However, after meeting an acquaintance, Wen Hemian had even less intention of staying here any longer. She politely declined Liu Qiongyue's enthusiastic invitation and decided to go somewhere else after resting for a night.

Liu Qiongyue said tactfully: "Although most places are relatively peaceful at the moment, Lord Wen... you should still be careful. A veil can't cover up too much."

Excuse me for wanting to speak frankly, but there is no way to cover it up.

In the past, when Lord Wen was still dressed in men's attire, he was very eye-catching standing in the crowd. When he changed back into women's attire, he would only make people feel more stunning. It can only be said that everyone underestimated him after all.

Even if you can't see her appearance, her whole temperament is better than others. Liu Qiongyue is really afraid that she will be robbed on the road one day.

"Don't worry about that. I know everything."

Wen Hemian stroked the teacup, actually he was quite confused.

The system clearly said that all the protection on her body would disappear after the mission was completed, but for some reason, she found out during an accidental test that the protection was still there.

When she is traveling outside, she doesn't have to worry too much about her personal safety.

Liu Qiongyue's thoughts were not on the same channel as hers: "That's right, Lord Wen should have someone to protect him. I was worrying too much."

"Stop calling me Lord Wen. I am just a commoner now and I cannot bear this title."

Wen Hemian accepted her statement without refutation. It was good that someone had come up with an excuse for him, so he didn't have to explain.

Liu Qiongyue insisted: "That's different. But Lord Wen, if you don't want to meet His Majesty's men, don't continue to go towards the capital. There are so many people working for His Majesty now, it's easy to reveal your whereabouts."

"I understand, thank you for reminding me."

Wen Hemian curved his lips, raised his sleeves and searched, and finally found a jade pendant of excellent quality, and stuffed it into Sui Sui's arms: "This is our first meeting, and I haven't prepared anything else. This jade pendant can be regarded as a meeting gift."

Wen Hemian never lacks good things on him. Since he wasn't too worried about the safety, he kept them with him as backup. Now they came in handy.

Liu Qiongyue did not refuse. She smiled and said thank you. Sui Sui also imitated her and said thank you.

After a brief reminisce, Wen Hemian said goodbye to them and returned to the inn where he was temporarily staying.

She did intend to continue walking towards the capital. After all, three years had passed and the past events had been almost forgotten by everyone. It was highly likely that she would not be discovered if she went back.

But that is only a high probability.

She sensed something unusual in Liu Qiongyue's words, perhaps something about Xie Lang. All in all, it didn't feel good. To be on the safe side, she decided not to go any further in that direction.

The kid holds a grudge, and I don't know if he discovered something. After three years, I'm afraid he will remember it even more deeply. Wen Hemian is worried and decides to avoid this risk in advance.

However, there are some risks that she cannot avoid just because she wants to.

Things often go in the wrong direction.

That night, Wen Hemian had just finished washing up and was about to read a book before taking a rest, but he saw the system jumping in from the window after a long time.

After so long, the system is still the same, I just like to use the cat shell.

Wen Hemian's eyelids jumped, and he immediately heard the system tell him some bad news.

"Host, there is a problem with the mission."

Wen Hemian's eyes were subtle: "Who told me at the beginning that there would be absolutely no problems? What's the situation now?"

The system smiled awkwardly, although its cat-like face showed no expression. "Theoretically, there will be no problem, but there are special circumstances! I just received the news a few days ago and rushed over."

Wen Hemian thought about what had happened to her and felt that there was a way to trace this matter. She sighed softly, "Tell me."

The system said in short: "Something went wrong with the little emperor. The administrator detected that he had a tendency to self-destruct and turn evil, so he urgently recalled me."

I have to say, when Wen Hemian heard the words "self-destruction and blackening", his heart ached. Even if he intended to reduce his care for Xie Lang, the time he spent with them was much longer than the time they were apart. It's not that he can completely stop caring about them.

Her voice deepened: "So what is your solution?"

Wen Hemian was also a well-read person, and she also dabbled in novels, mainly to cheer herself up. According to her experience, such dark and unstable characters in books would usually be erased to maintain the balance of the world.

But Xie Lang obviously couldn't be erased. The system said in a serious tone, "The result of the discussion between the administrator and me is that we hope that you can go back and take a look."

Wen Hemian was silent for a moment: "Do you think this is appropriate?"

She didn't know whether Xie Lang had completely let go of what happened that year. If not, wouldn't she be walking into a wolf's den?

The system put its two claws together and made a request: "Host, please. If something like the original book happens again, this world will really not be able to hold on."

"That's all."

After a while, Wen Hemian closed his eyes and said, "I'll go back and take a look from a distance first."

Xie Lang is the emperor and is busy with all kinds of affairs all day long. He probably doesn't have the time to hang out outside all day.

The only trouble was that she had to be careful to avoid his men, especially the Royal Guards, many of whom knew her.

To be precise, many people in the capital know her. In the past three years, there have not been many updates and iterations, so Wen Hemian had to consider it in advance.

After thinking about it for a while, Wen Hemian suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the system: "Is this a mistake on your part?"

The system stuttered: "It belongs, it belongs, right?"

"Very good." Wen Hemian smiled, still as gentle as ever, but somehow made people feel frightened. "Give me some preferential treatment, can you do that?"

The system said with tears in its eyes: “Yes.”

The next day, Wen Hemian set out again wearing the veil.

But this time was different from before. She seemed to have lost her presence in the crowd and was hardly noticed by anyone. Even if they saw her, they would forget about her as soon as they turned their heads and didn't care at all when she appeared.

This is the compensatory treatment provided by the system - reducing Wen Hemian's presence in the crowd, making it easier for her to hide herself and avoid being tracked down by others to the greatest extent.

The system urged him to go straight on the road, so Wen Hemian rode his horse directly. Except for the rest time, he spent most of his time on the road.

When she saw the capital city appear before her again, she let out a sigh of relief.

I haven't been back for three years, and the capital city is still the same as I remembered, majestic and magnificent, with people coming and going, and it seems even more prosperous. As dusk falls in the west, lights are lit in the distance, and the scene is dim, familiar and unfamiliar.

She pulled the shawl a little guiltily, jumped off her horse and stood in line, thinking to herself: "Is it possible that no one will notice me?"
