Ayimulan raised her hand and removed the ghostly mask from her face, calmly gazing at ng Qianqian.
ng Qianqian said, "Loulan Queen, I hope you have been well. Mr. Shan, this is your fault. The princess consort cos personally, yet you didn’t inform in advance so I could welco her, making it appear that I’m negligent and rude."
Shan Cheng, standing on the other side of Ayimulan, twirled the Green Flute in his hand and asked, "Do you have any?"
ng Qianqian replied, "I have so to put on the appearance."
Shan Cheng chuckled.
ng Qianqian looked at Ayimulan again, "If the princess consort isn’t staying put in Shanshan City, aren’t you specifically here to see as a hostage? I’m truly flattered."
Ayimulan said, "I know you sent them a ssage, leading them to Shanshan City."
ng Qianqian’s eyes moved slightly, "Ah, I see."
She had never sent a ssage to Lu Yuan and Chen Long.
If Ayimulan said so, it seems Lu Yuan and her brother were already on their way to Shanshan City.
No, knowing Ayimulan’s cautious nature, she wouldn’t easily conclude without absolute certainty.
Could soone genuinely have sent a ssage to Lu Yuan and her brother?
Who could it be?
Ayimulan said, "Your plan is dood to fail because you’re not going to Shanshan City at all!"
ng Qianqian raised an eyebrow, "Oh."
Ayimulan: "Aren’t you curious where I will take you?"
ng Qianqian said, "Not curious."
Ayimulan looked deeply at her, "You people from the Central Plains always speak one way and think another."
ng Qianqian smiled, "That’s called advancing by retreating. I guess you must be eager to tell our real destination now."
"Telling you is no problem."
Ayimulan said, "After all, you can’t send them any ssages now."
ng Qianqian thought to herself, she hadn’t sent one to begin with.
"We’re going to Liuli Island."
Ayimulan stated.
ng Qianqian was secretly startled.
Liuli Island?
Si Snake’s holand?
Why would they go there?
Could it be—
Because of the rumors of the Seven Stars in a Row?
The West Night Saintess would, on the night of the Seven Stars in a Row, bring her grand secret back to Liuli Island.
Zi Shu wants the secret of the West Night Saintess; could it be Ayimulan also desires it?
What could this secret be?
That drives so many people to pursue it relentlessly.
Seeing ng Qianqian silent, Ayimulan asked Shan Cheng, "Didn’t you tell her about the seven-star conjunction rumor?"
Shan Cheng replied, "No, but I guessed she already knew."
Ayimulan said, "If that’s the case, I’ll speak plainly. ng Qianqian, are you willing to assist in becoming the king of the Western Regions?"
"? Support you?"
ng Qianqian blinked, "Don’t you find that question laughable even as you ask it? There’s a deep-seated enmity between us."
Ayimulan said, "The matter with Amushan, you don’t have to take it to heart."
ng Qianqian gave a cold smile.
Amushan?
A re him isn’t even enough as interest for the deep hatred of my whole Shang Family!
"I only ask you one question, will you help ?"
Ayimulan’s gaze was firm, "You don’t need to answer now, I’ll give you ti to consider."
ng Qianqian asked, "What if I refuse?"
Ayimulan said, "Then I’ll have no choice but to kill you."
ng Qianqian sneered, "You won’t kill , you’d have done it long ago. You know full well that I won’t assist you, you’re rely stalling for ti to take to Liuli Island."
Ayimulan’s fingertips trembled slightly.
She said with an unchanged expression, "You’re quite clever, ng Qianqian. My admiration for you is genuine. If you’re willing to support , all past grievances will be settled, and I can offer you the highest status, even becoming the Great Witch of Loulan isn’t without possibility."
"I’m not interested."
After saying that, ng Qianqian stood up and left the tent without turning back.
Mo Yi gripped the knife handle, "An ungrateful woman!"
Shan Cheng laughed, "She’s aware enough not to associate with Loulan."
Mo Yi frowned, "Why not kill her?"
"She cannot die."
Shan Cheng laughed, "She’s more important than you think."
Mo Yi scoffed, "Isn’t she just the one Lu Yuan and Chen Long care about? Her corpse can still control them."
Shan Cheng said with deep aning, "You think the only people we need to restrain are Lu Yuan and Chen Long? She’s the key to the Seven Stars in a Row. Whether we can obtain the West Night Saintess’s secret depends on how we use her to strike a deal with the West Night Saintess."
