Moon stars are rare.

Only the occasional chirping of insects broke the tranquility of the night.

Lin Mo was about to fall asleep when he heard a soft knock on the door.

"Brother Lin, are you asleep?"

Yiman's voice came from outside the door.

Lin Mo responded: "What's the matter?"

Yiman said softly, "I made you a pot of tea. It can calm your nerves. You will sleep better after drinking it."

Lin Mo said calmly, "Come in."

The door was gently pushed open and Yiman walked in holding a teapot.

Her eyes were a little swollen, like two ripe peaches, with red eye sockets, obviously she had been crying.

Lin Mo asked with concern: "What's wrong with your eyes?"

Yiman was slightly startled, then lowered her head and said softly: "Oh, it's nothing, I cried too much today, so this happened."

Lin Mo looked at her and comforted her, "Things in life are unpredictable. You must be strong and get through any difficulties you encounter."

Yiman nodded gratefully: "Thank you, I understand."

After hesitating for a moment, she poured a cup of tea for Lin Mo.

"Try the tea I brewed..."

Lin Mo glanced at the teacup, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He slowly picked up the teacup, and Yiman watched his movements nervously.

His hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of his clothes, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Lin Mo brought the teacup to his lips and was about to take a sip.

Suddenly, he turned around and asked, "Do you really want me to drink?"

There was a flash of panic in Yiman's eyes, like a frightened deer.

She quickly lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "Drink if you're thirsty. If you're not thirsty..."

Lin Mo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and said, "Okay."

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and was about to drink it all in one gulp.

Yiman suddenly panicked.

If it weren't for Lin Mo, she would have died long ago.

After following him to Butterfly Valley, he also came to his aid and helped drive away the Bai Miao people.

But now, he was actually going to cast a curse on his benefactor.

She couldn't pass the test in her heart.

In a hurry, she raised her hand suddenly.

He knocked the teacup in Lin Mo's hand to the ground.

"Don't drink!"

The teacup fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and the tea splashed all over the floor.

She still couldn't bear the torment in her heart.

Her kind nature prevents her from doing anything to hurt her benefactor.

"Brother Lin, don't drink..."

Yiman said this in a crying voice, tears welling up in her eyes.

Lin Mo didn't ask why, but said calmly: "You saved yourself and your village."

Yiman looked confused, her eyes widened as she asked, "What do you mean?"

But she quickly reacted and said in horror: "Did you know that there was a love poison in the tea?"

Lin Mo nodded slightly and said, "I didn't know there was a love poison inside, but looking at your expression, I guessed it must have been tampered with, so I was actually giving you a chance just now."

Yiman asked doubtfully, "What opportunity?"

"A chance to live."

Lin Mo's eyes were deep as he spoke slowly, "If you just stood by and watched coldly, allowing me to drink this poisoned tea, it means that you have lost all conscience and all sense. And I will never show mercy to those who are ungrateful and repay kindness with enmity."

Although Lin Mo's tone was calm, the murderous intent revealed between the lines made the air around him seem to freeze, making people shudder.

Yiman had no doubt about the weight of Lin Mo's words.

She felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet and rushing straight to the top of her head, and her whole body began to tremble involuntarily.

It turned out that he had just walked on the edge of death.

After all, she was the one who made the mistake first.

Lowering her head, she apologized solemnly: "I'm sorry!"

Lin Mo's eyes fell on her and asked, "This shouldn't be your idea, right?"

Yiman's eyes were red, and she said quickly: "No matter whose idea it was, you'd better leave here as soon as possible!

If Lao Si finds out that I didn't plant the love poison in you, she will never let you leave here easily."

Lin Mo smiled when he heard this and said confidently: "If I want to leave, no one can stop me."

Yiman was still worried and continued to persuade her: "I know you are powerful, but you have never seen Lao Si's methods. You don't know her at all..."

Before she could finish her words, the door was suddenly pushed open with a loud bang.

"Aman, what are you mumbling about?"

Yiman looked up in horror and saw Natsume Laoji standing at the door.

Those sinister eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, making her shudder.

Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged. He put down the teacup in his hand, moved slightly, and stood in front of Yiman, looking calmly at Natsume Laosi.

"If I'm not mistaken, you were the one who put the poison in the tea, right?"

"Now that you've seen through me, there's no need for me to hide it anymore."

Natsume Laoji admitted it frankly.

Her gaze then turned to Yiman. "But, I never expected that you, Yiman, would disregard the safety of our Butterfly Valley for an outsider. You really disappoint me!"

"Master...I..."

Yiman was about to explain, but was interrupted by Lin Mo.

He stared at Natsume Laoji with a sharp gaze.

"So, not only are you ungrateful for my previous help, but you're also trying to control me with a curse, keeping me under your thumb for the rest of my life? How are you going to give me an explanation for this?"

Natsume Laosi obviously didn't expect Lin Mo to ask this.

She was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "What do you want to explain?"

"Kneel down, kowtow to me, admit your mistake, and cut off one of your fingers." Lin Mo said calmly.

"Did I hear that right?!"

Natsume Laoji couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I feel that Lin Mo is a little too self-righteous.

"What if I don't want to?"

"die!"

Lin Mo uttered a word softly.

The murderous intent flashing in his eyes was as real as a substance, making people feel cold.

With just one glance, Natsume felt a powerful pressure coming towards her, as if it was going to crush her.

She staggered back two steps before she managed to steady herself.

She snorted heavily and said angrily, "Don't think that just because you are so strong, you can bully an old man like me!"

"I bullied you, what can you do to me?"

Lin Mo's lips curled up into an extremely arrogant smile.

He looked completely different from his previous humble and gentle image, as if he had a completely different soul.

In fact, Lin Mo has always been clear about gratitude and resentment.

If you respect me one foot, I will respect you ten feet.

But if someone goes too far and becomes too arrogant.

Then don't blame him for being ruthless and showing no mercy.

Seeing this scene, Yiman, who was standing by, suddenly widened her eyes, her face full of surprise that was difficult to conceal.

But on second thought, how could a person with real ability not have a temper?

Obviously, Natsume Laosi's evil behavior of repaying kindness with enmity has completely infuriated Lin Mo.

Lin Mo took a step forward the moment he finished speaking.

An extremely sharp aura instantly emanated from him without reservation.

Facing him head-on, Natsume felt his heart suddenly shrink and beat wildly like a drum.

Cold sweat was dripping down his forehead and sliding down his cheeks.

She never expected that Lin Mo would almost collapse after only leaking a trace of his energy.

It was like being in a small boat in the middle of a violent storm, which could be torn to pieces by the powerful force at any time.

At this time, Lin Mo spoke again coldly: "I respected you before, but it was just because I saw that you were old and wanted to give you some face.

But now it seems that at your age, you have really lived like a dog and don't understand any reason at all!"
