"It would be strange if you knew it was covered by your sleeve."
I was feeling a bit down at first, but after joking around with Qingluan for a bit, my mood improved considerably.
Mo Shisheng looked up at the sky and found that the weather was nice today, with blue skies, white clouds, and bright sunshine.
"What happened to your hand?"
Qingluan was fixated on the injury on Mo Shisheng's hand when she suddenly realized something, and her expression changed drastically. "Was it Ling Qi who did this? I'm going to settle the score with her!"
As she spoke, Qingluan turned around and was about to rush to settle scores with Lingqi. Her momentum was so strong that it seemed she wanted to tear Lingqi to pieces.
Mo Shisheng reached out and pulled Qingluan back, her eyes filled with a hint of helplessness. "It has nothing to do with her."
"You're still defending her? Did she say or do something to upset you again? Shi Sheng, you weren't like this before! She's even caused you to get hurt!"
Before Mo Shisheng could finish speaking, Qingluan rattled off a string of words like a machine gun, leaving Mo Shisheng speechless.
"You think she's the only one capable of hurting me?"
Mo Shisheng tilted her head slightly to look at Qingluan, "Hmm?"
"But...but the injury on your hand is somehow related to her, isn't it?"
Qingluan knew that Lingqi would never be able to hurt Moshisheng, but when she saw the injury on Moshisheng's wrist, Qingluan felt heartache.
"I guess so."
Mo Shisheng thought for a moment, then raised her hand and pulled down her sleeve to cover the injury. It was indeed related to Ling Qi, because it was caused by Ming Beiya arguing with her yesterday because of Ling Qi.
Thinking about the unpleasant events of last night, Mo Shisheng realized she hadn't seen Ming Beiya this morning, so she asked softly, "Where did Ming Beiya go so early this morning?"
"I don't know either."
Qingluan shook her head, looking sullen, and muttered softly, "Shisheng, why don't you rub some medicine on there?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected Qingluan to still be so concerned about her injury, and she couldn't help but find it both amusing and heartbreaking.
This silly girl.
Mo Shisheng raised her hand and rubbed Qingluan's head. "My injury will heal in a few days. Do you think it's like that time you hit your head and got such a big bump that it took several days for the swelling to go down even after applying medicine?"
Hearing Mo Shisheng bring up that embarrassing incident again, Qingluan couldn't help but blush slightly. She said awkwardly, "Shisheng! That happened a long time ago!"
"..."
Qingluan's words suddenly reminded Mo Shisheng of the time when that incident occurred. It was then that she discovered Ming Beiya's poison, which is why she stayed with him in the Demon Realm.
Thinking back to how well they got along back then, it's hard to believe they're now like enemies, locked in a bitter struggle.
A hint of mockery flashed in Mo Shisheng's eyes. "Yes, it's been a long time."
"..."
Qingluan was quick-witted. As soon as she noticed that Mo Shisheng's mood was off, she knew what Mo Shisheng was thinking. Qingluan frowned tightly and reached out to pull Mo Shisheng's other uninjured hand, with a very light touch.
"Shi Sheng, everything will be alright. You and Grandpa have such a deep relationship, you two..."
"No matter how deep the bond is, he has Ling Qi by his side now, doesn't he?"
Mo Shisheng chuckled softly, took a deep breath, and exhaled a breath of stale air. A faint smile appeared on her face. "I know my limits, and I know how to seize opportunities. Don't create too much trouble for yourself."
Mo Shisheng knew Qingluan's personality all too well. However, even if she really targeted Lingqi for her own sake, she probably wouldn't get away with it, since she was just a subordinate of Ming Beiya.
