Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

When Yoruichi found Mu Xue in a fit of rage, she saw her playing Go with Cang Lin.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he said, "Why doesn't Miss Fifth listen to her subordinates? The Prince will be worried if you keep this up."

"Xiao Ye, don't worry. With me by Xiao Xuexue's side, who would dare to touch her?" Cang Lin said.

Mu Xue threw down the chess piece in her hand, turned to Ye Yi, and said, "If I change my appearance, who would know that I am the ancient physician who went to the Mu residence that day? Ye Yi, aren't you being a little too cautious?"

“But the prince said,” Yoruichi was interrupted by Cang Lin before she could finish speaking.

"Stop! Don't say it like the old prince says. Your prince isn't even here. Don't you understand that a general in the field may not obey orders?" Cang Lin said bluntly.

Yoruichi was somewhat dejected. He didn't know how his lord would punish him when he found out he had messed things up.

Mu Xue seemed to know Ye Yi's worries, and she kindly explained, "Your prince won't blame you. I will definitely plead for you next time I see him."

Yoruichi said helplessly, "Fifth Miss, this isn't about pleading for mercy. Aren't you being incredibly reckless with your own safety? Aren't you worried about your uncle?"

Hearing Yoruichi's words, Cang Lin snorted coldly, threw down the chess piece in his hand, and said irritably, "What can I do? This girl had already taken care of everything before she came back to inform me. What can I do? It's too late to make amends."

After saying that, he didn't forget to glare at Mu Xue.

Mu Xue smiled and bowed repeatedly, secretly cursing Ye Yi for not knowing how to read people's expressions.

She had finally managed to appease Cang Lin, and now Ye Yi brought it up again.

Mu Xue raised her right hand and repeatedly assured, "I promise, I will stay by your side every day for the time being."

Cang Lin's complexion improved considerably after that.

Since things have come to this point, saying anything more will not help.

At this moment, Wang Heping walked in. He walked up to Mu Xue and Cang Lin and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master, there is a young man outside who claims to be surnamed Ren requesting an audience with you."

Mu Xue was taken aback. Ren? Ren Yuan? What's he doing here?

I finally managed to get rid of him last night, so why is he back so early this morning?

"Please invite him in," Mu Xue said.

Cang Lin raised an eyebrow at Mu Xue, a playful smile playing on his lips. He grumbled, "Not bad, little Xue Xue. One after another, first Ye Shangyuan, then the young master of the Wang family, and now this young master surnamed Ren. Hmph."

Hearing this, Yoruichi also looked at Mu Xue, sizing her up and down.

Mu Xue stared speechlessly at the rooftop. What on earth was all this nonsense?!

She looked at Yoruichi and said, "What kind of look is that? Take it away! There's nothing between me and Wang Xuanze, nothing at all, understand?"

Yoruichi looked at her suspiciously and asked, "And what about this Young Master Ren?"

"Of course we're related, I'm Little Xue's personal bodyguard," Ren Yuan said loudly, as if afraid others wouldn't hear him.

"Who are you calling Little Xue?" Cang Lin was the first to object.

"Who is your little Xue sister?" Mu Xue thought to herself, this person really doesn't miss the opportunity to stir up trouble.

"What are you doing here, Young Master Ren?" Ye Yi looked at Ren Yuan with some surprise.

The two didn't have a chance to meet yesterday, and Yoruichi didn't pay attention either. She never expected that Ren Yuan would also know Mu Xue. What a coincidence!

"What? Little Yi, why can't I be here?" Ren Yuan asked Ye Yi with amusement.

"Hehe, whatever makes Young Master Ren happy." Yoruichi immediately fell silent.

This gentleman is comparable to the young marquis Shen Ji.

Even after being chased and beaten all over the capital by Lord Ren, he still went out to have fun as usual the next day, without it affecting his business at all.

Ren Yuan's mother was the aunt of the young marquis Shen Ji. The two were cousins, but they would fight to the death whenever they met since they were young.

Don't be fooled by Ren Yuan's easygoing nature; he can be quite ruthless in his dealings.

Yoruichi remembered that just two months ago, the young lord was attacked by him, and his face was bruised and battered, a truly pitiful sight.

Mu Xue watched their conversation with curiosity and asked, "Do you know each other?"

“Yes, we know each other!” Ren Yuan said.

"Not familiar with her," Yoruichi said.

The two spoke at the same time and then looked at each other.

"Oh!" Mu Xue understood.

The two knew each other, but weren't close, and it seemed they were somewhat hostile towards each other.

"Hey, where did you come from?" Cang Lin asked at this moment.

When Ren Yuan saw Cang Lin, his eyes flashed. Cang Lin was using his original appearance at this moment.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a handsome man before?" Cang Lin said, somewhat annoyed, when Ren Yuan didn't reply and just stared at him.

"Cough cough~" Mu Xue had just taken a sip of water when she heard Cang Lin's words, which made her choke.

Cang Lin glanced at Mu Xue sideways, and Mu Xue immediately smiled ingratiatingly.

"I was entrusted by Master Zong to protect Miss Mu," Ren Yuan said solemnly.

Cang Lin glanced at Mu Xue with amusement and said, "Master Zong? Zong Hua?"

He hadn't forgotten the experience of being chased and beaten at the Treasure Pavilion last time.

Mu Xue continued to giggle guiltily, until her laughter became stiff, but Cang Lin ignored her.

She prayed incessantly, "Please, let this hellish meeting end soon! This place is no longer fit for mortals. Someone, please take me away!"

Ren Yuan said, "Yes, Master Zong was worried that Little Xue was unsafe in Yu Nan City because she had no one to help her, so he asked me to take care of her."

"Xiaoxue, I'm fine here. You can leave now," Cang Lin said, waving his hand.

Ren Yuan shook his head, walked to a chair and sat down opposite Ye Yi, saying, "Since I promised Master Zong, I will naturally keep my word. You agree, right, little Xue?"

"Hehe, hehe." Mu Xue could only give him a silly smile.

Just then, Su Su walked in. She bowed respectfully and said, "Uncle, Granny Kang wants to discuss something with you. Please come over now."

After saying that, she lowered her head and stepped aside, not forgetting to wink at Mu Xue.

Mu Xue's eyes lit up instantly, and she hurriedly said, "Uncle, you must go quickly. Granny Kang must have something important to tell you. Go now! Hurry!"

As she spoke, she didn't forget to get up, pull Cang Lin up, and push him towards the door.

Su Su looked at her mistress with amusement.

Mu Xue shook her head, and Su Su bowed and took her leave.

Before leaving, Cang Lin glared at Mu Xue and said, "I'll deal with you when I get back."

He followed Susu outside.

Watching the two walk away, Mu Xue slumped back in her chair, as if deflated, and asked, "Brother Ren, didn't you go back to the Treasure Pavilion last night? What brings you here again?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Yuan rolled his eyes at her and said, "You little ungrateful girl, who am I here for? Isn't it all for you?"

"For me? What did I do?" Mu Xue asked, puzzled.
