Bai Zhanke's sudden pampering shocked Hua Mujin, and she did not even reject him at all as she let him gently caress his head, they were extremely close.

When he finally reacted, he hurriedly took a few steps back. Her cheeks were slightly hot. If it wasn't for the darkness of night, she would have been willing to find a hole to hide in.

"About that, I should go back now ?"

Hua Mujin only wanted to escape from the place as soon as possible while stuttering about the tone and expression in her eyes.

However, the moment he turned around, he saw the darkness before him. Gritting his teeth, he smiled foolishly and turned around. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he said, "About that, I, I came out for a breezes. I forgot to return to Soo Pavilion ?"

With a raised eyebrow, Bai Zhanke asked as he looked at Hua Mujin from top to bottom. "Why are you wearing night clothes?"

"?"

Hua Mujin laughed awkwardly, she did not know how to answer.

Seeing Hua Mujin laughing foolishly, Bai Zhanke stopped his thoughts of teasing her and pointed to the right in front of him. "Follow this road and turn right at the end, then turn left at the next intersection and turn right at the next intersection."

"Listen carefully," Hua Mujin memorized the way back. "Thank you, then I'll be leaving first."

Turning around, Hua Mujin tapped lightly with the tip of her foot. Just as she was about to leave, a warm hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"You are wearing night clothes. If you are discovered, you will be dealt with as an assassin. "It's better if I send you there. It's safer."

"Oh ?"

Subconsciously, Hua Mujin nodded and made an 'Oh' sound, then let Bai Zhanke hold her hand and headed back to the Pagoda pavilion. Along the way, the two of them maintained their silence. Neither of them broke the silence.

Until finally, Hua Mujin could no longer hold it in and asked.

"Why did you help me? Are you not afraid that I really am an assassin who came to assassinate your emperor? "

"You won't."

These three simple words negated Hua Mujin, but affirmed her.

"How do you know I won't? What if I am sent by someone else? Will you still help me like this? " Hua Mujin was currently a little unreasonable, but she felt that the man beside her should be careful.

"No matter what you do, I will help you."

With just that one sentence, Hua Mujin had some doubts, but she also felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Suddenly, she stopped. Hua Mujin opened her eyes wide as she looked at Bai Zhanke, and a voice that carried a tenderness and immaturity rang beside her ears, "No matter who you are, I will protect you for the rest of your life."

The scene that suddenly flashed past his mind caused Hua Mujin to clench her fists. Such fragmented images, would often appear in his mind for no apparent reason. But she didn't know what the pictures had to do with her.

Shaking her head, Hua Mujin tried her best to appear calm.

"I can already find my way back here, don't send me back. If someone discovers us, we'll all be in trouble." Suppressing her headache, Hua Mujin lightly bit her lips, shook off Bai Zhanke's hand, and did not stay any longer as she disappeared into the darkness.

Looking at its disappearing figure, Bai Zhanke stretched out his hand as if he wanted to grab hold of it, but when he clenched his fist, there was nothing there.

Shaking his head with a helpless smile, he turned around and left.

Back at the Exquisite Pavilion, Hua Mujin went back to his own room to change her clothes, then snuck into Mu Qiu's room to see that she was still sleeping soundly, so she laid down beside her on the bed. She was very glad that no one had noticed her this time, like a headless fly, sneaking out of the cave.

Although she had met Bai Zhanke by chance, she did not know why, but in her heart, she actually trusted him a lot. She trusted that he would not tell anyone that she had met him.

The next day, in the morning.

"Big Sister Jin, Big Sister Jin, wake up, we can't catch up anymore!"

Hua Mujin, who was still sleeping, was woken up by Mu Qiu. His eyes were hazy, as if a layer of muslin had covered them. She lazily sat up and yawned lazily.

"He turned his head and glanced at the half-open window, but it was only just barely lit up." Isn't it still early morning? What are you doing up so early? "

Hua Mujin was fast asleep, and with that, she laid back down.

Seeing that, Mu Qiu sighed, then stepped forward and pulled her up again.

"Don't sleep anymore. This mama had already sent someone early, saying that it was an important matter and that everyone should go to the attic." I think something happened last night. If you don't get up now, you won't make it in time. "

Suddenly, Hua Mujin sat up on the bed.
