After the glass door was closed, Shi Xi turned on the tap and immediately began to speak—
"Can cold medicine block out the side effects of poison?"
Perhaps he rested for too long this morning, because judging from Pei Muban's expression, he was clearly suspicious.
After all, he was either sitting or lying down in the furniture store. Although these actions were perfectly reasonable there, they still gave him away.
Moreover, besides Pei Muban, Chi Yan'an and Chi Zaiqing also sensed that something was wrong.
If this continues, his secret will be exposed sooner or later...
The little yellow chick lying on the ground in my mind raised its head, paused for three seconds, and then answered, "Okay."
However, blocking for too long can have negative consequences.
"What?" Shi Xi asked while washing her hands.
[The toxins will accumulate in the heart; even if Gao Tingyu has heart surgery, he probably won't live more than a few days.]
"It's alright." Shi Xi turned off the water and wiped the water droplets off her hands.
Shi Xi didn't care about the life or death of her two-faced younger sister, Gao Tingyu.
He's not a saint.
The story will be complete as long as Jiang Yichen gives his heart to Gao Tingyu according to his will.
The rest is none of his business.
"Are you going to continue shopping this afternoon?" Yamasa put down the Earl Grey tea in her hand and looked at Shi Xi.
Pei Muban, who was adjusting his armband, also looked up at Shi Xi.
"No shopping, let's go out and have fun." Having just fully recovered, Shi Xi raised her laptop and started checking online travel guides.
Pei Mu frowned as he looked at Shi Xi.
Is he... all better now?
He paused for a second, then asked, "Are you sure?"
After observing Shi Xi all morning, he concluded that she might not be feeling well, so it would be better for her to stay at the hotel and rest rather than go out.
\"certainly.\"
Looking at Shi Xi's expression, Pei Muban was a little confused about what was going on with him. Knowing that he couldn't persuade Shi Xi, he took a deep breath and simply changed his target.
Pei Mu turned to Amis and asked, "What does Your Highness think?"
"Hmm." Amissa seemed completely oblivious to anything amiss. He stood up, opened the door, and said, "Listen to him."
Before she finished speaking, Shi Xi walked out without any politeness.
Anyone who didn't know better would think Shi Xi was the employer and Amis was a mercenary working diligently.
Upon seeing this, Pei Muban fell silent.
He stood there until the two figures almost disappeared before he lifted his leg and followed them.
Amis, who was walking behind, glanced at Pei Muban and asked, "Why did you follow us?"
"I didn't specifically ask you to come with me."
"I'm worried." Pei Mu stepped forward, his tone calm. "His Highness the Crown Prince's safety is of utmost importance."
The Mass did not speak.
He did not believe the latter's high-sounding words.
What is Pei Mu Ban worried about? Is he still Shi Xi? ... He's probably worried about him.
...
For the rest of the afternoon, led by Shi Xi, their temporary guide, the Alphas embarked on a thoroughly enjoyable special forces-style tour.
The last place we visited was a fairyland as beautiful as a poem or a painting.
Purple flowers bloom everywhere, and when you look up slightly, you see rolling mountains. At the end of the long steps is a natural gap in the middle of the mountains that looks like a door.
As your gaze passes through the stone gate, you see the azure sky, and below that lies the breathtakingly beautiful Qinghu Lake with its shimmering blue waters.
The mountains and lakes complement each other, creating a breathtakingly beautiful landscape.
Looking at Shi Xi, who was full of energy and seemed ready to do it all again, Pei Muban couldn't help but doubt his previous judgment.
Is Shi Xi really sick?
Pei Mu glanced at Shi Xi uncertainly.
Normally, a beta wouldn't recover from an illness this quickly.
Perhaps because war was imminent, Shi Xi heard people discussing the matter in the distance.
They were just saying things like, "If Jiang Yichen takes action, the Zerg will definitely be utterly defeated."
His words were filled with blind worship of Jiang Yichen, the strongest man in the empire, and optimism about the war.
Shi Xi looked at Amis, who was sitting on a public chair with her head down, intently weaving a flower wreath.
"Tired?" Amis looked up.
"Your Highness," Shi Xi said, descending the steps, "what do you think the outcome of this war will be?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Muban's eyes flashed with surprise, and he reached out to pull Shi Xi back a little.
What mercenary is so audacious as to ask the Crown Prince such a question?!
Amissa pondered for a moment, then looked at Shi Xi and said—
"It's hard to say."
"...?" Upon hearing Amis's reply, Pei Muban's expression froze for a moment.
I was startled.
The angel of the Mass was far more indulgent toward the dawn than he had imagined.
Moreover, the former's answer puzzled him. As the crown prince of the empire, he didn't even have complete confidence in this war... which shows that the situation is not as optimistic as the people think.
Shi Xi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Tell me more."
Such a vague answer is no different from saying nothing at all.
Pei Mu frowned and gave Shi Xi a look that suggested she speak more tactfully.
Shi Xi pursed her lips. "Please explain in detail, Your Highness."
"This is inside information and must be kept secret." He picked a blooming flower from the head guard's hand and slowly placed it on the wreath.
Pei Muban was not surprised by his answer.
After all, according to the hierarchy, Shi Xi was just a somewhat famous mercenary, and was no match for the royal family.
It's already quite generous of them to reveal even a part of it during the Mass.
However, the next second, the other person said, "But since you want to know, I'll just give you a brief explanation."
Pei Muban: "..."
Amisa shared his opinion: "The Zerg are well-prepared this time. Jiang Yichen will win, but it won't be an easy victory."
He had fought Jiang Yichen several times and knew his strength all too well, so while he was worried about this battle, he wasn't too concerned.
It can be said that his judgment was quite objective and accurate.
Shi Xi thought to herself.
He truly lives up to his title as the Crown Prince of the Empire.
After speaking, Amas handed the woven wreath to Shi Xi, seemingly saying casually, "Nobody wants it, so it's yours."
Shi Xi put it on her head, and the size was just right. The workmanship was exquisite and beautiful.
As he fiddled with the flower wreath, he felt an intense, undeniable gaze from the side. He turned to look at Pei Muban—
"Boss, why don't you give it a try?" Shi Xi handed the flower wreath to Pei Muban.
"..." Pei Mu shook his head slightly. "No."
...
The trip ended, and the group returned by aircraft.
Amas glanced at Shi Xi, then suddenly said to him, "Wait a moment before you leave."
"?" Shi Xi asked in confusion.
The Mass said, "Something has come up."
Shi Xi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Pei Muban, who had already reached the door.
He was waiting to bring up the matter of resigning with Pei Muban later.
Upon hearing this, Pei Muban glanced calmly at Ya Misa, then walked to Shi Xi's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Come find me after you're done talking. I'll be waiting for you in the car."
Shi Xi thought for a moment, then obediently agreed.
