The Hidden Shadow Pavilion exudes a somewhat oppressive atmosphere. The candlelight flickers in the room, casting two intertwined shadows.
A hint of complex emotions is revealed in Tuoba Gui's eyes, and his fingers unconsciously tap lightly on the table.
"Brother Gui, you know, I never wanted to compete for anything. I just want a quiet life," Tuoba Xuan's voice carried a hint of helplessness, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Tuoba Gui's eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of a cold smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. He slowly stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the moonlight outside. His figure appeared somewhat lonely in the moonlight.
"Duke Xuanwu, we are both of royal blood, and our destinies have been predetermined since birth. Neither of us can choose our own path," Tuoba Gui said in a low voice, a hint of indifference flashing in his eyes.
Murong Yao stared at them intently, her heart filled with confusion. She couldn't understand why these two brothers, who should have been close, had so many barriers between them.
Tuoba Xuan let out a deep sigh, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. He slowly stood up and walked to Tuoba Gui's side, placing his hand on his shoulder.
"Gui, you know that I have never had any intention of seizing power. Yet you have repeatedly framed me, even imprisoning me here," Tuoba Xuan's voice revealed a hint of resentment and confusion.
Tuoba Gui's body stiffened slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He turned his head to look at Tuoba Xuan, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Duke Xuanwu, even if you have no intention of seizing power, what does it matter?" Tuoba Gui said.
Tuoba Xuan smiled coldly, a hint of indifference flashing in his eyes. "Gui Di, I just want to know why you did this."
The atmosphere in the room became even more solemn at that moment. Tuoba Gui's eyes revealed an indescribable pain. His fingers trembled slightly, as if trying to suppress his inner emotions.
"Don't call me brother, I don't have a big brother like you. I only do this because I envy you," Tuoba Gui's voice was low, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Why should all the benefits fall on you? I work so hard, but no one sees it. Father, mother, only have eyes for you, I... I just want to get a little bit of their attention."
Tuoba Gui's voice was filled with helplessness and sadness. A hint of tears flashed in his eyes, but he quickly forced them back.
Tuoba Xuan looked at him, feeling a mix of emotions. He had never imagined that his younger brother had been carrying such feelings all along. A sense of guilt welled up in his heart.
"Brother Gui..." Tuoba Xuan's voice choked up.
Murong Yao hid in the big tree outside the window, her heart filled with shock.
She had never imagined that such bitterness could be hidden between these seemingly indifferent royal brothers.
Tuoba Gui's tone changed, and his eyes became as sharp as a knife. He stared coldly at Tuoba Hua with a threatening voice.
"Duke Xuanwu, you better confess quickly. Who was the assassin sent to save you that day? If I catch him myself, he will undoubtedly die," Tuoba Gui spoke in a cold and resolute voice.
Tuoba Xuan was surprised by Tuoba Gui's sudden mention of this matter. His eyes flashed slightly, but quickly returned to calm.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Tuoba Xuan said calmly, but his heart was in turmoil.
Tuoba Gui sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "That assassin actually stole the jade hairpin from my chamber. You know, that hairpin possesses immortal power. It was a miraculous object that came into being with us at birth. But it seems that only you can use that hairpin, as when I touch it, it becomes an ordinary jade hairpin."
Tuoba Xuan felt even more panicked. He knew that the jade hairpin was indeed something they had since birth, but he had never imagined it would fall into the hands of an assassin.
Murong Yao stood aside, her heart in turmoil. She knew that the jade hairpin was what she had taken in order to temporarily restore her immortal power, and then used it to sense Master's whereabouts. She worried that this incident might expose her identity.
Tuoba Gui's gaze grew colder, and his voice became more severe. "Duke Xuanwu, you better come clean. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Tuoba Xuan clenched his teeth, knowing that he couldn't let Murong Yao's identity be exposed. He took a deep breath, trying hard to keep himself calm.
"Guifei, I really don't know what you're talking about. I haven't seen that hairpin in a long time either," Tuoba Hua said firmly, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
The atmosphere in the room became heavy once again. Murong Yao stood silently on the side, her heart filled with worry and unease.
Tuoba Gui flashed a hint of displeasure in his eyes, staring tightly at Tuoba Xuan as if trying to find something from his gaze. His fingers tapped on the table, making a crisp sound.
"Do you really know nothing?" Tuoba Gui spoke coldly, his eyes filled with suspicion.
Tuoba Xuan nodded firmly, his eyes unwavering as he locked gazes with Tuoba Gui. He knew that at this moment, he couldn't afford any hesitation.
"Guide, I really don't know. I can't even remember what that jade hairpin looks like," Tuoba Hua spoke calmly and resolutely.
Tuoba Gui snorted coldly, his gaze moving away from Tuoba Xuan's face and once again looking at the moonlight outside the window. His heart was filled with conflict and confusion, not understanding why Tuoba Xuan would deny so firmly.
Murong Yao stood by, her heart also in turmoil.
She knew she couldn't let Tuoba Gui discover her identity. She silently watched the conversation between the two, feeling so nervous that she could hardly breathe.
Suddenly, Tuoba Gui stood up, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. He walked up to Tuoba Hua and looked at him deeply.
"Duke Xuanwu, since you claim not to know, I won't press further. But remember, I won't let this matter go. There are heavy guards outside, no matter how many assassins come, they won't be able to rescue you from here," Tuoba Gui's voice was cold and resolute.
Tuoba Xuan nodded, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart, but he knew he couldn't show it. He had to protect Shangguan Yaochi and not let her identity be exposed.
Tuoba Gui turned and left The Hidden Shadow Pavilion, leaving Tuoba Hua alone. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat heavy.
Murong Yao Finally feels a weight lifted off her chest, at least for now her identity is still safe.
But the crisis is far from over, she must be more careful and not let her true identity be discovered.
Murong Yao was about to leave the shelter of the big tree when she suddenly heard Tuoba Xuan's voice, causing her to pause.
She turned around and saw Tuoba Xuan facing the window, his eyes filled with worry and anxiety.
"Yaochi, is that you?" Tuoba Hua's voice was trembling, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Murong Yao was surprised to see Tuoba Xuan recognize her at this moment. She nervously nodded and said with a choked voice, "Master, it's me."
Tuoba Xuan walked to the iron window, a hint of tears in his eyes. Using his immortal power to transmit his voice, he spoke with love and concern, "Yaochi, listen carefully. Master cannot leave here temporarily. When he was reincarnated, there was an accident and his soul was split in two. The Tuoba Gui you are facing is also Master's original spirit, but this other half of Master's spirit has been contaminated and manipulated by dark energy, filled with resentment and jealousy, unable to listen to reason."
Murong Yao was shocked to hear this. She had never imagined that things could be so complicated. A determined look flashed in her eyes, knowing that she had to find a way to rescue Master.
"Master, I will definitely find a way to rescue you," Murong Yao said firmly, her eyes filled with determination.
Tuoba Xuan nodded, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. He knew that with Yaochi out there, they would definitely have a chance to turn things around.
"Yaochi, you must be careful. Tuoba Gui's primordial spirit is very powerful, and his heart is filled with hatred. You must protect yourself and not act rashly. When the time is right, we will figure something out together," Tuoba Xuan said with concern in his voice.
Murong Yao nodded, knowing that Master was right. She had to be more careful and not expose her actions.
"Master, I understand. You can trust me, I will definitely be careful," Murong Yao said firmly.
Tuoba Xuan looked at Murong Yao with love and concern.
He knew that this test would be extremely difficult for Yaochi, but he also believed that with her intelligence and wisdom, she would definitely be able to overcome it.
