Chapter 282 - Trapped, Mo Xuetong Was in Danger (1/2)

It was a small tent. Because it was temporarily set up, there was only a table, a few chairs. There were several baskets of fruits and sunflower seeds. It was so simple that she saw them all in a glance. She arrived a little early and there was no one else.

Mo Lan wiped the table and found it turned out to be clean. Therefore, she helped Mo Xuetong sit down. “Miss, there’s no one else. I’ll go check at the door to see if I can get a cup of tea for you.”

Mo Xuetong couldn’t help but chuckle. “How will there be tea?” She remembered on their way here, they didn’t even see a few servants. It was really quite here, which was also dangerous. However, to figure out the other party’s ident.i.ty, she had to risk herself.

The tent was set up on a small hill. If they waved hands from here, someone might spot them. “Miss, should I check at the door? Perhaps I’ll find one.”

Since Mo Lan insisted, Mo Xuetong had to nod approval. Anyway, Mo Lan wouldn’t go too far; she would only get to the door.

Mo Xuetong picked up an orange from the table and slowly peeled them while carefully listening to the surroundings.

It was quiet outside, and the human voices sounded scattered in the distance; she couldn’t quite make out what they were saying. Qin sound varied from slow and quick. Because of the Qin sound from all directions, she didn’t find it quite pleasing to the ear. In the end, she only felt noisy! The Qin gathering Bai Yihao organized was really disordered. However, it was just because of the disorder that everyone could relax at the gathering.

They could throw away all the rules they had to obey in the usual days.

They could talk to whoever they liked, and they could play aloof in front of anyone they disliked. It didn’t matter if one called them difficult, lofty, or true to themselves, today, these features all belonged to scholars. All of the other people, instead of viewing you with a sophisticated eye, would only think you’re a real scholar.

This must be why those Qin gatherings Bai Yihao organized turned out to be successful!

He made use of the weakness in humanity and used all kinds of means to let down people’s guard. In this way, compared with in the rigid daily lives, something could be done easier. In such a relaxing atmosphere, people would let their guard down. That was how the human heart worked. Factors like environment and vibe could all relax people.

Mo Xuetong’s lips raised in a small curve. She was about to put the peeled orange into her mouth. Suddenly, she put it down and her face paled. She listened carefully and suddenly rose up. Nonetheless, before she got back on her feet, her body heavily collapsed. Her vision turned blurry and she could hear familiar laughter ringing by her ear.

“Such a vigilant girl! Relax, don’t be afraid! You’ll feel better once you get there!”

“Who is it? Who is trying to hurt me and meanwhile comforting me!” Before she could sort it out, she soon fell into heavy darkness.

Flames, numerous flames soared up!

Trapped in the sea of flames, she lay on the ground, blood dripping down her forehead. She couldn’t feel the burning pain on her body and only stared at two people outside the fire. They were Mo Xuemin and Sima Lingyun, who were dressed in red wedding garments. Though looking awkward as well, they were not hurt.

Mo Xuemin watched her struggle in the fire with a sneer and at the same time dragged Sima Lingyun’s hand. The two seemed to be in a quarrel. She couldn’t hear them. “Will Sima Lingyun try to save me or something?” Mo Xuetong smiled coldly and fingered a burning stick beside her. Despite the pain, she grabbed it and flung it at Mo Xuemin.

She could no longer see anything and all she heard was a drone. Blood of tears started to ooze out of her bright eyes. However, she seemed to see a man das.h.i.+ng into the fire. For some unknown reason, she felt she knew him. “What is he doing here? Save me?”

It was too late!

It was too late to do anything!

In the dark, Mo Xuetong jerked awake and started panting as if she could still see that red sea of fire and feel that burning pain that could almost rip her. Her hands and feet were twitching and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. She hadn’t had such a dream in a long time. Ever since she woke up from her resurrection, she had been having nightmares every day; then, they occurred less until she finally ceased having them.

It never occurred to her that she would dream it now, and it should be slightly different from before!

A man showed up in fire and rushed to save her!

She even could vaguely hear the man calling her! Did she miss something from her last life…?

She slightly moved her numb hands and feet.

Her hands crept over the couch but stopped because a man’s voice rang. “Has she waken up?”

It sounded like someone opened the door. After a squeak in the dark, she felt light fall on her body. She instantly shut her eyes, afraid of opening them and got into trouble.

Another man’s voice rang. “No. It’s still early. The drug effect can’t wear off so soon.” Afterward, the light vanished; the door was closed again.

Mo Xuetong slowly opened her eyes. Previously, when she put a segment of orange into her mouth, she suddenly remembered that Mo Lan wasn’t outside the tent. She heard everything except Mo Lan. Mo Lan was going to get a cup of water for her. How could there be no sound at all? Even if Mo Lan walked out, there would still be footsteps.

At the moment when she felt something went wrong, she held her breath right away. Therefore, though she did pa.s.s out then, later, she woke up earlier than they expected.
