Hearing Pei Ruochen's words, Pei Liping only let out a cold laugh. "Don't tell me that your father doesn't know of such a simple logic?"

Pei Ruochen was startled, but soon heard Pei Linpu continue, "Take away He Lan Qin, His Majesty will perhaps support another general of the Heavenly Court. Xiahou cannot be the strongest of them all, but no matter which one he is, he will not be like He Lan Qin, making me feel unease."

"Father …"

"Ruochen, is He Lan Qin really as respectful as he looks? Didn't he know that this was a trap when he lent the Tiger Tally to Yi Ren? However, he still borrowed it because — "Pei Liping sighed deeply and said," That's because he has already reached the point of being fearless. Right now, the soldiers of Sky Dynasty, even the Xiahou Army, revered He Lan Qin like a war god. The threat that this general, who controls the heart of the troops, poses to the Heavenly Court is far greater than the tiger that is eyeing the Yan Nation covetously. "

"But there's no doubt that General Holland is determined to serve his country." Pei Ruochen retorted without a hint of doubt.

"Yes. He Lan Qin wholeheartedly sought to serve his country, but not his majesty." As if he did not want to continue the conversation on this topic, Pei Linpu asked again the question he had just asked. "Did you just say that you are his wife out of your own heart?"

"Yes." Pei Ruochen replied with her head bowed.

He stood with his hands behind his back for half a day, then said slowly, "I'd rather you didn't do it from your heart. I'd rather you didn't have any plans."

Pei Ruochen looked at her father, confused. Just as she was about to ask, a warrior from the Pei family ran over and knocked on the door quickly, "Prime minister, we've found the whereabouts of King Xiao Yao."

"Where's Lu Chuan?" asked Pei Linpu cautiously.

The situation when Lu Chuan first showed up was still thrilling even now that he thought about it.

The formation was so tight, it was clearly a steel bucket. But he had appeared, a man and a sword, no rules, no steps, just a sword technique that could save time, a sword technique that could transcend Fleeting Time, forcefully tearing this formation apart.

The most precise layout could not resist the most unstoppable force.

In front of that sword, all the so-called gossip was just a joke.

No one could see how Lu Chuan did it, they only knew that he had arrived. The mysterious black robes and white light flashed in front of their eyes. The warrior that the Pei Family was so proud of, the one reputed to be the unrivalled warrior of the Sky Dynasty, couldn't even take a single blow!

In the blink of an eye, the peaceful outskirts of Sui Yuan became an Asura battlefield.

Blood flowed like a river.

If it weren't for Pei Lipu's swift reaction which decisively ordered a group of people to retreat, their losses would have been far more than this.

Therefore, even if they found out about Helan Xue's news, it was still necessary to ask: Where is Lu Chuan?

The messenger had a panicked expression, but the news he brought was extremely good, "Reporting to Prime Minister, Lu Chuan is no longer here."

Lu Chuan left.

He only promised Feng Jiu to help He Lan Xue out, but he disdained to interfere in other matters.

To Lu Chuan, the exalted prime minister of Sky Dynasty was nothing more than something else.

Pei Liping felt slightly at ease, but he couldn't help feeling vexed. Ever since he had betrayed his wife, he had never been in such a sorry state. Before they had even fought, he had already fled.

Even though Lu Chuan was a person who had transcended worlds, such an existence was still too terrifying, it was too much of a threat.

However, he could not think of a method to restrain himself at the moment, so he could only keep his heart in his chest to think of a way to deal with later matters.

"If Madam Xi is here …"

He couldn't help but mutter to himself. Pei Ruochen vaguely heard the word 'Madam' and wanted to listen more carefully. But before he could do so, Pei Liping had already walked over to where the scout was hiding.

Pei Ruochen had no choice but to follow closely behind.

The reason they were sent to Suiyuan this time was to capture He Lan Xue, but if they couldn't complete the mission, it would be hard to retort.

They found the woods.

He also discovered the unusually tight security around the forest.

The guards at the outer perimeter were also in sync with the Gate of Wonders' Eight Trigrams. No one knew which expert had set them up — it should be Feng Jiu — but each treetop had an excellent secret door. Even an average martial artist would not be able to open a gate in such a position.

This formation was in no way inferior to the one that had been set up by Pei Linfeng.

On the other side, there was no one who was as inhuman as Lu Chuan.

While the scout was reporting that Pei Linpu had wandered around in a difficult situation, he saw his lover.

On the way, because of her identity, the person laid on top of the formation did not target her. To her, the layers of guards were like empty space.

Her lover had walked in unhindered, and now, she had walked out unhindered.

Pei Ruochen saw her at the same time.

Pei Linfen unconsciously let out a smile when he saw his lover. Pei Linfen had just turned around when he caught sight of her smile and his expression immediately changed. He waved his hand and a few figures followed his orders. The guards at the edge of the forest also reacted in time.

The situation was under Pei Linpu's control, and by the time Yi Jian had caught up with him, he had already been surrounded by the Pei family, and was retreating out of the forest.

Upon seeing this, Yi Jian did not have time to ponder as he sent someone to inform the king and to join the battle.

And the person that was sent to notify He Lan Xue was the guard that informed her that 'Lord Yi was trapped by the Prime Minister'.

Therefore, when Feng Jiu and He Lanxue rushed over, the battle was still in a stalemate, and the outcome was unknown.

However, Yi Jian had already displayed his defeat. The guards in the forest did not receive Feng Jiu's order, so they did not dare to leave their duties. They could only watch from the sidelines.

Her lover, on the other hand, stood in a daze amidst the flashes and flashes of swords and sabers, looking at the people around her shouting, falling and splattering their blood on the legs of her pants.

She shivered.

This was the first time she didn't understand how a battle was going on. She had never seen such a bloody scene before.

The fight on the side was still the same, but no one had hurt her. The place where her lover was was was just like a safe island on a busy road, with cars and cars coming in and out.

The first thing she saw was He Lan Xue. She instinctively wanted to go closer, but her feet suddenly moved and she stopped in her tracks.

At a distance of less than a hundred steps, the sound of swords and sabers clashing could be heard. It was a strange and cruel scene.

He Lan Xue saw the look in her eyes drift. She looked away.

He Lan Xue's heart froze.

"Prince, you can't work hard right now. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome in the future." Feng Jiu's hands were quick. Seeing that He Lan Xue had the intention to rush in, he immediately stopped her.

However, He Lan Xue didn't pay attention to Feng Jiu's warning at all: a long sword that had lost control flew out from her hand, coincidentally flying towards the Yi person.

Her lover had also seen the sword flying towards her. She wanted to dodge, but how could a mortal avoid it?

He Lan Xue's heart jumped into her throat. He broke free of Feng Jiu's restraints and jumped into the battle like lightning, throwing himself at her.

His movement technique had already become extremely fast, just like a shooting star chasing after a moon. However, it was still not enough. He helplessly watched as the sword got closer and closer to his lover.

He Lan Xue's heart was anxious. The zhenqi in her body inexplicably drained as she actually fell from the sky. Her throat felt sweet. Before she even landed on the ground, she spat out a mouthful of dark red blood.

He suddenly lost his strength. If Yi Jian, who was standing nearby, hadn't rushed over to support him, He Lan Xue might have fallen on the chaotic battlefield.

Feng Jiu, who was waiting at the side, lightly shook his head. A trace of unconcealable worry flashed through his eyes.

After taking that kind of medicine, luck was the most taboo. Furthermore, it was a suicidal move.

The remaining poison seeped into his bones.

Trouble, trouble.

Feng Jiu was very depressed: Why didn't all the patients listen to the doctor?

He Lan Xue held Yi Jian's arm in front of his chest as she watched her wander between life and death. All of this happened in an instant, and in that instant, his heart that he thought was long had ruptured once again. That kind of dull pain was even more turbulent and powerless than when Rong Xiu had personally given him the medicine.

He was completely unprepared for the departure of his lover.

He had always been too confident in her.

Just for an instant.

For a long moment.

The corner of Helan Xue's lips started bleeding again.

Her lover also thought that this life was over.

The sword light had arrived, and she subconsciously closed her eyes, the cold light coming straight at her. Suddenly, the hair on her forehead gently lifted up.

However, after waiting for a long, long time, the anticipated event didn't happen.

Her lover could not help but narrow the gap between the lines as he stared in front of him in a daze.

One hand had already gripped the sword blade, and blood was seeping out from between the gaps of his fingers. His fingers were long and slender, delicate and powerful.

Her gaze followed the direction of her arm and landed on Pei Ruochen. She had a calm expression on her face while Pei Ruochen had a graceful and upright look on her face.

"This place is dangerous. Let's go." He threw his longsword to the ground, then used his uninjured left hand to pull his lover away from the battle without a word.

"Ruochen!" Outside of the battle ring, Pei Liping's angry shout could be heard. "You want to defy me?!"

Pei Ruochen stopped and held her hands tightly. Her expression did not change much, but from her point of view, she could see the faint pain in his eyes and his predicament.

He's probably been listening to his father, thought her lover. A good boy.

"Ruochen." He Lan Xue's voice was heard, "The one you want is me, why do you want to cause trouble for the innocent? Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

He had entrusted his wife to him, and Pei Ruochen naturally remembered.

"Of course I haven't forgotten." Pei Ruochen pondered for a moment, then turned to He Lan Xue and calmly said, "But the one who put her in danger is not me, but you."

After saying that, Pei Ruochen exerted herself and her lover staggered. Then, she followed him out step by step.
