After the cultivators were taken away, only Ming Beiya and the fair-skinned young man remained on the stage.
Mo Shisheng was furious to see Ming Beiya still on the stage, but there was nothing she could do.
"Princess, what are the rules for the third round of the competition?"
Ming Beiya smiled, a beautiful smile emanating from his lips, his dark eyes fixed on her.
"..."
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
What's with the rush!
Hearing Ming Beiya urging her, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, staring at him with a cold light in her eyes, "The rules for the third round of the competition will be announced tomorrow. I'm tired today, so all of you may leave."
Although Mo Shisheng's voice was still young, it was incredibly domineering when he said those words.
"If the princess is tired, then she should rest. It's not too late to compete again tomorrow."
When Ming Beiya heard Mo Shisheng's words, he chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned.
Mo Shisheng was even angrier by his nonchalant demeanor. With a cold face, she threw off the blanket and jumped off the soft couch, leaving without looking back.
Watching Mo Shisheng leave, Nan Xiao and Qi Muxiao subconsciously turned their gazes toward Ming Beiya downstairs in the pavilion.
Ming Beiya didn't even glance at them before turning and leaving.
at night.
Mo Shisheng felt that the wind in the winter night made her exceptionally clear-headed. After washing up, she put on thick clothes and went into the yard. The heavy snow had stopped, and the snow on the ground had accumulated to the point that it was invisible when you stepped on it.
"Why aren't you asleep so late?"
Qi Muxiao walked over from the other side, followed by a palace maid. She glanced at Mo Shisheng and said to the maid, "You wait here first."
"yes."
The palace maid responded and stood still, no longer following Qi Muxiao forward.
Mo Shisheng stood there, and upon hearing Qi Muxiao's voice, she took a deep breath before turning around to look at him. "Why are you here?"
"I wanted to talk to you; I saw an old friend today."
Qi Muxiao smiled. Now in her thirties, she no longer had the shyness of a young girl, but instead possessed a more composed and mature demeanor, a quality that came from time and experience.
"Old friend?"
Mo Shisheng thought for a moment, then remembered that when Ming Beiya appeared, Qi Muxiao, Nan Xiao, and Situ Xue all had somewhat strange expressions, and then said, "Ming Beiya?"
"Um."
Qi Muxiao nodded slightly. "He is an old friend of mine. Seeing him again now evoked many emotions, so I wanted to come and talk to you."
"You all know him?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng also became somewhat curious. Once the topic was started, she would continue to talk about it, and she was no exception. "But you don't seem like old friends."
"His appearance has never changed."
Knowing what Mo Shisheng meant, Qi Muxiao didn't mind at all. Instead, she answered frankly, "From the moment I met him, he has always looked the same, never aging an inch."
"Never?"
From Qi Muxiao's words, Mo Shisheng realized that they must have known each other for a long time, and it wouldn't be wrong to say they were old friends.
Judging from Qi Muxiao's expression, she didn't seem to be making fun of her. Thinking of Ming Beiya's stunningly beautiful face, which was as alluring and bewitching as a demon, Mo Shisheng narrowed her eyes slightly.
"You are a princess of Qi, and Ming Beiya was also from Qi before?"
Mo Shisheng knew that Qi Muxiao was the apple of Qi's eye before she married into the Southern Kingdom. If she was an old friend, then Ming Beiya must be a citizen of Qi.
