After hearing Wei Qing's explanation and looking at the blueprint, the Landlord Wang was really interested.

Xiao Qingqian's face was black, the pressure from his body made everyone feel extremely cold.

Wei Qing kicked Xiao Qingqian when no one was watching, reminding him to not scowl, as if someone owed him money.

Xiao Qingqian glared at her and extended his hand.

The old man had an apologetic look on his face. "Obviously, you two have decent statuses. I'm truly sorry for having this young master help dig up the ground."

"Uncle, you don't need to apologize, he's willing!" Wei Qing replied with a smile.

Landlord Wang tried to recall exactly where he had met Xiao Qingqian before.

When he recognized Xiao Qingqian, he couldn't help but shiver.

Previously, Xiao Qingqian had brought along the Princess Chu to privately interview, punish corrupt officials, and investigate a suspicious case.

He reckoned that this time, he brought the Princess Chu with him to have a private interview.

After inviting the two to a room at the back, Landlord Wang knelt down with a 'putong'.

"This humble one was blind, I waited for Prince Chu and Princess Chu slowly!"

"You get up first." Xiao Qingqian said.

Although Landlord Wang pretended to be fine, everyone still felt that Wei Qing and her excessive care for him was strange.

Wei Qing felt a little awkward, before sshe could finish eating the Flowing Water Mat, he was already prepared to leave.

Landlord Wang quickly chased after him, "Prince Chu, Princess Chu …"

Wei Qing's face darkened.

"No no no, Young Master Xiao, Madam Xiao … "No, no, no, that's not appropriate either …"

"Whatever, just say it." Wei Qing said impatiently.

"Now that I know who you two are, I can't let you two down."

Wei Qing glanced at Xiao Qingqian.

Xiao Qingqian's eyebrows were almost twisted into a lump, "This king appreciates your good intentions. "If you don't want to show off, then so be it."

Landlord Wang's mouth was agape, afraid that he would offend the two of them.

After walking for a short distance, Wei Qing suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" he asked, frowning.

"It's nothing. Don't waste your energy. It's better to go back."

In such a remote place, there were still people who could recognize them.

No matter where he went, Xiao Qingqian could not get rid of his prince identity.

And there was no need for him to abandon everything for her!

He stopped and held her arms with a dark expression. "If you still don't believe me, then leave the capital and find a place that no one knows."

Wei Qing looked at him without blinking. Honestly speaking, she felt everything he had done recently, and it wasn't that she couldn't help but be moved.

However, she just felt that something was wrong.

"Xiao Qingqian, just treat me as a coward and do not bravely take this step forward. "Because …"

"Because of what?" His tone was urgent and his gaze aggressive.

"Because no matter how much you do, I won't change my mind."

"You're lying!" His tone was incomparably firm, and the strength that was holding her arms continued to increase. "Wei Qing, look at my eyes."

What she was about to say was definitely not that.

Xiao Qingqian covered her mouth, and the words that he did not have the time to say slowly slid down his throat.

The atmosphere suddenly became very depressing.

Glimmers danced in Wei Qing's eyes as she said, "Let's go back."

Xiao Qingqian fiercely clenched his fist, the pain from his palm suddenly transmitted into his heart.

"Wei Qing, I won't give up on you! "If you are a coward, then I will be your guardian."

Coward, Guardian...

These six words resonated in Wei Qing's mind time and time again, causing her heart to tighten.

Just after returning to the old grandpa's house, Landlord Wang sent someone over to deliver some food that was still useful to the two of them.

Wei Qing's forehead was twisted into a knot. They had already made it clear that they did not want him to spread the news, but he still did it.

As Xiao Qingqian looked at these things, he knew that the hidden guards would very soon find him.

"You still don't plan to go back?" Wei Qing looked at him very seriously, "Being willful once is fine."

"I can really throw away everything for you, but is it willfulness in your eyes?"

His heart was in pain, so Xiao Qingqian was already unable to determine whether it was because of the Awakening Dan or because of her hurtful words.

Wei Qing pursed her lips, "That's right, willful!"

Xiao Qingqian only grinded his teeth and squeezed out three words after staring at her for a full minute.

They bid farewell to the old man and prepared to leave.

Before she left, Wei Qing told the old man about the cultivation of water, which caused the old man to nod his head.

Wei Qing suddenly realised that they were not heading in the same direction she was heading in. She pulled on Xiao Qingqian's sleeves fiercely: "Did you go the wrong way?"

Xiao Qingqian turned his head, "Since you say I'm unruly, then I'll completely be unruly and unruly."

Wei Qing knew that he was truly angry and would very likely leave the capital soon.

If she were to just leave like this and miss out on participating in the four empires' talent competition, wouldn't that be a loss as well?

"Xiao Qingqian, I apologize to you for what I just said. I shouldn't have questioned your feelings for me. Let's go back. "

Xiao Qingqian's face was a little pale, he turned and looked at her, "Really?"

Wei Qing nodded, "I do."

"Alright." The corner of his mouth slightly curled up.

The two of them went back the way they came from, causing Wei Qing to suddenly feel that something was amiss. Just as she was about to shout for Xiao Qingqian, he fell down.

Xiao Qingqian's expression changed as he grabbed her wrist.

Wei Qing looked down at the sharpened bamboo shoot below him, her face as pale as paper.

If Xiao Qingqian had not grabbed her just now, she would definitely have been pierced like a hedgehog.

Xiao Qingqian's palm was in great pain, he used his strength to pull Wei Qing up.

Wei Qing heaved a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay!"

"Wei Qing." He suddenly called out in a low voice.

Wei Qing tilted her head and looked at him, "What?"

"When you were about to fall, who were you thinking about?"
