The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

BB Liusha Pavilion thus came into her hands and grew stronger day by day under her leadership.

Because the Flowing Sand Pavilion was engaged in a bloody business, after Chang Le took over, he tried to recruit many martial artists. Gradually, the Flowing Sand Pavilion grew stronger and had the ability to help the Yue Kingdom.

However, there was one thing that Chang Le was also very curious about. Although she had abilities that were no less than others, she was a little surprised that she had managed to do everything in such a short time and even made Liusha Pavilion a very important sect in the martial arts world.

In the short term, nothing could be seen, but as time went on, she began to sense that the mysterious person was helping her. She became vigilant and started to investigate, but she couldn't find a single clue. In the end, the person remained mysterious and continued to help her in many ways, but never made any move to harm the Flowing Sand Pavilion. As a result, she gradually calmed down.

Therefore, if we're talking about a benefactor, it's probably the person behind him. He must be a friend of the former leader of the Flowing Sand Pavilion, who just doesn't want to show his face and is helping in secret!

After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "What 'benefactor'? It's just that the Sand Master gave me a meal when I was most helpless, and entrusted this Flowing Sand Pavilion to me. How can I let her down? However, I don't have that much power. I really don't know who the person behind this is. I hope that if we are destined, I can meet them."

Upon hearing this, Caiyun's expression changed, and she smiled, "If the Pavilion Master wishes to meet, I believe we will surely be able to. If that person is a handsome young master, could the Pavilion Master perhaps provide our Flowing Sand Pavilion with a husband?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Le paused, then smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If that person finds out, they'll think all the women of our Liusha Pavilion are so shameless."

Caiyun immediately pouted: "What's wrong with that? Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. This has never changed. The Pavilion Master is still unmarried because of us. We all feel guilty. We only hope that the Pavilion Master can find a husband who understands the Pavilion Master."

Chang Le sighed, "Alright, I have no intention of getting married. It's not your fault. Why think so much? Hurry up and pack your things. We're leaving here today. Just now, a scout reported that the desert sands are obscuring the area, and it looks like the wind is about to pick up again. We should leave this shipment as soon as possible to avoid any more dangers."

Caiyun nodded helplessly, bowed, and went to do her business. But a moment later, she suddenly turned back and said to Chang Le in a panic, "Master, something bad has happened! Our goods have been seized."

Chang Le suddenly stood up and said, "What did you say? What exactly happened?"

Who would confiscate her goods? Shazhao is a place they often stay. She has taken good care of the town mayor and the government officials. The goods were obtained through legitimate channels. How could they be confiscated for no reason?

Following Caiyun toward the scene of the incident, Chang Le was blocked as soon as she stepped out of the room. She was pulled away and angrily shouted, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The people outside did not resemble bandits or robbers. The leader even had an extraordinary air about him. He walked up to Chang Le, bowed, and said, "Please forgive me, young lady. We would like to ask you to come with us. An old friend of mine wishes to see you."

Chang Le frowned, somewhat reluctant. The man continued, "As long as you go and see the person I mentioned, not only will your people be safe and sound, but your goods will also be fine. We will also escort your caravan away from here. Miss, don't let a small thing cause you to lose something big."

Faced with the lukewarm threat from the other party, Chang Le, who had already experienced countless such threats, thought for a moment and then accepted it.

Since the other party was able to make her suffer in silence in her well-managed territory, they must not be someone to be trifled with. Even if she does not comply now, Liusha Pavilion will likely suffer as a result. Therefore, she should not lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of a small gain.

The person who brought her was very polite and led her to a large courtyard before leaving. As they left, they carefully closed the gate. Chang Le frowned, looked around but didn't see anyone, so she could only walk towards the hall by herself.

The hall was very clean. Chang Le found a chair and sat down, waiting patiently.

After sitting for a while, Chang Le couldn't sit still any longer. The courtyard in front of her was very familiar, so she couldn't help but get up and start walking around.

After a while, Chang Le's heart began to race. She couldn't help but be excited. Could it be him?

"Since we parted ways in the capital, I wonder how you are doing? Now you come to see me to collect a debt, or is it really just a reunion of old friends?"

This scene is the place where she used to live in Baiyue Village, and apart from Bai Rufeng, probably no one remembers what was there.

But how could Bai Rufeng, who was so young back then, possibly remember everything there clearly?

The positions of the trees in the yard, the stones next to the house, and even the gaps in the chairs in the hall are exactly the same as when they lived there. Is this really just a coincidence?

However, her deduction was answered the next moment.

Looking at the person who appeared before her, Chang Le smiled slightly and said, "Ten years have passed. It's rare that you still remember so much."

Bai Rufeng walked towards her step by step, saying as he went, "I remember not only those things, but also you."

Chang Le was somewhat moved: "Bai Rufeng, are you alright?"

Bai Rufeng shook his head: "Not good."

Chang Le's heart tightened, and she clenched her fist: "So this time you are...?"

Bai Rufeng walked up to her, making Chang Le feel a little dazed. The familiar face hadn't changed much with the passage of time, except that his once childish face had matured considerably, and the man who used to be shorter than her shoulder had become tall and imposing. Standing in front of her now, he gave her a sense of pressure.

She lowered her head slightly, and then saw Bai Rufeng suddenly reach out, lift her chin, and whisper to her, "I've come to take back what I shouldn't have given you."

Chang Le was taken aback: "You're giving it to me? What is it?"

"This place is empty now. You took it without me noticing. Don't you think I should come to you and get it back?"

The young man's deep voice lingered around Chang Le. She was somewhat dazed as she watched him place her hand on his chest without uttering a word, which sent chills down her spine.

"Bai Rufeng, back then, you were just a child."

She understood Bai Rufeng's words perfectly well, but it was precisely because she understood them that she was surprised and terrified; this was unrealistic.

Bai Rufeng chuckled softly, his face glowing. Chang Le paused, realizing it was the first time she had ever seen Bai Rufeng smile. His handsome appearance...

Damn it, how come I still have no resistance to this kind of face?

Bai Rufeng said, "You're right. Back then, I was just a child, so I let you go. But now, I'm not. Tell me, how could I let you leave me? So, you can't leave now."

He spoke domineeringly, making the same gesture with his hands, and pulled Chang Le directly towards the backyard. Chang Le couldn't break free and could only plead, "Bai Rufeng, don't do this, listen to me, I simply..."

"Don't you like me? I know, that's why I'll make you like me."

"But I will never like you."

"How do you know you won't like me? Don't you like my face?"

Bai Rufeng suddenly stopped, causing Chang Le to lose her balance and bump directly into his chest. Chang Le hurriedly tried to get up, but Bai Rufeng held her tightly. He hugged Chang Le and laughed, "Chang Le, this face is preserved so well because of you, so you have to take responsibility for it."

"I……"

Chang Le was speechless. This time, she was so frightened by Bai Rufeng's sudden behavior that she was at a loss for words, and she was also shocked by his domineering words that she couldn't respond at all.

What's going on? What's going on? Is this still the quiet, aloof Maruko she knows? Are you kidding me?

Chang Le has been placed under house arrest. Damn it, she's really been placed under house arrest.

Bai Rufeng was determined to marry her off, but what about her? Damn it, if she had been born a few years earlier, she could be his mother by now!

"Bai Rufeng, please let me go, okay? You spared me back then, can't you just let me live out the rest of my life in peace?"

"Bai Rufeng, you can't do this. I'm much older than you. Not only can I not accept it, but your family probably can't either. You'd better not insist on doing things your own way."

"Bai Rufeng, let me tell you, my business can't be delayed. If it is, I will lose money and lose my reputation. You'd better let me go right now, or I'll never let Qilin Pavilion off the hook."

"Bai Rufeng, why are you so stubborn?"

Despite several days of communication and persistent pleading, Chang Le couldn't dissuade Bai Rufeng from his idea. Instead, she became increasingly anxious. The business of Liusha Pavilion couldn't be delayed; otherwise, if they lost customers, the staff of Liusha Pavilion would have nothing to eat this year.

No, I have to leave.

Thinking of this, Chang Le acted immediately. In the middle of the night, while Bai Rufeng was asleep, she secretly slipped into the backyard, intending to climb the wall and escape, but…

"Damn Bai Rufeng, how come everything here is exactly the same as my house, except for this ridiculously high wall? Ugh~~"

Helpless, Chang Le went back to the front yard, hoping to leave through the gate. Since there was no one guarding the area, there might be a chance.

She tiptoed toward the front yard, but after a few cat-like steps, she found Bai Rufeng leaning against a pillar on the porch, drinking wine and lazily saying, "Don't waste your time. The front gate is made of iron, and the wall is as high as the back yard. You can't get out with your bare hands. Just give up on that idea!"

Chang Le was immediately enraged and went up to knock Bai Rufeng's wine pot to the ground, saying, "Bai Rufeng, are you deliberately trying to ruin me? The business I've worked so hard to build, and you want to destroy it? Is this what you call liking me?"

Bai Rufeng remained silent, while Chang Le sneered: "Bai Rufeng, I was wrong in the past, but I have already apologized. Now, ten years have passed, and I have left the capital and said goodbye to the past. Do you really want to force me into a dead end?"
