Mo Shisheng was so weak that she didn't want to move, and didn't even have the strength to speak.
Shangguan Leiting tenderly reached out and touched Mo Shisheng's hair, "Yan'er, you truly make Grandpa proud!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng smiled slightly, then leaned weakly against Shangguan Xuan's chest without uttering a word.
"Grandpa, Yan'er is exhausted. I'll take her back to the Bamboo Garden to rest first," Shangguan Xuan said softly, holding Mo Shisheng in his arms.
"Alright, let Yan'er go and get some rest. She's exhausted today." Shangguan Leiting nodded, watching Shangguan Xuan carry Mo Shisheng away.
However, just as Shangguan Xuan had taken two steps while carrying Mo Shisheng, his knee was hit by a heavy object again, causing him to pause, but he still held Mo Shisheng tightly in his arms.
A stunningly beautiful figure walked in from around the corner. He came against the light, as if he had absorbed all the light in the world and was born to be revered by thousands.
Ming Beiya's stunningly beautiful face remained expressionless, but when he saw Mo Shisheng leaning against Shangguan Xuan's chest, a strange sense of irritation rose within him.
He reached behind him and pulled off a decorative button from his shirt, striking Shangguan Xuan's knee.
Seeing Shangguan Xuan pause, Ming Beiya parted his thin lips slightly, "It seems the Protector General just tested his strength, as he can't even hold someone securely."
"Greetings, Imperial Preceptor!"
As soon as Ming Beiya appeared, the people from the Shangguan family were all surprised and knelt down.
Including Shangguan Leiting.
When Shangguan Qi saw Ming Beiya, a light flashed in her eyes, and she ran to Ming Beiya's side, saying, "Qi'er greets the Imperial Preceptor."
Her voice was soft and slightly seductive, and she looked at Ming Beiya with a charming gaze, biting her lower lip coquettishly.
However, Ming Beiya didn't even spare Shangguan Qi a glance, his gaze remaining fixed on Mo Shisheng in Shangguan Xuan's arms.
The girl was wearing a white shirt today, with the cuffs and hem tied with ribbons, which made her look capable and heroic, but also made her look even more slender and delicate.
But at this moment, this delicate figure was being held in Shangguan Xuan's arms. Ming Beiya felt annoyed and his narrow phoenix eyes turned cold. He pursed his thin lips and said with a hint of displeasure, "Get up."
"yes."
The person kneeling behind him finally stood up, but Shangguan Xuan, who was holding Mo Shisheng, could not perform the proper bow, so he said softly, "I am holding my sister and it is inconvenient for me to perform the proper bow. Please forgive me, Grand Preceptor."
"It's alright, it's just that the Protector General seems to be holding on too tightly, so I, your Preceptor, will take over for you." Ming Beiya said calmly, taking a step forward to stand in front of Shangguan Xuan, his gaze only able to see Mo Shisheng.
"No need to trouble the Imperial Preceptor, Your Majesty..."
Ming Beiya didn't give Shangguan Xuan a chance to finish speaking, forcefully snatching Mo Shisheng from his arms. Shangguan Xuan was afraid of Mo Shisheng, so he had no choice but to let go.
A cold glint flashed in Shangguan Xuan's eyes. "Is this rather inappropriate, Grand Preceptor?"
"What does this national teacher do? Does the general have to teach him?" Ming Beiya said calmly, exuding a powerful aura.
Shangguan Xuan felt a tightness in his chest and used a great deal of willpower to barely stand. Looking up at Ming Beiya's calm and composed expression, he realized just how vast the difference in their abilities truly was!
Mo Shisheng was naturally paying attention to their every move, but she was too weak to speak, so she could only glare fiercely at Ming Beiya with her watery eyes.
However, what she perceived as fierceness was, in Ming Beiya's eyes, as adorable as a kitten...
