Seeing her weird expression, Xiao Qingqian was in an extremely good mood.
He pinched her nose. "No pain at all?"
It was unknown whether it was because he always asked her if she no longer hurt for another reason or if it was a normal sentence but when Wei Qing heard it, her face actually flushed red.
"Why is his face so red?"
Wei Qing pinched her thigh, "What do you think?"
He smiled. He could tell at a glance that she was thinking of something else.
After two more days of nurturing, the great talent competition between the four nations officially began.
The first day of the competition was between the Dancing and Zither Techniques of the female group. Wei Qing, as the spectator, sat with Xiao Qingqian on the seat of the North, stretching his neck and looking down.
"I didn't see Tian Sisi!" Wei Qing frowned.
"You want to see her that much?" Xiao Qingqian asked with his mouth stretched tight.
Wei Qing pursed her lips, "I was purely afraid that she would cause trouble."
The Old Emperor, the Queen and the empress dowager sat in the middle, while the rest of the guests were respectively Chu Yin and He Yue from the Southern Kingdom, Long Xiaotian and Duke Fu Wei from the Xie Jing, as well as Felerol.
Long Xiaotian had been faintly discernable this whole time as he stared at Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian, his venomous, sinister gaze causing Wei Qing to feel uneasy in her heart.
Xiao Qingqian held her hand, "Let's focus on watching the performance below the stage. The dance for the four nations' competition is truly a consummate technique!"
Wei Qing forced herself to ignore Long Xiaotian's gaze, and looked down the stage with interest.
This dance and music competition used the PK system. The drawing of lots would decide who the opponent was. The winner could fight in the next match, while the loser had to fight in the next match, eliminating five opponents.
The East Mausoleum girl was dancing on top of a bowl. Her dancing skills were so beautiful that it would make people gasp.
The Xie Jing girl was dancing towards Shui Xiu Wu. This scene reminded Wei Qing of Tian Sisi.
It was very obvious that Xiao Qingqian was also thinking about Tian Sisi. He glanced at Wei Qing from the corner of his eyes and cleared his throat, wanting to interrupt her train of thoughts.
Wei Qing shifted her gaze onto his face, "A guilty conscience."
His forehead was twisted into a lump. "How am I guilty of being a thief?"
Wei Qing snorted, and continued watching the stage.
Someone passed a bag of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs over. Wei Qing frowned and looked behind her. When she saw her father's gentle gaze, she felt warmth in her heart.
Wei Qing peeled off the chestnuts, but without the divine weapon, it was hard to peel off the chestnuts.
Just as he was about to take out the dagger, Xiao Qingqian received the chestnut in her hand, quickly peeled a few chestnuts off and pulled her hand over, placing the peeled chestnut on her palm.
Although Wei Qing was very happy in her heart, her face was still sullen.
Xiao Qingqian did not question her further. One of them was peeling chestnuts, the other was eating chestnuts. As for what had happened, Wei Qing did not know.
When the Xie Jing girls finished dancing, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Just listening to the applause was enough to determine who the winner would be.
Wei Qing sighed, "The women of Xie Jing sure have all sorts of bewitching looks!"
"Jealous?" Xiao Qingqian asked softly.
Wei Qing curled her lips, "What's there to be jealous about?"
"I'm not jealous. What were you sighing about just now?"
"Alright, I'm jealous. Are you satisfied?"
Xiao Qingqian smirked, "It's so beautiful."
Wei Qing watched the performance below and felt as if her mouth was stuffed with chestnuts.
Xiao Qingqian took the chance and bit her fingertip. In front of everyone, the temperature on Wei Qing's face suddenly rose as she rolled her eyes.
All of this was clearly seen by Chu Yin.
Even though he had already told himself to never let Wei Qing affect his emotions again, his heart still ached.
He Yue glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, feeling depressed.
Just as Wei Qing had expected, the Xie Jing girl had won.
Soon, it was time for the Southern and Northern Kingdom's women to perform.
The women of the Northern Kingdom also danced with their sleeves made of water. Their movements were beautiful, but they were not as breathtaking as the women of Xie Jing just now when he performed with her sleeves made them feel stunned.
Wei Qing kept feeling that the woman's eyes which were hidden behind the veil looked a little familiar. She furrowed her brows and seriously thought about it, then exclaimed, "Tian Sisi!"
Xiao Qingqian asked Chen Cheng to bring the list of participants, and sure enough, it was written "Sakura".
Wei Qing looked at Tian Sisi who was below the stage with a smile that was not a smile, "She also signed up, why didn't you know about it?"
"Didn't you come to Sunflower Dew that day?"
Wei Qing bit her lips, "Think of a way to make her lose!"
"Are you that petty?"
This time, Tian Sisi was participating in the tournament in place of the Northern Kingdom. If she was pushed down by the Southern Kingdom the moment she ascended the stage, then the Northern Kingdom would definitely be shamed.
"I'm not petty, but if she wins, I don't know what kind of tricks she'll play!"
Xiao Qingqian thought about it seriously before his gaze fell on the Old Emperor's face as he shook his head, "Not appropriate."
Wei Qing stared at him seriously, "Ok."
It was only one word, and it caused a huge unease to rise in Xiao Qingqian's heart.
Before Tian Sisi's performance ended, Wei Qing made an excuse to go to the toilet, and went backstage.
When Tian Sisi's performance ended, the entire arena was filled with thunderous applause.
When she went to the backstage and saw the playful and playful look in Wei Qing's eyes, her eyebrows lightly knitted together. The gaze that she used to look at could not help but wish that it could shoot her into a sieve.
"This humble one greets Princess Chu!"
Every word was filled with hatred, as if it was squeezed out from between the gaps of his teeth.
Wei Qing raised his eyebrows, "I don't care what your goal is, and no matter what Long Xiaotian wants to do, I will not stand by and watch!"
After wasting so much time with Tian Sisi, after being tricked by him so many times, it was time to settle this debt.
Tian Sisi laughed coldly as she looked at Wei Qing, "I'm afraid you still don't know, but now you and I are really going to deal with this together!"
Wei Qing did not understand, and looked at the luster in her eyes.
"Tian Sisi, about the trash you and Qing Mu, do you think Long Xiaotian would kill Qing Mu if word of it were to spread?"
With that said, her eyes revealed a sharp look, causing Tian Sisi to feel as if the temperature around her had dropped by quite a bit.
"What do you mean?"
"On that night in the brothel, did the Greenwood Tree make you feel so good that you turned the sky upside down?"
She purposely said those crude words to test Tian Sisi.
Tian Sisi's eyes flashed lightly, "What do you mean?"
"There's no meaning. You've already given your body to Qing Mu, and yet you still boast shamelessly that you were a virgin before entering the Prince Chu’s Mansion. What a joke!"
Tian Sisi was extremely agitated, "Wei Qing, you had better not speak such nonsense."
"Is that nonsense? You can ask Greenwood and see what he's saying." Also, you better not listen to Long Xiaotian. After losing the competition, at most, you would only get scolded by him, but if you win … "
