"I've already paid it."

These three words struck like a bolt from the blue.

...Hope was dashed.

If Shan Bian and the others find out about this, she will definitely be treated as a traitor to the Mo family and dealt with. But how long can this be kept secret?

"What happened? I told General Yuwen about this, and he praised you, saying it was a great achievement for you."

Seeing her so devastated, he felt a surge of pleasure, casually ruffling the bun on her head, making it sway back and forth—it was strangely addictive.

"Stop poking it. My hair is curly and it's hard to tie it up."

Yuwen Sheng was very tall; she wasn't even as tall as his shoulder.

After irritably pulling his hand away, Zheng Quchi suddenly realized that the person in front of him definitely had a close relationship with Yuwen Sheng.

Because Yuwen Sheng would entrust the Nine-Dragon Mechanism Box, which was so important, to him, she also saw in him a kind of powerful indifference that came from a superior who had the power of life and death.

Of course, when Shan Bian told her that the Nine-Dragon Mechanism Box was in Yuwen Sheng's hands, she also wondered if the man with the red veil covering his eyes might be Yuwen Sheng. But she had seen Yuwen Sheng in the camp, and that encounter left a very deep impression on her.

She couldn't imagine how someone with such a brutal and imposing aura could possibly be drowning and then be saved by her.

"So you had me kidnapped because of General Yuwen's orders?"

"I heard that you can not only understand Yangshi Lei drawings, but also modify drawings without physical reference?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Quchi immediately understood why they were looking for her.

But at the same time, she also knew that the opportunity to break the deadlock that she had been searching for had finally arrived.
