Chapter 757 (A Man with a Story)
"Miss, you don't need to say that. Serving you is my duty." Tang Wei set up a stool, and Mu Ran stepped on it to get into the carriage. Tang Wei followed closely behind.
Inside the carriage, Tang Wei asked curiously, "Miss, now you are above everyone else, yet you still have a troubled expression. Why is that?"
"Fame is just an external thing, and there are many things that are beyond my control." Mu Ran sighed softly, appearing helpless. Compared to here, the Supreme Spirit Sect seems to be a better place.
Tang Wei looked puzzled, saying, "Miss, your words are too profound. I don't understand."
Mu Ran smiled lightly, "You will understand in the future."
Tang Wei nodded, and they continued the journey in silence.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Tang Wei and Mu Ran became more familiar with each other, which was good news. Meanwhile, Cang Konghong had discreetly entered the city, waiting for orders. However, he had no idea about his true mission.
Since Mu Ran visited the palace last time, she hadn't been there again in the past half a month. Everything seemed to have returned to normal, but Mu Ran didn't think so. It was too calm...
In Mu's house, Tang Wei was grinding ink for Mu Ran and said softly, "Miss, my cousin has also entered the city recently."
"Oh?" Mu Ran raised her head slightly, seemingly thinking that Tang Wei wanted her to help her cousin.
"My cousin asked me to go back with him," Tang Wei paused, seemingly reluctant. She was indeed a good actress.
"Go back? To Valoris?" Mu Ran asked curiously.
Tang Wei nodded, "My cousin told me that Valoris has completely transformed. There's a new emperor now, and people are living well there. They are safe and well-fed."
"How is that possible? Valoris didn't have the protection of Divine Steppes. How did it survive?" Mu Ran exclaimed in disbelief.
Tang Wei was also puzzled, "Yes, when my husband and I left, it was almost about to be destroyed. But my cousin told me that it has completely changed now."
"Where is your cousin now?" Mu Ran felt it was necessary to find out what happened in Valoris, as she had deep memories of the place. She wanted to understand what had happened there.
"He's at an inn in the eastern part of the city."
"Take me to see him." Mu Ran stood up directly, seeming anxious.
Mu Ran's expression reassured Tang Wei.
After arranging the carriage, Tang Wei took Mu Ran to the eastern part of the city, where Cang Konghong was already in position.
After a while, the carriage stopped by an ordinary inn. Tang Wei helped Mu Ran down from the carriage and whispered, "Miss, my cousin is mute and has an unusual appearance, so he wears a mask."
"It's fine." Mu Ran spoke softly, not caring about these things.
Tang Wei was delighted, realising that Mu Ran wasn't concerned about appearances. That was a good thing.
Inside the inn, everyone knelt down and paid their respects upon seeing Mu Ran, showing endless admiration for the Saintess. contemporary romance
On the second floor, Tang Wei pushed open a door and said, "Miss, he's in here."
Mu Ran nodded and entered the room, which was quite ordinary with just a bed, a table, and four old wooden stools.
Outside on the half-open balcony, Cang Konghong stood with his back to the two, looking in the direction of the Voidless Empire. He appeared to be missing someone.
From his back, one could tell that this was a man with a story.
Mu Ran paused, wondering if this was Tang Wei's cousin. But he seemed quite out of place... His aura felt even more imposing than her master's.
Currently lost in thoughts, Cang Konghong seemed unaware of the two entering the room. He behaved as if nothing had changed, but even in his ordinary state, it was not something an ordinary person could accept, including Mu Ran at this moment.
Tang Wei cursed inwardly. If Cang Konghong was just trying to look cool, it would be understandable because his back was indeed attractive. But he was thinking about Yue Hua; he didn't even notice them entering the room. He was failing at acting.
Cang Konghong had never been good at acting.
"Cough cough cough!" Tang Wei lightly coughed a few times.
Cang Konghong finally came to his senses. He had received orders from the Supreme Overlord to come and protect someone, following Wei Chang's arrangements.
The person he was meant to protect was meeting him today, but his heart remained calm.
Cang Konghong turned around, revealing a common iron mask on his face, giving him a heavy and mysterious aura.
Ignoring the mask, one could see his robust and masculine physique. His attire wasn't as formal, with his chest exposed. His sculpted muscles exuded explosive strength, evenly distributed and radiating a charming male charm under his tanned skin.
This made Mu Ran a little embarrassed, as no one would dress like this. Everyone wrapped themselves up tightly, and this man's overall temperament was quite peculiar. Was he really Tang Wei's cousin?
"My cousin is mute and not good-looking, so he wears a mask," Tang Wei quickly explained.
Upon hearing Tang Wei's explanation, Mu Ran felt a bit relieved. She could understand such people; lacking self-confidence, they could become distant from others to protect themselves.
Cang Konghong also saw his protected target but didn't say anything. In Cang Konghong's eyes, Mu Ran was no different from a cute red skeleton.
Moreover, Mu Ran's height was only 1.62 metres, while Cang Konghong was a towering 2 metres tall, making for an adorable height difference.
Mu Ran quickly calmed down and said, "Tang Wei, I want to ask you about the situation in Valoris."
"Okay." Tang Wei nodded and turned to Cang Konghong, saying, "Cang Konghong, this is the Miss. She wants to inquire about the situation in Valoris."
Cang Konghong nodded, took a pen and paper, and followed Wei Chang's script.
Mu Ran waited patiently for Cang Konghong to write, showing great patience.
After finishing, Cang Konghong handed the paper to Mu Ran.
Reading the contents on the paper, Mu Ran's beautiful eyes narrowed because now it wasn't called Valoris anymore; it was renamed to Voidless Empire!
They even changed it to an Empire. Wasn't this challenging the authority of Divine Steppes?
Mu Ran looked at Cang Konghong and asked, "What's the situation with this Voidless Empire now?"
Cang Konghong continued writing.
After reading it, Mu Ran frowned tightly. The country was flourishing, and they even expanded their borders.
This was...
Seeking death, wasn't it?
If news of this reached the Emperor, there would definitely be trouble. Who exactly was controlling Valoris now?
Mu Ran felt that she needed to go back and ponder on this. "Tang Wei, aren't you going back now?"
"I..." Tang Wei looked at Cang Konghong.
Mu Ran seemed to understand Tang Wei's meaning, "How about this? Ask your cousin to come to our residence and work with Wei Chang."
Tang Wei was delighted, "Thank you, Miss."
