Volume 1: Phoenix Nirvana, Reborn from the Flames Chapter 13: Who is the Visitor?
Mu Zong Pei's face turned pale for a moment, then he quickly regained his composure. "Dad knows you've been wronged all these years, but it's too late now. You should rest well first." He said, then turned to ask Chang Feng, "Chang Feng, are you staying home tonight?" Mu Chang Feng rarely stayed at home, so Mu Zong Pei asked this question.
"Father, I still have something to attend to in the palace later, so I won't be resting at home."
"Hmm." Mu Zongpei's eyes swept over the boy without leaving any trace, nodded, and turned around to see Qin Muzhi with a tired face, yawning. She felt disgusted in her heart, frowned, and scolded: "Seeing your own sister fall to the ground and not helping her up, you're useless!" With a flick of her long sleeve, she walked out of the courtyard, followed closely by Fang Qing'er with her waist swaying like the wind, as well as Qin Muzhi and the maids who were busy helping up the lady.
Everyone has left, and the small courtyard that was once noisy has returned to its usual quietness. Under the dim night sky, it looks even more desolate.
"Qing Ge, how's the wound on your back? Do you want me to call a doctor over to take a look?"
"It's nothing, just a flesh wound." Qing Ge swept her sleeve and replied with a hint of seriousness, the most critical moment has passed, now it looks terrifying but actually it's nothing. When she was a mercenary and an assassin before, she had endured far more than this, tens or even hundreds of times worse, and still survived.
"Mo Qing Ge, you're doing great." The boy slowly walked out at this time, his eyes gleaming with arrogance and a hint of evil, the corners of his eyes raised, his round phoenix eyes exuding an aura of dominance and majesty. His moon-white long robe was stained with stardust, as if he were a celestial being strolling out under the moonlight, yet also possessed a few hints of a demonic charm.
Qing Ge nodded slightly and replied bluntly, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
The man standing next to Mu Changfeng's face changed slightly, seemingly worried about Qing Ge's way of speaking, but the boy didn't mind at all and instead smiled lowly. His loud voice carried a hint of evil in the cold night wind: "You're the first woman to drive me away." As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Mu Changfeng, as if remembering something, his face suddenly changed, and he said seriously: "I'll leave for today, woman, wait for it, soon we'll meet again." After finishing speaking, he flashed out of the courtyard.
"Sister, big brother has something to attend to and will leave first. He'll come back to see you in a few days." Mu Changfeng followed the boy out as well.
The green moon is high in the sky, the starlight is shining brightly, and a few insects are chirping in the small courtyard.
"Big sister, you were really great just now! I've never seen the big madam look so disheveled before. Ping'er thinks you're looking good like this. Seeing how you handled yourself today, it seems your internal energy has recovered, right? From now on, we don't have to be afraid of Second Miss and Cousin Miss coming to provoke us anymore." Ping'er's small face was filled with excitement, her two eyes shining brightly under the moonlight.
"In the future, if she dares to do so again, you will often see it." Qing Ge said lightly, her exquisite face glowing with a silver moonlight, and her black clothes also had a hint of an immortal's elegance. Standing in the wind, her beauty was unmatched, and she knew clearly that she didn't have internal energy, but her skills were not something ordinary people could provoke.
Ping'er listened to the words, covering her mouth in disbelief, her eyes shining with admiration. "Really... Miss, you're so amazing...... But Master told you to go live in Xing Garden, why didn't you go? It's really beautiful there, with hot springs all year round, and it looks like a paradise..."
"It doesn't matter where you live, Ping'er. It's late at night, go back and rest early." Qing Ge smiled helplessly at the chattering Ping'er. This little maid, living in such an environment, was still so innocent and optimistic, which was quite rare. There were no free lunches in this world, and she didn't expect much from Qin Garden, no matter how beautiful it was, it wouldn't be as convenient as a modern super-intelligent mansion.
Ping'er smiled and scratched her hair, although she had a lot to say, but since Big Miss took care of Second Miss, Taboo Miss, and Madame today, she must be tired. With a bright smile, she nodded and said: "Big Miss thinks I'm annoying, so rest well, Ping'er will come see you again tomorrow."
As she walked into the wooden house, Qing Ge was about to lie down when her sharp eyes noticed that there was something new on the wooden table in the room. It was a circular hollow jade pendant with six petals, in a fiery cloud color, with a auspicious cloud pattern carved in the middle, exquisitely beautiful and of the highest craftsmanship. The auspicious clouds seemed to be flying, like the evening sunset shining through the jade pendant, emitting a warm glow, even when held in her palm, there was a slight warmth.
Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her clear eyes flashing dimly, who put this here?
She's certain that the only person who has entered this room from the beginning is that boy, and when she was bathing earlier, there were no objects on the table. She also has confidence that nobody approached this room just now, so it must be that boy who put it.
She touched the jade pendant, it's a good piece of jade, estimated to be worth a lot of money. If she were to pawn or auction it off, it should fetch a good price. Just as she had decided to leave the Mu household, having some wealth by her side would certainly make things more convenient for her.
Qing Ge casually put away the jade and lay down on the simple wooden bed, the white gauze curtains gently swaying, creating ripples of texture.
Today is the first time she has met so many people since arriving in this unknown world, and it also means that she is no longer the former Mu Xiye. All sorts of things from before are now just memories, sometimes she really feels like she's slept for a while, and doesn't know which one is her real life.
She recalled Ping'er's words about recovering her inner strength earlier, and the sharpness hidden in Qing's gentle eyes. She pinched her own pulse, feeling very puzzled inside. She had heard of ancient martial arts, and it was said that some old martial arts families still had people with qinggong (light skill) in modern times. But this body of hers, which was clearly a martial arts prodigy before the age of 13, with excellent roots and bones, how could it become useless overnight?
If it wasn't for someone's interference, then there must be something strange about this body. I don't know if I'll have another chance to cultivate my internal energy in the future. If I can develop exceptional internal energy and combine it with agile movements, wouldn't that be even more impressive?
There's also Mei Zi Ru, I don't know what she looks like now. Tonight I was originally going to go to her place to take back the things that were snatched away, but unfortunately it was messed up by the old lady. However, there's no rush, after she sells the jade and exchanges for enough silver, I'll go take back those things again.
In my heart, I was thinking of things that couldn't be said. Gradually, the blue moon fell, daylight broke through, and the sky opened a new page. The dark blue sky was dyed with golden light.
The wooden door of the hut creaked slightly, and light footsteps approached the bed. Qing Ge, who seemed to be sleeping very comfortably, suddenly turned over with a slow and lazy movement that quickly accelerated. Her tightly closed eyes opened, and a cold light flashed, making people feel chilly. With her hand condensed in energy, she instantly slashed at the neck of the person approaching her.
"It's me!"
By the way
Hmmm... a very quiet comment section, are the drunk Wenyuan fans speechless?... pointing fingers...
