"Hey, why didn't you say so sooner!" Huang Xi said, pouting with disappointment.
Green Embroidery frowned as well, "I also want to hear about the backgrounds of Mo Han and Mo Chen!"
"Hey, I'm warning you, Green Embroidery, I've got my eye on Mo Han, so don't try to take him from me!" Huang Xi said hastily.
"Who's interested in that guy? He's as cold as a block of wood! I think Mo Chen, who looks like a scholar, is quite nice!" Green Embroidery said with a lovesick expression.
"That's good. Mo Han is my type, and no one is allowed to take her away." Hearing Lü Xiu's words, Huang Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chengxi looked at the two girls with infatuated expressions and shook her head helplessly.
"I still need to train the soldiers. You can do as you please." Lan Ying took a sip of tea, stood up, and prepared to leave.
"In that case, I'll head back," Cheng Xi said, standing up.
Seeing that the two women were about to leave, Huang Xi reluctantly said, "We just got together, and you're already leaving?"
"The situation is tense right now, so it's better to keep a low profile. Don't forget that we're currently in the selection process. Once the selection process is over, someone could take our place at any time," Cheng Xi said with a serious expression.
Lan Ying nodded. "That's right. We are indebted to Her Highness the Princess, so we must not cause her any trouble."
"If you really knew you would cause me trouble, you shouldn't have come out!"
Huang Xi was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by that familiar voice. The door was pushed open, and Qing Ge walked in with two maids.
"Greetings, Your Highness," the women said in unison.
Qingge looked at the four of them angrily and said, "Lan Ying, what are your intentions in gathering three generals here by lying about being seriously ill?"
Lan Ying was slightly taken aback and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it is not Lan Ying who is seriously ill, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mo Han's roar came from next door: "Useless! If you can't save him, then get out of my way!"
Qingge frowned. "Who's next door? They've got some nerve!"
Lan Ying and the others looked at each other, unsure whether they should speak.
Qingge didn't ask any further questions, but instead walked out of the room. Just as she stepped out, a figure was thrown out of the next room. Looking closer, she saw it was a man in his thirties.
Li Jin's blood surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before fainting.
Qingge frowned as she looked at Li Jin. "Who is this person?"
Upon seeing this, Lan Ying and the others hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "This, this person is Li Jin, the head of the Li family."
"Li Jin?" Lan Ying frowned. "Is it Li Jin, the champion of the Sage Competition?"
Lan Ying nodded. "Yes."
"You scoundrel! How dare you injure a sage of our nation! This is an unforgivable crime! Guards, seize this traitor for me!" Qingge said coldly, her face filled with rage.
Upon hearing Qingge's words, Lan Ying and the others lowered their heads and remained motionless.
Seeing that the four of them did not make any move, Qingge immediately rebuked them, "Do any of you dare to disobey me?"
Huang Xi spoke timidly, "Princess, it's not that we're disobeying you, it's just that that person... is too strong, and there's nothing we can do."
Upon hearing this, Qingge frowned. "You said that person is too strong? Who exactly is it...?"
"I never expected you to come to me of your own accord!" Mo Han's voice reached her ears, and in that instant, Qing Ge felt as if she were in an ice cellar, her whole body stiff and unable to move an inch.
Mo Han walked out of the room, and Qing Ge, with her back to him, dared not turn around.
The voice was strangely familiar, which filled her with even more fear!
"What? Even as a princess in this life, you don't even have the courage to look at me?" Mo Han's lips curled up slightly. He still remembered the fear that Qing Ge and An Qianbai had when facing him in the previous life.
Qingge clenched her fists and slowly turned to look at Mo Han. His deep purple eyes held a powerful force, and in those eyes, Qingge clearly saw her own reflection…
Her breathing became inexplicably rapid, and fear continued to spread through Qingge's heart, but she knew that what she felt most inside was not fear, but anger!
Looking at Mo Han, her heart felt like it was burning with raging fire, filled with inexplicable anger!
Hearing the commotion outside the door, Mo Chen hurriedly ran out. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Qing Ge's face, but then he realized, "So it's her. No wonder you were so angry just now."
Mo Han glared at Mo Chen. "I just saw her. Whether I'm angry or not has nothing to do with her!"
Listening to Mo Han's words, it was as if Qing Ge was nothing more than an ant in his eyes!
Mo Chen didn't say anything more. "Okay, whatever you say. I'll go in first."
After saying that, Mo Chen didn't even glance at Ge before entering the room.
Qingge's chest heaved, but like Lan Ying and the others, she didn't have the courage to refute anything. She only glanced at Mo Han before she had to lower her proud head.
Seeing that none of them spoke, Mo Han glanced around and then fixed her gaze on Qing Ge, coldly saying, "He's about to wake up, come in and check on him!"
Qingge looked at Mo Han with some surprise, then pointed to herself, "You, you mean me?"
"Yes, it's you! Come in yourself, everyone else wait outside!" Mo Han said impatiently.
Qingge looked at the four women behind her with a puzzled expression, wondering who Mo Han wanted her to see inside. However, she figured she would find out once she went in. Without thinking too much about it, she followed Mo Han into the room.
As soon as she stepped into the room, the door inexplicably closed by itself, startling Qingge.
However, Qingge quickly calmed down. Besides Mo Han, there was a man and a woman in the room, who were gathered around the bed looking nervous.
