"..." Ming Beiya probably didn't expect Mo Shisheng to suddenly mention the Nuwa Stone, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
Seeing Ming Beiya remain silent, Mo Shisheng frowned slightly. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"This is the Nuwa Stone."
Ming Beiya had no intention of hiding anything from Mo Shisheng and said directly, "It is an ancient artifact."
"Ancient artifact..."
Many images flashed through Mo Shisheng's mind, including those of Qi Muxiao. When the image focused on Qi Muxiao, Mo Shisheng felt another sharp pain in her head.
"Um……"
She couldn't help but let out a soft moan, and Ming Beiya quickly asked, "What's wrong, Asheng?"
"fine……"
Mo Shisheng shook her head, the image in her mind resembling the scene of Ming Beiya taking her into the palace.
Although Qi Muxiao's face was somewhat blurry, her silhouette was still recognizable. She was certainly different from how she looked now; after all, Qi Muxiao was now a mother of three, while back then she seemed to be an unmarried young woman.

After a while, when the horse stopped its restless movements, Zhuque's voice came from outside the carriage, "My lord, the princess has been waiting for you outside, I wonder..."
"Um."
Ming Beiya responded indifferently and returned Mo Shisheng's silver mask to her, "Put it on properly and take it off."
"You think you can just do whatever you want...?"
Mo Shisheng raised her hand to take the mask and protested in a low voice. Halfway through her sentence, her chin was suddenly tightened. Ming Beiya forcefully held her chin, forcing Mo Shisheng to lift her small face.
"You're not convinced?"
"No."
Mo Shisheng glanced coldly at Ming Beiya and slapped his hand away. "The princess is waiting for the Grand Preceptor outside. It would be best if the Grand Preceptor didn't waste any more time."
Upon hearing this, Ming Beiya glanced at Mo Shisheng indifferently without saying anything more, then pulled back the carriage curtain and got off the carriage first.
When Qi Muxiao saw Ming Beiya come out, she wanted to go up to him, but Zhuque stopped her.
Qi Muxiao stopped abruptly, glancing at Zhuque with displeasure. "Imperial Preceptor, I've found something interesting today. Would you like to see it?"
Ming Beiya remained silent. Just then, Mo Shisheng put on his mask and jumped down from the carriage.
Upon seeing Mo Shisheng, Qi Muxiao was slightly taken aback, her delicate face paling slightly, her expression filled with disbelief. "What are you doing here?"
"Ask him."
Mo Shisheng glanced lightly at Ming Beiya standing to the side.
Qi Muxiao looked incredulous. Ming Beiya disliked anyone getting close to him, and even three steps away was his limit. But Mo Shisheng had just gotten off his carriage.
Qi Muxiao is the only princess of the Qi Kingdom on the Xuanyun Continent. She has been pampered since childhood. Even though she admires the Grand Tutor Ming Beiya, she cannot easily express her feelings because she is a princess and born into a high position.
The moment she saw Mo Shisheng step down from Ming Beiya's carriage, her heart truly ached.
"Imperial Preceptor, is it because you brought Shangguan Yan to the palace at this hour that you have business?"
Qi Muxiao wouldn't ask Ming Beiya why he let Mo Shisheng get close to him, because her proud personality wouldn't allow her to ask that question!
Upon hearing Qi Muxiao's words, Mo Shisheng gently raised her eyes and glanced at her, a slight smile playing on her lips. It seemed this princess was quite interesting.
"Some trivial matters."
Ming Beiya said calmly, without saying anything more.
"Then please proceed, Imperial Preceptor."
Qi Muxiao's expression had calmed down, and she looked as if nothing had happened.
But if you listen closely, you can hear a hint of disappointment in her voice...
