In the end, Luo Qing Chen still decided to avoid this.

  After all, as the sixth king’s daughter, Su Yuan had seen her a few times.

  But she couldn’t think it through in the end, why would Su Yuan come looking for Chu Xi Mo?

  He was just a pirate, how could a first grade minister of the court come to a place like this?

  –


  At the beginning of the night, there was a bright moon that hung over the Emperor Pavilion.

  When Chu Xi Mo came back, she was already asleep. In her sleep, she heard him give a sigh.

  If should mean: How great it would be if he could stay here his entire life.

  But a pirate was a pirate in the end, he had things that he needed to do.

  Qing Wei received news that there would be an official’s ship that would pass through Imperial Dawn Bay. This ship was carrying the relief funds from the court to the flood victims.

  This large amount was worth stealing.

  As usual, Ji Yu planned the route and tried to take the relief funds with as few losses as possible.

  But Luo Qing Chen felt a bit unsettled and this unsettled feeling grew stronger.

  “What is it?” Chu Xi Mo slowly raised his right hand to place on her tightly knit brows as she looked at her, “You look pensive.”


  “Does everybody need to go on this mission?”


  “No.” Chu Xi Mo softly grabbed her from behind, “Normally speaking, this kind of relief fund belongs to a large official ship, so Ji Yu and I have to go. Ji Yu is the master of navigating, so we can leave as soon as possible with him.”


  “So you’re going this time?”


  “What is it?” He hugged her tighter as he said with a faint smile, “You’ll be much safer here.”


  “I’m not afraid of danger.” She pursed her lips and said, “I’m a bit worried about you.”


  “Relax.” There was a faint smile in his deep eyes as he pulled on her heartstrings, “Without you, I don’t have anything to worry about, but with you, I enjoy this kind of worry!”


  “Such a bad mouth.” Although she said this, there was a hard to conceal smile on her face.

  They had a good sleep, although a certain person still unscrupulously disturbed her, but she felt a kind of warmth in his arms.

  The next morning, she was brought by Chu Xi Mo to a secret room in the Emperor Pavilion along with her maid Er Xi.

  Although it was a secret room, it was finely decorated, with each detail being finely tuned.

  A sea blue hall, just like the first Emperor Pavilion.

  “Why did you bring me here?” Luo Qing Chen looked at him with a bit of worry.

  “I thought about it. Someone from the court just came a few days ago and then Qing Wei received this news. It might be to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so you and Er Xi will stay here while I’m gone.”


  “What did that Su Yuan come looking for you for?” Luo Qing Chen pursed her lips, “He doesn’t seem like someone who wants to harm us.”


  “He said that it was related to the royal palace and he also knows our identity as pirates.” He knit his brows as he looked at her, “As for whether he is friend or enemy, that will have to wait after we steal these relief funds.”


  “You mean that if you don’t smash your heads this time, Su Yuan is a good person.”


  “No, not just that.” Chu Xi Mo’s beautiful eyes had a sparkle in them as he looked at her, “If nothing happens, it means that his words to me were true.”


  Actually, Chu Xi Mo had still played another hand.

  He put Luo Qing Chen’s name on the list of people going out this time, he wanted everyone to know that Luo Qing Chen was coming out to sea with them this time.
