Jiang Yifan saw their interaction and his eyes glinted. “Sister, when did you become so close to him?”

Xia Muqing didn’t know how to explain it to him, and she merely muttered a hazy explanation.

However, this also caused the darkness in Jiang Yifan’s heart to grow.

Looking at Xia Muqing, he thought to himself, ‘Sister, you were the one who wronged me first. Don’t blame me for being ruthless.’

The first person to sense that something was wrong with Jiang Yifan, was the little phoenix. It flew around him uneasily. It didn’t like Jiang Yifan like this.

Xia Muqing noticed that it was behaving oddly and waved at it. “Little phoenix, come here.”

The little phoenix flew to Xia Muqing happily and chattered away.

Jiang Yifan’s expression became even colder. It was as if the little phoenix had also betrayed him. Frustration surged within him, and he suddenly shouted, “Little phoenix, come here!”

Xia Muqing and the little phoenix were shocked by his shout. Both of them turned around. The little phoenix didn’t dare to go to him and it leaned closer to Xia Muqing.

This small action infuriated Jiang Yifan even more. He rearranged up his expression and gently said, “Little phoenix, be good. Come here. We’re going back.”

The little phoenix still didn’t want to go to him.

Xia Muqing said, “It’s still early today. Why don’t you let it play in my room?”

The phoenix immediately cried out in joy. It had not played with Xia Muqing for a long time.

However, Jiang Yifan refused. “I need your help with something, so we have to go back.”

Xia Muqing didn’t think too much of it and assumed that he really had something important to do. She nodded and said, “All right, you guys can go back.”

Jiang Yifan asked, “Little phoenix, don’t you want to help me?”

The little phoenix was a little unhappy, but it also wanted to help Jiang Yifan. After glancing at Xia Muqing and Jiang Yifan, it finally chose Jiang Yifan.

Jiang Yifan’s expression finally softened. He nodded at Xia Muqing and left.

Xia Muqing looked at him and felt that something was amiss.

A servant walked over and interrupted her thoughts. The servant bowed and said, “First Young Mistress, this is a letter from Princess Consort Yu.”

Xia Muqing nodded and accepted it. She then returned to the courtyard with the letter and forgot about what had just happened.

She returned to her room and opened the envelope. Written inside were all sorts of insults to vent Xia Chuxing’s anger and dissatisfaction with her. She raised her eyebrows slightly. Xia Chuxing, whom she met the last time, probably wouldn’t do such a thing.

Could it be that she had acted differently because of some expert’s guidance last time?

She had regained her personality in just two days?

Xia Muqing wasn’t angry. She had never cared about Xia Chuxing at all. Her fingers subconsciously rubbed the surface of the envelope and she casually threw the letter aside. Just as she threw it out, she felt that something was wrong and she picked it up again.

She rubbed against a corner of the letter twice, tearing open a layer of paper from the letter. Another letter was beneath it.

From the name on the letter, it seemed to be a letter Ruan Yu had written to Xia Chuxing.

The letter was about a type of worm that had attracted her attention. The Gu worm was a type of witchcraft.

After escaping from the Shamans the last time, she had been worried that something would happen to the Shamans again. Indeed, she had discovered their tracks now, especially after witnessing the unusual behavior of the Goddess Clan. She wondered if they had succeeded in resurrecting the Magus God.

Xia Muqing became a little more serious and studied the letter carefully.

According to the letter, Ruan Yu had a type of poisonous worm, the Love Gu Worm. If it were used on a human, he would fall in love with the first person he saw and be unable to free himself.

Ruan Yu asked Xia Chuxing to invite King Zhennan to the banquet that Prince Yu had prepared. He wanted Xia Chuxing to plant a parasite in Prince Yu’s residence, which would clear the suspicion of the Xia family.

Ruan Yu hadn’t taken any precautions against Xia Chuxing. She had assumed that since she was her daughter, she would share her plans with her. However, she had no idea that her daughter had long since bore a grudge against her.

Xia Muqing burnt the letter after reading it. She frowned with a heavy heart.

It wasn’t because she was worried about Ruan Yu and her daughter, but because she was worried about where Ruan Yu had obtained this Gu worm and if it had anything to do with the shamans.

She was still worried about the Shamans when other trouble had arrived.

Thousands of miles away, the Jin Country had sent a group of people here. They had snuck into the city quietly tonight and their purpose was clear. They wanted to enter the Xia residence.

Taking advantage of the darkness, a few black shadows quickly jumped into the Xia residence. Their movements were strange, and no one noticed them.

Xia Muqing was about to blow the candles out. She walked to the table where the candles were placed. Before she could do anything, the candles were extinguished by the wind.

Xia Muqing instantly knew that someone had barged in. She tensed up and surveyed her surroundings.

Without the candlelight, the surroundings fell into darkness. However, Xia Muqing had lived in the forest since she was young and had long mastered the ability to see at night. A hole was opened in the window and a bamboo tube was extended in. Then, there was a cloud of white smoke.

Xia Muqing stopped breathing and quietly moved to the bed, pretending to be unconscious.

Squinting her eyes, she caught sight of a few men in black barging into the room. She pretended to be unconscious and she lay on the bed without moving.

These men in black were highly skilled in martial arts. They leaped in through the window without making a sound.

The men in black seemed to be looking for something as they searched the room, especially the dressing table. After searching all the jewelry boxes, they went to the bed and looked at Xia Muqing.

One of them raised a dagger to stab Xia Muqing, who was lying on the bed.
