“If the princess wishes to see me dance, there will be opportunities in the future. Today, I am not feeling well and cannot dance.”
Even though Mu Chenshuang knew what she was going to say, she still refused directly.
Feng Anxue chuckled and said, "Seeing that Princess Weiyang's expression is normal, is there anything wrong with you? Do you think I am not worthy, or that none of you here are qualified to appreciate this?"
Even if they are not qualified, it is an unspoken understanding, but if it is brought up in the open, then the meaning is different.
"This humble woman had no such intention. I do not know why Your Highness has misunderstood my meaning. Moreover, today we should focus our attention on the soon-to-be-born talented man and beautiful woman. If Your Highness asks me to dance, wouldn't that steal the limelight from others? That would not be appropriate. Therefore, I hope Your Highness will retract your words."
The rebuttal of the grievance would shift the blame to Feng Anxue, and the worst outcome would be that Feng Anxue would lose face and offend her. But now that Feng Anxue already harbors resentment towards her, why should she care about offending her even more?
Feng Anxue's expression darkened slightly upon hearing Mu Chenshuang's rebuttal.
"It is indeed an oversight of mine that Princess Weiyang, a martial artist, is so eloquent."
The tension was palpable, and no one dared to interrupt.
At this moment.
When Lu Hua returned, she whispered hurriedly to Feng Anxue, "Princess, Qing Kui was discovered by Princess Weiyang early this morning and has been detained today. Only now has Qing Kui escaped from the Marquis's residence."
Upon hearing Lu Hua's words, Feng Anxue's expression darkened slightly, and her fingers involuntarily clenched tighter.
She really underestimated this woman.
Today she absolutely has to make her unmarried pregnancy public.
When will Sect Leader Qi arrive?
"It will probably take another half an incense stick's time."
All we can do now is wait.
The game continues.
Next, a drawing competition began, and those who had been eliminated earlier could participate if they were capable.
Because the painting process takes a long time, those invited to watch are free to enjoy snacks on the boat or admire the scenery at their leisure.
Mu Chenshuang leaned against the railing, feeling utterly bored.
"Miss, why don't we find an excuse to go back to the manor?" Linglong said to Mu Chenshuang.
Mu Chenshuang looked up into the distance, "It seems impossible for me to leave."
Feng Anxue would never allow herself to leave so easily.
"Let's wait and see how things develop. Go sit in the cabin."
"good."
Mu Chenshuang's every move was within Feng Anxue's sights. She didn't understand why Mu Chenshuang hadn't reacted yet after eating the pastry.
Mu Chenshuang had only been in the cabin for a short while.
Suddenly, a scream of terror came from the deck, accompanied by the clang of swords and the instantaneous spread of murderous intent. A group of people rushed in and hid in all directions.
"Miss."
Linglong said in a panic.
Mu Chenshuang quickly headed towards the deck.
The guards and the black-clad assassins clashed with swords, creating chaos at the scene. The guards were clearly no match for the assassins, and Feng Anxue had already been knocked unconscious and fallen into their hands.
Qi Ye, who appeared out of nowhere, was engaged in a fierce battle with the woman in purple, but Qi Ye was clearly at a disadvantage and was no match for the woman in purple.
Countless golden petals, like sharp swords, attacked Qi Ye swiftly, carrying a fierce killing intent. Just as one of the petals pierced his back...
Mu Chenshuang pulled out her hairpin and struck out with all her might.
A sharp, metallic clang rang out as the hairpin pierced the flower petal and then launched an attack towards the woman in purple.
Ji Ying easily dodged, tiptoed, and landed on the railing post. She stood on it as light as a swallow, and with a gentle lift of her slender fingers, countless golden petals swirled into her hand, gathering into a golden flower.
