”…” Apart from that incantation, the Eleventh Princess had never seen such a blind person before.

She blushed, embarrassed, and asked, ”You saved me, and you don't want anything?”

”Even if I don't save you, there will still be people coming to save you. Don't take it too seriously. Let's go.” He straightened up and kicked the two men he had bound tightly together.

”…” Don't take it too seriously? He said he could save a life so easily?

Princess Eleven opened her mouth, but she knew that even if she said anything more, this person would still look the same. As a result, she lowered her head to pick up a piece of Double Fish Jade Pendant that had fallen to the ground. She used her strength to move one half of the jade pendant to her own and the other half to this person's hand, saying —

”Alright, even if you don't want anything, your generosity cannot be the reason for my pettiness. I, Feng Lingyue, am not such a person.” I tell you, I really am a princess, the eleventh child of the Emperor. If you have this half jade pendant with you, in the future, if you regret it, or if you have anything you want to help me with, you can bring it to me. No matter what the conditions are, as long as I can do it, I will do it for you.

Seeing this person about to open his mouth and refuse, she immediately blocked his hand and said, ”Don't reject him. Take it, it won't lose a piece of flesh. There will always be a time to beg, won't there?”

She forcefully placed the half of the jade pendant into his hand, then picked up the Night Pearls and the banknotes from the ground and put them into her purse. She turned around and slowly walked out of the run-down temple.

The masked man watched as her background disappeared from his line of sight, then lowered his head to look at the jade pendant that was forcefully stuffed into his hand before turning around and walking to the other side.

But, after only a short walk, he heard a flurry of footsteps and gasps behind him, and then he felt something catch in the hem of his shirt.

He was stunned. He turned around and saw that a branch had pierced his waist. Raising his head, he realized that the person who had poked him was clearly the person who wanted to add him to his position. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip.

”What is it?” he asked.

Princess Eleven's face is a bit red, but she is too embarrassed to directly say that she is actually very scared right now. After walking a few steps, she comes back and says:

”Um, what if those two bad guys wake up and catch up with me? After all, in the wilderness, I am only one person, and I am not their match. ”

”They're already tied up. They can't catch you.” he reminded her.

”Then... ”Then, if we meet with any bandits robbing on the way, I've seen it in the play. Those bandits are very bad, they will capture a beautiful girl and use her as their wife. I can't be a wife of a mountain robber, I still need to recruit a prince consort.” Eleven coughed and said, ”Save her until the end. Why don't you just send me down the mountain?”

He looked at her through the mask, and Princess Eleven looked back at him, her hands clasped in a pitiful gesture.

Finally, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the broken temple. Princess Eleven was overjoyed and immediately followed. She asked happily, ”So you agreed?”

He did not speak, but continued to walk, and Princess Eleven trotted after him.

”How did you agree?”

”Why are you wearing a mask? Doesn't your face look good? Or was it disfigured? If you disfigure your face, I'll get the imperial physician to treat it for you. Perhaps you'll recover. ”

”This is a wilderness, why are you here? Do you live on the mountain? Where is your house? ”

”You don't seem that old, why are you saying so little? Just like an old man, do you never like to talk much? ”
