A maid stepped forward to help Situ Xue, but she slapped her away.
"Get out! Are you all laughing at me? Get out of here!"
The maidservant retreated in fear and knelt on the ground, covering her burning face with her hands. She dared not utter a sound or continue forward.
...
Mo Shisheng didn't go far after leaving. She stopped by a lake, her gaze fixed on the water, which was cold and still.
Nan Xiao followed from behind and saw this scene. The woman stood slender but upright by the lake, wearing a white dress and with her long black hair cascading down her back, creating a stunningly beautiful sight.
He didn't say anything, but stepped forward quietly and stood beside Mo Shisheng.
Mo Shisheng knew that the person who came was Nan Xiao, but she didn't turn around or intend to say anything.
The two of them had faced each other on the battlefield not long ago, so it was impossible for Mo Shisheng to talk to him calmly again.
"The border defenses of the Qi Kingdom have been breached."
Nan Xiao began with this sentence, and without caring whether the girl was listening, he continued, "Soon, the Qi Kingdom will cease to exist."
Does it no longer exist?
Mo Shisheng smiled faintly, glancing sideways at Nan Xiao, their eyes meeting in mid-air.
The girl's peach blossom eyes shimmered with a captivating light, exceptionally bright and clear. Being looked at like that, it seemed as if all ugliness had nowhere to hide.
A cool breeze blew by, and Mo Shisheng spoke at this moment, her voice becoming ethereal in the cold wind.
"I've never thought of you as a simple person. Southern Prince, you were the one who lured the beast souls to Cloud Mist Ridge. Was your purpose to test my strength?"
Nan Xiao's eyes remained clear and bright. He nodded slightly and draped the thick cloak over Mo Shisheng's shoulders.
Nanxiao is right, Qi State's border defenses have indeed been breached.
However, that day also caused heavy losses to all three countries.
Because Mingbeiya appeared.
He appeared just moments after Mo Shisheng was taken away.
Upon seeing that Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao were in danger, Ming Beiya swept his sleeve and killed all those who attacked them.
"Imperial Advisor, Imperial Advisor, please hurry and save the young master! She's been kidnapped..."
Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao were covered in injuries and neither of them could stand up. Jiang Yao immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded in a low voice.
Ming Beiya glanced at them indifferently, "Yes."
"That……"
"You should return to the Imperial Preceptor's residence to recover from your injuries."
The Vermilion Bird, the Red Tiger, and the Azure Phoenix all came to rescue Mo Shisheng, but they couldn't find any trace of her at the scene.
Qingluan looked anxious, "Shisheng, she..."
"She is not in danger."
Ming Beiya's gaze gently fell to the side, where a gloomy atmosphere was brewing before the coming storm.
His whole body exuded an icy chill.
"Should we go save her now?" Qingluan frowned deeply, gripping her longsword with great force, her knuckles turning white.
"Save the Qi Kingdom first."
After saying this, Ming Beiya flew into the midst of the fighting crowd.
Wherever he went, everyone except the people of Qi was doomed.
Vermilion Bird and Red Tiger followed closely behind, and Azure Phoenix pursed her lips before finally catching up as well.
...
Ming Beiya wasn't curious about what Nan Xiao and Mo Shisheng had said. It was the truth, and if Mo Shisheng wanted to know, Nan Xiao would definitely tell her everything without reservation.
However, there was always something strange about what these people said when they came out of their mouths.
"Why are you telling me all this?"
Ming Beiya still didn't understand why Xie was suddenly telling him all this.
