Lu Jinfeng looked at her deeply, and replied with an irrelevant answer: "I went to the Xu family to fix the engagement today, and I knew that I wouldn't have succeeded anyway."

It was because he knew that he wouldn't succeed that he chose to walk the road of marriage.

So, he didn't like Xu Yanran? You don't want Xu Yanran either?

But what did all this have to do with her?

Chen Mu Mu couldn't help but ponder as he listened to his words, his heart inexplicably feeling much better.

Ye Xiao rubbed his palms and suppressed the thoughts in his head. He said, "That is your own problem. You don't need to tell me."

"If I don't tell you, you will mind and alienate me." Lu Jinfeng smiled as he looked at her, his eyes as gentle as ripples in water, "This is something that I am unwilling to see, and also something that I am sad about.

Chen Mu Mu's eyes twitched as her long eyelashes fluttered. She paused for a moment before raising her head to look at him. "What do you want to say?"

"I'll explain it to you." Lu Jinfeng fixed her with his gaze, which was gentle like a feather brushing against his heart, "There shouldn't be any secrets between us, right?"

Chen Mu Mu pursed his lips, "We've never been intimate before."

"But to you, I am Red city."

The youth's eyes were too beautiful, and the youth's gaze was too gentle. Ripples of water rippled through them, and they seemed to contain a myriad of emotions within, causing one's heart to palpitate.

Chen Mu Mu didn't dare to look at him in the eyes, as he shifted his gaze slightly, "That's been going on for a very long time."

"That's why I have to explain." Lu Jinfeng rested for a while, then recovered his strength and went to her side, his gaze still gentle looking at her, "After all, it was originally for your own good, but if I had lost you, then I might as well not do it."

"For my own good?" Chen Mu scoffed and shook his head, "I will decide my own life, I don't need anyone to plan for me. You are not me, so how would you know what I want? You gave it to me, so it must be something I want? "

Speaking of this, she was even more irritated.

What she hated the most in her life was doing things she didn't like in the name of being nice to her.

If it was for her own good, he should have consulted her and let her finally get what she wanted most, not what others thought they had forced on her.

"So, sorry." Lu Jinfeng did not try to defend himself, and only sighed, "Next time, I will definitely not hide anything from you."

Chen Mu harrumphed, but didn't reply.

Whether he was good or bad, round or flat, none of this was her concern.

"Actually, when we were at Xingyu Village, it was my mother's idea to go to North King Palace. North King Palace is filled with danger, I don't want to involve you in this."

Chen Mu Mu looked up in astonishment and looked at him with a shocked expression: "Your mother told you to go to the North King's Palace. Did she tell you that back in the Apricot Rain Village?"

Didn't the Madam Li not know about Lu Jinfeng's background? Why did they let him go to the North King Palace? Since Lu Jinfeng knew that the North King Palace was filled with dangers, there was no way that the Madam Li knew nothing about this.

Recalling what Madam Li had told her at the inn, Chen Mu Mu's expression sunk even further.

Was this Madam Li really the same as what she thought, a village woman who had never left the Linzhou City or left the three-star town?

Lu Jinfeng nodded, as if he had guessed her thoughts, and sighed: "My mother is not completely ignorant about my origins."

That Madam Li was pretty well-hidden.

Chen Mu pursed his lips and asked, "When did she know about this?"

"I've known since the day I was brought here to be raised." Lu Jinfeng replied.

Chen Mu Mu was speechless. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He already knew that she was his adopted son, but her eyes were sharp like his, making her unable to see through Madam Li's disguise, let alone the people from the Apricot Rain Village.

When Chen Mu first saw Lu Jinfeng and Madam Li, he knew that Madam Li had suffered greatly in order to protect Lu Jinfeng.

Could those feelings be fake as well?

Chen Mu Mu's mind was spinning, Lu Jinfeng saw her expression change, and unhappily knocked her on the head: "My mother is not as complicated as you think, she is indeed a very simple village woman, she raised me without any purpose."

Would they really instigate Lu Jinfeng to enter that wolf den in the North King Palace for no reason?

A look of disbelief appeared on Chen Mu's face.

Lu Jinfeng was a little helpless, her expression changed a little, but she shook her head: "This matter will not be clear for a while, even I am unable to make sense of it, I will tell you after I clear it up. "But my mother was indeed very good to me."

There was no need to emphasize how good it was for Lu Jinfeng, and what did it have to do with her. Even if the Madam Li had a huge conspiracy, it wasn't set up for her.

"Then, why did your mother chase me away?"

Every time she thought about what the Madam Li had said at the inn, flames of anger would rise up in her heart.

If he wanted to chase her away, she wouldn't hesitate to cooperate as long as there was sufficient reason to do so. She wasn't the kind of scoundrel who would cause unnecessary trouble to others, so why did he want to drive her away in such a hurtful manner?

A good saying, "Three winters are warm", "Evil words hurt the June cold." She could not swallow this anger.

"Don't tell me that, it's because the North King Palace is in danger. Your mother doesn't want me to take the risk, and even if you used this to deceive a three year old child, the child wouldn't believe you."

Madam Li was an ancient and traditional woman, she did not know how to fight well, nor did she scold hard enough. She was not even as experienced in the ways of the world, and Madam Li knew this well, so if she were to enter the North King Palace, the first to be in danger would definitely not be Chen Mu.

So, Madam Li was doing this for her own good, what kind of joke was this?

Lu Jinfeng rubbed his nose, feeling a little awkward. "I don't know what my mother is thinking either, but I think she's probably thinking that since she's my mother, she can risk her life for me. It's not appropriate for an outsider like you to get involved with this, so I chased you away."

Outsider...

Chen Mu sighed. He was still an outsider, an outsider.

She had lived with them for a long time, and she had already treated Madam Li and Lu Jinfeng as her own relatives. In the end, she was only an outsider in their eyes.

An outsider unworthy of being involved in their family's affairs.

"Then your mother is truly extremely good to you." Chen Mu Mu Mu spoke with mockery in his eyes, "I can die for you."

Lu Jinfeng went silent for a moment, then shot her a glance: "If it wasn't for this incident today, I still wouldn't know, that besides my mother, you would also be willing to die for me."

Chen Mu Mu chuckled, "Are you sure?"

She had never thought of dying with Lu Jinfeng, okay? Even if she had stayed back during that dangerous moment, she did not want to have to go through so much effort to save Lu Jinfeng, and even more so, she did not want to worry about her conscience for the rest of her life.

She had always been selfish. He really dared to think about dying for him!

"I'm not sure." Looking at Chen Mu Mu's expression, the corner of Lu Jinfeng's mouth twitched, "We've all lived and died together, there's really no meaning in using such an excuse to shock me."

The point was that she didn't want to have an affair with him.

Chen Mu stopped massaging his calves and looked around at the 10 square meter small cave. "Since you won't die, then go out first. If you continue to grind, then your master will probably be chopped to death by sabers."

Although she didn't like Lin Mo, but if he died that way, she would still feel a bit uncomfortable.

"You want to save him?" Lu Jinfeng shook his head, his expression was even calmer than hers, "Don't worry, he won't die."

Lu Jinfeng was even more concerned about Lin Mo than she was. If even Lu Jinfeng was not worried about Lin Mo, then Lin Mo should be safe.

As long as she did not die, she did not care what state Lin Mo was in.

However, "Your master won't die, so we still have to leave."

"It's that urgent?" Lu Jinfeng looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu who had already stood up, and revealed a strange smile: "If I'm not mistaken, those people outside are definitely not giving up, and will definitely search for us everywhere. If we go out now, we will definitely die."

If he could beat her, he wouldn't need to bring her to jump off the cliff.

Naturally, Chen Mu Mu Mu knew of this as well. Frowning, he continued, "However, we can't stay here any longer. Our inn still has matters to attend to, so we can't linger here for too long."

Lu Jinfeng disapproved and looked at her calmly: "Since you have time to come see me propose, you shouldn't be too busy."

Facing Lu Jinfeng's mischievous eyes, the corner of Chen Mu's mouth twitched.

"I'm not here to see you propose, it's because Feng Lingxiu wanted to watch the show and insisted on pulling me over."

But could these words convince Lu Jinfeng?

As expected, just as she finished speaking, she saw Lu Jinfeng's face filled with playfulness: "That's right, it's not that you want to see, it's because Feng Ling Xi wants to see."

Chen Mu Mu's face turned red.

Her personality was stubborn. If she really didn't want to join in the fun, even if Feng Lingxiu had god-like abilities, it would be impossible for her to be taken away. Since she was willing to come, it could only mean that she wanted to come. Lu Jinfeng followed Lin Mo for a while, his mind was still working, of course he wouldn't be able to hide it from him.

Chen Mu Mu Mu recalled Lu Jinfeng's earlier explanation and his eyes lit up: "Do you know who the people who wanted to kill you were today?"

"I didn't know at first, but after luring the snake out of its cave today, I managed to guess a few tricks." Lu Jinfeng's expression became gloomy, "If I'm not wrong, I might be in trouble next."

There must be trouble. Just by looking at those assassins today, one could tell how difficult it was to provoke people who want to kill Lu Jinfeng.

"Members of the Qiu Family?" Chen Mu Mu Mu tried asking, but after he asked, he rejected this possibility.

This was not the first time that the Qiu Family had made a move against Lu Jinfeng. If this time it was still the Qiu Family, Lu Jinfeng would not use such a probing method to find their path.

Being able to probe him, that could only mean suspicion and uncertainty, but Qiu Family's people wanting to harm Lu Jinfeng, that did not need to be questioned.

"No." Lu Jinfeng rejected as expected, her eyes flashed as she muttered to herself, "I suspect that it's the Ninth Prince, Qin Tianliang."

"Qin Tianshu …" This name seems a little familiar, could it be that 'Big Brother Tian Yang'? " Chen Mu murmured.

The overly intimate address made Lu Jinfeng's face darken: "You know him?"

"I don't know him, but he is Feng Lingxi's lover. He has heard of him many times before." Feng Lingxi was careless, but her judgement of others should not be too bad. At the very least, this Qin Tian Liang should have had a good character, which was why he was able to garner her favor.

Did she remember that Lu Jinfeng had only been in the capital for half a month and he had already caused a disaster?

"How did you offend him?"
