"Ugh, it hurts."
Mo Shisheng nodded gently, "Why isn't Second Sister going to keep Grandpa company?"
I'm worried about you.
Shangguan Qi gently curved her lips, a hint of shyness on her face, "Yan'er, I have a secret to tell you, but you must keep it a secret for me!"
"good."
Mo Shisheng answered indifferently, her tone extremely perfunctory. Unfortunately, Shangguan Qi was engrossed in her own world at that moment and didn't notice.
"Yan'er, today the Imperial Preceptor sent Chi Hu to deliver many valuable items, many of which I've never seen before." Shangguan Qi's tone carried a hint of boasting, but more than anything, it was smugness.
Imperial Preceptor?
evildoer?
Mingbei Fang?
Why did he give Shangguan Qi these things?
Mo Shisheng frowned slightly, then realized that whatever Ming Beiya did had nothing to do with her, so she stopped worrying about it and replied softly, "The things in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion are naturally extraordinary, so it's normal that Second Sister hasn't seen them before."
"Yan'er, you have no idea how beautiful those things are. I've never seen so many beautiful things displayed together. The Imperial Advisor is so thoughtful..."
As Shangguan Qi spoke, her gaze subtly swept over Mo Shisheng, and seeing that she remained unmoved, she became somewhat annoyed. "Yan'er, aren't you curious?"
"Hmm? Oh, I'm so curious, I'm absolutely curious."
Mo Shisheng was thinking about how she needed to go back to the Bamboo Garden to cultivate after dinner. She had finally managed to master some of her ability to control the air. While she was thinking about cultivation, she suddenly heard Shangguan Qi's slightly annoyed question, so she gave a perfunctory answer.
However, whether she was being perfunctory or not was not an issue for Shangguan Qi at all. She just kept showing off in front of Mo Shisheng, wishing she could hand over all the things that Ming Beiya had given her to Mo Shisheng to show her.
"Yan'er, can I ask you a question?"
"Yes, go ahead and ask."
Mo Shisheng answered calmly, but her mind was still on cultivation.
"Are you... very familiar with the Imperial Advisor?" Shangguan Qi's voice carried a hint of suspicion, which was also the question she had always wanted to ask Mo Shisheng.
"..."
After a long while, Mo Shisheng did not answer, and Shangguan Qi began to grow impatient.
Just then, as Mo Shisheng decided to stay up all night cultivating, she suddenly remembered that Shangguan Qi seemed to have asked her a question. She frowned slightly, "What did you just say?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qi's face instantly darkened, but still mindful of Mo Shisheng, she forced a stiff smile and asked, "I was just asking you if you're very familiar with the Imperial Advisor?"
"Not familiar with it."
Mo Shisheng's lips twitched slightly. She was acquainted with Ming Beiya? How could that be? That devil, that idiot who threatened her into making a deal with him—how could she, Mo Shisheng, be acquainted with someone like that?
"That's what I think too. After all, Yan'er, you know how noble the Imperial Advisor's status is..."
"If Second Sister is worried that I want to climb the social ladder by marrying the Imperial Preceptor, there is no need to worry at all. After all, compared to Second Sister, my status is naturally a bit higher. If anyone is going to climb the social ladder, it will be the Imperial Preceptor who is climbing the social ladder by marrying me."
Shangguan Qi's words were meant to remind Mo Shisheng of her identity, but Mo Shisheng was angered by them and immediately responded to Shangguan Qi with a cold and domineering tone.
After finishing, Mo Shisheng quickened her pace and walked ahead of Shangguan Qi. By the time Shangguan Qi realized what was happening, the two had already grown quite a distance apart.
