Chapter 468: Night Talk Between Sisters, Have You Fallen for Him?
The five of them sitting around the campfire suddenly froze, their gazes turning icy.
Just as they were about to make a move, Li Mo spoke up, interrupting them.
“Don’t be nervous, go ahead and say it.”
The first half of the sentence was directed at Lady Ehuang and Nu Ying, while the latter half was aimed at the ~Black Shadow.
Only then did they realize the dark figure was one of the spies Li Mo had previously sent.
Although the black-clothed figure wasn’t as powerful as Da Siming and the others, the cold glint in their eyes suggested they had seen their fair share of bloodshed.
With Li Mo’s words of reassurance, the figure no longer hesitated.
It began to report the current situation of the Farmer’s Organization.
The Farmer’s Organization comprised six factions: Kuiwei Hall, Chiyou Hall, Lushan Hall, Siyue Hall, Gonggong Hall, and Shennong Hall.
Each hall’s leader had varying levels of strength.
Being a leader was not just about martial prowess; other factors also played a role.
Take the leader of Shennong Hall, for example—Zhu Family—who was known as “a thousand faces” with nobody knowing his true appearance.
However, his talent for gathering information was unparalleled, making him the most well-informed among the Farmer’s Organization.
His personal strength was only at the eighth rank, even weaker than Da Siming.
Aside from the six elders, the two strongest individuals were the brothers Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang.
The six elders took over leadership after the previous leaders retired.
Originally, their strengths were all over the place, but after a period of time, at least they all reached the ninth rank.
Among them was even a master from the Free and Unfettered Realm, who was Chen Sheng’s master, the former leader of Chiyou Hall.
Beyond the ten thousand disciples that made the Farmer’s Organization fearsome, their Earth Zhe’s Twenty-Four Great Formation was a major threat.
It was rumored that when the formation activated, it could kill a spirit.
After finishing the report on the Farmer’s Organization’s status, the spy silently withdrew, disappearing into the night like a ghostly apparition.
The way he came and went without a trace sent shivers down Da Siming and the others.
“I heard that Luo Network’s Tianren is responsible for assassination and Chiyou for intelligence; I suppose this is the Chiyou of the Luo Network?”
Nu Ying sat gracefully on a large rock, her gaze passing through the blazing fire to look at Li Mo.
They had been on the road this whole time, and there hadn’t been much chance for conversation.
The others had hardly communicated as much with Nu Ying as she did with Li Mo.
“Lady Nu Ying has a keen eye; indeed this is one of the Chiyou from the Luo Network.”
Chiyou and Wraith are not just four individuals; they are code names for a group of people.
Like phantoms, they seep into enemy lines unnoticed, or acquire necessary information without the enemy being aware.
That Tian Mi, for instance, is one of the Chiyou!
“I’m rather curious; you have the Luo Network under your control, and now even the Yin-Yang School is working for you. Aside from these, what other forces do you have?”
Nu Ying rested her elbows on her knees and propped her chin up with her hands, taking the initiative to engage in conversation.
Before Li Mo could respond, Lady Ehuang, who sat beside her, interrupted.
“The Liu Sha Organization is also serving the National Advisor; didn’t you know? Just do what Moon Goddess has instructed and stop asking so many questions.”
She seemed unwilling for Nu Ying and Li Mo to converse, trying to break the flow of their dialogue.
Nu Ying appeared a bit intimidated by her older sister, quietly retorting, “But didn’t the Moon Goddess ask us to take good care of the National Advisor on our way? I haven’t seen you doing that.”
Before she could finish, Lady Ehuang shot her a glare.
Nu Ying recoiled slightly, pouting defiantly, and fell silent.
Li Mo couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
What’s the point of being so anxious? I’m just chatting with your sister!
…Requesting flowers…
He glanced over at the black-and-white duo, who were busily adding wood to the fire, and reminded them, “No need to add more; this will last until dawn.”
Then he addressed everyone, “Just continue as usual, keep an eye on things.”
After saying that, he clapped his hands and went to the horse-drawn carriage.
As the National Advisor, he certainly couldn’t stay up all night.
Otherwise, why would he have these subordinates?
“Come with me,”
Lady Ehuang stood up right after Li Mo left.
She said to Lady Nu Ying, who was sitting on the rock.
Lady Nu Ying didn’t refuse and followed her deeper into the woods.
They walked until the glow of the fire was no longer visible before they finally stopped.
Lady Nu Ying spoke first, “Honestly, we didn’t need to walk this far; the National Advisor isn’t peeping.”
Lady Ehuang paused for a moment, puzzled, “Peeping at what?”
Lady Nu Ying looked at her quizzically, “Aren’t you the one who needed to ‘relieve yourself’?”
She thought Lady Ehuang had called her over to keep her company during that.
With a serious expression, Lady Ehuang replied, “I have something I need to discuss with you.”
“Just speak directly, sister.”
Lady Nu Ying nodded, speaking leisurely, with all the grace of a well-bred lady.
Meanwhile, the older sister, Lady Ehuang, was much more assertive.
“From now on, keep your conversations with him to a minimum; you must not be alone with him.”
Lady Nu Ying’s expression changed, no longer calm.
“Why?” she questioned.
Lady Ehuang bore down on her, “Why? Don’t you understand your own feelings?”
Lady Nu Ying bit her lip, shaking her head, meeting her gaze as she replied, “I don’t understand what my sister means.”
Lady Ehuang’s expression turned increasingly stern as she asked slowly, “Have you developed feelings for him?”
