Chapter 39 Where to Go

As Shui Minghan and Yun Canglan left the royal tomb, they saw gray-white clouds on the horizon. It was a frigid morning in the mountains, making Yun Canglan tremble. But she was soon dressed in a black cloak.

Shui Minghan pretended he hadn't draped the cloak over Yun Canglan's shoulders. Walking in awkward silence, he avoided eye contact.

The four subordinates who had been waiting picked her up, joyous to have her back with them. Outside the red wedding dress the black cloak was a real eyesore!

"Mistress Yun, you are awake!" The four hugged Yun Canglan. Yun Qi felt her pulse immediately.

Yun Qi closed his eyes, feeling and listening to her pulse before a smile brightened his already handsome face, "The potency of the Jiahun and Sanhun Qipo were suppressed for the moment."

Yun Qin took Yun Canglan's hand after, checking her pulse carefully. Shui Minghan thought Yun Qin's hand on Yun Canglan was obtrusive.

"Are you finished?" Yun Canglan asked.

'I am okay, much stronger than you thought. Yun Qin and Yun Qi, stop showing off your medical skills.' Yun Canglan thought to herself.

Yun Qin let go of her and grinning confirmed, "Mistress Yun, you and your baby are both healthy." He shot a fierce look at Shui Minghan.

Shui Minghan cleared his throat.

He blushed, trying to retain his composed countenance while Yun Canglan looked up in the sky clearly evading eye contact with her servants.

"Mistress Yun, what is next?" Yun Shu was the most rational as always.

"We will leave Can Kingdom." She advised her group and then considered to herself, 'Yun Canglan died. If I am seen, Huo Liuyun won't let me go.'

"Mistress Yun, will we return to the General's House? Her Ladyship has spent much of her time crying and at the funeral, she passed out four times." Yun Hua sympathized with Her Ladyship, leading her to ask Mistress Yun.

Yun Canglan mulled the idea, 'I want to go home so badly. However, the instant I do, everyone in the General's House will be slaughtered. I have no choice but to conceal my existence from even my gentle mother; there is no other way.'

"I can't return home, much as I want to. Yun Shu, I want you and Yun Hua to take care of m

ility in kung fu and everything he had to Yun Canglan.

Yun Canglan looked at him in bewilderment.

Here was Shui Minghan, known for his stoic attitude, blushing crimson red, "I mean, we have an agreement for me to act as your secret guard."

"Let me see your right hand."

Shui Minghan put his arm out for her. Yun Canglan rolled the sleeve back and saw that the red feather was straight. She could make out the vague outline of the feather-like birthmark.

"Are you sure you qualify as my private guard? You do not trust me. Perhaps your passion is fleeting, and you need my help." Yun Canglan stopped teasing, and her piercing eyes were vague, as she looked to him with quiet dignity.

Shui Minghan wondered in confusion, 'Why did her attitude change after looking at my birthmark? I examined it many times and there is nothing abnormal.

Why does she say I don't trust her?'

He smiled faintly.

'What was I was told about the mark of the seven male birds, the feathers will stretch when he trusts me or yields to me. If he won't trust me, he will surrender to me. Fearless Armour also told me I can only bear babies for the seven men with the birthmark of feathers. So, Huo Liuyun was one of the seven male birds? I am a Fire Phoenix born without feathers. When I bring together the seven feathers and unite the world, then I will be able to fly high and return to the modern world.' Yun Canglan thought to herself.

"Okay, you will travel with us."
