Ji Qingya was puzzled by Shangguan Ning's gaze and scratched his head.
"Repay? That's easy. Commander Shangguan, could you allow me to stay for two more days?"
Shangguan Ning was stunned.
Although Palace Master Yeqing admired her to some extent, he did not send anyone to protect her.
Moreover, Ji Qingya is the most beloved disciple of Palace Master Yeqing. He always does his own thing and no one can control him.
This time he took the initiative to help, isn't it... isn't it...
"Commander Shangguan, why don't you speak? Is it inconvenient?" Ji Qingya asked with a frown.
Shangguan Ning's thoughts were interrupted, and he quickly responded, "Of course."
She smiled sweetly, "I recently finished a painting. Young Master Qingya, if you have time, you can come and visit me."
After she finished speaking, she turned back to look at Sheng, her smile immediately disappeared, and her tone was slightly cold: "Come with me."
Xiang Sheng remained motionless. "Please go ahead, sir. I need to appease Yueying first."
Shangguan Ning frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, but he also knew that Yueying was important, so he nodded and left.
After Ji Qingya eagerly sent Shangguan Ning away, he immediately approached Xiang Sheng.
He clearly had a lot to say, but when he opened his mouth, not a single word came out.
Looking at his expression, Xiang Sheng knew that he was just suspicious of his identity and had not yet confirmed it.
Even so, he stood up without hesitation and scared Shangguan Qian away.
But what if I can’t scare him away?
It seems that some things must be made clear.
She pursed her lips slightly and said lightly: "Thank you for your help this time, Master Qingya.
However, you and I are strangers, so there is really no need for you to get involved in this mess. It is best to leave as soon as possible."
Her tone was clearly cold.
Ji Qingya became excited after hearing this.
Yuesheng is really Stone Sister!
If we had never met before, I would have just said a few polite words of gratitude. How could I possibly chase him away?
At this moment, he really wanted to pull Sister Shitou into the tent and ask her why she left without saying goodbye.
But now that he was in public, he couldn't do anything rash and ruin Stone Sister's plan.
Anyway, Sister Stone has settled down in Yueying now, so it’s not easy for her to leave.
Thinking of this, Ji Qingya chuckled and said, "This young master always follows his heart and helps when he can.
I love making friends. If Commander Yue is truly grateful, why not stop preaching and have a drink with me?"
Having said this, Ji Qingya glanced at Ye Chuxue and the others who were still waiting behind Xiang Sheng, waved his hand, and said:
"Yue Tong is busy with business first. We can chat later when we have time."
After saying that, Ji Qingya patted his butt, turned around and left, his back looking indescribably elegant.
Xiang Sheng curled his lips helplessly, turned to look at Ye Chuxue and others, and said slowly:
"It's okay. With the Ji clan's men here, Shangguan Qian won't dare to take action openly. You can go back to the camp and rest first. We'll start the formal training tomorrow.
Chuxue, find all the forbidden disks in the supply and wait for me to come back, they will be used for other purposes."
After Xiang Sheng gave a series of orders, everyone immediately felt more at ease and responded in unison.
"Don't worry, Commander."
After Ye Chuxue accepted the order, she comforted him, "After this incident, the commander will be more vigilant and will give you many magical weapons to protect you. Please go and see her quickly."
Xiang Sheng smiled when she heard this, thinking that it was unknown whether Shangguan Ning would turn against her this time, let alone any magic weapon.
Without saying much, she tapped the ground with her feet, her body rose up and turned into a white light and flew towards the main tent.
A moment later, Xiang Sheng passed through the camp path behind the main tent and stepped into a space portal.
The space is not big, only a hundred feet in radius, and is filled with an exquisite mansion.
"Come in and sit down."
Shangguan Ning's voice came from the courtyard.
Xiang Sheng said nothing as he walked through the gate of the mansion. Inside the gate, there were flowers and trees shading the courtyard, and winding paths leading to a secluded place.
She walked along the path and soon saw a roll of bead curtain. As the curtain swayed, she could see Shangguan Ning sitting in front of the drawing board, leaving behind her slim silhouette.
"The secret vault is here with you."
Shangguan Ning went straight to the point, with no doubt in his words, only affirmation.
Xiang Sheng was not surprised to hear this.
In Huacheng, Shangguan Ning had seen Senior Brother Wei Ning's spatial skills. It would be foolish of him not to guess that it was she who stole the secret vault.
Having said that, she couldn't admit it.
She smiled slightly, "How could I not understand what Lord Shangguan said? But the secret vault you mentioned is the treasure that Shangguan Qian moved from the armory. Isn't it just right that it was stolen?"
Shangguan Ning frowned, put down his paintbrush, turned his head and looked through the beaded curtain. He saw Xiang Sheng's slightly smiling face, and his expression darkened slightly.
"Yuesheng, you know that this matter has alarmed the ancestors. If the secret vault is not returned, I can't protect you."
Xiang Sheng's smile faded slightly. "Sir, let's not talk about the fact that I don't have a secret vault. Even if I did, would you be able to please the ancestor if I gave it back to you?"
Shangguan Ning was stunned for a moment, but soon understood the meaning behind Xiang Sheng's words, and his expression turned slightly ugly.
Xiang Sheng saw her reaction and chuckled, "You see, you know it too. If you return the secret vault, the old ancestor will not only not see your kindness, but will only think that you stole the secret vault on purpose."
In this way, you will only incur the disgust of your ancestors, and the secret vault you return will become a tool for Shangguan Qian to deal with you.
After thinking about this, do you still want to get the secret vault?"
Shangguan Ning's face darkened completely.
Although I am reluctant to admit it, Yue Sheng’s words make sense.
Even if Yue Sheng is really willing to return the secret vault now, she doesn't dare to accept it.
That's a hot potato.
She took a deep breath and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Xiang Sheng raised an eyebrow and asked instead of answering, "Didn't Lord Shangguan say that he wouldn't interfere with Moon Camp?"
"I did."
Shangguan Ning's face was unhappy. "But you've gone too far. If you're not careful, you'll be doomed. I..."
"Serious illnesses require drastic measures."
Xiang Sheng interrupted Shangguan Ning, his eyes clear, "Your Excellency should know that the situation is difficult. If you don't have the courage to risk everything, how can you turn defeat into victory?
If you are afraid, my lord, please dismiss me. I will also return the treasures you have bestowed upon me."
Shangguan Ning's face froze. "Okay, I don't care about you. When will you return the secret vault?"
"Why are you still so concerned about the secret vault? Didn't I tell you that I didn't steal it?"
Xiang Sheng smiled and said, "If Your Excellency has no other questions, I will withdraw first. There are still many things waiting to be done in the Moon Camp."
Shangguan Ning clenched the paintbrush in his hand and remained silent for a long time before he spoke softly, "Go down."
"I'll take my leave."
He lowered his eyes, bowed, and turned to leave.
Shangguan Ning stared at her departing back, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
In the end, he tried all kinds of treatments when he was sick, but ended up suffering the consequences.
That secret vault is the accumulation of the Chiqing Army over the years, and is the basis for her to ascend to the position of the head of the family in the future. How could it fall into the hands of outsiders?
It’s hateful that she knew it was this woman who stole it, but she didn’t dare to ask for too much, and even had to bow her head to her.
How frustrating!
