Xu Yuehuai was momentarily stunned when she heard what Chu Guangbai said.
It turns out that the person who made these pastries was the cook in Chu Guangbai's household!
Xu Yuehua had previously suspected that the person was also a time traveler like her.
Now, just as I'm about to leave the Kingdom of Dark Moon, I've finally received news of that person.
Xu Yuehuai felt it was somewhat fantastical. If she had known earlier, she could have properly tested that person to see if they were a time traveler like her.
I only learned of this news now that I'm about to leave the Kingdom of Dark Moon. I don't know when I'll have the chance to see this person again.
Xu Yuehuai then accepted the pastries and said to Chu Guangbai, "I ate your pastries last time and thought they were especially delicious. I wonder when I'll have the chance to meet your chef!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Guangbai immediately smiled and said, "Of course there is an opportunity."
"If you like the pastries made by my cook, I'll send him to your Great Zhou Kingdom to make pastries for you every day, how about that?"
Before Xu Yuehuai could answer, Qi Guze suddenly spoke up.
"No need. There are chefs in the Great Zhou Kingdom who are skilled at making pastries. Whatever A-Yue wants to eat, I will have someone prepare it for her."
Qi Guze thought, "It's just ordinary pastries, right? Even if I don't know how to make them, I can have someone around me learn! They'll definitely be able to make them taste like Xu Yuehuai!"
I don't want Chu Guangbai's people to get close to Xu Yuehuai!
Chu Guangbai smiled faintly, said nothing more, and stood still, watching Xu Yuehuai and the others leave.
"Young Master Chu, we'll meet again someday!"
As Xu Yuehuai spoke, she waved goodbye to Chu Guangbai.
Chu Guangbai smiled and waved, "I hope next time won't be too far away!"
He thought Xu Yuehuai was a very nice girl, and now that they were about to part ways, he felt a little reluctant.
Qi Guze saw through Chu Guangbai's thoughts at a glance, immediately pulled down the curtain, grabbed Xu Yuehuai, and pulled her directly into his arms, holding her tightly.
Do you like Chu Guangbai?
Qi Guze was extremely jealous, and his tone was somewhat cold.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Xu Yuehuai quickly comforted him, saying, "Young Master Chu only saved me. At most, we are just ordinary friends. I don't like him. The only person I like is Your Highness!"
She knew Qi Guze was definitely jealous, so she immediately tried to appease him.
Upon hearing Xu Yuehuai's words, Qi Guze beamed and nestled close to Xu Yuehuai's neck.
"Of course I know your feelings for me. You are the only one I love, A-Yue. Don't show such a gentle smile to other men in the future, okay?"
"You can only show me that gentle smile!"
"Otherwise, I'll get jealous."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai immediately patted Qi Guze on the back.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will never show that kind of smile to other men again."
Actually, her smile just now wasn't particularly unrestrained; she just wanted to avoid upsetting Qi Guze, so she could only go along with what he said.
Seeing that Xu Yuehuai was so docile, Qi Guze didn't say anything more.
They traveled towards the Great Zhou Kingdom along a small, safe path that was usually deserted.
If no one betrays them, this is definitely the safest path for them.
For the first few days, nothing dangerous happened; everything was calm and peaceful, as if nothing had actually occurred.
But then, Qi Guze suddenly noticed something strange about their surroundings. It seemed like someone was watching them closely, following them and looking for an opportunity to strike.
Even Xu Yuehuai sensed that something was amiss and knew that someone was planning to harm them. He became wary and warned those around him to be careful and not to go out alone.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shichen quickly inquired about it.
"Grandma, what on earth happened? Is someone secretly following us, trying to harm us?"
"But didn't you and the Prince say that this path we're taking is particularly safe? Why would anyone know our whereabouts?"
Jiang Shichen also felt that this matter was unusual. If someone knew their whereabouts, then someone must have exposed everything about them!
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai hurriedly said to Jiang Shichen, "You must not reveal this matter. If other people find out, it will probably alert the traitor. The person who betrayed us will definitely hide. We must not let her know, otherwise we may not be able to find any clues about him."
Although they are now in danger, they have also learned that someone has betrayed them behind the scenes.
In this way, even though we encounter danger this time, we will also be able to find an opportunity to uncover the traitor in the shadows.
Qi Guze had made two preparations. Even if his whereabouts were known, he could take the opportunity to eliminate some traitors, which wasn't all bad.
"Okay, Grandma, I definitely won't tell anyone else! You can rest assured!" Jiang Shichen immediately made a gesture of sealing his mouth, indicating that he would absolutely not go out and talk about it.
Xu Yuehuai naturally trusted Jiang Shichen completely, believing that he would be very smart and wouldn't go around spreading rumors, so she didn't give him any further instructions.
They continued on their journey as usual.
Sometimes we would stop along the way to rest for a while and eat some food, pastries, etc.
After Xu Yuehuai told the people from the Mingyue Kingdom around her that she was leaving, Manager Liu and the others prepared a lot of melons, dried fruits, and some hand-pulled mutton for them to take with them.
She was deeply moved, and her time in the Underworld Kingdom had been very rewarding.
I not only met so many friends, but also learned a lot.
Now that it's time to leave the Kingdom of Dark Moon, I'm actually a little reluctant.
But she still had to go back to the Great Zhou Kingdom to do many other things.
We can't stop here for now; we still have a lot to do.
They walked and stopped intermittently, but the people following them had not yet made a move.
Seeing that the other party seemed to have also realized something was wrong and wanted to take the opportunity to leave, Qi Guze immediately ordered his men to make their move.
He had already sent Xu Yuehuai and the others to a safe place to hide before leading his own men to take the initiative and fight against the assassins hiding nearby.
The assassins were somewhat shocked to see Qi Guze leading his men towards them, not expecting that Qi Guze and his group actually knew their whereabouts.
