Long Yan looked at her and nodded slightly. "Please, follow me."
The group left the prison. Su Mo looked back at Yue Ying. "You don’t need to come."
Hearing this, Yue Ying faltered for a moment.
Seeing this, Long Yan said to the Think Tank following behind him, "Think Tank, you don’t need to come either."
"Lord Major General..."
The Think Tank wanted to say more, but a single look from Long Yan stopped him.
Long Yan led Su Mo back to the study, while Yue Ying and the Think Tank waited outside.
Inside the study.
Su Mo began, "If I were to tell you right now, Lord Major General, that Mo Xiao was framed, it would sound like I’m just trying to cover for him."
"So, regardless of right or wrong for now, let’s first lure the snake out of its hole. I’ll have to trouble you, Lord Major General, to act out a play with me."
Long Yan frowned. "Miss Su, please speak freely."
About an hour later, Long Yan escorted her out of the study. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Just as they stopped, an attendant came to report that a Black Panther Beastman from the North Wing Clan named Cang Lan was at the gate, requesting to see Long Yan.
Yue Ying and Su Mo were both stunned.
’Cang Lan? Isn’t that my assassin fiancé? Why is he here too?’
Yue Ying frowned and explained to Su Mo, "He probably found out what happened to Mo Xiao and came looking."
After all, the fact that he’d sent someone to the North Wing Black Market to find medicine had likely become known to the North Wing Clan.
With that, Yue Ying explained Cang Lan’s identity to Long Yan.
Long Yan immediately ordered his men to bring Cang Lan in.
A moment later, Su Mo saw the leopard being led in by an attendant.
He had a tall, lithe figure, and his black robes made him seem all the more stern and cold.
A hood half-concealed his face, revealing a sharp, well-defined jawline.
His amber eyes burned brightly, sharp and alert.
When he happened to lift his gaze, his eyes met Su Mo’s from across the room, and the hostile aura around him instantly diminished.
He even gave Su Mo a forced, awkward quirk of his lips. A hint of softness appeared in his gaze, his expression carrying a trace of clumsy eagerness to please.
Cang Lan stopped in front of Su Mo and called out respectfully, "wife."
Then, he nodded in acknowledgment to Yue Ying, who stood to the side.
Su Mo looked at the man before her, an awkward smile tugging at her lips.
’What’s going on? Are all the villain fiancés having a convention here?’
’It’s bad enough that those three troublesome guys are hanging around. Now this cold-faced assassin has to join the party? Do they think my life is too long or something?’
Hearing Su Mo’s inner thoughts, Cang Lan froze.
However, because Fei Yan had already explained this phenomenon to him last time in the small grove, he remained relatively calm.
"wife, perhaps we should return to our quarters first," Yue Ying reminded her softly, fanning himself.
Su Mo said calmly, "Mm."
The three of them took their leave of Long Yan and the Think Tank and headed for their quarters.
Once they were a good distance away, the Think Tank looked at Long Yan and asked, "Lord Major General, what did Miss Su say to you just now?"
"Nothing important."
After speaking, Long Yan turned and walked back toward the study.
The Think Tank stood there watching his back, sighing helplessly.
’That Miss Su is really something. The Lord Major General, who has always told me everything, is actually starting to hide things from me?’
Su Mo’s room.
Yue Ying poured her a cup of tea.
Su Mo glanced sideways at Cang Lan, who was standing beside her.
’If this keeps up, I’m going to be completely surrounded by these daredevil villains... This won’t do. Once this matter is resolved, I have to find a way to break off the engagement as soon as possible. A cannon fodder’s life is still a life, you know!’
"Ahem."
Cang Lan couldn’t help but let out a cough. Then he picked up a teacup from the table and offered it to her. "wife, please have some tea."
Su Mo: "...Thanks."
She took it and took a sip.
’The tea tasted incredibly bitter. It really sucks to be cannon fodder.’
Cang Lan spoke again. "Is Mo Xiao alright now?"
Yue Ying narrowed his eyes and explained, "He suffered some whip wounds, but wife has already cured him of the Beast Binding Pill’s poison. He should recover in a couple of days."
"That’s good." Cang Lan frowned. "These people from the Dragon Clan are going too far. I say we just fight our way out. Ye Yuan is waiting outside. If we just break out, what can they do to us?"
Yue Ying’s brows furrowed. "We can’t. Mo Xiao’s name hasn’t been cleared yet. If we fight our way out now, it will likely provoke a battle between the two clans. We should hear what wife has to say."
Su Mo looked up at them. "I’ve already discussed it with Long Yan. He will make the arrangements on his end. We just need to wait for news."
Cang Lan frowned. "Mo Xiao got into trouble in the Dragon Clan’s territory. Can Lieutenant General Long Yan really be trusted?"
"Whether he can be trusted or not, we have to trust him this once."
Su Mo then looked at Yue Ying. "There’s something else I need you to do."
Yue Ying’s eyes lit up, and he flashed a fawning smile. "My dear wife, just give the order. There’s nothing Yue Ying won’t do for you~"
Seeing him act like this gave Su Mo the creeps.
She frowned. "First, you..."
Yue Ying smiled with understanding. "Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to handle this matter perfectly for my dear wife!"
Su Mo waved her hand. "Just go, quickly."
"Alrighty!" Yue Ying narrowed his eyes, leaned in, and asked in a low voice, "Can I have a reward when I get back?"
Su Mo’s eyes flew open, about to refuse.
Yue Ying’s eyes curved into crescents as he smiled gently. "Then I’ll reward you instead!"
After saying that, he grabbed Cang Lan, who was standing nearby, and dragged him out as well.
"You’re coming with me."
Cang Lan looked back at Su Mo in the room. He had actually wanted to stay with his wife a little longer.
Listening to his wife’s inner thoughts was a very interesting pastime.
Su Mo leaned against the doorway, her gaze fixed on Cang Lan’s tall, imposing figure, somewhat lost in thought.
’Tsk, tsk, tsk, you can tell at a glance that Black Panther has a killer set of abs. Such a handsome guy, why does he have to be a villain?’
’If he weren’t a major villain, I would definitely take a good, long look. What a shame...’
The two figures up ahead hadn’t gone far. Yue Ying gritted his teeth in anger. ’His wife’s talent for falling for every new guy she sees is such a headache.’
’She’s always going on about abs this, abs that, but if you actually let her touch them, she wouldn’t dare!’
Cang Lan froze. Then, he violently broke free from Yue Ying’s grip, turned, and sprinted back toward the person in the doorway.
Before Su Mo could even react, a figure appeared before her like a flash of lightning.
When she saw who it was, she found Cang Lan staring at her with sparkling eyes.
Then he reached out and began to lift his robes... intending to let Su Mo get a good look at his abs.
Su Mo’s eyes flew wide. ’Wait, what does he think he’s doing?!’
The next second, Yue Ying, who had rushed back, grabbed Cang Lan’s hand.
While gripping Cang Lan’s hand tightly, Yue Ying smiled at Su Mo and said, "wife, please rest for a bit. We’ll be on our way now~"
With that, he forcibly dragged the shameless Black Panther away.
Su Mo was speechless. ’What the hell are that fox and that Black Panther playing at?’
Yue Ying clutched Cang Lan’s hand, thinking resentfully, ’This is killing me. I finally got rid of those two shameless love rivals for a bit, and now another one shows up!’
’When will this ever end? Every single one of them is so annoying!!!’
Cang Lan looked at the fox beside him, completely bewildered, unable to understand why he had been stopped.
’If wife wanted to look, he should just let her. Isn’t the first rule of Male Beastmen to make their Female Master happy?’
