"Looks like I can't stay in Yuanwang City any longer," Chu Mo said softly.
The Fu family had mobilized all of their resources and used all of the intelligence agents who'd been in hiding for generations to track him down. Right now, in the entire Southern Region of the Immortal Realms, as long as a man and a woman walked together, they would definitely be noticed by the Fu Clan.
Chu Mo couldn't help but smile wryly. There was strength in numbers after all. This kind of stupid method could only be used by a huge family like the Fu Family.
But he had to admit that it was very effective. If he'd been a little less vigilant today, he might've been betrayed by Du Song without even realizing it.
With that in mind, Chu Mo returned to the inn in Yuanwang City. He didn't go looking for trouble with the innkeeper because it wasn't necessary.
When he returned to his room, he found Qi Xiaoyu awake. She rested her chin on her hand and seemed to be deep in thought. When she saw Chu Mo, a trace of tenderness flashed through her eyes, but then a trace of darkness flashed through them. She shook her head in distress, then looked at Chu Mo. "What do I do?"
Chu Mo walked over and gently held Qi Xiaoyu's hand. He smiled. "Just follow your heart."
"That's such an irresponsible answer!" Qi Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Chu Mo and said with a vexed expression, "I didn't expect it to be so powerful. It's constantly affecting me. Now that I've become one with it, it's too late to drive it out even if I want to. "
"Why do you want to drive it out?" Chu Mo looked into her eyes. "I think it's nice and beautiful to see you like this!"
"Hmm?" Qi Xiaoyu looked at Chu Mo.
"Because you were a little cold in the past. You're fine like this now," Chu Mo said.
"You mean … I wasn't very likeable in the past?" Qi Xiaoyu's eyes darkened, making her look quite demonic.
"Whether it's the past, the present, or the future, I'd like it no matter what you become." Chu Mo was getting more and more fluent when it came to talking about love.
"Don't try to avoid the question. Answer me. Don't you like the way things were?" Qi Xiaoyu stared into Chu Mo's eyes.
"I do, but I prefer your current appearance," Chu Mo said.
"You men … Do you all like your women to behave in private … Yes, just like that?" Even under the influence of the relic, there were some things Qi Xiaoyu couldn't bring herself to say. Blushing, she looked at Chu Mo. "Do I have to act so holy in front of others?"
"Aren't you girls like this?" Chu Mo looked at Qi Xiaoyu strangely.
"..." Qi Xiaoyu was speechless. She looked at Chu Mo, frowning. "What do you mean?"
"Just like you said!" Chu Mo looked at Qi Xiaoyu innocently. "Isn't it the same for everyone?"
"Hmph!" Qi Xiaoyu snorted and leaned against Chu Mo's shoulder. Had it been the elf princess before she'd fused with the relic, it would have been difficult for her to do something like this. But now, she did it so naturally.
Chu Mo held Qi Xiaoyu gently. "Actually, having you by my side is the greatest happiness!"
"Me too." Qi Xiaoyu took a deep breath, as if she was extremely fond of Chu Mo's scent. "With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything! Do you think … we can be together like this forever? "
"Yes!" Chu Mo answered confidently.
"By the way, what did you do just now?" Qi Xiaoyu looked at Chu Mo. "I didn't see you when I woke up. If you hadn't left me a note, I would've thought you'd left."
"How could that be?" Chu Mo laughed and said, "The Fu Clan used all their power to capture us, mainly to capture me."
"Then will you chase me away?" Qi Xiaoyu tilted her head and looked at Chu Mo's profile. "Like telling me that you're in danger … and then telling me to leave alone?"
"No," Chu Mo said.
"Hm?" Qi Xiaoyu blinked.
"No one can separate us," Chu Mo answered seriously.
"Good boy!" Qi Xiaoyu kissed Chu Mo's cheek. "Whether we live or die, I'll be with you."
"Alright!" Chu Mo nodded vigorously and held Qi Xiaoyu's hand tightly. His eyes shone with determination.
"Let's leave this place," Qi Xiaoyu said softly. "I want to find a place where there's no one around, just the two of us."
"Alright!" Chu Mo nodded again.
And so, Chu Mo left Farsight City with Qi Xiaoyu.
They left without a sound.
The owner of the inn came to check once, but didn't think much of it when he saw that they'd left. He just found it strange that Grandpa Du hadn't returned.
… …
Fu Jiushu looked at the reports in front of him, and one of them caught his attention.
"After the Du Clan of Faraway Gaze City contacted us, Du Song mysteriously disappeared. No one picked up the transmission stone. "
Fu Jiushu narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Yuanwang City? The Du family? "
Afterward, he opened the message board and directly contacted someone and ordered in a deep voice, "Fu Jin, go to Yuanwang City immediately and find out what Du Song of the Du Family has been doing these days and where he has gone. Do it as soon as possible! "
A young voice came from the other side of the message board. "Understood!"
Fu Jiushu looked at the other reports. This was a stupid idea, like searching for a needle in a haystack. But the Fu family was relying on the countless "fish" in the ocean. Without these "fish," it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. But with countless "fish," it was no longer like searching for a needle in a haystack.
This was an investigation!
It was a carpet search!
"Chu Mo … I don't believe you can escape my search!"
Half a day later, Fu Jiushu received news from Fu Jin.
"Sir, we've found out that there was a young man and woman staying in an inn in Farsight City. Du Song even disguised himself as a waiter and went to investigate. But after that, Du Song disappeared, and so did the young man and woman! "
Bam!
Fu Jiushu slammed the table, stood up, and shouted, "It's those two! Where are they now? "
"Sir, they've been gone for a long time. The last person who saw them said that they left from the north of the city. We don't know where they went," Fu Jin replied.
"Then go and find them! Gather all our forces over there! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground … find them! "Fu Jiushu said crazily." And … I'll go there immediately. I want to oversee it personally! "
"Sir, we can't be sure yet …" Fu Jin was confused. Even if Du Song's disappearance was directly related to the young man and woman, there was no guarantee that the young man and woman were Chu Mo and Du Song.
"Carry out the order!" Fu Jiushu said Coldly.
"Yes!" Fu Jin's face turned serious and he obeyed the order obediently.
In the eyes of the Fu Family and all the members of the intelligence organization, Fu Jiushu was their sky, their god … their faith! Even the head of the Fu family was not as important as Fu Jiushu!
This was completely different from the image Fu Jiushu had in the outside world. There was no comparison. And this was the terrifying thing about Fu Jiushu.
Fu Jiushu took a few deep breaths and said in a low voice, "Men, prepare the warship immediately. I'm going to Farsight City!"
"What are you going there for?" A cold voice suddenly rang out.
Fu Jiushu's expression changed and he shouted, "Men …"
