Chapter 9 The Vanished Person

  Mò Mò returned to the nameless place just as the sky was lighting up, and the servants had already gotten up to sweep and sprinkle water. She quietly floated into her own courtyard. A mournful sound of a bamboo flute drifted over from not far away, like a ghost wailing in sorrow. Mò Mò lifted her head and saw that Féi Fēi, who had been sleeping for a long time, was holding a long flute, leaning against the pillar of the corridor, playing a melancholic tune.

  "Mo Zhu" didn't put down the flute, gazing at Mo Mo with a light gaze. "I didn't expect Qian Qing to be so ruthless, why can't I cultivate it?" Fei Fei looked up at the sky, where the azure was floating among the clouds, and murmured, "Mo Tian is dead, my great revenge is unavenged, what else can I do?"

  "Nonon, I'll return this book to you, sorry I didn't mean to read it. I know whatever I say now is already too late, but I really don't want to lose you, lose Xiao Huihui." Mo Mo said timidly.

  "There's only one person in the world who can cultivate it, and you've obviously succeeded, haven't you?" Fei Fei tucked the flute into her waistband, "I'll go see if Xiao Hui is up yet."

  "I'll go see him too." Mo Mo thought about how busy he had been dealing with challenges these days and hadn't gone to see Xiao Hui. In his heart, he still pitied the child who had similar experiences as himself.

  "Xiao Hui? Are you up?" Mo Mo saw a lump on the bed, lifted it and found it was empty. "Xiao Hui? Where are you?"

  "I'm here, Sister Mo." Little Hui crawled out from under the bed, covered in dust. FeiFei brushed off the dirt on Little Hui's body and pulled him to the washbasin, starting to clean him up.

  "What are you doing under the bed?" Fenfen scrubbed Xiao Hui a bit harder, and Xiao Hui dodged to the left and right, saying "Mei Mei gave me two crystal balls that fell under the bed."

  "Uh, Mo Zhu, I think...can't just be a nobody...do nothing. Even if it's just being a maid, I still have some skills." Fenfen didn't want to be that useless young lady anymore, she wanted to use her own abilities to support her little brother.

  "Isn't this place good enough?" Mo Mo also wanted to give Fei Fei a home, so they could live without worries.

  "Sister, MoMo sister, I want to change clothes." Little Gray said with a blush.

  Mo Mo jokingly said "Hehe, does Xiao Hui know how to be shy? How old are you anyway?"

  "It's still different for men and women!" Xiao Hui blushed. Snatched the towel from Fei's hand. Pushed Mo Mo and Fei out the door. Then "bang" closed the door. Mo Mo and Fei exchanged a smile. "Today I'll take you to Leng Yue Tang. Auntie's temple is in charge of cleaning up the unnamed stalls and warehouses." Mo Mo wanted Fei to have an easier task.

  "Yard? Where is it?" Nini heard that there might be something to do. She didn't have to rely on others for everything. Although in a small town like Wuming, no one could give her and her siblings any face. But this wasn't a long-term solution. So she came up with the idea of asking MoMo "How come I've never heard that Wuming has a cargo yard?"

  "Uh... warehouse... it's just... Mu Mu seemed to have difficulty speaking. Didn't dare look directly at Fei Fei."

  "What is it? Are you saying something?" Fenfen hastily pulled on MoMo's wide sleeves.

  "It's... the aftermath of killing someone in the Nameless End Hall. The places where people were killed are all warehouses." Mo Mo knew that Fei Fei was heartbroken inside. Because "warehouses" also existed in the Dream Palace of the past. Kuan Kuan's sleeve slipped out of Fei Fei's hand. Mo Mo turned his hand over and grabbed Fei Fei's hand.

  "Feifei" was afraid she might have some unhappy thoughts, her anxious eyes staring tightly at Feifei's face.

  "I'm...fine, don't worry." A big smile spread across his face. "Now that I have Xiao Hui, nothing else matters to me anymore."

  "That's good, Xiao Hui should be changed now too. These days he hasn't been taken out for a spin, today is just right, let him have some fun."

  "Good", but when Mo Mo pushed open the door behind him, he didn't see Xiao Hui's figure. The house was empty, the windows were still closed, the quilt was still rumpled, and the towel was hanging on the rack, everything remained unchanged.

  But Xiao Hui disappeared.

  "Xiao Hui!" The whole house shook. Fenfen wanted to call out Xiao Hui, searching inside and outside the house, but she was nowhere to be found!

  "Why?" Nini, exhausted from running, knelt on the ground and muttered to herself. Mo approached her and hugged her trembling body, comforting her by saying "Xiao Hui won't be lost, Nini calm down, it's not as bad as you think." What is more difficult to accept than death is disappearance, this kind of vanishing leaves a huge shadow on the world, if the mystery is never revealed, this shadow will continue to loom.

  From then on, Xiao Hui disappeared from our sight. It was a very ordinary day, but the rarest and most peculiar events are often born on ordinary days. For Fei Fei, it became an unforgettable day that left a lasting impression.

  One blow after another made Fenfen quiet for a while, but this period of time was very short. When we saw her regain her energy, she was already on the stage of Li Si's behavior teacher.

  "Master, accept me as your apprentice!" Fenfen knelt down on one knee in front of Li Sihang.

  "Not at all, we will find Xiao Hui." There was nothing persuasive in Momo's words that made him feel powerless. They had searched everywhere they could, but there was no sign of Xiao Hui.

  "Xiao Hui must have been kidnapped by the Dream House enemy, I want to learn good kung fu and find Xiao Hui myself!" Fei Fei's character had already been well understood in these days of interaction: even if she ran into a wall, she wouldn't turn back.

  "Master Lian would be more suitable for you." Li Sihang was about to help Fenfen up, but Xing Ruyu had already taken a step forward and helped Fenfen up, saying "Indeed, Master Lian is more accomplished in martial arts and is also skilled at teaching. If you learn from her, you will definitely make rapid progress."

  "Xing Guan Shi, I know you like Li Tang Zhu, I won't compete with you, nor will I disturb you. Please rest assured, I'm looking for Li Tang Zhu because his martial arts skills are the highest in Wuming. Li Tang Zhu, please fulfill my wish." Nini said firmly, staring at Li Si Xing.

  Xing Yu's beautiful smile suddenly turned bright red with shyness, while Li Si Xian didn't show any signs of embarrassment at all.

  "Mozhu, you decide on this matter." Li Sixing gave Xing Ruyu a look, and the latter nodded and left. Afterwards, Xing Ruyu brought Han Lin back.

  As soon as he entered, Han Lin looked at Fei and said, "Master Li is going to be away for a long time recently, I'm afraid he won't have time to teach you anymore. My skills are considered top-notch even among the nameless experts, I wonder if they can meet your expectations, Miss Fei?" Han Lin's skills were something that Fei had seen before.

  "Master Han, can you teach me the Unparalleled Under Heaven?"

  "Haha, you want to learn the highest right away, that's good." Han Lin sat down on a chair, "Let's see if you have the skill to learn it" He picked up a bowl of tea, blew off the foam, and took a sip. He looked up at Fei Fei.

  "Plop" knelt down in front of Han Lin with a thud, "Master is above, disciple offers one bow"

  "Alright, alright, from now on, let's practice diligently." He stood up and helped Nini up.

  "Yes!" Nini nodded heavily. "Master, what are we learning today?" Nini asked, looking at Han Lin's feet as he walked out the door.

  "You're really impatient" Han Lin stepped out with his other foot too, "Follow me"

  He quickly walked up to Han Lin's side.

  "Mo Zhu, aren't you going to study?" A gust of wind blew past Mo's side, and then half of his body felt heavy. Mo knew that Han Lin was hanging on him again. Xing Ru Yu also pulled Li Si Xing away. Only Mo and Han Lin were left in the hall, while Fei Fei stood outside with her head down.

  "I...don't need it anymore" Mo Mo bowed her head, trying to shake off Han Lin, but couldn't.

  "Mo Zhu, let's learn together with Fei Fei, we can compare and learn faster, don't you think?" Han Lin's entire body was pressed against Mo Mo.

  "Hey, Han, don't you think you're being too stubborn?" Mo Mo tried her best to push Han Lin, but it was clear that she couldn't budge him.

  "Hmm..." Han Lin seemed like he had something to say.

  "Hmm? Speak up quickly." Mo was getting a bit exhausted.

  "What do you think of me?" Han Lin whispered into Mo Mo's ear, his hot breath hitting Mo Mo's face. Mo Mo was a bit unstable, and with Han Lin's weight, he suddenly fell back onto the chair behind him, and the two presented a ambiguous posture. It was unclear whether it was Mo Mo's bad luck, but this scene happened to be seen by Qin Guan Shi who was about to report. As a result, another wave of rumors arose that Han Lin was seducing the new master, and Mo Mo was receiving favors from Han Lin.

  Afterwards, in front of the nameless gate, beautiful young men often appeared.
