Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Were they trying to send them away to search for something valuable? Dream on! Did they think they were following them just to look for some useless princess?
Wei Na had already conveyed Young Master Nie and the guard leader’s words to her. She knew everything.
“The Princess’s disappearance is a big deal. Are all of you going to leave the Princess alone on Scorching Rock Peak? Won’t the Yueming Emperor blame you if he finds out?” she asked.
“Well…” The guard leader was at a loss for words.
He obviously could not tell her that the Yueming Emperor would only urge him to find that item if he knew.
“I just don’t think we should keep searching like this. We have to gather more people for the search, so…”
An Jiuyue blinked and asked, “Then can’t you just send a few people back to gather reinforcements?”
“Uh.” The guard leader felt a headache coming on.
“That’s true, but I also don’t think it’s a good idea to trouble the two of you like this. You must have your own things to do, right?”
He looked at An Jiuyue awkwardly, nearly explicitly saying that he did not want them to follow him.
“We don’t have anything to do!” An Jiuyue shrugged as if she did not understand him.
“We’re just here for leisure. We don’t have a specific destination in mind. We happened to meet you, so we helped you. After all, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda to honor the dead.”
The guard leader was speechless.
To hell with the seven-story pagoda! Could he tell them that he did not want them to follow him anymore?
Were they pretending not to understand him? He felt like that was exactly what they were doing! Were they trying to follow them?
His expression darkened at the thought.
He could not help but glance at their expressions, wondering if they had followed them because they knew what they wanted to do.
Did the Zhanling Empire find out about their whereabouts and come to snatch their treasures?
“Young Master Qian, Madam Qian, let me put it this way. We have other things to do now. We won’t look for Princess for the time being.”
His tone became less friendly when he considered how the two people in front of him might be here to snatch their treasures.
If not for the fact that their cultivation levels were higher than his, he would have killed them.
“What are you going to do? My husband and I can help.” An Jiuyue was still smiling, as if she did not notice the guard leader’s ugly expression.
She turned around and glanced at Qian Jiyun. “Husband, we’re actually quite free, right?”
“Mhm.” Qian Jiyun patted her head dotingly and nodded.
“You… Both of you…” The guard leader was dumbfounded.
He finally understood that the two of them were probably pestering him on purpose.
Were they doing this because they knew nobody here could control them and wanted to seize the treasure they were after? Or were they here because Zhanling Empire had sent them?
If they were really from Zhanling Empire, wouldn’t he be inviting a wolf into his house?
He wanted to cry when he remembered how he had treated them as his guards and asked them for protection along the way..
