The speed of the light-foot technique was so fast that even Yue Lingshan was a little unaccustomed to it, and she could understand Murong Fu's situation.

Yue Lingshan looked up at Dongfang Bai, feeling that he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before. She tentatively asked, "Miss Dongfang, your lightness skill is amazing."

"snort!"

Dongfang Bai snorted coldly, not wanting to speak.

After a while, Murong Fu seemed much better and looked up to ask, "Miss Dongfang, why are the Imperial Guards arresting you? Are you a fugitive?"

Faced with Murong Fu's sincere gaze, Dongfang Bai choked up, wanting to ask: Are you really stupid or do you really not understand? You stole the emperor's woman and made him lose face. Don't you know who the Embroidered Uniform Guard arrested?

Anyone with eyes could see that the young man was no ordinary person; in fact, many people recognized him. Only Murong Fu stood there dumbfounded, raising the price.

Dongfang Baimu originally intended to deceive the young emperor and obtain some information, but now Murong Fu has ruined everything.

After a long silence, Dongfang Bai said, "Murong Fu, you can't stay in the capital anymore. You should go back to Jiangnan."

Murong Fu asked with a blank look, "Why can't I stay here? Is it because I bought you? What kind of trouble have you done that makes you so wanted by the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Dongfang Bai sneered and retorted, "So you're going to take the imperial examination?"

"That's right."

Murong Fu nodded.

Dongfang Bai's eyes flickered, and he said mockingly, "Then tell me, if you offended the young emperor and saw him during the palace examination, do you think he would kill you on the spot? Let me guess, perhaps he would kill you by slow slicing, cutting you three thousand times before you finally breathe your last."

"I have offended the emperor? When... Could it be that the person bidding against me was the emperor? How could this be! The emperor is so absurd! Heaven has forsaken my Great Ming!"

Murong Fu looked incredulous and heartbroken.

"..."

Dongfang Bai was at a loss for words when it came to evaluating Murong Fu. Had this scholar gone mad from reading too much?
