Shangguan Qi finally couldn't hold back any longer. No matter how scheming or ruthless she was, she couldn't withstand Shangguan Xuan's warnings.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Shangguan Xuan turned to leave, but after taking only two steps, he suddenly stopped. He said, "No matter who it is, if they hurt Yan'er, I will kill them with my own hands."
"..."
A deep shock flashed in Shangguan Qi's eyes, and then, the moment she suddenly looked up, her body seemed to be struck by lightning, and she stood frozen in place, unable to move.
Mo Shisheng was standing not far away. She was on her way to get her hair washed when she unexpectedly witnessed such a spectacular scene.
Shangguan Xuan's words truly shocked her, but Mo Shisheng wore a mask, and the surprise in her eyes vanished in an instant. Even if Shangguan Xuan's words were true, Mo Shisheng didn't need to believe him.
Shangguan Xuan seemed surprised to encounter Mo Shisheng under these circumstances. His handsome brows furrowed slightly. "Yan'er, you..."
"I'm here to wash my hair. If you're done talking, you should leave now." Mo Shisheng waved the comb in her hand, her tone cold.
"..."
Shangguan Xuan hesitated for a moment, but eventually left, leaving only Mo Shisheng and Shangguan Qi by the lake.
Shangguan Qi walked over to Mo Shisheng, her eyes still red, clearly indicating that she had just been crying.
Mo Shisheng hadn't expected to confront her now, but considering that tomorrow was the day to report to Jialuo Academy, there was no harm in confronting her now.
She didn't linger on Shangguan Qi for long, and walked straight towards the lake. Holding a piece of shampoo in her hand, she gently sat on a smooth stone slab, washed the shampoo in the lake, and then kneaded it in her palm.
Shangguan Qi was seething with anger. She thought Mo Shisheng would say something boastful to provoke her, but he didn't, and he didn't even bother to give her a glance!
Shangguan Qi felt insulted. She clenched her hands at her sides, turned around abruptly, and glared at Mo Shisheng sitting by the lake, growling, "Did you know from the beginning? So you've been pretending all this time?"
"Looks like you're not stupid after all."
Mo Shisheng chuckled lightly, and her reply of just this one sentence was enough to make Shangguan Qi so angry that his lungs ached.
A vicious glint flashed in Shangguan Qi's eyes. "Shangguan Yan, do you know you're no match for me, so you're pretending nothing happened?"
"Who gave you the audacity to say those things?"
Mo Shisheng gently splashed the water in the lake, lightly wetting her long hair, and then evenly applied the perilla leaf juice that she had kneaded with her toes to her long hair, gently rubbing it.
"Shangguan Yan, don't be so smug! Tomorrow is the day you enter the academy. Without Grandpa's protection, you are nothing!" Shangguan Qi didn't expect that her conversation with Shangguan Xuan would be overheard by Mo Shisheng. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to tear off the mask of civility now.
However, Shangguan Qi felt even more resentful when she thought about how Mo Shisheng knew everything she had done and was pretending not to know anything while staying by her side.
"I'm giving you this message."
Mo Shisheng said calmly.
"Shangguan Yan, don't believe what your elder brother said. Your existence is only an obstacle. We wish you would die sooner!"
"Is that so? Then I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Mo Shisheng smiled slightly. This Shangguan Qi really couldn't handle any stimulation. She said casually, "Shangguan Qi, the game has only just begun, don't be in a hurry."
