"It doesn't matter. If I don't even have the courage to face the past, what right do I have to talk about revenge?" Mu Qian Xue's tone was very light, so it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

After drinking the clear and cold stream water, Mu Qian Xue suddenly said: "I'm going to the pond to take a look."

"This servant will accompany you." Xia Yue had not finished speaking when she shook her head and said: "I want to walk around by myself. Help them tidy up the room."

Walking in the direction that Xia Yue pointed, they indeed heard the sound of water gurgling not long after. After walking a few more steps, they saw a mountain stream that was more than three meters wide, flowing down.

After a few dozen steps up the stream, a pond hidden in the midst of tall grass appeared in his line of sight. The jade-green lotus leaves came one after another, filling the small pond to the brim; the budding lotus flower pavilion stood on top of the lotus leaves, its pink tip peeking out like the rouge on a young girl's face.

extended a pale, almost transparent finger, and very quickly, a dragonfly stopped moving, a numbing feeling coming from his fingertips.

After he shook his arm to make the dragonfly fly fly back up, Mu Qian Xue said indifferently: "Come out."

Other than the faint sound of thunder in the sky, there were no other sounds in the surroundings. Mu Qian Xue withdrew her sleeves, turned around, and raised her eyebrows: "Still not coming out?"

This time, there was a sound of "Zhi Suo" from the dense grass, followed by the shadow of a person passing through the grass and appearing in Mu Qian Xue's line of sight.

Dong Fang Su walked out from the bushes and asked curiously: "How did you know I was behind?"

He had followed them very carefully along the way. Not to mention that Mu Qian Xue was someone who did not know any martial arts, even Shi Wu might not notice him.

Mu Qian Xue said with a smile that was not a smile: "When I went out alone, did you ever not secretly follow me from behind?" Once, when she went out of the sect, Xia Yue had casually mentioned that Dong Fang Su had also gone out of the sect earlier. She had returned half a cup of tea earlier than her, and no one knew where she had gone to.

Every time she came back, Xia Yue would give her the same answer. As long as she was not here, Dong Fang Su would definitely not be around, and every single time, he would return before her;

Dong Fang Su did not expect her to know about this, and was embarrassed for a moment. After a while, he uneasily said: "I was just afraid that you would meet with pursuers, so I followed boldly. Princess, do not misunderstand."

"I know." Mu Qian Xue interrupted him and knelt down immediately: Thank you for taking care of me all this time.

"Princess is Brother Mu's only kin, so it is only right for me to take care of him. As for the word 'thank you', I will help you take revenge in the future, so we can talk about it later."

A silver snake streaked across the sky, followed by the sound of muffled thunder. Black clouds gathered in the sky, bringing with it a tempest.

"The sky isn't right, let's go back."

After entering the Qi's territory, returning to the Northern Week is just around the corner. Have you thought about what I told you? "" Yes, I have.

"You mean Jiang Yue?"

"That's right, yesterday I was coughing so much that I couldn't fall asleep, and accidentally saw Jiang Yue staring at Shi Wu and the rest. Looking at his eyes, I'm afraid that he has already become suspicious. Mu Qian Xue deliberately emphasized the last two words.

"I know." Although Dong Fang Su's expression was somewhat heavy, he did not hesitate; even though he still did not understand the reason behind his royal father passing down the Camping to him, he was clear on one thing, and that was that the secret of the Camping must not be leaked out.

When they were passing by the stream, Dong Fang Su stopped in his tracks and stared at the flowing stream. Not waiting for Mu Qian Xue to understand his intentions, she suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed it hard into the stream, and when she picked it up, a black fish the size of a palm was firmly nailed to the sword tip. No matter how it struggled, it was unable to jump back into the water.

"I didn't expect you to have the ability to catch fish." Huan Xin folded a lotus leaf and placed the fish into it.

Dong Fang Su put his sword back in its scabbard. "A few years ago, when the Tung Ling was in danger, I was ordered by my royal father to lead the troops into battle, and this battle, one against one, for a few months, just happened to happen to be in short supply, so we were lucky to have a river between us and the Tung Ling. Before our royal brother sent the food here, we relied on the fish in the river to cover our hunger, and after coming down for a while, we did not learn anything else." Saying this, he smiled, "These days I've been eating either wild fruits or rabbit meat, deer meat and the like. I presume you've gotten tired of it. Today is the perfect time to change tastes and have some fish soup."

Mu Qian Xue smirked, "Does this mean I have to thank you again?"

"I said, it won't be too late to thank you in the future." Dong Fang Su caught the lotus leaf in one hand and propped it on top of Mu Qian Xue's head with the other, blocking more and more raindrops for her. "The rain is going to get heavier, let's go quickly!"

Shi Jiu and the rest were looking around anxiously under the eaves. Seeing that Dong Fang Su had returned, Shi Jiu immediately helped to brush off the rain on his body, "Prince, where have you been? Let this servant be worried, what if I meet with West Chu's troops, what should I do?"

"I heard from Xia Yue that there was a pond full of lotus flowers, so I went over to take a look with the Princess. Dong Fang Su wiped off the rain from his face and passed the lotus leaf that he had been holding in his hand to Shi Jiu, "I caught a few fish.

"Yes." Shi Jiu accepted the fish obediently, "There's a fire in the house, Prince, you should go in and roast it, don't let the moisture seep into your body." Until she took Yu Di and left, she did not even glance at Mu Qian Xue once.

Xia Yue made a face at her back when she left, and when Mu Qian Xue saw her actions, she laughed and knocked her forehead, "Girl, did you argue with Shi Jiu again?"

Xia Yue wrinkled her small nose and said: "This servant does not have any, she is too excessive, and could not find the Prince, so I decided to push the matter to Princess, saying that Princess kidnapped him, and that if anything happened to Prince, she would definitely not let us off, this servant was too angry, and argued with her for a while."

Dong Fang Su was just at the side, so he naturally heard Xia Yue's words, "If I let Miss Xia Yue suffer such grievances, I will properly admonish Shi Jiu, and there won't be a next time."
