As soon as the guard spoke, Situ Xue's eyes widened as she looked at Mo Shisheng, her raised hand trembling slightly at the fingertips.
"How could that be! She's from the Shangguan family of Qi Kingdom! Are you all confused? I'll have to ask Father Emperor!"
Situ Xue was filled with disbelief. She knew that a distinguished guest had come from the South, but she did not know that the girl Mo was the Shangguan Yan she thought she was!
She turned to find the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Mo Shisheng arrogantly, "You! Come with me!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng didn't even glance at her, and turned to walk in the opposite direction.
Enraged, Situ Xue raised her hand and attacked her. The attack was so fast that even the guards around her couldn't react in time.
Mo Shisheng sensed it the moment she was about to make her move. She subtly moved aside, and instantly shifted the sword in the guard's hand to Situ Xue's side, the scabbard pressed against her neck.
“Situ Xue, don’t try to challenge my bottom line again and again.”
Mo Shisheng spoke coldly, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes, with a hint of bloodthirsty sharpness.
Situ Xue was stunned by Mo Shisheng's gaze; she hadn't even seen how Mo Shisheng made his move. Her gaze slowly shifted downwards, and she discovered that the sword was floating in the air.
A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, "You!"
Mo Shisheng curled her lips coldly, stepped to Situ Xue's side, and looked down at her as if she were an ant on the ground.
“I am a distinguished guest invited from the South. Even without my cultivation, I can kill you in the blink of an eye.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a cold sensation pressed firmly against Situ Xue's face, followed by a sharp pain and a stream of wet liquid.
She didn't dare move, only able to roll her eyes and threaten, "Shangguan Yan, you! If you dare touch me, you will absolutely... Ah!"
Too lazy to continue the nonsense, Mo Shisheng increased her strength a bit, her slender fingers holding the dagger, and gently made a cut on Situ Xue's face.
"If you don't learn your lesson, I'll make you lose this face right now."
"You! Shangguan!"
"I am Mo Shisheng."
Finally unable to hold back any longer, Mo Shisheng said coldly. If the current situation didn't prevent it, she really wanted to kill this white lotus flower jumping around in front of her.
Before she even killed Situ Xue, she not only faced the wrath of the Situ Kingdom, but also that of the Southern Kingdom.
Furthermore, Shangguan Zong hasn't been rescued yet, and Situ Xue will still be needed then, so she can't die.
As if venting his anger, Mo Shisheng lowered his hand and forcefully slashed her face with the sharp blade.
"stop!"
A clear, melodious voice rang out, and Mo Shisheng knew who it belonged to without turning around.
She sheathed the dagger, and the longsword was caught by a guard just as it was about to fall to the ground.
Mo Shisheng strode away without even glancing behind her.
The oppressive aura around her suddenly dissipated, and Situ Xue's legs went weak, but the man stretched out his long arm and steadily supported her.
"Your Highness...this concubine...this concubine's face..."
Situ Xue threw herself into Nan Xiao's arms, hugging his strong waist tightly with both hands, tears streaming down her face as if they were free.
Upon hearing this, Nan Xiao lowered his eyes, a hint of pity on his face. He reached out and held Situ Xue's chin, gently wiping away the bloodstains, and found that the wound was not deep at all.
His eyes were clear and cold, calm and unwavering. He took out the ointment and applied it to her face with very gentle movements.
