Chu Nanxi walked to the territory of Western Xia, her stomach growling with hunger.

There is no village or shop nearby, so we can only find ways to solve the problem of food and clothing.

He walked to the river, condensed his true energy and slapped down with his palm. Several fish instantly jumped onto the shore. He was happily picking up the fish when he suddenly heard someone shouting.

"Ah! Who is it? Don't you see anyone here?"

Soon two young masters came over and angrily scolded Chu Nanxi.

"Boy, can't you catch fish in the river? Why do you have to use your crappy martial arts to catch fish? Look, I'm all splashed with water. What do you think I should do?"

"I'm sorry I didn't see you guys by the river. How about I build a fire to dry your clothes?"

"Don't be rude. My little... young master is not used to undressing in front of outsiders."

"How about I build a fire and you guys roast your clothes while I go roast the fish somewhere else?"

"can."

Chu Nanxi built a fire and walked to the river to clean the fish, then grilled them at a distance.

Qiu Shui watched Chu Nanxi leave and said, "Miss, please take off your clothes quickly so that I can dry them for you, or you will get sick from wearing wet clothes."

Song Liuli, the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Song of Western Xia, slapped her servant's head violently.

"Qiu Shui, what's wrong with you? You always call me by the wrong name."

"I am Young Master Song Li now. If you call me by the wrong name again, I will punish you."

"Miss, I was wrong. I can't change my words immediately, but I will correct it."

"If you call me the wrong name again, don't follow me."

"Miss, where would your servant go if I didn't follow you?"

"Go home."

"If I go back home alone, Madam will definitely beat me to death. I will follow the young lady and protect her safety."

"Stop talking and grill it quickly. I'm afraid that blind guy will come over."

"Yes."

Qiu Shui quickly dried Song Liuli's clothes, and as soon as the clothes were dried, a fragrant smell came to her nose.

"It's delicious."

"My dear, you are hungry. I will go catch some fish and grill it for you."

"By the time you catch the fish and grill it, I would have fainted from hunger."

"What shall I do? I will go and ask that young master for two for you to try."

Song Liuli saw Qiu Shui was wet and said, "You dry the clothes here, I'll go and ask for them."

"How can that be possible? You are a lady from a noble family. How can you do such a thing? If you tell others about it, people will laugh at you."

"Qiu Shui, why did you call me the wrong name again? It seems that I cannot keep you around, otherwise your identity will be discovered sooner or later."

"Miss, please don't chase me away. I will definitely change."

"I'll give you one last chance. If you call me wrong next time, you can go back home."

"Yes."

"Hurry up and dry the clothes. I will go by myself. Seeing your timid attitude, I am worried that you will be exposed. If you get sick wearing wet clothes, you still need me, a master, to take care of you."

"Thank you for your concern, sir."

Song Liuli came to Chu Nanxi's side, and when she smelled the aroma of grilled fish, she immediately became extremely greedy.

Having run for a whole day to avoid the servants, he was already starving. When he saw the grilled fish, his eyes lit up and he had forgotten all about etiquette and rules.

Chu Nanxi saw her staring at the fish and guessed that she was hungry too, so she handed her two grilled fish.

"Take it and eat it as my apology."

"You splashed my clothes with water, and you want to get rid of me with two fish?"

"What do you want? I've already apologized, and I really didn't see anyone by the river."

She ate the grilled fish and nodded her evaluation, "Mm, it's delicious. It would be even better if you put some seasoning on it."

"There is no seasoning to add in this desolate mountain and wilderness."

“Can you bake anything else?”

"I used to grill wild game with my fellow apprentices in the mountains. It tasted amazing."

Song Liuli's eyes lit up. She had nowhere to go, so she might as well go out with him and hide for a while. After a long time, the Third Prince would change his mind about marrying her.

Seeing that he is good at martial arts and can grill food, it would be great to have someone to accompany me on the road and protect me. The only thing is how can I make him willingly take me along.

"Sir, what is your name?"

"My last name is Chu and my given name is Nancy."

"What a nice name. I'm Song Li. We are friends from now on. Friends share happiness and difficulties."

Chu Nanxi looked at Song Liuli who was talking. This young man had delicate features and fair skin, but he was too unreserved. He was so active when they first met. Was this really okay?

"Mr. Chu, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Shucheng, what about you, Mr. Song?"

"We are going the same way. I am going to Shucheng to visit my relatives. Why don't we go together and take care of each other on the way, okay?"

Qiu Shui hurriedly stopped him, "Sir, Madam told us to play for a few days and then go home. It's too dangerous for you to go to a place as far away as Shucheng. I can't let you go."

"Besides, we are not familiar with this young master, and the road is not convenient."

"Who said it's inconvenient? We are friends."

"Sir, are you willing to go to Shucheng with us, master and servant?"

"Son..."

"Shut up."

Qiu Shui looked at Song Liuli worriedly.

"Sir, I am in a hurry to travel, not to enjoy the scenery, so it is inconvenient for me to go with you. Goodbye."

Seeing Chu Nanxi was about to leave, Song Liuli was furious: "What's wrong with you? You soaked our clothes, and you're not willing to give us this little compensation. You're so inhumane."

"You looked like a kind and generous knight who helped the needy. I was wrong about you."

"I don't want to be friends with someone as hard-hearted and ruthless as you."

"Mr. Song, it's not that I don't agree to your request, but I'm really in a hurry to get on with my journey. If you come with me, you will definitely be too tired. I'm worried that you won't be able to handle it."

"Mr. Chu, don't judge me by my own strength. Although I don't have Mr. Chu's martial arts, I can walk very fast and will definitely not delay your trip."

"Since you've said so, I can't refuse. Let's go together!"

Song Liuli showed a proud smile, "Let's go!"

Qiu Shui looked at his young lady worriedly. The young lady was really good at bragging and said she walked briskly. She always took a sedan chair when going out. In the mansion, there were many rules for being a lady. She had to walk in a dignified and graceful manner with a light body. She would be lectured for walking a few steps faster. Now she dared to say that she walked briskly.

She sighed deeply. She thought that if the young lady was too tired to walk, Mr. Chu would know it at a glance, and she didn't know how to cover up the lie.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"All right."

"Let's go!"

Chu Nanxi led the master and servant towards Shucheng.
