Chapter 538 - Let’s Elope
As this notion arose in his mind, he could not control himself any longer and turned his demonic wolf to follow her. It was Feng Tianlan. He was not seeing things wrong.
Just as he was about to call her, the man on the two-headed leopard caught up behind him and spoke sarcastically, “Didn’t you say that you don’t like the princess? Why is it that now we have arrived, you can hardly wait to please her?”
This sarcastic voice made the man calm down immediately, so he did not call out, but his gaze could not help but followed the back view of that young man in white.
“What are you looking at?”
He quickly moved his gaze away and said with a serious tone, “The inn in which the princess stays is right ahead.”
At this moment he could not acknowledge her yet. That would not be good for her. Moreover, there was no need for them to acknowledge each other as she did not even know him. It was enough for him to be able to protect her.
The gaudy and flamboyant man sniggered and did not pay any attention to him anymore.
Feng Tianlan felt eyes staring at her, but when she turned around, she could not see anyone, only the troops from Evanesce City holding the crowd back. She thought that perhaps she was being overly sensitive, as they are all walking in the same direction after all. It could just be a coincidence.
When she returned to the inn, Feng Tianlan entered through the door and gave the pack of medicine to Liu Li so that she could go prepare it. She looked at Gu Nansheng, who was lying on the bed looking rather sick and weak, and said, “The men from Evanesce City are here.”
After that day, perhaps because her strong willpower collapsed, Gu Nansheng fell sick. Because they could not trust the people around her, Feng Tianlan had gone herself to buy medicine from the pharmacy.
“Is that true?” Gu Nansheng did not seem to be affected by this news and appeared somewhat indifferent.
Feng Tianlan gave a gentle affirmation and did not speak anymore. She wrung out a new towel and changed the one on Gu Nansheng’s forehead.
“Does he look handsome? How does he compare to Wargod?” Seeing how Feng Tianlan was staring at her without saying a word, Gu Nansheng gently laughed and joked, “Great-grandmaster, If I were a man, I would also love you.”
The more time she spent with Feng Tianlan, the more goodness she found in her. Even someone like her, who did not like to make friends, could not help but want to become close to Feng Tianlan.
“I am a man now,” Feng Tianlan said emotionlessly.
Gu Nansheng continued speaking, “Then let’s elope. You will be my support and finish off that b*tch Yun in the palace, I will repay you with my body.”
“I have a man already.”
“But you don’t have a woman.”
Feng Tianlan glanced at her briefly and did not respond to her words. They were her way of showing how she was trying to be happy in such a bitter situation.
At this moment, the Imperial Forest Army could be heard outside the door. “Princess, the Young Master of Evanesce City is here, will you meet with him?”
The off-putting voice made the smile on Gu Nansheng’s face disappear almost instantly. After a while, she said, “Let him wait outside the door for a while.”
She was no longer the princess who was loved and doted on and could no longer do whatever she wanted. She needed to think about herself and her mother. She could not let a little b*tch with unknown origins hurt her mother and her imperial brother.
Even if she was most unwilling and her body felt very uncomfortable, Gu Nansheng still went to meet the people outside. She dragged Feng Tianlan along with her, using the excuse of “Great-grandmaster, your great-granddisciple is about to get married, won’t you come and check this man out? What if he is not a good match for me?”
In regard to this, Feng Tianlan was pretty speechless. Gu Nansheng was indeed very good at exploiting their relationship. She called her great-grandmaster very naturally.
Standing upstairs, the two saw the men waiting downstairs. Gu Nansheng softly introduced them to Feng Tianlan, “That man in flowery clothes is called Wu Qi. Two years ago he asked for my hand in marriage, but I did not like him and rejected him. I thought I would be marrying him again this time, but Evanesce City changed the groom to the man beside him.”
