Long Xiaotian was not a kind person, and wouldn't casually save a stranger.

But tonight, he had somehow managed to save this person.

The medicine was good. Not long after he had consumed it, the Great Master faintly opened his eyes.

"Benefactor!" The Great Master's voice was hoarse as if there was sand in his throat.

"Why are you here?"

"It's a long story."

The boss' eyes were filled with hatred, causing Long Xiaotian to feel as if he had found someone he agreed with him. Long Xiaotian grabbed his shoulder, and brought him back to where he lived temporarily.

When the Great Master saw the Green Wood, his eyes sharpened.

It was all this man's fault. If not for him, he would still be the overlord of the mountain. How could he be in such a miserable state?

Because the Great Master's face was covered in filth and bloodstains, coupled with the poor lighting, Qing Mu did not immediately recognize the Great Master.

However, the look in the head's eyes made Greenwood feel extremely uneasy. He gave him a few extra glances.

Long Xiaotian immediately sensed that this person knew Qing Mu!

He raised his eyebrows and ordered someone to help the big boss clean up the dirt on his body. Only then did he let him have a good rest.

"Greenwood!"

Hearing Long Xiaotian's voice, Qing Mu hurriedly went into the room and knelt on the ground, "Master, what orders do you have?"

"You know that person?"

Although it was a question, his tone was certain.

Greenwood frowned and shook his head.

Even though the boss looked at him with hatred, he still couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"Greenwood, you should know that what I hate the most is lies and deceit."

He purposely emphasized the last four words, causing Qing Mu's chaotic heart to grow increasingly nervous.

"My lord, this subordinate has indeed done something foolish. However, this subordinate's loyalty to my lord has never changed!"

Long Xiaotian coldly snorted, "Qing Mu, you better confess everything, or else, if I find out, I won't let you off lightly!"

Upon hearing this, Greenwood's heart tightened. "My lord, this subordinate has not hidden anything."

It was said that the mountain bandit's lair had been destroyed, and the loot had all been sent to the national treasury. There shouldn't be anyone left alive.

Long Xiaotian glared at him and smirked coldly.

"Let's go down."

Qing Mu looked at Long Xiaotian worriedly before he left.

After pondering for awhile, Qing Mu felt that Long Xiaotian suddenly asking this question must be related to the person he just saved.

After some thought, he slipped into the room.

At this moment, the Great Master had already cleaned up the dirt on his face. Borrowing the help of the candle flame, Qing Mu instantly recognized the Great Master.

"Why are you here?"

The Great Master opened his eyes. From the place where Qing Mu was pinching him, it seemed as if his bones could be crushed at any time.

Before he could say anything, Greenwood glared at him and asked, "What did you tell the Lord?"

No wonder the Lord suddenly asked that!

Greenwood's breathing became heavier and heavier. Just at this moment, the door to the room was pushed open.

Looking at Long Xiaotian's eyes that were filled with killing intent, Greenwood's spine turned cold. He let go of the Great Master and directly knelt down.

"My lord, this subordinate did not intend to conceal it, it's just that …"

Long Xiaotian remained silent. The glint in his eyes was as cold as a blade and firmly locked onto the Green Wood.

Greenwood was very nervous, and didn't dare to raise his head.

The Great Master felt that Long Xiaotian's temperament was not ordinary before, but seeing how the Qing Mu was so afraid of Long Xiaotian, he immediately crawled up from the bed, "Benefactor, I am the Great Leader of the mountain bandit on the mountain nearby, and I was given a beating by the Prince Chu and Princess Chu all because of him."

Hearing this, Long Xiaotian looked at the Greenwood with an even sharper expression than before.

The corners of Qing Mu's mouth tightened into a blade as he remained silent for a long time.

"Greenwood?"

This time, Long Xiaotian raised his voice, carrying an extremely dangerous killing intent.

Greenwood quickly said, "My Lord, this subordinate is only worried about Si'er!"

Long Xiaotian squinted his eyes dangerously, "Worried about Yue'er?"

Qing Mu told Long Xiaotian about his discovery, causing Long Xiaotian to ponder for a while.

If the Tian Sisi in the Ming Yuan Hou Palace right now was a fake, then the Tian Sisi who truly brought along the mother Gu must have been hidden by Xiao Qingqian.

In the huge capital, there were many places to hide people, but they were all easy to find.

So...

Raising his brows, Long Xiaotian's gaze once again fell upon Qing Mu's face, "This time, I'll remember this. From now on, let's see how you will perform!"

As if they had been granted amnesty, Greenwood immediately knelt to express his gratitude.

Long Xiaotian's gaze once again landed on the Great Master's face. The Great Master met with's pair of eyes that were as deep as an ancient well's cold pool.

"From the looks of it, you and Wei Qing have an irreconcilable relationship with each other?"

A thick killing intent immediately appeared in the Great Master's eyes. His eyes were burning with hatred, and his facial features were twisted into a ball.

"Take good care of yourself, I will naturally avenge you!"

The Great Master thought that he had misheard and said with an expression of disbelief, "Benefactor, is … is what you said true?"

Long Xiaotian half curled the corner of his mouth, and did not make a sound.

He was also curious as to why his heart was moved by pity earlier. It seemed that the heavens were helping him.

Since this person was able to occupy the mountain for so many years without being destroyed by the Northern Imperial Court, it showed that he had some ability.

After thinking about his plan, the smile on his face became even more profound. However, that smile didn't reach his eyes. It gave him an indescribably strange feeling when he looked at it.

The Great Master's breath tightened as he stared at him.

"I am not a person who talks nonsense."

The Great Master immediately expressed his loyalty, and waited for Long Xiaotian to leave. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, and laid on the bed, thinking about the scene of him taking his revenge, and being in a good mood.

Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian were prohibited from entering the Prince Chu’s Mansion, and were split into two groups, making them into people who could be bought. After exiting the Prince Chu’s Mansion, they met outside the city gates.

Xiao Qingqian left first, and after a long time, he did not see Wei Qing come, and felt very uneasy in his heart.

The sound of footsteps came. Xiao Qingqian frowned as he looked over, and a familiar figure entered his eyes.

Wei Qing poked his forehead, "Are you in a hurry?"

Xiao Qingqian nodded, "Why are you out so late?"

"Actually, I already came out a long time ago, but I saw Xiao Hanqi so I followed along."

"Crown Prince?" Xiao Qingqian frowned, "It's so late, why is he out of the crown prince's residence?"

Wei Qing scoffed, "If you want to do something tonight, it's not going to be good!"

Just like when they met up outside the city gate at night, it was very shameful.

Xiao Hanqi sneaked around, he must be planning to take advantage of the fact that they were grounded.

"Tell the dark guard to keep a close eye on his every move, and it's best if you can even record it down to a few times a day. This damned fellow, I'm afraid he doesn't even know that the emperor has been cooperating with us to make an open mind!"

Seeing her sparkling eyes, Xiao Qingqian shook his head helplessly and pulled her hand to get on his horse.
