"How could Yan'er let the Imperial Preceptor hold her? That's extremely disrespectful!"
Shangguan Leiting stepped forward, intending to pull Mo Shisheng out of Ming Beiya's arms. The man slightly turned aside, his brows furrowed, a hint of displeasure appearing in his eyes, his gaze fixed on Shangguan Leiting.
"Lord Shangguan didn't object to her getting close to my national teacher before, so why has he changed his mind now?"
Ming Beiya said in a low, cold voice, a slight smile playing on his lips, "To be honest, Lord Shangguan, her birth chart is extremely compatible with my national teacher's; she is my national teacher's destined soulmate."
"impossible!"
Shangguan Leiting suddenly became agitated. After realizing that Ming Beiya's gaze was fixed on him, he calmed down and quickly concealed his emotions, continuing, "I am Yan'er. How could she possibly be worthy of the Grand Preceptor? She is nothing more than..."
"Who dares to question the words of our own teacher?"
After coldly uttering these words, Ming Beiya turned and left with Mo Shisheng in his arms.
Shangguan Leiting suddenly turned into this kind of person. Luckily, Mo Shisheng was asleep and didn't see it, otherwise she would have been very upset.
Thinking of this, Ming Beiya lowered his eyes and glanced at the girl in his arms. If Shangguan Leiting's change was related to the fact that Mo Shisheng was not of the Shangguan family bloodline, then what was her true background?
A girl's face suddenly flashed through my mind, and in the image, that girl's face seemed to gradually overlap with Mo Shisheng's...
The thought flashed through Ming Beiya's mind. He frowned, and a hint of unease flickered in his dark eyes.
No, she absolutely cannot be that girl, absolutely not!
After carrying Mo Shisheng to the Bamboo Garden, Ming Beiya wiped her body clean and then left.
No sooner had he left the Shangguan residence than another dark figure scaled over the wall and entered.
He walked straight toward the study, kicked open the door, and saw Shangguan Leiting sitting at the desk. Upon seeing the man's face, his expression turned deathly pale.
Feng Yi's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile. "Old man, you've raised Qiu Rao's child for so long, and now your own son is suffering terribly in another country. Don't you know?"
"What?"
Shangguan Leiting suddenly became agitated, "My son...where is he?"
"Now you've remembered to care."
Feng Yi scoffed, "Old man, Situ Guo's target is the daughter of your enemy. Now that you can't catch her, your son has been captured and made into a poisoner. Your Shangguan family line is probably going to end."
"You and my son are in the Kingdom of Situ!"
Shangguan Leiting's cloudy eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up from the table, but sat back down because he used too much force.
"Old man, I'm not here to waste my breath on you. What you do is up to you. Shangguan Zong's body can't hold out for much longer."
Feng Yi smiled cruelly, his body moving like a ghost, leaving without a trace.
After he left, Shangguan Leiting slumped in his chair, his eyes filled with hatred as he thought about what happened more than 20 years ago.
He sent someone to summon Shangguan Murou to his study that very night, and the two discussed things until the wee hours of the morning.
Before dawn, Shangguan Leiting headed towards the Bamboo Garden, where everything was quiet. When he opened the door and saw Mo Shisheng lying on the bed, Mo Shisheng opened her eyes before he even got close to the bed.
Shangguan Leiting stepped forward and struck Mo Shisheng hard on the back of the neck with a palm strike. He only breathed a sigh of relief after watching her close her eyes and fall down.
