After Lu Zi Nuo kowtowed, he turned and left. The pain in her eyes from the past few days was gone, replaced by a tranquil and calm look, like an amber that had been polished.

She refused to lose it, but she knew it was easy to say. Luckily, she was still young, so there were many paths ahead of her in the future. If he was destined to obtain it, if he was destined to lose it, then what would heaven defying destiny do!?

Going down the stone stairs, the surrounding vegetation was slightly yellow, and was about to fall, a desolate scene, but Lu Zi Nuo's state of mind was different from before, after frowning for a while, he finally sighed, as though he was sighing.

However, silence and regret were never Lu Zi Nuo's way to solve the problem. She could only make himself stronger, and could only make himself stronger.

The gentle wind swept through Lu Zi Nuo's tied up long hair, yet, it did not dare to unceremoniously draw out her exquisite contours. Lu Zi Nuo's expression had the coldness of someone returning from a calamity, the usual disdain in her eyes gone, and her eyes contained a warm and gentle smile, as though the place she was looking at was merely an unfamiliar field. He was her, but was not her.

"Zeno." Mu Rong Yuan stood at the foot of the stairs, looking up at Lu Zi Nuo, pulling her out of the past and back to present.

Lu Zi Nuo slowly revealed a face when he saw Mu Rong Yuan. This smile was not filled with the bitterness of days, but rather the calmness after washing up. It was like a giant tree that had just experienced a storm. She placed his hand into Mu Rong Yuan's and followed him down the stairs.

They hadn't seen each other for almost a month. When they saw each other again, even though their hearts were pounding, their expressions were still calm.

Lu Zi Nuo unconsciously retracted his hand, and with his back facing him, he slowly walked forward. As a man, she seemed to have gained a calmness that was not present in the past.

"I'll be going back to the Shengjing tomorrow morning. Can I not go back until I'm drunk tonight?"

"Alright!" Mu Rong Yuan did not condone Lu Zi Nuo who was already shallow; he just knew that she needed an outlet for her emotions.

"Do you regret sending Zi Ling and Chang Sheng off?" After walking silently for a while, Mu Rong Yuan asked.

"Incomparable regret, but it's useless."

"Zino, then have you ever thought about what would happen to her if you didn't send Zi Ling away?"

Thinking back to when Zi Ling was withering rapidly after smelling the imperial edict, Lu Zi Nuo's frozen heart suddenly warmed up. That's right, if she did not send Zi Ling away then she would have died as well, and suffocated to death like a fish in a pond.

"But even so, at least she still has her family to accompany her, and she won't die from grief." Lu Zi Nuo's expression was still gloomy.

"You're not Zi Ling, how do you know that she died from sadness? It was always more meaningful than never trying to win it. Zi Ling is a woman worthy of my admiration. "

Lu Zi Nuo knew that it was Mu Rong Yuan's words of consolation, it was not accurate, but he agreed with him. If Zi Ling was waiting for death at home, he might as well go all out like this.

The weather on the next day was extremely good. It was already late autumn, the cool wind was silent and the autumn water was silent. Lu Zi Nuo and Mu Rong Yuan stood opposite each other.

"I wonder when we'll meet again." Mu Rong Yuan felt slightly sad before leaving. As he spoke, he put his hand on Lu Zi Nuo's shoulder and squeezed hard. A few days ago, she was extremely thin.

"Take good care of yourself."

"I know." Lu Zi Nuo blinked his eyes, he was not used to this kind of situation, and muttered: "You too."

"This is for you."

Mu Rong Yuan took out an item from his bosom. It was the dagger that Lu Zi Nuo had given to the Chieh-kun city gate that day.

He passed it over to Lu Zi Nuo: "Put it away properly, don't give it to others easily. When I gave it to you, I didn't mention where it came from. "But it's …"

"I know!" Lu Zi Nuo lowered her head even more. According to legend, this dagger was a keepsake given to her by Tai Zong for his beloved concubine. She understood the seriousness of Mu Rong Yuan's words when he gave it to her.

"After you go back, if you have any difficulties, you must look for your elder brother."

"No!" Lu Zi Nuo's expression changed three times, as though he had swallowed a live goldfish.

Lu Zi Nuo's reaction made Mu Rong Yuan unable to hold back his laughter. He protected Lu Zi Nuo and he also protected the truth that Lu Zi Nuo was a woman. He did not want anyone to know this secret.

"Alright," Mu Rong Yuan said with a smile. He pulled the horse forward and used his hands to support himself on the horse. Seeing that, Lu Zi Nuo did not hesitate and immediately mounted his horse.

The two of them were not far from each other. They looked at each other and smiled, saying that they were safe on their journey, then they rode their horses and lashed out with their whips, leaving the road covered in dust. Neither of them turned back, just like when they first saw each other.

However, the two of them both knew clearly that there was no life in this world that they had never seen before. The past was like surging ocean waves, occasionally gentle and occasionally turbulent, and because of their past polishing, they became the present them. Neither of them feared parting, because when they met again, they would become even better themselves.

This time, they were not in a hurry to return to the Shengjing, so they did not have to worry about anything along the way. In the end, on the evening of the second day, when they arrived at the outskirts of Lu Prefecture's Upper Plaza, Di Xian suggested to enter the city to rest. Lu Zi Nuo did not object.

Right after entering King Lu Realm, no matter where he went, he would hear a name — — An He Zhen.

When she mentioned An He Zhen, Lu Zi Nuo couldn't help but think of the source of her five elder sisters who had been summoned to the palace.

People had to look at things from different angles. For example, although An He Zhen had pushed his sisters into the palace, forcing a family to break down, it was still him who survived the countless families in the upper echelons of the Party. Lu Zi Nuo had no way to judge whether these were good or bad. After all, he shouldn't judge things that he did not understand.

The beautiful scenery of Lu Province, the pure and simple hearts of the people, and the charming and gentle scenery of living and working in peace made Lu Zi Nuo feel a tinge of admiration from the bottom of his heart.

However, after entering the Upper Party City, for some reason, everything in the city felt extremely tense. There were many marquis patrolling on the streets. Under such leisurely times, their uniform pace would only make people feel flustered. Even many shops only had half a door open, as if they were in danger.

Di Xian instinctively stopped her horse. "I keep having this feeling that something is amiss, how about … Let's just go out of the city. "

Originally, Lu Zi Nuo felt that something was wrong, but when he saw that a few people had appeared on the street in front of him, the one leading them was Mu Rong Chun.
