Song Ci imitated Song Fei's attitude towards others and responded indifferently but politely: "We are about the same age, just call me Song Fei."
"Okay, classmate Song Fei. My name is Mo Fengyang, and I'm also a student taking this exam. As for why Nangong Xian's weapon is in my Mo family, there is indeed a reason..."
Just as Mo Fengyang was about to begin telling the legendary story behind the bow and arrow, he heard a clear female voice coming from the back of the crowd, getting closer and closer.
"Six hundred years ago, our Mo clan's ancestor, Mo Liansheng, was a military doctor under the command of the Fairy Nangong, the God of War. He fought alongside Nangong Xian in battles for several years, spending every day together and becoming a close couple."
The crowd parted, and three or four men strode in.
Song Ci turned around and saw Mo Fengying.
Mo Fengying was wearing the same black school uniform as Song Ci, with a red belt around her waist with the number 28 printed on it.
She didn't realize that Song Ci and Song Fei had been switched, and had mistaken Song Ci for Song Fei. Mo Fengying nodded towards 'Song Fei'. "Teacher Song Fei, seeing you is better than hearing about you. You are much younger than I thought."
Song Ci said coldly with a wooden face: "Miss Mo is also very good."
Mo Fengying thought Song Fei was just being polite. She turned to look at Song Ci beside her and said, "We meet again, Madam Han."
Song Fei imitated Song Ci's smile, and she tried to smile brightly and naturally, "Ms. Mo, so you are also a contestant."
Mo Fengying had met Song Ci twice before. Song Ci was relieved when she saw that Song Fei's reaction was acceptable and did not let Mo Fengying see any clues.
Mo Fengying said, "Five years ago, I was under the age of fifteen and was not eligible to participate in the competition. Naturally, I can't miss this year's assessment."
Song Fei nodded and didn't want to pay any more attention to Mo Fengying.
Mo Fengying was a bit surprised by Song Porcelain's indifference. This Madam Han seemed a bit different from the two previous times she'd met her. Her attitude towards her was much colder. Could it be that she was still blaming herself for accidentally spilling the scald on her last time?
As Mo Fengying was thinking this, she heard the beautiful woman beside her ask, "What happened next?"
Mo Fengying was stunned for a moment before she realized that 'Song Fei' was asking her about the follow-up between Nangong Xian and the ancestor.
Mo Fengying looked up at the bow and arrow. She said, "Later, the border was pacified and there was no more fighting. Nangong Xian returned to Kyoto and was promoted to a higher rank, becoming a rare female general of that era. And our ancestor brought his servants to Shu and founded the Mo Family Pharmacy."
"So they broke up?" Song Ci only cared about this.
Mo Fengying nodded.
Song Ci continued, "In that era, it was not easy to say love, and it was even harder to say break up. Who took the initiative to break up?"
Mo Fengying hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's the ancestor."
Song Ci sneered and pointed out sharply: "So, Ancestor Mo abandoned the woman he once loved."
Mo Fengying frowned, feeling offended. "To say we've been abandoned is too harsh. It's just that everyone has their own aspirations. Nangong Xian wanted to defend his country and serve his motherland. And our ancestors wanted to promote Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Mo Fengying would not tolerate others looking down on their ancestors.
Song Ci, however, found Mo Fengying's words full of irony. She asked, "Where can't Chinese medicine be promoted? Kyoto is so vast, isn't there enough space for your ancestors? Why did he have to flee to this remote Shu? Could it be that he has some secret that is hidden from the world?"
Mo Fengying remained silent.
After hearing what Song Ci said, everyone felt that Ancestor Mo was too cruel to Nangong Xian. However, Mo Liansheng, the great medical sage, was well-known, and everyone valued his Chinese medicine skills, not his character.
Besides, this person has been dead for hundreds of years, so there is no point in discussing his love affairs.
Seeing Song Fei's aggressiveness, Mo Fengying had a thought. Grandfather had said that every herbalist would feel indignant and resentful when faced with the Sun Chaser Arrow.
Every medicine man can empathize with Nangong Xian's resentment. Could it be that Song Fei...
