"What do you want from me?"

The guard said with a complicated expression, "The prince said that he might not be able to go to Sun Moon Lake with you."

Seeing his complicated expression, which seemed to contain a hint of temptation, Chen Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Okay."

The guard was suddenly stunned.

Chen Yan slowly put away the dagger and said calmly, "Tell your prince that if he can't come back tomorrow morning, we will leave first."

When the guard heard this, he frowned and his face turned pale, then he lowered his head in agreement.

“Yes, Miss Shen.”

Just as the guard was about to leave, Chen Yan's cold voice rang out.

"Tell him that we don't want to get involved in the affairs of Nanshang Country."

The guard's breathing stagnated, he didn't dare to look at Chen Yan, nodded repeatedly, and left quickly.

When Chen Yan saw him leave, she withdrew her gaze. At this time, a few petals fell down. She slowly raised her hand and caught them. The petals fell on her palm. She stared at the petals with sparkling eyes.

"Xiao Zechuan..."

…

In the evening.

Inside the inn, seven people sat at the dining table.

"What? Xiao Zechuan said he would not carry out the mission of killing the Earth Demon Dragon?" Zhuge Youlin was suddenly shocked.

"Yeah." Chen Yan looked calm and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork with chopsticks.

Yu Changying sighed softly: "Brother Zechuan has returned home and no longer cares about us. Really, how can we be as important as his family?"

Zhuge Youlin snorted softly, then started eating until his cheeks were puffed up. He said incoherently, "Xiao Zechuan said he wouldn't come, so he didn't come. He's even more willful than me!"

"Just eat it, don't spit out your rice!" Jiang Xianyue looked at a grain of rice that Zhuge Youlin spat out with disgust.

Wen Yuchu said meaningfully, "Maybe he has his own reasons."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan put down his chopsticks and looked at them with deep eyes: "If he has difficulties and needs us to sacrifice something, will you help him?"
