When my cultivation is recovering, the sect comes to persuade me to quit? I agree!

After hearing what Rong Xueer said, Lu Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Where is this going?

This girl wouldn't think that she doesn't have enough treasures on her.

While speaking, Rong Xueer stood there without moving.

In order to express what was in her mind clearly, Rong Xueer also wasted a lot of time.

Lu Chen finally nodded.

"Okay then, I'll take you back."

Rong Xueer was so happy that she almost jumped up.

"Thank you, Brother Lu!"

The atmosphere between the two people changed a lot in an instant.

Rong Xueer smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.

When she looked at Lu Chen again, the doubts in Rong Xueer's mind popped up again.

"Brother Lu, can I ask you a question?"

"ask."

Lu Chen's answer was simple and clear.

After simply saying one word, Rong Xueer suddenly hesitated.

Should I figure out the details about Lu Chen and Lu Yao?

Finally, Rong Xueer made up her mind that since the question had been asked, she might as well go for it and get to the bottom of it!

"Why don't you speak?"

In response to Lu Chen's question, Rong Xueer suddenly asked.

"Brother Lu, are you Lu Chen?"

After hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned.

Then he thought of what Qi Wangyue said when he was chasing them.

Perhaps at that time, Rong Xueer already had this doubt in her heart!

"I'm Lu Chen."

Lu Chen replied calmly.

Although she was mentally prepared, Rong Xueer was still stunned for a moment.

"You must be wondering now why I told you a fake name. I just didn't want to get into any more trouble. I didn't have any other intentions."

Rong Xueer never thought that Lu Chen would explain to her.

After hearing what he said, Rong Xueer's gloom was swept away.

"Brother Lu, no matter whether you are Lu Chen or Lu Yao, in my heart, you are the same."

"I'm just a little curious, how did I meet that great hero admired by everyone?"

"Now that I know your true identity, I am satisfied."

Seeing the little girl frowning and smiling, Lu Chen's mood also relaxed.

Afterwards, Lu Chen took Rong Xueer and left the forest.

They came to a nearby village. In order to avoid being targeted, Lu Chen hired a carriage and headed west.

Since leaving the big forest, Rong Xueer has opened up her heart and found everything she sees along the way interesting.

"Brother Lu, I have been trapped in the palace since I was a child and have rarely had contact with the outside world. I never thought that this great land is so beautiful and there are so many interesting things in the world."

Seeing Rong Xueer so happy, Lu Chen's mouth corners also turned up.

Rong Xueer's mind is very simple, completely different from Chi Lingxiao.

Compared with Wen Keyao, Rong Xueer is more lively.

But when he thought about meeting the Emperor of the Western Dynasty, Lu Chen felt uncomfortable.

"Your Highness Xiaoxue, I will leave after you arrive at the palace."

When Rong Xueer heard this, her lips pouted.

"Brother Lu, you are my savior. When my father sees you, he will definitely reward you."

"You'll have to stay for a few days anyway."

"Let me do my duty as a host and entertain you properly."

Lu Chen refused.

"No need. I saved you not because of your status as a princess, and I don't ask for anything in return."

Rong Xueer said with a smile.

"Of course I know this. Brother Lu is a good man, there is no doubt about that. But I hope you can also understand my feelings. If I go back alone, I won't be able to explain to my father."

After hearing this, Lu Chen understood that Rong Xueer wanted him to go back to be a witness.

"is this necessary?"

Rong Xueer said shyly.

"Of course there are. I came here. Not only are there Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li, but there are also more than a thousand soldiers stationed outside the Great Forest."

Lu Chen was very surprised to hear this.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xue'er blushed.

"If I tell you the truth, will you still send me back? I want to stay with Brother Lu for a few more days, so..."

Lu Chen felt very helpless.

At that time, I didn't think enough. How could a princess travel with only two people to protect her? It was totally unreasonable.

But now that I think about it, it’s useless. We are almost at our destination…

"you……"

Rong Xueer reached out and held Lu Chen's arm.

"Brother Lu, you and I have experienced life and death, don't you understand my feelings?"

The sudden topic made Lu Chen stunned.

"I don't know what the princess is thinking, and I don't want to know clearly. Please forgive me."

Having said that, Lu Chen withdrew his arm.

Rong Xueer's eyes were immediately filled with tears, but she held on to Lu Chen tightly.

"Brother Lu, what do you mean? Don't you like me?"

Lu Chen didn't expect that Rong Xueer would ask this.

"Your Highness, the tiger demon is improving my cultivation because we have a ten-year agreement."

"I promised him something. He has placed a life and death curse in me. This is also my promise to him."

"Right now, I don't want to think about anything other than fulfilling my commitment."

Rong Xueer was shocked when she heard this. No wonder the tiger demon was so generous. It turned out that he had an intention. Rong Xueer spoke nervously.

"Brother Lu, what did you promise him? Can I help you?"

Lu Chen shook his head.

"That's the agreement between him and me. You can't help. Thank you for your kindness."

Rong Xueer looked anxious.

"But...but I like you!"

Rong Xueer blushed, lowered her head, folded her fingers, and did not dare to look at Lu Chen's eyes.

Lu Chen said solemnly.

"Please respect yourself, Princess."

Rong Xueer raised her head stubbornly and looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.

"What about ten years later? Will I have a chance?"

"I am not the princess's lover. The princess should have her own life."

Hearing Lu Chen calling her princess, Rong Xueer felt her heart broken.

Why it came out like this?

Back when they were in the big forest, they shared life and death together. Why did Lu Chen become so indifferent to her when she was in such a dangerous situation?

Rong Xueer frowned and didn't know what to do for a moment.

After a while, Rong Xueer asked weakly.

"Brother Lu, can I tell Fu Hua that you sent me back so that he won't worry."

"can."

Lu Chen's tone softened a bit, but he never looked in Rong Xueer's direction.

Rong Xueer was in a low mood, with her head down and folding something with her hands.

After a while, Rong Xueer lifted the door curtain of the carriage, made a strange gesture, and soon the folded thing flew into the air.

Lu Chen did not stop him.

This strange way of communication should be unique to the royal family of the Western Dynasty.

Lu Chen didn't want to ask too much about things he didn't care about.

The carriage continued to move forward slowly, but Rong Xueer spoke much less.

Although she would occasionally look up to the window, most of the time Rong Xueer would pout her lips from time to time.

This is the first time since I was a child that I like someone. I didn’t expect that I would be ruthlessly rejected as soon as I said it.

Even if she's a princess, so what?

When she thought of this, Rong Xueer began to sigh helplessly.
