White Pear did not reply. Instead, he walked to the table by the window and lit the candle on the table.

Chen Mu Mu Mu wasn't anxious. With a flip of his hand, he closed the door behind him before walking over to Bai Li with gentle steps.

He sat down on a chair by the table and poured himself a cup of tea that had not completely cooled down yet.

"Speak, what is the purpose of approaching me?"

"Close to your goal?" Bai Li saw her deep gaze and was stunned for a moment. Her eyes flickered. "Don't tell me you think I'm with those traffickers?"

Chen Mu Mu smirked, "It's not impossible, is it?"

God knows what happened after she fell unconscious after eating the masked man's rabbit. She woke up in the carriage anyway.

The first time they met, Bai Li was in the carriage.

All the impressions began then.

She had never asked White Pear's background, nor did White Pear tell her if the White Pear was related to the trafficker. It was not impossible that he could get close to her through the hands of the trafficker, and thus achieve his hidden purpose.

After all, if an ordinary girl wanted to escape from the hands of a trafficker, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Although she had some martial arts skills, she was not the one who had contributed the most to the escape.

A suspicious pear.

Before, she was too lazy to care, but after what had happened at Ox Head Mountain, she wasn't the only one who was by her side. There were some things that she couldn't rest at ease even if she didn't ask until the truth was revealed.

She was not the kind of person who would harbor doubts and fears about taking in strangers.

Bai Li's expression stiffened. After a moment, she looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu and asked, "If I were to tell you that I'm not in the same group as the traffickers, and that you're not my captive, will you believe me when I say that we're all victims?"

Do you believe me?

There was no need to ask. He definitely wouldn't believe it.

If you believe it, why are you asking White Pear what he said?

Feeling that he had always been an honest good child, Chen Mu Mu Mu shook his head with a faint smile.

"I don't believe you."

Bai Li's face twitched and her eyes dimmed.

"I thought that after a day of interaction, we were already very familiar with each other."

The sense of trust between people was truly very thin.

The corners of Chen Mu Mu's mouth curled into a smile as his gaze turned indescribably deep under the light of the candle flame.

"But I've always felt that we weren't familiar with each other."

"What an unfamiliar person." Bai Li was very unhappy. "At least we shared hardships together. Don't you have the heart to support your friend?"

"Yes." "But that's only if I'm sure that she wasn't able to harm me."

"But I also never did anything to hurt you."

So... Are we still good friends?

Chen Mu replied her with an emoji of self-experience, but he smiled without saying a word.

Bai Li was not stupid. She met her gaze and sighed, "Don't look at me like that. I swear that I really did not do anything bad."

Hehe, would a bad guy tell others that he had done something bad?

Besides, what was the use of swearing? What was the use of swearing in black and white?

Holding her chin with one hand, Chen Mu Mu smiled as he looked at Bai Li.

"It's already at the stage of a showdown, do you think there's any meaning in saying this?"

He paused for a moment, and the smile on his lips deepened. "Or do you think that I'm joking with you?"

She wasn't talking to White Pear at all, she was giving him an ultimatum.

She had not done anything to harm Ox Head Mountain in the slightest. Even if Ox Head Mountain and the other bandits pursued this matter, she was not afraid of slanting her figure.

Even if the bandit wanted to force her to confess, he would still do it lightly for Lu Jinfeng's sake.

And White Pear...

"If you don't tell the truth, I can't cover for you."

Most importantly, she did not want to cover up for him.

She and White Pear could be considered to have met by chance. She did not even know if the reason why White Pear kept pestering her to leave was to sneak into Ox Head Mountain, so there was no need to get into a fight with the bandits just because of White Pear.

It wasn't because she was cold-blooded, but because even she couldn't see through the person called White Pear.

"If you say so, I will be frightened." Bai Li gritted her teeth, "I didn't want to come to Ox Head Mountain."

But they had to follow her, so now that they were deep inside the bandit's lair, could they blame her?

Chen Mu Mu curled his lips, "What has happened has already happened. I feel that rather than saying such nonsense, it would be more appropriate to call it a meaningful topic."

She blew on the tea leaves in her cup, "For example, your identity, how did you get caught by the traffickers, and your purpose behind following me, were the black clothed people tonight with you?"

Bai Li was stunned. "I didn't know that in your heart, there are already so many unsafe factors."

Chen Mu smiled innocently, "So, if you want to be safe, you can only resolve the misunderstanding."

Bai Li frowned, "But I don't want to reveal my identity. There are some things that I don't want to say."

"You think you still have a choice now that things have reached such a stage?" Chen Mu laughed, "I will only give you one chance, if you don't say it now, when the day breaks, I will give you to Zhan Feng."

Compared to her previous teasing, this time she was really handing over the pear.

When he handed it over earlier, he was willing to be Zhan Feng's partner, be in a relationship, be a wife. Because they were guests, they would treat him with respect and courtesy.

Now that he had handed it over, he would be handed it over as a suspect. How terrifying would the methods of a bandit be? A delicate girl in their hands would be miserable. Surviving until the end was all an extravagant request.

Bai Li wasn't an idiot. She could only hear the threat in Chen Mu's words and bit her lower lip.

"But those are my secrets."

In such a situation, how could he hide any secrets?

Chen Mu Mu smiled, "If you tell me now, and let me understand, then only I know your secret. If you don't tell me, it will fall into the hands of the people from Ox Head Mountain.

She was the first to act courteously before the rest. If she did not care about face, then of course she would not be polite.

Bai Li looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu for a long time before sighing.

"You won, I said."

Clenching his fists tightly, he took out a token from within his robes and placed it before Chen Mu Mu.

"This is my identity."

Holding the token in his hand, Chen Mu Mu Mu flipped through it, only to see that the token was engraved with simple and unadorned runic lines.

Chen Mu Mu flipped for a moment, and then placed the order badge back on the table. With an expressionless face, he said, "You should use common words to tell me your identity. I have shallow experience and am unable to discern the origin of this order badge."

Bai Li's mouth twitched as she said with an expression like she was looking at an alien. "You can't tell?"

Is it strange?

She just couldn't tell.

Chen Mu pursed his lips. "If you don't want to tell me, I can use it to ask others."

Therefore, chitchat and the like would be a waste of time.

Bai Li's face darkened, "No need, I'll tell you. This order badge is a keepsake for the royal family of Wanliu Kingdom. "

This time, it was Chen Mu's turn to look at Bai Li as if he were a retarded child.

She was a person of the Bai Chuan, was there a need to thoroughly understand foreign affairs?

Isn't it normal for people to not recognize Wanliu Kingdom?

After all, the two countries did not have any trade, nor did they have much cultural exchange.

However, the royal family of the Wanliu Kingdom …

Chen Mu Mu raised his eyebrows, "Are you not a princess of Wanliu Kingdom?"

Bai Li nodded. "I'm the Princess Qingping personally conferred by His Majesty Wanliu Kingdom."

"Heh." Chen Mu Mu Mu immediately laughed, "This is the territory of the Bai Chuan Country. You are a dignified princess of Wanliu Kingdom, why would you stay here?"

Every now and then there would be a war, especially at Yukawa, where foreigners were not treated well.

It is very serious for foreigners to be found sneaking in.

However, it was one thing for ordinary citizens or merchants to sneak in, but why would a dignified princess sneak in?

She didn't know that the Princess of Wanliu Kingdom was so close to the common people, and lived a life like that of ordinary people.

She looked at the cup of tea in her hand. Under the light of the candle flame, the tea had a beautiful luster to it.

This allowed her voice to sound better, "You might not know that a few days before I was caught by the traffickers, I coincidentally encountered the dispatch team for Wanliu Kingdom."

Since she was a princess, and had caught up with the royal family of Wanliu Kingdom, why didn't she come to the Hundred Rivers to have a friendly interaction with the team?

Also, why would a princess like her fall into the hands of a trafficker?

There were quite a few suspicious points.

Chen Mu Mu sighed, "Bai Li, there's only the two of us here, there's no need for you to lie."

Besides, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she wasn't that easy to fool.

Bai Li's eyes lit up when she heard this. She stared at Chen Mu and asked, "Did you really see the dispatch team for Wanliu Kingdom?"

Could Bai Li really have something to do with Wanliu Kingdom?

Although he was doubtful, his expression was calm. He nodded and said, "I saw it and said a few words."

"Then," White Pear's eyes lit up excessively, almost pushing down the candlelight, "You also saw the prince and princess of Wanliu Kingdom?"

Murong Yu and that unruly little princess?

"I saw it."

"Then they …" Bai Li's expression seemed to leap with joy, she almost jumped up from her chair, her eyes flowing with light, as if there were a hundred thousand reasons behind it. But when her words reached her mouth, she weakened again, "Where are they now?"

"How should I know?" Chen Mu Mu rolled her eyes. "You followed me the whole way, so you should know how many days I've been caught by that trafficker."

"Then right now, they should have already arrived at the capital of the Hundred Rivers." Bai Li's anticipation slightly waned. With a little disappointment and loneliness, she said, "This is good as well."

Naturally, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu didn't understand her words, so she asked concisely, "Since you know them, why don't you join them?"

If he had been with them, he wouldn't have been captured by the traffickers.

Bai Li's eyes flickered. She remained silent for a moment before she replied, "He didn't know that I was following him."

"Huh?" Chen Mu Mu was startled, and stared at the white and fair face of Bai Li, which had a blush on it. When she thought about the excited manner in which the Princess of Wanliu Kingdom was talking about just now, a thought involuntarily arose in her mind, "You shouldn't … "You must be into brotherhood, right?"

So he had to travel thousands of miles just to follow the steps of the one he loved?
