Upon hearing Mo Shisheng's question, both Shangguan Xuan and Qi Yufeng looked puzzled, their brows furrowing slightly and their eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
As Mo Shisheng turned to ask, the man lying on the soft couch slightly curved his thin lips. As if sensing that Mo Shisheng was about to turn around, he quickly resumed his aloof demeanor.
The girl turned her head and her gaze fell on Ming Beiya. Only then did she realize why she had felt her dress was somewhat familiar: the intricate patterns on her dress were exactly the same as those on the man's clothes.
At first glance, they do look somewhat like matching couple outfits.
Mo Shisheng sat down on the soft couch, leaned over, and placed one hand on the side of Ming Beiya's head, whispering, "Ming Beiya, I'm leaving today. Are you still planning to ignore me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man, who had been pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, staring intently at her with his dark eyes, his thin lips slightly pursed, without uttering a word.
Seeing Ming Beiya like this, Mo Shisheng found a sense of grievance and helplessness in him. She gently placed her hand on the man's beautiful face, "Ming Beiya, wait for me to come back, okay?"
"..."
The man remained silent, but when Mo Shisheng placed her hand on his face, he raised his large hand and enveloped her hand in his palm.
A dry, warm hand enveloped hers, and Mo Shisheng felt a sense of security and happiness welling up from the bottom of her heart. She smiled slightly, her eyes filled with a faint smile, "Wait for me, I will conquer a vast land for you."
The girl smiled faintly, her eyes exuding a domineering, kingly aura. Little did she know that these words would become a reality long afterward.
Ming Beiya's gaze was fixed on her. If it weren't for Feng Yi, he probably would never have associated Mo Shisheng with that girl...
After all, the girl died at his hands, her soul scattered, with no chance of survival.
Looking at Mo Shisheng's stunning face now, Ming Beiya could vaguely see similarities between her and that girl.
Ming Beiya's expression fell into Mo Shisheng's eyes, but she felt that the man was seeing another person through her.
Who does she look like?
Who is that person?
Ming Beiya's beloved
It's no wonder Mo Shisheng overthinks things, because Ming Beiya's eyes held a suppressed emotion, a mixture of regret and love... that love made her feel suffocated.
Mo Shisheng didn't want to look anymore, so she pulled her hand back, turned around, and walked up to Shangguan Xuan and Qi Yufeng. "Let's go, let's set off now."
Shangguan Xuan nodded slightly, and together with Qi Yufeng, they got up and followed Mo Shisheng towards the outside of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
Ming Beiya sat up from his seat, looked at his empty palms, and felt a sudden sharp pain in his chest.
Watching Mo Shisheng's departing figure, he did not follow her. His eyes dimmed slightly until Mo Shisheng's figure completely disappeared from sight.
After leaving the Imperial Preceptor's residence, a carriage was waiting outside. After the three of them got into the carriage, Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao hurriedly ran out. Before the curtain was even lowered, Mo Shisheng could clearly see the two people standing outside the carriage.
Their eyes were red and swollen. Jiang Yao moved her lips slightly, "Sister, are you going to abandon us again?"
"..."
Mo Shisheng frowned slightly. "On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. You are safest in this imperial city. Even if I am not here, Ming Beiya can protect you."
"But we just want to stay with our sister..."
Jiang Ge spoke softly; this was the first time she had disobeyed Mo Shisheng's orders.
