C77 (1/2)

The weather was too hot. If he could find a water source, he could even wash himself in the water, but if he really couldn't find one, he'd better first boil some water to wash himself.

His calmness and calmness actually made Chi Huan admire him a little bit, and he also became a bit more respectful towards him.

As for the rest of the people, some of them were also angry with Xue Qianyun. Seeing that no one else had anything to say, they gradually stopped looking at him. Xue Buyun finally let out a sigh of relief.

Lying awake at night in his tent, thinking about what he had seen and heard in the day, his heart always churning with something unknown, he turned over, sat up, opened the tent and went outside.

Ru Yi sat cross-legged on a large rug at her feet. A simple wooden table was propped up in front of her, upon which she was writing a letter in the firelight. This was what he had requested, one letter at a time.

”Come over and sit.” When she saw him, she smiled and waved to him, pulling a cushion from the side and placing it on her left.

After a moment's hesitation, Xue Xianyun walked over to her and sat down cross-legged, imitating her. Ru Yi added a few words to the letter before placing the pen down. Fifteen took it and sealed it, handing it to a messenger at the side.

”Why are you out? Can't you sleep?” She rubbed her neck and asked after staying in the same position for a long time.

Xue Buyun didn't answer, but said in a low voice, ”Let me help you pinch it.”

When Jun Ruye, who was sitting at the side, heard these words, he couldn't help but glance at Xue Chaoyun and then take a glance at Number Fifteen.

Xue Chaoyun lowered his eyes and ignored him, but Fifteen did not dare to ignore him. He shivered slightly and hurriedly said, ”Master, shall I help you massage it?”

Ru Yi said indifferently, ”There's no need. You've been busy for the past half day. Quickly go and rest.” He turned and leaned closer to Xue Ji Yun, pointing to the left side of his neck. ”It's not very comfortable here.”

Fifteen wanted to cry but had no tears. The commander's gaze was like a knife, but her master's will was not something she could go against!

Furthermore, even if Xue Qianyun was here to seek favor with her, he still couldn't outdo her. It was just a massage of the neck, not a bath for the master … But it was obvious that even Commander Jun wasn't satisfied with all of her reasons … He was releasing cold air again.

Xue Chaoyun's hand strength was not small, and the two of them had nothing to say to each other. After a quarter of an hour, Jun Ruye saw Ru Yi and yawned, then stood up and said, ”Master should rest.”

Ru Yi nodded, then turned to Xue Qianyun and said, ”You should go to bed as well. Tomorrow morning, we'll travel to Zangzhou, and then we'll be able to rest in the inn!”

Xue Ning Yun felt that Ru Yi's tone was a lot gentler than when she was talking to He Xian and the rest. His eyes flashed and he nodded slightly. He didn't want to be like the others and call her master, so he didn't say anything.

It had always been her habit to take care of him when she was young. Now that they met, although he was taller than her, she still wanted to tell him out of habit.

”Let's eat outside now. The food is simple and the place to sleep is a little simple. We have to take care of the situation. There are some rules that should be put aside for now. We can settle down in Ganzhou.”

Her voice wasn't as cold as it had been during the day, like relief or explanation. When Xue Chaoyun had finally confirmed that she treated him differently from the others, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes, but he didn't know what to say.

He wasn't an expert at changing the topic. Even after racking his brains, he could only come up with one sentence, ”Hurry up and rest.”

When Jun Ruye heard him call Ru Yi ”you” twice, he stopped looking at him and instead started to stare at Ru Yi. Seeing that she didn't seem to care at all, he was suspicious of her, but outside, as long as Xue Moyan had no ill will towards Ru Yi, he could suppress his suspicions and personally open the tent for her.

Although Jun Ruye was a vulgar disciple of a buddhist sect, he wasn't a merciful and soft-hearted person. Moreover, Emperor Qinghe had personally called out to him when they arrived. ”You must protect your daughter and protect her from harm.”

A dreamless night passed. In the morning, he had ordered Thirteen to pay more attention to Xue Da Yun, and then he heard Ru Yi say to everyone, ”When we're outside, let's take it easy. In the future, everyone can just call me Young Noble. Hmm, it's no good wishing that I'm an outsider. I'm Young Noble Su, right?”

Ru Yi got into the carriage and fifteen followed her into the carriage. In the carriage, he first helped Ru Yi change into a brocade robe, dressing up as the son of a rich family. He himself changed into the clothes of a woman, but her face was dark and she disguised herself as a little girl.

The corner of Ru Yi's lips curled up. She seemed to have thought of something as she pressed down the corner of her eyes, suppressing her smile.

The sun was setting in the west, and the city of Suzhou was bustling with noise and excitement. Ru Yi leaned against the wall of the carriage, and after a while, he heard someone say, ”Aiya, look at that man. He's so handsome!”

Someone else said from the side, ”That person is too old. Look at that person, his face is so pale …”

Ru Yi covered her mouth and snickered, while 15 also grinned. The master and servant looked at each other as if they shared a secret, and Ru Yi also had the mood to gossip as she whispered, ”Tell me, who are they talking about being old? And who are you pointing at to make your face pale? ”

Outside of the carriage, Jun Ruye's hearing was sharp and clear. When he heard Ru Yi's question, his expression couldn't help but turn solemn, while his eyes became even colder.

Xue Xianyun didn't even notice that he was being guided. He only came back to his senses when he found that everyone around him had backed away to the side, leaving him alone.

People on the street were already gossiping about whether he was engaged or not …
