“Why should I look for you?” Xiaoba’s cold gaze swept over. Coldly, she smiled, disdain and coldness covering her face as she slowly stated, “Sixth sister is of such high social standing now. Not only are you the General Xiuli of Yan Bei, you are also the Xiuli King of Liang Empire. Soon, you will become the Lady of the Grand Marshal. I, as a small slave, if I head over, wouldn’t I cause you to lose face?” Xiaoba’s eyes were cold, and as she said ‘Lady of the Grand Marshal’, it seemed as though she was consumed with rage, her eyes spewing fire.

The incense slowly lighted up, sending coiling smoke up into the air. The golden light was like a layer of water, painting a spotted pattern on the floor. The room was filled with nothing but silence as Chu Qiao observed Xiaoba, her initially excited heart slowly freezing up. The words that she was about to say were ultimately pressed down deep into her heart as she felt lost and disappointed.

Then, Chu Qiao heard herself speaking with an exceedingly cold tone, “If that was the case, why did you show today?”

“His Highness is going to leave. I hope you can find a way to exempt my status as a slave so that I can follow him.”

Chu Qiao was slightly taken aback and asked, “Where is he heading to?”

“Where else can he go? He was sent to Yansai to guard the horse stables. A prince of royal blood was actually dispatched to guard horses,” Xiaoba’s expression turned melancholic as she coldly declared. The immense anger in her voice could barely be contained.

“Why?”

“Why else? Wasn’t it because of you?” Xiaoba turned her head around and coldly stated, “Ever since His Highness lost his arm to Yan Xun, he hid away from politics. No one paid him much attention. Yet, he had suddenly mobilized forces for your sake and was obviously showing his friendliness to you. Do you think that people like the 14th Prince would allow him to remain in the royal capital?”

Chu Qiao’s hand was unnaturally cold, only to hear Xiaoba’s piercing voice resound again, “I will not beg you to find a way to let His Highness remain in the royal capital, and merely hope to seek your help to find a document. His Highness refused to let me follow him, so I will find a way to follow him. At the very least, I can serve him with his daily activities and act as a companion. I am grateful to His Highness, and will certainly not repay gratitude with hatred like certain people.”

After a long while of contemplation, Chu Qiao lifted her head and firmly looked into Xiaoba’s face. She calmly asked, “Xiaoba, must you really draw the line between us so clearly?”

“What are you saying? Sixth sister, look at the difference in our social status. How could I dare to do that? In the first place….”

“If you continue to talk like that, get out now, and do not come to look for me. I will pretend that I do not have a sister!” Chu Qiao’s voice, although cold, was teeming with rage.

Xiaoba was utterly stunned by her outburst, and for a moment she could not muster any response.

“What are you angry about? Are you angry that I could not protect you, that I could not bring you away? Or are you angry that I could not take revenge for our family, and ended up marrying our past enemy?” Chu Qiao bellowed, “All these years, no matter how much pain you shouldered, I did not live in happiness either. I thought that you died, and felt guilty for the past 14 years. Yet, when I finally found you alive, all you did was to come up to me and coldly chide me with sarcasm. Is this the sibling relationship that you were talking about?”

The midday sunlight continued to paint the dynamic artwork of spotted shadows on the floor, as Chu Qiao stood up and coldly looked at Xiaoba, before continuing, “It has been 14 years. How many things have happened? You are full of yourself and your sufferings, but blamed everything on others. I really suspect if you really are the same brave and determined sister that I knew. You named yourself ‘Wuxin’, but are you sure you are detached from your emotions?”
