Without the need for Deacon Wei to announce outside, Mo Wuji could already sense that the divine sense imprint he had placed was rapidly approaching.

Han Qingru's expression changed upon hearing this, and she immediately stood up, subconsciously saying, "Didn't I ask him to go to the Yongying Immortal Wharf?"

She quickly realized that this was not the time to consider this matter, and she urgently said to Ding Ding beside her, "Ding Ding, quickly take Fellow Daoist Mo upstairs to hide. Hurry!"

"Ah..." Ding Ding exclaimed in surprise. Before she could ask anything, Han Qingru pushed her. "Go quickly!"

"Fellow Daoist Mo, please hide for a moment. I'll explain later. I'm truly sorry," Han Qingru said apologetically to Mo Wuji, her eyes filled with anxiety.

"It's fine," Mo Wuji smiled and followed Ding Ding upstairs.

He sensed that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. If it were merely a matter of Steward He wanting to control Hundred Flowers Manor, he believed that Han Qingru would not be so nervous even when meeting him. That Steward He was just a mere Heavenly Immortal, and he couldn't even tell whether he had condensed an Immortal Lattice or not.

Because he felt that this matter was not simple, Mo Wuji did not say much and proactively followed Ding Ding upstairs.

As soon as Mo Wuji went upstairs, Steward He walked in without even bothering to greet anyone. When he saw that only Han Qingru was there, he quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Shu Feng greets the Manor Lord."

Han Qingru said faintly, "Steward He, have you already returned from the Yongying Immortal Wharf?"

Steward He quickly said, "I had just left when I remembered that there was something I hadn't done yet, so I hurried back for a visit, and also to greet the Manor Lord. I plan to go to the Yongying Immortal Wharf tomorrow."

Han Qingru nodded. "Since that's the case, you may leave now."

"Yes," Steward He said as he retreated, his gaze landing on the teacup from which Mo Wuji had just drunk his immortal spirit tea, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

Seeing Steward He leave, Han Qingru hurried upstairs.

…

Steward He quickly returned to his room. Not long after, a grey-clad servant walked in and asked, "Steward, why didn't you bring that guy out?"

"Did you see him come out?" Steward He asked with a gloomy face.

The grey-clad servant quickly said, "No, I'm sure that Mo Wuji didn't come out. As soon as he went in, I sent you a message and stayed outside to keep an eye on him. But when you came back, that old guy Wei Wu gave him a heads-up."

Steward He nodded. "I know. He Tun, you go and keep an eye on the Manor Lord's room. As soon as that Mo Wuji comes out, you tell me immediately. I was planning to let him live for a few more days, but this guy is courting death by daring to enter the Manor Lord's room."

"Should we tell the Lord?" Upon hearing this, the grey-clad servant quickly asked softly.

Steward He snorted. "Do you want to die? I still want to live, you idiot. Mo Wuji hasn't come out, and my divine sense didn't detect him either. Clearly, the Manor Lord hid him in her room. We just need to kill that kid later and then tell the Lord that this kid tried to approach the Manor Lord and was killed by us. Not only will we not be punished, but we'll also be rewarded."

The grey-clad servant shivered and instantly understood. This matter really couldn't be told to the Lord. The Lord sent them here to monitor the Manor Lord. If a man entered the Manor Lord's room and the Lord found out, that Mo Wuji would definitely deserve to die, but they wouldn't get off easy either.

Just then, a red glow landed in Steward He's hand. It was a message-carrying flying sword.

Steward He grabbed the message-carrying flying sword, his face instantly changing, and said with a trembling voice, "The Lord knows that a man entered the Manor Lord's room..."

"Ah..." Not only Steward He, but also He Tun, turned pale.

"That bastard, I should have killed him as soon as I saw him!" After saying that, Steward He rushed out. He knew that even if he killed Mo Wuji now, it might not work, but if he didn't kill Mo Wuji now, he was dead.

…

As soon as Mo Wuji entered the room, he knew that it was Han Qingru's boudoir. A faint fragrance wafted over, making Mo Wuji feel somewhat dazed. At that moment, he seemed to recall some past events.

He shook his head and cast aside those distracting thoughts. His Storage Meridian's divine sense permeated outwards, as he wanted to know what kind of role Steward He played in Hundred Flowers Manor.

A faint flying sword disappeared from the edge of Mo Wuji's divine sense. Was that a message-carrying flying sword? Mo Wuji wondered who sent it. It was Ding Ding, the one next to the Manor Lord.

Moreover, Mo Wuji was certain that Ding Ding sent the message-carrying flying sword without Han Qingru's knowledge. Not only that, but she also sent it from a hidden corner.

Just as Mo Wuji was still wondering who Ding Ding was sending the message-carrying flying sword to, the room's restrictions were opened again, and Han Qingru walked in. "I'm sorry, Pharmacist Mo. This time, I've implicated you."

"It's nothing. Is it that Steward He? At most, I'll just leave. It won't implicate me," Mo Wuji said calmly.

Han Qingru sighed. "He's just a dog. I'm talking about the person behind him. I always thought that He Tun was a member of Hundred Flowers Manor, but now I know that He Tun is also monitoring me. I said I implicated you because once you leave my room, Steward He will attack you. He should know that you're here with me, but I can't help you."

If she could do it again, she definitely wouldn't have called Mo Wuji to her place.

Mo Wuji became somewhat vigilant. If it were just Steward He, he wouldn't be afraid at all. But if there was someone behind Steward He, Hundred Flowers Manor was not a place to stay for long. There was too much trouble here.

"Boom!" Just as Mo Wuji was thinking that he should leave immediately, a sword light cleaved open the restrictions of Han Qingru's room.

Seeing Steward He standing at the door with a sword in hand, Han Qingru shouted sternly, "He Shufeng, how dare you destroy the restrictions of my room!"

Hearing Han Qingru's stern shout, Steward He bowed and said, "Manor Lord, I'm here to capture Mo Wuji. This person wantonly destroyed immortal spirit herbs in the alchemy room and even dared to break into the Manor Lord's room. I will not let him off lightly."

Han Qingru trembled with anger, pointing at He Shufeng with her finger. "I am the Manor Lord of Hundred Flowers Manor. Do I need your consent, a mere steward, to allow someone into my room?"

"He Shufeng, get out immediately!" Seeing He Shufeng destroy the room's restrictions with a sword, Ding Ding quickly stepped forward to block Han Qingru behind her and sternly rebuked He Shufeng.

Mo Wuji glanced at Ding Ding. This woman was not simple. She had secretly sent a message-carrying flying sword to someone earlier, and now she was blocking Han Qingru to the side.

On the surface, she was protecting Han Qingru from being harmed by Steward He, but in reality, this woman was creating an opening for He Shufeng to deal with him.

In fact, Mo Wuji had already seen that this Steward He was, as Han Qingru said, a dog. Since he was a dog, he would definitely not dare to attack Han Qingru. What Ding Ding was doing was undoubtedly trying to get He Shufeng to kill him.

"Today, I'll let you know the consequences of offending Hundred Flowers Manor..." As Steward He spoke, the long sword in his hand had already swept up a sword light and slashed towards Mo Wuji.

"Stop!" Han Qingru's anxious voice could only be heard after the sword light, unable to stop He Shufeng's sword light at all.

Mo Wuji realized then that this Manor Lord seemed to have cultivation but couldn't use it at all.

He wasn't afraid of a mere Heavenly Immortal like Steward He, even if his spiritual energy was scattered. Without even using his Heavenly Machine Staff, he rushed into the sword light and blasted out two Thunder Swords.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

The thunder and sword light collided and exploded in Han Qingru's room.

"Bang!" In just one exchange, Steward He was blasted away by Mo Wuji's violent Thunder Swords. Mo Wuji stepped forward and blasted out another Thunder Sword.

Steward He stared blankly at Mo Wuji. How could an Earthly Immortal with only a storage bag be so powerful? He was certain that Mo Wuji's Yuan Power had not yet been converted into Immortal Essence, so he was definitely an Earthly Immortal.

"Pfft!" Mo Wuji's Thunder Sword directly split Steward He in two.

Everyone was stunned. A newly arrived gardener had killed a Heavenly Immortal steward. Moreover, it was done in two moves. This was simply not a battle of the same level. In fact, it really wasn't a battle of the same level, but the one who won was the one with the lower level. Mo Wuji was also speechless. He was certain that even in the Half-Immortal Domain, there were plenty of people who could kill Steward He with this strength.

After a while, Han Qingru finally woke up and quickly said, "Pharmacist Mo, you should leave now."

She knew that if Mo Wuji continued to stay here, he would only be waiting for death.

Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. This Han Qingru was kind, but unfortunately, she probably didn't know that almost everyone around her was monitoring her.

"Manor Lord, I'll quickly go and notify Deacon Wei to delay for a while..." After Ding Ding said that, she hurriedly left without even waiting for Han Qingru to answer.

"Pharmacist Mo, you should leave here quickly. I..."

This time, Mo Wuji interrupted Han Qingru. "Manor Lord Han, although I don't know who's monitoring you, I suggest that you leave Hundred Flowers Manor now, just like me."

He felt that this Manor Lord would not have a good ending if she stayed here.

Han Qingru shook her head and took out a talisman, handing it to Mo Wuji. "If I could leave, I would have left long ago. I have a divine sense imprint on my body. Once I leave here, I'll be found very quickly. Here's an escape talisman. Take it."

"If Manor Lord Han trusts me, I can help you remove the imprint, but it needs to be done outside of Hundred Flowers Manor," Mo Wuji said without taking the escape talisman. He wasn't boasting. Back then, he was able to remove the terrible, hidden imprint that Duan Men had placed on him. Now, his cultivation and array skills were hundreds of times stronger than they were then. He believed that a mere imprint wouldn't be difficult for him.

"You can really help me remove the imprint?" Han Qingru asked in surprise.

Mo Wuji nodded. "I'm sure I can do it."

"Then we'll leave as soon as Ding Ding comes back," Han Qingru said, her voice trembling with excitement, showing how much she longed to leave this place.

Mo Wuji said in a deep voice, "If we wait for Ding Ding to come back, then we won't have to leave."

(That's all for today's update, good night friends!)
