C8

There were two figures running in the front and back of the small forest. After they were sure that they had lost the pursuers, they took a break and both hid in the forest.

Lu Haoran leaned against a tree as he panted heavily, sighing with emotion: "Today is the seventh batch." Being chased everyday was something no one could endure, not to mention that Lu Haoran's Qing Gong was only at the intermediate level.

"You should be glad that these are all small characters. You should consider them as Qing Gong."

"Even my Qing Gong is not that much better!" Lu Haoran fiercely glared at Yue Zijun, not knowing how many times he had exclaimed that the man in front of him was actually able to maintain his cool and elegance under such a miserable situation. Look at his hair, not a trace of it is messy, his clothes are clean and tidy, his breath is orderly!

On the other hand, he himself … Sigh!

"Is there no other way?" Dodging was not Lu Haoran's nature, he was tired of playing cat and mouse with others.

Yue Zijun laughed and asked: Could it be that Young Master Lu prefers unnecessary fighting?

Of course, fighting was not Lu Haoran's nature, if not he would not have the nickname of Gentleman's Blade.

"I mean, maybe there's another way."

"I thought I already understood it when you sent Miss Qian all the way to the Tian Xin Building!" Yue Zijun pretended to be surprised and asked: "So you still have delusions about those people?"

"I believe that not all sects are unreasonable people." Lu Haoran still maintained his view, thinking that she could reason with him.

Yue Zijun sighed lightly and said softly, "A fool is a fool, even a fool would be so cute!"

"What?"

"Nothing, let me ask you, why is everyone so focused on Green Isolated Palace?"

"It's because they don't care about human life, they won't even let a child go!"

"You saw it?"

"…" Lu Haoran was speechless, of course he had heard of all these things. But in the recent years, with so many children mysteriously disappearing, there should be a connection between Green Isolated Palace and this! "

"Are you so sure?"

"…" Lu Haoran was a little stuffy at Yue Zijun's attitude, and asked back: "Then what makes you think it's not Green Isolated Palace?"

Yue Zijun laughed instead: "When did I say it's not Green Isolated Palace?"

"You!" It was only then that Lu Haoran realised that Yue Zijun was just teasing him. This feeling made him feel uncomfortable, as though he was an idiot playing around, even though he often heard Yue Zijun calling him an idiot.

"Alright, keep running!"

"Huh?"

"The pursuers are here!"

"Again?"

He still remembered that day at the Tian Xin Building, Yue Zijun said that she would send Qian Piaoxue up the mountain.

Lu Haoran thought about it, and felt that it made sense, since Qian Piaoxue had escaped from the Green Isolated Palace and the Central Plains Martial Forest would not let her off, and even the Green Isolated Palace was said to have troops chasing after her. He didn't know why Qian Piaoxue left the Green Isolated Palace, but he couldn't bear to see her being forced so badly without a way out. In the end, she agreed to Yue Zijun's request and helped to escort Qian Piaoxue together.

The way Yue Zijun gave them to others was very strange. He and Lu Haoran swaggered out of Yangzhou City with Qian Piaoxue, letting the world know that they were the ones who protected them. But on the way, Lu Haoran noticed that Qian Piaoxue had suddenly disappeared, and when he asked about Yue Zijun, he was not surprised at all. He replied: "That is a servant by my side, she has already recovered her original appearance and returned back to her Tian Xin Building."

"Then... What about the Miss Qian? "

"Of course they arranged for another group of people to escort them north! You don't think it's safer for her to follow us, do you?! "

That's right, they were targets on the path of martial arts right now. Even if one had the best martial arts to follow them, it would not be safe.

"Then wouldn't it be dangerous if we followed the Miss Qian north?" Luring the tiger out of the mountain was the best plan, they shouldn't have been travelling on the same path as Qian Piaoxue.

Yue Zijun smiled slightly, and praised: "To think that you would still have a time to think."

Lu Haoran was displeased when he heard it. He had never been stupid, he was just a little clumsy when compared to Yue Zijun.

"That's why we don't go to the other side of the city."

"Where to?"

"To … Beijing … City!"

"Beijing?"

Yue Zijun laughed: "Don't you know that the Emperor is recruiting candidate lady s into the palace?"

Lu Haoran was startled, she was quiet for a long time before asking with suspicion, "You want Qian Piaoxue to enter the palace to become a candidate lady?"

"That's right, but I just want others to think that's the way it is." Yue Zijun took a sip of tea and asked: Where do you think is the safest place in the world? No matter how powerful the sects were, they wouldn't dare to openly go against the emperor, right? As long as the people of this world think that Qian Piaoxue has entered the palace and been elected to the candidate lady, we will be able to retreat! "

"But …" "But the fact is …"

"The truth is unimportant, the important thing is that Qian Piaoxue has the qualifications to be a candidate lady, so she can definitely make people believe that she has the qualifications to be a candidate lady! And we are the Flower Protectors who safely escorted candidate lady into the capital, aren't we? "

Seeing Yue Zijun's assured smile, Lu Haoran finally understood how scary this person was. No wonder the people who were chasing and killing them were acting in secret and didn't dare to blatantly stop them. So it turned out that Yue Zijun was already prepared. The title that he had on his list was to be the emperor's messenger in a popular talent show, and Qian Piaoxue was given to the emperor's candidate lady. If they wanted to capture the emperor's future woman, they would have to fight against the imperial government.

Lu Haoran suddenly felt lucky that he hadn't gone against Yue Zijun. Against such a person, even if Lu Haoran had more than a few heads, he would still not be a match.

"Then do we still have to run?"

"Of course we have to lure them away, I have arranged for three palanquins to enter the capital, but they will very quickly realize that none of them are Qian Piaoxue. Only by capturing us can we truly grasp Qian Piaoxue's whereabouts. Do you think we should chase after him? "

Lu Haoran held his head, screaming for a headache, causing Yue Zijun to laugh. He said unwittingly: "You don't like to use your brain, so you always lose to me."

Lu Haoran was startled, and asked: "When did I compete with you?" All along the way, he had only listened to Yue Zijun's arrangements. He would do whatever Yue Zijun said, how could he lose to him?

Yue Zijun realized his mistake and turned around with a straight face: "Alright, enough rest early. We still have to play tomorrow!" With that, he turned around and returned to the bedroom next door.

Lu Haoran stared at the floor in a daze, and it was only after a long while that she spoke, as if she was talking to herself, "Yue Zijun! "You must have been hiding something from me …"
