C1749 Everyone Has a Weakness
In fact, it was almost all an act. Her mind was mature, but her body had been stuck in her childhood.
This did not only mean that she was short. There were many people who were short in the world, such as Sun Tu. However, Hong Xiaoling's problem was much more serious than the latter. Her real body was stuck in her early ten years of age, and she had never developed again.
As a result, she had never truly come into contact with a man. It was not because she did not want to, but because she could not.
However, her mind had already matured. She yearned for everything that a normal woman of the same age would experience, such as love.
This also caused her to be exceptionally infatuated after hearing the story of Mo Nan and Hanyan.
She even unconsciously took her place in the story. But now, she should wake up from her dream. No matter what, Hong Xiaoling thanked the two of them and allowed her to experience a little of what love was.
After a night of rest, Hong Xiaoling bid farewell to the city lord, Tu Qin. Without informing anyone else, he prepared to leave.
She had left the Hong family for some time now. It was time for her to report back...

At the same time, in the restaurant.
Mu Ruyan, who had swallowed the Awakening Divine Fruit, cried and laughed for a long time. In the end, she was probably tired and fell asleep on the bed.
Mo Nan was looking forward to what this girl would remember, but when he found out that Mu Ruyan was asleep and did not dare to wake her up, he could only wait patiently by the bed.
Before he knew it, he closed his eyes.
A few hours later.
Mu Ruyan, who was on the bed, opened her eyes first. She looked around blankly before looking at Mo Nan at the side. Her expression could not help but become complicated.
Mu Ruyan did not wake Mo Nan. Shaoqing. Mu Ruyan quietly got up and quietly left the room. Her mind was a little messy. She needed to go outside the city and find a quiet place to walk and organize her thoughts.
After leaving the restaurant, she headed straight for the outside of the city.

Ho family.
After returning from City Lord's Mansion, Ho Jiuling was still unable to calm his mind.
Not only did that little bastard Mo get the attention of Tu Qin, he was also acquainted with the young miss of the Hong family. In this way, it would be an easy task for him to make the Ho family pay the price.
In the hall, many high ranking members of the Ho family were present. Ho Jiuling raised his head and asked a question.
"Everyone, if you have any thoughts, feel free to tell us."
Unfortunately, things had already come to this. What could they do? All of them maintained their silence with a gloomy expression. Some of them even started to sigh involuntarily.
Ho Jiuling's heart was filled with anger. When these useless people denounced him, each of them spoke louder than the last, but at the critical moment, they didn't have any thoughts.
What was the point of having them?
He could not express his anger in his heart. Later, he looked at Ho Chang who was beside him and could not help but narrow his eyes. "You are the future master of the family. You should have some ways to deal with him, right?"
The future family head?
Ho Chang, who was standing at the side, didn't think of anything. His heart was filled with jealousy towards Mo Nan. Why was this bumpkin able to obtain the recognition of the Hong family's eldest daughter?
Suddenly, when he heard Ho Jiuling admit for the first time that he was the candidate to become the future head of the He family, Ho Chang instantly regained his senses. Then, a sinister look flashed across his eyes. Without batting an eyelid, he said:
Without batting an eyelid, he said, "Since the Patriarch has asked, I will say a few words. I hope that the Patriarch can point it out."
Ho Jiuling waved his hand casually. As long as there was a way, he would try it even if he was not mature enough.
Ho Chang said,
"I think, as a dignified Ho family, there is no need for me to lower my head and admit my mistakes," Ho Chang said.
"Hmm?"
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples. All the higher ups in the hall raised their heads and looked at him in confusion.
One had to understand that today, they had come to discuss how to turn the conflict between them and Mo Nan into a friendship. Now that Ho Chang was going to turn the tables on them, they were naturally surprised.
"Go on." Ho Jiuling's interest was piqued as well. He turned his head and said in surprise.
Ho Chang smiled and continued, "Be it the City Lord or the young lady from the Hong family, they are both very close to each other. As a matter of fact, none of us can tell what their relationship is."
"The Ho family is the biggest clan under the City Lord's Mansion of Liehyang City. If the situation is still unclear, apologize to a junior. If word gets out, what will outsiders think of the Ho family?"
"If you want me to say it, instead of apologizing, I might as well think of a way to kill this kid. In any case, just by looking at himself, a mere Martial Sovereign isn't a big deal."
As long as this kid died, Whether it was Tu Qin or Hong Xiaoling, They wouldn't turn against the Ho family for the sake of a dead man.
In short, he just didn't want to see Mo Nan still alive and continue jumping around in the Liehyang City.
Ho Jiuling followed his train of thought and thought for a moment. He shook his head and said,
"Yes, he is a Martial Sovereign warrior, but once they fight, his performance is no less than a Martial Saint warrior. If the City Lord's Mansion sensed something, they would rush over immediately..."
In short, he felt that Ho Chang's method was not feasible.
Ho Chang immediately squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Then let him not dare to do anything. He can only be manipulated by the Ho family."
Hearing this, everyone in the hall raised their heads curiously, wanting to hear what kind of method Ho Chang had come up with.
But before Ho Chang could say anything, a Martial Sovereign guard suddenly ran into the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he immediately bowed to Ho Jiuling and said quickly.
"Chief, the spies near the city gate have just reported that the woman who was captured by the Ho family has just left the city."
0
Ho Jiuling waved his hand casually and told him to leave.
Ho Chang laughed happily. "Everyone has a weakness. That kid's weakness is very obvious. It all depends on how the master thinks if we can kill him in one fell swoop."
... ""
Ho Jiuling was not stupid. He knew what Ho Chang wanted to do, but he was still hesitating.
However, he did not hesitate for too long. He gave Ho Chang a gratified look. After that, Ho Jiuling patted the table beside him and said in a deep voice,
Second brother, immediately bring someone out of the city and bring that woman back for me. You must be careful. You must not let anyone witness this."
"You go too." Feeling worried, Ho Jiuling reminded Ho Chang again.
"Yes." Ho Chang immediately cupped his hands and agreed. A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his eyes.

Two hours later.
There was no one on the tree-lined path outside the city. Mu Ruyan was wandering back and forth on the path in a daze. She did not have the heart to care about anything else.
She had indeed thought of something.
However, it was not what Mo Nan was looking forward to. In fact, it was not what she wanted to remember.
However, at least she understood that Mo Nan did not tell her the truth. In fact, she did not have that kind of relationship with this man.
However, Mu Ruyan hesitated and wondered whether she should tell her the truth or not.
Initially, she wanted nothing more than to cut ties with Mo Nan on this matter. However, when it really happened, she realized that she had already fallen in love with the feeling of being cared for.
A certain someone kept busy in front of her. Despite being so tired, he still looked happy. It gave her a feeling that she had never experienced before.
It was to the point that when she recalled some of the things that happened after that, unknowingly, there was even some jealousy in her heart...
