Langyue had already picked up the clothes and bought some underwear for Yaojia. He went to the counter to queue up to pay.

At this time, two well-dressed ladies came over and stood behind Langyue and chatted.

"It is said that 'Men are afraid of choosing the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man'. This saying should really be reversed."

"That's right. What sin did the Le and Gu families commit? They promised their sons to two playboys respectively."

"This Le family is really something. If they want to marry into the royal family, why don't they send their daughter, but send their son instead?"

"You don't know this. At first, it was his daughter who was sent, but Prince Rui didn't like it. Fortunately, Prince Le was favored by Princess Anhe, so he could only go with the flow and accept the defeat!"

"At least Marquis Le still has a daughter by his side, which is better than the Gu family. The Gu family has only one child, and if she marries into the Nangong Mansion, there will be no descendants."

"That's right, the Nangong Mansion is still famous for being 'short-lived'."

Lang Yue was startled, and immediately turned back to look at the two ladies, and asked anxiously: "Is the Nangong Mansion you two aunts are talking about the Nangong Family in Kyoto? Which Gu family are they marrying into?"

When the two women saw that he had an extraordinary appearance, they immediately let down their guard and vied with each other to answer his questions.

"Of course it's the Nangong family in Kyoto."

"The one who wants to get married is the young master of Qilian Gujiabao. It is said that the two of them will get married privately in Jiangnan."

"Oh my! You don't know, people say that Young Master Nangong's virginity was given to Young Master Gu."

"Hey! Doesn't she have a Zhengjun?"

“I heard that Zhengjun is eight years older than her, like a little dad. This young fortress owner will be Pingjun when he enters the family, and can be on equal footing with Zhengjun.

It's the Emperor who granted them this marriage. In a few months they will be engaged in Kyoto, and they should be married next year."

Lang Yue's heart trembled slightly. Yao Jia was in Mingyang at the moment, so the one who was engaged to Fort Master Gu was the substitute.

After quickly paying the bill, Lang Yue ran out of the clothing store. He had to tell Yao Jia about this as soon as possible.

But when he arrived at Babao Tower and saw Yao Jia, and saw how innocent and carefree she was, he changed his mind.

Even if we tell Yao Jia that they are trapped here, it will only cause her more trouble. It would be better to just pretend that she doesn't know. This will be better for her.

Yao Jia, who was drooling at the delicious food on the table, looked up and saw Lang Yue standing not far away. He immediately waved at him.

"Langyue, why are you standing there like an idiot? Come and have your meal. I ordered several of the signature dishes here. Try them and see if they suit your taste."

Lang Yue walked over slowly, with mixed feelings in his heart but a smile on his face.

"Why did you take so long?" Yao Jia asked as she picked up some food for him.

“On the way back, I encountered a parade and was delayed for a while.”

There had indeed been a singing and dancing troupe passing by here just now, and Yao Jia had no suspicion.

He urged, "Let's eat quickly. The guys said there will be a bonfire party in the square later. It's rare for us to come down the mountain, so we must go and see it."

Lang Yue sighed in his heart, but smiled and agreed, "Okay."

As night fell, the three of them arrived at the central square of the town, where many people had already gathered, some sitting and some standing, all eagerly waiting.

Yao Jia was very excited and pulled Lang Yue to a more open place.

"The view here is really good. The bonfire party will definitely be exciting."

Lang Yue pinched Yao Jia's nose lovingly, "As long as you are happy."

After a while, accompanied by the sound of drums, a group of foreign dancers appeared in everyone's sight. They were wearing fiery red skirts and silver ornaments on their heads, and they danced gracefully to the rhythm of the drums.

The atmosphere in the square was immediately ignited and everyone cheered.

Yao Jia stared at him intently, clapping her hands and exclaiming, "So beautiful! Langyue, do you think all the women from other races are so passionate and unrestrained?"

Lang Yue lowered her eyes and said nothing, absentmindedly responding, "Maybe."

His mind had already drifted far away.

Just as he was lost in thought, Yao Jia excitedly pushed him, "Lang Yue, look, the fireworks are about to be set off."

Looking up, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky, lighting up the entire square like daylight, and cheers broke out among the crowd.

Next, the dancers in red began to look for dance partners on the periphery and pulled them into the venue to form a big circle.

Mingjue, who was standing not far away, had been pulled by a dancer.

Mingjue was a little at a loss and looked towards Yaojia, but Yaojia kept staring at Langyue.

Dancing around the bonfire can help people pray for good luck in the second half of the year, and many people have started to go in spontaneously.

Seeing Lang Yue standing there in a daze, Yao Jia smiled and pulled him into the circle, "Come on, let's go and dance too."

Lang Yue looked at Yao Jia's enthusiastic look and couldn't bear to spoil her fun, so he followed her in.

Everyone began to dance to the steps of the dancers in red and their singing, and stepped around the campfire.

Lang Yue looked at her innocent smile and felt more and more that it was right for him not to let Yao Jia know what happened in Kyoto.

It was not until late at night that the three of them returned to the bamboo forest.

In the following days, Yao Jia continued to learn martial arts from Xuan Ying, but now she didn't have to go to the Shadow Guard Camp, so she could have plenty of free time to spend with Lang Yue.

The two of them often went to cool off in the bamboo forest.

Langyue plays the piano while Yaojia practices swordplay, one is still and the other is moving, just like a couple of gods and goddesses.

When she was tired from practicing, Yao Jia sat on the ground and leaned on Lang Yue.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly. Lang Yue raised his hand, took Yao Jia into his arms, and whispered sweet words in her ear.

The warm breath sprinkled on Yaojia's earlobe, bringing a slight itch.

"Langyue, do you like it here?"

Lang Yue held Yao Jia's jade-like earlobe in his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Of course I like it."

Yao Jia narrowed her eyes in ecstasy, "Then when we return to Jiangnan, we will plant some bamboo in the yard. Jiangnan has abundant rainfall, so bamboo will surely grow better than here."

After hearing what Yao Jia said, Lang Yue was suddenly shocked.

Yao Jia soon noticed his abnormality, stood up and turned to look at him. Seeing that he looked pale, she couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong? Why does he look so bad?"

"Nothing, I just feel happy when I hear Yaoyao say this."

He tried hard to conceal his guilty conscience.

Who is Yao Jia? How could she be deceived by him in this life? She smiled at him, but when she opened her mouth, Lang Yue broke out in a cold sweat.

"You're hiding something from me!"

Lang Yue looked up and met a pair of clear and beautiful eyes. He felt uneasy and stammered as he told her everything he had heard in the garment shop that day.

After hearing this, Yao Jia stood up from the ground and looked at Lang Yue in astonishment. "You heard about it last month. If I hadn't noticed anything, how long would you have kept it from me?"

Lang Yue stood up quickly, "No, I wanted to find a chance to tell you, but..."

"Enough!" Yao Jia interrupted him harshly, looking at Lang Yue with a grim look.

She could marry anyone, why did that person have to be Gu Xiyan! Why did it have to be Gu Xiyan!

The Gu family, the clan she had personally led troops to strangle in her previous life, even though they had the most advanced weapons, could not escape the ravages of drugs. More than a hundred corpses were piled up into a mountain of corpses, and the fire burned for seven days and seven nights.

Yao Jia has never been a good man. Before leaving, he even killed the Gu family's watchdog with a sword and gave the reward to the soldiers as a snack.

Unfortunately, the soldiers vomited when they smelled the meat and threw it into the fire, allowing it to be reunited with its owners.

Lang Yue met her gaze and fell to the ground in fright. Why was Yao Jia so strange at this moment? The murderous aura emanating from her made him feel his hair stand on end.

Looking at the timid Lang Yue, Yao Jia smiled bitterly and closed her eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the murderous look in them had completely disappeared.

"Since you have second thoughts, don't stay with me."

Yao Jia picked up the sword on the ground and turned to leave.

Lang Yue rushed forward and tried to pull Yao Jia. He wanted to explain that he had never had any second thoughts about Yao Jia. His whole heart was on Yao Jia, on her. Both soul and body belonged to Yao Jia and only to Yao Jia.

"I didn't, Yaoyao, listen to me..."

Yao Jia swung his sword away and said, "Get out of here!"

The sharp scabbard cut Langyue's sleeve, and blood flowed down his arm, to his fingertips, and then dripped onto the ground.

Lang Yue's face turned pale, "Yaoyao... I didn't mean it... Please believe me..."

"what happened?"

Ming Jue, who came in a hurry, ran into the scene of Yao Jia swinging the sword at Lang Yue. He was shocked and immediately stepped forward to check Lang Yue's injuries.
