Chapitre 159: Red Lotus 'Ambush

However, Mo Qi's expression was filled with terror as he stepped back." Your Highness is not here, but the sword... Miss Su, you can hold onto it and return it to Your Highness tomorrow."

The blade still bore traces of unwashed blood.

Su Yingxue didn't understand why Mo Qi's eyes were so fearful, but she glanced at the sword and indeed, it was stained!

If she were to return it, she should at least clean and polish it before doing so.

Wouldn't it be impolite otherwise?

"On the eastern side of the Upper Forest Court, there's a spring. Miss Su can go there to clean the sword," Mo Qi kindly offered a location.

Su Yingxue smiled." Thank you!"

Just as she was about to leave, Mo Qi let out a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, she turned back with the sword, and Mo Qi's heart jumped to his throat." Miss Su, what's the matter now?"

"Why are you so frightened of me?" Su Yingxue had been wondering about this since earlier.
