Jūn Qiānxī knew what Wēn Mù was thinking, she just didn't want to say anything.
Her identity was not that of a God's favored/chosen, as Wēn Mù thought.
Therefore, talking about who was favoring her was meaningless.
...
At the same time—
Prince Rui's Estate.
"What did you say? That old scoundrel Jūn Hào wants Jūn Qiānxī to participate in this Great Awakening Day?!" Princess Ruì's Consort sat at the head seat, tightly gripping her teacup.
"Yes, the list has already been submitted," the old housekeeper said with his head bowed respectfully. "Also, Wēn Mù has been frequently visiting the General's Mansion. Last time you said to ignore it, but this time... should we intervene?"
Princess Ruì's Consort frowned. "I know a little about Wēn Mù's Medical Skills. If he could cure that little b*tch, he would have done it long ago, and wouldn't be running to the General's Mansion every day... Have you heard any other whispers?"
The housekeeper replied, "There is indeed some news, but I don't know if it's true or not. It is said that Wēn Mù is not treating Jūn Qiānxī, but teaching her Medical Skills."
Upon hearing this, Princess Ruì's Consort instantly thought of Sikong Ziqin taking on a disciple. Her hand trembled, and the teacup almost fell, but she immediately felt something was wrong. "Hasn't she already been scared senseless? How can a fool learn Medical Skills?"
"This... perhaps Wēn Mù has cured her?"
Princess Ruì's Consort said, "Impossible! Wēn Mù's life attribute is effective for treating injuries, but when it comes to the brain and Spiritual Power, he should be powerless."
Indeed, the brain is too complex, almost the forbidden zone for all physicians, and Spiritual Power... is an even more mysterious realm that humanity has yet to deeply research.
Turning a normal person into a fool only requires crushing their Sea of Consciousness, but turning a fool into a normal person is a fantasy. Let alone Wēn Mù, even a Ninth Order Expert would be useless!
"Therefore, there are two possibilities now: either Wēn Mù teaching her Medical Skills is pure gossip, or Jūn Qiānxī is not actually foolish." Princess Ruì's Consort thought it over and over, a hint of viciousness appearing in her eyes, "She doesn't recognize me, and even if she remembers my appearance, she can't call out my name. For the time being, I'm not afraid of her identifying me as the one who pushed her into the water. But whether this news is true or false, it must be taken seriously. Go to the Blood Pavilion and buy an assassin. This time, we must cut the weeds and remove the roots!"
"Yes." The housekeeper took the order, bowed his head, and retreated.
Princess Ruì's Consort slowly drank her tea, pondered for a moment with lowered eyes, and finally called out, "Zhǐ Yù."
As soon as the words fell, a young man in white quietly appeared before Princess Ruì's Consort.
He wore a snow-white robe, his black hair somewhat messily draped over his shoulders. His skin was like jade, and his features were handsome.
The only imperfection was a white sash tightly binding his eyes.
He, remarkably, could not see.
"..."
Zhǐ Yù remained silent, quietly awaiting Princess Ruì's Consort's command.
"Zhǐ Yù, go and follow the assassin from the Blood Pavilion. If he is useless, you will take action to eliminate Jūn Qiānxī. No matter what, today her life must be taken!" Princess Ruì's Consort's eyes were full of malice. "She must not appear at the Awakening Ceremony tomorrow!"
"Yes."
Zhǐ Yù softly responded, his voice ethereal, as if not of this world. Then, he quietly disappeared again.
Princess Ruì's Consort hooked her lips with satisfaction.
With Zhǐ Yù taking action, she could finally relax.
Whether Jūn Qiānxī was truly foolish or pretending, only the dead could bring true peace of mind!
Therefore, she was better off dead!
Last time she had sunk to the bottom of the lake, yet still survived. What a tenacious life!
This time, she wouldn't be so lucky!
