“No, I didn’t,” Ye Mo said. “If I wanted to kiss you, I’d have done it to your face, not sneakily.”

He smiled and, under Nangong Yurou’s astonished gaze, planted a kiss on her cheek.

Ye Mo no longer intended to suppress his emotions. If he liked someone, so be it. And if he did not like someone, so be it as well.

After Ye Mo kissed her cheek, Nangong Yurou’s heartbeat sped up. When she remembered how much her sister liked him, a complicated emotion rose in her heart.

“By the way, who was it who ambushed you, Yurou?” That was what Ye Mo cared about the most. No matter who it was that had ambushed Nangong Yurou, Ye Mo would make them pay for it.

“Someone from the First Heaven Society.” Nangong Yurou grew furious. “The one who injured me was a disciple of Door of Desolation, but I guarantee that he’s also a member of First Heaven Society. Before he tried to kill me, he told me that, because of you, all their plans were ruined.”

“I knew it was the First Heaven Society.” Ye Mo grit his teeth. “They just sent Door of Desolation disciples to try to damage the relationship between your father and the Door of Desolation. It’s a sinister scheme.”

Creak.

The door opened. Nangong Qingxue couldn’t hold herself back any longer and had finally decided to enter.

“Sister, you’re awake?” She sounded relieved. “How are you feeling? Why are you flushed?” She walked to the side of the bed.

Nangong Yurou had screeched earlier, and now she was blushing. It was enough for the imagination to run wild.

“Um.” Nangong Yurou nodded before looking at Ye Mo beside her and said with a smile on her face, “Sister, I’m fine. If it weren’t for Ye Mo, I might have stayed unconscious my entire life. You’ll have to tell father to thank Ye Mo for this.”

Ye Mo was touched. This girl seemed to be thinking of him all the time.

“I’ll go tell father right this moment,” Nangong Qingxue said before rushing out the room, leaving Nangong Yurou and Ye Mo alone.

“Yurou, you have to take some time off and rest,” Ye Mo said. “I’ll come back to treat you some more in a few days.”

“Um.” Nangong Yurou nodded her head and said softly, “Ye Mo, you...do you like me?”

She looked at him expectantly.

“If you could master your bad temper, I’d definitely like you,” Ye Mo rubbed Nangong Yurou’s head and said with a smile.

“I’ll do my best to become a better person.” Nangong Yurou nodded solemnly, heart filled with joy.

Soon after, Nangong Wudi and Nangong Qingxue rushed into the room. When Nangong Wudi saw Nangong Yurou leaning on the bed with her face flushed red, he smiled.

“Hahaha, the Light of Glorious Sun is really something,” he said with a laugh. “You’ve managed to heal an injury not even I could do anything about.”

“Lord castellan, Yurou has just stabilized from her injury,” Ye Mo said. “I’ll come to offer her follow-up treatment every few days until she can fully move the true energy within her body again.”

“Um, ok. Well, you may leave for now,” Nangong Wudi said.

“Alright.” Ye Mo nodded and prepared to leave.

“Father, let me send Ye Mo off,” Nangong Qingxue said. “No matter what he’s done, he’s still a stranger in our estate. If the guards mistake him for some outsider, things will be difficult for him.”

The two of them left the room.

When Nangong Wudi saw Nangong Yurou staring at Ye Mo longingly, he frowned and asked, “Yurou, has something happened between you and Ye Mo?”

“Huh?” Nangong Yurou’s face turned red as an apple. She nodded her head like a chick and said, “To remove the poison from me, he had no other options. In truth, I like him a lot as well.”

“Yurou, reasonably speaking, that Ye Mo is indeed an outstanding person,” Nongong Wudi said. “But I’ve already promised Elder Wu Tian to betroth you to his adopted son. But, since you like Ye Mo, I’ll have to be shameless and reject the betrothal for you.”

“Thank you, lord father,” Nangong Yurou said, her face filled with a smile of joy.

“Was your ambusher someone from the First Heaven Society?” Nangong Wudi asked.

“Yes.” Nangong Yurou nodded. “They were all dressed in the Door of Desolation’s uniforms, but I’m certain they were members of the First Heaven Society. Both Ye Mo and I killed a lot of their members when we were in the Desolate Ancient World. They were trying to take revenge on me.”

“The First Heaven Society is getting bolder.” Nangong Wudi’s face turned frosty. After a while, he calmed down and spoke again, “Yurou, take some time off and rest properly.”

“Mhm!” Nangong Yurou nodded her head heavily.

Meanwhile, Nangong Qingxue had already brought Ye Mo to the entrance of the estate.

“Ye Mo, how are you feeling now?” Nangong Qingxue asked. She noticed that Ye Mo was slightly pale. “Do you need to rest for a bit?”

“No, I’m fine,” Ye Mo said. “I’ve just exhausted a bit too much true energy. In a few days, I’ll come back to give Yurou her follow-up treatment.”

Ye Mo left the estate.

Outside, the street was bustling with activity, filled with people, noise filling the air.

The people in the Desolate City were all warriors with decent strength. They were all people with great judgment as well.

Currently, Ye Mo had a mid-grade Bejeweled Weapon hanging on his back. The intense bloodlust emanating from the weapon attracted the attention of many pedestrians.

“Such a strong spiritual undulation is coming from the weapon on that kid’s back. It looks like a Bejeweled Weapon?”

“I’ve seen a Bejeweled Weapon before. I was lucky enough to see a genius disciple of the Door of Desolation using a mid-grade Bejeweled Weapon, but even that weapon’s spiritual undulation wasn’t as intense.”

“Could it be a high-grade Bejeweled Weapon instead?”

Sounds of discussion followed him.

When Ye Mo noticed that, he frowned. He had no way to hide the spiritual undulations of his Bejeweled Weapon, and the Sky Blood Spear wasn’t as simple as an ordinary mid-grade Bejeweled Weapon. It also had its spearhead fused with the Blood Saber Energy, making it a truly vicious weapon.

It was fine in the Door of Desolation, Bejeweled Weapons weren’t too rare there. It didn’t attract too much attention. But outside the Door of Desolation, it was inevitable for him to encounter greedy people.

Ye Mo ignored the discussions and sped up, leaving the Desolate City.

But it wasn’t long after he left the city gate that five people sped up and blocked his path.

There were three men and two women, all of them had their gazes focused on Ye Mo.

“Kid, hand over the spear behind you,” one man said coldly with his head raised high. He behaved like a sovereign looking down upon his subject and didn’t even bother masking his intention to rob the Sky Blood Spear from Ye Mo.

“You dare rob a disciple of the Door of Desolation?” Ye Mo guessed that these people had all gotten greedy after seeing the Sky Blood Spear. He sneered at them.

“A Door of Desolation disciple?” One of the women cried out in alarm, fear in her eyes.

“Cousin, what are you afraid of?” the man pulled his sword out and flicked a finger on his blade. “So what if he’s a Door of Desolation disciple? He’s just in the Heaven’s Strength Realm. Will the Four Seasons Clan fear him?

He turned back to Ye Mo. “Kid, we’re the five geniuses of the Four Seasons Clan. We’ve arrived today to participate in the annual Treasure Trade Gathering of the Desolate City. Since we’ve taken a liking to that weapon you are carrying, why don’t you hand it over. Otherwise, you’ll lose both the weapon and your life.”
