Chapter 191 Martial Arts Arena, Mo Bai Arrives Late
Shangguan Qingqi turned around and saw Su Mowan standing there with a conflicted expression.
"what happened?"
Su Mowan swallowed hard again: "Were you talking about me just now?"
"If it's not you, then who else could it be?"
Shangguan Qingqi glanced at her, then suddenly realized something, blinked and said, "Don't worry, even though you forcibly kissed me, I won't make you take responsibility."
"..."
This isn't a question of being responsible or not.
The original owner was an absolutely amazing person! Su Mowan already thought she was unconventional enough, but she didn't expect the original owner to be even more outrageous than her!
Su Mowan's lips twitched, and she stepped forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with Shangguan Qingqi.
She struggled, "I mean, could you have mistaken me for someone else? And, did I really do what happened with Shen Muyao?"
"Isn't it you who did it? I never thought that the former little tyrant of the capital would actually reform. I couldn't believe it at first."
As Shangguan Qingqi spoke, he showed a rather regretful expression.
Su Mowan was completely bewildered.
After a long while, she gave an awkward laugh.
"Hehe... A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories. It's been so many years, I don't even remember it!"
Shangguan Qingqi turned to look at her and pursed his lips.
"Stop pretending. What hero doesn't reminisce about past glories? If you remembered them, you wouldn't look like this. When I heard you had a brain injury from a fall, I didn't quite believe it. But when you didn't even recognize me when we met, I really believed it."
Su Mowan blinked, then suddenly understood.
When she first transmigrated, she was lying by a mountain stream, next to a dead horse, its death quite gruesome.
So it can also be understood that she fell into the ravine and damaged her brain.
Su Mowan glanced at Shangguan Qingqi twice, then frowned and asked, "Did I really know you when I was a child?"
Shangguan Qingqi frowned his handsome brows.
He thought for a moment and said, "I guess you don't know me, but I do know you, and I must be the most handsome man you've ever seen, otherwise why would I be so impatient at such a young age?"
"..."
Su Mowan cleared her throat.
She said somewhat awkwardly, "Then do you know why I beat up Shen Muyao that day?"
"Well, it seems that Shen Muyao stole something from you, and then you two started arguing, and then you blindfolded him and started fighting."
Shangguan Qingqi looked at him with admiration and laughed, "It's fortunate that I didn't take advantage of my good looks to speak up for Shen Muyao back then, otherwise my face would have been a waste."
Seeing that he was getting to the point, Su Mowan asked again, "Then why did I treat you like that back then? You didn't provoke me, why would I..."
Speaking of this, Shangguan Qingqi forced a slightly aggrieved expression.
"I was just standing on the sidelines watching the commotion, and I fell victim to your evil deeds. If I had gone up to help, I might have lost my virginity."
"..."
My goodness, the original owner was too ruthless.
Seven years old...
Was Shangguan Qingqi ten years old at that time?
That's incredibly ruthless!
Su Mowan's self-esteem has now reached a new level. Compared to the original owner of this body, who would casually hit people and forcibly kiss a handsome young boy, she's practically a model citizen!
"Hehe, hehe... The past is too painful to recall."
Su Mowan suddenly realized that the original owner had offended a large group of people, and they might hold her accountable for it!
The thought of walking down the street and possibly getting a beating with a sack over her head sent shivers down Su Mowan's spine.
Seeing that she was dawdling, Shangguan Qingqi reached out and pulled her along: "Although I'm the last one to go, we still need to hurry up and see what level the people ahead of us are at, so we can know our opponents and ourselves."
Su Mowan was still lamenting her fate and didn't react, but Shangguan Qingqi pulled her to quicken her pace.
Following behind, Yinshuang watched as Shangguan Qingqi pulled Su Mowan's hand. Her eyes flashed, and she was torn between going forward to remind him or going back to complain.
After much deliberation, it became clear that the latter option was not feasible, and regarding the former, Yinshuang looked over and saw that Shangguan Qingqi had already released the person.
We've already arrived at the training ground.
In the center of the training ground was a tall arena, and in front of the arena stood a row of examiners, with a canopy erected above their heads for shade.
Sitting in the very center, and the most eye-catching person in the crowd, was none other than His Highness Prince Qin, Murong Jing.
Su Mowan's gaze swept over casually, but Murong Jing's gaze also swept over.
Two paths met in mid-air, separated by a sea of people.
This feeling isn't about sparks flying, but it's inexplicably captivating.
Su Mowan didn't come to her senses until someone tugged at her arm.
Shangguan Qingqi's dissatisfied voice came from beside him.
"Hey, hey, hey, can't you be a little more discreet in broad daylight? You're a man now, what do you mean by flirting with another man in front of everyone? Besides, I'm here, aren't I? Wouldn't it be much more pleasant to look at me than at that other guy?"
"That's true."
Su Mowan smiled and followed Shangguan Qingqi into the crowd.
Yinshuang, standing behind, silently sympathized with her own prince. Consort Su had been out with another man in broad daylight, and her prince had just happened to see it.
On the examiners' panel, His Highness the Prince of Qin's expression was indeed not good.
Others might not be able to tell, but the Minister of War and Su Yuandao, who were nearby, could clearly feel that His Highness Prince Qin's aura had suddenly turned much colder.
The training ground was large, and the arena was also quite big. Seats were set up around the arena, though the number was limited.
As the only son of the Right Chancellor and a popular candidate for the top martial arts champion, Shangguan Qingqi naturally had a place reserved for him.
Amidst the envious or jealous gazes of the onlookers, Su Mowan followed Shangguan Qingqi inside and sat down in the central seat on the west side of the martial arts arena.
Shangguan Qingqi's arrival naturally attracted a lot of attention.
As a result, Su Mowan felt countless gazes falling on her, some curious, some disdainful, and some contemptuous.
She had expected this long ago.
When Su Mowan overheard that conversation in the private room of the restaurant yesterday, she had already anticipated this situation.
She straightened her back without a care, opened her folding fan, and began to fan herself leisurely, a beautiful curve appearing at the corner of her lips.
People started whispering among themselves.
Su Mowan was far away and didn't know what they were talking about, but Shangguan Qingqi suddenly leaned closer and said, "Wow, you're wearing a mask and you've already overshadowed me."
There was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.
Su Mowan glanced at him, puzzled, and covered half her face with her folding fan, asking quietly, "What do you mean by that?"
"Some people say you're good-looking, even better-looking than me." The tone was sarcastic.
"..."
Su Mowan cleared her throat.
Just as he was about to feel smug, he was afraid that Shangguan Qingqi would go on and on, so he could only say very modestly, "Not at all, I was wearing a mask, how would they know if I looked good or not? They were just gossiping, they really can't compare to you."
Shangguan Qingqi seemed to be angered by these words and glared at her fiercely.
"What kind of mask is this? If you're so capable, make a mask that can cover your entire face!"
What kind of illness is this?
Su Mowan glared back.
"Alright, enough nonsense. I'm Young Master Mo now, so I have to play dumb. If you keep babbling on, I'll give myself away."
She suddenly became serious, and her aura changed.
Shangguan Qingqi reluctantly shut his mouth and moved it away a little.
The two were exasperated by their intimate whispering, which caught the attention of many people, and the discussions among them were endless.
Murong Jing, sitting in the superior position, also saw everything clearly.
His eyes immediately darkened, and he gripped the teacup in his hand so tightly that it almost cracked.
Feng Yue, who was behind him, realized something was wrong and quickly stepped forward: "Master, let me refill your tea."
That's how the poor teacup was saved.
The two are fighting on the ring.
Su Mowan glanced around and saw no one she recognized. So she scanned her surroundings and, after scanning half of the area, spotted Su Ruofeng in a red and white outfit in the north-east direction.
Not far from Su Ruofeng, Fu Changge sat leisurely with a playboy look on his face.
Fu Changge would occasionally send Su Ruofeng a provocative look, but Su Ruofeng ignored it.
It seems that neither of them has taken the stage yet.
Su Mowan then scanned the remaining half of the circle and found Xue Ting sitting directly opposite her, separated by the ring.
Xue Ting guessed that the two people sparring in the stands were looking at each other when their eyes met. She paused for a moment, then politely nodded at her.
Su Mowan curled her lips into a smile, looked away and continued scanning, then noticed that Shen Muyao was sitting not far to her right.
He was watching the fight on the stage with great concentration.
Just then, the crowd suddenly erupted in commotion.
Su Mowan turned her head curiously and saw a person dressed in white, with exquisite features, gracefully approaching from behind the crowd.
Su Mobai, Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.
He was extremely dazzling in the sunlight.
Before Su Mowan could even marvel at the commotion her brother's appearance had caused, she heard Shangguan Qingqi's sour voice beside her.
"Tsk tsk tsk, quite the show of force. Even the King of Qin, as the chief examiner, arrived long ago. How dare Su Mobai, a mere examiner, be late? Isn't this deliberately disrespecting the King of Qin?"
Su Mowan scoffed at him softly.
"You're just jealous, jealous that my brother is better looking than you, jealous that my brother is more popular than you, jealous that my brother has a strong presence."
"Tch, why would I be jealous of him? He looks neither male nor female, just like me."
As Shangguan Qingqi said this, his eyes never left Su Mobai's approaching figure.
Su Mobai spotted Su Mowan in the crowd at a glance.
He smiled at Su Mowan, his smile as gentle as a clear breeze and a bright moon, captivating all who beheld him.
Of course, it wasn't Su Mowan who was drunk, but rather the people sitting or standing near her.
This one-sided interaction caused another uproar.
The person most unhappy in the entire training ground was not Shangguan Qingqi, but Murong Jing.
Seeing his master casting a disapproving glance at Su Mobai, Feng Yue was speechless and facepalmed.
Consort Su is the younger sister of Vice Minister Su. What's wrong with siblings smiling at each other? If Your Majesty is even jealous of this, you'll be so jealous you'll break your teeth sooner or later!
