I'm Not Tang San

As Lin Mo left Lin Haosheng's residence, his mind was still buzzing. The turn of events had come too quickly, and the surprise had been too overwhelming.

Lin Haosheng's parting words still echoed in Lin Mo's ears.

"From now on, I will be your protector. While I'm still alive, I'll safeguard the bloodline of the Lin family."

Holding Qian Renxue's hand, Lin Mo silently walked back without saying a word.

"Lin Mo."

Qian Renxue called out to him. Lin Mo raised his head and looked at her in confusion.

"What is it?"

"Congratulations. You found family again."

Qian Renxue smiled, but her smile was somewhat forced, as though she were nervous.

Lin Mo... will he stop living at the Enshrinement Hall from now on? Won't the two of us have to separate?

At a glance, Lin Mo understood what was troubling the girl. Smiling, he rubbed Qian Renxue's head.

But this time, Qian Renxue did not resist. She merely lowered her head slightly and accepted Lin Mo's caress.

"I'll still be living at the Enshrinement Hall from now on."

The moment Qian Renxue heard that, delight flooded her face. She looked up and met Lin Mo's teasing gaze, her cheeks flushing faintly.

"Oh."

Qian Renxue gave a quiet response and said nothing more. The two of them maintained that faint ambiguity in the air as they silently continued outward.

"Get whoever's in charge out here! And have those guards from yesterday get their asses out here too!"

"I am Holy Maiden Bibi Dong!"

"My apologies, but regardless of who you are, you have no authority to enter the military camp!"

"This is the Angel Legion. We answer directly to the Enshrinement Hall. Without a token from the Enshrinement Hall, none of you are getting in!"

Noisy shouting erupted at the entrance to the military camp. Lin Mo even heard the title "Holy Maiden" among it all, and his brow furrowed.

"Is that Mom?"

Qian Renxue tugged on Lin Mo's hand, unable to hide the delight on her face.

Lin Mo nodded slightly.

"It should be."

But Lin Mo could not shake the feeling that something was wrong. Why would Bibi Dong come to the Angel Legion for no reason?

And she seemed to have gotten into a dispute with the guards.

Still, no matter what, they should go over and take a look first.

"Come on. Let's go see."

Lin Mo took Qian Renxue's hand and continued forward.

At that moment, Bibi Dong stood at the entrance to the military camp, glaring murderously at the guards. Behind her stood the silent Yu Xiaogang.

Well, Yu Xiaogang currently looked exactly like some new breed of mummy.

Only one eye was exposed. Anyone who saw him might have thought some top Peace Elite player had shown up.

Two soldiers stood to Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang's left and right, stubbornly refusing to let them enter the camp.

Upon hearing the commotion, a covert sentry squad arrived before Lin Mo and the others did, coming to Bibi Dong's side.

The captain leading them clearly possessed considerable rank and authority.

He looked at Bibi Dong and frowned slightly.

When the two gate guards saw the captain arrive, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. One of them slowly approached the captain and leaned close to quietly explain what had happened.

The captain nodded slightly. He had roughly grasped the situation and looked toward Bibi Dong.

"Holy Maiden, we answer directly to the Enshrinement Hall. Without a token from the Enshrinement Hall, no one has the right to enter."

"However, since you have a request, you may tell me. I can relay it to my superior."

Bibi Dong was truly furious now. She had not expected that, as the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, she could not even enter the Angel Legion's gates.

And her old lover Yu Xiaogang was watching from behind her. She had promised to stand up for him, yet she could not even get through the gate. Where was she supposed to put her pride?

"Forget it, Dong'er. Let's go back."

Yu Xiaogang was certainly unwilling to leave, but at this moment, he had to retreat in order to advance, adding another spark to Bibi Dong's raging anger.

Sure enough, the instant Bibi Dong heard Yu Xiaogang's words, her expression darkened. Her gaze at the captain filled with cold killing intent.

"I'm warning you! Don't fail to appreciate my kindness!"

"I don't care who you answer to. Bring out those guards from the south gate last night immediately, or I'll tear down your Angel Legion!"

"He dared to injure my... our Spirit Hall's... people!"

As Bibi Dong said this, she paused briefly, thought for a moment, and changed her wording. After all, she could not openly reveal the matter between herself and Yu Xiaogang.

The captain at the head of the group frowned. If that was really the case, then it was indeed their fault, but it did not seem quite right.

Though suddenly doubtful, he still did not say much.

"I'll report this to my superior right away."

He turned and left to report to his superior.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo and Qian Renxue had already arrived near the entrance to the military camp. Lin Mo pulled Qian Renxue into the grass to watch the show.

Seeing the scene before him, Lin Mo was utterly dumbfounded. Bibi Dong had brought a mummy to the military camp entrance to demand an explanation.

It seemed the guards at the gate had beaten up that mummy.

Could this mummy be Yu Xiaogang?

Lin Mo found that guess quite plausible. After all, in this world, aside from Yu Xiaogang and the later Hu Liena, who else could make Bibi Dong bring them here to demand an explanation?

"Mom!"

Qian Renxue could not help calling out. Lin Mo let out a faint sigh, thinking that they would definitely be exposed now. There would be no more show to watch.

Hearing that cry of "Mom," Bibi Dong's entire body suddenly stiffened. A trace of tenderness appeared in her eyes, only to be replaced by hatred a moment later.

Following the source of the voice, she saw Lin Mo leading Qian Renxue out from beneath the shade of a nearby tree.

Qian Renxue broke free of Lin Mo's hand and jogged over to Bibi Dong.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Lin Mo let out a soft sigh, shook his head, and followed after her. He stood slightly ahead and to Qian Renxue's right, subtly separating her from Bibi Dong.

"Your Highness the Saintess, why are you here?"

Lin Mo spoke slowly. More of his attention was on the mummy behind Bibi Dong, and his eyes held a hint of scrutiny.

"Lin Mo, why did you bring Qian Renxue here!"

As if afraid that something had been exposed, Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with alarm and anger as she could not help scolding Lin Mo.

Lin Mo frowned but said nothing. Instead, he gave Yu Xiaogang, who looked like a mummy, a meaningful look.

"And this is?"

Yu Xiaogang was extremely excited inside. He knew the names of Spirit Hall's two geniuses: Lin Mo and Qian Renxue.

Now that the two little ones were standing before him, how could he let such a fine opportunity slip away?

Yu Xiaogang suddenly straightened his back and spoke with confidence.

"Hello, my name is Yu Xiaogang. I am a master of martial soul theory."

"You two have excellent talent, but without my guidance, your talent will only go to waste."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang, wrapped up like a mummy, still boasting about his martial soul theories, the corner of Lin Mo's mouth could not help twitching.

You really take me for Tang San, that easily fooled guy? I'm not Tang San.
