Nai Man Jin’s hand that grabbed onto him had slightly loosened up a bit. His face carried an indifferent smile, but the corners of his mouth had unnaturally given away his terrible mood at the time.

“What is there to be afraid of? Even if Mo Qi’s influence was any bigger, did you think it could exceed your Emperor’s?”

“It can.” Mo Jing Yu’s heart slightly stabilized a bit, “On the very basis that the present most pampered concubine is Mo Qi’s eldest daughter.”

“Only if he wants to, he will be able to.”

Mo Jing Yu took advantage while the other person had let up to sneak out of the other person’s embrace, and stood in a place that was relatively closer to Mo Li. Only through this could he have some sense of security, “There is no harm in Khan you properly considering my proposal. You can reject me. Without me, there would be another person from the Mo family down the line, but there won’t be another person that could be more fit to choose from anymore.”

After finishing, he pulled Mo Li along, turned, and left.

Once they returned to the courtyard, the person who originally looked to have courage and a plan in that next moment sat down on the ground weak and limply. He raised his head to look at Mo Li, let out a breath, and said in a bit of a helpless manner, “A’Li, it seems that I have overestimated myself a bit.”

“That’s not a problem. You already did very good.”

A big hand stroked the soft and fine hair, and Mo Jing Yu slightly pulled back his own neck slightly. He stayed quiet for a while, then pulled at the other person’s sleeve and said, “A’Li, let’s leave here.”

“Leave right now, and then we’ll flee far, far away, and go to a place where no one would recognize us.”

At this moment, the long period of pressure had completely collapsed. At the moment he was confined by Nai Man Jin into his embrace, Mo Jing Yu only then realized his own power was as negligible as that. His mouth would always speak of running away from the Mo family to show off his high hopes and great ambitions, but finally when in face of a truly strong person, he instead could not do anything.

At the moment Mo Li scratched Nai Man Jin, he was afraid.

Afraid that if this matter was not handled properly, he would not even have Mo Li any more.

As obvious as it was that without any particularly detailed plan, they could not escape from the Mo family like this, Mo Li still lowly replied with an “Okay.”

That night, Mo Jing Yu cleared out some fragment of silvers and bank notes, ones that did not have Mo family’s marking. They didn’t even bring clothes with them and left, with Mo Li holding onto his own waist at his discretion.

At the time they were about to leave the castle gates, standing on top of the high walls and looking towards the distant span of pitch black, Mo Jing Yu took a deep breath. He tightly grabbed onto the other person’s arms, and with eyes containing some mist, “A’Li, let’s go back.”

Without a thorough plan, they could not escape from here.

“Alright.”

Mo Li did not ask Mo Jing Yu anything unnecessary. Whatever the other person commanded, he would carry out.

At the time when they just came back to the courtyard, Mo Qi sent people over to invite Mo Li to go over for a trip. When they had the person sent back, what they returned was a bloodied person who laid on top of the bed.

It was not hard to imagine- if he had not calmed down in time and come back, what would be returned to him would not be a living person.

Mo Jing Yu knew. Mo Li was even more clear on it, but the other person instead let him be wilful.

The Mo Jing Yu that had already calmed down expressionlessly took out some pain medicine, calm to the point as though nothing had ever happened. Yet that pair of hands that were cleaning off the bloodstains could not help but tremble, only grasped the wet cloth slowly not daring to extend over.

Calm down a bit…… Calm down. Just be like the usual when he would apply pain medicine for a’Li, then it would be fine.

With a deep breath in, he worked hard to have himself composed, but in the end instead fiercely threw the cloth out from his hand.

On the next day, the seemingly fine Mo Jing Yu agreed to Mo Qi’s request to accompany Nai Man Jin to walk around the castle. After seeing his languished look, the other person’s pleasure in the misfortune was very obvious, “Where is that devoted guard of yours? Why is it that I can’t see him today?”

He slightly raised his eyelids. Other than the complexion, the person looked not to be any more different than usual. However, in his eyes, one could not see the stars like those from last night, completely lifeless, “Of course it’s to help me with my worries, since he cannot always be by my side and bury his talents.”

Nai Man Jin felt this kind of Mo Jing Yu was quite dull. The little fellow from last night had made him felt a bit more interested.

“Let me think, is it possible that last night that guard of yours……”

He had not yet finished speaking, but the act of Mo Jing Yu clutching onto his lapel in the open made him surprised enough. But in the next moment, the other person’s pair of eyes that seemed to want devour people instead made him exceedingly excited.

“If you don’t want to cooperate with me, then shut your mouth for me.”

Such a relentless look, just like a wolf cub ready to attack at any time, with little protruding teeth that had not matured bore out. It was as though if the person in front would say something bad about Mo Li, he could bite off the other person’s piece of flesh.

Nai Man Jin had a bit of an urge to fill up the inside of his mouth with his hand, and stroke this person’s deciduous teeth to see whether or not it was as sharp as he thought.

It seemed he had recalled last night, he had seen this person have a cute tiger tooth.

This kind of secretive delight that had followed the strong interest quietly rose up, but Nai Man Jin put a stop to the accompanying feeling of wanting to go forward with it. He held Mo Jing Yu’s shoulder, and said in a low voice, “If you really want to cooperate, if I were you, I would definitely not have been this impulsive.”

The originally tense body had gradually loosened up, and Mo Jing Yu’s tightly gripped fist had unfolded as well, “If I did not still have my sanity, perhaps my palm would go directly greet your face.”

Nai Man Jin’s bright laughter had made his subordinates following him a bit surprised, but instead only sensibly followed behind neither fast or slow, not daring to disturb for even a bit.

“If you want to negotiate with me, just wait a while more. Wait until we’ve moved into the post station, and Mo Qi’s eyes cannot be planted by my side. As for these few days……” Nai Man Jin suddenly lifted Mo Jing Yu up, “You will properly accompany me to see this capital’s beautiful scenery.”

While holding back the urge to greet this person’s face with a fist, Mo Jing Yu could only pretend to be afraid of falling, and enclosed both hands around his neck. The more close he and the other person were, the more Mo Qi would be at ease, and would naturally not have ideas placed onto Mo Li.

This motion had made him think of the Mo Li that was still in bed unable to wake up. He recalled back when he was little, how he would like to wrap around the other person’s neck like this, and then let him fly high up with him.

This time, it was his turn to work hard and ‘fly high’ with a’Li.

When Mo Qi saw his and Nai Man Jin’s feeling progress more and more nicely, he was naturally delighted to hear and see it. He loosened up on the watch around the courtyard a bit, and even sent over some good medicine and this month’s antidote as well.

Perhaps he felt Nai Man Jin was something within reach now- that even towards the matter of the other person’s request to the Emperor to enter the post station’s house, he no longer paid as much attention to it. After probing from Mo Jing Yu that “Khan only wanted to be a bit closer to the city’s east side, so that it would be convenient to take a stroll around the market”, he no longer asked about it any further.

“Little Fishy, whether we will be able to unify the grasslands, will be up to you now.” Mo Qi seemed to have seen through his inner heart’s little idea, and the other person smiled with extreme scorn, “Tied to you are Father and the Emperor’s hopes for you. You must not make us disappointed.”

“Whether Mo Li lives or dies, will depend on whether little Fishy actually wants him to live or not.”

After a round of irritation[1], Mo Qi left Mo Jing Yu by himself in the same place standing.

Depend on him? Hah.
