Yu Qianqian was hidden in a dark corner, making it impossible for the person in front of her to see her. At this moment, they were in a state of light and darkness.
However, as the purple shadow rapidly closed the distance to her, that face came into view with uncanny clarity. She recognized the person all too well.
Su Ruan, her only mortal enemy in her life, the person she hated to the core.
She stared intently as Su Ruan walked towards her face to face, then brushed past her in an instant. Instead of chasing after her, she stood there in a daze, her mind racing with thoughts, as if she had suddenly realized something.
Even though the assassin had exposed Mu Beichen when he took her hostage in Wuji Palace, she had only guessed that she might be able to find Su Ruan's hiding place through some clues in the palace. But Yu Qianqian never expected that Su Ruan would show up in this way.
At this moment, what surprised her most was not Su Ruan's appearance, but this place, which was the only road leading to Luo Chen Palace.
But in reality, she would never know that Su Ruan escaped by sheer luck because Mu Beichen had been so busy focusing on her lately that he had been careless and had given Su Ruan the opportunity to release a bewitching incense on the people of Wuji Palace, thus allowing her to escape right under their noses.
Before Su Ruan escaped from Wuji Palace, she had secretly sent people to investigate. Mu Beichen was preoccupied with how to appease Yu Qianqian, which made it easier for her to break free from her confinement.
Given the secrets revealed by the assassin and her current appearance near Luo Chen Palace, she refused to believe that Yu Qianqian would still trust Mu Beichen at this point.
Ahead, Su Ruan carried a glass lantern, her steps light and graceful, her purple flowing dress fluttering as she strolled leisurely forward, glancing quickly at Yu Qianqian out of the corner of her eye, a smile playing on her lips.
Her sharp gaze swept over the dark corner of the moon gate nearby. She saw Yu Qianqian's astonished expression and Mu Beichen's figure flashing past. Seeing that the matter was settled, she quickened her pace and ran forward unnoticed.
Behind Su Ruan as she hurriedly left, Yu Qianqian's figure swayed slightly. But by the time she came to her senses again, Su Ruan had already vanished completely into the shimmering night, and there was no longer a trace of purple light in the distant view before her.
"Mu Beichen, Mu Beichen, how could you deceive me like this..." Yu Qianqian's body trembled violently, and she staggered backward, leaning against the corner of the wall and looking up at the night sky. The moonlight reflected on her tear-streaked face. At this moment, she had completely lost control of her emotions, and her sobbing made her whole body tremble violently.
With a sudden turn, she faced the original path and took a few quick steps before running away at lightning speed.
She couldn't care about anything else now; all she wanted to do was find him and get to the bottom of things, to know if he hadn't lied to her and if it was all just a misunderstanding.
Before she could walk back to Fengyi Palace, Mu Beichen's personal guards had already arrived halfway to pick her up.
Seeing the guard carrying a lantern and quickly approaching to kneel in worship, Yu Qianqian seemed to hear nothing at this moment, her mind filled only with the image of Su Ruan appearing in front of Luo Chen Palace.
The guards remained silent and continued walking along the same path until they reached the Phoenix Palace, their hearts heavy with unspoken thoughts.
