The Left and Right Guardians were the first to come out and greet him.
They were guards assigned to Mo Chengyu by the Military Department, and within the command structure, they still fell under Mo Siâs jurisdiction.
"You two donât need to greet me first. Mo Chengyu, you come here."
"Iâm ordering you as your older brother. Get down here."
Mo Chengyu: ...
There was no escape now. She could only trudge sheepishly down the stairs.
Mo Si sat on a stool in the living room. "Now, report on the results of your one-and-a-half-month recuperation here."
"What have you done each day? Have you been following the doctorâs orders? Have you been taking your medicine on time?"
"Whoa, Big Brother, are you serious? You just got here and youâre already interrogating me like this. Youâre scaring me."
Mo Chengyu pouted. "Besides, what kind of âresultsâ can you get from resting? It is what it is. You already know that."
"No results?" Mo Si looked up at Zuo Kai, who was standing to the side. "You report. In the past month and a half, has your commanding officer followed her doctorâs orders? Has she done her rehabilitation exercises? Has she taken her medicine on time?"
"Reporting to the Admiral, in the past month and a half, Minister Mo... has not performed any rehabilitation exercises for the time being. She drinks the Spirit Nourishing Liquid intermittently. The rate at which she takes her medicine on time is approximately thirteen percent. Also..."
"What are you talking about!" Mo Chengyu was dumbfounded, glaring at Zuo Kai with a look of betrayal and utter disappointment. "I obviously drink my Spirit Nourishing Liquid every single day!"
Zuo Kai didnât respond and averted his gaze.
Mo Chengyu tried to speak again, but Mo Si silenced her. "Heâs actually being lenient. If he said a couple more things, he could report on the âresultsâ of your recovery, too."
"A month and a half of recovery, and your injuries have only gotten worse."
"..."
It was pointless to keep harping on the same subject. After hearing the report, Mo Si stood up and led Mo Chengyu on a tour of the small castle. "You shouldnât have come here to recuperate in the first place. You could have gone to a hospital or stayed at home, yet you insisted on moving here."
"You know you have zero self-control, yet youâre so confident in yourself that you decide to live alone?"
"Whatâs this?" After a look around, Mo Si spotted the spiritual power training device on the sofa and turned his head. "Youâve still been playing these kinds of spiritual power control games recently?"
His eyes narrowed. "You really have no regard for your own injury."
"...I havenât! How could I be training my spiritual power? I was just playing some low-level training games with the little girl next door!"
Mo Si didnât say a word, but his face clearly screamed, âI donât believe you.â
After criticizing Mo Chengyuâs living habits, her spiritual power habits, the interior decor, and all the various amenities, Mo Si had her sit with him by the coffee table in the reception room.
He solemnly declared to his disobedient sister, "Thereâs a ceasefire period right now, so I have some free time. I can stay here for a while. Once the ceasefire is over, Iâll be heading to the front lines. Even if you look for me then, I wonât be able to come."
"Iâll be staying here for a longer period this time to help you restore your spiritual power to its optimal state and to change your living habits and your spiritual power usage habits. This will allow you to use your spiritual power and energy more rationally."
Mo Si was the very picture of dogmatism.
But when Mo Chengyu heard he would be staying for a long time, she couldnât help but squawk, "What? Youâre staying for a long time? Doesnât that mean Iâllâ"
His eyes were filled with threat.
"Doesnât that mean Iâll... die from happiness?"
"Mm."
"Staying forâ"
"Three months."
A THUD echoed from the floor.
It was the sound of someoneâs heart hitting the floor and shattering into a million pieces.
