He lifted his foot and kicked the woman directly in front of the stunned man. She covered her bleeding chest with both hands, her voice chilling as if coated in frost. Anger filled her dark eyes with terrifying red veins, making her look fearsome. "Jiang Wei, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
His sister had drugged her with an aphrodisiac and even sent someone to violate her. If there hadn't been a knife in the room at that moment, would she have already been assaulted by that man?
If that knife had been plunged into the man's body, she would now be exposed before everyone, undoubtedly alluring and enchanting. She knew well the potency of the aphrodisiac and dared not imagine what the consequences would be if such a thing truly happened.
Hearing the woman's words, the dazed man slowly turned around, his heart churning like turbulent waves, disrupting his calm demeanor as those fierce waves crashed repeatedly against him.
Struggling to regain his composure, he steadied himself. Upon seeing Ajin lying at his feet, moaning continuously, he furrowed his brow and looked at Mo Xier in confusion. "What is going on?"
Mo Xier coldly regarded him, a sneer curling at her lips, laced with disdain. "You should ask Jiang Wei about that. I was drinking with your sister, but when I woke up, I found myself under the influence of an aphrodisiac and nearly violated. Jiang Wei, can I assume you were aware of this and deliberately sought out Xingchen today?"
"You went to great lengths to get close to us, and now you allow your sister to commit such a vile act against me. What are your intentions?"
The blood on her chest had already stained her clothes red, yet she felt no pain; the deepest hurt was in her heart. For her, the greatest pain was being betrayed by someone she trusted. Ru Er had caused her to languish for a long time.
As for Jiang Wei, although their acquaintance was brief—just over two months—he had always been kind and courteous towards her. When they arrived in Boiling City, he took special care of her, always smiling warmly like a ray of sunshine that warmed her heart.
As soon as Mo Xier finished speaking, the Azure Dragon, Black Robe, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger standing beside Night Star swiftly surrounded Jiang Wei and his group. The Azure Dragon and Black Robe's imposing demeanor dissipated entirely.
When they saw Mo Xier emerge from the room disheveled earlier, they wished they could tear her apart for betraying their master who treated her so well.
However, after hearing what she just said, they suddenly realized that everything was a trap set by the woman who came with Jiang Wei. The Azure Dragon's face darkened significantly; he had sensed something amiss back in Vermilion Bird Kingdom and always felt that Jiang Wei was deliberately getting close to their master. It turned out he was right all along.
But why would he want to frame Miss Mo? What benefit would that bring him?
Night Star, who had remained silent, fixed his cold gaze on Jiang Wei like a chilling sword. He suddenly pulled Mo Xier into his embrace.
"Ah..."
Mo Xier gasped lightly as Night Star's forceful pull aggravated her wound. Only then did Night Star notice her discomfort; his brows furrowed tightly, and his expression darkened like an abyss. His voice was icy, "You're injured?"
Lying weakly in his arms, she nodded slightly. "I was hit by an Aphrodisiac and couldn't muster any internal energy. Fortunately, in a moment of desperation, I found a small knife and stabbed it into my chest to let the blood flow out, which helped me regain some clarity."
Looking at the glaring blood in the darkness, his heart sank suddenly. He recalled the uncontrollable anger he felt upon seeing her earlier, wanting to tear her apart. Yet, the only rational thought forced him to calm down; Mo Xier was not that kind of person.
If he hadn't chosen to believe in Mo Xier at that moment, he would likely regret it for the rest of his life. His voice softened as he disregarded the chaos around them and said to the person in his arms, "We need to see a doctor first."
"No." The woman shook her head, forcing herself up from his embrace and looking toward Jiang Wei. "I need to resolve this matter."
What were they after? Why were they going to such lengths to approach and frame her? What had she done to offend them?
Hearing Mo Xier's words, Jiang Wei's initially shocked expression turned cold. His eyes became as icy as the winter frost as he stared at the woman who had just gotten up from the ground, clutching her body with tears welling in her innocent eyes. His voice was frigid, "What did you do?"
"Brother, I really didn't do anything! You have to believe me!" Tears as big as beans streamed down her cheeks in a straight line, falling slowly onto her delicate face, looking pitiful.
Seeing her tears fall so easily made Mo Xier roll her eyes; it was a pity she wasn't acting professionally. Anger surged within her; it seemed she had approached him with premeditated intent. The hostility she had shown before was not baseless; she truly hated him.
Mo Xier couldn't help but frown. She knew she had no connection with Ajin, yet from their first meeting, there had been a deep-seated hatred in her eyes as if she wanted to carve him into pieces.
With a cold smile at the woman pretending to be innocent, she turned to the expressionless Zhuque and said, "Zhuque, that man is still in the house."
With just one sentence, Zhuque understood her meaning. After spending these days with her, he had already grasped the woman's temperament and immediately turned to walk into the room behind him.
Moments later, he emerged holding the trembling man as if he were a chick.
Mo Xier finally got a clear look at the man's appearance. He appeared to be around forty years old, and his dark face was made even more grotesque by three deep scars. He was plump, and his clothes were stretched tightly over his bulky frame. The fierce expression that had been on his face earlier was gone; he lowered his head, not daring to meet the gaze of the crowd.
It was evident that Zhuque had subjected him to considerable torment when he went inside.
Stepping out from Night Star's embrace, Mo Xier moved lightly, one hand pressed against the blood on his chest, his face resembling frost as he coldly stared at the man. "Who made you do this?"
The man raised his eyes, a flicker of panic crossing them, but he quickly lowered his head again, staring at the cold ground and muttering, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"You better know what I’m talking about, or..." His voice suddenly turned icy. "I will cut off your lifeline."
He shuddered, and the three scars on his face twisted like small snakes, becoming even more eerie against the flesh of his cheeks.
"It was... a woman... who gave me some silver and said that as long as I helped her with this matter, there would be beautiful women for me to enjoy..."
He was just a small-time thug who had reached this age without marrying. He often sought release in brothels, but going to those places required money. Here was something free and promised beautiful women; unable to resist the temptation, he agreed. Little did he know that he had provoked one of Night General's women.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw that woman nestled in Night General's arms and was instantly drenched in cold sweat. Had he known earlier, he would never have dared to take on this task!
Mo Xier nodded slightly and glanced indifferently at the man. "Very well. Take a look; is there anyone here who resembles the lady you mentioned?"
The man's murky eyes scanned the faces in the crowd carefully until they landed on a woman dressed in green. He immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes! It's her!"
"What are you talking about?" As soon as the woman heard the man's words, her tear-streaked face twisted in anger, her eyes shining with intense light. "When did I give you any silver?"
Seeing the woman deny it, the man’s eyes blazed with fury. Fearing that the Night General would direct his wrath at him, he shouted, "You clearly sought me out, and now you refuse to admit it. Are you trying to kill me, you venomous woman?"
"You..." Ajin was about to speak when a cold voice rang in her ears, causing her to tremble involuntarily.
"Is it you?" If after hearing all this he still couldn't figure out what the man was implying, then this prince of Penglai Nation would have been wasting his time.
The woman shifted slightly and then said pitifully, "Brother, our money has always been managed by Afu. Where would I get silver to give him?"
Jiang Wei pondered for a moment, suddenly noticing the woman's empty waist where her jade pendant should be. A chill crept into his heart as he fixed his sharp gaze on her. "Where is your jade pendant?"
"I..." The woman found herself at a loss for words, feeling guilty.
His long fingers suddenly tightened around the woman's pale neck, his voice icy. "Tell me, where is it?"
Looking at the man before her who showed no pity, feelings of grievance, anger, and unwillingness flickered across her beautiful face. The tears on her cheeks had long since dried up as she summoned her inner strength to push away the man gripping her.
Her expression twisted into one of rage and near madness. "So what if I did it? I've been close to the Empress Dowager for over ten years, and you've never looked at me properly. You've always been thinking about your sister. Do you think I don't know that this Mo Xier is your sister?"
"You've gone to great lengths to get close to her just to find evidence that she is your biological sister. And what am I to you? A discarded pawn?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Wei's cold face as his sharp eyes suddenly glinted with intensity, piercing straight through her. "You actually learned martial arts in secret?"
Ajin recalled that when she was brought into the palace, he had explicitly told her not to learn martial arts. Yet here she was, having secretly trained and apparently made significant progress.
If it weren't for today's incident, how long was she planning to hide?
"Yes, all of you discriminate against me, thinking I have taken over what belongs to others, while you have never given up searching for Cloud Pearl. At that time, I secretly learned skills just to kill her before you found her." The woman's gaze was filled with hatred, no longer showing any signs of weakness.
"Haha." Jiang Wei suddenly laughed loudly, and after he had laughed enough, he looked at the woman: "Who gave you the courage? My sister's position is not something you can covet."
She had already known that Mo Xier was Cloud Pearl; no wonder she had shown such deep hatred when she first met Mo Xier.
Even he had never had solid evidence to prove that Mo Xier was Cloud Pearl. If it weren't for today's events, he would have had to put in a lot of effort.
Thinking about what she had done to Cloud Pearl, hatred surged in his heart. If she really had been violated, how would he face the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and Cloud Pearl?
Suddenly turning around, he drew the long sword from Afu's sheath and pressed it directly against Ajin's neck, his voice cold and fierce: "Anyone who harms Cloud Pearl deserves to die." As he spoke, his hand moved, and just as the long sword was about to fall, a figure stepped in front of the woman.
A powerful force struck down the sword in his hand.
The person blocking in front of the woman was Afu, and the strong force came from Night Star.
"Master, I beg you, do not kill Ajin." The honest and kind face was filled with endless pleading.
He didn't know why he had to do this; he only knew that Ajin must not die.
And Night Star acted because their conversation mentioned Mo Xi'er; anything related to Mo Xi'er could not be neglected in the slightest.
