During the period when Sixth Brother was under the influence of the puppet curse, although he was unaware of what had happened in these few years, it was clear that the puppet curse on him was inflicted by the person standing before him, indicating multiple interactions between them.
Mr. Si Meng now realized that his current situation was highly unfavorable.
Especially after seeing Mo Jiuye approach, he understood that he had fallen into the hands of the Mo brothers.
Thinking about this filled him with deep resentment, blaming himself for his initial carelessness that allowed Mo Jinnian to be rescued.
He also deduced that the one who saved Mo Jinnian in Nanzhong must have been Mo Jiuye.
Although Mr. Si Meng had already pieced together most of the events, he could not fathom how someone managed to remove the puppet curse he had inflicted.
Given his status in the world of raising curses, no one would dare claim first place if he claimed second.
The curses he placed on others were impossible to remove.
Could it be that there was a more skilled master of curses who had acted without his knowledge?
While Mr. Si Meng was lost in thought, Mo Jiuye angrily kicked him hard.
At the same time, Xiao Bai, who had just returned with its owner, flew into the room. Seeing its owner's fury, it circled excitedly above his head, chirping joyfully.
Mo Jiuye's kick was merciless, landing squarely on Mr. Si Meng's body.
Even with martial arts skills, Mr. Si Meng found it difficult to endure the blow.
Unfortunately, his hands and feet were bound, leaving him immobile. As he planned to lash out at Mo Jiuye, he saw his beloved pet.
"Darling, go bite him."
He knew the power of his pet well; once it showed its claws, its attacks were formidable.
Today, having fallen into the hands of the Mo brothers, survival seemed unlikely.
If so, he might as well take his beloved pet with him, at least he wouldn't be alone on the journey.
To his surprise, Xiao Bai did not obey his command but instead kept trying to please Mo Jiuye.
Mr. Si Meng refused to give up. He couldn't believe his pet would disobey him; perhaps the little creature was just overly excited from not seeing him for a long time.
After some deliberation, he tried again to call Xiao Bai to harm the Mo brothers.
Unexpectedly, this time Xiao Bai transformed its beak and pecked at his eye.
Seeing this, Mr. Si Meng was momentarily stunned; otherwise, with his martial arts skills, even with his limbs bound, he would have had some ability to dodge.
Although Xiao Bai did not accurately hit his eye, it viciously pecked off a piece of flesh below it.
Blood trickled down Mr. Si Meng's cheek, and his pained and shocked expression made him look terrifying.
Mo Jiuye extended an arm, and Xiao Bai landed on it steadily.
He deliberately praised Xiao Bai in front of Mr. Si Meng.
"Xiao Bai, good job."
"This is impossible. This is my pet that I've raised for over a decade. It can't be wrong."
At this moment, Mr. Si Meng believed he must have mistaken the pet; his darling would never recognize anyone else as its master.
Mo Jiuye didn't care about his thoughts. With their greatest enemy right in front of them, he had no patience for further entanglements.
Sixth Brother went straight to the point.
"Tell me, where have you hidden my father and brother?"
Hearing this question, Mr. Si Meng's eyes narrowed, realizing things were worse than he had imagined.
For the Mo brothers, Mr. Si Meng was their greatest enemy.
Similarly, in Mr. Si Meng's mind, the Mo family should suffer and then join his beloved in death at the appointed time.
Unexpectedly, just as everything was about to be perfect, numerous issues arose within less than a year.
Now, he could only try to stabilize the situation and find a way to escape.
With this thought, Mr. Si Meng immediately composed himself.
"I don't know what you're talking about. We've never met. Why are you holding me captive?"
Mo Jiuye sneered, "Haha... Old fox, weren't you able to call out my Sixth Brother's name just now?
How can you suddenly claim we've never met?"
Mr. Si Meng continued to feign ignorance.
"The renowned General of Great Strength from the Mo family, many people even had his portrait in their homes. It's not surprising that I recognized him, is it?"
This was indeed true.
Mo Jiuye, the sixth son of the Mo family, was known for his incredible strength. Folklore even suggested that the hammer he wielded weighed over a hundred pounds.
When Mo Jinnian led the troops at the border, he defeated the Nanzhong forces, which was widely known at the time.
However, if the Mo brothers believed his words, it would be a miracle.
Neither of the brothers wanted to waste more words with this person, but they both knew that he could not die before they found their father and brother.
Therefore, they were greatly limited in their interrogation methods.
They did not dare to be too aggressive, for fear that if this old man chose to go down fighting, it would endanger their father's and brother's lives.
"We only want to know the whereabouts of our father and brother. If you tell us the truth, I can consider letting you off."
Mo Jiuye said this while barely suppressing his anger, fearing that Mr. Si Meng might do something drastic.
"Your father and brother were already killed in battle, weren't they? How could I possibly know their whereabouts?"
Si Meng, the cunning old fox, was no ordinary man. Since you're playing games with me, I can pretend to be confused as well.
Mo Jiuye had little patience to begin with, and seeing Si Meng act this way, he could no longer control his anger.
He realized that trying to get information from this old man by talking was futile.
So, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket.
Inside was a bottle of itching powder specially prepared for him by his wife.
This was something He Zhiran had anticipated. They had successfully captured Mr. Si Meng in the Imperial City, and without being able to kill him, getting information out of him would not be easy.
Thus, she had specifically sought out a recipe and made the itching powder.
Mo Jiuye opened the bottle cap and sprinkled the powder toward Mr. Si Meng.
Seeing Mo Jiuye's action, Mr. Si Meng instinctively held his breath.
In his understanding, this was a poison being used against him.
However, he did not know what kind of poison it was, and as long as he did not inhale it through his mouth or nose, he still had a chance to escape.
Little did he know, his knowledge was limited. Poisoning was not just about inhalation through the mouth and nose.
Mr. Si Meng's ability to hold his breath was indeed impressive, and he felt he had not inhaled any of the powder.
Just as he was feeling smug, he suddenly felt an unbearable itch all over his body.
He writhed uncontrollably, trying to dispel the terrible sensation.
But the more he struggled, the stronger the feeling became.
At the same time, he realized that the poison Mo Jiuye had used on him was not one that affected the mouth and nose, but rather one that caused his entire body to itch.
