Mo Chuhan thinking that he could find this place is not surprising as he was sent to assassinate Mo Jiuye but went missing.
To confirm Nan Rui's words, He Zhiran's consciousness entered the space to check on the larval worm.
The bottle was transparent, and the situation of the larval worm inside was in full view.
That usually very quiet larval worm was strangely frantic at this moment, desperately struggling to get rid of the restraint.
Regarding this, He Zhiran was not worried at all. First, not to mention the safety level of the bottle, even if the larval worm really escaped, it would still be in her space and could not pose any threat to people outside.
It showed that the object in Nan Rui's hand was indeed the mother worm that could control the larval worm in Mo Chuhan.
He Zhiran had just withdrawn her consciousness from the space when she saw Mo Jiuye ask Nan Rui again, "How can you make me believe your words?"
Without thinking, Nan Rui answered, "I don't know if anyone has sent you a message at the border, but it was me who had Mo Chuhan's grave dug up."
"Why did you do that?" Mo Jiuye asked.
"Because I know there are many soldiers loyal to the Mo family at the border. Seeing Mo Chuhan's grave dug up, they would definitely try to inform you."
Regarding this, Mo Jiuye did not doubt it. After all, only Nan Rui knew that Elder Brother Hachi was alive. He could think of no other reason for doing this except to convey the news of Elder Brother Hachi being alive to him in another way.
However, Mo Jiuye was still puzzled about it.
"Wouldn't it be more convenient to just send someone to tell me directly if you want me to know that Elder Brother Hachi is still alive?"
Nan Rui shook his head: "I did think of that, but with you Mo family men's temperament, in order to save your family member, you would surely rush back to the capital recklessly to rescue Mo Chuhan if I had sent a message telling you that Mo Chuhan was in my hands.
If that were the case, my previous efforts would have been in vain. Therefore, I chose to secretly dig up Mo Chuhan's grave and give you a little information before using maggots to manipulate Mo Chuhan to become a member of the assassins.
Mo Chuhan has superior martial arts. I was worried that you might not be his match. So I deliberately controlled him these days to not eat or drink to reduce his strength, just hoping that you could find something familiar in him during the fight..."
Nan Rui's words could all be explained plausibly. Mo Jiuye continued to inquire about other things.
"Since you put Elder Brother Hachi in the assassination team, why did you still come here looking for him?"
This was the key.
This was indeed Nan Rui's main purpose in coming here.
"None of the assassins in black I sent survived, which would naturally arouse that person's attention. At the same time, he also found out that Mo Chuhan was not with me.
Moreover, it could be seen from the mother worm's performance that the larval worm in Mo Chuhan was still alive and well, which meant that Mo Chuhan was still alive but just not under my control.
The previous few times, I had used sending Mo Chuhan to do things as an excuse to gloss over it, but I always felt that this was not a permanent solution. Rather than letting that person find here with the mother worm, it would be better for me to take action first."
"But won't that person be suspicious of you when you come to the northwest?" Mo Jiuye continued to ask.
"His subordinate told me when he passed me a message that the person was busy with something important recently and would not show up for a few months. So I took the opportunity to rush to the northwest."
Speaking, Nan Rui began to look over Mo Chuhan again. No matter how he looked at him, he did not seem to be under the maggot's spell.
Especially just now, he had tried to control Mo Chuhan several times with the mother worm, but Mo Chuhan did not react at all.
This was also the thing that puzzled Nan Rui the most after seeing Mo Chuhan.
He wanted to ask Mo Chuhan, but considering that the latter still had great hostility towards him, even if he asked, the other party might not tell him. Therefore, Nan Rui decided to try another way.
He pointed to the porcelain bottle containing the mother worm and said, "I can now remove Mo Chuhan's maggot, but I have a small condition."
Mo Chuhan knew that his Ninth Brother was better at negotiation than himself, so he did not speak.
Mo Jiuye had long seen through Nan Rui's intention. Since the puppet worm in Elder Brother Hachi had been removed, he had nothing to worry about.
"I'd like to know your condition first."
Nan Rui said, "I hope Mo Chuhan can come back to the capital with me and continue to pretend to be under the worm's spell, otherwise, if that person finds something wrong, I'm afraid I can't guarantee my mother's safety."
"That's impossible," Mo Jiuye rejected very bluntly.
Nan Rui was a little anxious: "Don't you want to remove Mo Chuhan's maggot?"
Mo Jiuye sneered: "Does my Elder Brother Hachi look like he is under the maggot's spell to you?"
No, he did not, Nan Rui had noticed it early on.
Could it be that Mo Chuhan's maggot was removed?
In his understanding, the only way to remove the maggot was to find the breeder of the mother worm and have the breeder kill the mother worm, and then the larval worm on the other party would die as well.
But the mother worm was raised well in his hands. How was Mo Chuhan's maggot removed?
"Do you know someone who can remove maggots?"
Mo Jiuye did not answer but asked back, "Who exactly is this mysterious person you mentioned?"
Nan Rui shook his head: "I have never seen the real face of that person. I only know that he has white hair and appears before me as a different woman every time."
White hair?
Woman's appearance?
This matched exactly with the appearance of Yun Li's master that she had described.
At this moment, both He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye could confirm that the person secretly controlling Nan Rui behind the scenes was the master with white hair and a young complexion mentioned by Yun Li.
"Do you know where this person is?" Mo Jiuye asked eagerly.
This mysterious person had harmed so many of his Mo family members. Now that there was finally some news about him, Mo Jiuye did not want to give up so easily.
Nan Rui spread his hands helplessly: "I have only met that person three times. Every time he came and went without a trace. I really don't know where he is. And it was always him who took the initiative to send someone to contact me. If I want to find him, I can only wait for his people to come and pass on the message."
At this moment, Mo Jiuye no longer had any doubt about Nan Rui. If he really wanted to make trouble, there was no need for him to come to the northwest in person.
But in any case, Elder Brother Hachi could not go back to the capital with him.
Since Nan Rui could not provide any information about the mysterious person here, Mo Jiuye could only find other ways. Also, see if Third Brother could bring back good news when he returned home for the New Year.
Nan Rui did not know the whereabouts of the mysterious person, but Mo Jiuye would not give up this opportunity to obtain other information.
"Do you know if there are any other men in my Mo family who have been controlled by that person besides my Eighth Brother?"
Nan Rui shook his head: "I don't know for sure, but I overheard that person say inadvertently that it would be the day he took revenge for his beloved if all the Mo men could become his puppets."
Nan Rui was just recounting it. As for how Mo Jiuye saw it, it had nothing to do with him.
What he cared most about now was the matter of Mo Chuhan's maggot removal.
"Can you tell me which expert removed the maggot from Mo Chuhan?"
