The mysterious scent that Tian Gan smelt was actually not a strange one. Instead, it was a faint, delicate fragrance that only a woman would give off. That fragrance seemed to be mixed with the scent of rouge, but it was not as strong or beautiful as the rouge. "Tian Gan had also smelled this familiar scent before, but at that time, he had only seen it as a signal of danger and had never cared about its scent. At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that this scent was dangerous.

She, who had left behind this fragrance, thought that she had done it watertight. She probably thought that no one would know that she was the one who led the way today. However, she was completely unaware that the smell she had left behind had betrayed her identity.

She found a quiet and quiet place to rest and slowed down her footsteps. Suddenly, she flew into the underbrush and only stretched out her shiny black eyes to once again look into the distance. After confirming that no one was following her, she came out from the underbrush.

Her footsteps were somewhat messy because she did not know where she was going. She had come with a purpose, but now her actions betrayed her heart and betrayed the task she was entrusted with.

This path was like an endless Bridge of Helplessness. There was no hope in sight. But she didn't seem to care, because she felt that he had finally made a decision for her mind. Even if the road was very confusing and dangerous, her heart was happy.

"At that time in the thatched cottage in the forest, you let go of me, who was poisoned, unable to retaliate at all. After that, you killed your comrade, Seven Lives Soul-Chasing Haze, to save my life; today, after much effort, you helped me open my mouth, and Miss Chong Li helped the heavens three times, not even waiting for the heavens to thank her, and then left without saying goodbye?"

She knew who the people behind her were, but she had not expected him to follow her. She had not expected him to say these words to her so calmly, because they had once been enemies of life and death.

She stopped her steps, but did not turn her head back. Instead, she said in a calm voice, "You and I are never on the same path. So what if I thank you or not?"

Her words were extremely plain, so faint that it seemed as if she was already somewhat averse to the world.

Tian Gan naturally couldn't deny that the people Zhong Li was talking about were not the same people as him, but according to the rules of the martial arts world, no matter what, he had to bend over to show his gratitude. Therefore, he continued in an extremely serious tone, "Lady Chong Li's words are wrong. Regardless of whether you are on the same path as me or not, this act of yours is already a great kindness to Heaven. Heaven has always done things to repay kindness.

However, he was not touched by the righteous words of the heavens. Instead, he continued to speak plainly: "I, Chong Li, have always been a man of my own choice, and had never thought of obtaining anything from anyone. You, Young Master Tian Gan, are the first disciple of the Mo Clan, how could you be a small-time villain? I think Young Master is trying to fall for injustice? "

"Then why do you keep trying to help Tian Gan, and yet you refuse to accept Tian Gan's thanks?" Tian Gan saw that Li Chong seemed to blame himself, so he asked with doubt.

"Does Young Master really not know why Chong Li is helping Young Master Tian Gan?"

Zhong Li's words were very concise, but very straightforward. These words fell like hail on a winter's day, crashing into the heart of Heaven.

Yes, although Tian Gan was the head disciple of the Mo family, the Mo family was a martial sect, not a royal family. Although the Mo family had six or seven branches that operated the world, most of them were born to help eliminate the strong and support the weak. All of them were honest and self-disciplined, not like those who worked in the rural areas. If it wasn't power or wealth, then there was only one thing left in this world that could make people act like moths, throwing themselves in regardless of the consequences.

It was the word 'love'. It was something that would never change from the ancient times until now.

Today, Chong Li violated the unsurpassable rules of the Chef Clan and helped Tian Gan. For the sake of this love word, he was just like that Yin Shuihan girl who loved Zhong Li's disguise three years ago. Even if Jing Ke saw through her killer's true identity, he still had to let her go for the same reason.

However, Chong Li was from the Mo family. In other words, he was the sworn enemy of the Xiang Li family. This could not be changed. Even if she didn't participate in the plan to destroy Moke Manor, the mastermind, Meng Wuying's subordinate, was still an accomplice.

The accomplice was also an enemy, and the heavens were clear on this point.

Therefore, this question of his caused Tian Gan's intentionally escaping heart to freeze. Although he clearly understood the answer to that sentence, he could only be confused due to the difference in status between them and the dangerous situation he was in.

He admitted that this was a huge chasm, so wide that he could not see the end of it, could not see any hope.

"It's already getting late. If Miss Chong Li still hasn't settled down yet, why don't you follow Tian Gan back to the guesthouse to rest for the night and wait until tomorrow to make up your mind." In the end, Tian Gan chose not to answer that question. Instead, he found an extremely pale excuse to change the topic.

Chong Li knew what Tian Gan was thinking at the moment, and knew that it would be meaningless to say anything more. This time, Tai Pao had once again sent her to carry out the mission of killing the Han family's Yu party members. She already knew that she would never be able to accomplish this task. According to the rules of the House of Hubby, if the holy order of the Great Son could not be completed, there was only one ending, and that was to be martyred to show his loyalty. Her first mission had failed, but she had survived the torture because she had made the lost Eight Dragons Divine Policy come back to life. She had made the heart of the Emperor happy, and she had been pardoned for her incompetence. However, luck was not always with her. Even if she were lucky enough to encounter something that could save her life, that would only save it. It would absolutely not be able to resist the determination to use her as a weapon.

If she went back, then she would probably never be able to leave the Deep Black Residence. Originally, the fact that she couldn't leave the depths of the Black Residence was nothing to her, but now the situation was different because she had a worry. A worry that she couldn't bear to part with. Therefore, she had no other choice but to slightly nod her head and follow Tian Gan back to his residence without saying a word.

At this moment, Fan Yuzhen and Cheng Feng were meeting as master and servant. They had accumulated feelings of parting for many years, so it was hard for them to say anything. At one point, Cheng Yu had thought that Fan Yicheng had betrayed him at the camp, but now that he knew that it was only Fan Yicheng's secret arrangements that allowed him to escape from danger and seek refuge in Zhao, he was relieved. After all, Fan Yicheng had never forgotten him as the eldest son. Even though Fan Yuzhen did not support him back then, he was probably the only old official loyal to him in the imperial court.

When the two of them were in a state of confusion, the door of the hostel suddenly creaked, silencing them, and they both looked towards the door to see a handsome chivalrous warrior standing there. Both of them recognized him, and it was this person who had helped Fan Jian along his journey to this place. However, the fact that Tian Gan brought back such a beautiful girl still shocked the two of them.

"Who is this lady?" When Fan Yuzhen saw Zhong Li, he was confused. He raised his hand to Zhong Li, but then asked about that day.

"She is the person I was talking about earlier who guided me." Tian Gan's words were neither fast nor slow, and his voice was clear as he explained to the two of them. His words seemed very relaxed.

Tian Gan knew very well what sort of status Zhong Li had. He naturally couldn't tell Fan Yuzheng the truth about Zhong Li and kill the evil fiend from the Han Estate. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable. Therefore, he had to calm his heart and calmly answer the questions he was about to ask. He had to try his best to make the voice he made sound as flawless as possible.

"Oh," Fan Yuzhen nodded his head in agreement, understanding Tian Gan's explanation, and then cupped his fists towards Zhong Li, "Lady Fan and I have never had a peaceful life, but we did not hesitate to help you, which really makes me very grateful. May I ask what your name is so that you can repay me in the future? "

When Zhong Li saw Fan Yuzhen ask such a polite question, he cupped his fists in greeting, but very simply replied, "General Fan is too serious, your clumsy daughter is only a group of people who roamed the world."

The reason why Zhong Li had replied so simply was because she could not say anything else. She knew that talking too much meant losing, so the less information she could reveal, the better.

"Miss Chong Li is also from my Mo Clan, and today we ran into General Fan and I today to visit the eldest young master. We saw that we were both fooled by the eldest young master's disguise, and were afraid that we would miss the opportunity to visit you, so we decided to guide him." Tian Gan knew why his answer was so concise, so he explained from the side so that he could arrange for a new identity so as to avoid any doubts.

"Oh, I see." When Fan Yuzhen heard that the Li Zhong was also a member of the Mo Sect, and that these words came from the mouth of the Heaven, which protected him with his life, he naturally believed them, and was enlightened immediately.

"Lady Chong Li is truly of the phoenix bloodline. She was actually able to see through my disguise so easily. She must be an expert in this field." At this time, Cheng Yu also stood up, staring unblinkingly at Li, and said intentionally.

Speaking the word "disguise", of course, no one in the Mo family could compare to Zhong Li, but someone who used the art of disguise either had an unspeakable secret or was a cold-blooded killer from the martial arts world. Cheng Yu's purposeful words seemed to be probing something, and his eyes seemed to have a sharp feeling of wanting to see through people, making Zhong Li feel flustered. However, she knew that she could not mess around at the moment, so she deliberately avoided his gaze. She smiled and said, "A clumsy girl only knows how to look superficial."

"Miss Chong Li was an expert in disguising herself in the Mo family, that's why she was able to see through the disguise of the eldest young master," Tian Gan explained, taking out the hairpin and thin cloth from his pocket and continued to explain, "But the Mo family has its own rules, if you don't have the sacred order, you can't reveal your identity, which is why Miss Zhong Li was forced to take this hairpin and throw it at the head of the bed in the middle of the night to warn me."

"When Brother Qian left the house that day, he headed straight east in search of the eldest young master. Was he guided by Miss Chong Li?" After hearing Tian Gan's explanation, Fan Yuzhen then remembered that he had been able to go out the other day and knew that the search would be carried out from the east. That was why he had this question.

"That's right." Tian Gan saw that Fan Yuzheng was asking again, so he explained everything to him, "When I found out that the native I met earlier in the day was the eldest son of the clan, I didn't dare stay for long and led General Fan into the house. When he got there, he found that the room was empty except for a pile of charcoal on the floor. Since the charcoal was still burning, Young Master Chang must have decided to leave this place on the spur of the moment. Strangely enough, the charcoal sparks seemed to have been tampered with and started to fly in all directions in a regular pattern, and I guessed that someone was trying to attract my attention with fire. Fire belongs to the east, so I was sure that the person who was there wanted to tell me that Young Master must have headed east, so I followed the trail. "

"Hahaha, how wonderful," Fan Yuzhen laughed after hearing Tian Gan's words, praising him again and again, "The members of the Mo family are truly intelligent, courageous, and extraordinary. Even the ladies would not yield to them, no wonder even the famous Wang Jian had to make such a huge comeback, what a godly person!"

"General Fan is praising me too much. The Mo Clan is only being cautious in their conduct and isn't as miraculous as the general says they are." Tian Gan listened to Fan Yizheng's praise, and quickly lowered his head and clapped his hands, as he said very respectfully.

"Brother Tian Gan, please do not be humble, all the families in the world have sent hundreds of people, but only the Mo Clan acts in this way, so they should have this reputation."

"..."

The mutual praise and rejection between Yu Chen and Tian Gan had completely unwittingly pushed their situation to the brink of danger. This was because outside of the house, there was the silhouette of a head that was pressed against the windowsill under the dim moonlight. Hearing the words of the people in the room, it slowly moved down from the window and disappeared into the vast moonlit night along with that light figure. Originally, according to Tian Gan and Zhong Li's constant vigilance, these obvious traces definitely wouldn't escape their senses. It was a pity that today, Li Chong's thoughts were only on hiding his identity, while Tian Gan was wholeheartedly trying to help her. He was constantly making up stories, and the two of them had already been distracted by Fan Sizhe, not caring about the suspicious figure lurking around them.

There were some things that the more one wanted to avoid, the more one was unable to avoid them.

"..."
