“You can even help her to deal with many things. Look at how she treats Yinfeng. If you are as capable as Yinfeng, she may like you too.” Well, she was just engaged, but in the Saint Divine Land, engagement could be broken off, which was totally normal and within the routine. Wuhen was thinking this, but did not dare to say it.
Thanks to the Queen, Zhou Huaiyu had been helping Zhou Huaijin all the time, and he did not want to do anything that might hurt him.
However, for Wuhen, Zhou Huaiyu was his savior and he hoped that Zhou Huaiyu could be a little bit more selfish from his own point of view. He hoped that Zhou Huaiyu could just get rid of the restriction of gratitude and favors, and court the woman he liked. Zhou Huaiyu had had a hard life, and he deserved to be happy.
Zhou Huaiyu shook his head and said, “No need. I will stay away from her, since I can’t get her. That makes me feel less miserable. We’ll just continue to live the same way as we have always been living. That will be enough.”
Wuhen said nothing more. He admitted that the idea he came up with was risky and required a lot of action. If he did get her in the end, he might be happy or guilty – it all seemed very risky.
As for what Zhou Huaiyu said… that was a solution too.
He felt that a life like this was good too. He could just live somewhere else if he could not survive in the capital, as long as he was happy and free. If they could really unite in the capital in the future, then he would still have a wife, though not to his taste, in the mansion. He would have a home, and in case he ran into someone else he liked in the future, he could still feel assured being with that woman.
That was what Wuhen was thinking, as he looked at Zhou Huaiyu.
Well, everything should be ok.
He fetched a bottle of wine and went to drink it outside on the deck, ignoring Zhou Huaiyu.
When Zhou Huaiyu and Wuhen arrived at Sheng Town, Gu Chaoyan and her group had already traveled far, almost reaching the boundary of the Saint Divine Land.
Mo Bing, who was wearing a poker face, returned and said, “There is still a long way to go before we reach the next hostel. We won’t make it before evening. I think that we can set up a camp here tonight.”
Zhou Huaijin nodded.
They had been prepared for such a situation to come. Nothing would happen to them, even if they set up a camp outside.
They had some wagons with thick blankets inside. Chaoyan and Qing as well as the other girls could take a break inside the wagon, whilst the men could just spend the night outside.
When Mo Bing finished speaking, Zhou Huaijin gave the order to make the arrangements.
It was a quiet night and dawn had just broken, when they resumed their trip.
Two days later, they arrived at Xiazhou, close to Tongzhou, and Bingzhou, which wasn’t far from the capital.
They spent one whole day at Xiazhou before they arrived at Bingzhou. However, something happened on the way to Bingzhou.
It was so sudden and unexpected…
A man covered in blood popped up and stopped their wagon.
The wagon pulled over directly.
Gu Chaoyan asked. “What is going on?”
“Elder Miss, someone is stopping us!” Sword One answered.
Gu Chaoyan went to see what was going on, and as she approached the man who was stopped by Mo Bing, she burst out. “Xie Yan?!”
