When everyone had left, leaving only Mo Shisheng and Qi Yufeng, the cold aura surrounding him suddenly dissipated, and his tone became somewhat weary, "Mo Shisheng, how have you been these past years?"
"You need not worry about how I am doing, Qi Yufeng. Now, Qi Kingdom is the most powerful of the four kingdoms and does not need to rely on any other country. You should be concerned about national affairs."
Mo Shisheng didn't turn her head, her tone indifferent, as if Qi Yufeng were a complete stranger.
"Mo Shisheng, does it really have to be this way between us?"
He probably hadn't expected Mo Shisheng to have such a strong prejudice against him. He frowned slightly, took a few steps around to stand in front of Mo Shisheng, and said, "We've been through so much together. Can't we even sit down and have a calm talk now?"
"Now that you're venting your hatred on the Situ Kingdom, why don't you go and rescue Qi Muxiao?"
Seeing Qi Yufeng standing in front of her, she frowned slightly. "Qi Muxiao was so close to you, and now that you hold such great power, all you're thinking about is revenge?"
"The Southern Kingdom and the Phoenix Kingdom are already intertwined, bound together by life and death. No matter how dominant the Qi Kingdom is, it cannot arbitrarily attack either of them."
Qi Yufeng spoke softly, "Situ Kingdom will eventually join forces with those two countries."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng fell silent for a moment. She lowered her eyes slightly and suddenly seemed to understand why Qi Yufeng was so determined to imprison Situ Yu in Qi Kingdom.
But even if she had known all this from the beginning, she would still have let Situ Yu leave.
After all, Situ Yu was someone she brought with her, so naturally she wouldn't let him lose his life in Qi Kingdom because of this matter.
Since Qi Yufeng has the strength to get to where he is today, he naturally doesn't necessarily have to take down Situ Yu today.
If Situ Yu could be imprisoned today, it would bring us one step closer to rescuing Qi Muxiao.
Mo Shisheng sighed softly, "Even if I had known it would turn out this way, it still would have been like this."
“I know that you’ve always been the type of person who, once you’ve made up your mind about something, won’t change it, and no one can persuade you otherwise.”
Hearing Mo Shisheng's words, Qi Yufeng smiled gently, "I stayed not to tell you these things, I just really wanted to know how you've been all these years."
"Do you think I look bad?"
Mo Shisheng's lips curled slightly, but she felt a growing pain in her heart and her brows furrowed slightly. "Qi Yufeng, I have things to take care of since I came back. If I have the chance, I will come to you for a good talk. Let's leave it at that for today."
"That……"
Before Qi Yufeng could finish speaking, Mo Shisheng walked past him into the room. When the door closed, the light in Qi Yufeng's eyes dimmed slightly, but because of Mo Shisheng's promise, Qi Yufeng felt a little better about his disappointment.
He snapped out of his thoughts, turned around, and walked out of the bamboo garden.
However, they hadn't gone far when they keenly heard a muffled groan coming from inside the house.
Knowing he shouldn't barge into the room like that, Qi Yufeng was concerned for Mo Shisheng's safety, so he rushed in and saw Mo Shisheng curled up in a ball by the bed.
She seemed to be in a lot of pain; you could see her body trembling slightly even from behind.
Qi Yufeng strode over, picked up Mo Shisheng, and placed her on the bed. He then covered her with a blanket and gently patted her face with one hand.
When his hands were covered in cold sweat, he asked anxiously, "Mo Shisheng, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
