Gu Bailu frowned. She really didn’t understand Lu Fenying.

  He was much harder to understand than Feng Qingtian.

  Either he loved Qian’er or he didn’t – there were no two ways about it.

  Feng Qingtian grabbed her hand and said, “Let’s go in. It’s cold outside, and your hands are already freezing.”


  He held her hands in his.

  “Qingqing, do you think Qian’er is worth him fighting to the death over?” This was the crux of the matter.

  “The only thing I can think of is her Dragon Spirit Blood. Maybe he’s afraid that Su Muwei will relapse in the future?” Feng Qingtian also couldn’t understand it. For someone as vicious as Lu Fenying, he wouldn’t go all out unless the other party had something truly priceless to offer.

  It had to be said that if Feng Qingtian really cooperated with the emperor of Heavenly Wind Empire, it could shake Lu Fenying’s years of operation.

  Nobody would be dumb enough to risk this for a worthless person.

  Feng Qingtian had thought at first that it was just Lu Fenying’s sense of possessiveness, but nobody would be so possessive that they would rather destroy themselves than let go.

  Unless that person was more important than their own life.

  However, he couldn’t detect any love from Lu Fenying, and abuse absolutely wasn’t love!

  “No, that’s definitely not the reason. Once Su Muwei recovers, she won’t relapse. Also, Lu Fenying said that Qian’er was his in life and death. He doesn’t plan to let her go for the rest of his life. This clearly has nothing to do with Su Muwei’s health.”


  “Then it’s possible that he likes Qian’er to some extent. After all, Lu Fenying has never touched any other woman except Qian’er.”


  It was possible for feelings to grow out of sex.

  But it was also because this was the case that the feelings weren’t deep.

  Gu Bailu frowned. “Then, is it because you can touch only me……”


  Feng Qingtian pinched her face. “What are you thinking? I’m different from Lu Fenying.”


  “That’s hard to say. I’m the only person you can touch both in the past and now. If you could touch another woman, things might be different.”


  “I’m not the Heavenly Emperor now. I’m a normal person. Do you really think I can’t touch other women?” Feng Qingtian pulled a long face. “It’s just that I don’t like other women so I don’t touch them.”


  Gu Bailu smiled. “Then, are you saying that’s the case with Lu Fenying? He’s also a normal man; it’s not like he can’t touch other women.”


  “Maybe. It’s very hard to understand what he’s thinking.”


  Feng Qingtian didn’t care about Lu Fenying’s feelings for Qian’er. He only wanted Gu Bailu to get the Sky Splitting Mirror and leave as soon as possible.

  Since they were In someone else’s territory, they had to refrain from being too intimate.

  Gu Bailu didn’t dwell on it. She had already decided to take Qian’er away first.

  As for the slave mark, she would think of another way.

  It was already late at night when Feng Qingtian and Gu Bailu returned to the crown prince’s residence. When they returned to the western courtyard, a maid came over with a thank you gift from Su Muwei.

  It was a handkerchief which Su Muwei had personally embroidered.

  Gu Bailu accepted the gift and examined it carefully in the light of a candle. There was indeed a line of words in one corner of the handkerchief.

  Su Muwei agreed for Gu Bailu to treat her the next day and cure her.

  It seemed that Lu Fenying taking Qian’er to the royal palace today and calmly resolving the matter without planning to let Mo Qian’er go had made Su Muwei anxious.
