Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 109 Dark Wolf Makes His Move

"Young master, you mustn't play around like this!" Mu Nan raised his hand in a salute and earnestly advised him.

Gu Qingyue: ......

Normally, if a child is disobedient, naughty, or lies, shouldn't you slap them on the bottom or at least give them a flick on the head? What's with bowing and scraping?

Oh, I forgot that Mu Nan is a subordinate.

Terrible.

Seeing that the young man opposite her had no intention of backing down, Gu Qingyue raised her chin, put one hand on her hip, and struck a pose resembling a teapot.

"Go ahead and tell me, I won't tell the adults, okay?" Gu Qingyue adopted the air of a head teacher.

The two people opposite him pursed their lips, remaining motionless like statues.

"Really not going to tell? Don't worry, whoever tells is a little dog," Gu Qingyue continued to persuade.

The two remained unmoved, like mountains.

"Free tasting of Wenxianglou's new products next month, free advance tasting," Gu Qingyue used her trump card. Even the most rebellious teenager is still a foodie, and she understands the world of foodies.

At this moment, she couldn't remember that she was also a teenager with delusions of grandeur.

"Really?" Mu Jinyan, being young, couldn't resist the temptation of the food and jumped out first.

Gu Yuanen, standing behind him, helplessly touched his nose, awkwardly indicating that they weren't familiar with each other.

Gu Qingyue raised her chin slightly and nodded.

“It’s a deal. If you don’t tell my Seventh Uncle, I’ll tell you,” Mu Jinyan said excitedly, staring at Gu Qingyue as if she were the new food.

"Speak," Gu Qingyue said, crossing her arms and waiting to hear what he had to say.

"Ahem------, a few days ago you went looking for Mu Dong, right? We were curious, so we followed him and his guards, but we were afraid of being discovered, so we followed them too far. When we got to the mountain, we just... we couldn't find him anymore. We've been wandering around here for two days and haven't found any trace of him," the boy said, then coughed a little embarrassedly, indicating his helplessness.

Mu Nan: ······

Gu Qingyue: ...As expected, still a brat!

Gu Yuanen: Do we have to shake it off so thoroughly?

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue gave him a very inelegant eye roll.

Seeing Gu Qingyue and Mu Nan's expressions, Mu Jinyan felt a little panicked. Recalling his seventh uncle's methods of punishment, he said that just thinking about it hurt.

So, they quickly tried to fix it.

"But you should thank us for saving you both, right? Luckily we came, otherwise, these guys would have been pretty formidable, wouldn't they?"

After Mu Jinyan finished speaking, Gu Qingyue and Mu Nan showed an even more unspeakable expression.

"That's right, thank you. You should hurry down the mountain and go back," Gu Qingyue said through gritted teeth.

"If we're not going back, where are you going? There are too few of you, it's too dangerous," Mu Jinyan said, forcing himself to speak. He had to follow the two of them to find Mu Dong, right? Mu Dong was acting so mysteriously, it couldn't be anything good.

Just as she finished speaking, the battle in the distance ended, and more than a hundred people rushed over in a grand procession, standing behind Gu Qingyue and Mu Nan.

Mu Jinyan: Does it have to be this quick to slap someone in the face?

Gu Yuanen: I was careless.

"What I mean is, the guards I brought are all experienced. You saw their skills just now, right? They can definitely help you, right?" They are all members of Uncle Seven's Dark Wolf gang, and each one of them is a master.

Although Gu Qingyue and Mu Nan led the elite troops, their skills were still inferior to those of the Dark Wolves.

Mu Jinyan continued to struggle.

That's the truth. Gu Qingyue had witnessed the battle with the Tiger Guards just now.

This group of guards is absolutely one in a million. Most of the dozen or so enemies who were killed were killed by these guards, while they themselves escaped unscathed except for a few minor injuries. This is something that ordinary guards cannot do.

They were a real help.

Now that we don't know where Mu Yun Chu has gone, the more help we find, the better.

Gu Qingyue lowered her head and discussed a few words with Mu Nan.

He turned around, nodded, and said, "You can come with me."

"It's settled! Haha, I knew it!" Mu Jinyan excitedly patted Gu Yuanen on the shoulder, who returned a very forced smile.

The group set off again, inquired about the search situation of Mu Jinyan and his companion in the vicinity, and continued their ascent up the mountain under the cover of darkness.

Meanwhile, on a mountaintop connected to it, Mu Yun Chu was being carried by Mu Dong, struggling through the dense forest.

He had two sword wounds on his back, which, although bandaged, were still oozing blood, indicating that the wounds were very serious.

"Stop...stop..." Mu Yun Chu hadn't fainted; instead, she clung to her last shred of consciousness and spoke with difficulty.

"Find...a place to hide..." After saying this, he could no longer hold on and fainted.

Meanwhile, Mu Dong, standing in front of him, had red eyes. He gritted his teeth and looked around. Together with the guards, they finally found a very inconspicuous cave half an hour later and hid inside.

After lighting a bonfire, Mu Dong looked at Mu Yun Chu, who was unconscious with her brows furrowed, and felt extremely anxious.

He touched Mu Yun Chu's forehead and found that he had developed a high fever again. Mu Dong quickly took out the antipyretic pills he had with him and gave Mu Yun Chu three more. He then wrung out a damp cloth and placed it on Mu Yun Chu's forehead. Mu Dong suddenly stood up and walked out of the cave.

"Muxi".

Mu Xi, who was on guard outside the cave, turned around, revealing a cold face. It was the black-clad woman that Gu Qingyue had seen with Mu Bei before.

The woman's eyes were icy cold, and when they met Mu Dong's gaze, their expressions became even more serious.

"I'll lead the men away from those guards. You take the master and hurry down the mountain. Mu Nan's men should be arriving soon," Mu Dong said, then turned and walked into the cave.

"Take the master away. The master needs to be treated as soon as possible. I'll go and distract those people," the woman said, gripping her sword and turning away swiftly.

Mu Dong didn't insist. They were all his bodyguards, and their duty was to ensure his safety. It didn't matter who went.

"Muxi, take care!"

Watching the woman walk away, Mu Dong called out softly.

The woman in the distance did not stop walking and soon disappeared into the dark forest, followed by five black-clad guards, and they vanished together.

Judging by the time, Mu Dong once again carried Mu Yun Chu on his back and led ten men in black down the mountain.

Gu Qingyue took a bite of the dry biscuit Mu Nan gave her with great disgust, and once again felt powerless to complain.

It hurts your teeth.

But there is nothing we can do.

Looking up at the dark night sky, Gu Qingyue was momentarily lost in thought, remembering Mu Yun Chu, whose whereabouts were unknown.

"They're gone," Mu Jinyan's voice came from behind.

Gu Qingyue leaned against the tree trunk to stand up, patted the dirt off her robe, picked up her backpack, and continued on her way with the others.

An hour later.

"Stop," Mu Nan whispered beside him.

"It sounds like fighting," Gu Yuanen said after listening intently for a while.

"Yes, there are about twenty people in total," Gu Qingyue said.

In fact, as soon as she stopped, she released her mental energy and saw the twenty-odd people fighting not far away. Sure enough, they were the Tiger Guards' secret guards.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Qingyue was startled to recognize their opponent as the woman in black she had seen before.

The other men in black wore the same uniforms as Mu Jinyan's guards, and it seemed they were Mu Yun Chu's men.

"Let's go take a look," Mu Nan and Gu Yuanen exchanged a glance, extinguished their torches, and crept towards the source of the voice.

Gu Qingyue and the others followed silently, and signaled the more than one hundred people behind them to stay and wait for orders.

If it's a battle against the Tiger Guards, these soldiers are better off not going; going would just be suicide, not worth it.

A moment later, the group realized the situation before them.

It was Mu Xi's guards who clashed with the Tiger Guard's secret guards.

Without saying a word, Mu Nan drew his sword and charged forward, followed by the twenty-odd black-clad guards.
