Chapter 926: You Can Definitely Win Against Me Next Time

“Really?” This time, Shangguan You was truly stunned. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, “If this is so, Mu Qinghe might not be Jiang Yucheng’s man completely…”

But what’s his motive for doing so? When Yue’er asked Mu Qinghe if he betrayed her, the latter admitted it without hesitation. From start to end, he didn’t even defend himself.

Mu Qinghe was personally nurtured by Yue’er, and compared to the rest, they naturally had a deeper relationship. His doings made Yue’er feel betrayed much more strongly than many others.

According to what Mu Qinghe said, he was Jiang Yucheng’s man right from the start. But it now seems like there is something wrong… If there wasn’t another underlying reason, why would he have to do this? It’s as if… he wants to be executed?

“Is Mu Qinghe still under house arrest in the Mu Residence?”

“Yes.”

Shangguan You stood up but stopped after taking two steps out.

Elder Chen Ke tried to ask, “Your Majesty, do you want to go to the Mu Residence and question him yourself?”

Shangguan You stood with one hand behind his back and shook his head. “Forget it. If he’s not willing to speak, nobody can get an answer from him. When there’s a chance in the future, I’ll personally tell Yue’er about this. Then, we’ll decide.”

Elder Chen Ke nodded and probed, “Then, about Rong Xiu…”

“Let’s observe what happens first.”

“Yes.”

…

Mu Residence.

The yard was cold and silent. Other than a few armored Black Guards patrolling past from time to time, nobody else’s figures appeared again.

Jian Fengchi stood at the door and felt conflicted when he saw this scene. He couldn’t help but sigh deeply.?Sigh… Even though the Mu Residence only had Black Guards guarding it in the past, the atmosphere back then was greatly different from now. At the very least, there was still some liveliness back then. But now… It’s no different from a prison. I’ve always avoided this kind of place, but I have to come here now.

“Jian Fengchi, you’re here again?” A figure flashed before him, and Si Jing appeared.

Taking away the Lei Laosi mask, the current Si Jing looks much more gentlemanly. He has also slimmed down from before, but he still looks very burly and muscular. In addition to his formidable capabilities, he can cause invisible stress on people just by standing there.

Jian Fengchi coughed.

“It’s fine if you come once or twice, but you come here every day…” Si Jing sized the other male up suspiciously as he smacked his mouth and couldn’t help but ask the question that had been bothering him. “What exactly do you want to do?”

Jian Fengchi resigned himself to his fate and walked in. “Is he still in his room doing nothing?”

“Yeah!” Si Jing shrugged his shoulders. “You can go in yourself.”

Since the time Her Highness came and the three of them talked in the room… I don’t know what they said, but the few of them had strange reactions afterward. Her Highness seemed lost and depressed, while Jian Fengchi scolded Mu Qinghe for an hour in frustration after she left. Jian Fengchi didn’t talk about the details, but his general message was that Mu Qinghe didn’t know what was good for him.

As for Mu Qinghe… Ever since that day, he has stayed in the room and didn’t come out. I originally thought Her Highness locked him in the Mu Residence and restricted his freedom here, but it seems like he didn’t want to come out himself.

Hence, Jian Fengchi came every day after that. However, it didn’t seem to work at all.

Mu Qinghe was an extremely stubborn person that wouldn’t fall for any tactics.

Si Jing crossed his arms and shook his head.?Actually, I can’t figure it out either. Back then, Her Highness treated Mu Qinghe wholeheartedly and even nicer than she treated the Thirteen Yue Guards. Why did this ingrate suddenly betray Her Highness? However, Her Highness doesn’t even have any intentions of killing him up to this point…

Si Jing flung the hammer in his hands and walked away.

…

The door wasn’t locked, so Jian Fengchi directly pushed the door to enter and saw Mu Qinghe sitting there.

Hearing the commotion, Mu Qinghe didn’t react much as if he didn’t even care.

Seeing his current appearance, Jian Fengchi was enraged. He sneered and leaned against the door frame. “Are you planning to be like this forever?”

Mu Qinghe did not speak.

“Are you happy that you angered her and that she left after you purposely said those words?” Jian Fengchi furrowed his brows tightly, his usual flirtatious look currently covered by a thick layer of frost.

Mu Qinghe finally had a reaction. “I was just speaking the truth. If I did something wrong, I should be punished.”

Jian Fengchi clenched his teeth furiously. “Bullshit! Weren’t you the one who begged me to help her find evidence?!”

Jian Fengchi quickly went forward and grabbed Mu Qinghe’s collar. “Do you believe that I’ll go tell her about all of this right now!?”

Mu Qinghe knitted his brows and pushed his hand away. “It’s fine even if you say it. Could it prove that I have nothing to do with all those things?”

“You…”

“Actually, it doesn’t matter if she kills me or not. Isn’t it great that the truth is out now?”

“I think you’re—” Jian Fengchi was dissatisfied with his friend’s words and wanted to hit him, but he unintentionally saw that the back of his palm had a hint of blood.

He was suddenly dazed and took a closer look.?I’m not injured, and only Mu Qinghe touched my hand previously… This is Mu Qinghe’s blood!

Jian Fengchi’s expression suddenly changed. “What’s going on?”

Mu Qinghe saw the bloodstain on the back of his hand and secretly knitted his brows.?I’m so careless…

“It’s nothing much,” said Mu Qinghe lightly as he nonchalantly took a handkerchief and cleaned away the blood on his hands.

However, that white handkerchief was quickly drenched in fresh, red blood!

Jian Fengchi’s eyelids twitched harshly.?There’s clearly something wrong with how much Mu Qinghe is bleeding!

He rushed forward and directly stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Mu Qinghe.

Mu Qinghe agilely avoided it, but his feet weren’t stable and directly knocked against the chair beside him.

He eventually managed to stabilize himself with much difficulty, but his face flashed white as blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth.

Jian Fengchi was even more stunned. “This is…”

Plop!

Mu Qinghe fainted and suddenly collapsed onto the floor.

…

Shaoyue Palace.

Every second and minute trickled past quickly. Unknowingly, it was already evening.

As the sun went down in the west, the thick clouds reflected its brilliant light.

The exchange between Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu finally ended!

The clothes around the former were already drenched by the sweat, and she seemed exhausted.

On the other hand, Rong Xiu didn’t look any different other than his clothes being a little messy. It was as if he just leisurely walked around instead of fighting with Chu Liuyue for a long time.

Chu Liuyue breathed harshly and couldn’t help clenching her teeth when she looked at Rong Xiu.?This man is always restricting his abilities to be just one notch above mine! How infuriating!

“Y-you actually hid so much of your ability—” She was about to go forward, but she directly fell forward as her body turned soft.

Rong Xiu went forward, hugged her into his arms, and carried her bridal style. He then smiled. “No, I’m just a little stronger than you this time. You’ll definitely be able to win next time, Yue’er.”

Chu Liuyue clutched his face and grunted heavily. “I’ll definitely overtake you on the Qing Yun Ranking next time!”
