In the Sea of Unforeseen Calamities.
Zhao Shuning had stayed with Yan Ruyu for nearly seven days.
During these seven days.
Whenever she got the chance, she would cook for Yan Ruyu.
At first, Yan Ruyu was a bit resistant to this.
But finally, unable to withstand Zhao Shuning's persistent coaxing, after reluctantly having two meals, he began to like the food cooked by Zhao Shuning.
Actually, before.
Zhao Shuning didn't know how to cook. It was after she went to Loulan that Mo Yan liked to eat fish.
There was always fish on the dining table.
After eating it so often, Zhao Shuning learned how to cook it.
The seven - day time seemed both short and long.
During these seven days, Zhao Shuning saw a different Master.
Sometimes they would talk to each other. Although most of the time, it was Zhao Shuning who was talking and Yan Ruyu who was listening.
But later, Yan Ruyu would also express his own opinions and correct some of Zhao Shuning's mistakes.
On the seventh day.
Zhao Shuning's injury had almost healed.
She walked out of the bamboo house.
She didn't see Yan Ruyu.
But she saw another person - Mo Yan.
He stood opposite Zhao Shuning.
Just quietly looking at her like this.
Last time, after learning that the forehead ornament he gave her was used to monitor her, Zhao Shuning didn't take the initiative to contact him anymore.
Now, that incident still had an impact on her. So at this moment, when she saw Mo Yan, there was not a trace of joy on her face.
"I sent you videos, but you didn't watch any of them."
Zhao Shuning didn't say a word.
"Even the letters I wrote to you, you didn't reply to any of them."
"Qiuqiu, you are trying to avoid me, aren't you?"
"I'm not avoiding you."
Zhao Shuning spoke up to explain.
Anyway, it was Mo Yan who had raised her for eighteen years. Although Mo Yan was not very kind most of the time, he had taken good care of Zhao Shuning.
"You've forgotten what you promised me."
"I haven't forgotten. I said I would try my best to protect Loulan, and I won't go back on my word."
Mo Yan's eyes were a bit terrifying at this moment.
He said, "Then what have you done in these three months? Why is Luo Feiyan still alive?"
Zhao Shuning felt panicked.
"Did you see her? What did you do to her?"
Disappointment appeared on Mo Yan's face.
The first thing she thought of was not how to explain to him, but to question him about what he had done to Luo Feiyan.
"I did want to kill her."
But at the moment when Mo Yan was about to take action, he began to be afraid.
If he killed Luo Feiyan, would Qiuqiu never talk to him again in this lifetime?
So, he didn't take action.
"What did you do to her? Lord Mo Yan, you can't kill her. You don't know, she is actually—"
"Qiuqiu, I've been good to you."
Zhao Shuning stopped.
"But this is how you treat me."
Zhao Shuning said, "How have I treated you?"
"I've seen the intimate scenes between you and that man."
Intimate scenes?
With whom?
Master?
What's so intimate about them? Oh, he must be talking about the time when she secretly kissed Master.
But what did her business have to do with Lord Mo Yan?
"Qiuqiu, I've said that you are a person of Loulan and my woman."
Zhao Shuning angrily retorted, "Lord Mo Yan, you may have some misunderstandings about me. I've never had any special feelings for you."
Bloodshot eyes appeared in Mo Yan's eyes.
He clenched his fists, and the veins on them bulged.
He took three steps closer to Zhao Shuning.
Zhao Shuning was frightened by Mo Yan and nervously took four or five steps back.
"You're afraid of me?"
A hurt expression appeared on Mo Yan's face.
"You're actually afraid of me? Why are you afraid of me? Qiuqiu, I'm the only one in this world who is truly kind to you. It was me who watched you grow from a baby in swaddling clothes to what you are now."
Facing Mo Yan's madness.
Zhao Shuning took another step back.
"Lord Mo Yan, I'm extremely grateful for your upbringing, but I really don't have any romantic feelings for you. I'll make this clear to you now."
Mo Yan stopped in his tracks.
"I don't believe it."
"Qiuqiu, now I won't believe anything you say."
"You've just been away for too long. I've indulged you too much. That's why once you come into contact with the outside world, you're blinded by those people out there."
Disgust appeared in Zhao Shuning's eyes.
"Mo Yan, what you have for me is just a desire for control and possession. I'm a living person, not your doll, and even less a tool in your hand. You can't control me."
Mo Yan took out a pair of woolen gloves from somewhere.
He threw them in front of Zhao Shuning.
Seeing the familiar thing, Zhao Shuning immediately picked it up.
"What did you do to her?"
The real Luo Qiu mustn't have anything happen to her. If something happened to her, how could she go back?
Moreover, such a kind - hearted girl had done nothing wrong. She shouldn't be punished by that so - called fate.
"Don't you want to see her? If you want to save her, then come back to Loulan with me, okay?"
Mo Yan grabbed Zhao Shuning's arm.
Zhao Shuning couldn't break free for a moment.
Mo Yan's spiritual power and mental strength made him the leader of Loulan, which meant that he was the most powerful person in Loulan.
"Lord Mo Yan, let go of me."
"Qiuqiu, come back with me."
Zhao Shuning said, "Tell me first, have you done anything to her?"
"For now, she's still alive."
Mo Yan then said, "But if you don't go back with me, then there's no need for her to live anymore."
"Mo Yan, she's innocent!"
"In my eyes, no one is innocent! If she's innocent, am I not? Qiuqiu, you're the predestined daughter of Loulan. You should care about the people of Loulan, instead of opposing me everywhere for a girl from the hostile country of Ruoqiang."
Zhao Shuning felt a headache.
She looked at Mo Yan.
The person who used to be so warm now made her feel scared.
"Mo Yan, I'm not Luo Qiu."
Hearing this inexplicable words, the black - clothed man's hand suddenly froze in mid - air.
Zhao Shuning quickly broke free from Mo Yan's restraint.
Seeing Mo Yan's expression.
Zhao Shuning said again, "Mo Yan, you can't kill that girl, because she is the real Luo Qiu. You took the wrong person when you snatched me back then. I'm actually Luo Feiyan."
"You're talking nonsense. Who taught you to make up such nonsense?"
Zhao Shuning took off half of her clothes. There was no Loulan mark behind her fragrant shoulder.
Mo Yan was stunned.
"This is the evidence. If you don't believe it, you can go and check the girl you captured. There is a Loulan mark on her back."
"But when you first came to Loulan, I checked. It was clearly—"
Zhao Shuning took out three pear - blossom needles.
"Because Luo Qiu's biological mother poisoned me in order to keep Luo Qiu by her side. That poison could erase the mark on my forehead and make some allergic scratches appear on my back. That's not a mark."
How could it be possible?
"I don't believe it! I say you are, so you are. I don't care if you're Luo Feiyan or Luo Qiu. You must come back to Loulan with me!"
Mo Yan was possessed.
His eyes turned blood - red.
One hand tightly grabbed Zhao Shuning's hand.
At this moment, a fair and slender hand suddenly appeared on Mo Yan's hand.
It gently moved down and removed Mo Yan's brute force.
The blue - robed man exerted a little force, and Zhao Shuning immediately stood behind him.
"My disciple, how can others touch her at will."
