"Lord Mo, you are too polite. It was just a minor farce, I never took it to heart. Situ Reading 520 Official Website

Mu Bei said.

"Sir, your magnanimity is greatly appreciated!"

Mo Qianyuan's face lit up with joy, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, under the direction of the girl in the white dress, a group of beautiful maidservants presented one dish after another, all rare delicacies.

"These are just simple dishes, I hope you will not find them lacking."

The girl smiled.

"Princess Yueyao, you jest. If these are simple dishes, what we usually eat with Yi Yi must be nothing but slop."

During their casual conversation, Mu Bei had already learned the girl's specific identity: the daughter of the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Empire, Qin Yueyao.

"Sir, you are too modest." Qin Yueyao was warm and generous: "Please, help yourself."

"Not in a hurry." Mu Bei said: "Let's first perform the acupuncture for Old Master Ning."

The acupuncture technique he had learned from the Mystical World Pharmacopoeia.

The silver needles were already prepared. He took out nine needles and, with smooth movements, inserted them into nine key acupoints on Old Master Ning.

"Focus your qi."

He said.

Old Master Ning closed his eyes slightly and followed Mu Bei's instructions. After about ten breaths, he opened his eyes again, a bright light shining in them.

"Thank you, Sir!"

He stood up and bowed to Mu Bei in gratitude.

After the incident at Wanbao Hall, although he was no longer in danger of losing his life, he had been experiencing a persistent dull pain in his chest.

This time, as Mu Bei performed the acupuncture, that dull pain disappeared completely.

Mu Bei smiled: "It's my duty."

The delicious dishes were laid out, and the aged wine emitted a fragrant aroma. Although Mu Bei had never tasted them before, he remained calm and composed.

Mu Yi Yi, on the other hand, was slightly more reserved, after all, a princess was sitting right in front of her.

Qin Yueyao smiled warmly and repeatedly served her dishes, being very warm and affectionate.

An hour passed quickly, and the banquet was nearing its end. Mu Bei bid farewell to Qin Yueyao, preparing to leave with Mu Yi Yi.

"Old Master Ning and I will also return to the capital city tomorrow. When you visit the capital city in the future, please be sure to let me know so that I can show you around."

Qin Yueyao stood up and said.

She believed that with Mu Bei's abilities, it would not be long before he would step into the capital city.

After saying this, she walked to Mu Yi Yi, took off the jade hairpin from her head, and handed it to Mu Yi Yi.

"Sister Yi Yi, it's our first meeting, and I don't have much to offer. This hairpin has been with me for a long time, so I will give it to you as a gift. When you visit the capital city in the future, I will prepare a proper gift for you."

The hairpin was a deep blue, crystal clear, and intricately carved with a phoenix, lifelike and vivid.

Seeing this blue hairpin, Mo Qianyuan's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

He knew this hairpin; it was not something insignificant. It was crafted by a famous artisan in the capital city! If priced on the market, it would be worth at least 50,000 taels!

Old Master Ning nodded secretly.

From what he had seen and heard at the Xuanzi Pavilion, Mu Yi Yi was clearly very important to Mu Bei. Qin Yueyao had served her dishes multiple times and now presented her with this blue hairpin, clearly recognizing this and trying to get closer to Mu Bei through Mu Yi Yi. Her thoughts were meticulous and perceptive, and he was very pleased.

"This... I can't accept it! I can't accept it!"

Mu Yi Yi waved her hands, knowing that this blue hairpin was very valuable. She felt it was inappropriate to accept it without doing anything in return.

"Do you not like it? That's right, this hairpin is indeed ordinary. When I return to the city tomorrow, I will have someone choose a better one and send it to you as quickly as possible."

Qin Yueyao said with a feigned apology.

Mu Yi Yi hurriedly said: "No, that's not what I meant! This hairpin is very nice, I really like it! But I..."

"If you like it, then accept it. If you like it but don't accept it, it would only mean you are rejecting it because it has been worn. If that's the case, I would be very embarrassed."

"No, I..."

Mu Yi Yi was at a loss and looked to Mu Bei for help.

"Princess, if you like it, accept it with gratitude."

Mu Bei smiled.

Mu Yi Yi then accepted it, earnestly thanking Qin Yueyao: "Thank you, Princess."

"Calling me Princess is too formal. If you don't mind, you can call me sister."

Qin Yueyao was very warm.

"Sis... Sister."

Mu Yi Yi said softly.

"Good girl!" Qin Yueyao said happily: "Come, let me put this hairpin in your hair."

She personally inserted the hairpin into Mu Yi Yi's hair.

The beauty was like jade, her hair like a waterfall, and with this blue phoenix hairpin, the already very beautiful Mu Yi Yi now exuded an additional aura of grace, like a celestial being descended from the heavens, stunningly beautiful.

Qin Yueyao couldn't help but be momentarily stunned, murmuring: "So beautiful!"

Mu Bei's eyes also flickered with a smile.

The saying "a person is dressed by their clothes, a horse by its saddle" indeed had some truth to it. With this blue phoenix hairpin, Mu Yi Yi was clearly even more beautiful, exuding an ethereal quality.

"Brother, how do I look?"

Mu Yi Yi looked at Mu Bei, her small hands clasped together, her face filled with anticipation.

"More beautiful than a fairy!"

Mu Bei praised.

Being praised so openly by Mu Bei, Mu Yi Yi was instantly overjoyed.

Mu Bei chuckled, looking at Qin Yueyao: "Thank you, Princess, for the gift. If you need any help in the future, I will do my best."

Qin Yueyao's kindness to Mu Yi Yi was clear to him; she wanted to use Mu Yi Yi as a way to get closer to him.

He did not object to this.

Hearing Mu Bei's words, Qin Yueyao felt a surge of excitement. Using Mu Yi Yi as a starting point was indeed the right move!

"Sir, you are too polite."

She smiled.

Mu Bei nodded, bid farewell again, and left with Mu Yi Yi.

The streets were less crowded than usual. Mu Yi Yi held onto Mu Bei with one hand and played with the blue phoenix hairpin on her head, clearly very fond of it.

After a while, she turned her attention to Mu Bei, her face showing a hint of surprise: "Brother, do you actually know medical techniques?"

"A little."

Mu Bei smiled.

"Just a little?" Mu Yi Yi was skeptical: "It didn't look like it, you seemed very skilled!"

Mu Bei pinched her little nose: "Just the basics."

"Annoying! Not telling me, being mysterious!"

Mu Yi Yi pouted.

As she said this, she moved closer to Mu Bei, resting her head on his shoulder, saying: "Brother, I'm so happy today!"

"Because of the jade hairpin?"

"Of course not!"

"Then why?"

"I saw the most beautiful double standard today!"

Mu Yi Yi said. Inside the Xuanzi Pavilion, Mu Bei's words to Wang Huaxing, "She can insult you, but you cannot insult her," made her heart sweet.
