"Imperial … Imperial Uncle, why are you here?" Mu Zhuoyun stammered as he quickly retracted his hand.

"Has the lesson left behind by the Tutor been completed? Come take a stroll around this place." Mu Sheng was filled with anger, but he could not vent it out directly. He could only put on the appearance of an elder and ask.

While Mu Zhuo was stuttering, Xue Ruoyun also noticed Mu Sheng's arrival. His face was dark and imposing. Although he did not look much older than Mu Zhuo, the imposing aura he exuded was indeed intimidating.

"This subject's daughter pays her respect to the conquest king." Seeing Mu Sheng, Xue Ruyun hurriedly bowed.

Hearing her address him in such a manner, she did not hold back either. To think that Limitless was this polite to her, thinking that she was pretending to be gentle and skilled in front of the Crown Prince.

Xue Ruyun's bow had a deep meaning to it. Even though you weren't at ease when you were talking to Mu Ying in private, the Crown Prince was present, and Mu Ying was very dignified as well. In addition, he had already paid his respects to the Crown Prince in front of everyone. As for the conscription of the king and the Crown Prince's uncle, he had to be considerate in order to protect Mu Ying's dignity.

"It's done, it's done." The Crown Prince stuttered as he lowered his head, not daring to look at Mu Ying.

He was about to open his mouth to reprimand Mu Zhuzhe, but when he saw that the Lady Boss and the hawkers outside were also staring at him, he swallowed his anger.

"Since we're done, we should read more books about the state of peace, instead of wandering around all day." As these words reached the tip of his tongue, he couldn't help but to give some face to his nephew. He changed his tone and said, "Since everything has been completed, let's head back as soon as possible."

"Yes." Mu Zhuo knew that Mu Ying was giving him a way out, so he quickly nodded his head.

"What are you doing here?" After Mu Ying finished training Mu Zhuoyun, he greeted Xue Luoyun.

"I'm only here as a daughter. Of course I'm here to buy rouge powder. What are you doing here?" Seeing her strange question, Xue Ruoyun secretly laughed, and asked a question in reply.

As he asked this question, Mu Ying realized that this was where the girl came from. He had been too impulsive just now. "Hmm, what a coincidence. I just saw you two here, so I came in to say hello." Mu Sheng racked his brains to come up with such a lousy reason.

"Oh." Xue Ruyun thought about how, as a grand general, she was talented and resourceful, yet at this moment, she had such poor language, making it even more ridiculous.

"This subject's daughter is taking her leave." Xue Ruyun bowed, then walked out.

"I want to leave too."

"I want to leave too." Mu Ying and Mu Zhuozhi suddenly spoke in unison.

"Then, let's go together?" Xue Luoyun tentatively said. He was a bit speechless, and soon after, the three of them walked out.

Originally, Mu Zhuoyun was still in high spirits, brimming with energy and vitality. He wanted to have a casual chat with Xue Ruoyun, but he was caught off guard by Mu Sheng's appearance and didn't know what to do. The three of them walked out from the inside, one in front of the other. They were speechless, and the scene was very awkward.

Mu Zhuo's footsteps became slower and slower as he purposely fell a step behind. His hand slowly touched his chest. He had just heard from the Lady Boss that Xue Ruoyun really liked this box of cosmetic powder, so he wanted to take out the cosmetic powder that he hadn't been able to give out just now and secretly give it to her. However, just as he took the item out, he saw Mu Ying's black face shrink back.

The people on the street watched as the three walked one in front of the other. They intentionally maintained a distance of one meter. They seemed very familiar with each other, yet they remained silent and odd at the same time.

The three of them were thinking about how to break this situation, but they couldn't find a suitable topic to talk about. Just as he was struggling with himself, he heard a delicate voice sounding from the front, "Your Highness..." Following which, a lady with a radiant face and a slim figure slowly ran towards Mu Zhuoyun.

"Crown Prince, I didn't expect you to be here. I've finally found you." He saw Xue Lianqing pouting coquettishly as he threw himself into Mu Zhuo's arms.

"Why are you here? Let go." Mu Zhuo retreated continuously while avoiding Xue Lianshui.

"Eh, what is this?" Xue Lian did not seem to notice the change in Mu Zhuo's consciousness. He only felt something pressing on his head to the point of panic. Reaching out his hand, he touched it and took out the jade artifact.

"Heavens! This is the Water Powder unique to the Immortal Pavilion's Western Region! This is great! This is truly a pleasant surprise!" As Xue Lian held the jade artifact, he was extremely intoxicated and extremely excited. Every woman is crazy about good cosmetics.

"If you like it, take it. Nice to meet you. Goodbye. " Mu Zhuo saw Xue Lian's disrespectful appearance and felt utterly humiliated. As he looked at Mu Ying and Xue Ruoyun, he felt even more ashamed.

Seeing Mu Zhuo's unusual behavior, Xue Lian felt that something was wrong with her.

"What's the matter with you?" Xue Lian looked doubtfully at Mu Zhuoyun. He was winking and hinting to the side. Only then did Xue Lian shift his eyes away and look doubtfully to the side.

"So it's you. What are you doing here? It can't be that you're trying to seduce our crown prince again, right?" When Xue Lian saw Xue Lao Yun, he rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

Just as he finished speaking, he felt a tightening sensation on his shoulder and a sharp pain came from the side. Something had struck him.

"Who is it? How dare you! You actually dared to touch me … "Ah, conquest, conquest!"

Xue Lian turned his head around arrogantly, but he was so frightened that his legs went soft and the bottle in his hand almost fell to the ground. This was the Mu Ying who had warned her earlier! He hadn't thought that the other party would actually keep his word. As soon as he spoke out and humiliated Xue Ruyun, he appeared like a ghost.

Seeing Mu Rong Zhan, Xue Lian shut his mouth and didn't dare to speak carelessly again. Only after being reminded by Mu Zhuo did he quickly regain his senses and greet the two of them.

Mu Sheng originally did not like this girl, so he took a few steps forward in disgust to increase the distance between them. Xue Ruyun disliked it even more as she put on an act.

Xue Lian did not dare to say anything when she saw Mu Ying was there. However, she could be angry at Xue Ruyun. Just as she was thinking about Xue Lian, she couldn't help but start to make a scene. She leaned against Mu Zhuoyun's chest and said charmingly, "Your Highness, you said that you would give me some good rouge and cosmetic powder today. I didn't expect you would get them so quickly. I'm sorry to have troubled you so much, but even the painting is deeply moved. " As she finished speaking, she continuously turned to look at Xue Ruyun. She thought he still had some lingering feelings for the crown prince, and wanted to show off to her, using this to anger her.

Seeing her like this, Xue Luoyun felt a wave of disgust, and didn't want to stay any longer. She then said goodbye to the Crown Prince, "Since the Crown Prince has matters to attend to, this subject shall take his leave." As she spoke, she turned around and left.

Mu Zhuo stretched out his hand and was about to say something to stop him, but was interrupted by Xue Liantu: "Your Highness, I am too happy." As Xue Lian spoke, his eyes secretly stole a glance at Xue Ruoyun, and the corner of his mouth revealed a victorious smile.

This was the first time that Mu Zhuo had felt slightly disgusted with Xue Lian's painting as he watched him leave.

Seeing that Xue Ruyun had left, Mu Sheng turned around and glanced at Mu Zhuoyun before urging his horse to chase after him.
