Chapter 625
Li Mo finished distributing the last wave of red envelopes, and amidst the sound of firecrackers and the cheers of the onlookers, he entered the mansion.
“Just now, Brother Huang sent word that the people from the Demon Sect and Lingxi Sect have all entered Qingyuan Sect, but the numbers don’t add up.”
“I suspect some of them have infiltrated other sects. Li Shidi, you need to be careful; they might make a move tonight, possibly…”
Xiao Qin lowered his voice as he spoke.
He was serious for a moment, but then he noticed Li Mo staring blankly in the direction of the back courtyard, lost in thought, seemingly unaware of his words.
“By the way,” Murong Xiao nodded and said earnestly, “Uncle Li just secretly mentioned the marriage thing to me…”
“What?”
Li Mo’s eyes brightened, and he turned his head with a serious expression.
“…” Xiao Qin had initially doubted that Brother Li hadn’t heard what he said, but now he was starting to have his doubts.
“Uncle Li told me that good things take time. It won’t be easy to enter Ying Shimei’s room; you’ll have to pass a few tests first.”
Murong Xiao lowered his voice.
“Which tests?”
“Lan Tian.”
“That’s my employee, a rather simple girl. Shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Gu Aunty.”
“My own mom wouldn’t stop me from going in. What else?”
Hearing this, Li Mo let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed like it was just a formality; a few red envelopes would suffice to let him through.
“Then there’s Master Shang.”
“.......”
Li Mo paused, his expression suddenly turning serious.
Xiao Qin leaned back slightly, almost wanting to leave, but he couldn’t think of an excuse, even wishing his teacher would take control of his body.
He thought about it but couldn’t make it happen, as Qianxing Wuzun seemed to be in a deep slumber, unresponsive no matter how much he called.
“Li Brother, you shouldn’t be afraid of Master Shang anymore, right? From the perspective of a fighter, you’ve surpassed her,” Murong Xiao said, rubbing his bald head, a bit puzzled.
Mainly because he didn’t understand Shang Wu.
Li Mo sighed, “What can I do when she rolls on the ground and plays dirty?”
“......”
“By the way, Murong Brother, your Immovable King body—would it be okay if you fell from the sky?” Li Mo suddenly asked.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine. It’s durable in that regard…”
“Can it withstand a beating from the outer realm?”
“As long as they don’t go all out, it’s no problem. Why are you asking this, Li Brother?”
“Just curious, congratulations to you.”
As they spoke, the three of them arrived at the main hall of the mansion.
“Oi, come to receive the bride! You should at least show some gesture,” Shang Wu sat there confidently, a mischievous smile on her face.
“Master, please accept this.”
Li Mo handed over a red envelope.
“Hmph.” Shang Wu weighed it in her hand, her eyes lighting up at the sight of money, but this time she remained unfazed.
“Not enough, I can’t let you in.”
“Master, don’t mess around.” Li Mo was getting a bit anxious.
“You ungrateful disciple, are you trying to betray your master? I’m going to cry.”
“Ugh….”
Li Mo gasped, realizing that Shang Wu looked even scarier than when she was in a fierce mood.
Xiao Qin and Murong Xiao finally understood what Li Mo was afraid of.
But as everyone knew, Li Mo was a genius.
He casually pulled out two bottles and stuffed them into Murong Xiao’s arms, then wrapped them up with a somersault cloud, leaving Master Zang Ai looking bewildered.
“Eh?”
With a whoosh, a bald head shot up into the sky, spiraling upward.
“Xiao Mo, what kind of trick are you playing? I’ve seen it all, and you think this little trick can…”
“That was the last two bottles of Immortal Brew.”
Before he could finish, Shang Wu, who had been standing still, dashed out of the main hall like a wild dog unleashed.
“Murong Xiao, you’re truly my best brother, so loyal!” Li Mo was touched, setting up a tent with his hands as he watched two shooting stars fly out of Ziyang City.
Xiao Qin: “......”
But Li Brother, you don’t seem very loyal.
At least today, you can’t be called a sword hero; “forgetful sword hero” would be more fitting.
The two of them quickly opened the door to the main hall while Shang Wu was still away.
At the entrance of the inner courtyard, Lan Tian waved at them.
“Boss.”
“Yeah, thanks for your hard work. Here’s a bonus.”
Li Mo slipped her a red envelope and patted her shoulder, intending to pass by her on the left.
Lan Tian silently shifted to the left.
Li Mo moved to the right, only to find Lan Tian had shifted to the right again.
“?”
Has this girl betrayed me?
“Um, about the test… I don’t want a bonus.”
Li Mo’s wide-eyed expression startled Lan Tian a bit, and she didn’t know what was keeping her from moving her feet.
“What do you want then?”
“I want… to go on a date with Brother Da Huang.”
Li Mo and Xiao Qin exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.
“Brother Da Huang is…?”
“Old Huang?!”
Li Mo used his Tianming Divine Eye to take a look and found the words “love at first sight” written in Lan Tian’s recent experiences, and his expression suddenly became interesting.
Xiao Qin’s expression was even more intriguing.
Among a group of good brothers, he was average in talent, looks, and wealth, and had no special skills. Not to mention, now even Old Huang had a girl interested in him. Do girls not like normal guys anymore?
“It’s a bit challenging, but not too difficult. However, I must remind you, Old Huang is…”
“I know! I like mature and stable types.”
“Okay, then I’ll help you… eh? Xiao Shixiong, why do you look so pale?”
“It’s nothing, let’s go.”
Li Mo successfully passed another test.
Finally, they arrived at the door of the boudoir, and this time there were no obstacles, just a tightly closed door.
Everything around seemed to quiet down; all Li Mo could hear was his own breathing and heartbeat. He reached out and gently pushed the door.
Hmm?
He pushed again, gently…
Still didn’t budge.
“Bing Tuozi, I’m here,” Li Mo called softly.
“I know you’re here,” came the voice from behind the door, his mother.
“Mom, hurry and open the door! Don’t miss the time.”
“I’m now Little Bing’s mother; don’t try to get close.”
“????”
Li Mo leaned back slightly.
The hardest test of all—could it really be his own mother?
At that moment, a voice came from inside:
“If you want me to open the door, first go find something.”
“Find what?”
“The clothes you made for Little Bing, made of sea silk. She said she hid them…”
In truth, whether Little Bing had hidden them was because she genuinely wanted to keep them away.
Because they were too embarrassing, when Li Mo asked about them later, she would just say they were lost.
Little did he know that they had been seen by Madam Gu.
Thus, it became Li Mo’s final test.
Little Li never expected that one day he would be hit in the face by such an enticing boomerang.

**Chapter 729: Today, I Can Skip Being a Child**
“Where would Bing Tuozi hide the thing?”
Li Mo scratched his head. It was broad daylight with no moon, and he couldn’t start a private conversation with Bing Tuozi.
Moreover, since it was something Bing Tuozi hid, she probably wouldn’t tell him anyway.
He looked up at his mother, hoping to glean some hint from her expression.
Gu Xueqin shook her head with a smile, “I don’t know where Little Bing hid it either.”
As she spoke, Madam Gu noticed her son’s wandering gaze and cautiously blocked the door:
“It’s not time to see the bride yet, and you’re not allowed to sneak a peek at Little Bing’s veil.”
In terms of wealth, Li Mo was as rich as a nation.
In terms of martial arts, he was invincible in his realm, with the ability to defy the heavens and earth, and his skills were hard to harm.
Yet now he found himself helpless, as the one blocking the door was his own mother.
It seemed he could only go find that item…
But just then, light footsteps sounded behind his mother, and before Li Mo could turn his gaze, he caught sight of a breathtaking flash of red.
He realized the wedding dress was very red, but it paled in comparison to the rosy cheeks of the beautiful face beneath it.
She lowered her head, her trembling eyelashes hiding the ripples in her eyes:
“Mom, don’t let him look for it.”
“You child, how can that be…”
Gu Xueqin was momentarily taken aback, as if the subjects were about to fight to the death, why was the emperor suddenly yielding?
Then she chuckled, recalling her own wedding day, watching Old Li sweat as he searched, secretly instructing the maid to put the hidden items back in plain sight.
At that time, the family had scolded her for being so eager to get married.
“I’ve already brought back the hidden item.”
“Eh? I didn’t see it?”
“I’m wearing it…”
Gu Xueqin was left puzzled.
