Mo Chen picked up the root, and for just a moment, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she threw the root back into the box.
Everyone was very puzzled by her behavior.
Meng Kaide asked: "Little girl, what are you doing!?"
"You have been deceived. I'm afraid this thing has been tampered with."
"Impossible! That was taken out by General Huo Ji, it can't be fake!" Meng Kaide retorted directly without thinking.
Mo Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then said ambiguously: "Anyway, it must have been true when he took it out that night. Of course, you don't have to believe me, because you can't go on anymore."
"Did someone change him?" Meng Kaide was dubious.
"If something is taken away from you, how do I know who stole it?"
"No! If this thing is fake, then wouldn't it have led us down a wrong path these days?"
"Maybe this little thief wants to persuade us to return. After all, we didn't encounter any danger along the way."
"But, we don't have enough water and there is no way back."
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly frowned and frowned in thought.
Mo Shen walked not far away expressionlessly, letting them think about it themselves.
Only Pei Shaojun and Tang Zhixing quietly walked up to Mo Shen. Looking at her as calm as water, Tang Zhixing asked: "How can a girl know what is true and what is false?"
When Mo Shen heard this, he gave an unexpected answer: "Do you still want to continue searching?"
"Yes!" Tang Zhixing nodded vigorously: "I heard that there is a secret medicine in the flowers. My mother suddenly fell ill. Maybe the secret medicine there can save my mother's life."
"Didn't you get the Wonderful Pill?"
"Miaoji Dan can only detoxify, but the doctor said my mother is not poisoned."
"No wonder. What about Mr. Pei? Why are you going?"
"No reason, I just want to go."
"There may not be what you want in there. If that city is really as powerful as the legend says, it won't be sealed by destruction."
"Whether there is any or not, I don't want to leave any regrets! Miss Mo Shen, is there any way you can take us there?!"
"I can take you there. But I can't go with those people anymore."
"What's the reason for this?"
"I just said that the things had been tampered with. They guessed that the things were fake. I just followed their words."
"What difference does it make?"
"The difference is huge. The fake ebony roots will at most lead us down the wrong path, but if the real ebony that has been manipulated cannot open the barrier, the worst outcome will be death, or the worst case, the soul will disappear. We don't have it." It is necessary to take them into danger together."
Tang Zhixing nodded, but Pei Shaojun narrowed his eyes, and his voice was slightly chilly: "In addition to the barrier, the ones who will kill us may also be Huo Ji and He Liang, so you want to trick them into returning."
His tone was very firm, and he gently curved his lips: "Mr. Pei, I would like to remind you that smart people live a long life, but people who think they are smart will generally die quickly."
"Who are you exactly?"
"I am the one who can take you to the flowery roads. If you say one more word, I may kill you two burdens on the way."
She was clearly smiling, but they felt a chill in their hearts and a chill down their spines.
"Then how do we separate from them?" Tang Zhixing asked.
"Just sneak away, do you still want them to beat gongs and drums to see us off?"
"You are so sharp-tongued that you will definitely not be able to find a good husband in the future."
Pei Shaojun's words seemed to have touched a sore spot in her heart. Mo Shen glared at him: "I can't find a good husband, so I wish you an early promotion and fortune!"
Pei Shaojun: "."
Tang Zhixing: "."
On the other side, Meng Kaide seemed to believe what Mo Shen said and ordered everyone to camp on the spot.
Tang Zhixing asked in a low voice: "Miss Mo Shen, what about us?"
"Set up camp, I'll let you know before I leave at night."
"good!"
Tang Zhixing nodded and was about to leave, but saw Pei Shaojun standing with his hands behind his hands and staring at Mo Shen, seemingly not planning to leave.
"Mr. Pei, I already have a sweetheart." Mo Shen said with a half-smile.
"Brother Tang, go tell Brother He that in order to protect Miss Mo Shen, we will stay next to Miss Mo Shen tonight."
"good!"
Tang Zhixing immediately realized that Pei Shaojun was afraid that Mo Shen would also deceive them and left them alone.
Mo Shen shrugged and started to install the tent. Pei Shaojun helped her along, but Mo Shen did not refuse.
After half a stick of incense, Tang Zhixing returned, but He Jingyuan was still with him.
As soon as Mo Shen saw his figure, his head suddenly grew taller than ten.
"Sister Mo Shen! Let me help you!"
He Jingyuan shamelessly approached Mo Chen and snatched everything from her hand.
"No need to trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble! Sister, just rest and leave this rough work to us!"
Mo Chen crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile: "Okay! Come on!"
He Jingyuan did not expect that Mo Shen was too lazy to refuse. He looked at the things in his hand and suddenly became confused. He smiled awkwardly and stuffed them all into Tang Zhixing's arms.
"Sister Mo Shen, the jewelry on your body is too simple. Look at this pearl-white flower hairpin, it's so plain! And what are you wearing on your wrist? Is it gold, silver, silver, copper, or copper?
Come on, come on, this is for you."
He Jingyuan opened his soft and tender hands, took out a lot of jewelry from his arms and tried to stuff it into her hand.
Mo Chen glanced at the two charming women not far away, who were He Jingyuan's personal maids.
Pei Shaojun also glanced at them and said, "Master He, your two beauties seem to need your coaxing."
He Jingyuan turned a deaf ear to what he said, all he could think about was the lovely person in front of him.
"Sister Mo Shen, put it on quickly and let me see."
"No need, I don't like these fancy things."
"Don't like it? Then I still have silver jewelry!"
"I don't like anything else except what's on me."
Mo Shen almost told him bluntly that she didn't like him as a person, so she didn't like anything he gave her.
Due to the presence of those people outside, she didn't want to cause trouble to avoid attracting attention.
But He Jingyuan seemed to have lost his mind and returned to his tent to get new items.
Although Mo Shen kept refusing, he seemed to become more courageous and not discouraged.
The night was getting darker, and everyone was forced back to their respective camps by the cold.
Only He Jingyuan stayed in Pei Shaojun and Tang Zhixing's small tent and refused to leave.
Tang Zhixing looked to the next door and could vaguely see Mo Shen's figure under the candlelight.
He was anxious, fearing that Mo Shen would really abandon them, so he winked at Pei Shaojun one after another, asking him to think of something.
But the guy kept his eyes closed and meditated, and didn't seem anxious.
