack them were probably not as familiar as Cloud City as compared to them.

Thinking about it in this way, it was indeed better to return to Cloud City immediately rather than continue staying here.

However, she had her own principles. Mo Zhu gently raised her hand and rubbed her palm. When she thought of the meeting she had agreed to with Gao Qing before she left the auction, she frowned and said, “It’s not time to go back yet. Besides, I’ve already agreed to Gao Rong’s visit to the Gao family tomorrow. I can’t break my promise.”

After saying this, Mo Zhu waved her hand to indicate to Xu Huan that there was no need to persuade her. Seeing that the girl had already made her decision, Xu Huan pinched the space between his eyebrows and turned around to look out the window.

About half an hour later, the car steadily stopped at the entrance of the Huo family’s mansion. After Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu got out of the car one after another, Mo Wu drove Xu Huan back to the Xu family.

Just as Mo Zhu reached the entrance of the mansion, her phone suddenly vibrated from her pocket. She took out her phone skillfully from her pocket and looked at the caller ID. She pursed her lips and said to Huo Xuan, who had been following closely beside her, “You go in first. I’ll take a call here first.”

After Huo Xuan’s figure disappeared from the entrance of the mansion, Mo Zhu picked up the call with a cold expression.

Just as she placed the phone on her ear, Cheng Yi’s deep voice came from the receiver.

“You know what happened at the Gao family’s auction tonight, right? Or did you watch it with your own eyes?”

After a pause, seeing that Mo Zhu did not really want to continue the conversation, he took the initiative to invite her. “Since you’re here in Beijing, why don’t we meet?”

When Mo Zhu heard this, she lowered her head and played with the zipper of her coat as she replied coldly, “There have been too many things happening these two days. It’s not convenient. Let’s talk about it next time when we have the chance.”

As if he had expected that the girl might refuse to meet him with this reason, Cheng Yi took a step back and continued, “Although it’s not convenient to meet me, you should have time to visit the Pavilion of Love, right? Ever since the headquarters of the Pavilion of Love have been set up in Beijing, you have never visited it right?”

“I’ll definitely do it when I have the chance next time.”

When Cheng Yi heard Mo Zhu’s answer, he knew what the girl was thinking. He sighed lightly. He did not know how to persuade Mo Zhu..
