413: Chapter 413 Lin Qingmeng, who was willing to kneel forever, suddenly appeared before Mo Chenxin!

Lin Qingmeng lowered her head even further and choked out,

"It was I who was blind and could not discern people's hearts. I wronged you, Young Master, and instead entrusted my true heart to a wolf-hearted, dog-lunged wretch."

"Young Master, I am sorry. All of this is Qingmeng's fault; blame only Qingmeng!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran shook his head slightly and said not a word.

He turned around, facing away from Lin Qingmeng, and lifted his foot to leave.

The most urgent task was to find a way to deal with the Sand Bandits; he did not want any more complications.

"Young Master, I know that you still resent Qingmeng in your heart. The fault for this matter truly lies with Qingmeng."

"Qingmeng is willing to kneel here forever, only begging for the Young Master's forgiveness!"

Lin Qingmeng's tone was filled with despair, yet it carried an unquestionable determination.

Now, she had nowhere left to retreat.

To her, the Chen Manor was an unshakable behemoth. She couldn't do anything about the Chen Manor while alive, let alone after death.

Therefore, she could only pin her hopes on Lin Ran.

Of course, she did not dare to expect Lin Ran to help her; after all, to go against the Chen Manor for a mere Wangchuan Fenghua Banner was truly irrational.

She knew she was wrong, and terribly so. She only hoped that before she vanished into thin air, Lin Ran would be able to forgive her.

That way, when she completely dissipated from this world, she would be able to find some small measure of comfort.

Lin Ran's footsteps paused, lingering briefly at Lin Qingmeng's words, but he soon lifted his feet and left.

Lin Ran left. Although General Li Bufan and the others wanted to help Lin Qingmeng, they would not rashly intervene.

After all, from beginning to end, Lin Qingmeng was only begging Lin Ran, not them.

If Lin Ran chose not to help Lin Qingmeng, yet they stepped in to interfere, what kind of situation would that be?

The only thing they could do was to secretly protect this remnant soul of Lin Qingmeng, so that she wouldn't vanish into thin air so quickly.

"Lin Ran..."

Watching Lin Ran walking ahead, General Li Bufan couldn't help but speak up.

However, just as the words reached his lips, Lin Ran waved his hand to interrupt him.

"General Li Bufan, there is no need to say more. Everyone has their own path to walk; this is Lin Qingmeng's own path, and it is her own fate."

"Excessive interference leads to being entangled in Karma, which is not a good thing for oneself."

General Li Bufan seemed to understand but also not, his gaze flickering uncertainly.

"What a fine 'excessive interference' and 'entangled in Karma.' I truly never expected that you, who possess the Destiny Immortal Body, would also be afraid to the point of saying such things."

A domineering and indifferent voice suddenly rang out, and immediately, a vibrant red dress came into everyone's view, beautiful beyond description, bewitching and charming, transcendent.

It was none other than Empress Mo Chenxin!

"Greetings, Her Majesty the Empress!"

General Li Bufan hurriedly knelt on one knee, bowing respectfully.

Upon seeing Empress Mo Chenxin suddenly descend, Chen Mu and the others also repeatedly knelt on one knee, bowing respectfully.

Lin Ran looked around and said with a helpless smile:

"Her Majesty the Empress, do I need to kneel on one knee and salute you as well?"

"I see they have all knelt; wouldn't it be inappropriate if I didn't?"

In his heart, he was secretly pondering: "Why did this silly Empress suddenly come? Could it be that she has been secretly observing every move here?"

"Hmm... that's not impossible. It's understandable that this silly Empress wouldn't be at ease."

"However, calling her silly really isn't a mistake! Since she's worried, why not just send some stronger Cultivators to flatten this place?"

"And to have a sudden whim and pull this stunt, she really is silly to the point of being cute. I truly don't know how she became the Empress!"

Of course, Lin Ran only dared to say these things in his heart.

After all, if he dared to say these words to Empress Mo Chenxin's face, ten heads wouldn't be enough to pay the price!

Empress Mo Chenxin stared at Lin Ran with a smile that was not quite a smile, an undefinable charm flowing in the depths of her eyes, her red lips parting slightly:

"As you wish. Anyway, this isn't the first time you've been disrespectful to this Empress, is it?"

Lin Ran shrugged nonchalantly: "Then I shall follow my heart and refrain from kneeling to Your Majesty."

"I just don't know what brings Your Majesty here on this sudden visit."

Hearing Lin Ran's prompt, Empress Mo Chenxin nodded slightly and took out a jade talisman from her bosom.

"Lin Ran, come to think of it, this Empress must thank you this time. If not for everything you have done, the leader of the Sand Bandits surely would not have appeared even now, and even this Empress would have found it difficult to track him."

"Now that he is finally willing to show himself, it won't be so simple if he wants to hide again."

"This jade talisman contains a wisp of Leader Mo Yuan's aura, which this Empress secretly stole from him."

"With this jade talisman, you can track Leader Mo Yuan without anyone knowing, thereby learning his every move."

"This Empress thinks that with the help of this jade talisman, you should be able to return triumphantly from this trip to the Koumo Desert, right?"

Before Lin Ran could speak, General Li Bufan immediately replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, we will certainly return triumphantly this time and will not disappoint Your Majesty!"

"Shut your mouth. This Empress did not ask you; I asked Lin Ran."

Empress Mo Chenxin said indifferently, not even glancing at General Li Bufan.

General Li Bufan's expression was a bit awkward; he scratched his head embarrassedly and gave a dry laugh.

"I cannot guarantee it, but at the very least, with the help of this jade talisman, the success rate of eliminating the Sand Bandits will definitely increase."

Lin Ran took the jade talisman and said calmly.

"Heh, if you cannot eliminate the Sand Bandits, you can handle the consequences yourself."

"Lin Ran, let me state this in advance: this Empress has plenty of strength and methods to deal with you!"

"Even if you flee to the ends of the earth or the four corners of the world, this Empress can easily find you!"

The corners of Empress Mo Chenxin's mouth curled into a strange arc.

Lin Ran remained silent on the surface, but in his heart, he cursed "damn Empress" no less than ten times!

"Alright, the rest is up to you. This Empress will take her leave now."

After saying this, Empress Mo Chenxin's figure gradually dimmed, and then vanished into thin air.

This was merely a Clone of Empress Mo Chenxin.

The real Empress Mo Chenxin was currently presiding over the Chenxin Divine Dynasty, devising strategies.

"Lin Ran, quickly take a look at what mysteries this jade talisman holds!"

General Li Bufan urged excitedly.

Lin Ran injected his magic power into the jade talisman. Following a flash of dazzling light, the surface of the jade talisman rippled like flowing water, eventually returning to calm, resembling an ancient mirror that projected Leader Mo Yuan's every move at that moment, and it was unbelievably clear.

The only thing that made Lin Ran feel awkward was that after Leader Mo Yuan returned to Golden Ancient Loulan, he was studying human anatomy with his three wives and four concubines.

It was so clear that it was completely like watching a high-definition live stream. Saintess Yu Luo, Yu Xin, and Yu Xi only took a simple glance before their faces turned bright red, and they quickly turned their heads away.

Lin Ran gave a dry cough, withdrew his magic power, and put the jade talisman away.

"It seems now is not the time to observe Leader Mo Yuan."

This was truly not the time; he was actually quite afraid that after seeing this thing, he might develop a stye when he went back...
