Chapter 257 - Temptation Not Allowed

Bai Rouyun could guess that both had some doubts about her decision, but she would never have expected that Elder Sun began to worry whether or not she’d be unfaithful towards Li Moyun.

Although Jiang Wei was handsome and mysterious, in her eyes, he was not even a tenth as good as her husband, so she merely wished to keep him close by to observe him and gain a better understanding of his personality and bottom line.

Since Jiang Wei had decided to hide within the Eternal Shadow Palace, he could potentially bring danger and destruction to their faction, so she needed to gain a better understanding of the real thoughts that had been hidden deep within.

"Are you sure that you wish for these two experts to follow you?" Elder Sun could not help but tentatively question her decision once more. He felt a little uncertain as to whether or not this young woman would be tempted by having Jiang Wei alongside her on their travel, but he also knew that he could not sentence her to any crime she had not committed.

In fact, he was well aware that the likelihood of Bai Rouyun being unfaithful was very low, but Elder Sun had raised Li Moyun from newborn until he became an adult, and it was clear to see how important Bai Rouyun was in his mind.

So, now that the Eternal Shadow Lord had gone away for some time, Elder Sun felt the need to guard his home. If he returned and found that his wife had run away with another man, Elder Sun could imagine how heartbroken he would be.

Jiang Wei and Bai Rouyun had been assessing one another while speaking, and the air held a subtle air of tension, but Elder Sun did not seem to sense the doubt the two others held against one another.

Instead, he noticed their eyes and felt that they were ambigouous, and his heart began to beat in worry.

"Let me go and inform Mo Chu!"

Elder Sun rushed out of the hall to find Little Chu. While he was going to inform him about the new task, the main reason for Elder Sun to find this young man on his own was to warn him.

"You have to ensure that no other man comes close to Miss Bai. If Master returns home and finds that his wife has been tempted by the pretty faces outside, I fear that he might destroy the world."

Mo Chu nodded his head as he listened to Elder Sun, who had spent a long time to explain the situation.

"You should not only guard against the outside experts. Many of the members of our Eternal Shadow Palace might also be tempted by Miss. She is so pretty, and they might feel that she is suitable to raise them.

"If they manage to climb into her bed, they can use her status to gain unlimited benefits, so you can’t ignore the experts from our faction that follows.

"In fact, you have to guard against anything that approaches! Only Li Moyun himself can be trusted. Keep in mind that Bai Rouyun is the wife of our Master, she is a sacred woman that we can not even think about, so make sure that she stays safe!"

Mo Chu was still standing straight next to Elder Sun. He seemed to be listening intently, but if one was to look closer, they would notice that the corner of his lips were twictching violently as he tried his very best to avoid laughing out loud.

Although Mo Chu was aware that Elder Sun treated Li Moyun as his own son, he had never expected that this elderly man would go as far as to use him to guard Bai Rouyun whenever she approached the male sex.

One has to keep Bai Rouyun’s personality in mind, and from the time that Mo Chu had spent alongside her, he long since understood that she would never do such a disgusting thing as to cheat on her partner.

Even so, he still obediently listened to Elder Sun, and he even made a mental note when he found out that it was Jiang Wei that would follow them along the way.

Mo Chu and Bai Rouyun were close enough to have admitted one another as siblings, so it was natural for Mo Chu to know of Bai Rouyun’s uncertainty towards Jiang Wei’s identity.

When she tried to understand him previously, she had also asked Mo Chu about every detail he had concerning the young man, but in the end, none of it had proven useful.

Mo Chu knew that Bai Rouyun had a reason for the decisions she made, and he was not willing to try and interfere, so he just pacified Elder Sun and promised to ensure that Bai Rouyun would not betray Li Moyun.

He even promised that he would personally tie the two of them up, in case they had any wrong thoughts, and then drag them back to the main headquarters of the Eternal Shadow Palace for punishment.

While Elder Sun was lecturing Mo Chu, Jiang Wei was seated in a tree not far away from them. The tree had a crown full of green leaves that swayed in the wind, and he could easily hear every word said by the two experts not far away.

Jiang Wei could not help but chuckle as he looked at the tree he was resting in. The tree had green leaves, and on the leaves the scent of apricots spread, as the beautiful fruits were gathered in groups, almost begging to be taken down and eaten.

Jiang Wei picked an apricot and turned it around in his hands. He said nothing but an intriguing gleam appeared in his eyes as he slowly put the fruit to his lips and took a bit, savoring the juice that exploded in his mouth.
