Boom... Chen Ling tilted her body and almost fainted.
She looked at Xiao Yuxuan in disbelief, her voice trembling like never before, "Brother Lan... you... what you just said is not true, right..."
A trace of guilt flashed in Xiao Yuxuan's eyes, but there was no trace of regret.
"I'm sorry. You know what happened at that time... I owe you a lot. I will take care of you as my own sister in the future."
Tears welled up in Chen Ling's eyes and she tried hard not to let them flow down.
She put on an ugly smile and said with a gentle smile, "I understand, Brother Lan is doing it for grandpa's peace of mind. I know... I... I won't pester you either."
Looking at the man who fell in love with her heart, Chen Ling could no longer stop the tears from flowing out of her eyes. She could only turn her back, wipe away her tears, and said with a smile, "Brother Lan, let's call ourselves brother and sister from now on. Grandpa is gone."
,I...can I follow you from now on."
"I am wandering all over the world with no fixed abode. I live and eat in the open air with no worries about food and clothing, and...I have enemies chasing me..."
Before Xiao Yuxuan could finish speaking, Chen Ling said first, "I'm not afraid. As long as I can follow Brother Lan, Ling'er is not afraid of anything."
She was afraid that he wouldn't even let her follow him.
"Your senior brother Yang Mei..."
"Senior brother Yang Mei still wants to find his biological parents, and he doesn't like me following him. Brother Lan, I won't hold you back. If you don't want me, I... I really don't know what to do."
Xiao Yuxuan frowned.
He really didn't want Chen Ling to follow him.
But in order to save his life, she got some kind of soul-catching bell, which cost her twenty years of life.
Her grandfather died tragically trying to save him.
He really couldn't ignore it.
Reluctantly, Xiao Yuxuan could only agree.
Chen Ling wiped away her tears and finally laughed, "Thank you, Brother Lan, I will definitely serve you well in the future."
She turned around and left, then came back again without knowing what she thought of.
He was tugging at his sleeves in confusion, not daring to speak for a long time.
"Just say what you want to say." Xiao Yuxuan said.
"You...the person I like, is...is that the girl just now..."
"yes."
Xiao Yuxuan admitted it directly without even thinking about it.
Throughout his life, he only liked her.
"But she... is the empress, can you... can you accept... accept that there are so many men... men... around her..."
"This is my business and has nothing to do with you."
"I know...I know..."
Xiao Yuxuan looked at the direction Gu Chunuan left and closed his eyes in pain.
In a big mountain on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
Gu Chunuan found a poplar tree. Seeing that there was no one around, he buried the yellow talisman under the poplar tree.
"Master, there are too many poplar trees here, and they all look the same. Wouldn't it be unsafe for the yellow talisman to be buried here? Why don't I call the secret guards to send them back as soon as possible?"
"I'm afraid that the secret guards have been targeted by the Tianfen tribe. There is no safer place than being buried here. Come on, let's go find Elder Yu and his friends."
"yes."
Not long after leaving, Gu Chunuan unexpectedly met people from the Tianfen tribe.
It's just that it was no one else who stopped her this time.
But Wen Shaoyi.
Wen Shaoyi was dressed in white, standing out from the dust, with a butterfly mask on his face. His appearance was not visible, but he had an outstanding temperament, a long body, and exuded natural elegance and nobility in every move he made.
Such people can be recognized at a glance even in a crowd.
How could Gu Chunuan not recognize him?
She smiled mockingly.
"My dear Queen, you are really fast. As soon as I arrived, you were chasing me with your hind legs. Are you afraid that I will throw you into the cold palace if you leave the palace privately?"
