Unless it is a flying bird, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, it is impossible to climb up and down the vertical cliff easily.

What's more, Gu Changyuan was holding Ying Ning in his arms and could only use one hand.

He must focus all his attention and energy on his steps and hands.

Li Yingning still wanted to speak, but he pulled up his cloak and covered his head and face.

He pressed her head through the clothes and whispered: "Don't talk, it will distract me. Don't move, I don't want to bring you to pieces."

Seeing that she was indeed silent, Gu Changyuan sighed slowly, then calmed down, concentrated on climbing up the mountain.

Ying Ning felt like she was flying through the clouds, flying up and down again.

She didn't know where she was or what was going on outside.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to imitate a quail with its head shrunk since it's hard to see or hear.

Even if you fall, you won't feel scared anymore.

Although she was thinking so wildly, she finally stopped safely.

The cloak was lifted, and the dazzling sunlight made her squint her eyes unconsciously.

A ray of sunlight shone from behind Gu Changyuan, coating his whole body with a layer of golden light.

Ying Ning closed her eyes and took a moment to adjust before she could see him clearly.

"arrive."

Gu Changyuan bent down and placed her under a tree.

Ying Ning looked around and realized that this was the foot of the mountain where they parked their carriage yesterday.

However, the carriage was missing, as were Zhelan, Jinshu and Ci'er.

"Your Highness, Sixth Highness, can you bring Lu Qinghan with you?" Ying Ning asked.

"You dislike me so much, yet you beg me to help you."

"..."

Ying Ning blushed instantly.

"However, since I can refrain from killing him for you," Gu Changyuan rubbed his wrist and said calmly, "If you are willing to marry me, I can't help him."

Ying Ning said nothing.

Gu Changyuan asked again: "You don't want to marry me, but you are willing to marry Lu Qinghan?"

Ying Ning looked up at him.

"That's what Lu Qinghan said. He said that if you want to marry someone, you will only marry him."

"I did." Ying Ning admitted.

Gu Changyuan squatted in front of her and pointed at himself: "So, how am I worse than him?"

Ying Ning turned her face away: "There is no comparison with this kind of thing. I just like you, there is no reason. Even if you are a prince and have a noble status, it is not necessarily true that all women in the world will admire you."

"You have no reason to like Lu Qinghan. Then do you have any reason to hate me?"

"No."

"How could it be?" Gu Changyuan stared at the change in her expression, "There may be no reason for liking her, but there must be a reason for hating her."

Ying Ning was silent.

After a while, Gu Changyuan said: "Li Yingning, please beg me. If you beg, I will save your sweetheart."

Ying Ning glanced at him and said nothing.

Gu Changyuan smiled: "It seems you don't like Lu Qinghan that much."

"Why, if you like someone, do you have to give up all your dignity?"

"I don't know. But if it were me and someone threatened me with you, I wouldn't remain indifferent." Gu Changyuan said seriously.

"I'm not you."

"Can you bear to watch Lu Qinghan suffer down there?"

"I can't bear it," Yingning said. "Being cold down there is no different from being cold here."

"..."

Now it was Gu Changyuan's turn to have nothing to say.
