It seems I should spend more time playing with the little thief in the future...
Under Chen Mo’s precise control, the score reached four to four, and the situation was extraordinarily tense.
In the decisive game, a strong desire to win or lose made the Crown Prince particularly serious.
"Chen Mo, catch the ball!"
The Empress passed the ball accurately to Chen Mo’s feet.
Without hesitation, Chen Mo lifted his foot and took a shot.
But the direction was slightly off, heading directly towards the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Fan Sijin’s complexion changed slightly, and she exclaimed.
Watching the ball whizzing over, the Crown Prince seemed dumbfounded, frozen in place, forgetting to dodge.
Fan Sijin swiftly moved in front of the Crown Prince, raised her hand, and unleashed a stream of Qi.
The ball exploded in mid-air!
The strong wind pressure made her clothes flutter wildly, her hairpin came apart, and her black hair was drawn tightly back!
Only at this moment did the Crown Prince come to his senses, sitting on the ground with a pale face.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Chen Mo quickly approached, cupping his hands apologetically and said, "This humble servant accidentally missed, almost injuring Your Highness, I hope Your Highness forgives me."
Fan Sijin stared at him coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, did you do it on purpose?"
Considering Chen Mo’s cultivation, how could he have kicked incorrectly?
Moreover, before the Primordial Qi she unleashed touched the ball, the ball had already exploded on its own, it looked all too intentional!
"Misunderstanding, Lord Sigui, I had no such intention." Chen Mo hurriedly explained, "I just got distracted for a moment and couldn’t control the force and direction well, fortunately, Lord Sigui reacted swiftly and averted a disaster..."
Seeing his genuinely frightened look, which didn’t seem fake, Fan Sijin frowned, slightly hesitant.
Could it really have been an accident?
"It’s alright, I’m fine."
The Crown Prince regained his senses, tugged at Fan Sijin’s skirt, and said in a tender voice, "Chen Mo surely didn’t mean it, don’t make it difficult for him."
The Empress also walked over at this moment, saying, "As long as no one is hurt, all is well, Chen Mo, be careful next time, the Crown Prince is still young and cannot bear such a kick from you."
Chen Mo bowed and said, "This humble servant acknowledges his mistake."
Seeing that the Empress and the Crown Prince both spoke in his favor, Fan Sijin didn’t say much more.
With such an incident, the game naturally couldn’t continue.
The Crown Prince was a bit shaky from fear, so Fan Sijin took him away from the field first.
Watching their departing figures, Chen Mo narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing across his eyes.
The Empress said in a low voice, "You were too reckless, what if the Crown Prince was really harmed?"
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I was just testing the waters a little, and at least it wasn’t completely fruitless..."
He saw it clearly, just as the ball was about to hit the Crown Prince, a red pattern spread out from his collar.
It was somewhat similar to the blood-red scales that covered Chu Heng entirely that day, but without the foul bloody stench, more like some kind of ancient seal or rune.
"An automatic defense mechanism?"
"It seems that the Great Yuan Imperial Family is not as simple as it seems!"
