"Clap clap clap!"
As Su Liluo turned the corner of a corridor, Gao Junning suddenly walked over from a side road.
He clapped his hands a few times with a smile on his face.
"Su Liluo, you've truly impressed me today!"
Without any outside help, he single-handedly resolved all the dangers of the day, leaving his mother speechless with bitterness.
This was truly the first time he had ever witnessed such a spectacular battle between women!
"You flatter me. In fact, I should thank you for being my witness today."
Su Lilu smiled politely and deliberately brought up the fact that he had testified for her today.
Of course she knew that Gao Junning didn't genuinely want to help her; he was only doing so out of self-interest and because he couldn't stand Gao Yufei's stupidity.
Sure enough, Gao Junning's smile vanished instantly upon hearing his words.
He walked step by step to her, looking at the confidence and fearlessness in Su Liluo's eyes, and the calm and composed demeanor she exuded, before finally appreciating her beautiful and refined appearance.
"You truly are different from other women!"
After a moment, he let out a soft sigh.
In the past, I only thought about how to win my father's favor and make him establish me as the crown prince and his successor as soon as possible.
He had never been interested in any woman. In his view, someone of his status was destined to marry a noblewoman from a high-ranking family. He never thought about liking anyone.
But now it seems that he finds Su Liluo much more interesting than those noble ladies from aristocratic families. No wonder the Crown Prince of Daliang likes her so much.
It seemed that he had developed a slight interest in her.
"So what? What exactly are you trying to say to me? If you're going to reprimand me on behalf of your sister and mother, I think you should—"
Su Liluo didn't notice the unusual look in Gao Junning's eyes and thought he wanted to teach her a lesson.
Before she could finish speaking, Gao Junning interrupted her with a smile.
"I don't want anything. I'm just waiting for my father to arrange our marriage."
marriage?
Upon hearing this, Su Liluo felt inexplicably nauseous.
She gave him a disgusted look. "Then you just wait and see!"
After saying that, he walked past Gao Junning and left.
Gao Junning stared at Su Liluo's retreating figure, unable to look away for a long time.
That's interesting; he's really attracted to it!

After half a month of rapid travel, Che Yi and Chu Yan, under the protection of Xiao Ye's men, finally arrived at the Northern Desert Imperial City.
Upon arriving in the Northern Desert Imperial City, Chu Yan immediately felt unwell due to the change in environment and appeared listless.
"Yan'er, let me take you to see a doctor first. You've vomited several times. Now that we're in the Northern Desert, you should rest and recover first, and then we'll go find the Crown Princess."
On a large, reddish-brown horse, Che Yi looked down at Chu Yan, who was nestled in his arms, and spoke gently.
Chu Yan had been pampered since childhood and rarely traveled such a long distance, so her body couldn't take it anymore. She vomited countless times along the way due to the bumpy ride and lost a lot of weight.
Che Yi felt very sorry for him.
"No, we should go find Luo'er first. It's been so long, we don't know how she is, or if she's in any danger."
Upon hearing about Bei Mo, Chu Yan immediately suppressed her discomfort and wanted to go find Su Li Luo first.
For the past few days, she had been very worried about Su Liluo's safety, fearing that she would be bullied in this unfamiliar northern desert.
“Even if you go to see her in this state, you won’t be able to take her away. You might even become a burden to her. You should focus on getting better first. The Regent won’t harm her for the time being. I’ll send someone to inquire about the situation.”
Che Yi advised.
"Well... alright then, go and have someone inquire about Luo'er's whereabouts, and then we'll discuss how to rescue her."
Thinking of her current weak state, Chu Yan felt that Che Yi's words made some sense; she couldn't be a burden to Su Liluo.
So, he could only nod in agreement.
Che Yi took Chu Yan into the clinic to see a doctor, and after getting some medicine prescribed, he secretly whistled a strange whistle into the air in a place where no one could see him.
Half an hour later, a man and a woman came flying through the courtyard.
"Master, you're alive! That's wonderful! We've been looking for you for so long, we almost..."
A woman with a lithe figure, a heroic appearance, and dressed in purple brocade couldn't help but tear up when she saw Che Yi.
The handsome man next to her, who was only slightly taller than the woman, also looked excited when he saw Che Yi.
"Master, where have you been all this time? Who saved you?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I called you here today because I need your help with something."
Che Yi walked up to them and spoke slowly.
After talking with them for a while, he briefly told them about his time in Daliang and then took them to see Chu Yan.
"Che Yi, where did you go?"
Chu Yan saw Che Yi walking towards her with a man and a woman, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I'm going to meet with my former subordinates. Yan'er, let me take you to my residence in the Northern Desert first."
"Subordinate? Che Yi, are you perhaps the son of some high-ranking family?"
Chu Yan's eyes widened suddenly when she heard Che Yi's words.
She had always thought that Che Yi was just an ordinary person of low status, but she never expected that Che Yi actually had a rather important background in the Northern Desert.
Meanwhile, the woman in purple following behind Che Yi was also surprised when she saw Che Yi's attitude towards Chu Yan.
"Master, is this our future wife?"
She had never seen her master treat any woman with such gentleness and consideration before. In the past, her master would never even glance at a woman.
"No, I...I'm not, please don't...please don't misunderstand!"
Before Che Yi could answer, Chu Yan suddenly heard the woman say this, and her face immediately turned as red as a ripe shrimp. She denied it incoherently.
Similarly, Che Yi's ears turned red involuntarily, but seeing Chu Yan's shy appearance, he felt for some reason that she was somewhat cute.
"Young lady, you are the first woman our master has brought back. He has never brought a woman back before. My master is very good, so please don't let him down!"
Seeing Chu Yan's shy expression, the woman in purple no longer believed her denials.
In her view, her relationship with her master must be extraordinary.
"We...we...we're really not what you think!"
Chu Yan was both anxious and embarrassed when she saw that they had misunderstood.
In the end, Che Yi was afraid that she would get too agitated, so he told his men to stop talking.
After settling Chu Yan in his residence in the Northern Desert, he immediately sent people to investigate Su Liluo's whereabouts.
