Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Leaving the Martial Academy, step into a verdant bamboo forest.

Xia Bai'an slowly pulled out the hand that was placed in Mo Che's palm, and instead grabbed the bamboo leaves that swept across his face, the tip of his nose moved slightly: "Why does it smell like tobacco?"

Mo Che's eyes changed for a moment, he stopped suddenly, and pinched a bamboo leaf with two fingers.

Ruthlessly, he moved his two fingers, and the bamboo leaf in his hand stretched out towards the bamboo forest like a needle.

Xia Bai'an was puzzled, and just heard the sound of something breaking, accompanied by a long sigh.

"Who?" she asked.

Among the rustling bamboo groves, it took a long time before a gray-haired old man over fifty years old came out.

The old man was wearing a plain white gown with blue stripes, but two emeralds the size of a thumb were inlaid on his belt. He walked casually, holding a broken wine cup in his hand, and a bong in his other hand, with a loose pipe. Hanging on the wrist, there are some wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and brows, but they don't look old. On the contrary, the pair of clear amber pupils are more and more clear.

Xia Bai'an saw that this old man had an extraordinary temperament, not like an ordinary person.

"This gentleman, isn't he a gentleman from Baichuan Academy?"

"No and no."

The old man chuckled twice, looked at Xia Bai'an kindly with his eyes, and finally took out two jade pendants with blood in them from his bosom. The two jade pieces were oval, the size of little fingers, and were wrapped by red and blue ties. , and below it is a tassel woven with gold thread, shining brightly in the sun.

Extraordinary.

Xia Bai'an was puzzled, but the old man had already delivered two things to her: "You just put them away, Mo Che knows how to use them."

It seems a little bad to accept such an expensive thing so hastily?

Xia Bai'an hesitated, so he turned his searching eyes to Mo Che beside him.

Mo Che nodded slightly: "You can accept everything he gives."

"Oh."

Xia Bai'an put the things in his purse, but he was afraid of bumping into them, so he simply took his own handkerchief to wrap it up, and carefully hid it back in his bosom.

Seeing her movement in his eyes, the old man grinned and looked at Mo Che seriously: "It's been a long time since I saw you, but you still look so cold and calm. How long are you going to stay in the capital at this moment?"

"You want me to go." Mo Che looked at him coldly.

At this moment, the aura around him instantly became tense.

Xia Baian took a breath, but saw that the old man was still smiling, and walked forward with his hands behind his back: "You are here, you will only cause trouble to others. As for revenge, Cen Yishan pretended to be his elder brother, and now he is clinging to the powerful. Climbing high and falling heavy, why do you come to the capital by yourself."

"It's more than that." Mo Che said again, but there was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, "I already know what Cen Yishan did. He took the name of his brother Cen Hanshan, and revenge is fine. But now, I want There are more things.”

The kindness on the old man's face disappeared instantly.

He hurriedly said: "You should know that staying away from the capital is..."

"Why do I have to leave?" Mo Che raised his eyes, his eyes filled with a chill, "What do you think, what kind of bullshit is this world?"

Xia Bai'an was shocked, this was the first time she heard Mo Che scolding others.

But the face of the old man in front changed again and again, and was about to say something, but a young servant's voice came from behind: "Mr. He, Mr. Cen came in, and I would like you to talk to the dean's door for him."

Hearing Mr. Cen's three words, Mo Che's body tensed instantly, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Seeing this, Xia Bai'an quickly grabbed his wrist: "I'll go and have a look."

"You?" The old man spoke first.

"From what the old gentleman said just now, you should also know the secret, and you should also know that it is not convenient for Mo Che to meet the adults."

Xia Bai'an said it implicitly, and then took a deep look at the boy, and measured his own body, his eyes sparkled, "I'm a stranger, so I'm not afraid of anything, if I can be a boy next to the old man Boy, it's enough."

The old man looked embarrassed, and stared at Xia Bai'an with some disapproval.

On the other hand, Mo Che who was beside him took a deep look at Xia Bai'an.

This woman is always extraordinarily enthusiastic when it comes time to help herself.

However, Cen Yishan is a cruel and merciless person, and he is very suspicious, but if he finds out that Xia Bai'an is a daughter, wouldn't it be too dangerous.

"No."

"can."

The two voices spoke in unison.

Mo Che and the old man suddenly looked at each other, and Mo Che raised his hand in front of Xia Bai'an: "There is no need to involve her, as long as she lives a normal life, that's enough."

"You are the danger itself. If she is incompetent and cannot always walk by your side and walk side by side with you, then what good is she?" The old man's voice suddenly became harsh, and he raised his chin slightly, looking at Mo Che coldly.

A chill flashed in Mo Che's eyes: "I said, don't do her business."

"Your business is my business."

Xia Bai'an quickly grabbed his arm, and said to him seriously, "I'm not a porcelain doll who is afraid of falling, but I just went to listen to you to inquire about the news, to eavesdrop on a corner. Besides, no matter how powerful Cen Hanshan is, if he dares to There is trouble in Baichuan Academy, so there is no need to condescend to ask this dirty old gentleman for introduction today. I am the old gentleman's servant, and with this status, he can't move me."

After finishing speaking, Xia Bai'an ignored Mo Che's irritable expression, and quickly looked at the stunned old man opposite, and smiled slightly: "The old man is so prestigious, he must be able to protect me as a servant."

The old man stared at her for a long time.

Reasonable, yet fearless.

He was indeed worthy of Mo Che.

He suddenly laughed out loud, smashed the remaining half of the wine cup, and waved his hand slightly at her: "There is not much time, hurry up and catch up."

"Well, thank you, sir."

Xia Bai'an quickly followed up.

Before he could take two steps, his wrist was firmly held by Mo Che, and he ordered with a sullen face, "Cen Yishan, it's hard to deal with."

"I'll play by ear. If you see something is wrong, please find someone to help me." Xia Bai'an nodded.

Although they didn't know why Cen Yishan came here.

But for Mo Che, since he wants to take revenge on Cen Yishan, he must know himself and the enemy in order to be victorious in all battles.

Inquiring about news is the basis of revenge.

Xia Bai'an followed the old gentleman to an empty room, changed into the servant's clothes and hat, but saw that his facial features did not look like a man's, so he quickly took out the makeup tray in the space to make some modifications.

As soon as she went out, the old man spit out a mouthful of water: "You...how about your face..."

"The disguise technique in the Jianghu." Xia Baian grinned.

"..."

In such a small village, you can still learn the art of disguise, which is rare in the Jianghu.

The old gentleman took a sip of water, and then asked her to stay aside, and then waved to the person in front of the door: "Master Cen, please come in."
