In every era, there was no lack of people who dared to be the first in the world. Such people, daring to take responsibility for others, could throw away their heads and shed blood for a certain ideal or belief, such as Jing Ke and Gao Jianli.

When Liang Rufeng said that he would go with them to search for the Nine Serenities Temple, Ye Mo Han had a good helper. But when Zhu Xingtong also wanted to go, Ye Mo Han's thoughts started to get messy. It was hard for him to tell whether he wanted Zhu Xingtong to travel with him because Zhu Xingtong had nothing to do with this matter. He was afraid that he would feel guilty and regretful after this incident, or simply because Zhu Xingtong's gaze towards Dongfang Rui had made him unhappy.

The displeasure in his heart was not jealousy, but a faint uneasiness. When Ye Chanhan didn't want Dongfang Rui to go to the far north for no reason, he told her about his worries. Dongfang Rui only smiled and then firmly told her that she had to go to the far north. As for Zhu Xingtong, letting him go or not had nothing to do with Dongfang Rui.

When it was Ye Mo Han's decision whether or not Zhu Xingtong would go to the Northern Lands, Ye Mo hesitated. Zhu Xingtong had fought with him in the chaotic army and had a close relationship with him. If he went, he would be a very good helper. It was only at that moment that Ye Wen realized that he was still worried about Dongfang Rui. Ye Mo Han also understood that with Dong Fang Rui's martial arts skills and methods, how many people would be her opponent in the martial arts world? However, the Jade Pavilion was in a cold place in the far north, and there were so many powerful warriors and strange people inside that it was hard to imagine. It was not as dangerous as the martial arts world.

Dong Fang Rui guessed at Ye Wen's intentions and said, "If you insist on not letting me go, then that's fine too. I will return to the Thousand Poisons Sect and kill the usurpers, one at a time until my homeland is destroyed." Her expression was stern and resolute. Ye Wen knew that there was no difference and could only let her go. However, the uneasiness in his heart did not lessen in the slightest.

After a discussion, the four decided to choose an opportunity to leave. However, when Fang Xiaonuo entered the Mayor's Mansion, he seemed to sense that a few people were about to leave, so he sent more men to guard the city day and night. Although it was said that he was protecting the four of them, he was actually monitoring them. However, how could a few ordinary guards monitor them? It was just that Ye Mo Han had been in the Mo family for a long time, and because of Mo Xi Yan, he didn't want to fall out with the Wisdom City again. After Ye Mo Han and Zhu Xingtong took advantage of the chaos of the Black Peak Crane's camp, Mo Yunfan sent someone to bring some treasures to the two of them and told Fang Xiaonuo to treat them well. After receiving Mo Yunfan's instructions, Fang Xiaonuo did not report what had happened to Eastern Rui in Wise Yang City. His opponent had also sent out an order not to spread the news that Eastern Rui was here, in case Bai Qing came to cause trouble.

Half a month passed and the great army outside of Hui Yang City did not show any signs of retreating, nor did they come forward to attack the city again. With this, Fang Xiaonuo also spent the whole day at the Mayor's mansion, and the amount of people he had sent to the residence of Ye Mo Han and the other three became more and more. Regarding this, Liangrou didn't seem to mind. Zhu Xingtong had been persuading the three of them to capture Fang Xiaonuo and let him escort them out. The proposal had just been made, and Ye Mo Han and Dong Fang Rui looked at each other and smiled. When Dong Fang Rui had first come to the Wise Sun City to leave, she had also relied on Fang Xiaonuo to escape.

"You're not in a rush, are you?" You're not in a hurry, are you? Zhu Xingtong came out of the Jing and Xuan Palace like a fish into a river, flying in the clear sky. Although she was in danger, she felt great inside. During this period of time, he was not used to being watched by others in the bamboo garden, so he had accumulated quite a bit of anger. The reason why he wanted to find the Nine Serenities Temple was also because he wanted to take the opportunity to meet Sun Muxia. Since the Mo Clan only had him, he should have an explanation. Leaving the Mo Clan without arousing Mo Yunfan's suspicions, the best method was to go with Ye Mo Han. Of course, all of this was built on the assumption that Zhu Xingtong hadn't revealed her identity.

"Of course." Dong Fang Rui replied with a resolute and decisive tone.

Liang Rufeng muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "We must think of a proper way to leave this place. We must do our best not to engage in unnecessary conflict with the Mo Clan."

Liang Rufeng was not willing to fight with the Mo Clan because of Mo Xi Yan, and Ye Mo Han was too. It could even be said that the two of them were friends. In this period of time, when Mo Xi Yan had written a letter to Ye Mo Han, Dong Fang Rui had also read it with Ye Mo Han's permission. Between the lines, there were no intimate words between a man and a woman. Dong Fang Rui naturally understood Mo Xi Yan's intentions. Seeing her like this, she laughed off the conflict between the two of them earlier. In her heart, she wanted to talk with Mo Xi Yan for a long time, become close friends with her, and even fantasized about the scene where the three of them were living together.

"Recently, Fang Xiaonuo sent people to stay out of the garden all night long. There is also the Xuan Peak Crane army outside the city. It is impossible for us to not be discovered if we take advantage of the darkness." Ye Mo Han thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't find a way to leave without causing conflict with others.

"Around the bamboo garden, there were 120 people in the first half of the night, and the number increased to 200 in the second half of the night. The time of transfer is also different every day, so the number of people shouldn't be the same." Dong Fang Rui had just figured out the distribution of manpower in the past few days, and hadn't thought of a way to leave without moving her weapon.

Zhu Xingtong paced back and forth. Suddenly, he slapped his head and said, "The two of us are from Jing Xuan Palace, and both of us have orders. Just say that we are leaving here for some secret missions, I bet he wouldn't dare to force us to stay."

"Have you forgotten how we broke out of the city gate a few days ago?" Ye Mo Han didn't agree with Zhu Xingtong's words; he understood Fang Xiaonuo's intentions. Although they had promised Fang Xiaonuo that they would have no heart to fight for the position of Pope, they only had words to back it up. Who could guarantee that Dongfang Rui wouldn't leave in order to snatch the position of Pope, and then destroy the alliance between the Mo family and the Thousand Poisons Sect's Bai Dai?

It would never be easy to form an alliance, but it would be very easy to break it down. With Eastern Rui's status, if she went back to the Thousand Poison Sect and called out to them, there would be many people from the old sects that would respond. At that time, Dongfang Rui would become the enemy of the Mo family, and Fang Xiaonuo would definitely not be willing to shoulder that responsibility. Fang Xiaonuo had never seen him before, but he had heard of his name as well. Such a character, when he came to Yang City, Fang Xiaonuo was naturally happy and wanted to take him in for his own use. This point, from the time when Fang Xiaonuo invited a few people from time to time, the flattery towards Liang Rufeng was able to pry a little. However, Fang Xiaonuo also knew about Mo Xi Yan and the teenager as good as the wind, so she did not dare to let the news spread to the Jing and Xuan Palace. She was afraid that Mo Xi would find out and cause unnecessary trouble.

"If we can't fight, then we can't talk. We might as well just stay here and let them die for us." Zhu Xingtong mocked.
