After Mo Shisheng finished washing up and changed into a lake-blue dress, she headed towards Lan Yuan Pavilion.
She didn't let Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao follow her; she went to the entrance of Lan Yuan Pavilion alone. Upon entering, Mo Shisheng suddenly encountered a problem: she seemed to have no idea which courtyard Shangguan Xuan lived in…
She stood there in the courtyard, lost in thought, for quite a while, until Shangguan Xuan slowly walked over from the direction of the South Garden. Looking at Mo Shisheng, who was standing there motionless, he smiled slightly and said, "Why are you standing here? Don't you know how to go inside?"
"I forgot where you live."
Mo Shisheng subtly increased the distance between herself and Shangguan Xuan, tilting her head slightly upwards, her face veiled by a lake-blue silk scarf. "What do you want with me?"
"Can't I look for someone if there's nothing wrong?"
Shangguan Xuan smiled slightly and tried to reach out to touch the top of Mo Shisheng's head.
Noticing Shangguan Xuan's actions, Mo Shisheng frowned slightly, turned her face away, and looked at Shangguan Xuan with a hint of impatience in her peach blossom eyes.
Mo Shisheng's gaze made Shangguan Xuan's heart clench, and his throat felt dry. "Galo Academy is about to start recruiting. Our Shangguan family has six spots. Yan'er, are you going?"
"go."
Mo Shisheng nodded, "Galo Academy is a place everyone dreams of, how could I not go?"
"That's good." Shangguan Xuan smiled gently. "Did you rest well last night?"
"I've rested enough. If there's nothing else, brother, I'll be going now." For some reason, Mo Shisheng always felt that Shangguan Xuan's feelings for Shangguan Yan weren't so simple.
There was always a tenderness in his eyes that Mo Shisheng couldn't understand, as if it were something only lovers could have...
Having lived two lives, Mo Shisheng had never experienced matters of the heart, so she was exceptionally oblivious to romantic relationships. It was already quite remarkable that she could sense that something was wrong with Shangguan Xuan.
"I'll take you back."
Shangguan Xuan took a step closer to Mo Shisheng and said, "So much time has passed, and I haven't even gone to see your bamboo garden yet."
"I need to go back and cultivate, so it would be best if you didn't disturb me, elder brother."
Mo Shisheng subconsciously wanted to distance herself from Shangguan Xuan. They were both extremely familiar with Shangguan Yan. Although she was now in Shangguan Yan's body, their personalities were clearly two different people.
To avoid revealing any flaws, she should try to avoid contact with Shangguan Xuan as much as possible...
Mo Shisheng gave a faint smile and turned to leave.
When she returned to the bamboo garden, the first thing she did was gently pinch her left earlobe. "Xie, are you there?"
"..."
There was complete silence; no one answered.
Mo Shisheng frowned slightly. She hadn't heard Xie speak since going to the palace yesterday. She wondered if her exhaustion yesterday might have affected Xie.
With a lot on her mind, Mo Shisheng didn't dare to rush into refining the fennel grass into a pill. After all, she couldn't focus on refining medicine right now, or something unexpected might happen.
There is only one fennel grass, which means that Mo Shisheng can only succeed once, and there is no second chance!

Outside the imperial city stands a secluded mansion, exuding luxury and majesty from the inside out.
This is Ming Beiya's residence, the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
Ming Beiya has been acting strangely since he returned last night. The usually aloof Ming Beiya actually hugged Mo Shisheng and even brought back the red veil that Mo Shisheng used to cover her face.
