The woman in white looked at the woman in blue with some confusion, wondering to herself: Why would the palace master care about the technologies of the secular world?

But out of respect for the palace master's authority, she did not dare ask any further questions.

After receiving no additional instructions from the palace master, she took her leave.

Once the woman in white had disappeared, the woman in blue once again wore a look of regret on her face.

She felt it was a pity that current technological means only allowed her to install surveillance software manually to monitor them remotely.

The people she sent out could not be close enough to the members of the three major families in Jinling to gain access to their communication devices; therefore, she could only install some surveillance equipment on their cars and other places, allowing her to occasionally see and hear what they were doing.

In fact, if she had wished to do so, she could have instructed her disciples sent to Jinling to install surveillance equipment in the residences and even bedrooms of the three major families.

However, she simply wanted to keep an eye on her loved ones' lives without intruding on their privacy, so she did not do so.

Once the remote control system was developed, she would be able to keep track of each of their movements at any time, which would be equivalent to living with them.

"Mother, Yan'er, wait a little longer. In less than ten years, I will be able to break through that barrier, and then no one will be able to stop me from being reunited with you all," the woman in blue thought to herself, then closed her beautiful eyes and began meditating, utilizing the pure cold energy of the Xuanbing Throne.

As for Wang Yue and the other three, they had intended to surprise Chu Mo, but when they arrived at the gym, they discovered that Chu Mo had not been there in three days. Given how much importance she attached to this gym, this was clearly unusual.

Su Xiu immediately turned on her communication device and tried to contact Chu Mo, but she could not get through.

"Has something happened to Mo Mo?" Su Jin anxiously grabbed Wang Yue's arm. "What should we do?"

"Let's go straight to the Chu family's residence," Wang Yue decided promptly.

His relationship with Chu Mo was somewhat special at this time.

If they were just ordinary friends, it would be fine for him to visit the Chu family as a friend; but since their relationship was not yet official, and given his status as a potential son-in-law, going there might not be appropriate.

However, since Chu Mo was now missing, Wang Yue couldn't care less about such considerations. He immediately led the three women towards the Chu family's residence.

The Chu family's home was located near the city center, in a small villa area surrounded by a wall to indicate that it was a private property.

Because of her close relationship with Chu Mo, Su Jin and Su Xiu were regular visitors to the Chu family's residence, so they were not stopped at the gate.

With the guidance of the twin sisters, Wang Yue drove the car directly to the small villa where Chu Mo lived, and the four of them went ahead to ring the doorbell.

"Jin'er, Xiu'er, you've come!" Xu Yanran, who opened the door, seemed quite excited to see the Su sisters.

"Auntie Xu, let me introduce you to our cousins, Wang Yue and Su Jiaojiao," Su Xiu said first. "Xiao Yue, Jiaojiao, this is Mo Mo's mother, Auntie Xu Yanran."

"Hello, auntie," Wang Yue and Su Jiaojiao greeted her politely with a warrior's salute.

"Hello, come in and sit down." Xu Yanran invited them in, her beautiful eyes often fixed on Wang Yue.

During this period, her daughter Chu Mo had talked a lot about this young man from the Wang family, praising him immensely.

Therefore, she was quite curious about this boy who was more than five years younger than her daughter.

Upon seeing him, Wang Yue gave her a very good impression—he was honest and polite, completely lacking the frivolousness typical of wealthy young men.

This is really rare. Currently, in Jinling, one of the three major families holds dominion over the situation, and Wang Yue is the only male member of these three families.

Being the only one of his kind in a vast territory, he naturally receives all kinds of indulgence. However, he hasn't developed any bad habits, which shows that he must be a good person at heart.

As the saying goes, a mother-in-law tends to think her son-in-law is more and more attractive with each passing day. Moreover, not only is Wang Yue kind-hearted, but he is also very handsome, which makes Xu Yanran even more pleased.

"Auntie Xu, where is Mo Mo?" Su Jiner asked immediately after they sat down in the living room.

Xu Yanran's expression darkened slightly as she pointed upstairs and said, "She's in her room. Her father locked her in there; he even took away her communication device. He says she isn't allowed to go out until she gets married to Zhang Qingtian."

"How could Uncle Chu do such a thing!" Su Xiuer became anxious. "What era is it now? Locking someone in, and yet it's his own daughter!"

Xu Yanran felt a bit embarrassed and quickly said, "I'll call her father right now and ask him to let Mo Mo out. He will definitely respect your wishes."

"Auntie, there's no need. Uncle Chu will come soon," Wang Yue said. "Sis, let's go upstairs and take a look first."

Although the people from the Chu family didn't stop Wang Yue and the others, they would surely report their arrival, and Chu Kuo would definitely come once he heard the news.

"It's useless for you to go upstairs. The walls, doors, and windows of Mo Mo's room have been reinforced with special materials; without a key, you can't open them," Xu Yanran said with a sigh, but she felt somewhat relieved inside: the fact that Wang Yue cared so much about his daughter showed that he was serious about her.

In this way, if Chu Mo follows him, even if she doesn't have an official status, it's still better than marrying into the Zhang family.

Actually, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Qingtian is such a scumbag, Xu Yanran would probably prefer him. After all, no mother wants her daughter to be a mistress without any official status for the rest of her life.

But there are no "what-ifs" in life. Zhang Qingtian is just that kind of person, and in comparison, Wang Yue seems much better.

As for Wang Yue pursuing Chu Mo while already having a fiancée, although Xu Yanran had some reservations, she didn't really care too much about it. Living in this era, she had long since become accustomed to such things.

"It doesn't matter. Even if we can't open the door, it's still good to talk to her through the door," Wang Yue said with a gentle smile to Xu Yanran, then stood up.

Su Xiuer also got up immediately and led Wang Yue towards the stairs, knowing the way well.

With all the excitement going on, how could Su Jiaojiao be left behind? So she followed them as well, leaving Su Jiner in the living room with Xu Yanran.
