Mo Fan returned to the church. As soon as he entered, before he could react, Bai Tingting suddenly stood up from her seat, ran to Mo Fan's side, and as if she had suffered some immense grievance, she threw herself into Mo Fan's arms.
Her soft, extremely plump body was offered to him like that. Although Mo Fan wasn't surprised, he still felt as if he had instantly fallen into a sea of cotton.
Everyone was stunned after witnessing this scene.
Although Bai Tingting was willing to be with Mo Fan, it was said to be only because Mo Fan had saved her life. But, they hadn't developed that kind of relationship yet, had they?
"What's wrong?" Mo Fan asked.
"Please don't leave." Bai Tingting's eyes were a little red, and she looked utterly pitiful, as if Mo Fan was the only one she could trust.
"Mm." Mo Fan nodded in agreement.
"Oh, the one who said he'd complete the survey independently is back. How was it, what did you gain?" Liao Mingxuan said in a strange, mocking tone.
"Are you asking for another beating?"
As soon as Mo Fan spoke, Liao Mingxuan instantly stopped his barking.
Mo Fan comforted Bai Tingting for a while, then took out two already green detectors from his pocket and tossed them to Mu Ningxue, who was in charge of keeping them.
"Two survey points?" Mu Ningxue said with some surprise.
"Damn it, Mo Fan, how did you do that? We almost got wiped out just completing one survey point!" Peng Liang exclaimed in shock.
Although they knew Mo Fan was very strong, their entire team couldn't even collect as much as he did alone.
Liao Mingxuan really wanted to bark back, but he knew very well that he was indeed no match for Mo Fan.
Coincidentally, Lu Zhenghe's sudden attempt to curry favor gave Liao Mingxuan an opening: "Who do you think you are, the boss here? Are you the captain, always pointing fingers at everyone? Is it so amazing to have an older brother who is a Guardian Commander? You act like you're the only one from Imperial Capital Academy who's amazing all day long. What I do with anyone is none of your business! You fawn over Mu Ningxue like a lapdog, but you act all arrogant and bossy towards the rest of us!"
...
While everyone was arguing, Mu Ningxue gestured for Mo Fan to step outside.
Once outside, Mu Ningxue asked, "Did you discover anything?"
Mo Fan said nonchalantly, "It's nothing more than some things in everyone's hearts being magnified and expanded."
"Bai Tingting, you and she shouldn't have developed that kind of relationship, yet she hugged you in front of so many people. I don't think she's that fragile," Mu Ningxue continued.
"She's had a crush on me for a long time, that's normal, right? You were the same back then, perfectly fine, and then suddenly you told me you wanted to run away from home with me," Mo Fan said with a chuckle.
"I was naive back then," Mu Ningxue said lightly.
"Oh."
"I'm sorry..." Mu Ningxue's expression dimmed a little. She knew this incident had caused a severe blow to Mo Fan's family.
"You don't need to apologize to me. Even if you told me now that you wanted to leave the Mu family, I would still agree," Mo Fan said with a smile.
"We're adults now, let's not joke around like that."
Considering Mu Ningxue's current situation, talking about romance with her was simply a waste of breath.
Damn it, sure enough, good-looking women just tend to make people have unnecessary thoughts.
Mo Fan had no interest in listening further, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't get sidetracked. You called me out just to say they have a problem, right? If I'm not mistaken, they should have been bewitched by a Mind Demon."
Mu Ningxue paused at his words. She had only found it strange before, but she didn't expect Mo Fan to be so certain.
Originally, Mo Fan didn't intend to let them fight among themselves. After all, although some of these people deserved to die, there were also those who didn't. It would be too regrettable for them to die here for nothing.
They were all young talents. Perhaps they didn't have any spirit seeds or similar items in their hands right now, but at least they all still had Magic Tools and Magic Tools.
It was precisely because of excessive internal strife that they would be mercilessly slaughtered by Lu Nian and his group. If everyone had Magic Tools, the outcome would be different.
"I'll go ask Bai Tingting." With that, Mo Fan walked inside.
He went to Bai Tingting's side, pulled out the Concentration Magic Tool, and placed it in her palm. The special ripple spread out once again, and Bai Tingting's body trembled involuntarily. After her pupils refocused, her eyes instantly became much clearer and brighter.
Presumably thinking of her previous actions, Bai Tingting's cheeks instantly flushed red, and she didn't even dare to look into Mo Fan's eyes.
"It's fine, since big brother is so excellent, it's normal to have a crush on me. I made you recover because I wanted to ask you, did that idiot go anywhere?" Mo Fan asked.
Bai Tingting was originally very shy, but hearing what Mo Fan said, she rolled her eyes in embarrassment and indignation. However, she still told Mo Fan the exact location where Ming Cong had gone.
Ming Cong had mentioned it when he came back with water.
Mo Fan nodded in agreement, then stood up and looked at the people sitting silently, saying, "There's a Mind-Bewitching Demon in this vicinity. I'm not sure of its exact strength. However, it should be able to amplify some hidden things deep within our minds. I'm going to eliminate the demon now. You all try to stabilize your minds and don't start fighting among yourselves."
"A Mind-Bewitching Demon?"
Everyone was stunned to hear what Mo Fan said.
And Ming Cong seemed to find an opportunity to save himself, hastily saying, "Yes, I was bewitched."
"You were bewitched, that's true, but your intentions were also impure, that's also true." Mo Fan naturally didn't tolerate such a person who went against him.
Ming Cong:...
Liao Mingxuan's expression also turned a bit unpleasant. After all, the words he had just spoken would absolutely not have been said if he had been rational.
But what could he do? He could only suppress his displeasure and endure it.
"I'll go with you," Zhao Manyan said.
"Do you have any Magic Tools or items that resist mind-type magic?" Mo Fan asked in return.
"Yes." Zhao Manyan nodded.
He was, after all, the young master of the wealthiest family in the country; what Magic Tools or Magic Tools wouldn't he have?
"Then let's go."
Immediately, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan left the place.
As they came out, Zhao Manyan saw Mu Ningxue was also there.
"Goddess Mu, are you going too?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"My mind is clear; I only want to solve the current problem. It's fine even if I'm bewitched." Mu Ningxue had just learned about the demon's situation and said directly.
Mo Fan was also well aware of this.
He still remembered that some netizens in later generations commented that Mu Ningxue had feelings for Mo Fan at this time.
What feelings!
It could be said that if it weren't for Lu Nian's desperate rescue, neither Mu Ningxue nor Mu Ningjiao, or even Bai Tingting, would have considered him more than just a friend.
When he saved them from the jaws of demons, that was a different concept. But compared to Mu Ningjiao and Bai Tingting, Mu Ningxue was spoiled. Yet she always acted as if she had no interest in him.
