C456 Unacquainted (1/2)

The carriage quickly headed over and stopped in front of everyone. Mu Ru Yue jumped off the carriage first. Seeing that Feng Qing was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief. ”Fortunately, I managed to make it in time.”

”You … ”What's going on?” Feng Qing looked at Mu Ru Yue with surprise. His heart, which had originally sunk to the bottom of the valley, had returned to its normal state after seeing the girl before him, unharmed.

”Just a little accident.” Mu Ru Yue chuckled as she said that. The people fighting quickly ended the battle and all the bandits were captured. The man in black who saved Feng Qing previously didn't even show himself.

”Your Highness, why don't we wait until we return to the city?” There will inevitably be some remaining supporters on this side. If we don't make it, it will be dangerous. ” The one who spoke was the City Lord of Peony City.

When he spoke, Mu Ru Yue finally reacted. Her gaze landed on his body, and the sight that entered her eyes made her heart skip a beat. There was an indescribable feeling. She looked at him and wanted to ask who he was.

But before she could ask, someone had already answered her.

”Mayor's words are reasonable.” Feng Qing turned around and said to Mu Ru Yue, ”Let's head back to the city first.”

Since Feng Qing had already said so, Mu Ru Yue naturally wouldn't refute her. She nodded. ”Alright.” With that, everyone got into the carriage. Feng Qing was with the Peony City Lord, but Jun Ruo had gotten into Mu Ru Yue's carriage.

The two carriages slowly moved forward as soon as they got on the carriage. The guards were pressing down the bandits as they also walked towards the city.

Inside the car, Jun Ru's eyes fell on Bai Yu, who had been hiding inside the car. He was slightly surprised. ”I didn't expect Master Bai to be here as well.”

”Shut up!” Bai Yu glared fiercely at Jun Ru. His heart was filled with rage at the appearance of Jun Ru. He felt like he had been completely used.

Shut up?

Jun Ruoyun smiled. ”Even if I were to shut my mouth, I'm afraid that the mayor will soon find out about your matter. At that time, won't you still have nothing left to lose?” Sooner or later, we have to face reality. ”

”Did you know this would happen? It caused me to be involved as well. ” Bai Yu's expression was sickly. If not for the fact that he could rope in the crown prince, he would have already gone all out and fought with Jun Ruo to the death.

However, Jun Ruo had an innocent look on his face. ”I'm not some scheming god, how could I possibly think so far away? It is just like how you, Bai Yu, walked together with Princess Hua-Yang. In fact, you even saved everyone's lives at this critical moment. ”

”What do you mean?” Bai Yu frowned.

”If it wasn't for you coming, that boat would have attacked the Crown Prince. When that time comes, no one would be able to escape.” How can you say that you didn't save our lives? ” Jun Ruo's tone was very gentle.

It was like a big bad wolf was trying to trick a child.

However, it was a pity that Bai Yu wasn't a child. His eyes darkened as he looked at Jun Ruo and said, ”I only have one question for you, is there any part of today's matter that involves your limbs?”

Jun Ru shook his head sincerely, ”To be honest, what happened today was outside of my expectations and had even caught me somewhat unprepared. I had never planned for my wife to be exposed in front of the City Lord so early in the morning.

Unexpectedly … Something went wrong. ”

Jun Ru was speaking the truth. After all, the things that he wanted Mu Ru Yue to help out were not to be exposed. It wouldn't be a good thing to let her be exposed in front of the mayor.

However, Mu Ru Yue didn't care about Jun Mo Xie or Bai Yu at the moment, and her mind was filled with that person's appearance. That person … Not Qing Xun? Even in death, Mu Ru Yue wouldn't forget the heartless appearance. The mayor of Peony City was handsome and exquisite. Although she was a rarely seen handsome man, she wasn't the same Qing Xun that she knew.

That person … She would remember to turn to dust.

However, if he was not Qing Xun, then what was this complicated feeling that was difficult to suppress in his heart?

Mu Ru Yue felt her heart aching. She even wanted to cry.

”Princess?” The two of them, who were quarreling initially, finally reacted. Mu Ru Yue also noticed that Mu Ru Yue had become strange, so she hastily asked. When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she widened her eyes, tears flowing from her eyes.

”You... What's wrong with you? ” Bai Yu was the first one to be frightened. He had some understanding of Mu Ru Yue's viciousness in the past two days. When she was at the Blacksmith God's Gate, she had never said he would cry in such a terrifying cave of snakes. Why are you crying?

”What is Princess Hua-Yang?” Jun Ru was also surprised. One had to know that the crown prince was in another carriage. If he were to find out that they had angered the Seventh Princess into crying when he got off the carriage later, he wouldn't be able to eat any good food.

Seeing that both of them were looking at her with a puzzled expression, Mu Ru Yue wiped the tears off her face and said expressionlessly, ”It's nothing. I was just blinded by the sand.” Mu Ru Yue explained calmly.
