Dinner was definitely not comparable to what we had in Beijing; it was just porridge with dried meat and vegetables.

Qin Zhaoyue didn't pick and choose; they were all pure, organic, and pollution-free good stuff, which was better than takeout, especially since she also had pastries she brought from the capital.

The weather is too hot to keep them fresh. Even if I stored them in water containers, they would probably only last until today. So I just destroyed them all.

A strong figure stood beside her; it was Ping An, who was currently eating porridge and steamed buns.

This was also brought along; it was dry food specially prepared for Ping An by the kitchen staff of the Princess's residence. It was unleavened steamed buns that could be stored for a while and kept you full.

But once it dries, it becomes incredibly hard and tough on the teeth, so it's usually soaked in water to drink.

But Ping An held up the steamed bun, crunching it with gusto, and ate it with relish, taking a bite of bun and a sip of porridge.

Seeing his appearance, Qin Zhaoyue couldn't help but pat his head.

"I'm sorry, Ping An. I told you I'd make sure you were well-fed every meal, but I didn't expect you to leave Beijing so soon."

Don't worry, I'll make it up to you properly once we get back to Beijing.

Ping An stopped eating and looked at Qin Zhaoyue with a simple smile, "It's delicious, and I can eat my fill."

After saying that, he continued to eat his steamed bun and drink his porridge.

Qin Zhaoyue shook her head. This silly child, with such an appetite, she might even go hungry if she went to the disaster area.

There's nothing we can do if we go to the most severely affected areas; we can only make it up to him for a while and then make it up to him when we get back to the capital.

The Azure Phoenix Guards scattered around were all shocked.

In their minds, this princess was extremely arrogant, and they had already mentally prepared themselves for a difficult journey of serving her.

Unexpectedly, after a day without any trouble, he asked to ride a horse for a while in the evening. He seems to have a talent for it and didn't cause any problems.

The way he comforted the big, simple-minded guy seemed genuinely sincere.

They looked at each other, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Is this still the brainless, trouble-making sixth princess that everyone in the capital is talking about?

Sui Mo observed the troubled expressions on their faces, quietly ate her porridge, and said nothing.

There are some things she can't say, but she believes that as they spend more time together, they will discover that the Sixth Princess is not at all what the rumors say.

Although she does have a somewhat mischievous personality and a sharp tongue...

Qin Zhaoyue didn't eat steamed buns, but drank porridge and ate pastries. She brought too many pastries, so everyone who accompanied her got some, and the rest were all with Ping An.

With nothing else to do, she nudged Suimo and asked, "Do any of the people you're with have any special skills?"

Hearing this, even the gentle breeze and fine rain perked up.

It's true that Sui Mo and the other two are no match for him, but the other twelve are just ordinary Qingluan Guards without any official positions.

Just like when they left the Qilin Guard, they were likely all at the sixth rank of the initial stage of true qi formation.

Sui Mo gave a wink, and the Qingluan Guards tacitly each kept watch in one direction to ensure that no one could overhear them.

"I have selected twelve men from my command, and for Your Highness's convenience, I have given them new code names, from Mo Yi to Mo Shier."

Sui Mo pointed out each group member to the princess in order, saying, "Your Highness, you can memorize them gradually over this period of time."

If it were a simple protection mission, she wouldn't have needed to explain things so clearly, or even make the princess recognize who was who, but things weren't that simple.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are three disaster relief envoys now. If they were to produce that secret edict, even the eldest princess and the fifth prince would have to obey the sixth princess's orders.

Therefore, Suimo planned to take advantage of this time to fully inform the Sixth Princess about the team's situation.

Regardless of whether it will be used in the end, it's better to be safe than sorry.

"Mo Yi has the fastest footwork, leaves no trace in the snow, and excels at stealth and concealment, making him an excellent scout."

"Mo Er's internal energy is incredibly powerful, making him the best in the group for attacking difficult targets."

"Wait a minute!" Qin Zhaoyue raised her hand to interrupt, staring incredulously in the direction Sui Mo had pointed. "You mean she's fierce?"

She noticed that Mo Er was the smallest among the twelve-person group, and his height was probably less than 1.5 meters.

My gaze involuntarily fell on her. Hmm... she's small, but she's rather voluptuous.

Sui Mo wasn't surprised to hear the doubts; Mo Er's appearance was indeed extremely deceptive.

With a gesture, Mo Er immediately moved closer to her. The two people beside her, without needing to be told, immediately took notice of her location.

"elder sister……"

Sui Mo has already explained that everyone outside the home should address each other as sisters.

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll give you a little demonstration."

Without wasting words, Mo Er picked up a stone and suddenly pointed it out with his right hand in a sword-finger gesture.

The next moment, the stone became transparent...

Watching the falling gravel and the stone pierced by her finger, Qin Zhaoyue silently gave a thumbs up.

She's also a sixth-rank official, can she do that too?

Mo Er acted as if nothing had happened. Afraid of leaving a trace, he withdrew his fingers and pinched the stone.

The pebbles slipped quickly through my fingers, and in a few breaths the stones disappeared.

Qin Zhaoyue was speechless: You can crush bones with just a little effort, right?

After the performance ended, Mo Er bowed and returned to the outer perimeter.

"You continue."

"Mo San has a long-lasting breath and excellent swimming ability; he can stay underwater for the duration of an incense stick burning without taking a breath."

"Mo Si is skilled in archery, and hitting a willow leaf from a hundred paces is no problem for him."

"Mo Wu has the keenest nose, no less sensitive than a hunting dog, and is the best at tracking."

"Mo Liu is skilled in disguise and also adept at infiltrating to gather intelligence."

...

Qin Zhaoyue could tell that everyone in this group was talented, possessing a skill in addition to their cultivation level, which showed that Sui Mo had truly put thought into selecting the team members.

"Mo Twelve is most skilled in using poison and hidden weapons."
