Seeing this, the leader of the guards became even more ruthless, gripping his broadsword tightly and repeatedly slashing at Li Qingrong's head.

Li Qingrong reacted extremely quickly, dodging the attack by bending over to the side.

The first few times he managed to dodge easily, but the later times he was entangled by other guards and couldn't get away.

The leader of the guards seized the opportunity and slashed at her neck with his broadsword.

Just as they were about to clash, Li Qingrong raised her sword to try and block the attack. However, the broken sword she had imagined did not appear; instead, the broadsword stopped beside her neck.

Li Qingrong glanced at the expressionless guard, and only after sheathing her sword did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yuetong waved her hand, signaling all the guards to withdraw.

"Not bad, you've improved a lot."

"It's rare to hear you praise me so earnestly."

The two walked into the hall while talking. Li Qingrong looked at Jiang Yuetong with some surprise.

She could clearly sense that Jiang Yuetong seemed to be in a good mood, perhaps because of her.

As soon as Jiang Yuetong sat down, Li Qingrong quickly poured her a cup of tea. Seeing that the tea was still steaming, she very attentively blew on it before handing it to her.

Looking at the teacup in front of her, Jiang Yuetong raised her delicate eyebrows: "What do you want to do?"

Li Qingrong stood in front of her and rubbed her hands together: "Now that I've almost recovered, when shall we set off for Wanchuan Forest?"

So it turns out he wanted to gain experience.

Jiang Yuetong nodded thoughtfully: "Judging from your fighting style just now, your body should be fine."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "In that case, let's set off tomorrow."

"Yay!" Li Qingrong jumped up happily, then reached out and took the teacup in front of her, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.

After putting down her teacup, she took a deep breath: "I'm so thirsty."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuetong shook her head helplessly, stood up and said slowly, "Get a good rest tonight. There are no easy days in Wanchuan Forest."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Li Qingrong nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Yuetong: "..."

Looking at her excited expression, anyone who didn't know better would think she was going to find treasure.

The next day.

Jiang Yuetong and Li Qingrong headed to Wanchuan Forest.

Left behind in Huanhai Prefecture, Lü Jingliang gazed resentfully at the receding purple figure.

Lu Jingliang thought of what she had said last night.

"Now you are my rightful husband, and no one dares to oppose me in managing Huanhai Prefecture."

"Just stay here peacefully. If anyone dares to bully you, just fight back. Most of the elders in charge are my men, and they will help you."

"This trip to Wanchuan Forest will take at least half a year. If nothing unexpected happens, your cold poison will be cured soon."

"To keep me from worrying, just help me manage Huanhai Prefecture well. With you behind me, I feel at ease!"

Seeing that she had already made up her mind, even if Lü Jingliang was unwilling, he had no choice but to stay in Huanhai Prefecture.

Actually, it was also because I was afraid she would get angry. Besides, she once said that she would feel at ease having him behind her.

She truly pleased him completely.

Only now did Lü Jingliang realize that there was another reason why Jiang Yuetong had publicly announced his identity.

Madam, you're quite the schemer!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

On the way to Wanchuan Forest.

Li Qingrong, riding her celestial horse, frequently glanced at Jiang Yuetong, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
