Chu Molan looked at her with interest, his lips curling into a faint, interesting smile.

"Then, I'll have to thank Your Highness."

"As you wish."

On the other hand, Zhi Yu, who was intelligent, twitched his mouth. This Princess Zhaoyang really knew how to talk, she had obviously wanted to find them to help with something, but had instead said that it was a chance for them to show off their skills.

So, shouldn't they thank her? Thank her for giving them the chance?

He never thought that although Princess Zhaoyang looked like she wasn't that great, she was actually so smart! However, they were obviously bullied. As their master, was the prince really not going to say anything?

Thinking like this, Zhi Yu slightly turned his head, and his gaze landed on Chu Molan who was sitting on the chair. He secretly shot Chu Molan a glance, hoping that he could say something.

Although their relationship might appear to be that of guards on the surface, in truth, he was friends with Bai Feng.

But unexpectedly, Chu Molan didn't pay attention to his pleading eyes, as his eyes never left Gu Qinglan's body and simply couldn't tolerate anything else.

From the looks of it, their prince was really going to recruit this ugly princess.

After silently sighing in his heart, Zhi Yu's face did not move at all, and was still paralyzed. No one would have thought that in that short period of time, he, who was hiding behind that paralyzed face, would actually have so many thoughts in his heart.

"Princess, how do you wish for us to display our skills?" Zhi Yu immediately went straight to the point.

"Looks like you're smarter than him." With regards to Zhi Yu's question, Gu Qinglan was extremely satisfied, and in his eyes, there was an additional hint of praise.

She had purposely put on an act just now and didn't explain the situation clearly. She wanted to see how smart the two of them were.

If both of them had low IQ, then she didn't want to ask them to help her because that would only ruin her plans.

However, after this test, although not both of them passed, at least one of them had an IQ that was online, that was enough.

"Princess, what do you mean? What do you mean Zhi Yu is smarter than me? "Does the princess mean that I'm very stupid?" Bai Feng had always been a straightforward person, so how could he endure Gu Qinglan saying that he was not clever?

Facing Bai Feng's questioning, Gu Qinglan did not plan to answer. She only looked at him with a bland smile, and did not say a single word.

Her gaze seemed to have already answered Bai Feng's question.

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Let's demonstrate your skills first. Otherwise, if it's not too late, I can only turn into ashes for the rest of my life to see."

Gu Qinglan fanned the smell of burning oil in front of him, causing her nose to feel uncomfortable.

Being calm in the face of danger, this was another feeling Gu Qinglan gave him at this time.

"Tell me, what do you want Bai Feng and Zhi Yu to do?" Chu Molan who had been silent all this while could not help but speak, his tone was filled with anticipation.

"It's very simple. Just ask them to help me tie up my good sister and leave her in my room." Gu Qinglan shrugged her shoulders slightly and said indifferently.

"You want Li Dai Tao to freeze?" 's dark eyes flashed with a different light.

"Not at all."

His mother actually wanted to burn him to death, so in this kind of situation, he should be sad. However, Chu Molan didn't see any sign of sadness on her face.

At first, he thought that she was just a good disguise, but after careful observation, he realized that this little thing wasn't a disguise. She truly didn't care at all.

It looked like the relationship in the general's manor was quite mysterious.

However, this kind of Gu Qinglan actually made Chu Molan's heart ache a little. It was hard to imagine how such a little girl could survive from such an environment.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that? Sympathy for me? "Forget it." Noticing the look in Chu Molan's eyes, Gu Qinglan was immediately dissatisfied, and his eyes became even more disdainful.

Please, she didn't need sympathy, because she wasn't Gu Qinglan at all, so her so-called mother was a stranger to her.

If a stranger tried to hurt you, would you feel sad? It's not going to be good at all! What's more, she, who grew up in the Devil's training camp, didn't even know what sadness was.

"Alright, no sympathy."

What he did not know was how enchanting he looked with a doting smile on his handsome face. Even Gu Qinglan, who thought that she had no interest in men, couldn't help but be a little absent-minded when she saw this.

"Your Royal Highness, should we go and kidnap him now?"

Chu Molan didn't say a word, and only looked at Gu Qinglan.

Bai Feng and Zhi Yu also looked at her, upon seeing everyone's gaze, Gu Qinglan finally regained her senses, and pretended to be calm: "Sorry, I'll continue with my plan."

"Bai Feng and Zhi Yu, I'll have to trouble you two to tie up my sister and throw her into my room. After the fire sets, I'll find a chance to save her."

Both of them were puzzled. They even doubted what they had heard. After all, they had spent a lot of effort to tie up a person and yet they had to save him. What... Isn't that a contradiction?

"Princess, can you tell me why this is happening?" Bai Feng was just like a curious baby, his eyes full of curiosity.

"I'll tell you when this is over. If you keep asking, we'll all be burnt to ashes." In the face of Bai Feng's questions, which came three times, two times, Gu Qinglan seemed a little impatient. This guy's IQ was not high, and he was still so shy.

Helplessly rolling her eyes, she could only look at Chu Molan.

"Bai Feng, Zhi Yu, do as the princess says." Receiving Gu Qinglan's gaze, Chu Molan immediately said, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"This subordinate will take his leave."

He cupped his fists and said to Chu Molan, and Bai Feng and Zhi Yu left immediately to carry out their orders.

Just that before he could reach the door, Zhi Yu was called back by Chu Molan. The two of them whispered to each other at the side, not knowing what Chu Molan had instructed him to do.

In the room, only Chu Molan and Gu Qinglan were left.

"My prince, I'll have to trouble you from now on." Smelling the smell of the burning oil in the room getting stronger, Gu Qinglan did not have time to play with Chu Molan anymore.

"Speak, how do you want me to help you?" Chu Molan asked at a moderate pace.

"His Royal Highness' guard skill is not bad, I believe your guard skill is also not bad. I hope that his Royal Highness can use his Qing Gong to bring me away from the General's Estate without anyone noticing."

Originally, the master of this body's qinggong was pretty good, but after she was poisoned, all of her inner strength disappeared. It could be said that all of the martial arts belonging to this body's master had disappeared.

In the modern world, Gu Qinglan was extremely skilled, but that was only in terms of martial arts. She did not know a thing, otherwise, she would not have asked Chu Molan for help.

No matter what, she would always like to show her strongest side in front of others. However, showing off to Chu Molan did not make her feel particularly uncomfortable.

"I'll take you away, of course. But if I do, how will you repay me?" Chu Molan said indifferently, but his dark black eyes seemed to be brewing with something.

"Chu Molan, the great First Prince, don't you feel that you're not a gentleman enough to say such words?" Even though his heart was filled with dissatisfaction, Gu Qinglan still tried his best to restrain himself.

This damned Chu Molan actually took advantage of the situation to sneak in! But she needed his help!

Chu Molan laughed sinisterly, his eyes full of ridicule and complacency.

Seeing Chu Molan's despicable appearance, Gu Qinglan felt so infuriated that he almost died from anger. A pair of fists that had been clenched so tightly that the veins almost appeared on them.

A warrior could be killed but not humiliated! Although she really needed help, it was not to the extent that she could throw her dignity behind just for such a small matter.

She refused to believe that without Chu Molan's help, she, Gu Qinglan, would not be able to leave the General's Estate! Thinking about this, Gu Qinglan immediately turned around and walked out the door.

Behind him, when Chu Molan saw this Gu Qinglan, the smile on his face became even wider. This little thing was so interesting that it exceeded his expectations.

Not only was it interesting, it also had a lot of backbone.

Didn't ask for his help? And if he wants to help?

Chu Molan suddenly walked forward quickly, with his extended arm, Gu Qinglan's weak and frail body was pulled into his embrace.

"You …"

Being frightened by her sudden actions, Gu Qinglan raised his head and looked at the man who hugged her tightly, wanting to ask her something.

Chu Molan then made a "hush" gesture to her, and before Gu Qinglan could react, the two of them rushed out of the door and leaped up.

In just a short moment, they were firmly standing on top of the roof tiles. However, they didn't make the slightest sound and were completely silent.

In that moment, Gu Qinglan felt as if she was flying. Although the time she stayed in the air was very short, that light and carefree feeling made her little heart fiercely beat a few times.

He could fly over walls, tread on snow without leaving a trace, or something else … The current Gu Qinglan was unable to find any words to describe her qinggong.

This man's martial arts were truly good!

After Gu Qinglan secretly sighed with emotion in her heart, she realized that Chu Molan did not bring him away from the General's Estate, but rather placed her on the roof.

Could it be that this damned scoundrel wanted to seize this opportunity to threaten him?

"Chu Molan, you can't be thinking of adding insult to injury even now, right?"
