Shen Wanwan was furious. "You keep pretending, and you're even pretending in front of me. People who don't know you would think you're ignorant of the ways of the world, but you're actually a very cunning person. If you really can't understand me, I can twist my head off and use it as a stone for you to kick!"

Pei Wanwan lowered her eyelids, "Oh, Wanwan, don't take it so seriously. We're girls, and it's so scary to hear you say you're going to twist your head all the time."

Although she couldn't guess it completely, she vaguely felt that she had been exposed, with nothing left.

Shen Wanwan stared at Pei Wanwan and said seriously, "He probably heard everything you and Feiyue said in the dormitory."

She didn't know how good the King of Qin's martial arts were. From the speed at which he and Xie Moxuan took her and Wanyao up the mountain that day, she could tell that they were very skilled. He might even have extraordinary hearing.

Pei Wanwan was silent. This was what she was worried about. She had been worried since she realized that her emotional excitement might cause trouble.

But she still held on to one last glimmer of hope, "Maybe he didn't hear it. Even if he did, I changed my words in time. He would just think he misheard."

"The King of Qin earned his title as the God of War through leading troops in battle. Do you think you can win a battle just by casually strolling around?"

Pei Wanwan lowered her head even more, but her mouth was still holding on to her last stubbornness. "Even so, what does that have to do with this?"

"He came in a hurry, obviously out of worry. Seeing you lying on the ground vomiting blood, he asked Feiyue to take you away, not even hesitating to offend Prime Minister Shen. But in the end, he left quietly. Do you think there's something fishy going on?"

Pei Wanwan nodded repeatedly. "This is indeed something I can't understand. It's too weird. But it's better for them to leave quietly. At least I don't have to face them again, and I don't have to put on a show anymore."

Shen Wanwan sighed, "They might as well stay and talk to you before leaving. At least they can find out what they have guessed. I think the King of Qin knows that we suspect him and our identities, maybe..."

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before continuing, "Perhaps she felt you were too timid and was afraid of scaring you, so she left quietly."

"But I'm not a coward!"

"Maybe, who knows."

"Then what should we do? Should we ask Feiyue to go back to Prince Qin's mansion to find out more?"

Shen Wanwan shook her head. "What are you thinking about? It's too late to say anything now. Feiyue must have been summoned to the Prince of Qin's mansion. Maybe the Prince of Qin is asking about your relationship with the beggar..."

She suddenly shut up and looked at Pei Wanwan, "Maybe we can negotiate terms with King Qin."

Pei Wanwan's eyes widened in horror. "What did you say? We're going to negotiate terms with the King of Qin? Wanwan, are you trying to kill yourself? I can't beat her. If we piss him off, he'll eat us both alive."

Princess Hua'an had repeatedly warned against confronting the King of Qin. No, not to mention confronting him head-on, even soft confrontation would not work. In short, the only thing to do was to get as far away from him as possible, otherwise he would end up with a miserable death!

Shen Wanwan glanced at her and said, "What a great achievement! Where's that heroic act of leaving the blood letter?"

Pei Wanwan fell silent. Why bring this up again?

"Let's go and see if Feiyue is still in the mansion. If she's not, it confirms our suspicions. We can't just sit there and wait for death."

It's not a pleasant feeling to sit and wait to die.

Pei Wanwan flashed out of the space, but Shen Wanwan lowered her eyes and thought. Not long after, Pei Wanwan came back. Seeing her expression, Shen Wanwan's heart sank to the bottom.

"Wanwan, you're absolutely right. Feiyue isn't here. I just asked Chuntao, and she said Feiyue left the house shortly after dark and hasn't returned since."

Pei Wanwan was anxious, "Wanwan, what do you think the King of Qin will do to us if he finds out about our situation?"

"Normally, a grown man like him wouldn't deliberately target us two young girls, but who says we are not ordinary people? If I were the King of Qin, I would definitely use this incident to force us to do things for him..."

Shen Wanwan blinked, "Perhaps, he has already approached Prime Minister Shen to force him to take sides."
