The two exchanged greetings for a while longer before Yun Ruo Yao reluctantly left. At the same time, Yun Ruo Lu's heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.

When it was almost nighttime, Yunluo had asked early to find out where Yuchi Xuan was at night. After dinner, he went straight to his room to look for someone.

When Yun Ruo came to Yuchi Xuan's room, he was still reading a letter. He didn't know what the letter was about, but he seemed to be in deep thought.

"What's wrong? What happened? "

Yun Ruo walked into the room and asked casually, wanting to see the contents of the letter. Before she could get close, Yuchi Xuan had already put the letter away.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that the border is a bit unstable."

Yun Ruo knew that Yuchi Xuan had always been in charge of matters regarding the border. Although he had been in the capital all this time, as long as there was any movement at the border, someone would send a letter to him.

Thus, because of this, she didn't suspect Yuchi Xuan too much. After all, men never liked women asking questions about military matters.

"What is it? What's the matter? "Why did you think of coming to find me today?"

A hint of a smile was on Yuchi Xuan's face. His entire person didn't look gloomy like Yuchi Chen. On the contrary, he always gave off the air of a gentleman. His every move and gesture would attract the attention of others.

As the saying goes, one doesn't come to the Three Treasures Palace for no reason. Yuchi Xuan didn't find it strange that Yun Ruo Lu had taken the initiative to come looking for him. He knew that something must have happened to her.

Speaking of the reason for her visit, Yun Ruo Lu's face immediately became gloomy, and she questioned: "Why did you leave my sister alone? Isn't she good? Since you've chosen to marry her, you shouldn't have let her stay in her room alone every night! "

"Did you come here to ask me this? Yun'er, do you know that I was forced to marry your elder sister. "

Yuchi Xuan's brows were deeply furrowed, and his expression was one of deep remorse. His deep eyes were concealing an unfathomable emotion.

As far as she was concerned, Yuchi Xuan City was much more important than Yuchi Chen. Initially, she had thought that if they shared life and death situations, they would understand each other very well. But now, it seemed that she had been wrong from the start!

"I don't want to hear it! Are you trying to make my sister a widow? You might as well give her her freedom so that she can find a man who truly loves her! "

Yun Ruo You shook her head, indicating that she wasn't willing to listen to his excuse. Her determined tone was filled with ill intent, and her anger was obvious.

Hearing Yun Ruo's words, Yuchi Xuan felt a pang of grief, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Yun'er, don't tell me you don't understand this duke's intentions at all? If it wasn't for you, This King wouldn't have to put in so much effort! "

Yuchi Xuan said in a low voice, as though he was doing his best to control his emotions. His wounded eyes were filled with worry.

"I don't care what you've done, and I don't need you to do anything for me! In short, for the sake of my sister's happiness, we cannot be together! "

Towards Yuchi Xuan's previous words, Yun Ruo felt a trace of fear. What did it mean to put in so much effort? What did he do?

"Yun'er, listen to me. I will think of a way to make up for the harm that I have done to your sister. But in this life, I only want to be together with you!"

Yuchi Xuan became agitated. He even reached out to grab Yun Ruo Lu's arm, wanting to pull her into his embrace.

Yun Ruo Lu resisted with all her might, shaking off Yuchi Xuan's hand and feigning indifference. "Forget it! In the end, it's impossible for us. It's fated by the heavens! "

After Yun Ruo Lu finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave. When she reached the door, she paused for a moment and added, "My sister is a kind and good woman. Don't disappoint her."

The reason she said this was because she could tell from her conversation with Yun Ruo Yao that she liked Yuchi Xuan.

Watching Yun Ruo's back as she left, Yuchi Xuan clenched his hands into fists and slammed them on the table.

He liked her, but he would not force her!

Yun'er, you clearly have me in your heart, why must you so cruelly choose to give up! This is unfair to you and to me!

Yuchi Xuan sighed to himself, and his deep eyes suddenly turned fierce. He would kill whoever got in his way!

When Yun Ruo Lu came out of Yuchi Xuan's room, she quickened her footsteps and even ran out of the palace, arriving in the bamboo forest not too far away from the mansion.

There was a small stream that flowed through the bamboo forest, and it was very quiet at night. Although it was already winter and the night wind by the stream was especially cold, Yun Ruo Lu did not feel cold at all.

The conversation she had just had with Yuchi Xuan was still going through her mind.

Before this, Yuchi Xuan had never expressed such deep love for her. If this was the past, she would have thrown everything aside to choose to be with him at any cost.

However, everything was different now. Everything had changed in a flash. If they were destined not to be able to be together, why would she need to hurt so many innocent people!

Yun Ruo found a large rock by the stream and sat down. She silently looked at the dark night sky by herself. The night scenery of the moon and stars actually made her sad.

"Why are you sitting here alone?" Since he's unhappy, why must he stay by his side? "

While Yun Ruo Lu was still in a daze, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded from behind her. "When Yun Ruo Lu turned around, she saw a man wearing a silver wolf tooth mask standing not far away from her.

"It's you?"

Yun Ruo Lu was not unfamiliar with this masked friend of hers. He had helped her many times before, and each time was when she was in danger.

Even so, she had a faint feeling that they weren't friends.

It was because the black-clothed man's deep eyes were too mysterious. It was as if there were many secrets hidden within them. Those were secrets that she would never be able to touch. Naturally, they included his true identity as well.

"I don't know what you were saying just now. Don't disturb me, or else I'll be rude to you!"

After being disturbed, Yun Ruo Lu appeared to be very dissatisfied. Especially since someone had spied on her, she felt even more displeased.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to have something you're unwilling to face! I thought you could really take anything! "

The black clothed man was not angered by Yun Ruo's unkind tone. Instead, he started to laugh, and the words he said made it seem as if he understood her very well.

"Who the hell are you?"

Yun Ruo Lu looked at the masked man in black warily. She could feel a familiar feeling from him, but felt that it was impossible because she couldn't connect the person in front of her with him.

"Who I am is not important, but you, do you want to know the whereabouts of your bandit friends?"

The black clothed man suddenly changed the topic. Yun Ruo Lu did not know what his motive was, so she pretended to not care and replied: "They are doing well, so you don't need to worry about them!"

"Oh? Is that so? Is it okay to lose an arm even if it's dead or injured? "

A cold smile appeared on the face of the man in black. However, Yun Ruo Lu could feel that not a single word he said was a joke.

"What did you say?" What kind of death or injury? Where is Ling Xiao now? "

Yun Ruo Lu asked nervously. She suddenly had a bad feeling about this, and was even more worried about the safety of Ling Xiao and the rest.

"If you really want to know the truth, then come with me."

After the black clothed man finished speaking, he turned around and left in large strides. Yun Ruo Lu hesitated for a moment, but still followed him.

Along the way, the two of them did not speak again. The strange atmosphere made people breathe more carefully, and Yun Ruo Man felt her heart tense up for no reason.

She was suddenly a little afraid of knowing the truth, afraid that things might turn out as the man had said.

After walking for about an hour, the black clothed man wearing the wolf fang mask brought Yun Ruo Lu to a small garden not far away from the city.

The garden was surrounded by wooden fences. Inside, there was a wooden house that could only fit one person. Outside the house was a small vegetable garden that looked like an ordinary farmhouse.

When Yun Ruo Lu walked into the flower garden, she saw Ling Xiao standing at the entrance looking at her, so she walked over with large strides and asked: "Ling Xiao, are you alright? Didn't I tell you to bring our brothers back first? Why are you here alone? "What about the others?"

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu here, Ling Xiao was also very excited. His pale face revealed a look of joy.

"Advisor Yun, how did you find this place? I was just about to go look for you! "

"Go!" Let's go inside and talk! Ling Xiao, you … Your hand... "How could that be?"

Yun Ruo Lu was ready to pull Ling Xiao inside the house to talk to him, but she only managed to grab onto one empty sleeve. It was at this moment that she realized that Ling Xiao's right arm was broken!

Looking at Yun Ruo Lu's flabbergasted expression, Ling Xiao could only bitterly smile. His tired eyes were actually filled with hatred.

"Both of you, go in! I'll stand guard outside the door for you. Didn't you want to know what happened? Let him tell you himself! "

At this moment, the man in black walked over, and pushed Yun Ruo Lu and Ling Xiao into the house. He was standing guard outside the door, so that no one could eavesdrop or kill anyone on the way.

He knew very well what Yuchi Xuan was capable of!

Yun Ruo nodded her head and entered the house with Ling Xiao, closing all the doors and windows tightly. After seeing Ling Xiao's severed arm with her own eyes, she had believed more than half of what the black clothed man had said earlier, so she had no choice but to be cautious.

After not seeing Ling Xiao for a few days, Ling Xiao looked especially old, as if he had aged several years. Yun Ruo guessed that it must have been due to him escaping from death, having gone through the state of parting from death.

"Ling Xiao, tell me everything, what happened? "Where are the other brothers?"

Sitting inside the house, Yun Ruo Lu couldn't wait to ask, although she had already guessed the gist of the matter, she still didn't quite believe it before it was verified.
