Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 167: Demons and Monsters 11

The next morning, after Shangguan Qian left Jiao Palace, he walked all the way to Yu Palace to find Yun Weishan to get the antidote for the Half Moon Fly.

After Shangguan Qian got the antidote, she chuckled, her tone tinged with sarcasm: "Yun Weishan, do you think you can save him? It's just a waste of effort."

Yun Weishan naturally knew that Shangguan Qian was talking about Gong Ziyu. He looked at Shangguan Qian with a firm gaze, not backing down. "I believe that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up."

"But you, being so cruel and ruthless, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Shangguan Qian's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "Retribution? Haha, that's ridiculous. In this world, the strong are king, and only the weak pray for so-called retribution."

Yun Weishan sneered, "You're just making up your own mind! No matter how powerful you are, you can't go against the laws of nature and your conscience."

Shangguan Qian curled her lips in disdain: "Conscience? That's just an excuse for weaklings like you. I only believe in strength. Only with strength can you control everything."

Yun Weishan responded: "Maybe you have great strength now, but you will never win people's hearts."

Shangguan Qian's eyes widened in anger: "People's hearts? I don't need people's hearts, I only need power and status."

Yun Weishan shook his head: "Thinking like this will only make you sink deeper and deeper into despair, and you will end up living alone."

After saying that, Yun Weishan turned around and left, leaving Shangguan Qian standing there, extremely angry.

Shangguan Qian was holding the antidote and preparing to return to Jiao Palace.

On the way, she met Meng Qiqi.

When Meng Qiqi saw Shangguan Qian, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but then she smiled: "Miss Shangguan, where have you been?"

Shangguan Qian sneered in response: "Where am I going? What's it to you?"

Meng Qiqi said revealingly, "I wonder if Miss Shangguan went to look for Miss Yun? It turns out Miss Shangguan is so familiar with Miss Yun."

Shangguan Qian glared at her: "None of your business!"

"Haha, I'm just kindly reminding you that you should not act so obviously unusual when staying at the palace gate. So many things have happened at the palace gate recently, and you walking around with a basket of medicinal herbs is very suspicious." Meng Qiqi said vaguely.

Shangguan Qian was shocked, but remained calm on the surface: "How do you know there are medicinal herbs in the basket and not something else?"

Meng Qiqi chuckled: "The smell of the herbs is so strong that I can smell it if I get a little closer."

After hearing what Meng Qiqi said, Shangguan Qian realized that his actions were too rash.

"Who are you? Why are you helping me?" Shangguan Qian stared at Meng Qiqi sharply.

Meng Qiqi's eyes flickered as she avoided answering: "I just saw that you, a weak woman, were having a hard time navigating this palace, so I wanted to help you."

Shangguan Qian clearly didn't believe it. She stepped forward and pressed him, "Stop pretending! You must have some ulterior motive! Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Meng Qiqi sighed and said helplessly: "I really have no ill intentions, I just simply want to protect you."

Shangguan Qian was even more confused: "Protect me? Why? We don't even know each other..."

Before she could finish her words, Meng Qiqi suddenly leaned close to Shangguan Qian and whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, Shangguan Qian's face changed drastically and his eyes were full of shock.

"I see..." Shangguan Qian murmured to himself, "Okay, I'll believe you for now. But you'd better not lie to me, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Meng Qiqi said with a smile, "If you need any help in the future, just come to me."

After saying that, Meng Qiqi turned and left, leaving Shangguan Qian standing there alone, lost in thought.

Why did Meng Qiqi know that she was an orphan of the Gushan Sect!

Shangguan Qian’s thoughts were pulled back to many years ago.

At that time, the Gushan Sect was still a major sect in the martial arts world and was well-known far and wide.

However, a sudden disaster struck.

Wu Feng led a large number of troops and besieged the Gushan Sect.

The disciples of Gushan Sect rose up to resist, but were ultimately outnumbered and their sect was destroyed.

Shangguan Qian's parents also died in this battle, but she was rescued by a loyal servant who risked his life to save her.

Over the years, Shangguan Qian has been staying with Wufeng. She has also been secretly investigating the truth of that year and vowed to avenge the Gushan Sect.

Now that she knows Meng Qiqi knows her identity, can she trust others again?

Or maybe she believed Meng Qiqi for once, and thought that Meng Qiqi, who was weaker than her, could really lend her a helping hand?

After Shangguan Qian returned to Jiao Palace, she was always absent-minded.

Gong Shangjiao noticed her abnormality and asked with concern if she was in trouble.

Shangguan Qian quickly shook her head and said that she was just a little tired.

Gong Shangjiao believed it and told her to have a good rest.

Shangguan Qian breathed a sigh of relief. She decided to observe for a while to see what Meng Qiqi's purpose was.

At the same time, she also planned to use Meng Qiqi's identity to find clues that would be beneficial to her at the palace gate.

After all, one more person to help means one more hope.

Moreover, the news that Meng Qiqi just revealed did surprise her.

Meng Qiqi, a seemingly weak woman, is actually very scheming and has no fewer tricks than her.

————Zheng Palace.

"Where have you been?"

Gong Yuanzheng saw Meng Qiqi coming back from outside and asked softly.

From his angle, he could just see her long black hair, and her plain clothes made her beautiful face look even whiter, even a sickly pale color.

She tilted her head and smiled at him, her eyes sparkling and beautiful, seeming unreal. Gong Yuanzheng felt as if she would disappear in the next moment.

"You've just recovered from a serious illness, so you need to rest well."

As soon as Gong Yuanzheng finished speaking, he saw tears in her eyes, her little face was wet with tears, and she looked at him with a fragile and helpless look. His heart softened immediately and he couldn't bear to say anything to her.

"I just went out for a walk and some fresh air." Meng Qiqi whispered, "I know Master Zheng is worried about me. I will be more careful next time."

Gong Yuanzheng's worries eased a little after hearing this. He took Meng Qiqi's hand and said gently, "Well, I'm glad you know. If you feel unwell, you must tell me immediately. Don't keep it to yourself."

Meng Qiqi nodded, leaned in Gong Yuanzheng's arms, and felt his warmth.

----

As the morning light shone, Gong Yuanzheng personally put a cloak on Meng Qiqi, carefully adjusting every fold, for fear that the cold wind would blow on her delicate body.

He asked her in a low voice whether she was feeling well or not, and his concerned eyes were so gentle that they seemed to melt the ice.

Meng Qiqi's frail figure strolled in the corridors of the palace, and Gong Yuanzheng was always the first to appear beside her.

He gently put the cloak on her and considerately asked if she needed to rest.

In the garden of Zheng Palace, Gong Yuanzheng and Meng Qiqi walked side by side. His fingers accidentally touched the back of her hand. Their eyes met, and a subtle atmosphere filled the air.

However, Gong Yuanzheng went to the corner office like this every day, and it was obvious that he was in love.
