Mu Yao’s pupils contracted.
Her eyes narrowed, and she sheathed his sword from the air before landing on the ground.
The invisibility spell wouldn’t last for much longer. Besides, Mu Yao had used up almost all of her energy in that move just now, causing the elixir to weaken.
Gradually, she stepped out and appeared in front of the men in black.
All of a sudden, a woman in a green dress appeared in front of everyone with a silver sword in her right hand, looking valiant and fearless.
She remarked blandly, “Boss? You’ve sacrificed so many of your brothers’ lives just to get me to show up? You’re really ambitious.”
At the same time, the men in black who were surrounding her saw that the ghostly being they had feared so much earlier was actually a woman. They were both shocked and ashamed at the same time!
The men in black started to shout, “Demoness! You’re finally here. You’re done for! Do you know who our boss is? If he catches you, you’ll die!”
“That’s right! Alright, there are so many of us. I was wondering what it was. You’re just a woman, yet you’re still acting mysterious here. How ridiculous!”
“That’s right, brothers. We can’t let this woman off today, can we?”
“Boss, you must take revenge for our dead brothers!”
Just then, the person holding the knife to Zichun and Zimo’s necks showed up.
Right after Mu Yao finished her sentence, she saw the true face of their boss.
It was…
Her half-sister whom she had grown up with—Xia He, who was also the daughter of Xia Guoyong’s wife, Qin Yu!
Xia He and Mu Yao were both shocked when their gazes met!
“Xia He… why is it you?” Mu Yao questioned.
“Mu Yao, you’re still alive? How is that possible?!”
Mu Yao was shocked. The situation seemed incredulous. Her younger sister, who had grown up with her, was now holding a knife to the neck of her children. Her younger sister was even threatening her and helping her enemy.
How could it be Xia He?
Later on, she recalled that Xia Guoyong was the Imperial Preceptor. Furthermore, when Xia Guoyong was young, he often sacrificed his children with aptitude to the priest Tianxiang and the Tianlong Temple.
With that thought in mind, she roughly understood that Xia He was representing the priest, Tianxiang, at this moment.
In that case, everything made sense.
Xu Wen and the sorcerer were already on the same side, controlling the entire Sky Dragon Kingdom. Moreover, they had thousands of people like Xia He working for them mindlessly.
Mu Yao knew that her younger half-sister wasn’t a violent person. Neither was she someone who couldn’t tell right from wrong.
She was a good girl who could clearly distinguish between good and evil. She was also Qin Yu’s beloved daughter.
Qin Yu had never been biased toward them…
With that in mind, Mu Yao gradually drifted into her memories.
Back then, in the Imperial Preceptor’s residence.
At that time, she was still young and still learning to speak.
She was playing with a kite in the yard while Qin Yu watched from behind her, when she suddenly tripped over the kite line. Naturally, she fell into the mud and started wailing.
Then, Qin Yu looked at Mu Yao with a doting expression and said with a smile, “Even after playing so many times, you still get tripped by the rope all the time. You have to be careful. Get up quickly.” Qin Yu was carrying Xia He as she said so. .
At that time, Mu Yao was such a delicate girl that she wouldn’t have gotten up without her mother’s help.
Even if she could have gotten up without any help, she couldn’t help but wail at the sight of her mother hugging her sister, Xia He.
Her cries were pitiable, and there was snot and tears all over her face.
Seeing this, Qin Yu shook her head helplessly and said with a smile, “I can’t believe you’re still jealous over your sister. Alright, I’m coming.”
Then, Qin Yu put down Xia He and placed her in a safer place.
At that time, Xia He had only just learned how to walk. The moment her mother placed her on the ground, the little toddler immediately started wailing.
Seeing that her sister was crying, Mu Yao didn’t back down and cried even harder!
At that age, it was only natural for children to fight for their parents’ love.
Neither of the two children backed down, and the entire courtyard was filled with cries.
Qin Yu turned back to look at Xia He before looking at Mu Yao who was not far ahead. She smiled helplessly. “You two little children really know how to make trouble for me!”
She then went back to carry Xia He.
Because Xia He was younger, Qin Yu carried her up first.
However, Mu Yao had no idea about all that. She was devastated to see her mother dote on her younger sister more than herself!
Just as she was about to cry even louder, Qin Yu had already turned around. Then, she held her breath and slowly squatted down. With her other hand, she picked up Mu Yao.
In her left hand was Xia He, and in her right was Mu Yao.
Then, Qin Yu struggled to get up, her face instantly turning red. She looked at the two little kids who had stopped crying and instantly smiled. “You two naughty brats. I’m not biased.. I love you both equally!”
