Chapter 120: Chapter 120 You’re Too Weak Chapter 120: Chapter 120 You’re Too Weak Since things had come to this point, there was nothing he couldn’t do. Moh Li was a man who knew exactly what he had to do. By this stage, there really wasn’t anything left he couldn’t afford to lose.

In that case, since one must firmly seize every opportunity that can be seized.

That mysterious?

Bai Zhi’s eyes didn’t blink as she gazed at Moh Li, seemingly puzzled, but in reality, she was recalling. The original owner’s memories indeed didn’t contain any appearance of Moh Li.

It was true that there were many herbs, and they were all things like ginseng, Bai Zhi thought it was because of space, but now that jade was in her hand. That jade was originally hers, but it wasn’t space, and now it was becoming more and more transparent.

So, that meant everything in this world actually had nothing to do with the books she had seen. Or to say, it wasn’t under control. Actually, it hadn’t been useful all along; she had seen them but to no avail, because many things were different, and she didn’t remember much anyway. Any sort of clairvoyance was deceiving.

Now the question arose, why had Moh Li and the others come here? Was it because of Chonglou or that old man?

“You’re here for Chonglou? That is, the seven-leafed Solomon’s-seal, you found it, right?”

Almost instantly, Bai Zhi thought of that food-loving old man, so that’s why he asked her to sell him steamed dumplings and canned food, should have been for him, right?

“Has anyone ever told you, you shouldn’t know too much?”

Moh Li did not deny it. He hadn’t expected Bai Zhi to guess so quickly, but since he had decided to enlist Bai Zhi’s help, naturally he wasn’t afraid of her knowing.

“Oh, they have, but I feel like there’s nothing you can really do to me, you’ll still have to ask for my help. There’s a lot prepared, are you sure you can remember it all?”

Bai Zhi really didn’t take his words seriously because he really did seem, weak…

Bai Zhi’s gaze was too obvious, that kind of look that simply didn’t find him the least bit threatening.

This made Moh Li very angry. Did he really look that harmless? Logically, if he gave off such a vibe, he should be pleased, but at this moment, he was just furious and wanted to prove to Bai Zhi that she had underestimated him.

So he moved, walking straight towards Bai Zhi, trying to grab her hand.

He thought that Bai Zhi would dodge, but the girl merely blinked, let him grab her hand, still with that unexpectedly calm demeanor.

“Aren’t you afraid of what I might do to you? You might be strong, but you’re still just a girl. Don’t trust others too much, understand?”

Moh Li was telling Bai Zhi, and also reminding himself, that he just wanted to teach her a lesson: strangers, especially unfamiliar men, regardless of being boys, young men, or old men, it was all the same.

He squeezed hard.

In the past, Moh Li had also been required to practice self-defense techniques, so an average person was really no match for him, and of this strength, naturally, was not comparable to that of an ordinary child.

But there’s a saying, isn’t there? In the face of absolute power, any technique is just for show, like now, with Bai Zhi feeling as if he was merely playing a game.

No strength at all, and so slow…

The original owner, after many years, had attained a speed not easily matched by ordinary people. By nightfall, the original owner could run exceptionally fast, because since their childhood, Bai Zhi’s grandmother had often told a story.

In the depths of this great mountain, there resided a mysterious mountain hall…

At that time, the expression on grandmother’s face had always remained in the original owner’s memory. So, she was scared…

But later, Bai Dan told her that it was nothing more than a mere “blind” “eye” “hall”.

Now, Bai Zhi no longer saw it that way. Whether it was legend or just a story was truly uncertain.

If the blind eye technique had appeared, what else in these mountains couldn’t be possible?

Passing the Self-owned Mountain in the village would mean entering the deep mountains. All the adults said you mustn’t go further, for if you did, you would disappear.

It was true disappearance because those vast mountains connected to desolate, uninhabited areas. There had been people who went further in pursuit of more bamboo shoots and never came back, and there were also large animals.

So, they were forbidden from going.

However, there were always those who wanted to try, and likewise, always some who disappeared.

Bai Zhi felt that it was truly curious how a mysterious and forbidden place, one which caused disappearances, only piqued people’s curiosity all the more, especially those with hot blood running through their veins.

How interesting.

Moh Li kept on increasing his strength, but Bai Zhi had hardly any reaction, looking as if she was still distracted, which infuriated him. The next moment, Bai Zhi finally showed a response.

“You’re too weak.”

Bai Zhi reached out and grabbed Moh Li’s hand, giving him a slight smile.

Moh Li was stunned for a moment and then with a light push, he fell over. He was certain it was only a light touch.

“You…”

Moh Li’s eyes widened. How could this girl be so strong?

Bai Zhi slowly approached Moh Li, her carrying basket on her back making her look particularly small, sometimes even causing her to be overlooked, yet here she was, so strong and quick, she…

“What to do, it looks like you’ve uncovered my secret, should I?” Bai Zhi made a throat-slitting gesture while rolling her eyes and sticking out her tongue. It was somewhat creepy.

“You wouldn’t.”

Moh Li stood up, quickly regaining his composure after a moment of surprise, as if the person who had just shown a look of astonishment wasn’t him.

He calmly dusted off the dirt and then turned to Bai Zhi.

“Just tell me, I’ll remember it all.”

At that moment, he truly paid full attention to this girl.

The first time, she had saved them and then accepted money.

The second time, he bought food and again she took money.

The third time, although she was smiling, there was no warmth in her eyes, she coolly hit someone.

And now, he realized, she truly should not be underestimated, yet it was this same her who had always been bullied.

It truly seemed impossible.

Perhaps, she was like him, always playing a role. But what of it?

It had nothing to do with him, as long as they could cooperate. That would still be fine.

Actually, the test just now had been meaningful.

It was a test, he really wanted to know if she truly didn’t care about Ouyang. Or if, like someone with eyes only for Ouyang, she had a similar sentiment.

Clearly, she did not.

That was good because he didn’t want to make a single misstep, even though he could always rethink his strategy, but who liked complications?

“Alright then, remember it well. First of all, the roosters of the last three years, and the basics like green onions, ginger, garlic, and…”

Bai Zhi rattled off a long list not caring whether he remembered it all.

“That’s it. Tomorrow at this time, I’ll be here. See you then.

It’s Moh Li, right? Remember to bring the money.”

Bai Zhi was looking forward to seeing if she would meet someone she knew tomorrow. She was really looking forward to it.

As for Moh Li, he really was weak.

Later on, someone asked her what her first impression of him was.

A somewhat cute little brother.

The second impression.

Exceptionally weak.
