"Who the hell are you? How did you know that the jade pendant was the fourth prince?

When the man heard this, he immediately gestured to Yue Ziyue, "The Li Jing Emperor bestowed this jade pendant to each prince. Every prince has a jade pendant with dragon markings on it to display their status."

With that, the man kept the jade pendant in his hand and said, "I believe you should also know that stealing the prince's jade pendant is not as simple as just killing your head."

Yue Ziyue's heart sank. She clenched the silver notes in her hands and asked, "You still haven't answered my question?"

The man merely smiled. Before he left, he said, "Of course there is a reason."

Looking at the man's departing back, although Yue Ziyue's heart was a bit bitter, it was likely that she herself would not suffer a loss. Since this man gave the pawnshop a price, what was there for her to care about?

Tian'er was getting heavier and heavier, her stomach rumbling with hunger. Yue Ziyue arrived at the restaurant and directly asked the waiter for a private room, ordering a large table of food and heartily eating.

Thinking about it, it was really strange. Yue Ziyue's current status as a beggar, had caused her to starve a lot before. Now, with a huge table in front of her, two-thirds of the food had been easily taken care of by her alone.

After a hearty meal, drowsiness welled up in his heart. After exiting the restaurant, he found a relatively good inn and found a good room.

Even before he could lie down, the corridor outside the door was brightly lit, and there were suddenly more people coming and going.

Just as Yue Ziyue got up from her bed, the door was pushed open by someone. The person who entered was none other than the fourth prince, Yan Muqing.

Yue Ziyue's heart sank as she cried out, 'How could she be found so quickly?'

"You thief, how dare you steal from my young master!"

Beside Yan Muqing stood a chivalrous hero with a longsword in his hand. He had delicate features, but his expression was one of slight anger.

At this moment, Yan Muqing suddenly raised her hand, signaling the people beside her not to do so. When she turned her head to look at Yue Ziyue, her clear and cold eyes had a trace of gentleness in them.

"If you like my jade pendant, I can exchange it for another one. However, the one that you took away has a different meaning to me."

Yue Ziyue naturally understood in her heart that the man had said that every prince had a jade pendant that symbolized their status. Her actions were already insufficient to protect her life for ten times.

However, the problem now was that she had sold the jade pendant. Yan Muqing had brought a group of people to ask for the jade pendant, giving Yue Ziyue a headache.

"Young master, did you recognize the wrong person? I did not take your jade pendant."

As Yue Ziyue spoke, she got off the bed. At this moment, Yan Muqing's face was somewhat gloomy, that jade pendant seemed to be very important to her.

"Take him away!"

"Xue Chao."

Yan Muqing blocked Xue Chao once again, then she shot a pair of ice-cold eyes towards Yue Ziyue, "Lady, I don't have the time to joke with you. If you take my jade pendant, as long as you give it back to me, I will let bygones be bygones."

Yue Ziyue was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. However, she had already sold her jade pendant and had spent a portion of the money she had received. It would be too late to explain now.

He could only smile awkwardly, "Young Master, if you continue to pester me and wrongly accuse me, don't blame me for suing you for harassment!"

Xue Chao immediately became angry, "What a tough talker, take him away!".

At this time, Yan Muqing no longer stopped Xue Chao. Her pair of deep, bottomless, ice-cold eyes indifferently looked at Yue Ziyue.

Yue Ziyue struggled, but was firmly held back by the two soldiers behind her. From time to time, her frail body would try to break free from the imprisonment.

Yan Muqing was tall and tall. She coldly looked at Yue Ziyue who had walked up to her, her pretty eyes suddenly glued to him for a moment. Then, she calmly said, "Miss, is there anything that's difficult to say? Lack of money? "

This sentence was like a thorn that stabbed straight into Yue Ziyue's heart. If this man had asked her this question earlier, she wouldn't have stolen his jade pendant.

"I already said that I didn't take it."

"Nonsense!" In the entire Jade Moon Restaurant, only you have gotten close to Fourth Master, who else could it be other than you! "

Behind Yan Muqing, Xue Chao roared. He was extremely similar to the owner of the jade pendant that had been lost.

"Xue Chao."

Yan Muqing's eyes were still cold as she interrupted Xue Chao's words. She seemed to be suppressing her anger while facing Yue Ziyue, and softly asked once more, "How about a fair competition between us?"

As soon as Yue Ziyue heard that she had a way out, she immediately nodded in agreement, "Speak, what kind of competition?"

"Racing."

"What!"

Yue Ziyue was escorted out of the inn by someone else, following Yan Muqing. In an inn, the moon was bright and dazzling, and the land was quiet.

Yue Ziyue complained in her heart while muttering to herself, just which lunatic would come running out to race in the middle of the night? Moreover, she was a modern person who had been transported to this world, so how could she ride a horse?

As expected, although the man's tone of voice was very gentle, in reality, he was plotting against her from head to toe. He wanted to make her concede defeat wholeheartedly and spit out the jade pendant.

Before Yue Ziyue could see the situation clearly and retort, Xue Chao had already ordered two of his lackeys to bring the two horses over.

Wearing the moonlight, Yan Muqing leaped lightly onto the back of her horse. She looked down at Yue Ziyue and said, "Lady, please."

Yue Ziyue was left with no choice but to use this method to extricate herself. If she won, she would be safe and sound. If she lost, she would just have to eat and drink. At most, she could just ride her horse and escape.

Thinking of this, Yue Ziyue awkwardly climbed onto the horse's back, swaying unstably. Her small face flushed red from anxiety, making her feel increasingly unconfident.

"Let the girl run ten meters away, and the girl run ten meters away. Let me compete again."

Yan Muqing was riding on a horse, and under the moonlight, she appeared exceptionally bold. Yue Ziyue's heart was slightly moved, but she still put more of her energy into the competition.

"You've let me win!"

Yue Ziyue swayed, her buttocks pressed tightly against the horse's back, afraid that she would accidentally fall down.

Hearing Xue Chao's mocking laughter behind her, Yue Ziyue turned around angrily, glared at Xue Chao, and snorted coldly. She then pinched the horse's belly with her feet as if she was doing it properly.

The horse suddenly galloped out. Fortunately, Yue Ziyue had grabbed ahold of the dungeon, otherwise, a newbie would definitely fall down and make a big joke out of it.

It was the first time they rode a horse and still galloped. Yue Ziyue's carefree and candid character was pushed to the extreme. Her self-confidence was once again found.

However, not long after, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from behind her. In just a few seconds, Yan Muqing was already riding her horse by Yue Ziyue's side, her clothes fluttering in the wind.
