Chapter 680: Chapter 78 About Knight_2
They naturally assumed that after Xu Mo had heard the news, he’d returned to work at the library, where it was now safe.
“Mm-hmm,” Xu Mo nodded.
“You missed quite a show, the company’s Guardian Knight was so cool,” the girl said.
“I’ve already heard about it,” Xu Mo asked, “None of you know who he is?”
The girl shook her head, “Miss Elizabeth must know. I suspect Miss Elizabeth is smitten. With a knight like that, who wouldn’t fall in love? He must be really handsome, I wish I had a knight like that too.”
“You do, in your dreams,” another girl teased, laughing.
“Don’t you wish you had one?”
“Of course, who wouldn’t fall for such a knight,” the other girl replied.
Xu Mo looked at the two girls engaging in conversation, you’re both so not normal!!
“How about considering me?” Xu Mo said weakly.
“You?” the girl looked at Xu Mo.
“To be your knight!” Xu Mo said with a strange look in his eyes.
The two girls, seeing the look in Xu Mo’s eyes, seemed to realize something.
“Pah, scumbag!”
“Shameless!”
The girls cursed.
Xu Mo scratched his head, feeling somewhat innocent, wasn’t it you who said you wanted a knight like me??
Women, huh.
At that moment, a figure approached from afar. Xu Mo glanced out of the corner of his eye, then quietly lowered his head to read a book, even voicing the words out loud.
Zero sat beside Xu Mo, looking annoyed, having just seen him flirting with girls!
“Zero, you’re here,” Xu Mo said, pretending he’d just noticed, and looked up at Zero with a smile.
This liar, pretending he didn’t see her?
Zero was a bit upset, though she’d read ‘Empress of the Empire’, she knew she had to be magnanimous and consider the great things Xu Mo was doing.
Xu Mo was helping Eliza, for the company’s sake.
But still, who allowed him to be so handsome?
Protecting Eliza, he had never done that for her.
Hmph!
She was not happy!!
Zero didn’t pay him any attention.
“Zero, what’s wrong, who upset you?” Xu Mo blinked, something was off with the female devil.
“Knight,” Zero said. Everyone was talking about how Xu Mo was now Eliza’s Guardian Knight. On her way here, she’d heard plenty of such whispers.
“Ahem…” Xu Mo coughed as he looked at Zero, when had the female devil become so humorous?
Knight?
“Present,” Xu Mo said.
“???” Zero blinked at Xu Mo.
Present?
“Weren’t you calling me?” Xu Mo asked, Zero looked at him with a strange expression.
“When did I call you?” Zero said.
“My respected Queen Zero, I have always been your knight,” Xu Mo stated.
Zero’s eyes widened as she stared at Xu Mo.
“Liar!”
Zero whispered, looking down at her book, but she seemed not so angry anymore.
“Zero, I will forever be your knight,” Xu Mo reached out and gently stroked Zero’s silver hair, ruffling her head, and she felt a strange sensation, but seemed to quite enjoy it, bowing her head and letting Xu Mo fondle her hair.
Xu Mo looked at that flawless profile and wondered when the Queen’s knight could exercise his knightly rights.
Some passing girls saw Xu Mo’s actions.
Pah, scumbag, deceiving Zero again!
Nan Xiangyi also arrived, showing a strange expression at the sight of Xu Mo and Zero.
Xu Mo lowered his hand and looked at Nan Xiangyi.
“Classmate, don’t you think you have bad timing?” Xu Mo asked Nan Xiangyi.
Zero stepped on his foot.
“I’ll go over there,” Nan Xiangyi said and moved to a different spot to read quietly.
It wasn’t long before two more figures arrived.
It was Ize and Carter, heading straight toward where Xu Mo was.
“Xu Mo,” Ize began, glancing at Zero.
Zero, seeing the look in Ize’s eyes and understanding his intention, was about to get up to leave, but Xu Mo caught her hand, asking her to stay seated.
“There’s nothing I need to hide from Zero,” Xu Mo declared.
“This is about Elizabeth,” Ize stated.
“Zero, do you want to go for a walk first?” Xu Mo turned and said to Zero.
Zero puffed up angrily, having just felt touched!
“If you don’t want to, never mind.” Xu Mo said feebly, hastily!
Not far away, Nan Xiangyi glanced over at Ize and Carter, her heart thumping, feeling like she had stumbled upon a huge secret.
“What’s up?” Xu Mo winked at Ize, don’t say anything you shouldn’t, it could cost lives.
Ize leaned on the table, closer to Xu Mo, lowered his voice to a whisper, and said, “When are you going to reveal your identity to Elizabeth?”
“I’ve been thinking about that too, need to find the right moment,” Xu Mo replied.
“We can’t wait any longer,” Ize said.
“Right,” Carter nodded in agreement.
If they waited any longer, it was going to be a disaster.
This scumbag!
Not even Elizabeth was spared.
“Um…” Xu Mo blinked, whispering, “Did something happen?”
The two looked at Xu Mo, incredulous he even had to ask what had happened.
If you continue courting Elizabeth, it’s bound to turn into a big deal!
“Rumors say you’re Miss Elizabeth’s Guardian Knight,” Ize said.
“Rumors,” Xu Mo said. “Elizabeth doesn’t know it’s me.”
“I’ve grown up with Elizabeth since we were kids, and she’s never shown so much respect to anyone. She didn’t even object when she heard ‘knight’ during the interview,” Ize said.
“You guys don’t think Elizabeth has a thing for me, do you?” Xu Mo got it, looking at the two of them.
They glared at him.
Xu Mo sighed, placing one hand on each of them, and said, “Relax, Elizabeth is yours. Don’t you trust my character?”
“It is mine, not ours,” Ize and Carter said at the same time.
“…”
They glared at each other and then at Xu Mo, “Not really!”
Does Xu Mo have character?
If you don’t believe it, ask the girls in the Library, who doesn’t know about the playboy.
Xu Mo was somewhat angry at the suspicion over his character and let go, pointing to Zero beside him, “Isn’t my girlfriend prettier than Elizabeth?”
Ize and Carter looked at Zero, indeed pretty, but they still thought Elizabeth was more beautiful.
Of course, they wouldn’t dare to say that out loud.
“Moreover, my girlfriend is sweet, obedient, sensible, gentle, and caring. Elizabeth, with her lousy temper, aloofness, and conceit, it’s only you guys who would like her,” Xu Mo kept talking, as they looked at him doubtfully.
Ize and Carter glanced at Zero, who indeed was quite gentle while swinging her sword!
Zero’s eyes widened, Xu Mo’s words made so much sense.
“What are you looking at?” Zero asked, noticing the way Ize and Carter were looking at her.
“Nothing, nothing…” Ize said weakly.
“You’re disturbing us,” Zero was getting upset, how could they suspect Xu Mo would like Elizabeth?
“Umm…”
The two looked at Zero, then back at Xu Mo, who gave a knowing look.
Ize and Carter understood, Xu Mo probably wouldn’t dare!
“Find a chance to hint to Elizabeth,” Ize suggested, “I’ll take my leave now.”
“Sure,” Xu Mo nodded, and the two left the Library.
Seeing them go, Xu Mo felt a headache coming on. If Elizabeth knew it was her, given their interaction these past few days, including his invitation to become a Guardian Knight, would she try to kill him with a sword?
Xu Mo felt a cold shiver run down his spine.
This is quite dangerous!
Though Nan Xiangyi was reading, she seemed distracted, occasionally sneaking peeks at Xu Mo. She couldn’t hear what they were saying, but with her own investigation and ongoing observation, she felt like she had discovered an earth-shattering secret.
Xu Mo hadn’t been in the Library recently; he had taken leave but didn’t leave school, and he came back as soon as the matter was settled.
Why would someone as formidable as Senior Zero like Xu Mo?
Wasn’t Xu Mo said to be a servant?
Moreover, that day Xu Mo had made Nilo powerless to fight back, and later when Nilo came to seek trouble with Xu Mo, Ize and Carter were among the ruckus, beating up Nilo’s men.
Blue Star Energy Group, Ize, Carter, Sorey, and Yekaterina were all shareholders, and they were all acquainted with Xu Mo.
Most importantly, today she had been observing Ize and Carter; they seemed somewhat dejected when they saw Elizabeth and the guard leave. Then, both of them rushed straight to the Library looking for Xu Mo.
This…
Could there be a possibility!!
At that thought, Nan Xiangyi’s heart raced.
“Nan Xiangyi, why are you staring at me?” Xu Mo saw her gazing at him blankly and asked curiously.
“Ah…” Nan Xiangyi was still in a daze when she heard Xu Mo’s voice and quickly lowered her head, her heart still unsettled. How could she verify it?
Xu Mo saw the frantic look in Nan Xiangyi’s eyes and wondered if she had taken a liking to him too?
The troubles of being good-looking!
