The wind blew gently, and Zong Zheng Xiaoting just walked vigorously without saying a word.

Qingqing followed closely behind her master, biting her lips nervously. After following the princess for so long, this was the first time that the princess was so cold to her, as if she had committed an unforgivable crime. It was very worrying.

Finally, beside the lake, Zong Zheng Xiaoting stopped and stood there, motionless.

"Princess..." Qingqing couldn't help but called out.

"Hmm?" He asked in a nasal tone, seeming dissatisfied.

"Princess, Qingqing is also thinking about you." Qingqing was so anxious about her master's indifference that she knelt straight on the ground and muttered to herself: "I know that you will blame me, but I still don't regret it. If you give me a choice, I will give the same answer."

Under the shade of the trees, the sunlight shone through the trees and flashed on Qingqing's face. A stubborn yet worried emotion was revealed in a contradictory way on Qingqing's face.

When Zong Zheng Xiaoting turned to look at Qingqing, he did not soften his stern face. He just looked at Qingqing kneeling on the ground and said indifferently: "You still don't regret it? Hmm? Do you know that all people are created equal? ​​Although my status and position will determine a lot of superiority, but unless it is absolutely necessary, I am unwilling to hurt people's lives? Do you understand the uneasiness of my conscience when an innocent and filial person who has nothing to do with me died for me inexplicably?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Qingqing tremble. She clenched her fists, mustered up her courage, and shook her head and replied: "Princess, Qingqing is not that selfless. Qingqing knows what you said, but in Qingqing's heart, anyone's death is not as important as the princess's safety. Even if the princess resents me and hates me, I, Qingqing, will still do this."

Qingqing's words made Zong Zheng Xiaoting silent for a long time. After a long time, Zong Zheng Xiaoting sighed helplessly. Or maybe he was too harsh.

People are selfish, I should understand this. If it were my aunt, I would be blind too. After all, in this strange world, there is not so much freedom, equality, fairness and humanity. And what Qingqing did was just for herself, nothing more.

"Get up and answer." Zong Zheng Xiaoting said to Qingqing, but he couldn't help feeling sad in his heart. Qingqing's handling of the matter this time made him understand something, which he had been deliberately ignoring.

Here, in this dynasty, in the process of searching for the Jade Haze Ball in the past few years, there may be many injustices and many things that are beyond one's control. After all, no one can guarantee that in this place, there are laws to follow like in the free country where one lives. Here, power and imperial authority are the source of all laws. If not, Qingqing would not have to be so cruel and sacrifice others. What she did was all out of worry.

If he escaped and was exposed, then even if Luozha Country condoned it, Yunguang Country would not allow it. Once exposed, Situ Xunxiao's face would be completely lost. For him, the reputation of the Zhan Palace is the most important, right? Therefore, Qingqing was so eager to make herself disappear in the fire once and for all, so as not to arouse suspicion.

but……

Zong Zheng Xiaoting was suddenly shocked. If that was the case, then what about Qingqing?

As if thinking of something, Zong Zheng Xiaoting said in a somewhat unstable tone: "You want someone to take the blame for me, then what about you? Who will take the blame for you?"

As expected, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Qingqing feel uneasy and she turned away.

"Answer me!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Qingqing's appearance and growled angrily.

"Qingqing's life was saved by the princess. The princess has her own plans and tasks to accomplish. Qingqing...what Qingqing can do... is to help the princess... and protect her safety..." In the face of Zongzheng Xiaoting's angry expression, Qingqing spoke in a lower and lower voice.

It is indeed like that!

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's suspicions were shocked and saddened by Qingqing's hesitant answer. This little girl actually planned to die in the sea of ​​fire just to fulfill her wish.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting moved his lips, and his voice was trembling, with a little sob: "Listen carefully to me, I will not allow it. I will not cooperate with you to do this."

"Princess!" Qingqing's voice was so shrill that she was anxious.

"Qingqing, sometimes, people can't be so stubborn." Zongzheng Xiaoting took Qingqing's hand and sighed, "You know best why Doctor Chen cooperated with me. If you make such a foolish sacrifice, who else can I rely on? I don't even know if I can find what I want. Without you by my side, I still don't trust others for some things. Don't you agree?"

"But Princess, if we don't do this, it might..." Qingqing's words came to an abrupt end as Zongzheng Xiaoting shook his head. Her eyes were full of confusion as she looked at her master who had regained his smile and blinked in confusion.

"I want to ask you, if I suddenly feel that I need a noble status to obtain the object while I am looking for it, but I am still a commoner, what will happen?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked. This point was also what Zong Zheng Xiaoting suddenly remembered during the Qingqing incident.

If the Jade Haze Ball is found but it is in the hands of a noble, how can I get it?

I only thought about free search, but forgot the immutable laws of this alien world.

If the Jade Haze Ball is a treasure here, then who has it in their hands? What I have to do is to keep my freedom, but at the critical moment, when I need my identity, I can get it openly.

If so...

Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Qingqing.

Sure enough, Qingqing's eyes widened during her master's question: "Qingqing actually forgot this! If so, the princess has disappeared, and even if we find her, we won't know where to start!"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded and smiled at Qingqing.

"But, Princess. What should we do in this case?"

"In this way, this natural disaster and man-made disaster can be played out normally, but we will have to take risks." Zong Zheng Xiaoting blinked at Qingqing.

"Adventure?"

"The fire is merciless. I was rescued by you, the protector of the inn, but I didn't come back for various reasons, right? If so, when I need to restore my identity, do you have an excuse to make up for it?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting was in a good mood. He opened his arms to face the wind and felt the rare comfort.

Qingqing pondered over her master's words and said, "Qingqing understands. Qingqing will send the store owner's daughter back now."

As soon as the voice fell, Qingqing ran away quickly. At this moment, Lord Zhan, who was far away in the capital of Yunguang Kingdom, suddenly had an idea and ran to the border to review the troops. The guard Nighthawk beside him stared at the figure of his master on the reviewing ground with a smile in his eyes, as if thinking about something.
