With Mo Shisheng's assurance, Shangguan Xue felt much better. As she obediently stepped out of Mo Shisheng's embrace, she tried to open her watery eyes wide, attempting to see Mo Shisheng's appearance clearly.
Unfortunately, the night was too dark, and only a blurry outline could be seen.
Mo Shisheng chuckled softly, "Go ahead."
"Um……"
Shangguan Xue was somewhat disappointed. When she turned to leave, she looked back every three steps with reluctance. As she turned her head for the last time, the clouds that had been obscuring the moon slowly moved away, and the cool moonlight shone on Mo Shisheng's face.
Unfortunately, Shangguan Xue was already quite far away and couldn't see Mo Shisheng's face clearly. Otherwise, they wouldn't have missed each other for so long because they mistook one person for the other, and it wouldn't have led to such a tragic ending...

The next day.
Mo Shisheng slept very soundly, a rare occurrence where she woke up naturally. When she woke up, she sat up contentedly and stretched.
When she removed the bandage from her left arm, the wound was completely scabbed over. She gently wiped the wound while washing up, without wrapping it back up. After applying the ointment, she changed into a smoky green dress, put on a mask, and left the bamboo garden.
She was supposed to see her grandfather yesterday, but she was too tired and missed it.
Mo Shisheng didn't let Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao follow her. She walked towards the front yard by herself. When she entered the hall, only Shangguan Leiting was sitting inside.
The atmosphere was a little quiet. Mo Shisheng pursed her lips slightly, stepped up to Shangguan Leiting, and softly called out, "Grandpa."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Leiting slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on Mo Shisheng with a touch of affection, "Yan'er, good child, come and sit next to Grandpa."
Mo Shisheng didn't refuse. As she sat down next to Shangguan Leiting, he spoke softly, "You've suffered these past few days, child. Do you know who's targeting you?"
"have no idea."
Recalling the scene in the suburbs that day, Mo Shisheng's expression turned cold. Those were all Foundation Establishment experts. It would be impossible for someone without a powerful background to hire so many people to deal with her.
It seems that the person targeting her really went all out. So many Foundation Establishment experts were wiped out in the end. The person behind this must be furious.
"His Majesty requests that you come to the palace with me today. If you are not fully recovered, your grandfather will go to the palace alone." Shangguan Leiting raised his hand and gently patted Mo Shisheng's shoulder. "Good child, you have suffered too much."
Mo Shisheng shook her head. "It's alright, Grandpa. I'll go to the palace with you."
"Okay, okay, Grandpa will go change his clothes." Shangguan Leiting smiled, slowly stood up from his seat and walked into the room. He changed into a clean long robe and came out.
As Mo Shisheng took a few steps closer and helped Shangguan Leiting onto the carriage, her mind was filled with thoughts of Ming Beiya.
I don't know what he was going to do, I don't know where he went...
Thinking about it this way, Mo Shisheng suddenly realized that she knew absolutely nothing about Ming Beiya, this monstrous talent, and didn't understand anything about him at all.
This feeling is really uncomfortable...
Unbeknownst to her, Ming Beiya had also taken a place in Mo Shisheng's heart. Although his presence wasn't very obvious, it was enough for Mo Shisheng to think of him when she was lost in thought...
"Yan'er, Yan'er?"
She only snapped back to reality when the sound of Shangguan Leiting grew clearer and clearer in her ears.
