The days of peace didn't last long. Although most of the respectable and upright sects had some scruples about Yue Zijun's identity, there were still people who were not afraid of death. At this moment, Yue Zijun and Lu Haoran were stuck on the small path, flanking left and right, without a single gap.

Yue Zijun swept his gaze across the crowd and accurately found their leader. He revealed a calm smile towards him and said: "I wonder what may I do for you?"

"Young Master Yue, I have to trouble you to hand over the demon woman from Green Isolated Palace to us!"

Yue Zijun smiled and replied, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Cut the crap!" Yue Zijun, what crime should you have for hiding evil beings of our sect! Quickly hand him over! " Obviously, the other party didn't have Yue Zijun's kind attitude. Just a few words and someone immediately exploded.

Unfortunately, the one who spoke was just a small fry without much authority, so Yue Zijun naturally didn't think much of it. He only stared at the leading man and asked: "Are you sure you don't want to?"

The man said: "Young Master Yue, it's not that we want to make things difficult for Young Master, it's just that our Green Isolated Palace s are full of bad deeds, if we can get rid of them earlier, it would be for the benefit of all the people in the world. I believe that Young Master Yue would not be able to bear to see so many innocent people die a violent death, I hope that Young Master can grant my wish. "

Yue Zijun shook his head and sighed, "You must be the second leader of the Floating Qilin Gang, Ma Yuan! I've heard that Deputy Sect Master Ma is reasonable, but I didn't expect him to be in a difficult position with me. "

Ma Yuan couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the other person recognize him, but he quickly calmed down and said, "It's not that I'm making things difficult for Young Noble, it's just that the woman …"

"That woman is the candidate lady that Seventh Prince wanted to present to His Majesty!"

Ma Yuan was stunned and his face turned green.

"Deputy Sect Master Ma, I am not at odds with the people of this world. I am only being entrusted with matters of loyalty. The Emperor's Elite Appraisal was a major event. Not even the slightest mistake could be made. If not, not only would Yue Yun's head be missing, even his family would be implicated. This woman is the person that Seventh Prince has chosen, she is not the witch that you all are talking about. "

"Young Master Yue insisted on not telling us where she is?"

"I have no choice but to do so. I hope that Vice Sect Master Ma can give me some convenience."

Ma Yuan frowned as if he was considering Yue Zijun's words, but his men weren't so patient. One of them raised his halberd and pointed it at Yue Zijun, "Second Bro, listen to his nonsense. I think he's itchy!" Then, he rushed up to fight with Yue Zijun.

Ma Yuan didn't have time to stop him and could only grit his teeth and say, "What are you doing?! Catch him! "

Everyone gave the order and rushed forward.

The martial arts of the small fry members of the Floating Qilin Gang were of the lower class. They were obviously not Yue Zijun's match, but the kid with the two halberds and Ma Yuan both had some skill.

Especially Ma Yuan, this guy used a pair of twin sticks, his kung fu skills were quite impressive.

Yue Zijun did not want to continue fighting. Although he knew that Ma Yuan was not his match, he did not want to waste too much energy fighting Ma Yuan, considering the long road ahead and the yellow sparrows waiting behind him for mantis stalking and cicadas catching cicadas. After slightly controlling Ma Yuan, he asked, "Vice President Ma, have you thought it through clearly? Fighting against me means fighting against Seventh Prince. I wonder if your Floating Lin Clan has the ability to contend against the eight thousand elite guards under the Prince?"

Ma Yuan said with a cold face, "This is a martial arts issue, does young master want to have anything to do with the government?"

"It's not that I want to have a relationship with the imperial government, it's that I was ordered by Seventh Prince to do things for the prince."

"How can such a character like Young Master be willing to serve the seven kings!?"

"Everyone in the world knows that I, Yue Zijun, am Seventh Prince's man. I am not wrong about the matter of the Lord of the Eclipse, Lu Zhong."

"But she's a demon from the Green Isolated Palace! If this demoness gives it to the emperor, wouldn't it endanger the safety of the emperor?! "

"Why do you have no proof to call her a demon? The person Seventh Prince chose is naturally someone with a clean background. I don't understand why you guys want to discredit her time and time again, and insist on bringing down the crime of being the devil's daughter of a cult, am I not? "

"You!" Ma Yuan stopped his hands and retreated a few steps. He stared at Yue Zijun and asked, "Young Master, do you mean that we made a mistake?"

"Isn't it?"

"What right do you have to say that she's not someone from the Green Isolated Palace?"

"I would actually like to ask Vice Sect Master Ma, what right do I have to say that she is?"

"Of course it's because …"

"Hu Heng?" Yue Zijun laughed loudly and said, "Did you believe Hu Heng just because he said so? Could it be that you guys still believed Hu Heng when he said he was the emperor? Who was Hu Heng? On what basis do you believe his empty words?! "

"Valley Master Hu's words are all bullshit!"

"Then you're saying that Seventh Prince is lying!"

"W-what?"

"This girl is a distant relative of Seventh Prince. Her ancestors are all innocent. The Prince had always been a cautious person. How could candidate lady, who wanted to be offered up to the palace, have an unknown origin? If Deputy Sect Master Ma had doubts, wouldn't he be saying that Seventh Prince was doing things blindly and was spouting nonsense? "Or perhaps you're trying to imply that the prince wants to harm the emperor …"

"You!"

"Vice Sect Master Ma, you must think this through clearly. The crime of slandering the imperial family can be huge or small. Even exterminating an entire family is not a problem!"

Ma Yuan's expression changed a few times. He clenched his teeth and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

"Vice Sect Leader!"

"Second Brother!"

"We're leaving just like that?"

Ma Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go! Do you want Young Master Yue to invite you to stay in the prison for a few more days!? " With that, he left with the group of people.

Yue Zijun saluted towards the direction they left in and smiled like a satisfied little fox.

Lu Haoran, who had witnessed the entire process, jumped down from the tree and couldn't help but sigh in admiration for the cold sweat on his back.

This Yue Zijun, he really knows how to scare people!

The next few days left peacefully, Lu Haoran did not encounter any trouble along the way with Yue Zijun. However, Lu Haoran knew that there was more than one group of people following quietly behind them. However, Yue Zijun didn't care, so he didn't say anything.

Up till now, he still didn't know what Yue Zijun was up to. Recalling the conversation he had with Yue Zijun that night, he felt that this person was even more difficult to figure out.

The other day he asked, "Is Young Master Yue really working for Seventh Prince?"

Yue Zijun asked, "Does Young Master Lu think I have the guts to pass myself off as Seventh Prince's aide?"

Lu Haoran's face stiffened and became quiet.

After a long while, he sighed: "For someone like Young Master Yue, I really can't imagine that you would be so obedient."

"Someone like me?" "What kind of person am I in your eyes?" Yue Zijun laughed.

Well? Yue Zijun's various expressions couldn't help but flash across Wu Tie's mind. He muttered to himself, "He's clearly a person who doesn't fear the heavens nor the earth. How can he work for the imperial government?" People like Yue Zijun were either planning and managing the overall situation or standing outside the world and looking at the weather with a smile. No matter how you looked at it, he didn't seem like someone who was willing to work for someone.

It was as if Lu Haoran's thoughts were written all over his face, and Yue Zijun immediately understood. He couldn't help but shake his head, and once again recited "idiotic cutie" a few times in his heart, then said: "There are many things that are not as simple as you seem on the surface. Why do you think that after you brought Miss Qian into my Tian Xin Building that day, no one came to make things difficult for us? Do you think that after being heavily surrounded by Heaven Vanishing Valley that day, I was able to escape unscathed? I, Yue Zijun, am just a mediocre martial artist, how could I be a match for the heroes of the realm? "

"Then you …"

"It's because they know that I'm backed by Seventh Prince. It's because they don't want to offend the people of the imperial government, otherwise, how many lives do you think I, Yue Zijun, will have to charge through Heaven Vanishing Valley alone?"

"Could it be that from the beginning …" The person who asked Yue Zijun to protect Qian Piaoxue was Seventh Prince?

"About this …" Yue Zijun smiled enigmatically, "It's better if Young Master Lu doesn't know about some things."

Lu Haoran looked at Yue Zijun's smiling face. He didn't know why, but he felt that it was annoying.

This Yue Zijun, half of his words were fake. Being with him was like being sold off and still counting money for him!
