C36 Would You Please Accept It

Xin Cangqu looked at her with a smile. "Who else did Sister Su think it was?" "Young Master Ruan?"

"I... "Lord Cang, I have nothing to do with him, I …" Su Jiu tried her best to explain.

"Sister Su, no need to be nervous. I've already understood everything, but …" Xin Cangqu lifted her hand to wipe away her tears, a slight smile of confusion still hung on her lips, but there was a rare seriousness in her eyes. "This is an ominous person, a demon that stirred up the world and caused bloodlust and coldness, so I don't want Sister Su to get too close to me, and even more so, I don't want you to get involved with Ben in any way. If not, Sister Su, can you understand my intentions?"

Although these words were spoken with goodwill, Su Jiu still felt a piercing pain in her heart when she heard these words. However, it was only for a moment, Su Jiu grabbed the hand that was stopped on the side of her face, and looked deeply at Xin Cangqu with tears in her eyes, "Su Jiu is not afraid, not afraid of anything. If it's really as Lord Cang said, then Su Jiu will willingly accept the punishment even if it comes to her. Just Lord Cang... Even if you don't like me, don't push me to the side! "

Looking at Su Jiu's deep feelings, Xin Cangqu could not bear to see this. After a moment of silence, she finally uttered the word "good".

After this incident and the delay, the three of them had no choice but to speed up their journey. Otherwise, they would not be able to leave this mountain today.

In fact, Kunwu Jiongnuo and Xin Cangqu both hoped that Su Jiu would be following them along the way, so that they could at least get a good night's sleep without having to worry about losing their lives in the dream. The reason why Nine Heroes Ridge was able to become the head of one of the Six Great Sects in Wu Lin was naturally because of his exceptional qualities.

However, the only thing that was inconvenient was that if they wanted to make a move on the other party, they would have to think of a way to avoid Su Jiu and prevent her from becoming suspicious. Therefore, they had to think things over carefully.

After they left the mountain, the sun had already set. The three of them found an inn to stay at. The next day, Xin Cangqu bought another three horses and the three of them continued their journey.

Just like this, they passed by eight cities along the way, and it had been seven days since they left the Kunyang City.

The sun rose and set again. The sky gradually darkened, but this time, there was no room for business in the village. This time, they were afraid that they would have to camp out in the wilderness again.

The three people on horseback looked at the endless mountain road before them and stopped in unison.

Kunwu Jiongnuo tilted his head and looked at Xin Cangqu beside him. With a teasing tone, he said, "This time, did Lord Cang order someone to find a place to stay and prepare the food and wine beforehand?"

He was having a good dream! He did not reply. The jade fan then closed its mouth and leapt into the air, gently landing on a ten meter tall tree at the side of the road in front of them. However, the tree did not look like it was carrying a weight at all, as if it was just a feather.

Xin Cangqu stood on top of a tree with her hands behind her back and looked into the distance. Other than mountains after mountains, there were only uneven paths in the distance and she could not help but frown. If he was by himself, it would be alright, at least he wouldn't need to be on guard against the Evil Ghost, but now, as he was within the boundaries of the Kunwu, he was under the control of others, so he had to be extra careful.

After pondering for a moment, he lightly tapped his foot on the ground and jumped down.

Her bright red clothes fluttered in the wind, drawing a beautiful rainbow in the sky. Looking from afar, it was as if that person was stepping on a rainbow from the Moon Palace, an extremely beautiful person.

Kunwu Jiongnuo dismounted from his horse and walked gracefully towards Xin Cangqu. His casual few steps were drawn under his feet, but it was incomparably elegant and enjoyable, with each step he took being charming without any repetitions, and the faint smile on his lips. There was also a tinge of slyness in his elegance, and between his brows, there was also a hint of evil and insolence.

Xin Cangqu's heart skipped a beat when she heard the sound. It seemed that he was prepared to make a move. With a raised eyebrow, he asked a question instead of answering, "I wonder if Prince Jiong has any good suggestions?"

"This place is rarely seen. Even if you flip the entire mountain over, it would likely be difficult to find a place to rest, let alone food." Su Jiu, who was standing behind him, looked around and sighed.

"This King once brought Liyuan here for a tour in his childhood and understood the terrain of this place quite well. I wonder if Lord Cang and Heroine Su can trust This King?" Kunwu Jiongnuo shook his jade fan and said.

"Oh? "Did Prince Jiong really think of a good place?" Xin Cangqu greeted his gaze with a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.

In that instant, Kunwu Jiongnuo's heart jumped when he was struck by that scarlet red light. He could not help but curse in his heart: Damn Fire Demon! Did he see through it? It doesn't matter, this time, let This King see what else you can do!

If we go this way, we will see a bamboo forest after passing a cliff. As long as we pass that bamboo forest, we will be able to reach a residence. That was where I and Liyuan stayed all those years ago.

Upon hearing that, Su Jiu also dismounted and walked forward, "Great, then please let Prince Jiong lead the way."

Kunwu Jiongnuo raised his fan again to stop Su Jiu, who was about to walk down the road. "Don't worry. Just listen to what This King has to say."

Seeing this, Xin Cangqu could not help but curse in her heart. Evil Ghost, damn you, I already knew that you had something to say.

"That bamboo forest is called the Quiet Bamboo Forest, and the forest is extremely dangerous. Presumably, many years ago, a hidden expert didn't want others to know of his whereabouts, so he laid down countless hidden traps and exquisite formations." Kunwu Jiongnuo continued.

Glimmers danced in Xin Cangqu's eyes as she thought to herself mockingly, "So it's like that!"

"Since Prince Jiong and Prince Li have entered that dark bamboo forest, they must know the safe way out, right?" Su Jiu placed her bet on Kunwu Jiongnuo.

"Heroine Su doesn't know. The last time I entered the Quiet Bamboo Forest, I was injured as well. Now, it's only me. If I can't care less about the both of you, wouldn't that mean …" Kunwu Jiongnuo dragged his words as he looked at Xin Cangqu with a rare sense of modesty.

If Xin Cangqu really died here, it would have nothing to do with him, Kunwu Jiongnuo. Even if Xin Cangqu managed to make it out of the forest alive, it would definitely drain her energy, so he wouldn't be a match for her. At that time, he could personally take her life and then throw her body back into the dark bamboo forest.
