Chapter 70: What More Could He Ask For

    

you in the Military Headquarters" Ye Qingran scrutinized Feng Jin's face for a moment before pondering over the appearance of Lady Cloud. She was incredibly beautiful, and so was Feng Jin— one ethere...Volume 2: The Young Noble's Plot Chapter 70: What Else Can I Desire

When Yun Muhuan’s body trembled, his expression flickered between different emotions before he suddenly closed his eyes.

Yun Qianmo waited for a long time but didn’t see Yun Muhuan get angry. However, since his facial expressions were unpredictable, she couldn't be sure what he was thinking. She turned her head to look at Rong Jing. Rong Jing glanced at her with a warm gaze, calming her worried heart instantly. The truth was that if given another chance, she would still kill Princess Qing Wan. Therefore, no matter how Yun Muhuan reacted, the incident had already become an established fact and could not be changed.

"Qianmo, how can you... How can you kill a princess This is not a small matter..." Duke Yun looked pale as he stared at Yun Qianmo. His voice broke several times as he spoke.

“When I went there, she had already been raped and beaten beyond recognition. If I hadn’t killed her, would that mean I should let her live” Yun Qianmo raised an eyebrow as she looked at Duke Yun, puzzled by how such a weak father could come from such a strong mother. He was easily frightened by this small incident; how did he survive all these years!

“You’re saying... Princess Qing Wan is…” Duke Yun’s eyes widened in shock. He couldn’t complete his sentence as he saw that Yun Qianmo ignored him and turned to look at Rong Jing. Rong Jing had a calm expression, looking just like usual.

The Old Duke of Yun glanced at Duke Yun with an unamused expression before slowly sitting down.

Yun Qianmo thought that the old man was indeed more bone-strengthened than her spineless father.

"It's better if she’s dead!" After a long silence, Yun Muhuan opened his eyes and said emotionlessly.

Yun Qianmo froze when he spoke and looked at him.

“Young man Muhan, what exactly happened You always have shadow guards following you. Even if they didn't stay close to you, you can still use signal flares to summon them. How did this happen” The Old Duke of Yun calmed down and asked when he saw Yun Muhuan speak.

Yun Muhuan remained silent.

"Why aren’t you talking" the Old Duke of Yun glared at Yun Muhuan.

“Grandfather, when I went there, Brother was poisoned by Love Flower.” Seeing that Yun Muhuan had no intention to speak, Yun Qianmo replied for him.

"How did you get poisoned" The Old Duke of Yun frowned and asked. When he saw that Yun Muhuan still remained silent, he said angrily, "Speak quickly! The emperor will soon start inquiring about this matter, are you not going to say anything"

“Grandfather, why are you so anxious We should bandage Brother’s wound first and then ask him.” Yun Qianmo replied, deflecting the Old Duke of Yun's anger. She looked at the door as a maidservant brought in a medicine box. She waved her hand to signal the maid to bring it inside.

“Yes!” The maidservant immediately entered the room.

Yun Qianmo took over the medicine box and gestured for the maidservant to leave. Opening the medicine box, she took out bandages, scissors, and healing ointment before wrapping up one of Yun Muhuan’s wounds swiftly.

Yun Muhuan lifted his head to look at Yun Qianmo.

Without lifting her head, Yun Qianmo said softly, “Since I learned three years ago that you are my cousin, I never treated you as an outsider. Now, even more so. So whether you’re the Young Master of the Yun Family or the Crown Prince of South Ling, until your identity is not revealed and you haven’t switched places with Nang Li Rui, you will always be my brother.”

Yun Muhuan’s body trembled.

"Living in this world, not everything can be perfect. There must be gains and losses, as well as choices to make. I don’t care what kind of thoughts you have towards Princess Qing Wan—whether it's pity or guilt, or whether you started to like her. What happened today was seen by me, so I would kill her regardless if this scenario were to repeat ten more times." Yun Qianmo continued.

Yun Muhuan’s body trembled again.

"Although I don’t understand the situation today, it seems that both parties planned ahead and coincidentally met. The first wave was bandits from nearby mountains; the second group you should be able to tell their origins as well. Although they tried to hide their skills, using Heavenly Saint martial arts, some habits are hard to conceal. Moreover, given your background in South Liang," Yun Qianmo continued wrapping up his injuries while speaking, "I don't know who from South Liang wanted to harm you, but whoever it is, I will make them pay for trying to assassinate you."

Yun Muhuan’s gaze suddenly focused on the resolute brows of Yun Qianmo.

"Now that Nan Lingrui has returned to the Heavenly Sage, perhaps you still feel bitter about your uncle using you as an exchange for him. But I believe some things in this world are about destiny; it's possible that you have such a connection with the Yunwang Mansion," Cloud Qianyue did not look at Yun Muhuan and instead spoke softly: "If you still wish to be the Crown Prince of Nan Liang again, I will find a way for you and him to switch places. If you no longer desire it, then from now on I'll treat you like my own older brother."

Yun Muhuan's thin lips suddenly tightened.

Cloud Qianyue fell silent; she had said all that needed to be said and now it was up to Yun Muhuan to come to terms with his situation. She felt that even though Yun Muhuan rarely spoke, he understood some matters clearly in his heart. Ten years were enough for things to change.

"Qianyue, what are you... saying" Prince Cloud looked at her in confusion; her voice was too low and he couldn't make out what she said. He only heard something about an older brother and cousin.

Cloud Qianyue glanced at Prince Cloud; a father who could not even distinguish his own son, was this truly her father She looked over to the elderly Prince Cloud, who cast a glance at Prince Cloud but did not reprimand him as he usually would. She turned away and hid her expression.

Rong Jing's gaze flickered with something before it disappeared; he remained silent.

Seeing that Yun Qianyue ignored him, the prince glanced around at everyone in the room before falling silent.

The room fell quiet and no one spoke for a long time.

After some time, Yun Muhuan's injuries were bandaged up by Cloud Qianyue. She closed her medicine box and looked at Yun Muhuan. He finally opened his mouth slowly, "The love flower poison that was put in me was done so by Princess Qingwan!"

Cloud Qianyue did not change her expression; she had already guessed this.

"Tell us what happened! Let's hear the full story," Elder Prince Cloud said solemnly.

"After I parted ways with Princess Qingwan, Seventh Prince and my sister at the fork leading to the military camp and Xiyan Lake, I took Princess Qingwan to Xiyan Lake. She wanted grilled fish there and asked me to catch them from the water, but instead of entering the water, I used a branch to spear the fish on the surface while she waited above. Suddenly, she fell into the water for some reason; I had no choice but to dive in to save her. After rescuing her, I found myself too weak to move and only then realized that she had poisoned me," Yun Muhuan began recounting what happened.

"Then what" Elder Prince Cloud's expression darkened further.

"She took the antidote beforehand and when I was weak... wanted to harm me..." Yun Muhuan seemed reluctant to continue, glossing over details that everyone could understand before continuing: "I struggled with my strength to leave Xiyan Lake and went to a small lake on the opposite hillside to practice martial arts to expel the poison. Later, when I heard commotion and returned, I saw her surrounded by bandits..."

Cloud Qianyue's pity for Princess Qingwan vanished; some people brought their own downfall.

"I killed all of the bandits but then black-clothed killers showed up. Since I had been in the lake too long, my signal flare was useless and you know what happened later," Yun Muhuan closed his eyes as if saying these words were extremely difficult.

"When I arrived, you were protecting Princess Qingwan! Why" Cloud Qianyue asked; she felt like Yun Muhuan had left out something.

"To love someone is not wrong! She... didn't do anything wrong towards me either, except that I don't have a heart! Although she was like this... but I couldn't just stand by and watch her die," Yun Muhuan suddenly looked at Cloud Qianyue in an extremely dark manner with his tone somewhat bleak.

"To love someone is not wrong, but to force it upon them is," Cloud Qianyue said calmly. Forced affection would eventually turn into a burden and then madness; when mad, something was bound to happen. Just as today, Princess Qingwan had given up her life for this. In those circumstances, even though Yun Muhuan didn't love that woman and watched her die without helping, his actions were not wrong.

"Even if it is true, but if someone could control their heart, such things wouldn't happen in the world," Yun Muhuan suddenly glanced at Rong Jing before closing his eyes and saying to Cloud Qianyue: "All of you can leave; I want some peace."

Cloud Qianyue looked at Rong Jing who stared deeply at Yun Muhuan before walking out first. She also looked at Yun Muhuan, took a step forward and followed, knowing that what Yun Muhuan said made sense.

"Father, regarding this matter..." Prince Cloud saw Rong Jing and Cloud Qianyue leave the Western Maple Garden and turned to Elder Prince Cloud.

"Hesitating and afraid of everything, no wonder you never amounted to anything!" Elder Prince Cloud stood up angrily: "Princess was wrong first in putting love flower poison into Little Muhuan. If not for this, he wouldn't have left her alone there, which would've prevented the bandits from attacking and assassins coming after him. And if that stinking girl hadn't arrived in time to save his life, Princess's death would be fine! But since she survived, I'll have to seek an explanation from His Majesty!"

Prince Cloud immediately fell silent.

"Weakling!" Elder Prince Cloud snorted coldly before walking out the door.

The Cloud Royal Duke took a step forward and said cautiously, "But after all, the princess is dead, killed by Shallow Moon..."

"Who says it's that stinky brat who did it Even if she did kill her, she wouldn't tell the emperor. You're an idiot! How could I have a son like you If... " The old Cloud Royal Duke stopped mid-sentence and suddenly became furious before leaving the room with a wave of his sleeve.

The Cloud Royal Duke's face turned pale for a moment, then he also left the room.

After they left, Yun Muhuan opened his eyes and looked out the window, seeing Rong Jing and Yun Shallow Moon disappear from the door of Xi Feng Garden. The man in his moon white brocade robe had an elegant back view, while the woman in her purple clothes had a graceful one. His face darkened as he squeezed the blanket tightly for a moment before suddenly letting go, as if all his strength had left him.

Outside Xi Feng Garden, Yun Shallow Moon stopped and looked back, sighing with relief to Rong Jing, "Good thing it's not what I was worried about! If he really liked Qian Wan Princess, the situation would have been more difficult."

"Indeed, it's not what you were worried about, but what I'm worried about! Since he likes you, things won't be easy to handle," Rong Jing said with a solemn expression and voice.

Yun Shallow Moon frowned, then laughed at him, "What are you worried about He's just my brother! What's wrong with a brother liking his sister"

Rong Jing hummed lightly, "Is that how it is I think this kind of like isn't the same as the other."

Yun Shallow Moon turned her head and said seriously, "Whether it's this kind of like or that one, he's still my brother."

"This brother isn't the same as that! Even a cousin can't be fond of you," Rong Jing said with an awkward tone and a sullen expression.

"Don't worry. He knows clearly what's going on in his heart! Yun Muhuan is not Night Tianyi." Yun Shallow Moon sighed, pulling Rong Jing along, "Let's go to your house first and interrogate that person!"

"We don’t need to interrogate him ourselves; Qing Ying will do it," Rong Jing said as he was pulled forward.

Yun Shallow Moon thought the same. Since Rong Jing had used almost never-used Qing Ying to keep this matter secret, they should wait for the results.

"Do you still want the lotus flower fish" Rong Jing asked.

"Who wants to eat it now! No mood!" Yun Shallow Moon shook her head. She didn't know how the old emperor would handle this matter!

"You must eat," Rong Jing said.

"Let's go back to my Shallow Moon Pavilion first; the old emperor might summon us to the palace soon." Yun Shallow Moon pulled Rong Jing, quickening her steps.

Rong Jing nodded.

The two returned to the Shallow Moon Pavilion. It was now noon and Aunt Zhao had already prepared the meal. Upon entering their room, Cai Lian and Aunt Zhao served them on a table. Rong Jing and Yun Shallow Moon ate silently without speaking.

Yun Shallow Moon thought as they returned; there were no rumors about Qian Wan Princess in the streets of the capital. This meant that Night Tianyi had secretly brought her into the palace. What did this indicate Was he protecting his sister or preserving the royal family's reputation, or was it related to him Or did he know who else was involved

"Sir!" Yun Shallow Moon thought when she heard Qing Ying’s voice from outside.

Yun Shallow Moon looked up and saw a blurry figure of Qing Ying standing there.

Rong Jing asked gently, "How is it"

"Please forgive me, sir; I failed in my duty! The black-clothed leader forcefully broke through your acupoints, his meridians ruptured and he died," Qing Ying reported.

Rong Jing's chopsticks paused, Yun Shallow Moon’s expression turned cold. Rong Wang’s unique secret technique of a hundred steps to seal off the acupoint was unheard of in the world. Those who were sealed would be almost unable to move, and it had never been heard that someone forcefully broke through them. Today this was an exception. What did it mean when he forcibly opened what couldn't be opened It indicated not only his tenacity but also his knowledge that even if he returned alive it might mean death, or worse horrors awaiting him after returning. Therefore, to avoid these, he was willing to forcefully break through the acupoints at the cost of rupturing his meridians and dying. This further proved that the person behind the Southern Liang was cruel and ruthless, causing Qing Ying such fear about consequences if he failed.

"You go down there and thoroughly investigate this matter!" After just pausing his chopsticks, Rong Jing instructed calmly.

"Yes!" Qing Ying withdrew.

"What do you think of the situation" Yun Qianmo saw that Qing Ying had left and looked at Rong Jing.

"Prince Ri’s acupoints should have been released!" Rong Jing said nonchalantly: "If Prince Ri went to identify someone, after ten years in Nan Liang, he should have made some progress. At the very least, he could uncover some clues."

Yun Qianmo's mind stirred. Three days had already passed, and her dear brother was indeed about to release his acupoints. However, filled with rage, whether or not he would go to identify someone or help them in their quest remained uncertain. "If it concerns Prince Ri himself, he will definitely do what’s best for him!" Rong Jing seemed to know Yun Qianmo's thoughts and spoke to the window: "Xuanguo, go to the palace to fetch Prince Ri to Cloud Manor. Just tell him..."

"I don't think we need to fetch him! He's already here!" Yun Qianmo suddenly said.

Rong Jing fell silent, listened carefully for a moment, then smiled: "Right, there’s no need to go fetch him anymore! You may leave."

Xuanguo was puzzled and tried to listen but did not detect any signs of someone approaching. After pausing momentarily, he noticed some unusual wind currents and marveled at Miss Qianyue and Young Master's profound martial arts skills. Prince Ri must have been several hundred meters away when the Young Master spoke just now. He immediately withdrew.

Nan Lingrui landed gracefully and rushed into the house with anger as soon as his feet touched the ground, shouting: "Yun Qianmo! What a great deed you've done!"

Yun Qianmo tugged at her lips. Although she was angry then, it wasn't very nice to leave him there with acupoints sealed for three days. She saw Yun Muhuan rushing in filled with rage as the curtain behind him rustled loudly; she immediately stood up and pulled a flattering smile: "Feeling refreshed Looks like you had some good sleep these past few days!"

"How dare you speak! You... !" Nan Lingrui rushed to Yun Qianmo's table, originally intending to yell at her, but upon seeing Rong Jing seated next to her, his anger instantly switched targets. He lunged towards Rong Jing with a fist and gritted his teeth: "Rong Jing! How dare you wait here for me"

His palm wind was ferocious and merciless.

Rong Jing sat still, slowly speaking to Nan Lingrui: "Prince Ri, consider your actions carefully; if I were crippled by your attack, your sister would have to marry a cripple. Your future life will be ruined."

"Nonsense!" Nan Lingrui snorted and continued his assault.

Seeing no intention of Rong Jing to defend himself or dodge the strikes, Yun Qianmo remembered his injuries and quickly intervened: "Brother! If you really kill him, I'll be a widow!"

"Don't pretend innocence! You haven't married him yet! What widowhood" Nan Lingrui glared at Yun Qianmo. He then clenched one fist and swung the other towards Rong Jing.

Yun Qianmo intercepted his second punch, warning: "If you don’t stop now, I’ll tie you up with Crimson Beauty Silk! Don't think that as my brother I'll go easy on you."

"You stinky girl! Taking sides against me! Are you really my sister" Nan Lingrui’s eyes blazed with fury.

Yun Qianmo smiled sweetly, dragging out her words: "No, Yun Muhuan is my brother. Don't get your identity wrong." Seeing Nan Lingrui's expression change, she quickly amended herself and said seriously: "You're my older brother, my real older brother; I'm your younger sister, your real younger sister. Stop this nonsense! You've arrived just in time for something important to discuss."

"What is it" Nan Lingrui's face remained stern but his fury lessened when he heard "real brother and sister".

Yun Qianmo retracted her hands, asking: "Did you just release your acupoints or was it earlier Did you come from the palace Have you learned anything about Princess Qingwan's death"

Nan Lingrui angrily said: "Of course I just released my acupoints; otherwise how could I have allowed you to hide here and live carefree for three days!" He glared fiercely at Rong Jing as he spoke, then added: "Young Master Jing, this Prince is someone who holds grudges. You’d better be more careful in the future."

Rong Jing smiled faintly and said, "Prince Ri, are you telling me that no matter what time it is, I should bind her to my side" He nodded after his words: "I think this idea works well; thank you for reminding me, Prince Ri."

Yun Muhuan's face turned cold and said, "Since childhood, I've seen your ill intentions towards my sister. You were right not to guess wrong about me. If I had returned earlier, there would have been no way for you to gain an advantage!" He let out a cold snort: "But it’s not too late now. You’ll get what you deserve!"

Rong Jing suddenly reached up and held his forehead, sighing: "Indeed, one shouldn't provoke someone who holds grudges." Then he looked at Yun Qianmo and added, "Especially a future brother-in-law."

Yun Qianyue looked at Rong Jing and laughed out loud, "Pfft!" He was talking about Nan Lingrui! Why didn't he realize that he himself was also vengeful

Nan Lingrui snorted with a hint of pride, "You know best. The Crown Prince of this land is the most vindictive person! So you'd better be careful."

"Yes, I will definitely be more cautious from now on!" Rong Jing put down his hand and nodded with a smile.

Yun Qianyue glanced at them both. She knew that Nan Lingrui wouldn't really seek revenge for great offenses but he might hold grudges over minor ones. She pulled him to sit down and, after her smile faded, recounted today's events to him. When she finished speaking, she looked at Nan Lingrui and asked, "Brother, who is most likely to know about your exchange with you and attack Yun Muhuan"

All the anger on Nan Lingrui’s face vanished as he became serious, “Anyone could have done it!”

Yun Qianyue was stunned. "How so"

"The internal situation of Southern Liang is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface. Do you think all officials in Southern Liang support me" Nan Lingrui raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, “Don't forget that my father, your uncle, has other sons aside from me. He merely loves me more than them. However, love can sometimes be a double-edged sword."

Yun Qianyue frowned. "So you had no power in Southern Liang all these years"

"Of course I did! If not, I would have died countless times already," Nan Lingrui said with a huff, “but I always believed that one day, I would return to my country and reclaim the throne. So I never imagined that it could be too late for me to take back what is rightfully mine. Otherwise, why wouldn't I have been more meticulous"

"Then who do you think is most likely to have done this" Yun Qianyue asked.

"It should probably be the Imperial Tutor," Nan Lingrui replied.

"The Imperial Tutor" Yun Qianyue recalled that each country's governance was different. The Heavenly Saint Empire had temples and observatories while Southern Liang had an Imperial Tutor, Western Yan had a Holy Maiden, and so on.

“Hmm!” Nan Lingrui seemed unsure as well, “I need to see the head of the group you captured before he committed suicide in order to confirm my suspicions.”

"What is the Imperial Tutor like" Yun Qianyue thought about how she had been to Southern Liang but never met their legendary Imperial Tutor.

“The Imperial Tutor is not only kind-hearted and merciful, he also cares deeply for others. He is a great sage who would have likely become the number one monk in the world if he were a monk. It might very well be him.” Nan Lingrui said.

"Oh" Yun Qianyue glanced at Rong Jing and saw that he was listening intently without any apparent emotion on his face. She raised an eyebrow at Nan Lingrui, “Then why did the person forcefully break through Rong Jing’s seal and die with their veins ruptured”

"It's not because of cruelty but rather a sense of duty; he would feel guilty if someone couldn’t complete the task assigned to them by him. So they’d prefer death as an apology," Nan Lingrui explained.

"Haha, it’s amazing that even time has such strange things happen. I hadn't heard about such an interesting Imperial Tutor these years," Yun Qianyue said with a laugh.

“The Imperial Tutor only stays in the capital for two months each year and is supposedly in seclusion the rest of the time, but he’s actually traveling around the world. At this time of the year, the Imperial Tutor should not be back yet, so I’m just guessing. Plus, we need to see that person first to confirm if it was indeed the work of the Imperial Tutor," Nan Lingrui paused before continuing, “The Imperial Tutor helped my father bring me back to Southern Liang from Northern Frontier years ago. My father never told even the queen about this matter, nor have I ever let any hint out; only a few people in the world know of it. So it’s unlikely that those brothers would know about it. That's why I think it might be the Imperial Tutor behind this. However, it could also be that my stay here aroused their suspicion and if investigated thoroughly, there might still be clues leading to them. For example, didn’t you find out about Southern Liang three years ago So anything is possible!”

"Hmm!" Yun Qianyue nodded. "According to what you said, did the Imperial Tutor kill Yun Muhuan because he was afraid you would come back"

“Maybe yes, maybe no,” Nan Lingrui sighed.

"How so" Yun Qianyue narrowed her eyes.

“The Imperial Tutor wasn’t trying to kill him but to give us a warning. He was telling me and him not to act rashly. If the Imperial Tutor truly wanted to do something, he would have done it long ago; there's no need to wait until now,” Nan Lingrui said softly as he mentioned the Imperial Tutor.

Yun Qianyue nodded but didn't say anything more and looked at Rong Jing.

"String Song, take Prince Yi back to the palace," Rong Jing glanced at Yun Qianyue before giving an order to someone outside.

"Yes!" String Song descended gracefully.

Nan Lingrui seemed to know the importance of the matter and couldn't joke around about it. He stood up, glanced at Rong Jing, didn't refute anything, and stepped out of the room. The moment he left, String Song lightly touched his toes and headed towards the Yong王府, with him closely following.

Upon seeing Nan Lingrui leave, Yun Qianyue asked Rong Jing, "What do you think Has my brother ever mentioned the Imperial Tutor"

Rong Jing shook his head. "No."

"Back then when I arrived, dozens of people surrounded my brother; under such circumstances, I had to take drastic measures. Those people would have retreated if they were merely after Yun Muhuan's life," Yun Qianyue recalled the situation and filtered through those events in her mind.

"Hmm, it’s possible!" Rong Jing nodded.

“Did you notice that my brother looks different when he talks about the Imperial Tutor” Yun Qianyue asked again.

Rong Jing nodded. "Your brother and this Imperial Tutor seem to have a special relationship."

Yun Qianyue didn't comment on it; she thought that only Nan Liang Wang had accompanied him back then, but there was also the Imperial Tutor. She rubbed her forehead with her hand, saying, "The situation is getting more complicated!"

"It's not the matter itself that’s complicated, but people's hearts," Rong Jing stood up and walked behind Yun Qianyue, gently removing her hand from her forehead with his jade-like hand, and massaging it softly.

Yun Qianyue’s worries instantly dissipated. She leaned back, resting her head on Rong Jing's shoulder, closing her eyes, thinking that if there was always someone like him by her side, he would prepare steamed mandarin fish when she was hungry, bring tea when she was thirsty, massage away her headache pain, cheer up her spirits in times of frustration, and protect her from any difficulties. Then what more could she wish for

"Are you feeling better" Rong Jing asked softly after massaging for a moment.

“Yes!” Yun Qianyue nodded, turned around to hug Rong Jing’s waist, resting her head on his chest and smiling at him. "I never thought we would end up like this one day. If I had known...

The sound of weapons could be heard from the entrance of Cloud Manor just as she was about to finish speaking. She immediately stopped talking and listened.

"If you had known what" Rong Jing also listened for a moment before smiling and asking.

“I would have dragged you to my Qianyue Pavilion the first time I saw you,” Yun Qianyue let go of him, stood up, and pulled Rong Jing outside. "Come on, let's see what’s happening!"

Rong Jing followed Yun Qianyue out of the room with a smile. “Why would you drag me to your Qianyue Pavilion” he asked.

“To watch you every day and find out how you ended up so heartless!” Yun Qianyue glanced at him, saying.

Rong Jing chuckled softly, a hint of reminiscence touching his face. "Back then, I thought if any ordinary girl was kissed like that, they would have fainted or acted dramatically, but never seen anyone act so nonchalantly. At the time, regardless of whether Cloud Manor and Honor Manor’s connection was fate or ill-fated, seeing you there made me decide to claim this little girl as mine!"

Yun Qianyue paused in her steps, her mouth twitching slightly, "At that time I was only five years old; you were seven!"

"Right, at five and seven, one isn't completely clueless," Rong Jing tilted his head to look at Yun Qianyue and gave her a profound smile. "You know plenty of things, like artificial respiration—probably the only person in the world who knows it."

Yun Qianyue’s face flushed red as she turned away silently, thinking that he would likely tease her about this artificial respiration incident for the rest of his life.

Rong Jing looked at Yun Qianyue with a light smile and seeing her silent, decided to be quiet too. The two of them walked out of the Qianyue Pavilion and quickly arrived in front of Cloud Manor’s courtyard; they saw thousands of imperial guards surrounding the entrance completely.
