Since Mo Han provoked Qing Ge and made a bet with Mo Han, Qing Yang, for reasons unknown, deliberately arranged for Mo Han and Qing Ge's room to be near Qing Ge's room, so that they could see each other as soon as they opened the window.
"This Qingyang is really thoughtful! He arranged our accommodations right under Qingge's nose. I don't know if he's doing this for our own good or for his royal sister's." Mo Chen couldn't help but smile as he looked out the window at Qingge's residence.
"Perhaps he wants us to give Qingge a hard time?" Gu Liyan brewed tea and looked out the window at Qingge's bedroom.
The palace was brightly lit, but the doors and windows were tightly closed, providing no ventilation at all, as if Qingge knew they were right across from her and was deliberately trying not to see them.
Gu Liyan felt a pang of sadness. He realized that he was actually hoping that the window opposite would open so he could see the master of that palace. Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh.
Mo Chen glanced at Gu Liyan and chuckled, "Why are you sighing like that? Are you not confident about tomorrow's competition? Haha, that would be interesting! The dignified Lord of the Nine Springs Realm losing to an ordinary woman... if word got out..."
"I will not easily admit defeat if I fight in the name of my senior brother, and I—will not lose either!" Gu Liyan said with a serious expression.
"Yes, you won't lose! But are you really planning to beat Qingge? However, what I'm most curious about is what you plan to have Qingge do if you win?" Mo Chen asked with a curious expression.
Gu Liyan frowned and glared at Mo Chen. "Don't jump to conclusions or make wild guesses if you don't know the ending."
"You really imitate Mo Han! You're just as rigid as him..."
Before Mo Chen could finish speaking, Gu Liyan's expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly stood up, looking out the window...
"What?" Mo Chen looked at Gu Liyan with a puzzled expression.
Gu Liyan quickly went to the window, looked at Qingge's palace, and jumped out of the window and ran towards Qingge's palace. Mo Chen chased after him and found that Qingge's palace was on fire for some reason.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Liyan burst through the door. Seeing Gu Liyan's anxious appearance, Mo Chen couldn't help but shake his head, "What a hypocrite... Both of them are like that!"
Mo Chen sat on the rooftop watching the commotion.
"Qingge!" Gu Liyan shouted anxiously. At the same time, he also noticed that the temperature of the flames was extremely high, which was unusual. Within minutes, he was drenched in sweat.
"Qingge!" There was no response, and Gu Liyan continued walking inside.
"Qingge, where are you?" Gu Liyan shouted anxiously when he couldn't see Qingge.
Mo Chen watched the fire from the rooftop. Seeing it spread rapidly, he frowned. "These flames are really strange, it's like someone did this on purpose..."
Mo Chen turned his gaze and suddenly saw Qing Ge walking in from outside. He immediately jumped off the roof and arrived in front of Qing Ge in a flash.
What are you doing here?!
Qingge felt a blur before her eyes, and then Mo Chen appeared in front of her, grabbing her arm and looking at her with a look of astonishment.
Qingge was startled by Mo Chen's sudden appearance and said irritably, "Where I go is none of your business."
"Didn't you see your palace is on fire?" Mo Chen asked, pointing at Qing Ge's palace.
At this moment, the flames soared into the sky, and the scorching heat could be felt all around.
Qingge looked up and was stunned. "What... what's going on?"
Without saying a word, Mo Chen turned around and jumped onto the roof, shouting towards Qing Ge's bedroom, "Mo Han, come out quickly! Qing Ge is alright!"
Gu Liyan, who had gone to rescue the person, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Mo Chen's shouts outside, "Qingge is alright..."
Just as he was about to leave, before he could even reach the door, an iron chain suddenly shot out from the shadows. Caught off guard, Gu Liyan had his right foot bound by the chain.
Gu Liyan was stunned and hurriedly exerted force with his feet, only to find that his strength was insufficient to break the iron chain. "This is..."
"This is a thousand-pound lock!" Just then, five men in black suddenly leaped down from the ceiling and surrounded Gu Liyan. One of them, a masked man holding a long sword, chuckled and said, "This thing weighs a thousand pounds. I'm afraid you can't escape today!"
"I didn't expect that instead of Princess Qingge, I would be waiting for someone to die!" The man holding the double daggers squinted at Gu Liyan.
"Hmph, you've got the road to heaven but you're choosing the path to hell," the man with the spear sneered.
"Why waste so much breath on him? Just kill him and we can report back!" The man holding a curved knife spoke in a chillingly cold voice.
Gu Liyan's expression immediately darkened. These five people must have been lying in ambush here, preparing to assassinate Qingge. He coldly asked, "Are you all here to assassinate Qingge?"
The masked man with the longsword sneered, "That's right, who told you to barge in? Just consider yourself unlucky!"
Gu Liyan looked at them coldly and noticed that they had the aura of the Nine Springs Realm. He figured they must be fourth-generation people from the Warrior Kingdom. He immediately asked, "Are you from the Warrior Kingdom?"
"So what if you know who we are? You're going to die here today!"
After saying that, the five of them attacked Gu Liyan in perfect unison. Only then did Gu Liyan realize that the masked man, who had no weapon in his hand, was actually manipulating flames to attack her.
Gu Liyan calmly flipped her hand, and a red umbrella appeared in her left hand, which she used to block the flames. Then, with a flick of her right hand, an ice sword formed from frost appeared, which she used to block the black-clad man's attack…
Qingge watched the flames spread and looked at Mo Chen with some curiosity, asking, "Are you sure Mo Han is inside? What's he doing in there?"
