Editor: Atlas Studios Mu Qianyue strolled alone in the imperial garden, and as she walked, she actually got lost!
Grandfather was called to the council hall by Nalan Zheng, and only left a word to go to Xuande Hall.
It was her first time visiting the palace; how could she know where Xuande Hall was?
This time, the emperor held a banquet inviting civil and military officials, and all ministers could bring their families to attend.
It seemed there was nothing good about it, and it was likely a Hongmen Banquet.
While Mu Qianyue was wandering around out of boredom, a woman’s clear and cold voice came over, “Nalan Jing, what do you think you are?
Just a blind man, and you dare to contradict this princess!”
Her eyebrows lightly furrowed.
Nalan Jing?
Is someone giving him trouble?
Her feet involuntarily moved forward, hiding behind a big tree.
“I-I didn’t mean to…” A low, weak voice, tinged with grievance and fear.
Looking up, there was a figure in a moonlit white robe, stainless, with an exquisitely beautiful face showing bewilderment and panic, and downcast pale purple eyes were dull, as if they had lost their color.
“Hmph!
Is saying you didn’t mean to contradict this princess enough?” Nalan Liuxin’s face showed a sarcastic smile, “Come, give him a good lesson for me!”
“You…
you can’t hit me, I’m your cousin…” The weak voice held no authority, but no one saw the fleeting murderous intent and mockery in those lowered eyes.
The slender fingers under the white sleeve robes clenched tightly but slowly relaxed, for now was not the time to strike back…
“Heh…
cousin?
Just a blind man, how could I have such a cousin like you?
Oh, I almost forgot, you’re a waste too.
Your existence is simply the shame of Phoenix Shadow Country!” Nalan Liuxin taunted, and yelled at the two guards beside her.
“Bang!” One of the guards sneered and punched Nalan Jing.
After all, he was just a blind man who couldn’t retaliate.
It was said that at this age, he still couldn’t cultivate.
The face, white as jade like an immortal’s, suddenly had a cyan bruise.
Idiot!
Mu Qianyue cursed softly, quickly snapping off a branch and flicking it with her fingers.
“Swoosh…” A muffled sound was heard as the branch accurately pierced through the guard’s wrist, blood gushing out, causing the guard’s face to turn pale as he howled like a butchered pig.
“Swoosh, swoosh…” Two more sounds of breaking wind, as the two guards tipped their heads and fell, unconscious.
“Who…” Nalan Liuxin was startled, her beautiful face showing panic and fear.
She looked around but didn’t see a soul.
Just then, a black sack suddenly fell from the sky, covering her head, followed by punches raining down like raindrops.
“Ah ah ah…” The shrill screams rang out, and before long, there was no sound, apparently knocked unconscious.
Before her, the young girl wore a deep purple red plum dress, her hair pulled into a simple cloud bun.
Her small face was full of icy breath.
In Nalan Jing’s eyes flashed a narrow smile, it was her!
Mu Qianyue stood up and, without a word, pulled Nalan Jing along and left.
It was not until they were far away that she stopped, looked at him, her eyebrows tightly knitted, seemingly very angry, “You’re blind, not dumb.
When others hit you, can’t you fight back?!”
Unable to understand why she got involved?
“I, I can’t beat them…” The boy kept his head down, like a child who had done something wrong, his eyes innocent to the extreme, making Mu Qianyue’s heart ache.
Alas…
“Next time someone bullies you, use this against them!” She took a small green bottle from her bosom and stuffed it into his hand, speaking angrily.
“Oh!
Alright!” He raised his head and smiled faintly.
In an instant, it was like a hundred flowers blooming or like the bright moon hanging high, captivating and soul-stealing, making it impossible to look directly at him.
“Sister, we really are fated to meet, we meet again!
Sister, did you come to see me?
It’s a pity I can’t see what you look like, but with such a beautiful heart, sister must be even more beautiful, more beautiful than the fairy in heaven!”
Hearing this, Mu Qianyue was stunned.
A beautiful heart?
All she knew was everyone feared her, calling her methods cruel, and no one ever praised her for having a beautiful heart.
“Don’t let anyone bully you casually again, I don’t like it!”
Nalan Jing’s body suddenly stiffened, as if something warm and joyful broke into his heart, slowly melting his frozen heart—don’t let anyone bully you casually again, I don’t like it!
“Alright!”
Looking at the boy’s purple eyes like glass, but without any focus, Mu Qianyue couldn’t help but reach out to touch his eyes, but stopped an inch away, speaking softly and gently, “Trust me, I will heal your eyes and let you see the colors and wonders of this world again!”
Suddenly, in the distance came a scream, along with the sound of guards moving.
Mu Qianyue’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
It seemed someone found the unconscious Nalan Liuxin and her two guards, so she immediately said, “I have something to do now, I’m leaving first, be careful yourself.”
With that, she quickly left.
Watching the girl’s disappearing figure, the pale lips curved into a beautiful, faint smile, the purple eyes gleaming.
Trust me, I will heal your eyes…
Then he looked down at the small bottle in his hand, Black Ant Powder, she actually had something like this.
The name Black Ant Powder sounds ordinary, but its poison is immensely dangerous.
Those affected by it don’t show any symptoms initially until a day later, when red spots cover the whole body, as if bitten by thousands of black ants, with the toxin invading the vital organs, leading to death in seven days.
Of course, this Black Ant Powder is only effective on those below the Venerable Martial Artist rank.
But how many Venerable Martial Artists are there in this palace?
…
Just as Mu Qianyue was rounding the rockery, a red figure suddenly appeared in front of her, a face so captivating it could enchant anyone, even more charming than a woman’s by three parts.
His thin lips subtly curved, shaking a folding fan, with a handsome face showing a wicked smile, truly flirty beyond measure.
“You are quite bold, daring to beat the princess, this is a capital offense!”
Her eyes flickered, raising an eyebrow, “Do you have evidence?”
“I saw it with my own eyes, isn’t that enough?” Nalan Jie stepped forward, unabashedly looking Mu Qianpeng up and down, with a playful, wicked smile at the corner of his lips, “Are you that waste Mu Qianyue?”
Mu Qianyue squinted her eyes, as expected, he saw that scene!
“Haha, this time it seems the brother mistook a pearl for a fish eye.” Nalan Jie chuckled, his eyes flickering with dark light.
A waste easily knocked out a Fourth Rank True Martial Artist, interesting.
Looking at the man approaching, displeasure flashed in Mu Qianyue’s eyes, her feet subtly retreating a few steps, pulling a little distance away from him.
“I advise you to stay away from that blind man, this won’t do you any good.” Nalan Jie’s face slightly condensed.
“It’s none of your business.” She slightly frowned.
Nalan Jie laughed, “Did you take a liking to that blind man?”
“None of your damn business!” Mu Qianyue grinned.
