n't peek."Feng Lingxi remained silent, watching him instinctively retreat behind the screen. She instructed Xiao Li, "Bring him some hot water later so he can wash up.""Your Majesty, do you truly beli...Chu Xi promptly retreated at the sound, Feng Ling stood alone, with Xiao Li beside her, whispering, "Your Highness, should I also withdraw"

"Hmm."

Before Feng Ling could speak, the person opposite her had already spoken. Xia Li's lips twitched slightly; even so softly, he could hear it.

"Xiao Li belongs to me. Lord, just spit it out, I have to leave the city soon."

Half an hour.

Feng Lingxi frowned, walking to the door. Chu Xi called out to Xiao Li, "Miss, please follow me."

Little Li glanced at the Princess. Seeing her nod, she whispered, "I'll be waiting for you at the door. Call me if you need anything."

Feng Lingxi walked to her seat and sat down. She glanced at the dishes on the table. Could all this be prepared for her

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Princess awaits."

Feng Lingxi watched him come over and sit down, her brows slightly raised, "May I ask how the host addresses himself"

"People in the Jianghu don't ask my name."

Feng Lingxi frowned even tighter. He was indeed straightforward; in the Jianghu, people didn't know his name if they hadn't met him.

"Alright, then I'll call you Lord of the Forum. Chu Xi said that she saw me because I've been looking for her this whole time, which means you are the mysterious person who helped me at Si Wangfu when I left the capital. Feng Ling Xi is here, thank you, Lord of the Forum, for your help."

Feng Lingxi stood up and bowed to him with cupped fists, mimicking the way people in the martial arts world would express gratitude.

"Do you know why I helped you"

Feng Lingxi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

The atmosphere had become eerily silent. Feng Lingxi stared at him, while Louzhu raised his cup and took a sip of wine before glancing at Feng Lingxi. "Cheers," he said.

" "

Feng Ling xi wore a face of confusion

What does "喜" mean

Do you like her

"The OP's words are so concise."

The host's eyes swept over Feng Lingxi, and the coldness emanating from them made her instinctively avert her gaze. She couldn't look into his eyes; they were unsettling, as if he could see right through her.

"If you want to leave, I can help you."

Wind Lingxi had another face full of question marks. How did she feel like this poster was always monitoring her whereabouts

"I appreciate your kindness, but if I want to leave, I'll leave on my own."

The poster didn't reply, instead he picked up some chopsticks and placed food onto her plate in front of her. He looked up, his eyes cold, "Eat more, you're too thin."

Feng Lingxi pulled at her lips, she wasn't thin or not. It didn't seem to have much to do with him, did it

Let me know if you need anything else translated!

Looking at him eating contentedly, Feng Lingxi really had no appetite.

Today he asked her out, wouldn't it just be to have her keep him company for a meal here

Moreover, his words were concise yet carried a hint of ambiguity. It wasn't that she wanted to think in that direction, but rather, his speech was too straightforward.

"Host, I wonder what brings you to seek me out these days"

Feng Ling Xi asked, the building owner raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Sleep without speaking, eat without speaking."

The atmosphere became even more strange. Feng Lingxi hadn't eaten much all day and now, at this table full of food, she ignored him and ate silently by herself.

The host watched her eat seriously, the coldness in his eyes gradually becoming gentle. Feng Lingxi accidentally glanced at him while picking up vegetables and caught sight of the tenderness in his eyes. She subconsciously looked back, wondering if she had seen things.

The landlord's gaze at her was so gentle, just like how Dugu City looks at her.

"That..."

"Eat more, you're too skinny."

Feng Lingxi swallowed the words that were about to leave her lips, looking at Bing's restored coldness. Feng Lingxi shook off the thoughts in her mind, maybe this poster thought she was a bit like the woman he used to love, or perhaps it was because she reminded him of the woman he liked.

Other girls chewed slowly and elegantly, but Feng Lingxi did not. She acted freely without any restraint.

"Since you're finished, can you tell me now"

Feng Lingxi put down her chopsticks and wiped the oil from her mouth, then sat up straight.

"Taking on the task for others."

"Huh"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, taking on the task given to her, "Who asked you to help me"

"Don't speak."

Feng Lingxi was speechless. Judging by Luo Juzhou's expectations for this landlord, he must be a very capable person. Who could it be that he entrusted with her care

"Is it Dugu City"

The landlord remained silent, looking at her with his eyes still cold and piercing.

Feng Lingxi frowned, somewhat perplexed.

"Host, I've eaten dinner and it's getting late, so I'll be going now."

"Where are you going"

Feng Ling Xi got up, and the host asked.

"Go to Yangshan County." Feng Lingxi turned to look at him, "Will the lord also accompany you"

The Three Kings will arrive in the capital tomorrow. With that, your position as princess will be forfeit.

The host stared into her eyes, and the long sentence made Feng Lingxi couldn't help but laugh.

"Thank you for your concern, Floormaster. If I say I will stay, they would not be able to take the position of the Fourth Princess Consort from me."

Waving without looking back, he said, "Thank you for your hospitality, and I'll see you again."

The poster stood still, watching her. The coldness in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by worry.

When Feng Lingxi came out, she didn't forget to look back, becoming even more puzzled.

"Your Highness, are you done talking to him"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli's worried eyes and nodded, "It's nothing, I just had a meal with him."

Little Li looked at the confusion in the princess's eyes, "They prepared a huge feast for me. I've never been treated so well in my life. It's like being a young lady, being waited on hand and foot."

"Go tell."

Feng Lingxi gestured for Xiao Li to go first, Chu Xi walked over and smiled slightly at Feng Lingxi, “Fourth Princess, the carriage is ready, please.”

"Did you send me out of the city"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow and looked at Chu Xi. The poster claimed to be helping her on someone's behalf, but besides Huangfu Qingyun, who else could it possibly be

The master said, "It's getting dark. The Fourth Princess and Miss Xiao Li are going out of the city, it's not convenient. Let me escort the two of you to the nearest town."

Feng Lingxi glanced inside the box and said to Chu Xi, "No need, I'll ride with Xiao Li. A carriage is too slow."

But...

Chu Xi still wanted to say, Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li had already gone downstairs. Chu Xi hurried in to report, "Master, the Fourth Princess refuses the protection of her subordinates."

"Follow, protect her."

Chu Xi hurriedly followed suit. The landlord walked to the window and looked down at Feng Lingxi, who had already galloped away on horseback. His eyes narrowed slightly, "Pass down the order, ensure the safety of the Fourth Princess along the way."

Windling Xi and Xiaoli left the city, heading straight for the nearest town. As Chuxi said, it was getting dark, and they had to find shelter in a nearby town. They would set off for Yangshan County early tomorrow morning.

The nearest town could be reached on horseback in just an hour. When they arrived at the inn, it was already dark. Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li were exhausted from riding for so long. They booked a room upstairs, took a wash, and didn't go out again.eren't for the Princess requesting them here, she wouldn't be pleased to see them."It seems they are truly afraid their disciples will be wronged here.""That's right, the Princess didn't see how they...
