Chapter 442 - Challenges (1)

After being stunned for a brief moment, Ji Man jumped up like a spring. She quickly put on her clothes and washed up. Her actions were so swift that it startled the young servant girl.

Nie Sangyu's cedar tree cloak was still lying on the side. Ji Man pursed her lips and looked at it for a moment before she solemnly put it back into the wardrobe.

It didn't matter if her return to modern-day was only a dream or if it was something else, the first thing that she had to do right now was stop Ning Yuxuan from leaving.

He couldn't go to the military training field!

She had hated him as well as loved him for a long time on Nie Sangyu's behalf. Nie Sangyu's had died because of him in her previous life. And yet, her wish wasn't for him to fall in love with her or for him to do something for her. She merely wanted him to wear the cloak that she had embroidered.

That foolishly stupid woman had made her take such a long circuitous route for nothing. She had thought that a woman with a one-sided love would become mad with the desire to capture the man's heart. But, as it turned out, what Nie Sangyu wanted was so little.

It was so little that she felt bad for her.

The way she loved him was wrong, and her actions had been wrong too. Even if she had done all of those things out of love, it was still wrong. Ji Man could only wish that in Nie Sangyu's next life, she would be born to a good family and fall in love with the right person.

After closing the wardrobe's doors, Ji Man lifted up her skirt and rushed out of the room.

Qian Yingchen was waiting outside. Seeing Ning Yuxuan coming out, he quietly said, ”Marquis, everything has been arranged on the training grounds. Will you be taking Miss Nie with us?”

Ning Yuxuan pursed his lips and walked out the courtyard. ”Yes, she's coming. She's said that she's going to give me a cloak too.”

Qian Yingchen nodded. When the two of them left the western courtyard, they saw Nie Sangyu sprinting over here and running straight into Marquis Moyu's chest.

Gasping for breath, Ji Man raised her head and said, ”My lord, don't go to the training grounds. There's an ambush there. The emperor wants to kill you!”

Qian Yingchen and Ning Yuxuan's expressions changed.

Ji Man was surprised that Ning Yuxuan's first response was to cover her mouth. She anxiously looked him straight in the eyes.

Ning Yuxuan drew in his breath, looked around, and lowered his voice to ask her, ”How... how did you know about this?”

Ji Man pulled his hand away. ”I'm a celestial immortal. Did you forget? Anyways, you can't go!”

Qian Yingchen looked at her as if she was crazy. A celestial immortal? Haha.

Ning Yuxuan stayed silent for a while, then lightly sighed and asked, ”Do you trust me?”
