"Mo Shisheng, do you realize that I was too naive before?"
Qi Yufeng smiled faintly, "Only those who hold real power can do whatever they want."
"Then do as you please."
Mo Shisheng raised her hand and cleaved a path through the Imperial Guards. Her gaze fell lightly on Situ Yu. "Let's go. Today, I will repay the favor you did for giving me Shangguan Zong's corpse. When we meet again, we will settle the score for the tragic deaths of my brothers."
Qi Yufeng was right. Even if it was all Feng Yi's doing, Situ Guo was not exactly clean either. Even Situ Yu's hands were stained with the blood of his brothers who had shared life and death with her.
But no matter what, she will make sure that Situ Yu leaves Qi Kingdom safely today.
Not for any other reason, but simply because she considered things one thing at a time. If Situ Yu was willing to give her Shangguan Zong's corpse, then she would not attack Situ Yu this time.
Next time we meet, we'll settle all our old and new scores.
Situ Yu kept turning back, his brows furrowed, clearly wanting to say something to Mo Shisheng, but now seemed not the right time to speak, so he refrained from saying a word.
Seeing this, Qi Yufeng's gaze gradually darkened. He suddenly raised his hand, and seeing his gesture, the Imperial Guards prepared to move. Mo Shisheng simply gently closed her slender fingers, and all the Imperial Guards who were about to move were gathered together.
Even though there's nothing binding them, they just can't break free from those invisible shackles.
"Mo Shisheng, you release your people. I certainly won't leave such a menace to go back with me."
Qi Yufeng's tone was icy, leaving no room for negotiation. Seeing that the Imperial Guards were all under control, he leaped forward to capture Situ Yu, but Mo Shisheng instantly stepped in front of Qi Yufeng.
Her beautiful face was expressionless, her gaze gently falling on Qi Yufeng. "Don't waste your energy. I want to protect someone, and none of you can hurt him in the slightest."
"Mo Shisheng, if I..."
When Situ Yu noticed Qi Yufeng heading in his direction, he turned around. When he saw Mo Shisheng standing between the two of them, his brows furrowed even more.
"Enough with the nonsense, leave Qi Kingdom immediately."
Mo Shisheng gave a cold snort, not turning her head, her eyes fixed on Qi Yufeng.
Her actions were simply a message to Qi Yufeng: they could forget about harming Situ Yu today, because with Mo Shisheng around, none of them were a match for her.
Qi Yufeng chuckled coldly, taking a step back. "Mo Shisheng, if you knew the truth about something, would you still be protecting him like this?"
"..."
Intuition told Mo Shisheng that what Qi Yufeng said was definitely not a good thing, and it might even be related to her and Situ Yu, but Mo Shisheng still chose to stick to her position.
She released the Imperial Guards only after Situ Yu left.
A sharp pain surged through her chest, and Mo Shisheng felt the poison taking effect. She raised her hand to rub her temples, her face gradually turning pale.
As he stepped into the room, Qi Yufeng reached out and blocked Mo Shisheng's way, glancing at the Imperial Guards. "You all step back."
"yes."
When the Imperial Guards dispersed, Shangguan Xuan was still standing to the side, hesitating, seemingly wanting to stay. However, Qi Yufeng glanced at him indifferently and said, "Shangguan Xuan, you should go down first too."
"……yes."
Shangguan Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still bowed and withdrew.
