The people who know you best are not your relatives but your enemies. The Ninth Prince does not know Nanling Jinfan’s plan, but he knows that Nanling Jinfan is a poisonous snake and will never let him go easily and let him return to Dongling smoothly.

As soon as they walked out of the Nanling Imperial City, the Ninth Prince found an opportunity and asked the eighteen riders of the Si family to escort Feng Qingchen and Mr. Wenyuan away first. He then took his personal guards and walked along another road to attract the attention of those people in Nanling.

Feng Qingchen received the order at short notice but did not panic, nor did he get angry with the Ninth Uncle. He took on this difficult task calmly.

After briefly explaining it to Mr. Wenyuan, he led the 18 riders on the road, and he was very careful in his actions along the way. He was not afraid of the 18 riders at all, and gave orders in an orderly manner. Even though the 18 riders did not cooperate well along the way, Feng Qingchen did not lose his temper and generously did not argue with them.

That night, Feng Qingchen and his companions did not make it to the town, so they slept in the wild. They needed to set up camp, but the eighteen riders of the Si family refused to do so. Their reason was that they did not know how to do it.

As soldiers, how could they not know how to set up tents? They were just using this method to vent their dissatisfaction.

The Eighteen Riders of the Si Family were ordered by Si Cheng to protect the Ninth Uncle. They accepted and acknowledged it, but the Ninth Uncle turned around and asked them to protect Feng Qingchen, which made them extremely dissatisfied.

Although Si Cheng told them to obey the orders of the Ninth Uncle, the Ninth Uncle was not their master, but he ordered them to do this and that. It would be strange if the Eighteen Riders of the Si Family were willing to accept it.

The Eighteen Riders of the Si Family were extremely powerful. They were as proud as Si Cheng and only believed in the strong. They were not the least bit unwilling to protect the Ninth Uncle, but they could not accept protecting Feng Qingchen and obeying the orders of a woman like Feng Qingchen.

They can protect Feng Qingchen, but if Feng Qingchen wants them to do anything, that is absolutely impossible!

Feng Qingchen knew that these eighteen people were deliberately making things difficult for her, so she laughed and stopped talking. She called the two guards given by the Ninth Prince and asked them to help set up the camp.

Women of this era were all spoiled, but having been on the battlefield for years, Feng Qingchen had long learned to be independent. She set up her own tent and did not feel any pressure at all.

Three tents were taken out of the carriage. These tents were made by the Ninth Uncle according to the style of the outdoor tents in Feng Qingchen’s smart medical bag. They were small and well-built.

Feng Qingchen explained the trick to the two guards, then spread out the tent and directed the two guards to help.

There were more than twenty people in the group, but only three women. Ming Wei and Zhan Yan stood on the left and right behind Mr. Wen Yuan. The eighteen riders of the Si family formed a semicircle to protect everyone. Feng Qingchen was busy setting up the tent under the gaze of everyone.

"Dad, I'll go help Qingchen." Zhan Yan couldn't bear it any longer, so he said as soon as he got out of the car.

They are both women, and they are standing here enjoying the breeze and the scenery, while Feng Qingchen is busy preparing their accommodation for the night. The difference is too big. Feng Qingchen is not their servant, and her background is not much lower than theirs.

"How can you help?" Mr. Wenyuan looked at his daughter with a smile on his face: "Can you?"

Zhan Yan was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No, but I can learn."

"If you go forward to learn now, you will only cause trouble for Feng Qingchen. What can you do with your strength?" It's not that Mr. Wen Yuan looks down on Zhan Yan, but most girls are pampered. Zhan Yan can't even fold a quilt, let alone set up a tent.

Zhan Yan's face flushed red after hearing what Wen Yuan said. She said unwillingly, "Although my daughter can't help much, I can't stand standing here and watching Qingchen, a woman, do these rough jobs alone."

When Zhan Yan said this, his eyes swept towards the Eighteen Riders of the Si Family, obviously blaming them. The Eighteen Riders of the Si Family raised their heads proudly, neither refutating nor helping.

They are neither the Ninth Prince's servants nor Feng Qingchen's subordinates, so why should they help Feng Qingchen?

"Feng Qingchen doesn't care, so why should you care? Yan'er, learn from Feng Qingchen. If it were you, and you were rejected by those eighteen people, could you calmly set up the tent by yourself?" When Mr. Wenyuan said this, there was a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.

Although Yan'er was more knowledgeable than the average woman, she was quite temperamental. If she had been rejected by the Eighteen Riders of the Si family, she would have been annoyed for a while, secretly wiping away her tears, feeling very pitiful for herself and thinking that the Eighteen Riders were being too unreasonable. However, she forgot that she had no right to order the Eighteen Riders around.

Even if they are servants, they are not your servants.

Zhan Yan stood still, staring blankly at Feng Qingchen. Under Mr. Wenyuan's gaze, she slowly lowered her head: "I can't do what Feng Qingchen did, but they are going too far. Feng Qingchen is a woman."

They were referring to the Eighteen Riders of the Si Family. Mr. Wenyuan glanced at them, pretending not to have heard anything, and said, "They are not subordinates of the Ninth Prince. They were only ordered to protect us, and they have the right to refuse.

The Ninth Prince knew their temperaments, and he dared to leave them to Feng Qingchen, which showed that he knew Feng Qingchen's ability. Even without these eighteen riders, Feng Qingchen could still do things well along the way. Yan'er, do you remember what Jin Ling said, that Feng Qingchen rode alone to the canyon to save him? "

Mr. Wenyuan took the opportunity to tell Zhan Yan that Feng Qingchen was different from ordinary women. She might not be talented or eloquent, but for men like the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling, an independent and strong woman, a woman who could take good care of herself at any time, was the woman they wanted.

Zhan Yan's eyes were burning, and she said with admiration: "How could I forget? This is what I admire most about Qingchen. She only regards Brother Jin Ling as a friend, but she is willing to die for her friend. But... Father, I can do it too." For Jin Ling, she would even give up her life.

“No, you will do that, but you can’t do it.” Mr. Wenyuan looked determined. Seeing Zhan Yan disagreed, he continued to reason: “Yan’er, before doing anything, we must think about whether this matter is beyond our ability and whether it will cause trouble instead of helping.

Feng Qingchen went on the road alone because she knew she could do it. She had the ability to protect herself. She could ensure her own safety and not cause trouble to others. But what about you? You are just acting out of loyalty, and the final result will be very bad. Not only will you fail to save Jinling, you will also risk your own life, and even your family or Jinling will have to come to save you. "Mr. Wenyuan never missed any opportunity to teach his daughter, and he only hoped that Zhan Yan would not be obsessed with unrequited love and blindly follow Feng Qingchen.

"Dad, if I learn now, will it be too late?" Zhan Yan looked at Feng Qingchen's quick movements and knew at a glance that this was not his first time. Feng Qingchen must have done these things often before.

Mr. Wenyuan smiled and shook his head: "Yan'er, you don't need to learn these. You are different from Feng Qingchen. She is an orphan who can only rely on herself. These are her ways of survival. She has to rely on herself to live. Without these, she can't live so freely. But you are different. You are the daughter of the Zhan family. You don't need to do these. With the Zhan family, you can live a carefree life."

He admired Feng Qingchen, but that didn't mean he wanted his daughter to fight for survival like Feng Qingchen. Why would she be a lonely eagle struggling to survive in the cracks when she could be a pearl spoiled by her parents?
