Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

"Moye, I'm getting engaged soon."

"I also feel like something's not right... Hmm, what?!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie's pupils contracted and his whole body trembled, but he remained outwardly calm.

Shouldn't we be discussing other people's crazy behavior? Why are we jumping around like this?
Moreover, engagement... Mu Ningxue is about to get engaged?

Mu Ningxue keenly sensed something was amiss with Mo Xie, and a hint of joy welled up inside her. A barely perceptible smile curved her lips as she nodded.

"Yes, there is a young master from a prominent family in the capital who wants to form a marriage alliance with a collateral branch of our Mu family. If I do not agree to the marriage, they will sever all business ties between us."

"and then?"

After hearing this, Mo Xie didn't know why, but subconsciously asked a question.

"My father respected my wishes and politely declined their offer for the time being, but the family is currently facing difficulties and its position within the Mu family is precarious. If we lose the support of this powerful family, what will happen next..."

A gentle breeze blew by, and Mu Ningxue raised her hand to lightly press down her silver hair, lowering her eyelids slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with disappointment and resentment.

She looked at Mo Xie, blinked slightly, and curved her red lips into a slightly melancholic smile.

"Maybe I really will choose to marry someone I don't like for the sake of my family's interests, and the next time we meet, I might be a married woman."

She spoke these words, which were clearly so sad, as if they were a joke, but the tremor in her voice betrayed her inner unease and helplessness.

For a moment, silence fell over the two of them, who stood facing each other, neither of them speaking.

After a long while, Mo Xie moved his lips, looked up at the cold and beautiful Mu Ningxue, and spoke.

"Are you... really willing?"

"what?"

"If you marry someone you don't love, have you truly chosen to compromise?"

Upon hearing this, a wicked glint flashed in Mu Ningxue's eyes. She pursed her lips slightly and said with a smile.

"What can I do? I did all this for the family. Even if Father doesn't agree, I have to consider the other members of the clan. Besides..."

She sighed, gave Mo Xie a resentful look, and whispered.

"What can I do if the person I like doesn't like me or doesn't accept me? After all, I've only ever been committed to him for the rest of my life."

Mo Xie opened her mouth, but ultimately swallowed her words and chose to remain silent.

While remaining silent, he also asked himself some questions.

What's wrong with me? Could it be that just because of a song that night, my heart could waver?

Seeing Mo Xie lower his head and remain silent, Mu Ningxue shook her head in disappointment, her jade hands clenched involuntarily, and her voice became several decibels louder.

"Moye, you heard I'm getting engaged soon, don't you have anything to say?"

What can I say? Should I congratulate you on your marriage?

Mo Xie remained expressionless, paused, and then spoke calmly.

"And what is our relationship?"

"us……"

Mu Ningxue was about to speak when she suddenly froze, unable to utter a word. Yes, what was their relationship? Perhaps they weren't even friends.

At this moment, she desperately wanted to spill all the secrets of what happened back then, to vent her grievances and pain, and to curl up in Mo Xie's arms like she did when she was a child, quietly experiencing the treatment of a little woman.

However, her sudden return to reason told her that she absolutely could not say it. Before she had a firm foothold in the Mu family and had control of the Ice Crystal Bow, this matter had to remain a secret.

Her beautiful eyes glistened with tears as she looked up at the starry sky, trying not to let the tears fall, and said...

"Mo Xie, you once told me that there is a city hanging in the sky in this world. Because I love you, I instinctively imagined this city as the most beautiful existence in this material world..."

"But they overlooked the fact that even if it hangs in the sky, so what? The sky can still be filled with dark clouds and unpredictable winds and rain."

Mu Ningxue tilted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with tears as she looked at Mo Xie, revealing a poignant smile.

Then, her silver hairs fluttered as she turned and left, a few glistening tears shimmering in the air.

"I'm going back."

Upon seeing that desolate smile, Mo Xie's heart seemed to skip a beat, and memories of their childhood flashed through his mind.

At the same time, the super intuition worked on Mu Ningxue for the first time, reminding her not to let go and not to miss the opportunity!
Instinctively, he strode forward, grabbed Mu Ningxue's wrist, and pulled her back.

Mu Ningxue's delicate body trembled, and she stiffly raised her head. Tears streamed down her fair cheeks, and her slightly rosy eyes stared intently at Mo Xie, as if she simply couldn't believe it.

The next second, she could no longer control her emotions.
She threw herself into Mo Xie's arms, hugging her waist tightly, and burst into tears.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Feeling the soft, delicate body in his arms, Mo Xie was momentarily dazed. How long had it been since he had held her?

Her hands trembled, but she didn't hug him. Instead, she gently stroked his hair and patted his back without saying a word.

After crying for a while, Mu Ningxue finally calmed down. She buried her face in her chest and mumbled something.

"Mo Xie, I'm sorry, but when the time is right, I will definitely tell you the truth..."

After speaking, she took a step back, leaving the warm embrace, wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and revealed a bright smile, as if an iceberg had melted, making her stunningly beautiful!

“I’m so happy, really…really happy. This is the happiest time I’ve had in years.”

"Mo Xie, my feelings for you will never change. If I was still hesitant before, I am now clear... I will not agree to the marriage. I have always loved you. Wait for me!"

Mu Ningxue smiled and turned to leave, her steps light and quick, as if she had returned to her childhood in that instant, leaving only a graceful and beautiful back view as she gradually disappeared from sight.

At this moment, the crystal-clear city deep within her heart is slowly being rebuilt!

Mo Xie stood still, gazing quietly at the starry sky. The cold wind soothed the turmoil in his heart, and he took a deep breath.

For the first time, he doubted his super intuition. If, as Mu Ningxue said, there was a secret I didn't know about, then why was he only reacting now?

Furthermore, what exactly was the hidden story back then?
The truth remains unknown to Mo Xie; all he can do is try to investigate or wait for time to tell.

Just now, he understood his own feelings, but that incident from back then was still a thorn stuck in his heart.

If he truly wants to let go, he probably needs a reasonable explanation so that he can follow his heart.

However, the most urgent task now is to deal with that bewitching spider.

Mo Xie took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and with a focused gaze, walked towards the pool not far away. (End of Chapter)
