Chapter 127 Another Test

Mo Juren acted out his whole act. He bowed deeply and said with a smile,

"Since we met first, Tie'er would like to wish Third Master's wife well! May Third Master's wife remain young and beautiful forever!"

The third lady smiled happily upon hearing this.

"Haha, you really know how to please people. I know what we girls are thinking. Which woman doesn't want to look young?"

Then he lowered his head and sighed softly,
"It's a pity that no matter how beautiful a face is, in the eyes of those who don't appreciate it, it's no different from a withered flower."

As soon as she finished speaking, when she looked at "Zhang Tie" again, she had already secretly performed the "Sky Fox Technique" with a dazed look in her eyes.

Mo Juren continued to act until the end, looking like he had been tricked again, his eyes becoming empty.

I only heard the third lady's tone become charming again and said,

"Tie'er, tell me, is Third Master's Wife old? Is she pretty?"

"… Ageless and extremely beautiful, Third Master's Wife…"

"Then Tie'er, you said that the Third Master's Wife is so beautiful, why doesn't your master like her anymore?"

"...Master likes it, Tie'er also...likes it..."

"Tie'er, you don't tell the truth~ What does your master usually say to Third Master's Wife? Tell her the truth~"

"...Master said that the Third Master's Wife is the most beautiful and mysterious...I can't let her be enchanted...She is so beautiful...I think..."

Mo Juren deliberately acted as if he couldn't resist the temptation and was about to rush forward, slowly approaching the third lady.

The third lady retreated as she spoke, and was gradually pushed to the side of a pillar, unable to retreat any further.

Seeing that "Zhang Tie" was about to kiss her on the face, she still did not give up and intensified her temptation.
"Did the master ask you to test ~ uh... the third master's wife?"

The third lady turned her head away. If she hadn't avoided it, she would have been touched in the face.

Mo Juren secretly laughed in his heart. Even at this point, the third lady was still insisting. He didn't know whether it was because she was too obsessed or she wanted to go with the flow and turn the fake into real.

So he continued to exert extreme pressure, taking another step closer, and his sturdy figure completely covered the petite Third Lady.

The two of them were already pressed close together, feeling the heartbeat beneath their skin.

Mo Juren pretended to be confused and said incoherently,
"...I don't know, it's so hot...I miss you so much...Third Master's Wife, don't move..."

After saying that, he slowly kissed her. Who is afraid of who?

In the nick of time, the third lady was the first to be defeated. She escaped from "Zhang Tie"'s suppression in a flash, turned around and ran away with a red face.

After running to the corner, the third lady pressed herself against the other side of the corner, her heart beating fast.

She kept fanning her face with both hands, as if to drive away the burning sensation on her face, and muttered softly,

“Humph, it’s all Fourth Sister’s fault. She made me test Zhang Tie again, and he almost got me angry…”

After saying this, he fled in a hurry.

But she probably didn't know that these little movements were actually heard clearly by Mo Juren's keen hearing.

Unexpectedly, it was the Fourth Madam who acted on her own and instigated the Third Madam to test me. It should be that they still did not trust my identity as Master Mo's apprentice.

Mo Juren thought to himself that it seemed that she had to be severely "punished".

So he transformed himself into Mo Juren, put on white clothes and a mask, and planned to visit the Fourth Lady's lair at night.

After strolling through the Mo Mansion, he first arrived outside the Second Madam's house.

Mo Juren heard the sound of a wooden fish being struck and was surprised. Who was chanting Buddhist scriptures in the second lady's room?

Taking advantage of the night, I leaned against the window and took a look. Who else could it be but the Second Madam?
She was wearing a plain Buddhist robe that covered her perfect figure. Her hair was tied up high, her face was solemn, and she was reciting scriptures very devoutly.

Seeing this, Mo Juren began to blame himself.

I didn't expect that because I had disappeared for so many years, this second wife of mine, who came from a scholarly family, actually placed her hopes on gods and Buddhas.

So Mo Juren forgot about punishing the fourth lady, and came to the house, knocked on the door and entered.

The second lady was shocked.

"Husband! Why are you here? Ah, didn't husband say that cultivators are not allowed to enter this city? Why..."

"Hush! Be quiet! I have sneaked into the city to see my second wife."

"Ah, why is my husband so kind to me? But...is it dangerous?"

"It's okay. For the sake of the Second Madam, this risk is worth taking."

Mo Juren glanced at the wooden fish in her hand and hugged the second lady.

"If your husband doesn't show up again, I'm afraid that you might become disillusioned with the world and become a nun someday."

"Ah, my husband, if it weren't for..."

But he couldn't say anything else because Mo Juren had sealed his mouth. He just lay there with his body and his mind blank.

"Tonight, I, your husband, will let you fully experience the happiness of this worldly world."

That night, Mo Juren spent a night alone with his second wife, and he cherished her again and again...

The Second Madam didn't even take off her Buddhist robes, because Mo Juren said that she felt very special...

……

It’s all the third lady’s fault for lighting the fire and then running away.

The next day, "Zhang Tie" went to look for her, but was told that the third wife had already left the city.

The third lady would disappear on her own every once in a while, and Mo Juren knew this when he married her ten years ago.

Before marrying her, he had promised not to pursue the matter or inquire about her whereabouts.

This was also one of the conditions for the Third Lady to marry Mo Juren.

But, this was all what Mo Juren promised her, 'What does it have to do with me, Zhang Tie?' Mo Juren thought secretly.

So Mo Juren decided to follow the third lady and see if there were any factors behind her that might be unfavorable to him and the Mo family.

After making up his mind, Mo Juren asked everyone, from the servants in the mansion to the guards at the door to the waiters at the dock, and finally learned that the third wife Liu Ya boarded a passenger ship from the dock and went south along a tributary of the Grand Canal.

According to the itinerary of this passenger ship, it should be heading to the third lady's hometown - Quling City.

On the surface, this itinerary seemed to be nothing strange, but after knowing that she was related to immortal cultivators, Mo Juren felt that the matter was not that simple.

So Zhang Tie, the incarnation of Mo Juren, followed him all the way.

After leaving Jiayuan City, he used the Wind Control Technique to catch up with the ordinary passenger ship that the third wife was on. He hid his body along the shore and followed the ship south.

Soon they caught up to Quling City.

The third lady covered her figure with a green cloak with a hood. After getting off the boat alone, she went straight to the headquarters of Changfengmen.

Mo Juren followed her into the city and followed her halfway when he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Is this just a simple return to her parents' home?
