What did she say to you?
Ming Beiya wasn't curious about what Qi Muxiao and Mo Shisheng had talked about; he just wanted to know if Mo Shisheng could recall the past while remembering these things.
That was when Ming Beiya appeared in the Southern Kingdom. During the second round of the competition to compete for the position of her master, Qi Muxiao found her and spoke to her.
Looking back now, it was probably Ming Beiya's appearance that stirred up some of Qi Muxiao's old obsessions. So many years of feelings were indeed hard to let go of, especially since it started from a time of innocent ignorance.

at night.
Mo Shisheng felt that the wind in the winter night made her exceptionally clear-headed. After washing up, she put on thick clothes and went into the yard. The heavy snow had stopped, and the snow on the ground had accumulated to the point that it was invisible when you stepped on it.
"Why aren't you asleep so late?"
Qi Muxiao walked over from the other side, followed by a palace maid. She glanced at Mo Shisheng and said to the maid, "You wait here first."
"yes."
The palace maid responded and stood still, no longer following Qi Muxiao forward.
Mo Shisheng stood there, and upon hearing Qi Muxiao's voice, she took a deep breath before turning around to look at him. "Why are you here?"
"I wanted to talk to you; I saw an old friend today."
Qi Muxiao smiled. Now in her thirties, she no longer had the shyness of a young girl, but instead possessed a more composed and mature demeanor, a quality that came from time and experience.
"Old friend?"
Mo Shisheng thought for a moment, then remembered that when Ming Beiya appeared, Qi Muxiao, Nan Xiao, and Situ Xue all had somewhat strange expressions, and then said, "Ming Beiya?"
"Um."
Qi Muxiao nodded slightly. "He is an old friend of mine. Seeing him again now evoked many emotions, so I wanted to come and talk to you."
"You all know him?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng also became somewhat curious. Once the topic was started, she would continue to talk about it, and she was no exception. "But you don't seem like old friends."
"His appearance has never changed."
Knowing what Mo Shisheng meant, Qi Muxiao didn't mind at all. Instead, she answered frankly, "From the moment I met him, he has always looked the same, never aging an inch."
"Never?"
From Qi Muxiao's words, Mo Shisheng realized that they must have known each other for a long time, and it wouldn't be wrong to say they were old friends.
Judging from Qi Muxiao's expression, she didn't seem to be making fun of her. Thinking of Ming Beiya's stunningly beautiful face, which was as alluring and bewitching as a demon, Mo Shisheng narrowed her eyes slightly.
"You are a princess of Qi, and Ming Beiya was also from Qi before?"
Mo Shisheng knew that Qi Muxiao was the apple of Qi's eye before she married into the Southern Kingdom. If she was an old friend, then Ming Beiya must be a citizen of Qi.
"He was the Grand Preceptor of the State of Qi at the time."
Qi Muxiao smiled. "I was captivated by his looks the moment I saw him when I was little, and I believed he was my soulmate. But then that girl appeared, shattering all those illusions."
"That girl?"
Mo Shisheng frowned slightly, a hint of doubt appearing on her young face, as if Qi Muxiao had not made his point clear.
“It’s that girl I told you about. You look a lot like her.” Qi Muxiao turned her head slightly to look at Mo Shisheng. “Her appearance made me realize that the Imperial Advisor is not so cold-blooded and ruthless.”
