“Steward Mu…” Sefiro narrowed her eyes. “Do you remember what I hate most?”
Of course Steward Mu knew the answer. Sefiro hated it the most when people lied to her!
But he wasn’t lying… This rascal who was impersonating him was the liar here, but without any evidence, he didn’t know what to say.
“Steward Mu!” Sefiro’s face darkened.
Steward Mu stared at Sefiro with a grim look on his face. “Your Highness, will you believe me if I tell you that this Catnine is a fake one?”
Crossing her arms, Sefiro snorted.
Steward Mu ground his teeth. “Your Highness, will you believe me if I tell you that I didn’t take his needle?”
Sefiro snorted again.
“Your Highness…” Steward Mu was shaking from head to toe, but he fought back his anger and took a deep breath. “Your Highness, do you not trust me anymore?”
Sefiro shook her head calmly. “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I need confirmation. To make it fair, both of you will be frisked.”
Steward Mu’s face twitched.
He didn’t anticipate that the princess had so little trust in him. If the needle was really found on him while he was searched, that would be…
With shaking fingers, Steward Mu took out a brocade box from his chest pocket and handed it to Sefiro. “Your Highness, this is… this is…”
Sefiro took it and saw that it was indeed the Yin-Yang needle.
“Steward Mu!” Sefiro’s eyes widened and her face turned livid. “You really did take the needle from Catnine. You… you’re abusing your power!”
Steward Mu closed his eyes, his face almost green.
How was he supposed to explain this?
How could he possibly say it?
Feng Wu heaved a sigh at that moment and told Sefiro, “Your Highness, please don’t be mad. I think Steward Mu really was trying to study the needle…”
Sefiro cast a stern look at Feng Wu. “With everything that has happened, you’re still taking his side? How kind of you! Fine, it’s not like that’s the most important thing right now. You already have the Yin-Yang needle. Do you know what to do?”
“What should I do?” Feng Wu looked very innocent.
Sefiro stared at Feng Wu in bewilderment. “Are you a fool? Do you not know that the Yin-Yang needle is very useful for controlling beasts?”
Feng Wu said, “Sure.” But in fact, she hadn’t known that before.
Sefiro said, “So, we can work with that! Isn’t Feng Wu proud because of her advanced cultivation and her great patrons? I can’t touch her when she’s walking around, but what if her horse startles when she’s riding? What if she falls and breaks her leg? And what if she doesn’t just break a leg? What if she dies?”
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
The more she spoke, the more excited Sefiro became. “Since the needle can control beasts, and horses are beasts… We can work with that!”
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
Clenching her fists, Sefiro looked excited. “I’m sure nothing will go wrong with you in control of the needle; so, the only problem now is how to make Feng Wu agree to a competition with me.”
Sefiro walked around as she pondered. “That girl will never agree if I just go up to her, so I need to have a plan. But what plan? Hm…”
