40: Chapter 40 Mo Xingye 40: Chapter 40 Mo Xingye Back in Mirror World, Lin Xing’s mind was still reminiscing about his encounter with Mo Xingye.

…

In the activity room.

Mo Xingye looked at Lin Xing seriously and whispered, “I told you someone was after me, they’re already here, everyone here is one of them.”

Lin Xing looked helplessly at Mo Xingye and said, “I know, but could you please get off the table first?”

Lin Xing then glanced at the nurse beside him and asked, “Is she suffering from delusions of persecution again?

How has her condition worsened so much?”

The nurse, fully dressed in protective gear, cautiously advised, “Lin Xing, could you put the wrench down first?

We can talk it out slowly.”

Lin Xing replied calmly, “It’s just a wrench with a chain, not a weapon.

You saw how agitated she just was; I’m using this for self-defense.”

Meanwhile, Doctor Chu persuaded from the other side, “Both of you, stop messing around.

Mo Xingye, come down from the table first, Lin Xing, put the wrench away!”

She then turned to the nurses and security guards and said, “You all go out, I can stay here alone.”

The security guard hesitated, “Doctor Chu, isn’t it too dangerous for you alone?” He glanced at Lin Xing and Mo Xingye, who were confronting each other, and thought, “It probably wouldn’t be illegal for these two to kill someone.”

Doctor Chu insisted, “Everyone out, crowding here will only make the patient too tense.”

Seeing the security guards and nurses leave one by one, Mo Xingye seemed to calm down somewhat and jumped off the table, her body still clanking with chains.

Toward the balcony, Jiang Hong, who was tied to the bed, looked at Mo Xingye covered in chains and then at Lin Xing, who still held the wrench, and was somewhat shocked.

“When did Lin Xing come to understand the inheritance so quickly?”

Watching the security guards rushing out of the activity room, Jiang Hong couldn’t help but stretch out his hand and said, “What about me?”

Seeing Jiang Hong being quickly wheeled out by the nurse, Doctor Chu reached out to Lin Xing, “Give me the wrench.”

Taking the wrench, Doctor Chu felt its weight suddenly sink her hand, almost dropping it to the floor.

Collecting herself, Doctor Chu looked at them and said, “Alright, if you have anything to say, say it calmly, don’t resort to violence.

Otherwise, the security outside will shoot you with tranquilizers and lock you up, and you wouldn’t want that, would you?”

Lin Xing asked, “Mo Xingye, do you know a woman with the same name as yours?”

Mo Xingye replied, “That’s my stage name.

I can use this name, and so can others.”

Lin Xing then asked, “Do you know of Tianqing Building?”

Mo Xingye’s eyes lit up, “You know Tianqing Building?

Have you been there for…services?”

Lin Xing shook his head and said, “I’m asking if you know of another Mo Xingye in Tianqing Building besides you.”

Mo Xingye looked at Lin Xing strangely, as if looking at a fool, “Which brothel would have two girls using the same stage name?”

Lin Xing then asked, “Do you know Commander Zhang?”

Mo Xingye’s expression suddenly changed and she glared at Lin Xing, “Are you sent by Commander Zhang?

You are here to capture me!”

She roared angrily, and a burst of tendon and bone-cracking sounds erupted from her body as she charged toward Lin Xing.

Lin Xing quickly braced himself while mentally triggering a small trip at her feet.

Considering that Mo Xingye was clad in a straitjacket and bound by chains, she was easily toppled to the ground by Lin Xing’s move.

She screamed, about to roll over and continue the fight, when a surge of electricity coursed through her collar into her body, causing her to stiffen and tremble uncontrollably.

Doctor Chu hurried forward to soothe her but was filled with deep doubts, “Who is Commander Zhang?

They hadn’t discussed this beforehand, how did it seem like both knew?

Could this be some kind of inside joke I’m not aware of?”

Although Mo Xingye calmed down a bit under Doctor Chu’s comforting, Doctor Chu still shook her head at Lin Xing, “Her emotions are very unstable now, you can’t provoke her anymore.”

Lin Xing nodded, indicating that he understood; after all, he had nearly finished his questioning.

Looking at Mo Xingye collapsed on the ground, Lin Xing said, “You don’t have to be afraid anymore.

The people who captured you won’t be able to chase you here.

Just focus on getting better.”

Mo Xingye, as if he hadn’t heard, just looked at Chu Qingxin and murmured, “You must be careful.

Commander Zhang specializes in capturing beautiful women, like you, so beautiful, you shouldn’t venture out…”

Inside the Commander Mansion.

As Lin Xing walked, he thought to himself, “Could it be that Mo Xingye came to the present world by accident?

Then Tianqing Building discovered Mo Xingye was missing and found another woman to replace her?”

Although he had some guesses, they were still just suppositions with many gaps and assumptions, leaving Lin Xing still half in the dark about the truth.

Having been missing for a day, Lin Xing returned to his chamber, where the servants hurriedly greeted him, only to be dismissed by him.

Lin Xing looked around the room and spotted Mo Xingye sitting at the desk reading.

Upon seeing Lin Xing, she stood up and said, “Mr.

Lin, you’re back?”

Lin Xing simply watched Mo Xingye, then suddenly said, “If you leave the Marshal Mansion, would Commander Zhang capture you again?”

Seeing that she did not respond, Lin Xing waved his hand and said, “Forget it.

If you want to stay here, stay; if you want to go out and find a job, feel free, it’s up to you.”

After he finished speaking, he didn’t concern himself further with the matter and went to the desk to practice the Heart Clarity Spell.

Mo Xingye watched Lin Xing leave, thinking to herself, “Is he playing cat and mouse?”

Just then, a crying sound suddenly resonated in Lin Xing’s mind—it was Yiyi’s voice.

“Wuwuwu, Lin Xing.

You must come to save me quickly!

I am going to be killed!”

A freshly washed cat toy was being hung up, continuously dripping water.

“This filthy woman washed me several times.

Put me down quickly; I am going to die.”

Lin Xing quickly stepped forward and wrung the toy hard, instantly squeezing out a large amount of water.

The twisted Yiyi let out a scream, “Don’t wring, don’t wring, it’s terrifying!”

Standing nearby, Mo Xingye explained, “Mr.

Lin, I heard that the Commander loves cleanliness and detests dirt.

Seeing your toy was dirty, I washed it.”

Lin Xing lit a candle and placed it near the toy to help dry it, while saying, “Sigh, you don’t have to wash this toy anymore.

No matter how much it’s washed, it will still get dirty.”

Yiyi angrily said, “Where am I dirty?

I sunbathe every day, otherwise I would have already become moldy.”

Mo Xingye curiously said, “Mr.

Lin, aren’t you afraid of the Commander?

I heard that everyone in the mansion is clean and tidy because they fear the Commander’s anger.”

Lin Xing casually said, “Why should I be afraid of him?

I’ve tried assassinating him more than once.”

“Assassinating?” Mo Xingye looked at Lin Xing strangely; she had never heard of Lin Xing attempting to assassinate the Commander.

At this moment, she found this man to be even stranger.

His words were all over the place, not resembling the valiant hero rumored to have driven off a thousand thieves.

Mo Xingye sighed inwardly, “I actually do want to assassinate Zhang Tiande.”

The day Commander Zhang married her as his concubine seemed like an excellent opportunity to assassinate him, but he had unexpectedly given her to Lin Xing, disrupting all her plans.

The voice of Yiyi echoed again in Lin Xing’s mind, “Lin Xing, let this woman leave.

I don’t dare move while she’s here, it’s too inconvenient.”

Thus, Lin Xing arranged for another room for Mo Xingye to stay in, then returned to his room to continue practicing talismans.

Having not been able to properly practice his skills in the real world for a day, he planned to make up for lost time.
