Mo Chu waited outside the study for a full afternoon. It was not before the evening that the door opened and three men exited.

Seeing Mo Chu standing outside, they were surprised, but they said nothing, just nodding to him before they left.

Knocking on the door, Mo Chu heard Li Moyun’s voice from within, beckoning him to enter.

As he entered, he saw that Li Moyun was deeply buried in several files, his brows furrowed, and it was clear that the papers were of great importance.

Yet when he saw Mo Chu, he placed them aside and looked at him as if his report was much more important than the papers in front of him.

“What did she do out in town?” Li Moyun asked, a faint shadow of a smile appeared on his lips as he was thinking about Bai Rouyun.

Mo Chu was petrified when he saw this. Who was this Bai Rouyun to make him have such an unusual reaction?

Knowing that his Lord treated this woman differently, Mo Chu dared not be casual in reporting what had happened during the morning, and told him everything in great detail.

He even explained the drawing in great detail, hoping that perhaps his master understood more than he himself did.

“You said that the drawing said that Sister Fox missed Brother Rabbit?” he asked with a peculiar light in his eyes.

“Yes,” Mo Chu had not known what it meant, but it was clear that Li Moyun had an idea. His face was a mixture of disbelief and slight discomfort.

“You know Xue Jingyu quite well,” Mo Chu said after hesitating for a bit. “Do you understand the weird message she sent?”

Li Moyun nodded his head. “I understand it,” he said, but he did not go into details, trying to explain it to Mo Chu.

“Well then, please excuse me,” Mo Chu said, and Li Moyun nodded his head. “In the future, you will follow Bai Rouyun. Do what she tells you to do. If something happens, come and inform me right away.”

Mo Chu had already expected this and made an obeisance before leaving the study.

“Bai Rouyun. I would never have thought that it was her. So many years passed after her death, and although her name is the same, I never assumed that she would be that legendary cultivator.”

Li Moyun was genuinely stunned. This woman had been twenty-four years old when she died, but she was renowned as the most talented cultivator in the entire world.

She was an independant cultivator, but she had managed to do so well. It was clear that her talent far eclipsed the sect and family geniuses, who had to rely on the resources they were given from their backers to do well.

The Eternal Shadow Palace knew of the pursuit from ten years ago, but back then, Li Moyun was merely fifteen years old. Although the Eternal Shadow Palace was starting to have a foothold in the cultivation world, he was not willing to hunt down a single woman who was doing her best to survive.

Back then, he had truly admired her. It was also because of her that he knew of Xue Jingyu. Xue Jingyu had turned to the Eternal Shadow Palace more than once to get help to rid the world of those who had harmed her.

It was also because of this that he had once accidentally heard Xue Jingyu say some very similar words. He had heard him mention Brother Rabbit and Sister Fox.

But he was feeling an acute sense of crisis. Were Xue Jingyu and Bai Rouyun a couple? Although he was married to Bai Rouyun now, he was aware that they were not together, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He exited the study and looked around. “Someone, fetch the madam!” he called out. Moments after, a maid returned with Bai Rouyun. Bai Rouyun was surprised. She had been busy reading through an old book on how to concoct medicine that Xiao Bao had given her, when a maid came to get her.

She was at first puzzled, but then she realized what it was likely something that had to do with her behavior that day. The Eternal Shadow Place was not dumb; they would probably have deduced something already.

She was led to the study, and as she entered, she started to become a little worried. Would she be able to keep her head on top of her neck this time too?

“Bai Rouyun, or should I say Ice Phoenix Bai Rouyun?” Li Moyun was leaning back against his chair as he looked at Bai Rouyun, who had an ugly expression on her face.

She knew they would be unsure about her identity after she exposed Xue Jingyu, but he had instantly guessed who she was. This man was not simple indeed!

But she was not willing to lose out, so she just sat down in front of him and proudly nodded her head. “I am indeed the Ice Phoenix Bai Rouyun.”

Hearing her admit it so quickly, the pupils of Li Moyun contracted, and the smile on his lips widened by an inch.

“Why did you never tell me?”

“You never asked.”

“Do I need to ask for everything? Aren’t you my wife?”

“You married the old Bai Rouyun, not me.”

“So you want another wedding? That can be arranged.”

“I never said that!”

Bai Rouyun’s heart was rising fast in annoyance. It was simply impossible to have a proper conversation with this man.

Having teased her slightly, the smile on Li Moyun’s face faded somewhat.

“What is your relationship with Xue Jingyu?”
