Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 161

Situ Kong, who was so confused, shook his head. He wanted to go into the room but was stopped by Xuanyuan Mo.

“Chief Master, Second Master, Xi can’t meet you now–it is not convenient. You can tell me if anything.”

His voice was cold with apparent disgruntlement.

Situ Kong looked up at Xuanyuan Mo and glimpsed the apparent hickeys on the neck. Instantly, he seemed to understand something and blushed. His eyes slightly flickered. Oh no, it seemed that he had disturbed Xi and Mo. Well, Xi was too wild!

He turned to glance at Nalan Xi. They communicated through eye contact.

“Old chap, you have guessed it right? Why didn’t you stop me earlier? Did you deliberately embarrass me?” Situ Kong thought.

“Hey, it’s because you are too stupid. How can you blame me? I did want to stop you but you didn’t give me any chance at all!” Nalan Xi thought.

Situ Kong turned to touch his nose with embarrassment, “Mo, I didn’t know you two were… But it’s not all my fault. It’s in the daytime… You’d better not do this too frequently…”

As Situ Kong explained, Xuanyuan Mo’s facial expression turned grimmer and grimmer. Even his amber eyes also became a bottomless abyss. His whole body was raging with fire.

Nalan Xi aside couldn’t stand it anymore. He stroked his forehead and directly went forward to drag Situ Kong away.

Dragged forcibly by Nalan Xi, Situ Kong staggered forward for a step and shouted at Nalan Xi querulously, “Old chap, what are you doing? I haven’t finished talking yet!”

Nalan Xi rolled his eyes inwardly and exerted more strength on his hand. He directly dragged Situ Kong over and said in a low voice, “Enough talking. Don’t you see Mo’s angry face?”

Hearing that, Situ Kong subconsciously shuddered and stopped struggling, leaving Nalan Xi to drag him away. The man who was not satisfied was so terrifying!

“Chief Master, Second Master.” When they were about to get out of Xuelan House, Duanmu Xi’s voice sounded behind them.

Hearing that, the three of them turned around at the same time.

Xuanyuan Mo glimpsed the red hickeys on Duanmu Xi’s neck and his eyes instantly turned dark. He went forward and lifted Duanmu Xi’s collars, “Why are you out?”

His voice was as tender as water, which was not as cold as just now at all.

Upon seeing the hickeys on Xuanyuan Mo’s neck, Duanmu Xi immediately blushed. Did she kiss his neck just now? What should she do? She really wanted to hide back in her room.

“Xi.”

“Xi.”

Situ Kong and Nalan Xi called her simultaneously.

Hearing their voices, Duanmu Xi had to brace herself to go forward no matter how reluctant she was, “Chief Master, Second Master, any news about Third Master?”

Hearing that, Situ Kong and Nalan Xi both frowned and looked stern.

“We are here today for your third master. This morning, Situ Kong and I went to your third master’s room but failed to find her. The palace maid who cleaned her room said that she hadn’t seen Mei Luo for three days. We feel that it is a big problem now. Situ Kong and I searched the whole imperial palace of Baihu but we still didn’t find her.”

Then, Nalan Xi put on a worried look.

Duanmu Xi became increasingly astounded. Her third master was not familiar with the Baihu Empire. Neither did she have any friends here. Where would she go? Duanmu Xi suddenly thought of the men of sacrifice in black who assaulted Third Master in the Spiritual Beast Forest. Did those people take Third Master away?

Xuanyuan Mo who had been watching Duanmu Xi saw the fluster flash across her face. His eyes slightly flickered, “Do you have any clues?”

Situ Kong and Nalan Xi both looked at Duanmu Xi at once.

Faced with their expectant eyes, Duanmu Xi knitted her eyebrows. After thinking for a while, she said, “More than two months ago, when we were having a trial in the Spiritual Beast Forest, Third Master used to be assassinated by the men of sacrifice in black. I wonder whether Third Master’s loss has anything to do with those men of sacrifice.”

Situ Kong and Nalan Xi were both surprised to hear that. They didn’t know about this matter. Neither did Mei Luo talk about it with them. However, on second thought, it was fair enough. She always looked cold and rarely smiled at them. Only when she saw Xi would she smile occasionally. If anything really happened to that aloof woman, she would definitely choose not to tell them.

“Mei Luo never mingles with outsiders. She has no friend or enemy. This time, it is really strange that she is missing in the Baihu Empire. As you say, probably Mei Luo has been captured by those men of sacrifice in black. However, given her cultivation, those people still managed to take her away unknowingly without disturbing the guards in the palace. Even Situ Kong and I didn’t hear any noise. Evidently, those people must be really capable.”

Nalan Xi’s words made the others lapse into silence.

They knew about Mei Luo’s abilities. As Mei Luo’s disciple, Duanmu Xi knew better about what she could do. Since those people could take away Mei Luo unknowingly, their abilities couldn’t be underestimated indeed.

Duanmu Xi had a glimmer of worry in her dark purple eyes. If Third Master was really captured by those people, how would she be treated?

After being silent for a while, Situ Kong suddenly said, “Do you have any clues as to the men of sacrifice in black?”

As long as they could have a clue as to the men of sacrifice in black–even a bit of a clue, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to find Mei Luo in light of their identities.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi slightly knitted her eyebrows and shook her head. She didn’t know anything about the men of sacrifice in black. When those men of sacrifice in black assassinated Third Master, Duanmu Xi was not present. It was because Snow told her about this matter that she realized Third Master was assassinated by a group of men of sacrifice in black in the jungle. However, now that Snow had lost his memory, he certainly didn’t have any clues as to the men of sacrifice in black.

The several people present were silent again. They were all worried about Mei Luo.

After another silence, Xuanyuan Mo who had been listening to them talking said, “Does any one of you know about Third Master’s true identity? For example, where she is from, whom she learns her abilities from, or what family members she has. If we know about the information, maybe we can follow the clues and find out the identities of those men of sacrifice in black.”

Duanmu Xi’s and Situ Kong’s eyes instantly sparkled. They both looked at Nalan Xi expectantly.

Astonishingly, Nalan Xi shook his head.

Duanmu Xi was slightly upset but at the thought of Third Master’s cold character, it was understandable that Second Master didn’t know about her identity.

Situ Kong shouted discontentedly, “Old Chap, what’s wrong with you? Mei Luo is the elder of Shengjin Academy. How can you not know about her identity? You are such an irresponsible president.”

With the corners of Nalan Xi’s lips twitching, he shouted as well, “I’m the president. I don’t have to check her residence card. Why would I know about her identity?”

Back then, she came to Shengjin Academy alone. Upon meeting him, she said at once, “I must stay here.” As she looked young, Nalan Xi thought she wanted to study at Shengjin Academy. Unexpectedly, she claimed to be the elder. Afterward, after doing a test on her, she was found to be highly competent, especially in terms of spiritual magic. Hence, she was kept as the elder of the spiritual masters.

She used to act aloofly and never talk with others. She barely had any sense of presence. He hadn’t paid special attention to her. As to the questions Mo asked just now, he had no idea at all. Afterward, he started to pay attention to her because of Xi.

“You…”

Situ Kong widened his eyes and wanted to say something when he heard Duanmu Xi say, “Okay. Chief Master, Second Master, please calm down. Our priority is to find Third Master.”

She knew that Third Master wouldn’t be missing for no reason. Something untoward must have happened to Third Master. Duanmu Xi was really worried about her.

Hearing that, Situ Kong and Nalan Xi just kept quiet and started thinking about the solution.

Xuanyuan Mo aside saw Duanmu Xi’s worried face and felt pitiful for her. Then, he went forward and put his arms around Duanmu Xi’s shoulders gently, saying with comfort, “Xi, don’t worry. Third Master is highly competent. She may not be captured by those people. I will order the painters to draw several portraits of Third Master and ask Yu Ying and Yu Feng to look for her with the tiger guards. If she is still in the Baihu Empire, we will be able to find her for sure.”

Apart from the tiger guards, he could make all the beasts in the world search for Mei Luo. He believed that she would be found soon.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi nodded. She could ask Phoenix Five and Long Yue to look for Third Master with the phoenix guards and the dragon guards. If they couldn’t find her in the Baihu Empire, they could go to the Zhuque Empire, the Qinglong Empire and the Xuanwu Empire. Regardless, she must find Third Master.

After pondering for a while, Nalan Xi looked at the others and said, “How about this? Let’s split up. I’ll go back to the Central State to search for her with Xue Luochen and the others. Old chap, you stay in the Baihu Empire and help Xi inquire about Mei Luo. Keep me updated if you acquire any information.”

Hearing that, the three other people all nodded in agreement.

“Since you all agree, without further ado, I will go to the inn and talk to Xue Luochen and the others.”

Duanmu Xi was reluctant to be parted from Nalan Xi but she was aware of the priorities so she could only say, “Second Master, be safe.”

Hearing that, Nalan Xi nodded and took a glance at Duanmu Xi with affection. Then, he turned to say to Situ Kong, “Old chap, take good care of Xi.”

Situ Kong waved his hand impatiently, “Of course. Just get going. It’s not early now.” Duanmu Xi was his precious disciple. Of course he would take care of her.

Receiving a positive answer, Nalan Xi finally summoned his Brontosaurus and flew away.

The three of them didn’t turn their gaze until they couldn’t see Nalan Xi.

Situ Kong looked at Duanmu Xi, his eyes slightly flickering, “Xi, in order to take better care of you, I decide to move into Prince Zhan’s mansion.”

He didn’t like living in the imperial palace and couldn’t stand staying there any longer.

“No way.” Before Duanmu Xi could speak, Xuanyuan Mo directly rejected him. Of course Xuanyuan Mo couldn’t let Situ Kong move into Prince Zhan’s mansion. Otherwise, Xuanyuan Mo would surely be tortured to death without being satisfied.

Hearing that, Situ Kong was so speechless. Xuanyuan Mo was so rude!

“Mo, why are you so ruthless? I mean to move into your mansion only in order to take care of Xi. Otherwise, why would I move into your mansion?”

He didn’t even want to live in the imperial palace. Why would he want to move into Prince Zhan’s mansion? Without Xi here, he wouldn’t live in Prince Zhan’s mansion even if he was begged to.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo immediately chimed in, “Chief Master, you’ve thought too much. I can take care of my own wife. No worries.”

Situ Kong looked at Xuanyuan Mo who was insistent and turned to say to Duanmu Xi, “Since Mo doesn’t allow me to move into Prince Zhan’s mansion, I can only stay in the inn!”

Situ Kong glanced at Xuanyuan Mo who let out a sigh of relief and then continued, “However, I’m not feeling well recently. Xi, come to my inn and take care of me for several days!”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo instantly pulled a long face and clenched his fists, holding back his impulse to hit Situ Kong.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi agreed with smiling eyes, “Okay, Master.”

“I agree.” His voice was rigid without rising and falling.

Hearing that, Situ Kong slightly curled his lips and deliberately asked, “What did you say?”

“I said I agreed with you to move into my mansion,” Xuanyuan Mo said through gritted teeth.
