I traveled through the plane space with the trading system

When everything calmed down, Ye Muyuan sat at his desk, looking at the pile of documents, feeling a little worried.

Zan Feng walked in and said respectfully, "Master, all the people who followed Xu Che have been dealt with."

"understood."

Ye Muyuan rubbed his brows and continued to read the letters sent back from the other three countries, but he couldn't concentrate and threw the letters on the table impatiently.

Then he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. All he could see before his eyes were the little details of his time with Meng Kexin.

Zan Feng felt very confused when he saw his master like this. His master was born and raised here, and this is his home.

"Master, are you worried about something?" Zan Feng asked cautiously.

Ye Muyuan did not answer, but just sat quietly.

Zan Feng hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "My Lord, I dare to say that Meng Kexin is just an ordinary person. How can she be worthy of you? My Lord, please don't worry about her."

Ye Muyuan suddenly opened his eyes, a look of majesty in his eyes, "Don't speak nonsense."

Zan Feng lowered his head quickly, "I made a mistake."

Ye Muyuan stood up, walked to the window, looked at the bright moon outside, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

"Ke Xin... is different. Her kindness and innocence make my heart beat faster." Ye Muyuan said to himself.

After hearing this, Zan Feng sighed inwardly. He knew that his master was truly moved this time.

"If the Lord misses Meng Kexin, we can just go and see her."

"No, if I go to see her now, it will only bring her trouble." Ye Muyuan turned around and sat back in his chair. "The most urgent thing now is to deal with the affairs of the court first."

Zan Feng nodded, "My Lord is wise. But I am worried that this will cause you to miss me too much and affect your health."

Ye Muyuan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." He picked up the letter on the table and read it again.

However, Ye Muyuan's heart could not calm down. His longing for Meng Kexin became stronger and stronger, as if an invisible force was pulling at his heart.

Zan Feng and Ye Muyuan grew up together. Ye Muyuan was in a state of turmoil, and Zan Feng could see it at a glance. He tentatively asked, "Master, didn't we escort Miss Meng because she was Meng Weiyuan's daughter? Wasn't it to incite Meng Weiyuan to rebel?"

When Ye Muyuan heard what Zan Feng said, he suddenly opened his eyes. Yes, if he wanted to instigate Meng Weiyuan to rebel, didn’t he have to go to Hangu Pass?

Since you have to go anyway, it doesn't make any difference whether you go early or late, so it's better to go early than late.

Ye Muyuan, who had figured it out, suddenly became energetic and started to deal with the things at hand. He wanted to finish them as soon as possible so that he could go to Hangu Pass to find Ke Xin as soon as possible.

Just as Ye Muyuan was busy reviewing the letter, a charming voice rang out: "Cousin, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me?"

The owner of this voice is Xu Linglong, the daughter of Ye Muyuan's uncle. She grew up with Ye Muyuan and has liked him since she was a child. She has always fantasized about marrying him when she grows up.

But Ye Muyuan has always been cold and indifferent to her, but she doesn't mind at all and is still as enthusiastic as ever.

"I just got back not long ago." Ye Muyuan didn't even raise his head and continued with the work in his hands.

Xu Linglong walked over to Ye Muyuan and saw the pile of letters. She said in a coquettish voice, "Cousin, you've been working so hard. There are so many letters to read. Let Linglong help you."

As she spoke, she reached out to take the letter.

"No need, I can do it myself." Ye Muyuan refused coldly. He didn't want Xu Linglong to touch these important letters.

Xu Linglong was relentless, "Cousin, please don't be so polite to me. Let me help you."

Ye Muyuan became a little impatient. He stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After that, he walked out of the room, leaving Xu Linglong there alone in a daze.

Zan Feng stepped forward and said politely, "Miss, the master's study is a very important place. Please understand."

After saying that, he made a please gesture.

Xu Linglong didn't dare to lose her temper with Ye Muyuan, but to her bodyguard Zan Feng, she felt very superior.

"Zan Feng, who do you think you are? How dare you let me go? Don't forget, you are just a dog of your cousin."

Zan Feng was so angry that his face turned red. "My cousin, your words are too harsh! Although I am the master's guard, I also have dignity!" Zan Feng clenched his fists and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Hmph, dignity? In my eyes, you are nothing but a lowly servant." Xu Linglong sneered.

"Enough!" Ye Muyuan's voice suddenly came, "Linglong, don't be rude. Zan Feng, you go down first."

"Yes, my lord." Zan Feng glared at Xu Linglong, then turned and left.

"Cousin, why are you protecting him?" Xu Linglong looked at Ye Muyuan aggrievedly.

"Linglong, Zan Feng is my right-hand man, and he is right. This is a restricted area of the study, and you shouldn't enter without permission." Ye Muyuan said seriously.

"Cousin, I..." Xu Linglong wanted to say something but was interrupted by Ye Muyuan.

"Okay, I still have a lot of things to deal with, you go back first." Ye Muyuan ordered him to leave.

Xu Linglong bit her lip and left unwillingly. She decided to find a way to make Ye Muyuan hate Zan Feng so that Ye Muyuan would look at her more.

After Xu Linglong returned to her room, she became angrier and angrier. She decided to start with the people around Ye Muyuan and make them stay away from him.

The next day, Xu Linglong deliberately spread rumors in the mansion, saying bad things about Zan Feng, trying to stir up others' dissatisfaction with Zan Feng. But unexpectedly, everyone praised Zan Feng's character and was disgusted with Xu Linglong's behavior.

Xu Linglong was not discouraged and came up with a more sinister plan. She secretly poisoned Ye Muyuan's food and wanted to put the blame on Zan Feng. However, Ye Muyuan saw through all of this.

Late at night, all was silent except for a cold moon hanging high in the sky. Ye Muyuan stood in the courtyard with a gloomy expression, like a silent statue. His eyes were fixed on the petite, trembling figure not far away—Xu Linglong, timidly approaching him.

When Xu Linglong approached, Ye Muyuan finally couldn't help but speak, his voice full of anger and majesty: "Xu Linglong! Do you know what a big mistake you have made?" His question exploded like thunder in the silent night sky, terrifying people.

Xu Linglong burst into tears, her delicate body trembling slightly as she sobbed. She raised her tear-stained face and choked out, "I...I only do this because I love you too much!" Every word seemed to exhaust all her strength.

However, after hearing these words, Ye Muyuan did not feel any sympathy in his heart.
