Mo Shisheng covered her ears, took a step back, and gave Ming Beiya a resentful look. "That's too much!"
"Oh……"
A soft laugh escaped from Ming Beiya's crimson lips as he reached out and ruffled Mo Shisheng's soft hair. "Go quickly."
Mo Shisheng ignored Ming Beiya, smoothed her hair, and then walked angrily out of Yunwu Ridge.
Watching her departing figure, which carried a hint of emotion, Ming Beiya found her incredibly adorable. The smile on his lips deepened, and he felt quite pleased.
Mo Shisheng...
These three words may just be a name for Mo Shisheng, but they are of great significance to Ming Beiya.
He murmured softly as if he had found a precious treasure. When he thought that Mo Shisheng was willing to believe him, a touch of warmth appeared in Ming Beiya's usually cold eyes. Since she believed him, he would certainly not let her down.

Outside Yunwu Ridge.
Shangguan Xuan was poisoned by snake venom and is still unconscious. Although Shangguan Ying's face still showed a calm expression, the emotions inadvertently revealed in her eyes still expressed her anxiety at this moment.
"Xue'er, you watch over your brother, I'm going to get the antidote." Shangguan Ying said to Shangguan Xue beside her, then placed the wet handkerchief in her hand on Shangguan Xuan's forehead to cool him down.
Shangguan Xue nodded, obediently squatted down next to Shangguan Xuan, took the handkerchief from Shangguan Ying's hand, and continued to change the water for his cold compress.
On the other side, Situ Xue was also very weak, leaning against a tree trunk being taken care of, while Situ Yu stood not far away.
As Shangguan Ying approached her, Situ Xue let out a cold snort, neither too loud nor too soft, "If you've come to ask me for the antidote, then you might as well go back. I'm not giving it to you."
"Situ Xue, I know that my brother was presumptuous in attacking you earlier, but this is a matter of life and death, so I hope you won't act rashly." Shangguan Ying frowned slightly and said in a gentle tone.
"A matter of life and death"
Situ Xue chuckled softly, as if she had heard a funny joke, but the sound was grating and sharp. "Shangguan Ying, what kind of good person are you playing? Shangguan Xuan just tried to kill me for Shangguan Yan. Why didn't you care about human life then?"
"I'm the one who saved you."
Shangguan Ying disliked idle chatter and stated her point directly.
Perhaps this statement might be made with some consideration for others, but for Situ Xue, it would be completely inappropriate.
Upon hearing this, Situ Xue's charming face darkened further. "Shangguan Ying, are you trying to remind me that Shangguan Xuan tried to kill me but failed?"
"That's not what I meant, I..."
"Get out of here, I'm not giving you the antidote."
Situ Xue said impatiently, "How much sincerity can your Shangguan family have? You're pretending to ask Shangguan Xuan for 'medicine' now just to avoid being criticized, right? Don't you think about what you did to Shangguan Yan, abandoning her to team up with us? You're really two-faced!"
Originally directed at Mo Shisheng, Situ Xueyue vented all her dissatisfaction on Shangguan Ying, her words becoming increasingly vicious: "I just hope that bitch Shangguan Yan dies a horrible death in Cloud Mist Ridge, devoured by beast souls until not even a bone fragment remains!"
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
Behind them, a lazy and soft voice slowly drifted over, carrying an inherent arrogance and domineering aura. Everyone present shuddered and turned to look at the newcomer.
