Lan Zhi replied perfunctorily: "It's okay."
Yuan Zhan's eyes were filled with tenderness. He said, "After three days of not seeing you, I find myself missing you even more..."
Lan Zhi's voice was cold, "I don't miss you."
Yuan Zhan: “…”
There's no chatting today.
Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and continued to talk to himself, "I heard there's a maple forest nearby. The maple leaves are as red as fire all year round. It's very beautiful... I wonder if Miss Nianqing is interested?"
Lan Zhi turned to look at him, "When maple leaves fall, they form wind blades that can injure people. You're just an ordinary person. Wouldn't it be suicide if you went in?"
Yuan Zhan smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you last time... I am the prince of the royal palace. There is no place in the entire Da Rui Kingdom that I cannot go."
Lan Zhi glanced at him and said, "There are many forbidden places in the Great Rui Kingdom. Even Prince Rui doesn't dare to enter. Are you more powerful than Prince Rui?"
Yuan Zhan felt underestimated and wanted to show off: "Miss Lanzhi, have you ever heard of a scapegoat?"
"No."
"The wooden scapegoat is a means of preserving my life. No matter where I am, as long as I suffer fatal injuries, the wooden scapegoat will instantly take my place and transfer my injuries to it."
"And I—will be teleported to my father's side."
"Oh, by the way, my father is Prince Rui."
"Therefore, even if it is a forbidden place, I dare to go there."
Yuan Zhan took off the jade pendant from his waist and said, "And this, it's a protective spiritual weapon. Even if all the maple leaves in the forest fell on me, they wouldn't hurt me."
Lan Zhi: “…”
Prince Rui's family has a deep foundation, I really want to rob him.
Lan Zhi praised lightly: "That's amazing."
Yuan Zhan seemed encouraged and said, "Actually, I've met you before. I know you're a daughter of the Lan family. Your name is Lan Zhi, not Nian Qing. I don't know why you told me such a fake name. Does it have any special meaning?"
"Nianqing is to miss someone."
"Who?" Yuan Zhan frowned and asked, "Do you have a crush on someone?"
"Qing'er is the most important person in my life." A hint of tenderness appeared in Lan Zhi's eyes.
Yuan Zhan felt that he was getting angry.
Jun Weihe, who was hiding behind the carriage, also felt a pang in his heart.
The two men were curious about who "Qing'er" was.
Yuan Zhan guessed, "The Fourth Prince, Jun Qingguo? Or the General's son, Mu Fenqing?"
“Neither.”
Yuan Zhan felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He knew that everything he had now was due to the existence of his father. If his father was gone one day, no matter how many ways he used to save his life, it would be useless.
Now that his father had offended the demons, Yuan Zhan felt he needed to find another supporter, such as Lan Zhi. She was a renowned, aloof, and proud daughter of heaven in the capital. Marrying her would be a real honor.
Moreover, Lan Zhi is now a leader among the younger generation, and she herself is very talented.
To put it bluntly, even if Prince Rui died in the future, Lan Zhi, with the resources of the palace, would surely be able to cultivate to Prince Rui's level very quickly and serve as the pillar of the palace.
The most important thing is, if he can get the Orchid God Flower that she willingly sacrificed, Yuan Zhan will be able to completely transform himself and embark on the path of cultivation. Then he won't have to rely on others, and protecting himself will be the most reliable thing.
"Miss Lanzhi, I don't know who the Qing'er you're talking about is. I only know that you captured me that night, and we performed the ritual of husband and wife. You can't just abandon me like this..."
“???” Jun Weihe wanted to kill someone after hearing this.
Lan Zhi frowned slightly. "Master Yuan, that night, although I was unconscious, I vaguely remember that I caught a man in white. But when I woke up, you were sitting by my bed, wearing purple... Was it really you that night?"
Yuan Zhan panicked, "Of course it's me!"
Hearing this, Jun Weihe felt relieved, because he was wearing white clothes that night, and it seemed that Yuan Zhan wanted to impersonate him.
"Okay, even if it's you, I don't want to get married right now..." Lan Zhi continued, "By the way, can you take me to your house tomorrow?"
Hearing her being so proactive, Yuan Zhan felt like he was dreaming.
Lan Zhi said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to discuss marriage. I just have a question that I'd like to ask Prince Rui for advice."
She will hurry up and make the poison this afternoon, and poison Prince Rui tomorrow!
"You want to see my father?" Yuan Zhan hesitated a bit because his father was injured. But then he thought, just giving Lan Zhi some advice shouldn't be a problem, so he nodded and agreed. "Then tomorrow morning, I'll send a carriage to the Lan Mansion to pick you up."
"Um."
"Now, shall we go to the maple forest?"
Lan Zhi refused, "I want to practice."
Yuan Zhan felt a little disappointed, but still said with a smile, "I'll take you back."
The two carriages were one in front and one behind.
Jun Weihe had already sneaked into the carriage in front.
Lan Zhi raised her hand and cast a barrier around her. She whispered, "Come out! How long are you going to hide?"
Jun Weihe's figure gradually emerged, "How did you find me?"
He thought he was hiding very well.
Lan Zhi didn't answer and changed the subject: "I have some cakes here, they taste pretty good, would you like to try one?"
The reason she was able to discover him was because of the Lanshen flower.
Just now, the Orchid God Flower extended a transparent invisible silk thread and connected it to Jun Weihe's body. Lan Zhi vaguely felt that a subtle connection had been established between the Orchid God Flower and Jun Weihe. This connection was one-sided. The Orchid God Flower could sense Jun Weihe, but Jun Weihe was unaware of the existence of the Orchid God Flower.
