"What are you doing?" Gu Nancheng roared.
Gu Yanjin and Cui Shixu accidentally made eye contact, both of them speechless.
Cui Shixu said, "This is your little imperial uncle."
Gu Yanjin denied it, saying, "It's your little imperial uncle."
"Your little royal uncle."
"Your little imperial uncle."
...
Neither of them wanted to admit that they were related to such a person by blood.
"Go back and tell the Emperor to remove him from the family register!"
"I think it's a good idea."
Cui Shixu made the suggestion, which Gu Yanjin readily agreed with.
The two didn't continue childishly, but they also deliberately avoided watching the love triangle unfolding on the other side.
Once you see it, you won't be able to resist joining.
If you don't look at it, just bear with it, and it will pass.
The prince lowered his head and continued eating. "Mmm, this fried rice is really delicious."
Cui Shixu is the same.
The two of them simply couldn't help but listen to their conversation.
"Rong Xing, have you no shame? Can't you just let Ruoruo eat in peace? Why are you holding her? What are you trying to do? You look so cold and aloof, yet you're full of wicked schemes." The young prince shouted in accusation.
Fang Ruotang was enjoying her meal when her mood was spoiled.
She looked at Rong Xing's fair fingers, which were covered in grease, and then at his hands, which had been wiped clean and fresh. She raised her eyes and said seriously, "Rong Xing feeds me, and I eat. He doesn't have any bad intentions."
"But we're just eating, why are we hugging each other?" Gu Nancheng said, feeling wronged, since he hadn't even managed to hug her.
Fang Ruotang pointed to the two people who had softened and were about to make up, and said, "They even ate a chicken leg!"
"They are a married couple..."
"I've also taken a liking to Rong Xing! Isn't it just a matter of a word from me? Rong Xing, do you want to be taken into my household?"
Rong Xing glanced at Gu Nancheng, and the look in his eyes made Gu Nancheng wish he could kill himself.
"Yes!" Rong Xing's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone present.
Fang Ruotang shoved Gu Nancheng aside, "Alright, move aside, I want to continue watching the show and playing PUBG."
Gu Nancheng was defeated once again. Huo Zhige gave a cold laugh that was not very friendly. He thought that he was the same way at first, always trying the wrong way.
She's much smarter now. In fact, in Fang Ruotang's eyes, although the time the six of them spent with her varied, it was roughly the same for her.
She doesn't really care who's with her right now, nor does she have a particular preference for any one of them. In fact, when Cheng Xiaocheng and the others are with her, she doesn't even think about them.
Because so many people around her are kind to her, she is surrounded by them all the time and is almost never alone, so she has no time to think about anyone in particular.
Therefore, fighting among men is pointless.
Competing for favor is really about competing for time. As long as you keep showing up in front of Fang Ruotang and playing with her constantly, you can become her best friend.
He only understood this discovery later, but Gu Yanjin had been doing it from the very beginning.
However, he was no good person and wouldn't give Gu Nancheng the answer to copy, since who won or lost between Rong Xing and Gu Nancheng was none of his business.
In the time it takes to eat a meal, they arrived at the vicinity of the capital of Northern Liang.
Fang Ruotang said to the Zhao clan members, "We'll stop here. We must deal with the demons first, otherwise the casualties among the people will be too great. You can follow behind us and learn how to deal with the demons, or you can find a place to hide and wait until the demons are all dead before you leave."
Chief Zhao immediately said, "We'll follow you to kill demons, and we'll grow stronger. This time, following you at least guarantees our safety. But if we go out on our own in the future, it's not certain."
Chief Zhao's words had another meaning, which Fang Ruotang did not understand and even praised him, but everyone else present understood.
They didn't say anything about it.
A clan leader has his responsibilities and wants to protect his entire clan so that they can survive; there's nothing wrong with that.
Fang Ruotang, carrying a sword, charged ahead, startling everyone. They quickly followed, even though they knew she was the strongest. Her appearance and personality made it hard not to feel an urge to protect her.
Fang Ruotang swung her sword, only to find that it hadn't even touched the demons. The so-called sword energy had only injured a few demons, and they were all dead without a trace.
Seeing that everyone else was surrounding her, she tilted her head and asked, "Are you all so scared? Or should I take the spirit boat out again and you can go up?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Gu Yanjin said, "Spread out, pair up, strong and weak, and deal with the monsters yourselves."
"You two should also separate and not get together," Gu Yanjin said to Gu Yunzhen.
During this trip, he witnessed the power of being in love, the kind of person who truly wants to be glued to their partner at all times, never wanting to be apart for a moment, but neither of them is capable of doing so.
There are significantly more monsters here than in the previous places.
Gu Yunzhen was, after all, his sister, so Gu Yanjin gave her a word of advice, one more than he would give to others.
"Okay, okay!" Gu Yunzhen said a little embarrassed.
She was not born to the Empress. In the past, the Crown Prince had always been aloof and unapproachable, and she had never been this close to him before. She was even a little afraid of her elder brother, the Crown Prince.
[Little Mirror, this looks like the Fruit Ninja game you played with me! One slash and you can slice three or four pieces.]
Although Gu Yanjin had moved everyone else away, the six of them stood around Fang Ruotang in a surrounding formation, ready to rush to her aid immediately if anything happened to her.
Upon hearing Fang Ruotang's words, Gu Yanjin confirmed that Fang Ruotang was handling the situation with ease, and then said to Ye Wuxia and the other two, "Let's finish this quickly. Rong Xing and Nan Cheng will stay here to look after Xiao Liu."
