Murong Yixuan was stunned, and then he laughed: “I understand, I will be mindful in the future.” There was a glint of smile in his eyes as he looked at her and asked: “Are you both not getting ready to get married yet?”
He found it strange, the two of them have known each other for quite a few years, so why hasn’t Xuanyuan Mo Ze married her yet? His sweetheart was so open, was he not afraid that someone else would fall in love with her?
“We were going to start preparing our wedding, but so much has happened in the last year and caught us off guard, so it has been delayed.” Her eyes narrowed and she smiled: “Anyway, in our opinion, getting married is just a ritual, there’s no rush.”
The two of them chatted for a while in the pavilion, and when Feng Jiu realised it was getting late, she stood up: “I have something to do, so I will get going now. If you feel bored you can get someone to take you around the palace for a walk.”
“Go and do your work.” Murong Yixuan nodded and watched her turn and leave. After a long time, he finally turned back and took a sip of tea.
Feng Jiu had planned to go to the Palace to visit Xuan Yuan Country Ruler. However, on her way there, she bumped into Xuanyuan Mo Ze on his way back. When she saw him, she stepped forward in surprise: “Why are you here?”
“There’s no need to go over, he’s already gone into seclusion.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said and held her hand as he walked forward: “I have protected him and he has also taken the pill. All we can do now is wait for him to come out of seclusion.”
“I was going to go over to take a look, but since he has gone into seclusion then forget it.” She held his hand and they walked back slowly with Leng Shuang and Shadow One following behind them.
“I was thinking of having the Feng Guards escort Grandfather and the others home two days later. With my Father and them by his side, I can rest assured.” She said softly, and thought about the next steps she would make.
“Do you not intend to bring the Feng Guards to the Upper Reaches with you?” Xuanyuan Mo Ze asked.
“I don’t want them to go over at the moment.” She shook her head and said: “Although their strength has improved, they are still no match for the people in the Upper Reaches of the mainland. I want them to stay behind and listen to Grandfather and Father’s command.”
“The Feng Guards can stay behind but you can take the eight Feng Guard Captains with you.” He looked at her and said: “With their strength, they should be able to help you.”
“Well, let me think about it.” She replied. She still wasn’t sure if she wanted to bring Luo Yu and the others with her.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze paused slightly and a glimmer of light flashed across his eyes, then he said: “You don’t have to take Mo Chen. I think you will just be bringing trouble along with you if you bring him. He is too conspicuous, and because of his identity over there, inevitably people will start to look into your identity if they see him with you.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu was stunned. She raised her eyes and looked at him. When she saw how serious he was, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
“You are right, he is too conspicuous. If he comes with me, he will definitely attract trouble. But, I did promise him. So tell me, what should I say to him now?”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze snorted softly: “Just find a reason to leave him behind.”
“Are you sure that’s alright?” Feng Jiu felt uncomfortable about doing that. After all, he had travelled a long way to come and help her, wouldn’t it be rude for her to do that?
“Of course.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said: “With me by your side, you don’t need anyone else.”
