There was a large burn on Mu Xuanji's right shoulder. His hand holding Ni Yuan dropped weakly, while Mu Yin was half-kneeling on the ground due to the tremor of his armor.
"I lost, you don't need to apologize. I will bear the consequences of breaking off the engagement alone."
He left straight away, as if nothing happened, and Mu Yin was extremely embarrassed and annoyed——
She has never been so humiliated in her whole life! She half-knelt on the ground, but the enemy gave up and left!
"Mu Xuanji!! Do you look down on me?!"
She stood up suddenly, her figure was a little unstable, and the residual force of the attack caused by the inscription formation was still eroding her body——
"You can still fight. I can't lift my arm. I don't have enough time to outline the inscriptions with one hand. You can kill me."
After saying that, Mu Xuanji left. Mu Yin couldn't bear his contempt. She attacked with all her strength, but Mu Xuanji didn't necessarily do so!
The inscription formation is inherently mysterious, but he may not have come up with the strongest combat formation...
The young man left the ring area and hesitated for a moment. The scars on his shoulders were still a little obvious, and he needed to change his clothes——
"Go to the imperial doctor first to deal with it, so that Quanquan won't be sad after seeing it."
Having made a decision, he quickly walked away.
"hateful--!!!!"
Feeling that Mu Xuanji had disappeared, Mu Yin yelled and cursed, and swept across with his spear, leaving the entire arena area in a mess.
"Princess, why are you so angry? Your Highness is unwilling to argue with you. This time, I have no choice but to warn you."
An old man in gray robes with a white beard and silver hair was drinking tea and sitting leisurely in the corner of the collapsing arena.
"Who are you?" Mu Yin was very vigilant. She didn't know when the old man appeared, nor where he appeared from.
"I am a close friend of His Highness. When my son and grandson lost his legs due to the war, Your Highness helped him rebuild his prosthetic limbs with machine skills. Over the years, I have been helping His Highness everywhere. I came to the palace this time to visit, but I didn't
I thought of bumping into the two of them having a discussion."
The old man took another sip of tea. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Mu Yin simply sat down on the ground.
"You said you were his friend, so let me ask you, did Mu Xuanji not use all his strength just now?"
He touched his beard and felt a little sad——
"Princess, do you want to hear the truth or be humble?"
Mu Yin cursed——
"Nonsense! Of course I want to hear the truth!"
The old man drank the tea in one breath, stood up and dusted off his knees.
"Haha, in the battle just now, His Highness only used 50% of his strength. I think the princess has exhausted all her strength, right?"
"He is so strong?!" Mu Yin couldn't believe it, "Then why not defeat me directly?"
"I don't know this very well, but His Highness is kind-hearted, and I guess he doesn't want to hurt you...and His Highness cannot use all his strength at any time. This is a secret, so I am telling you this!"
"Unable to use all his strength? Is it because of his physical condition?"
Mu Yin was even more horrified. If it was because of his physical condition, and she had laughed at him before, his five-point strength was almost equal to hers!
Isn’t this a slap in the face?!
"That's not the case. The wind formation that His Highness used just now is only a mid-level attack formation. It is already at full strength. However, even if His Highness usually uses the inscription pen, he still has to maintain the inscription for a long time and needs to separate his soul. Inscription
The inscription is His Highness's only means of fighting besides puppets. The soul affects the power of the inscription to some extent..."
"Are you saying that he usually needs to dedicate a large number of souls to maintain the inscriptions?" Mu Yin was even more surprised, "But haven't most of the machine puppets heard that the inscriptions can be permanently fixed, even if the efficiency is not as good as long-term soul cultivation, they do not need to be maintained all the time.
!Are you kidding me?"
When she came in from outside Qiandian Palace, she saw many puppets. As for who the owner was, she didn't even have to guess!
"His Highness usually maintains only part of the inscribed puppet to maintain his soul, so the puppet's intelligence is extremely high. However, sometimes His Highness is not nearby at all, and the cost of maintaining it from a long distance is even greater."
The old man doesn't care about revealing these secrets. Others don't know, but he still knows how His Highness feels about this old friend he met many years ago.
It's just that this girl in front of me doesn't understand His Highness at all, and she wastes all His hard work. It's really laughable!
"He fights with me and still has the intention to maintain the puppet inscription in the distance?!"
Mu Yin was completely shocked now. The old man said that Mu Xuanji held back to save her face.
In the end...after knowing the truth, I was still completely humiliated.
This old man was probably not arranged by Mu Xuanji, and Mu Xuanji probably wouldn't be willing to let her know this.
The red-haired woman fell to the ground, a little decadent, and suddenly remembered the puppet she had seen in Mu Xuanji's mansion before -
It is obviously different from the ordinary puppets patrolling outside the palace! It does not simply follow the rules of the inscription setting!
Even when the coercion of her spear was aimed at the mechanical monkeys, fear appeared in the eyes of the bronze puppets!
In other words, most of his strength has been divided into souls to protect and protect the puppets around that girl?!
Seeing that Mu Yin's face was turning red and white, the old man knew that he had said enough. This reckless girl was not a fool. She should be able to make a rough guess. If he talked too much, His Highness might be angry...
However, he and His Highness have been close friends for many years, and he is not willing to let His Highness' reputation be ruined by such reasons. Even if it is only made clear to Mu Yin, it is enough.
Anyway, His Highness just wanted her to suffer. Even though he had fallen in love with her in his early years, a normal person would know who to choose for an old friend who didn't care about him and a sister who was always by his side and loved him extremely.
He didn't give up either. It was her who abandoned him and hurt Mu Yi in turn. It was her fault and it touched his bottom line.
Mu Xuanji can definitely win. As long as he takes the risk to release the second form of Thunder Formation, Mu Yin will definitely lose, but the chance of getting injured is very high.
After all, he is unwilling to hurt her, even if it embarrasses himself!
Mu Yin stopped talking. The old man shook his head and waved. A strong wind blew up, and as if time went back, the arena area returned to the way it was before the two came.
After the old man was gone, the more Mu Yin thought about it, the more something was wrong. She had been marching for many years and had seen through many commanders' conspiracies. This time, she could not see through Mu Xuanji's intentions!
She could win, but she didn't. She was the one who provoked him first, but he didn't care!
But for the sake of his sister, he made a bet that didn’t benefit him at all! It’s unbelievable!
What Mu Yin didn't know was that Mu Xuanji often regarded Mu Ji as much more important than himself.
Not only because her mother had provided him with a lot of help in studying machine skills, but also because of Mu Yi's love and care for him over the years.
It is true that without Mu Ji's mother, there would be no Mu Xuanji today, but without Mu Ji, today's Mu Xuanji would not have true humanity.
The people of Gong Wei are unpredictable. Mu Xuanji has not been taken seriously since he was a child. He is very wary of everyone. Over the years, many people who have followed him have betrayed him. If Mu Ji hadn't been by his side to comfort him and heal him, he would have been very cautious.
It’s hard to imagine what it will look like.
Even if it means risking his life, he won't care, let alone such an insignificant face?
"Your Highness, how did you do this?!"
Mu Xuanji walked into the gate of the Imperial Hospital with an indifferent expression. The oldest imperial doctor was so frightened that he jumped out of the nanmu recliner and rushed to him in three steps at a time.
The burns on his shoulders were very shocking. Even though his expression was very calm, the cold sweat on his body couldn't be deceiving!
"It's best if you don't ask, just help cover it up."
Mu Xuanji was helped by the old doctor to sit down on a chair. The doctor scolded him repeatedly——
"You are a body of ten thousand gold! Even though the burns will not show traces after a while, you can't mess with them! Last time, you transferred all the spiritual springs from other countries to express their gratitude to you and gave them to the Yukun envoy. Now you are injured.
I can only cultivate slowly! It’s not worth it!”
The young man smiled bitterly, a little embarrassed - his eyes flashed with inferiority:
"After all, Quanquan injured someone, so I can't just give him nothing and get more benefits from him. He will definitely say something good in front of the Emperor Yukun. We need to maintain our diplomatic relations. Even if she is the only one to break off the engagement this time,
I don’t want to, but if I were good enough and satisfied her, I wouldn’t get into this situation..."
The old doctor was just a bit irritated. He was a generation older than the king of Qiandui. He had been responsible for the health of Mu Xuanji, Mu Ji and other royal children since childhood.
But among the royal family, except for the quirky Mu Ji, only Mu Xuanji took good care of his old bones, and also developed many medical institutions to provide free subsidies to Tai Hospital.
The old man didn't have any other wishes. Mu Xuanji knew that he had devoted his life to medicine, so he simply studied for a long time and developed a special puppet to help the old doctor do his work, which was exactly what he liked.
In front of this old doctor, he, the other royal family members, all called themselves "princes". Only Mu Xuanji and Mu Ji called themselves juniors.
He also likes Mu Yi very much. The child is simple-minded and treats others well when others treat her well. From time to time, she is bullied outside and gets bruises all over her body.
The little girl didn't dare to let her brother see her, so she carefully brought a lot of carefully forged medical tools, and a cat specially came to him to bandage and apply medicine. When she was acting like a baby, she called out "Grandpa" and the old man's heart melted. Not to mention how cute it was!
He has no descendants at his age, and these two children are very kind to him, so naturally he feels a little more relaxed.
Last time he took away all the spiritual springs stored in the Imperial Hospital. The old doctor didn't approve of it. Now that he is injured and there is no magic medicine to treat it, he still has to suffer a lot if he follows the steps!
"Hmph! It was Mu Yin who was blinded! Your Highness is such an amazing and talented person. Looking at the entire spiritual world, he is a good husband that can only be found in a lifetime. No other royal daughter can ask for a wife if she wants to marry her. It is still an honor to get her turn! There is no way that Your Highness is unworthy.
Say it!"
The old man thought about it again and felt more and more sorry for Mu Xuanji——
"When you were a child, you specifically asked me to help her get medicine, but she didn't know about it at all. She even forgot about the agreement she made with you. It's okay not to want such a woman! Your Highness, there is no need to feel sorry, and there is no need for this.
Ashamed!”
The young man shook his head, looking sad——
"It's not what you think. She...suffered a serious head injury at that time. It's normal for her to forget about me. But it's just me who kept a one-sided agreement for so long, and was rejected firmly in the end..."
