Chapter 591: Bite His Shoulder With Open Mouth

o find enough material to make a single package of explosives."I understand that, An Xue Tang nodded slightly. "I've thought about this, and it will be very difficult for us to find sulfur in the mark...Lei Hong was still a little dazed at the moment, but she quickly nodded and said, "Yes...yes, Your Highness is right. I will remember it."

"Get up, go outside and practice martial arts first."

"Yes, thank you, Young Master."

After Lei Hong left, Mo Junyi looked at Xiao Ba dressed as a man, "In the past, no matter who dared to infiltrate the Bei Jiang camp, there was only one way to die. Do you know why His Highness let you go today"

Xiao Ba pursed his lips and shook his head.

"Because when the King of Beijiang visited Xuan Guo, your uncle helped him. My fifth uncle never forgets a favor. This time, I let you go because of your uncle."

Xiao Ba fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Could you please do me a favor and help me find my elder brother, considering my uncle's position"

Mo Junyi narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "Being too greedy"

“…”

Xiao Ba's face showed a hint of embarrassment, "That...that at worst you can punish me, do whatever you want to me. Just leave this face for my older brother, I just want to find him, he has been missing for so long, I'm afraid something really happened to him."

Mo Junyi understood this feeling of concern, and at this moment he no longer played coy with her. "Your older brother is not in Beijang City. He was there before, but he has been taken back by your uncle's people."

"Really But...but he hadn't contacted me before I left the palace, and my uncle didn't tell me he had been found."

"Your older brother has a traitor by his side. He was framed because of the traitor, so do you think his true whereabouts could be easily exposed"

"Spies" Xiao Ba's brows furrowed, "Is this true"

Mo Junyi looked at her speechless, "Why do you always question people You can believe it or not, but now we're letting you stay in the Beijiang camp because of your uncle. We will keep you here until your uncle comes to pick you up himself."

"Will my uncle really come"

"..."

"Yes, my fifth uncle said the same thing in his letter. Now many people suspect your elder brother appeared in Beijang City and want to take this opportunity to kill him there. If your whereabouts are discovered, I'm afraid you'll be the one who dies in the end."

Xiao Ba's small face instantly showed murderous intent, clenching his fists and saying, "Who the hell wants to take our lives, you and me!"

Mo Jun Yi sneered, "Being in the water and fire of the Imperial Palace, you would ask such a stupid question. You are indeed quite foolish."

"!"

Xiao Ba was upset when he called her stupid. She pouted and looked at him unhappily, "I could read the Four Books and Five Classics when I was three years old, write poems when I was four, and..."

"Stop stop stop."

Mo Junyi quickly raised his hand to stop her, "Sometimes these things don't represent whether someone is stupid. Look at what you've done, which one isn't stupid Running away by yourself, do you think you are who Could you really find your elder brother with your own ability"

"Your older brother has always been cautious. If he were to be tricked, with your abilities, what could you possibly do to save him What makes you think you could safely find him and rescue him"

Besides, you're not alone in Xuan Country. You have your grandfather and your uncles, who hold high positions there. If you had just consulted them, you wouldn't have made this pointless trip.

"Think about all the people who sacrificed themselves to protect you along the way Isn't that stupid In my opinion, you are utterly foolish!"

"!!"

Mo Junyi was actually trying to tell her that she should think things through before acting, not just charge headlong into everything. Luckily, today she had run into the Bei Jiang camp, but what if it had been a different camp

If it weren't for the connection between her uncle and his fifth uncle, would she still be alive today

So in Mo Junyi's view, these words of his were merely to wake her up, to make her think twice before acting next time and not be so reckless.

But he forgot that, despite Xiao Ba's mature thoughts, she was still just a seven or eight-year-old girl. Especially growing up, she had always been the apple of everyone's eye. Who would ever speak to her in such a harsh and blunt manner

Even the Emperor himself had always only ever doted on her. Her older brother, her deceased mother, her maternal grandfather, her uncles – none of them were not devoted to protecting her.

No one had ever spoken to her like this before. Now that Mo Junyi was berating her so harshly, she felt overwhelmed with grievance and couldn't hold it in any longer. She burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably, her tears flowing freely.

"!"

Mo Junyi saw that her expression had suddenly changed. He jumped up from his chair, looking both helpless and flustered.

Xiaoba not only cried, she also sat down on the ground with a thud, shaking all over from sobs. Her tears flowed uncontrollably like a waterfall, pouring out of her eyes and running wild across her face.

Mo Junyi was dumbfounded. He... what exactly had he done What unforgivable sin could have caused her to cry like this

He looked to Yun Yi, who was expressionless beside him, and gave him a pleading look. Yun Yi, however, pretended not to see, silently lowering his head.

There's a vibe of someone making someone else cry, then trying to comfort them.

Mo Jun Yi sought help but was met with no avail, he finally let out a deep sigh. He looked down at Xiao Ba who was crying, stiffly uttering, "You... don't cry."

His words were like a stone sinking into the sea, Xiao Ba didn't listen at all.

But he couldn't let her keep crying like this. Mo Junyi was worried and his face was full of helplessness. After thinking for a moment, he still walked over to try and pull her up:

"If you're going to cry, do it standing up. It's not good to sit on the ground like that. It looks bad and it's cold. If you catch a chill, we'll have to trouble the doctors from our Bei Jiang camp to treat you."

Xiaoba, upon hearing this, cried even harder. Her cries grew louder and she swatted away Mo Junyi's hand when he tried to pull her up.

This little girl really packs a punch. Mo Junyi's arm was aching from her slap, he glared at her playfully, "Xiao Ba, stop it!"

Xiao Ba immediately became furious, crying with all his might and roared, "Yes, I was being reckless, I was ignorant and ungrateful. It was I who killed those who protected me, it was my capriciousness that caused so many deaths, it's all my fault!"

"I should never have been born. Then my mother wouldn't have gotten sick from giving birth to me and died so young. I shouldn't be alive. The people who protected me wouldn't have lost their lives. It's all my fault."

""..."""

Little Eight had been on a perilous journey, facing danger at every turn. She was fuming with suppressed anger.

Even at her young age, she was seeing someone die right in front of her for the first time.

She had been pretending to be strong these past few days, but after being scolded by Mo Junyi, she felt lost and helpless. How could she not know that because of her own whims, many people around her had died

She had kept this matter hidden in her heart, afraid to mention it. Now that Mo Junyi had pointed it out so openly and directly, she finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Regret, grievance, and a whole range of emotions washed over me.

Mo Jun Yi didn't know that his words would make the little girl cry like this. Thinking about An Xue Tang's words in the letter, saying not to bully girls and that girls are meant to be coaxed...

He pursed his lips, thinking for a moment before finally bending down and forcefully scooping her up in his arms.

Who knew the moment he picked up Xiao Ba, this little girl would bite his shoulder!
