Xuan Du was stunned as if he had never thought that Mu Yun'an would think so. He had never regarded Aluan as his candidate for understanding love.
He just simply wanted to save her from suffering.
Xuan Du raised his eyes and looked at Mu Yun'an and said, "The county master must have some misunderstanding. I have no wrong thoughts about the princess."
Mu Yun'an raised his eyebrows. Seeing that he was honest and didn't look like he was lying, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I've thought too much. I hope you'll forgive me if I've offended you in any way."
She curtsied and apologized for her rashness.
Xuandu said: "I know, you are doing it for the good of... the princess."
He was used to calling her Aluan, but now he had to change his name, just like their identity could not be changed no matter what.
Mu Yun'an added: "I know that Master also has good intentions. If possible, I also hope that Jiahe can leave the capital and stay away from right and wrong, but do you think you can really take her away?
Have you ever thought about how the world will view her once she follows you? So I have persuaded Jiahe to give up this idea, and she will return to Beijing in five days."
Xuan Du felt uncomfortable hearing this. Although he also knew that it would be difficult to take her away from the capital, he didn't expect that the outcome was already doomed before he even started trying.
He lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice: "That's fine. Does the county master have anything else to do? If not, I will go back."
Mu Yun'an nodded and watched Xuan Du turn around and leave. At this moment, she saw a strong sense of sadness in Xuan Du.
He said that he didn't have any particular thoughts about Jiahe. Was it because he didn't, or because he didn't see his own heart clearly?
Just like in the past, she didn't understand what love was and thought her affection for Xiao Chengyi was that of brother and sister. In fact, she didn't want to prevent Xuan Du and Jiahe from being together, but she was afraid that Jiahe would be hurt because of Xuan Du.
How much affection can a monk who has returned to secular life have? She doesn’t know!
"Do you know this monk?"
An unexpected voice came from behind, but it startled Mu Yun'an. She came back to her senses and looked at Xiao Jue, who had come over at some unknown time, and said in an angry voice: "Why are you running around if you don't look after your sister?"
?”
Xiao Jue: "..."
Why is this girl so angry? He snorted, stood with his hands behind his back and said, "You should be the one running around, right? Don't forget who you are?"
Mu Yun'an shrugged: "Who am I? Am I not the guest you invited?"
Xiao Jue choked and looked speechless. He held it in for a long time before saying, "Do you have the same attitude towards cousin Yi?"
Mu Yun'an rolled his eyes: "Can you compare with Brother Yi? My Brother Yi is the best person in the world, and no one can compare with him."
She snorted and passed him arrogantly. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jue suddenly grabbed her arm: "He's good, can't he protect you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a whooshing sound and an arrow flew from nowhere and hit Xiao Jue.
He looked startled and hurriedly turned around to avoid it. The arrow grazed his arm and tore his clothes. Finally, it was nailed into the pillar of the pavilion, making a clanking sound.
Mu Yun'an was a little surprised and froze on the spot when he heard a familiar voice not far away: "Who said I can't protect her?"
She was shocked, and hurriedly turned around to see Xiao Chengyi holding a bow and arrow in his hand, standing on the roof of the south wing, looking sternly.
Mu Yunan's eyes widened and she looked at the person who suddenly appeared here in disbelief. Is she dreaming? Why is Xiao Chengyi here? Shouldn't he be taking part in the examination?
In surprise, Xiao Chengyi had already jumped off the roof. He threw away the bow and arrow in his hand and walked towards her quickly: "Yan Yan."
