Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

The team was moving farther and farther away, and was about to reach the village entrance.

Suddenly, Chen Jinyu's gaze fixed on the center of the road ahead, where he saw a white figure standing still like a jade tree.

When he got closer, he was surprised to find that the person in front of him was Jun Lingyuan.

Chen Jinyu hurriedly pulled the reins, bowed slightly, and respectfully said, "Master Jun, I'm sorry for blocking your way here."

Jun Lingyuan's expression remained calm, his eyes as usual, and he responded calmly: "Your goddess naturally knows why I'm here."

The carriage slowly stopped, Feng Qingyue gently opened the curtain, and her beautiful face suddenly appeared.

She leaned forward slightly, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and asked in a low voice: "What happened up ahead?"

The guard then replied respectfully, "Goddess, there's a man blocking the road ahead for some reason."

Feng Qingyue frowned slightly when she heard this, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart, but she pushed open the car door without hesitation and got out quickly.

When her eyes fell on the figure in front of her, her heart was suddenly shocked and her steps paused slightly.

I saw the man in white standing alone and proudly in the middle of the road, his clothes dancing in the wind, like an immortal who was not affected by the worldly affairs, standing there gracefully.

Feng Qingyue's eyes widened, and she was slightly stunned for a moment. Then her expression softened, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly, "Jun Lingyuan, here?"

Jun Lingyuan seemed not to notice Chen Jinyu beside him. His eyes were fixed on Feng Qingyue, and he walked towards her with firm steps.

Every time he took a step, the dust under his feet seemed to shake. The people around him turned around, followed his steps with their eyes, and stopped in their tracks.

When he stood in front of Feng Qingyue, his eyes were full of tenderness and concentration. "I wanted to arrive earlier, but something happened last night that delayed me for a while. But since I promised to accompany you, I will definitely not break my promise."

Feng Qingyue's disappointment just flashed away.

She smiled and said softly, "It's okay, let's go."

However, Chen Jinyu, who was standing aside, suddenly felt unhappy.

He originally planned to persuade Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan to ride separately. After all, there are differences between men and women, and it would be inconvenient for them to ride in the same carriage.

But Feng Qingyue made the decision without hesitation at this time, which made him feel even more helpless.

Chen Jinyu knew very well that once Feng Qingyue made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

He watched the two of them get into the car side by side, and sighed inwardly, "Just who is this Pavilion Master Jun? How could Ah Yue trust him so much?"

Although his inner dissatisfaction gradually emerged, Chen Jinyu understood that the mission of this trip was of great importance and could not tolerate interference from his personal emotions.

Perhaps in Feng Qingyue's opinion, traveling with Jun Lingyuan can indeed increase one's strength.

He sighed, tightened his saddle, quickened his pace, and followed closely behind. He could only remind himself in his heart: "For the sake of the overall situation, I can't let my personal emotions affect the entire mission."

Feng Qingyue and her group trekked for a whole day and were exhausted as night fell quietly.

Standing in front, Chen Jinyu's deep voice rang out: "Stop, Yang Yi, order everyone to set up camp here and continue on tomorrow."

Yang Yi took the order and quickly began to direct everyone's actions.

The atmosphere in the team was a little tense, but more of it was a sense of relaxation after being exhausted.

Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan sat side by side in the carriage, their eyes fixed on the carriage that was gradually stopping.

After the carriage stopped steadily, the two men jumped off almost simultaneously, their light figures drawing a graceful arc in the air, and their feet landed steadily on the ground.

However, after landing, the two did not rush to sit down, but looked around vigilantly.

The surrounding mountains and forests were shrouded in the darkness of night. The trees were tall, and occasionally the calls of unknown birds could be heard from the dense grass. It was quiet and mysterious, with a hint of heart-pounding loneliness.

Jun Lingyuan frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice, "This place is close to the forest. There is a risk of wild animals appearing at night. For safety reasons, it is best to move forward a distance."

Although his words were brief, they carried an unquestionable majesty, as if this decision could not be refuted by others.

After hearing this, Chen Jinyu's face showed a hint of displeasure. He retorted, "Why worry so much? There are no wild beasts around. There are so many of us. Even if there is danger, we won't be afraid of them!"

As he spoke, he patted the hilt of his sword, his eyes full of confidence and composure.

Feng Qingyue said softly without hesitation, "Brother Jinyu, it's better to listen to the Pavilion Master. It will be safer to continue forward."

Her voice was clear, with an unquestionable firmness.

Chen Jinyu was touched by Jun Lingyuan's words. Although he was angry, he finally obeyed Feng Qingyue's orders.

He snorted unwillingly at Jun Lingyuan, turned around and ordered everyone to continue preparing to set off.

His face was gloomy and he was obviously in a bad mood.

Sitting back in the carriage, Feng Qingyue couldn't help but look up at Jun Lingyuan, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Lingyuan, how did you know there would be ferocious beasts here?"

She stared at him with eyes as clear as water.

Jun Lingyuan's reaction remained calm, his tone flat and concise: "I've been here before and was attacked by wild beasts."

After saying this, he said no more, as if he didn't want to talk about the past.

Feng Qingyue was silent for a moment, and suddenly a complex emotion surged in her heart.

She slowly turned her head, her eyes falling on the gradually receding scenery outside the car window, her mind immersed in deep thought.

Soon after, the team finally arrived at a relatively flat place with a small river flowing nearby.

Seeing this, Chen Jinyu immediately waved his hand to signal Yang Yi to command everyone to set up camp.

Yang Yi acted quickly and the team members got busy. Some set up tents, some made fires and cooked. The atmosphere gradually became lively.

Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan got out of the car cautiously and began to carefully check the surrounding environment.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual, the two sat down next to a flat rock.

Soon, Chen Jinyu came over with a freshly grilled fish that smelled fragrant.

With a warm smile on his face, "Ayue, this is for you." He said softly, handing the grilled fish to Feng Qingyue.

Feng Qingyue smiled slightly, took the grilled fish, and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Jinyu." Her voice was as clear and moving as the spring breeze blowing across the lake.

However, Chen Jinyu did not stop, but turned to face Jun Lingyuan, with a hint of provocation in his tone: "The leader is hungry, so you need to do it yourself."

His words were frivolous, but there was a hint of imperceptible hostility in his eyes. The moment he glanced at Jun Lingyuan, his eyes unconsciously showed a bit of contempt.

After hearing this, Jun Lingyuan just raised his eyes and glanced at him, his expression still calm: "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Chen, but I am not hungry at this time." His tone was calm and powerful, with a hint of pressure that could not be ignored.

After hearing this, Chen Jinyu became angry and snorted coldly, showing his obvious dissatisfaction.

He turned his gaze back to Feng Qingyue, his tone becoming gentle: "Ayue, eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll grill a few more."

As he spoke, he did not forget to glare at Jun Lingyuan fiercely, then turned and left.

When Chen Jinyu's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Feng Qingyue suddenly handed the grilled fish in her hand to Jun Lingyuan and said with a smile, "Then, let's eat together."

Jun Lingyuan was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes: "Qingyue, if Chen Jinyu knew that you gave me the fish as soon as he turned around, he would probably be furious."

Feng Qingyue shook her head slightly, her smile spreading across her face like a spring breeze. "How could that be? We're companions now, and we're just sharing some food."

Jun Lingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. His eyes were deep as he slowly approached her.

He whispered, "Are we just companions? Isn't there any other relationship?"

His eyes were sharp and deep, as if he wanted to see through the secrets in her heart through these eyes.

Feng Qingyue didn't respond to his question. She just handed the grilled fish to him and said in a cold and emotionless voice, "Do you want to eat it?"

Jun Lingyuan shook his head slightly, his tone firm: "No, I'm not hungry now."

Feng Qingyue took another step closer, her tone carrying a hint of unquestionable insistence: "Are you really not hungry?"

Jun Lingyuan turned his head and looked at her with deep eyes. He nodded gently: "You are really not hungry. Please eat quickly." There was an irrefutable firmness in his tone.

Feng Qingyue frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled, and whispered, "I didn't see you eating."

Jun Lingyuan smiled helplessly and explained: "Really, I'm not hungry right now."

Although Feng Qingyue had some doubts in her heart, she didn't ask any more questions in the end. She just nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite."
