Mo Qinghan wanted nothing more than to turn away and leave. Not only was she unable to confirm that the two men had really been taken by Mo Qingli, but Mo Qingli’s father had died in an attempt to save the Empress. If she really were to tell this matter to Mother, there was no guarantee that she herself would get off scot-free either.
Furthermore, more recently now Mo Qingli had been acting unusually, as if she were a completely different person. Her change left Mo Qinghan feeling extremely unsettled.
Mo Qinghan did not lack propriety. Otherwise, she would have never been able to become powerful and gather followers during the time Mo Qingyu had dominated the court.
Weighing the pros and cons, Mo Qinghan held back the severity in her gaze, instead giving a light chuckle. “Your sister was really too short-tempered, to falsely accuse her younger sister like this! I now understand what Younger Sister was talking about. Then, your elder sister won’t interrupt your rust anymore.” After she finished talking, she turned around to leave. Unexpectedly, before she could take a step Mo Qingli grasped onto her with both hands.
“Elder Sister, since you’re already here, why don’t you sit down with me and enjoy some tea?” Mo Qingli smiled as she pulled Mo Qinghan towards her. Purposefully, she pretended that she could not see the green hue that Mo Qinghan’s face adopted.
Mo Qingli had purposefully dragged Mo Qinghan into her residence. After hearing Yue Yao’s description, Mo Qingli had some suspicions towards Mo Qinghan’s true ident.i.ty. After all, a normal mortal would definitely not have the amount of magic power needed to kill so many people. As her fingers encircled Mo Qinghan’s wrist, after careful inspection she realized that it was indeed a mortal body. Then, how could what had happened be explained?
Mo Qingli’s eyebrows knitted together as she resolved to probe deeper. Suddenly, an extremely powerful force shook through Mo Qingli’s body, and her indifferent face changed.
That force she had just felt was obviously the energy of an immortal. However, how could an immortal’s energy be present within a mortal’s body?
This all happened in a split second. Mo Qinghan only saw that the hand that Mo Qingli had used to grab her suddenly let go, and a ridiculing smile filled her face. “Want to touch me? You’re still inadequate.”
Mo Qingli wanted to examine Mo Qinghan another time. Just as she reached for Mo Qinghan’s hands again, a beauty with faintly discernible dimples and an unique radiance appeared. Feng Chenling, who had rushed over to the scene immediately after hearing about how Mo Qinghan had come over to cause trouble, stared blankly at her.
A pair of extremely bright gold robes reflected dazzlingly against the sunlight. The wearer gave the impression of an unmatched beauty, blinding Feng Chenling’s eyes. Still, he did not forget the true reason for his appearance. After a moment of hesitation, he rushed to Mo Qingli’s side, glaring at Mo Qinghan. His two fists were also clenched tightly in a mixture of fury and anger.
“What are you trying to do?”
Mo Qingli’s icy pupils looked at Feng Chenling, in which a hint of warmth emerged. He was clearly extremely afraid, but despite his obvious fear, was still willing to stand in front of her and defend her. Her frozen heart was slowly being thawed by this man. With a hint of adoration, she said, “Feng Chenling, you…’
“Wife, I won’t let her hurt you.” Feng Chenling’s gaze stared staunchly at Mo Qingli. He tore Mo Qingli’s hands away from Mo Qinghan. The way he saw it, Mo Qinghan had grabbed Mo Qingli in an effort to humiliate her. Angrily, he turned to look at Mo Qinghan with new enmity.
Hearing this, Mo Qingli’s heart became filled with all kinds of emotion. Who would have thought that after thousands of years of isolation, there would be someone that care for her in the end. Her nose slightly flushed red. This kind of feeling was alright. She was beginning to realize why the Jade Emperor had told those words.
