C55 (1/2)
Perhaps because their eyes were burning hot, Bai Zhixi grabbed his handkerchief and wiped his face clean, then stuffed it into his clothes as if there was no one around.
After staying in front of the tomb for around two hours, the group finally left.
Thinking about how only he and his grandfather were left in this world, Bai Zhixi's heart surged with a touch of sadness, and he remained silent on the way down the mountain.
The sun shone brightly, illuminating the entire mountain forest. The heavy snow melted in a sparse and sparse manner.
Birds roam the sky, chirping in the forest, in such a good mood as the weather changes.
It was easy to climb up the mountain, but hard to climb down. It took a lot of effort for them to reach the foot of the mountain. On the desolate road, rows and rows of wheel prints could be clearly seen as they passed by, heading in the direction of capital.
”Miss Bai, where is your horse?”
Dongfang Chen saw that everyone had called out their horses, and only Bai Zhixi was looking around, so he asked.
Last night, he thought about it for an entire night. Even if she had Jun Mohan in her heart, wasn't she still unmarried?
Moreover, their marriage could not be decided by themselves. The old prince would not allow a girl of unknown origin to enter the gates of the clan.
He might still have a chance.
He did not believe that in terms of status, literary talent, and looks, he was weaker than Jun Mohan. He was already very confident in himself.
”I remember when I went up the mountain and put it on a tree, how could I not see it?”
Bai Zhixi looked at them and whistled, then turned and rode out of the forest. She instantly blushed and was full of awkwardness, already looking around to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Not wanting to be broken by Dongfang Chen's words, he could only give her a brilliant answer.
”Hahaha, you actually don't know how to call a horse. You even put it on a tree and didn't know that there are many fierce beasts in the forest. At that moment, your horse is probably already eaten to the point where not even its bones are left. ”Aiyo …”
Hearing Bai Zhixi's words, Mo Feiling could not help but laugh, and tears started streaming down his face.
She did not want Bai Zhixi to kick his ankle, causing her to lose her balance, and fall in front of the horse's mouth.
Looking at Bai Zhixi who was standing in front of him, he felt a lingering fear in his heart, as though he had just laughed too much.
”You think it's funny?”
Cold words came out of her mouth as she walked towards Mo Feiling step by step. The cold aura of the cold rhino had pressured Mo Feiling to the point that he couldn't breathe, and he could not help but take a step back.
God, it was horrible. However, he felt that this imposing manner seemed to belong to someone.
”Hehe, I was just joking … Hey hey, what are you doing? ”
Looking at Bai Zhixi who was like an Asura, he wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
Along the way, everyone knew her identity, but no one doubted her. They never mentioned Situ Jie at all. Looking at her face, he instantly felt that everything she had done was right.
Bai Zhixi ignored the pleading in his eyes, took out his horse ropes from his hands and leisurely led the horses forward.
Seeing that, everyone watched with interest, but no one spoke up for Mo Feiling, as though they felt that he was asking for trouble.
”Let's go!”
Jun Mohan looked at everything coldly, his cold eyes sweeping across Mo Feiling as though he was looking at the depths of the ocean, bottomless, causing people to be unable to help but shiver.
Hearing that, everyone turned and got on their horses, heading towards capital.
Only Mo Feiling stood alone on the spot, pointing at their distant backs, while cursing out loud from his mouth.
Suddenly, Bai Zhixi felt a gust of cold wind blow and he fell into a warm embrace.
When he turned around, he saw Mo Feiling's evil expression, both of his hands still holding onto her waist. No matter how hard she fought, Mo Feiling would not let go.
”Young Master Mo, Miss Bai is still a girl that needs to be married off. It's not appropriate for you to do this in the end, as it will ruin the reputation of the young lady. Why don't you ride with me? ”
Dongfang Chen looked at Mo Feiling who was hugging Bai Zhi, his tone was displeased, a cold look flashed across his eyes as he said leisurely.
”Crown Prince, I thank you for your good intentions. Looking down at the threatening cold wind, having such a thick body to help me withstand the cold is a good method. Furthermore, there are very few people here. If we don't tell them, no one will know. ”
Bai Zhixi's words successfully shocked everyone. No one would have thought that she would agree to have Mo Feiling ride on her horse, this really didn't seem like it.
Only she knew that if it wasn't for the fact that Mo Feiling that damned brat said he would give her 10,000 taels of silver as payment for her travel expenses, she would have cut off that pair of hands off from her waist.
Although the sun was high in the sky, there was no guarantee that the sky would be covered with snow in the afternoon. It wasn't safe to leave him alone in the wilderness.
He had heard Lan Yi say that he was of noble status, and if something were to happen to him, he was afraid that it would cause more trouble for his grandfather.
Moreover, in the past when he was a bodyguard, he was mixed with both men and women during training. After eating and living for so many years, there was nothing wrong with it.
”But Miss Bai, he is a man after all. Men and women shouldn't be too intimate with each other. Do you really not mind?”
Dongfang Chen still did not give up, as he attempted to make Bai Zhixi throw this damned fellow away. He hurriedly walked in front of them, blocking their path.
”Nothing, I've never treated him as a man …”
Bai Zhixi smiled gently at Dongfang Chen, swung his reins, and started to run forward like the wind.
Mo Feiling, who was sitting behind her, was very pleased that he could sit behind the beauty. He did not expect to hear such fierce words from Bai Zhixi, and almost fell down from his horse.
