AMRWFA -Chapter 205 A Sharp Blade Above Lust

How to pass the message to Ma Aotian?

This was actually simple.

One of his underlings happened to be browsing a website when he accidentally saw an official announcement. He was about to swipe past it, but the photo in the notice looked oddly familiar. Curious, he clicked it.

After opening it, he discovered it was actually the traitor the boss had just captured these past few days?!

He quickly called out to Ma Aotian.

“Boss, take a look. What is this?”

Ma Aotian lowered his head and saw that Zhai Zuo had been publicly reprimanded. Looking at the date, it was actually from half a year ago.

【Tsk tsk… I told you, that truth-gu isn’t fully reliable. He must’ve lied to you.】

Ma Aotian ignored the voice of his “grandpa” inside the ring. He already understood—Zhai Zuo probably still held onto the hope of making merit and returning to the organization, which was why he had said those things.

But now, he likely wouldn’t be able to go back.

For someone who had already made a mistake, Ma Aotian was even less worried about being targeted by the authorities. He could just fabricate some information and have Zhai Zuo pass it back—he’d probably be easily deceived.

Only after the fact did Ruan Yaoyao receive the news that the person they had arranged to “steal” the ring had been exposed, and it was even confirmed that he had been controlled by Ma Aotian using a truth gu and a puppet gu.

“It’s already confirmed. Ma Aotian really has gu techniques in his possession, origin unknown. He might have refined them himself. In other words, he could be a gu master like Bai Ling’er!”

At the meeting, everyone was discussing the situation, while Ruan Yaoyao’s mind had already drifted away.

【Ma Aotian… a gu master?】

【I don’t know. I didn’t see that in the detail page at all—did I miss it?】

【I’ll have to take a closer look next time.】

【If the gu wasn’t refined by Ma Aotian himself, then where did it come from?】

Ruan Yaoyao suddenly thought of the old man inside the ring who had been giving Ma Aotian a lot of things. It seemed far more likely that it came from him.

Also, Zhai Zuo being exposed might also have something to do with the ring’s old man.

After carefully recalling everything, she suddenly realized:

【Right… Ma Aotian communicates with that old man through divine sense. That means when Zhai Zuo took the ring, the old man must have informed Ma Aotian!】

【Ah!】

【How did I miss such an important clue?!】

While she was regretting this, those who could hear her thoughts—Ru Anzhi and Liang Shishi—all tensed up.

What?!

He can communicate with the ring’s old man through divine sense?!

Just how powerful is Ma Aotian?!

If they sent people again, wouldn’t that just be sending them to their deaths?

Even though they remembered Ruan Yaoyao had met Ma Aotian several times without revealing anything unusual, Ru Anzhi still wanted to suggest pulling his mother out of this operation.

This was too dangerous.

Ma Aotian’s danger level was not comparable to previous targets.

He could communicate with the ring spirit, control gu worms—he might have even more unknown methods.

If his mother was targeted, it would be disastrous.

His mother only had the ability of “foreseeing the future” and letting them hear her thoughts—she had no combat ability at all.

At this moment, Ru Anzhi completely ignored the fact that his mother had previously dealt with possession cases and destroyed evil spirits affecting the Ruan family graveyard.

【Ah!】

【It’s all my fault… I caused Zhai Zuo to be exposed!】

【Now he’s been controlled by a puppet gu. If Ma Aotian makes him do something terrible, the guilt will be on me forever…】

Ruan Yaoyao felt deeply guilty.

She had originally thought she should stay out of the way and not cause trouble, but now that someone had suffered because of her, she could no longer step back.

She took the initiative and said she wanted to meet Ma Aotian again.

“Mom, it’s too dangerous!” Ru Anzhi immediately objected.

Ruan Yaoyao replied, “How is it dangerous? I’m just meeting him, not doing anything. Like last time—he was picking things in the shop while I was drinking milk tea outside. I’m just observing him up close…”

【The main point is to look at the ring on his hand.】

【I need to see exactly what it is. I didn’t pay attention before, but this time I definitely will.】

No matter how Ru Anzhi tried to dissuade her, Ruan Yaoyao was determined.

Once she made up her mind, no one could change it.

Ru Anzhi could only helplessly discuss safety arrangements with the team so that she could “smoothly” meet Ma Aotian like last time.

In fact, this wasn’t difficult—Ma Aotian often went to many places, especially places with lots of beautiful women. He had even kept Liang Shishi’s contact information before and frequently flirted with her.

His messages were both cheesy and explicit, making Liang Shishi furious, and if it weren’t for the mission, she would have blocked him long ago.

But for the mission, she could only endure it and reply occasionally.

Since she didn’t know how to handle it properly, someone from the team would guide her in person.

Why not just reply on her behalf? Because it was Liang Shishi’s phone, and also because they didn’t know how things might develop later. If she handled it herself, she could better adapt and react.

Ma Aotian was not an ordinary person—he had to be treated carefully.

“He’s going to accompany his ‘Nth girlfriend’ shopping tomorrow afternoon. Aunt Xu can also go there with Shishi to buy clothes. If they run into each other, they can talk…”

On one side was his “Nth girlfriend,” on the other was a developing flirtation target. They all wanted to see how Ma Aotian would handle it.

But they thought too much.

His method was actually very simple—he never called them “girlfriends” publicly, only “sisters” or “younger sisters.”

So when he ran into Liang Shishi at the clothing store entrance with his “Nth girlfriend,” he casually introduced both sides: one was his “sister,” the other his friend.

Although the “sister” was a bit jealous and kept looking at Liang Shishi, she didn’t cause any trouble because she trusted Ma Aotian.

She even asked whether they were here to shop and whether they wanted to go together.

Liang Shishi, hoping to create a natural opportunity for Ruan Yaoyao, agreed.

Ma Aotian, seeing her agree, thought she was jealous of the woman beside him and immediately looked very pleased with himself. He generously said that whatever Liang Shishi liked, he would pay for it.

He completely ignored the fact that Ruan Yaoyao was also standing right there.

Ruan Yaoyao: “……”

【Am I getting old?】

【How can a living person standing right here be completely invisible?】

【Tsk tsk tsk…】

【As expected, lust is a blade hanging over one’s head.】

While they went to pick clothes, Ruan Yaoyao sat on a sofa at an angle where she could observe Ma Aotian, pretending to scroll on her phone while actually watching him from the corner of her eye, trying to examine the ring on his finger.

In the detail page, the ring had been described in great detail, and she thought she would recognize it at a glance.

Unexpectedly, the rings on his fingers were all very similar. If you didn’t look carefully, it was almost impossible to tell the difference.

They were similar in size and style—the only differences were the patterns and whether they were inlaid with gems or diamonds.
