After a long stalemate, Shangguan Xue finally pursed her cherry lips, raised her hand and gently grasped Mo Shisheng's left arm, untying the ribbon that she hadn't finished binding.
With her other hand, she took a red pill and slipped the handkerchief into Mo Shisheng's right hand. She then gently crushed the pill with just two fingers, sprinkling the powder evenly onto Mo Shisheng's wound.
The medicinal properties seeped into the bloodstream, bringing a slight coolness and a tiny sting. Mo Shisheng's gaze remained fixed on Shangguan Xue, whose almond-shaped eyes were pure and bright.
After Shangguan Xue carefully applied the medicine to Mo Shisheng, she gently tied the bandage around her neck before letting go of Mo Shisheng's hand.
A sweet smile spread across her chubby face. "Alright, Yan'er."
"Thanks."
A faint smile appeared on Mo Shisheng's lips, her gaze softening as she looked at the handkerchief that Shangguan Xue had forcibly stuffed into her right hand. She said helplessly, "Consider it a favor I owe you."
"If this makes you feel at ease, then I agree."
Shangguan Xue smiled, and Shangguan Ying slowly stood up from the table and walked to Mo Shisheng's side. "I didn't expect your explosive power to be so strong."
"I only had the advantage in speed," Mo Shisheng chuckled. "Big sister hadn't really made her move yet. The match with big brother later won't be so simple."
"Well, with my elder brother's cultivation at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment and his extensive combat experience, it will indeed be difficult for Yan'er to win." Shangguan Ying analyzed objectively, her brows furrowing slightly, her beautiful face showing a hint of seriousness.
"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. Let's go, our break time is almost up."
Mo Shisheng asked casually, "Are you still going together?"
"I want to see if you can beat my brother, even though I know it will be difficult." Shangguan Xue nodded, her face full of honesty.
Mo Shisheng: "..."
That next sentence could totally be omitted, right?
What she needs right now is encouragement!
Shangguan Ying smiled and said, "Let's go take a look. We have nothing else to do today anyway."
"Let's go then."
Mo Shisheng nodded slightly and walked ahead of Shangguan Ying and Shangguan Xue. Although her steps were light, her aura remained undiminished.
Shangguan Ying and Shangguan Xue followed slowly behind her, about a step away. Shangguan Ying's gaze was always gently fixed on her, her almond-shaped eyes filled with a faint doubt as she carefully examined Mo Shisheng.
In the front yard.
Shangguan Xuan was sitting in the pavilion talking to Shangguan Leiting when Mo Shisheng suddenly appeared, and their conversation ended instantly.
A faint embarrassment appeared on Shangguan Leiting's aged face. "Yan'er, why didn't you rest a little longer? There's still time..."
"Grandpa was just telling my eldest brother to give way to me?" Mo Shisheng asked calmly, her gaze lightly falling on the two of them.
Even though she was just standing there quietly, doing nothing, Shangguan Leiting and Shangguan Xuan felt a pressure coming from her.
Shangguan Xuan stood up gently, walked a few steps to Mo Shisheng, and looked down at her with his handsome face slightly lowered. "I won't give in to you."
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng raised an eyebrow slightly. "Thanks."
"Shall we begin?"
"Um."
Mo Shisheng responded lightly, walked to the area within the white line, rubbed her wrist joints, and did some warm-up exercises.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xuan's eyes flashed slightly, and without saying a word, he also walked into the white line area.
