Seemingly noticing Mo Shisheng's confusion, Nan Xiao slowly explained, "I just used my soul power. I wasn't a big target, so I just looked around the lake and found your belt, so I came back."
"Your soul just left your body?"
Mo Shisheng frowned slightly. Could the power of the Southern Kingdom's Soul Control really allow one to control the soul outside the body?
Not entirely.
Nan Xiao smiled faintly, slowly lay back down, and as she closed her eyes, she murmured, "We're all just frogs in a well; we don't see the whole picture..."
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng's gaze lingered on Nan Xiao for a few more moments. Soon after, she felt tired and lay down, preoccupied with her own thoughts.
Qingluan stayed by Mo Shisheng's side the whole time. When she saw Mo Shisheng fall asleep, she also closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep...
Outside Cloud Mist Ridge, the instructors had set up tents. During the seven-day training period for the students, they were not allowed to leave Cloud Mist Ridge even for a moment.
Just as Bai Hehan was about to lie down comfortably on the bed to rest, a cool breeze blew by, startling him so much that he immediately stood up. Upon seeing who it was, Bai Hehan raised an eyebrow slightly, "What wind blew Your Highness here?"
Ming Beiya pursed his lips and remained silent, his cold eyes sweeping over Bai Hehan, who immediately became obedient. "Your Highness, it's so late, is there something you need?"
After glancing at Bai Hehan, Ming Beiya walked over and sat down beside him, her posture lazy and casual, her long legs bent and her arms draped lazily over her knees.
His exquisite profile was particularly captivating in the candlelight, and he spoke slowly in a deep voice, "Why are you so concerned about someone?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Hehan froze, stunned and unsure how to react, until Ming Beiya's icy gaze came over, bringing him back to his senses.
Bai Hehan nearly bit his tongue as he spoke, his wicked phoenix eyes filled with disbelief, "Your Highness, is yours that girl, Shangguan Yan?"
Upon hearing the name Shangguan Yan, Ming Beiya's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and he subconsciously said, "She is not Shangguan Yan."
"Then who is she?"
Bai Hehan continued the conversation, only to be met with another cold glance from Ming Beiya.
He coughed lightly and continued, "If you start to care about someone, it's definitely because you like them. Think about it, if you like someone, you'll want to know if they're happy or if they're hurt, right?"
"impossible."
Ming Beiya coldly denied it, "If you keep acting inappropriately, I'll rip your tongue out!"
"The earth can bear witness! I'm serious!"
Bai Hehan also put away his playful expression and became serious. "Your Highness, don't resist this feeling of liking someone. It's not as bad as you think."
"..."
Gradually, the temperature in the air dropped, and Bai Hehan wisely refrained from bringing it up again, lest he evoke bad memories for Ming Beiya, in which case he would be the one to suffer.
However, since Ming Beiya had asked the question, Bai Hehan still gently replied, "If Your Highness begins to care about someone, then you definitely won't be able to bear seeing her hurt, you'll want to get close to her, and possess her..."
He didn't know if Ming Beiya had taken his words to heart, but when Ming Beiya left, his back view was still lonely and aloof, carrying an arrogant and domineering air.
