In the end, Tianqing accepted the ring.
Magu returned to the high priest's room with a gloomy face and murderous intent surging wildly in her eyes.
A Feng raised his eyes and glanced at her, "You'd better not go looking for trouble with Miss Qu."
The high priest had countless ways to force Qu Li to Xiling, but he used all means, which shows how much he cares about Qu Li.
Magu's admiration for the high priest was a thorn in his heart. In order to prevent her from getting hurt, he kindly reminded her.
"Don't worry about it. I know what to do."
Just because she couldn’t kill Qu Li in the High Priest’s Mansion didn’t mean she couldn’t kill her somewhere else.
Afeng didn't say anything else, just looked at her with eyes full of worry.
"If you have nothing to do, get out!"
Only at times like this could she stay beside the high priest without concealing her fiery gaze.
Afeng hesitated to speak and finally walked out.
Looking at the distant sky, he curled the corners of his mouth bitterly.
"Unwilling?"
When Qu Li found Afeng in the back garden, he could clearly feel the desolation deep in his heart.
A Feng squinted his eyebrows and looked at her, "Miss Qu, I am the guard of the high priest. I can't betray him."
She already knew this from the last time Qu Li used pills to try to get something useful out of his mouth.
The high priest was very good at controlling his subordinates. All of them would rather die than betray him. This really made Qu Li feel deeply moved.
"If one day the high priest and Magu are in danger at the same time, who will you save first?"
Afeng's eyebrows twitched and his eyes flickered.
"Don't rush to answer, and don't ask me why I suddenly ask such a boring question. Only you know whether this question is boring or not."
After saying that, she walked towards the flower garden not far away.
The terrain of Xiling is not like that of Dagan. Because it is located in a basin, the four seasons are not particularly distinct.
At this time, the flowers are still quite beautiful.
She picked some flowers suitable for putting in a vase and returned to the orchid garden.
The question Qu Li just asked kept echoing in Afeng's mind.
——The high priest and Magu are in danger at the same time, who will you save first?
Before he fell in love with Magu, he would naturally save the high priest without hesitation. After all, if they were not the high priest, they would have died long ago.
Magu was the first woman he loved and would probably be the last one in his life.
If one day she was really in danger, he would definitely not be able to watch her die.
He thought about it a lot in a frustrated mood, but until the sun set, he still couldn't come up with a clear answer.
The high priest woke up and saw the woman lying beside the bed, his eyes froze for a moment.
He stared at Magu for a long time.
Magu was extremely alert and woke up suddenly when she noticed the gaze fixed on her.
Looking into his deep eyes, joy spread in them.
"High Priest, do you feel any discomfort?"
Qu Li was as cunning as a fox. She was afraid that the medicines would counteract each other and harm the high priest, so she could only give the high priest a non-toxic pill that could cure all poisons.
The high priest looked pale and was trying to get up. Magu hurriedly helped him up and poured him a glass of water.
"The maid just made some porridge. Would you like some?"
"good."
The high priest's voice was weak and his face showed no emotion, but Magu felt very happy.
She asked the maid to bring the porridge over, scooped a spoonful, blew it cool, and handed it to the high priest's mouth.
"I can do it myself."
Magu was a little disappointed and could only hand him the bowl of porridge.
Standing aside, she pursed her lips and said, "High Priest, Qu Li is too ungrateful to hurt you like this!"
The temperature around the high priest dropped sharply.
Magu thought he was angry at Qu Li for poisoning him, so she continued chattering, "The high priest was so good to her, and she actually treated you like this. She really doesn't know what's good for her..."
"Are you free?"
Each of these three words seemed to be ground out from between the teeth.
Magu was startled and looked at the man with a dark face who was standing so close to her.
"High Priest, I just..."
"roll!"
Magu felt very sad.
She was open-hearted to the high priest, but Qu Li took advantage of his special treatment of her and hurt the high priest at will. Why did the high priest still protect her like this?
"High Priest, Qu Li is too dangerous! Since she can poison you again, who knows..."
"Bang--"
He threw the bowl of porridge in his hand at her.
Magu didn't dare to hide, and a bowl of porridge hit her forehead. Blood mixed with sticky porridge flowed down her cheek.
Afeng, who was guarding outside, heard the sound and rushed in. He saw Magu in a mess, with blood all over her face and her chest tugging at her chest several times.
"Get lost! Don't make me say it again."
Magu was stubborn and didn't want to leave. Afeng caught the murderous intent in the high priest's eyes and forcibly dragged her out.
"You shouldn't have said that about Miss Qu in front of the high priest."
"Afeng, even you are on her side?"
Magu's grievances and anger mixed together and she vented them all on Afeng.
"Magu, even if Miss Qu stabbed the high priest with a knife, do you believe it or not, the high priest would never say a single harsh word?"
"Shut up! I will never watch the high priest being harmed by a woman like Qu Li."
"What can you do? Don't you know who we are? You and I are just guards of the high priest."
The cruelest thing in this world is not to stab a person's heart with a knife, but to uncover the inferiority that has been buried deep in the other person's heart.
She and the high priest have different identities and status.
To her, the high priest was like the bright moon in the sky. She could only enjoy the cold light but could never touch it.
She actually knew it all along, but she had been deceiving herself.
She felt that as long as she could stay by the high priest's side, it would be enough.
Until Qu Li appeared, she felt more and more that she was really pathetic.
"You need to treat the wound on your head."
Afeng didn't want to hurt Magu's heart, and seeing that she was so devastated, he changed the subject.
Magu clenched her hands tightly.
Qu Li!
She would never let this woman hurt the high priest!
After all, they grew up together and trained together, so Afeng could easily understand Magu's expression.
He held Magu's shoulders, his tone more serious than ever.
"Magu, wake up! The high priest is not someone you can expect!"
Magu stared at him with her red eyes, hatred flowing, "Because he is someone I cannot hope for, why should others receive his tenderness?"
Afeng was stunned.
If Magu hadn't said it, he would have no idea that Magu had such a morbid mentality.
"I will never allow anyone to harm the High Priest, nor will I allow anyone to touch the High Priest!"
