"Mo Jiuli, stop right there, stop, come back to me!" Bai Xueying shouted frantically as she saw Mo Jiuli was about to leave.
However, Mo Jiuli had no intention of paying attention to her. Regarding Bai Xueying’s fate, she would not leave her any chance to live. She herself survived soul dispersal thanks to the protection from her parents. Bai Xueying, even if her parents were still around, Mo Jiuli wouldn’t give her the chance to live...
Mo Jiuli left Bai Xueying and Lingling in the space and turned around to exit. They had been in the space for less than a year, yet it was still night outside, and appearing in Bai Xueying’s guise was more convenient...
Mo Jiuli dismissed the guards nearby and soared into midair. Initially, she found nothing, until she discovered a trace of an array formation above the northwest corner of the City Lord’s Mansion...
Looking down, Mo Jiuli noticed that the courtyard below should be Bai Luotian’s study room, and this is why the treasure house was located here. Although the midair array formation was very complex, Mo Jiuli wasn’t confident enough to crack it all at once. Thus, she carefully observed the surroundings, memorizing the formation details before returning to the space to study further...
While Mo Jiuli studied the array formation, Lingling thoroughly tortured Bai Xueying to death, and intentionally feared she wouldn’t die thoroughly enough, leading Mo Jiuli to let Little Gold’s flame send Bai Xueying on her way. Bai Xueying was utterly dead, with no chance of reincarnation...
"Mother, is something wrong?" Lingling asked curiously, seeing Mo Jiuli in a daze.
"Hmm, I found the array formation above the City Lord’s Mansion treasure house very familiar!" Mo Jiuli thought for a moment and said.
"Familiar? What do you mean?" Lingling asked curiously.
"It seems very similar to the array formation my mother once left for me. However, what mother left was merely what she said was the basic-level of our grandfather’s family’s array formation, whereas this array seems to be middle-level or high-level..." Mo Jiuli explained.
"Mother, what do you mean?" Lingling asked, somewhat confused.
"The master means that this array formation is very similar to the one Mistress left for her, which suggests that the array at the City Lord’s Mansion might have been set up by someone Mistress knew!" Little book said disapprovingly, glancing at Lingling.
"Exactly. Mother mentioned before that the array was from our grandfather’s family, but now the array at the City Lord’s Mansion is very similar to what Mother left. It’s impossible that Mother formed an array for Bai Luotian unless someone from our family has an unusual relationship with Bai Luotian, which implies that Mother’s harm might have been due to a traitor within the family!" Mo Jiuli said with a frown.
She hadn’t forgotten Bai Xueying mentioning that Mother had a fiancé, so could that fiancé be someone from Mother’s family? If so, it would mean Grandpa Baili’s words that Mother is now safe might be because she was taken back by the family or that so-called fiancé...
This is why Grandpa Baili told her to rescue Father first, and could it really be the people from the grandfather’s family behind what happened to her parents?
For a moment, Mo Jiuli was unsure...
Nonetheless, she clearly decided that even if they were people from the grandfather’s family, she’d be relentless in pursuing those who harmed her parents. If her parents hadn’t suffered, she might consider sparing the real culprits, but recalling Grandpa Baili’s words about her father’s condition, Mo Jiuli knew she wouldn’t let those people go...
