Mei's body arced gracefully, flying three meters before crashing heavily to the ground, knocking out one of her front teeth.
Shangguan Yunxi chuckled: "Old woman, come on, get up."
"..." Mei's face suddenly darkened, as if splashed with ink. She flipped over and stood up from the ground, a murderous glint flashing in her cold eyes: "You... asked for it!"
"Waaaaah... Mother, help! There's a mad dog biting people everywhere!" Shangguan Yunxi's demeanor changed abruptly as she screamed and fled.
The demon transformed into a red shadow and blocked Shangguan Yunxi's path: "Either die, or kneel down and kowtow to acknowledge me as your master!"
"Pah! You old codger, don't you even take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? This young lady... would rather die than agree to your conditions. Come and catch me if you dare, hehehe..."
The little girl gave a sly smile, made a face, and said the most offensive things she could think of.
Mei gradually lost her mind, a strange light flashing in her eyes as she met the little girl's gaze: "Give me your life."
"Grandma, you're overthinking it... Waaah... Help..." Shangguan Yunxi turned and ran away.
A large and a small figure circled back and forth at the doorway through the rain.
Mei lost her mind, drew the soft sword from her waist, and stabbed Shangguan Yunxi in the throat.
"Mother, help!" The little girl cried out, standing there, unable to react.
Mei let out a cold laugh. "So you're scared now?"
Unfortunately, it was too late...
I can't accept this girl even if she agrees to be my apprentice; I never know why she'd resort to such underhanded tactics and poisoning me...
"Die!" Mei's longsword advanced another inch.
At the critical moment, a black shadow flashed by, and Hei Yi's longsword clashed with Mei's soft sword.
Mo Qingcheng spun around and slapped a packet of colorless and odorless powder onto Mei's face.
"Mother, you're so amazing!" Shangguan Yunxi burst into laughter through her tears, her eyes full of flattery.
Mo Qingcheng glanced at him coldly and said, "I'll settle the score with you later."
Before she finished speaking, Mo Qingcheng vanished from the spot...
Shangguan Yunxi took a deep breath, her face still pale with fear. She patted her cheeks, wondering whether to run or not.
"Second sister, how could you be so reckless?" Mu Wanqing climbed down from the carriage with a gloating expression.
Bai Yueniang was startled: "Xi'er, are you... injured?"
"She won't die..." Shangguan Yichen glanced at his younger sister with disdain. If she didn't cause trouble, she wouldn't be Shangguan Yunxi.
Shangguan Yunxi pouted: "Is he still my biological brother?"
"no!"
"..." The little girl's hands were trembling, she almost collapsed...
Shangguan Yichen and Mu Wanqing disappeared in the blink of an eye. Shangguan Yunxi snorted coldly, thinking, "They've all bullied me, bad people..."
Bai Yueniang stepped forward and grabbed the little girl's arm: "Let Aunt Yue take a look..."
"Aunt Yue is still the best." Shangguan Yunxi smiled and tilted her head as she and Bai Yueniang headed towards the courtyard.
Baili Fengyun was entangled by the old man in black and unable to break free when suddenly his ears twitched: "Madam, this old man stole your blueprints."
"You're courting death!" Mo Qingcheng's cold eyes released a deathly aura as she swung her longsword, creating a flourish.
The withered man in black chuckled, "It saves me the trouble of making another trip. You've come at just the right time. Hand over the design drawings, and I'll spare your life."
Mo Qingcheng laughed in exasperation. What kind of nonsense is this?
"This lady is beautiful and kind-hearted, so I'm giving you a big gift. No need to thank me..." Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow with a wicked smile and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The man in black with the withered hand was greatly alarmed and alertly pricked up his ears.
Suddenly, with a whoosh, several silver needles flew through the air, each one aimed at a vital point.
Baili Fengyun perked up, brandishing his sword and leaping forward: "Madam, this old man has a treasure..."
The black-clad, withered hand dodged the silver needles and Baili Fengyun's sword, but couldn't dodge the poison powder in Mo Qingcheng's hand. He was unfortunately hit and fell to the ground with a thud...
