Hua Mujiao was shocked by Bai Zhan Ke's sudden pampering. She didn't even refuse him. She just let him gently caress her head, as they were intimately close.

When he finally reacted, he hurriedly took a few steps back. Her cheeks were slightly hot. If it wasn't for the darkness of night, she would have been willing to find a hole to hide in.

"About that, I should go back now …"

Mu Jin's evasive tone and gaze made her want to leave as soon as possible.

However, the moment he turned around, he saw the darkness before him. Gritting his teeth, he smiled foolishly and turned around. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he said, "About that, I, I came out for a breezes. I forgot to return to Soo Pavilion …"

"How is he doing?" The corner of Bai Zhan Ke's mouth curved up in a smile as he looked at Hua Mu Jin from head to toe. "Why are you wearing night clothes?"

"…"

Hua Mu Jin smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to reply.

Seeing Hua Mujiao's silly smile, Bai Zhan stopped teasing her and pointed to the right, "Follow this road and turn right at the end, then turn left at the next intersection, then turn right at the next intersection and you will see the Exquisite Pavilion."

"Listen carefully, Hua Mu Jin. I will remember the way back." "Thank you, then I'll be leaving first."

Turning around, Hua Mu Jin lightly tapped on the tip of her foot. Just as she was about to leave, a warm hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"You are wearing night clothes. If you are discovered, you will be dealt with as an assassin. "It's better if I send you there. It's safer."

"Oh …"

Mu Jin nodded and 'oh', and then let Bai Zhan shake her hand and lead her back to the road of the Exquisite Pavilion. Along the way, the two of them maintained their silence. Neither of them broke the silence.

It was only until now that Hua Mu Jin finally couldn't hold it in and asked.

"Why did you help me? Are you not afraid that I really am an assassin who came to assassinate your emperor? "

"You won't."

It was just two simple words, rejecting the flower of hibiscus, but it also confirmed her belief.

"How do you know I won't? What if I am sent by someone else? Will you still help me like this? " At this moment, Hua Mujiao's words were somewhat unreasonable, but she also felt that this man beside her should be careful.

"No matter what you do, I will help you."

With just one sentence, Hua Mu Jin was doubtful, but at the same time, she felt her heart warm.

Suddenly, he stopped. Hua Mujiao's eyes were wide open as she stared at the white battle. A young and pleasant voice sounded in her ears, "No matter who you are, I will protect you for the rest of your life."

The sudden scene that flashed through her mind made Hua Mujiao clench her fists. Recently, these fragmented scenes had always inexplicably flashed through her mind. But she didn't know what the pictures had to do with her.

Shaking her head, Hua Mujiao tried her best to appear very calm.

"I can already find my way back here, don't send me back. If someone discovers us, we'll all be in trouble." Suppressing her headache, Hua Mu Jin slightly parted her lips, shook off Bai Zhan Ke's hand, and disappeared into the darkness without any more hesitation.

Looking at the disappearing figure, Bai Zhan Ke stretched out his hand as though he wanted to grab it, but when he clenched his fist, there was nothing there.

Shaking his head with a helpless smile, he turned around and left.

After returning to the Exquisite Pavilion, Hua Mu Jin first returned to her room to change clothes, then snuck into Mu Qiu's room. Seeing that she was still sleeping soundly, she laid down beside her on the bed. She was very glad that no one had noticed her this time, like a headless fly, sneaking out of the cave.

Although she had met Bai Zhan Ke by chance, she somehow trusted him to not tell anyone that she had met him.

The next day, in the morning.

"Elder sister Jin, elder sister Jin, get up, if you don't get up now, you won't be able to make it!"

Hua Mu Jin, who was still sleeping, was woken up by Mu Qiu. His eyes were hazy, as though they had been covered by a layer of gauze. He lazily sat up and yawned lazily.

"He turned his head and glanced at the half-open window, but it was only just barely lit up." Isn't it still early morning? What are you doing up so early? "

Hua Mujie was in a deep sleep, so she lay back down after she finished speaking.

Seeing this, Mu Qiu sighed before stepping forward to pull her up again.

"Don't sleep anymore. This mama had already sent someone early, saying that it was an important matter and that everyone should go to the attic." I think something happened last night. If you don't get up now, you won't make it in time. "

Suddenly, Hua Mu Jin sat up from the bed.
