Black Crow squinted at the woman on the stage while curled up, and for a moment, his eyes seemed lost in thought. After a while, he slowly raised the corners of his lips and stood up straight.
This new Master of the Building is quite interesting...
In Nan Xie Tower, Leyang woke up and requested to see her.
At that time, Su Peijiu was holding a cat raised by Hua Qian and watching the fish in the pond, feeling quite content.
Hearing that her subordinate Leyang wanted to see her, she suddenly remembered this deceiver. "Let him come in."
"Yes, Master of the Building!" The subordinate respectfully withdrew.
Since that grand meeting on the high platform, the people of Nan Xie Tower had completely treated her with utmost respect and obedience. This made her feel somewhat unnatural at first, but fortunately, the foundation laid by the princess was still there, so she accepted it without hesitation.
"Second Sister, the prince is not..." Leyang began as he entered, but Su Peijiu raised her hand to stop him from continuing: "I don't want to hear it."
"Second Sister..." Leyang knelt down on the ground: "This time, the prince truly has his reasons."
Su Peijiu glanced at him indifferently: "It seems to have nothing to do with me. Your injuries are healed; you should leave."
Leyang frowned: "Second Sister, aren't you coming with me?"
Su Peijiu smirked sarcastically: "What he Qi Mo can do, I Su Peijiu can do too. Leaving halfway is not solely his prerogative." With that, she stood up, cradling the lazy cat in her arms and walked away into the distance.
Hua Qian rested his chin on his hand while sitting on a stone chair, looking at Leyang, who was still kneeling on the ground, expressionlessly mocking: "Now that you're healed, you should leave. Our Master of the Building doesn't need your concern." Their Master of the Building would protect Nan Xie Tower.
After waking up from a nap, Leyang realized he increasingly could not understand this Second Sister. She had actually become the Master of the Building of Nan Xie Tower. What identity was she still hiding?
If that's the case, wouldn't the prince's plans need to change?
"No! He must quickly return to report to the lord." With this thought, he stood up, cupped his fists towards Hua Qian, and said, "Until we meet again," before leaving. He noticed the exit as he walked out.
Hua Qian frowned slightly, thinking that this person was quite rude; who would want to meet him again?
Over there, Su Peijiu placed Kitten on the ground to let it go, but Kitten was reluctant to leave her embrace, circling around her feet and meowing.
"What is it?" she asked.
Flower Mother smiled and replied, "It has already left."
"Very well." Su Peijiu's gaze was distant. "I want to see what kind of troubles Qi Mo has." Now that she had Nan Xie Tower and Linglong Spine, everything was within her reach.
What could Yuan Cang, that Dog Emperor, possibly contend with her?
It didn't matter; she would take her time. She wanted the people of the Yuan Cang royal family to feel the despair and helplessness rising from deep within their hearts bit by bit. The name Su Peijiu would become a nightmare for all of them!
However, what Su Peijiu did not expect was that Qi Mo arrived so quickly. He had captured one of the people from Nan Xie Tower who had gone out on a mission and left a letter stating that if they wanted someone back, the Master of the Building must come personally.
Seeing this made Su Peijiu so furious that she felt like going mad. If Qi Mo fell into her hands, she would definitely torment him to death! Otherwise, he would threaten her!
Just a few days after taking office as the Master of the Building at Nan Xie Tower, she couldn't afford to mess up. So Flower Mother sent the most skilled person from Nan Xie Tower to accompany her.
As Su Peijiu walked out of the building, she was still resentful—not for any other reason but because the most skilled person in that building happened to be Black Crow, who had once looked down on her.
Although Black Crow did not actively do anything to her today, she still felt something was off.
Finally, they arrived at Qi Mo's location, which was a bamboo house. A few young men and women stood outside the door, looking quite refined. Leyang was still standing in his usual spot—at the door.
Upon seeing Su Peijiu approach, he stepped aside and said, "The lord has been waiting for you for some time."
Su Peijiu pushed the door open and didn't even glance at Leyang.
As soon as she entered, she saw the god-like man standing by the window, his back to her. She smirked sarcastically, "Is the prince still in the mood to enjoy the scenery? The people in the palace must be anxious and restless."
Qi Mo slowly turned around, a faint Azure glimmer in his eyes. His voice was Elegant and deep: "You’re here."
"I'm here, so where are my people?"
Qi Mo avoided answering and gestured for her to sit down. Su Peijiu impatiently took a seat: "What do you want to explain? The prince doesn’t need to explain anything; I also Fated to Suffer have no need to listen."
"It seems you are unwilling to forgive me." He smiled bitterly. "I never asked you to forgive me, but hearing it from your own mouth... my heart still aches."
Su Peijiu didn’t know why she couldn’t suppress the surging anger within her. She clenched her fists under her sleeves and looked at him: "Hypocritical! What do you still want from me? Qi Mo, you’ve gone too far."
"Too far?!... How can it be enough?" Suddenly, the man stepped forward and grasped her shoulders, startling her into a gasp. "Su Peijiu, tell me, how can I ever be enough for you?"
Black Crow heard the commotion outside and tried to push the door open but was stopped by Leyang.
"Step aside."
Leyang glanced at him coldly without speaking.
Black Crow smirked and said, "I've been wanting to experience the skills of Smiling Face Yama's first guard." He drew his knife, and Leyang frowned and drew his sword as the two began to fight...
Ignoring the sounds of battle outside, Qi Mo's eyes turned entirely Azure: "Why won’t you forgive me? Why?"
Su Peijiu broke free from his grip, stepped back, and stood up. She frowned: "Qi Mo, what’s wrong with you?"
"That's right, I'm crazy because I met you! That's why I'm crazy!"
Su Peijiu fell silent as she looked at the man before her, his almost enchanting emerald eyes. She wanted to see through a bit of the facade, but she couldn't...
So she lowered her head and chuckled lightly. Qi Mo could not discern her expression.
“Qi Mo... do you truly have feelings for me now?”
Qi Mo was taken aback... he did not speak.
Seeing that he remained silent, Su Peijiu looked up at him, her smile bold and provocative: “If you really have feelings for me... then you are bound to lose this battle!”
She gazed at the man before her, feeling a sense of vengeful pleasure, but strangely it was not as intense as she had imagined; instead, there was a bittersweet taste mixed in.
The man in black stood there, the wind blowing gently through the window lifted his dark hair. She saw him chuckle softly: “From the moment I met you... I was already defeated...” After he finished speaking, he turned away slowly, but that smile seemed to be imprinted on Su Peijiu's heart.
Why... why did that smile of his...
One smile felt like a cry...
“Just go, your people are waiting outside...” The man spoke after a while, his voice sounding aged and weary.
Su Peijiu felt somewhat at a loss. Wasn't her goal to make Qi Mo develop feelings for her? Why did it hurt so much now that he had?
Have you forgotten the enmity of being Qin Ge? Have you forgotten how your father was slain by his sword in a pool of blood? Have you forgotten how Yuer cried out in despair beneath his soldiers?
Have you forgotten all of this? Have you forgotten the painful responsibilities of your rebirth...?
Her hand touched the door railing as she gently pulled it open, a sigh escaping her heart: You ask me what you should do, but what about me? Qi Mo... what should I do about you?
She had used all her strength in life to hate someone, only to find in the end that she could not continue... Qi Mo, how could you make it so that I cannot hate you...?
She raised her eyes and saw Leyang and Black Crow's swords pointed at each other's necks. She turned around, slowly closed the door, and walked out. "Leyang, give me back my person."
Leyang sheathed his sword and turned to exchange glances with the group on the other side. Soon, a man dressed in a white shirt with crimson purple robes was pushed forward. Su Peijiu saw that the man was not seriously harmed, so she nodded lightly. "Let's go."
After she left, Leyang entered the House and looked at his master leaning against the window. He spoke up, "My lord, is this really good for her?"
Qi Mo turned around, the Azure in his eyes had already vanished. He squinted at Leyang. "Did she kill someone in the prison?"
Leyang quickly nodded. "Yes."
A strange light flashed in Qi Mo's eyes. "You ask me if this is good for her... But Leyang, with who I am now, how can I have the right to stand beside her?"
He was too dirty... trapped in darkness with no peace... How could he be worthy of her?
But what if he pulled her down? Would that mean there was still a chance between them?
Leyang lowered his head, thinking of that woman's smiling face, then looked at the current prince and sighed inwardly. The prince's obsession was too deep.
