"I...Grandpa, no, I didn't greet him..."
Shangguan Qi was caught off guard and suddenly found himself speechless.
Shangguan Qi hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and she nervously clenched her hands together.
Seeing this, Mo Shisheng said softly, "Grandpa, my cousin already belongs to someone else, so please don't scare her."
Since Mo Shisheng had spoken up for Shangguan Qi, Shangguan Leiting naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her any further. He nodded, looking at Shangguan Qi with a warning in his eyes, "Don't cause trouble for no reason in the future."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Shangguan Qi bit her lip, her face full of resentment.
...
Lanyuan Pavilion.
As soon as Shangguan Qi entered her room, she smashed all the cups on the table onto the floor. "Why? Why? Why! Every time, this bitch gets all of Grandpa's attention!"
When Shangguan Murou arrived, she saw a mess on the ground. Her eyes darkened slightly. "Qi'er, are you really that impatient?"
"mother!"
Shangguan Qi's eyes were red with anger. After hearing Shangguan Murou's words, she bit her lip and stomped her foot, "How come this bitch seems like a completely different person after escaping death once?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Shangguan Murou's eyes held a warning glint as she lowered her voice, "Can't you think before you speak? Can't you be a little more careful?"
Only Fangruo and her mother were in the room. Shangguan Qi frowned as she looked at her mother, her voice slightly hoarse, "Mother, Fangruo has been with me since I was a child!"
“I am not her, I am someone who has ears on the other side of the wall.”
The collateral bloodline of the Shangguan family is quite extensive, with only Shangguan Yan being a direct descendant!
"Mother, is it true that souls can be resurrected in this world?" After calming down, Shangguan Qi pulled Shangguan Murou's hand and sat down. "That good-for-nothing Shangguan Yan, we let her escape death last time, but I didn't expect her meridians to be able to recover!"
"She's just someone else's alchemist, so she's using her as a 'test subject.' Stop overthinking it. How could there be such nonsense as possession?" Shangguan Murou gently patted Shangguan Qi's hand. "You just haven't been resting well lately. Dealing with Shangguan Yan is something we have plenty of time for."
“But as long as she’s not eliminated, I feel like there’s always a pair of eyes watching me!” Shangguan Qi frowned deeply. “Mother, please think of something!”
“Your brother will be back soon. This time, the Jialuo Academy will give five spots to our Shangguan family. I will try to get one of them for you from your grandfather.”
Shangguan Murou's gaze gradually turned cold. "Your maternal grandfather will definitely give Shangguan Yan a spot out of favoritism. At that time, all you need to do is make sure she has some problems during her training."
"Is my brother coming back?"
Shangguan Qi was overjoyed. Upon hearing that Shangguan Xuan was coming back, his tone became even more excited, "Brother Ting has won another battle, hasn't he?"
"Um."
Shangguan Murou nodded slightly, "The Emperor will hold a welcoming banquet, which will be attended by the young masters and ladies of noble families. So you just need to focus on your cultivation these next few days. I will help you get into the Jialuo Academy. There, you won't have to worry about not having a chance to make your move."
"Mom, you're so good to me!"
Shangguan Qi happily threw herself into Shangguan Murou's arms, a glint of calculation flashing in her eyes. Shangguan Yan, I don't believe you'll survive this time!
