...
While Mu Qingcheng was chopping vegetables, she was distracted and her finger was suddenly cut. The pain brought her back to her senses.
Looking up, I saw Lin Qiu standing at the doorway.
He was still holding Bei Yin in his arms, his handsome face expressionless as he stared at her intently.
Mu Qingcheng looked down at her wound, sighed softly, washed her hand in the water tank, and then wrapped it with a piece of burlap.
Looking at Linqiu, she had a vague sense of unease, but she didn't ask immediately. Instead, she walked up to Linqiu and said, "Let's go to the restaurant and talk."
"..."
Lin Qiu did not answer, but her gaze followed Mu Qingcheng.
It wasn't until Lin Qiu followed Mu Qingcheng into the restaurant that she realized there wasn't a single customer inside.
Bei Yin seemed to have fallen asleep, so Lin Qiu gently placed him on the soft couch and then sat opposite Mu Qingcheng.
"Mo Shisheng has disappeared."
"What's the meaning?"
Lin Qiu simply said "Mo Shisheng disappeared," leaving Mu Qingcheng completely bewildered and puzzled.
"She transferred the poison from Ming Beiya to herself, and also awakened her demonic eyes, before disappearing with Shi Youmi and the others."
Lin Qiu explained the whole story in a few words, and then looked at Mu Qingcheng, "Her whereabouts are unknown, and no one can find her. Moreover, the poison in Ming Beiya's body has reached an incurable stage, and her condition is probably not good either."
"..."
After listening to Lin Qiu's words, Mu Qingcheng narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the seat where Mo Shisheng had sat when she first met him.

Although the streets were bustling, they were separated on both sides, leaving a wide road in the middle for carriages to travel on.
As the noise arose, Mo Shisheng walked into a restaurant, found a good spot, and looked through the window in the direction from which the sound came.
There were about a dozen carriages, each one luxurious and grand, and they looked very valuable.
Mo Shisheng smiled slightly, raised her hand to hold the small wine glass in front of her, and took a small sip.
Her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, concealing the emotions within them, making them difficult to discern.
The curtain of a carriage was lifted, revealing Shangguan Yue's delicate and beautiful face to everyone.
Upon seeing her appearance, everyone was not only surprised, but also felt a great sense of disappointment.
"The saintess is stunningly beautiful, so how come her daughter looks so ordinary?"
"Yes, her profile only resembles the saintess somewhat, but her appearance is nothing like hers..."
"Exactly, exactly! The Holy Maiden's beauty is so stunning that it's unforgettable. Why isn't the Goddess the same?"
"..."
Many such comments circulated from the crowd. Mo Shisheng scoffed lightly, "Just an imposter, how could it possibly resemble someone?"
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a carriage behind Shangguan Yue. A gentle breeze blew by, and the curtain was slightly opened.
Mo Shisheng's gaze met the one inside the carriage, but she reacted quickly, immediately looking away.
At that time, Mu Qingcheng never associated Mo Shisheng with the identity of a goddess. She always wore a silver mask, hiding her true face behind it, making it impossible for anyone to see any trace of her true appearance.
The reason Mu Qingcheng noticed her in the first place was simply because she was different from everyone else and she particularly wanted people to know more about her.
