Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Yueli didn't know why, but the moment she turned around, she suddenly felt dizzy.

If she hadn't grabbed a branch nearby, she probably would have accidentally fallen off the tree.

But because it grabbed this branch, it accidentally made an inappropriate noise.

Lu Fengjin was a master; even the slightest sound was enough for him to hear clearly.

"Who?" He immediately turned around and swept a palm towards the tree branch where Chu Yueli was.

Chu Yueli dared not be careless. She took a deep breath and moved away in an instant.

If she had only seen him working for the Emperor, she wouldn't have been silenced. But she had clearly overheard him and Qin Mingyue's disloyalty towards the Emperor, which was something she absolutely could not reveal.

Lu Fengjin may not be that ruthless, but in critical moments, he always has to protect himself first.

Therefore, he might very well kill himself.

Even if he can't kill her, knowing that she overheard his secret will inevitably make her even more relentless and hostile towards him in the future.

Now that Prince Mo has gone to Southern Mongolia and it's unknown when he will return, getting involved with this guy is not a good thing.

Moreover, Jing Lei is probably still at the manufacturing site, and she must help him lure Lu Fengjin away.

She took a deep breath and fled in the opposite direction from the manufacturing plant.

With her light-footed skills, it wouldn't be too difficult for her to get rid of Lu Fengjin, after all, it was nighttime and in the wilderness where it was easy to hide.

But for some reason, my body felt particularly heavy tonight, and my legs felt like they were tied with sandbags, making each step more difficult than usual.

His unparalleled lightness skill had inexplicably regressed by several points compared to usual.

Before long, a tall, slender figure flashed before her eyes, and Lu Fengjin actually caught up from behind her.

He struck with a palm as soon as he arrived, a chilling aura aimed directly at Chu Yueli's face.

But he never expected that the person who eavesdropped on his conversation with Qin Mingyue was actually her!

After that palm strike was delivered, the wind from the palm brushed aside the branches and leaves in front of Chu Yueli, and that astonishing face clearly appeared.

Lu Fengjin was startled and quickly withdrew his palm strike.

Fortunately, Chu Yueli's martial arts skills were no less than his; she easily dodged with a spin and landed lightly on the ground.

However, she could no longer escape his pursuit.

"Ah Li, what are you doing here?" Then, a sudden surge of anger filled Lu Fengjin: "You've been following me?"

Chu Yueli didn't speak, but just looked at him coldly, thinking that if she could stall him for a while, Jing Lei would be safer for a little longer.

Lu Fengjin always gets particularly frustrated when she doesn't speak.

It was like this before, and it is like this now.

Sure enough, he was both angry and anxious: "Speak up! Why are you following me? Have you always been so hostile towards me? Can't we just coexist peacefully?"

Chu Yueli remained silent, only staring coldly at him.

Lu Fengjin grew increasingly agitated: "Ali! What exactly do you want to do?"

Chu Yueli knew he couldn't remain silent any longer. He wasn't stupid; given time, he would eventually figure it out and realize she was stalling for time.

Therefore, she said at the opportune moment: "She is actually Tuoba Mingyue!"

"You came here to investigate her?" Lu Fengjin breathed a sigh of relief.

She remained silent, giving him time to guess, rather than telling a lie herself.

But Lu Fengjin's mind is not failing him today.

"Aren't your lightness skills better than mine? How did I manage to find out?"

He thought about it for a moment, and then he began to feel something was wrong: "Are you stalling for my time?"
