Faced with Ji Nanshu's anger, Chu Mo remained strangely silent for a moment before asking, "Is it really necessary to beat him up?"
"You absolutely have to beat them up!"
Otherwise, the fire won't go out!
"Let's go, back to the Imperial Capital right now!"
What could Chu Mo do? He could only cover for it.
Two hours later, at 11 p. m., at the Xia Family villa.
Ji Nanshu looked at the villa before him and sneered. Xia Tao had certainly found himself a place with excellent feng shui. He wondered if he'd even live to enjoy it!
The doorbell rang repeatedly. A few minutes later, a man stood at the other end of the door, presumably the housekeeper, dressed in pajamas, yawning and asking, "Who are you looking for?"
Xia Hong.
"The head of the family has already gone to bed. Please come again tomorrow."
He turned to leave after saying that, but as soon as he turned around, he heard a loud bang behind him.
Chu Mo looked up at the sky. "..."
There was no time to stop it! Oh well, as long as his little darling is happy, well, as long as he's happy.
It's just beating up Xia Hong, it's not like I'm going to kill him, it's okay, it's alright. (T▽T)
The steward was dumbfounded. Had they encountered bandits? They were robbing the Xia Family right on their own turf!
Who are you?! Do you even know where you are?!
Ji Nanshu picked his ear. "I wouldn't have come if it weren't for Xia Hong's house! Don't get in the way!"
After saying that Chu Mo chopped the butler unconscious with a single chop.
Ji Nanshu happily kissed Chu Mo on the lips, humming, "A-Mo is so sensible!"
Chu Mo touched his lips, a slight smile playing on his lips. Hmm, this trip wasn't a complete loss. Maybe... he could even push his luck a little further...
At this moment, Ji Nanshu had no idea what price he would have to pay for this beating!
The bodyguards who suddenly appeared from somewhere in the villa were quickly dealt with by Chu Mo, who was standing nearby. Ji Nanshu entered the villa's living room without any hindrance.
You said Xia Hong isn't a member of the Blood God Cult? Doesn't he do anything shady?
He certainly wouldn't dare. What if he used some underhanded methods to pollute this auspicious place with excellent feng shui and ruined their fortune?
Xia Hong naturally knew that Ji Nanshu had made such a big commotion entering the villa, but he had no idea that he was about to be beaten up.
" Nanshu, what's wrong with you coming over so late at night?" Xia Hong, dressed in pajamas, smiled kindly as if she were talking to children playing around. One wonders if she could remain so calm when she's actually getting a beating.
Ji Nanshu tilted his head, looking innocent and adorable, but his words were less than friendly. He said, "Well, something came up. My hands were itching to do something, so I came to you to help me out."
What?
Xia Hong even doubted if she had misheard. "Itchy hands?" What did that mean?!
Ji Nanshu didn't give Xia Hong a chance to react at all, and swung his arm to give Xia Hong a loud thud.
You actually hit me?!
Xia Hong covered his face, probably because he didn't expect Ji Nanshu to dare slap him. His expression was just like that of a son who had been slapped by his father, incredulous, anxious and angry.
Ji Nanshu, too lazy to waste words with Xia Hong Xia Hong, pounced on him, pinned Xia Hong to the ground, and began to beat him mercilessly, yelling as he did so, "What's wrong with me hitting you? Can't I, the Imperial Preceptor, hit a remnant of the Blood God Cult like you?"
" Xia Tao, do you think that just because you used the reincarnation technique, this master won't recognize you? A despicable bug that everyone hates has now transformed into a successful businessman, and you think you can sit on equal footing with this master?!"
"You dare poison my second brother? I'll teach you to poison me! I'll teach you to poison me!"
"You filthy rat who's done so many bad things, you should stay in the gutter forever, never to see the light of day!"
Xia Hong was beaten by Ji Nanshu for more than half an hour, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and only then did Ji Nanshu feel relieved.
Chu Mo said, "Yes, my little darling is much more lively than when he was in the Qiang Kingdom. That's great."
Xia Hong, who was beaten to a pulp: Lively?! Are you sure this is just liveliness and not madness?!
After getting up, Ji Nanshu kicked Xia Hong: "Get up! Don't play dead in front of me."
Xia Hong then stood up shakily, his eyes filled with resentment. "You're still alive!!"
Ji Nanshu sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, turned to look at Chu Mo, and began to whine, " A-Mo, my neck hurts."
Chu Mo understood immediately and kicked Xia Hong in the back of the knee, causing Xia Hong to kneel down in front of Ji Nanshu.
"You!!"
"What do you mean, 'you'?! Xia Tao, listen to me carefully: from now on, if anything happens to my family, even if he got poisoned from eating mushrooms today, I'll hold it all your fault! I'll come find you one last time, so don't even think about running away. You can run to the ends of the earth, but I'll find you!"
"My teacher is young, rich, and has plenty of energy to play along with you. I just don't know if your old bones can withstand this kind of torment."
As he spoke, Ji Nanshu patted Xia Hong's face in a threatening manner.
"Also, if you were only targeting me, I wouldn't mind playing along since I'm fine. But you shouldn't have laid your hands on the people around me. Alright, I've vented enough for today, so I'll let you off the hook for now."
" A-Mo, let's go."
Xia Hong —or rather, Xia Tao —hadn't even come to his senses when he saw the two of them walk away hand in hand.
Xia Tao struggled to her feet, supporting herself on the sofa. Perhaps she was too angry, because she turned around and overturned everything on the coffee table to the floor.
Ji Nanshu!! He'll remember this humiliation! He'll make sure he dies a horrible death one day!!
Ji Nanshu shrugged: Come on! Who's afraid of who!
As the two left the Xia residence, Ji Nanshu nudged Chu Mo's arm. "I'm tired. I don't want to walk."
Chu Mo shook his head with amusement, then squatted down with his back to Ji Nanshu: "Come on up."
I wonder who was the person who just beat Xia Tao up so arrogantly.
Ji Nanshu rested her head on Chu Mo's shoulder. " A-Mo, why can't I remember where I saw you in my past life?"
Chu Mo: "Then you'd better remember quickly."
"I've been thinking about a question: when I woke up in this body, what about the memories of 'myself' from my previous life in this world...? I have a rather bold guess: perhaps, the 'me' in my previous life was also me, but I just didn't wake up from this body... As for the reason, you'll probably tell me when I remember?"
Chu Mo chuckled softly, "My dear, do you remember what you told me before you went to Yangshui Village?"
At this point, Ji Nanshu seemed to want to run away. He stammered, "I... I remember..."
God knows why he said that, maybe he was just being a liar or something... It should be alright, right?
Chu Mo: "Sweetie, you can't go back on your word. I've already had the things delivered to Qingyan Garden."
You predicted his prediction, didn't you?!
Hmph! How could our esteemed teacher possibly renege on his promise!
