Bai Qiyang took off his outer robe and handed it to the maid.

He smiled and said, "Of course not, Zhi’er is not only kind and generous, but also very enthusiastic."

Then, he took out a box of jewelry that Bai Zhi’er had asked him to give to Mu Xi.

"This is from Zhi’er for you, take a look, they’re all beautiful things."

"I have to admit, Xixi, my sister is truly good to us!"

Listening to Bai Qiyang’s constant praise of Bai Zhi’er, Mu Xi felt a pang in her heart.

Clearly, she was the only person Bai Qiyang valued, but since returning to the Capital, everything had changed!

Mu Xi opened the box, dazzled by the array of treasure.

Feeling a bitter sting, she closed the box.

She feigned gratitude and said, "The Princess is really good, brother, you came back so late, were you playing with the Princess?"

Bai Qiyang took a sip of hot tea, "Yes, Zhi’er is very skilled at chess."

"Playing with her is like a gentle breeze, the more we play, the more enjoyable it is!"

Mu Xi thought of herself, having never even touched a chess piece.

She was born into a poor family, and when the village declined, she, along with her parents and siblings, was about to move to find a new place to live but was kidnapped by bandits.

Compared to Bai Zhi’er, she always felt ashamed and inferior!

Mu Xi remained silent, and Bai Qiyang didn’t notice the subtle change in her expression.

At night.

Mu Xi couldn’t sleep, her hand reached out from the blanket, holding a carved wooden figure.

The wooden figure was in the likeness of an immortal.

She had stolen it from a Yan Country merchant whom the bandits had captured while she worked for them.

She heard that this immortal was very famous in Yan Country.

As long as you make a wish to him, your dreams quickly come true.

Especially wishes related to enemies, they were the easiest to fulfill.

Previously, Mu Xi made a wish to this immortal hoping the bandits who oppressed her would be killed soon!

Sure enough, in less than three months, a man named Marquis Wan suddenly arrived with groups of guards and completely leveled the bandit camp!

All the bandits died under his sword.

Mu Xi also gained her freedom.

She knew the immortal must have heard her plea.

If such a big wish could be fulfilled, then Mu Xi believed that her small grievance with Bai Zhi’er could certainly be helped by the immortal.

She held the wooden figure tightly, her eyes flickering with a dark light.

"I’ll wait and see, if Bai Qiyang continues to ignore my feelings, then I will make my wish to the immortal!"

Actually, Mu Xi didn’t want to cause trouble, she just wished Bai Qiyang would focus on her feelings.

After all, without her, Bai Qiyang would have been dead long ago!

When she learned that Bai Qiyang had a sister and all his brothers doted on her, and she was a princess, Mu Xi felt a deep sense of fear.

Of course, she hoped Bai Qiyang would keep his attention on her, because Bai Zhi’er, as a princess, had everything.

But she only had Bai Qiyang!

If Bai Qiyang also started doting on Bai Zhi’er, the wealth she had struggled to attain would be gone again!

Mu Xi was unwilling to endure hardship again.

She carefully put down the wooden figure and glanced at the bottom of the statue, where the immortal’s name was carved—

"Yuan Qing... Star Lord." Mu Xi read aloud.

It was an immortal she hadn’t heard of.

But it didn’t matter, as long as he could help her, she wouldn’t skimp on offerings!
