Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

After Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan walked out of Yuebin Tower, they slowly walked towards the outside of the city.

They all knew that the enmity they had created with the Crown Prince of Beiyan today would undoubtedly plant many hidden dangers for their future.

Jun Lingyuan frowned slightly, and turned his head to Feng Qingyue and said, "Qingyue, the Crown Prince of Beiyan is cunning and sinister by nature. He suffered a loss at our hands today, and he will definitely not give up. He will definitely plot revenge. We must prepare as soon as possible."

Feng Qingyue nodded gently, calm and full of strength. "Ling Yuan, if he comes to provoke me openly, I won't be afraid at all. I'm just worried that he might cheat in secret."

Just as he finished speaking, a slight rustling sound was heard from the woods beside the road.

Jun Lingyuan was instantly alert, his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword like lightning. He took a quick step forward, protecting Feng Qingyue behind him, and whispered a warning: "Qingyue, be careful, there's a trap."

Feng Qingyue was also not vague. She quietly unsheathed the soft sword in her hand and stared closely at the direction of the woods. Every cell in her body was alert.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly jumped out from the woods.

After seeing that the person coming was Ling Yuxiao, Jun Lingyuan's tense nerves relaxed slightly and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After Ling Yuxiao appeared, his chest rose and fell slightly, he breathed heavily, and with a bit of anxiety in his eyes, he asked: "Brother Jun, Miss An, why are you two here?"

As he spoke, his eyes quickly moved between Jun Lingyuan and Feng Qingyue, as if trying to find the answer from their expressions and attire.

He pondered for a moment, realizing that the end of this road was Yuebin Tower, so he asked again, "Did you go to Yuebin Tower?"

Feng Qingyue nodded slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ling, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"

Ling Yuxiao's eyes were filled with worry as he spoke slowly, "I just learned that Miss Ouyang was abducted by the Crown Prince of Beiyan Kingdom to the Yuebin Tower. Judging from the looks of you two, are you going there for this purpose as well?"

There was doubt in his eyes, but that doubt seemed to be mixed with a bit of certainty, as if he had already made his own judgment in his heart.

Jun Lingyuan nodded calmly and replied, "That's right. Miss Ouyang has been rescued by us now. I believe she has returned safely to the City Lord's Mansion by now."

"That's great. It seems that I am still a step late, but fortunately Miss Ouyang is safe and sound." Ling Yuxiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

After Jun Lingyuan finished speaking, he wanted to pull Feng Qingyue away.

Feng Qingyue caught a glimpse of Ling Yuxiao still standing there in a daze. Worried that the Crown Prince of Beiyan might send troops to pursue him, she asked with concern, "Ling Yuxiao, what are you still standing there for? Let's go! Where are you going?"

Ling Yuxiao raised a slightly awkward smile and said, "Can I...can I go back with you?"

"Why is that? Don't you have your own mansion in this city?" Feng Qingyue frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion.

Ling Yuxiao sighed, a trace of feigned fear on his face, and said, "In order to gather information, my men accidentally offended the Crown Prince of Beiyan. In the eyes of the vengeful Crown Prince, this is equivalent to offending him personally.

The prince has always been narrow-minded. I am alone now. If he sends someone to seek revenge, I will be unable to resist. "

Ling Yi, who was in the dark, was filled with confusion when he heard his master's words. His eyes widened as he thought to himself: When did we offend the people of the Northern Yan Kingdom's Crown Prince? How could those guys with mediocre abilities dare to meet us?

Jun Lingyuan refused without a second thought, "No, you'd better go back to your own residence. If you're really worried about your safety, I'll arrange for someone to protect you."

At this moment, Feng Qingyue remembered Ling Yuxiao's life-saving grace in the past, and in her heart, Ling Yuxiao was a pretty good person.

Now that he was in trouble, how could she stand by and watch him die without helping? So she said softly, "Ling Yuan, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to come with us."

When Ling Yuxiao heard Feng Qingyue's words, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He looked at Jun Lingyuan with a hint of provocation, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes. He said, "I will follow Miss Qingyue back to the Qingyue Mansion. As long as Miss Qingyue agrees, there will be no problem."

Ling Yi found his master's behavior increasingly puzzling, his eyes filled with confusion: What's wrong with the master? He couldn't live in his own home, but had to run off to someone else's. It was truly incomprehensible.

Jun Lingyuan immediately looked at Feng Qingyue with dissatisfaction, and his eyes seemed to be silently questioning why she agreed to this.

Feng Qingyue met Jun Lingyuan's questioning gaze and explained sincerely, "Lingyuan, think about it. Our situation is already very dangerous, and one more person means more help. You and I are both aware of Ling Yuxiao's skills. Bringing him along will also be an extra force for us."

Although Jun Lingyuan was still somewhat reluctant, seeing Feng Qingyue's determined eyes, he just said in a low voice, "Okay, since you said so, then let him follow. However, everything must be arranged by me, and he is not allowed to act on his own."

Ling Yuxiao nodded quickly: "Of course, brother Jun, don't worry, I will follow your lead in everything."

Jun Lingyuan said no more, pulled Feng Qingyue and turned to leave, while Ling Yuxiao quickly followed with a smug smile on his face.

……

An Qingyue Mansion.

"Please come in." Feng Qingyue looked up when she heard the voice. Seeing that it was Jun Lingyuan, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. She asked softly, "Lingyuan, it's late at night. What brings you here?"

Jun Lingyuan's eyes were quite complicated. He said slowly, "Qingyue, I have something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Feng Qingyue tilted her head slightly, with a questioning look in her eyes.

Jun Lingyuan sighed softly and said, "I have to go back to Xingli Country. I just received news from there that there is an urgent matter that needs my return."

Feng Qingyue's eyes reddened slightly when she heard this. She tried her best to control her emotions and forced a smile, "Ling Yuan, you have stayed in Frost Moon City for a long time, and it is indeed time for you to go back.

Xuanyuan Pavilion has a lot of affairs to deal with, and there must be many things waiting for you to handle."

Jun Lingyuan stared at Feng Qingyue, trying to see through her true thoughts beneath her calm exterior, and asked softly, "Qingyue, do you really think so?"

Feng Qingyue avoided Jun Lingyuan's fiery and searching gaze and said casually, "Of course it's true. I didn't know where you were before, but now that I know you, if I have some free time in the future, I will go look for you."

Jun Lingyuan took a step forward. He gently held Feng Qingyue's shoulders and slowly turned her body so that she faced him.

He said softly, "Qingyue, you know that if it weren't for the urgency of the matter, how could I be willing to leave you?"

Feng Qingyue raised her head and looked at Jun Lingyuan, her eyes filled with tears: "I know, but each of us has our own responsibilities..."

Jun Lingyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Qingyue, you are always so rational and calm that it makes me feel distressed."

"This matter must be of great importance, otherwise they wouldn't be urging me to return so urgently. Don't worry, I will handle the affairs of Xingli Kingdom as soon as possible and then return to you without stopping. As for the Crown Prince of Beiyan Kingdom, I will arrange for some people to stay and assist you. Ling Yuxiao is also here, and he will protect you as well."

Feng Qingyue knew that this matter could not be changed. She nodded dejectedly and asked, "When do you plan to leave?"

"Tomorrow morning. Time is running out, I have to go back and pack my luggage tonight." Jun Lingyuan sighed helplessly.

"So hasty..." A wave of loss surged in Feng Qingyue's heart, and her eyes dimmed.

That night, Feng Qingyue lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Her mind kept replaying every detail of her reunion with Jun Lingyuan.

The next day, Feng Qingyue woke up early, worried about Jun Lingyuan's departure for Xingli Country. After a quick wash, she slowly walked towards Jun Lingyuan's room.

She came to Jun Lingyuan's door, reached out and knocked gently, and called softly: "Lingyuan, are you up?" However, there was no response from inside the house.

She knocked on the door several times in a row and raised her voice a little: "Ling Yuan?" However, there was still silence, as if the whole world had fallen asleep.

Feng Qingyue's heart seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss, sinking bit by bit. She wondered to herself: Could it be that he has left? Thinking of this, she slowly opened the door.

The room was empty, the bed was neatly made, and there was no sign of Jun Lingyuan.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Feng Qingyue's eyes. She slowly turned around and walked out of the room.

Not long after she walked out, she saw Lan Xin walking towards the kitchen. She quickly called out to Lan Xin: "Lan Xin."

Lan Xin heard the call, stopped, turned around and saluted, and said respectfully: "Miss, what can I do for you?"

Feng Qingyue walked forward and asked, "Lan Xin, when did Master Jun leave?"

Lan Xin replied with a puzzled look on her face, "Miss, where is Master Jun going? Wasn't he sparring with that young master in the backyard yesterday?"

Feng Qingyue was stunned when she heard this. She felt both surprised and delighted. She asked, "What? They're sparring in the backyard?"

"Yes, miss. I saw them there when I passed by just now. They were fighting fiercely." Lan Xin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyue immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the backyard, her steps becoming much lighter.

As soon as I walked into the backyard, I heard the crisp sound of weapons clashing, which was crisp and loud.

Jun Lingyuan and Ling Yuxiao were seen fighting back and forth in the middle of the yard. Their expressions were as focused as craftsmen carving peerless jade, and their sword moves were as sharp as the biting cold wind.

Jun Lingyuan saw Feng Qingyue at a glance, and the momentum of the sword in his hand paused slightly. Ling Yuxiao keenly caught this opportunity, and with a sideways movement, the tip of the sword was like a spirit snake emerging from a cave, pointing directly at Jun Lingyuan's throat, and he did not forget to tease: "Brother Jun, you are distracted."

Jun Lingyuan, however, seemed unconcerned. He calmly sheathed his sword and strode towards Feng Qingyue. With a gentle smile on his face, he asked, "Qingyue, why are you here?"

Feng Qingyue looked at Jun Lingyuan with a complicated feeling in her heart. She scolded him, "I thought you had left. I knocked on your door but no one answered."

Jun Lingyuan smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry. I suddenly thought of something last night, so I decided to wait for her for two days before leaving."
