I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 423 - 81: The Truth

"I don't need Tian En's help! Besides... Tian En is just an ordinary person, what can she do?"

Mokaka hung her head and shouted irrationally.

But fundamentally, it was all just nonsense spoken in anger. She wasn't truly disdainful of Tian En, nor did she really not need help; she just didn't want to admit that as the esteemed young lady of the Hugo Clan, someone who excelled at everything from a young age, she would need the assistance of an ordinary person.

Mokaka was actually very afraid of Tian En leaving, as she was the last person by her side.

But she had no idea how to ask her to stay... just as the guards had said, she was too self-centered, never caring about others' thoughts, not even a little bit.

However, at this very moment, after speaking those cruel words, she suddenly realized that what she said might have been inappropriate and could hurt Tian En.

"I..."

She instinctively raised her head, wanting to say something, but that damn pride made her incapable of even knowing "when to say what to comfort others."

So in the end, she could only bite her lip silently, lower her head, and choose to escape.

And Tian En?

This girl's eyes were filled with hope, bright and shining, expecting the young lady she had served for so long to see her as an equal, to consult her thoughts, even if just as a pretense...

But when Mokaka spoke, that hope vanished instantly.

Replaced by a momentary shock, confusion, and long-lasting disappointment.

"So... so that's how it is."

"Alright."

Tian En sighed softly, no longer insisting.

Perhaps because she still respected Mokaka, this girl, even though repeatedly disappointed, did not retort or say anything sarcastic.

She just quietly got up, using hands that were not smooth and had a thin layer of calluses, to brew Mokaka one last cup of coffee.

After that, this girl turned back to her tent under Mokaka's hesitant gaze, seeming to prepare to pack and leave.

Tian En's value, and her heart's desire, had been discarded by the person she respected.

There was no longer any reason for her to stay here...

If those civilians and guards left Mokaka voluntarily, then Tian En was driven away by Mokaka herself.

Vivian Hugo's young lady persona ultimately made her taste the bitter fruit, falling into a conclusion of betrayal by friends and kin.

...

As trouble erupted in the camp, Yun You quickened her pace to return.

Just now, Yuanbao handed Yun You a piece of information she had unearthed from the Ethernet database.

This data recorded some secrets of the Frost Clan.

"The last descendant of the Frost Clan was not actively abandoned by the Frost couple but was passively discarded."

"In other words, that child was actually abducted at birth, only returning to the clan for unknown reasons over a decade later."

"And in this incident, perhaps the Hugo Clan's Patriarch—Caliduo Hugo, Mokaka's father, had a hand."

"Interestingly... during those ten-plus years, the Frost couple always had another child by their side, showing no signs of 'grief over losing a child.'"

"People speculate that the Frost couple might have had twins back then... "

"After both husband and wife passed away, these two children disappeared, never appearing before people again."

Through the intelligence and combining some new investigation, Yun You roughly guessed the identity of the mastermind.

She was returning to the camp now to confirm her suspicions.

The girl's speed was quick, and soon she was back in the camp.

Though seeing the camp so deserted surprised Yun You a bit, she had encountered many refugees on the way, so she didn't pay it much mind.

What truly concerned her was Tian En's departure.

Mokaka actually drove Tian En away, leaving Yun You momentarily stunned.

She stared dazedly at Tian En, who had finished packing and was ready to leave, then at Mokaka.

The latter hung her head like a cat who had done wrong.

"..."

Yun You was speechless.

But seeing Tian En about to leave, she still sighed gently, stepped forward, and stopped the silver-haired girl.

"You don't have to keep me, Miss Wu Ming..."

Tian En lowered her head and spoke softly, "There's no reason for Tian En to stay here anymore, please let me leave."

"Whether I live or die after this, has nothing to do with Mokaka anymore."

"..."

Hearing this, Yun You paused for a moment, then shook her head.

"You misunderstand, Tian En, I'm not stopping you for that reason."

Saying this, she glanced at Tian En's temples, hoping to see purely silver hair.

But in the end, she was disappointed.

Because beneath Tian En's silver strands were a few slightly reddish pink hairs, upon closer inspection, they bore some resemblance to Mokaka's...

Though it wasn't obvious, it was real.

"Sigh..."

Yun You sighed heavily.

She only knew that the result she most didn't want to see had still appeared.

The fact was right before her eyes, not allowing disbelief.

"Tian En..."

Yun You began slowly, trying to maintain her composure.

"Should I call you Tian En or..."

"Should I call you 'Frost Clan's young lady'?"

"..."

"...?"

Stunned.

Yuanbao was stunned, Mokaka was stunned, even Master Zero, residing in Yun You's consciousness, was similarly stunned.

They stared blankly at Yun You, faces full of incredulous expressions.

Yet Tian En's face showed little emotional fluctuation.

"Why do you say that?"

She evidently noticed Yun You's gaze, so she lifted those pink strands and asked calmly, "Can a few hairs be used as decisive evidence? There are too many people with pink hair in this world."

"No..."

Yun You shook her head.

"It's not decisive evidence, just a final wedge to confirm the truth."

"Honestly, I didn't initially suspect you. After all, the Frost Clan's child was the culprit, bound to possess immense power, while you were almost harmed by a War Gang before and I personally rescued you from the forest area, which doesn't quite fit the profile."

"But then I thought, is what we see with our own eyes necessarily true? Perhaps not."

"If your strength is not below mine and your Death God rank is higher, then hiding in front of me wouldn't be difficult."

"Anyway, it's all speculation in the end..."

"What truly made me suspect you was last night's assassination incident."
