Young man laughed and said: "I am the killer of Lianyu, Xun brother saved me before, his wife I naturally call sister-in-law. Oh, yesterday I also came here, standing on the rooftop at the southeast corner, you probably didnt recognize me."

  "I came over today to find Brother Xun to talk about something, is he in?" The young man said to himself and was about to rush inside, just as the curtain lifted, Xun Nu walked out, and the two bumped into each other.

  When he saw Xun Nu, the young man restrained himself a bit and retreated to shout "Xun Ge". Xun Nu shook his head at Tang Lis expression and took the young man out. The two walked one after the other under a nearby willow tree.

  There was no one around, and the smile on the young mans face immediately disappeared. He said directly, "Xun Ge, I dont know whats going on between you and Lao Da, but theres something I must tell you." He glanced at the beautiful figure in the store, and his eyes revealed a few hints of suspicion and disdain: "Xun Ge, do you know this womans identity?"

  Xun Nu slightly furrowed his brow at the disdain in his tone: "What identity."

  Young man, you probably dont even know her real name, yet you dare to leave the cultivation realm for her? Youve been infatuated for such a short time and are already bewildered, I wonder what kind of soul-confusing medicine youve taken. If it were someone else, I wouldnt bother, but since youve saved me before, Ill call you Brother Xun - I didnt want to see you being deceived, so I came secretly to tell you that she has an unusual relationship with the Lord of Beicheng, and Xiahou Xuan has been searching for her in secret two months ago, even going as far as to find the Cultivation Realm.

  Xun Nu: "I dont care what she was like before."

  The young man felt a pang of sadness and frustration, but he also knew his own character. He said with a sigh, "Forget it, since youre willing to let it go, I wont make a big deal out of it. However, Big Brother sent a message to the North City yesterday, so theyll probably receive the news soon. Xia Hou Xuan is not someone to be trifled with, having become one of the four city masters at such a young age, his methods are overbearing and ruthless. If Xun Ge doesnt want to give her up, its best if he takes her far away."

  Xun Nu glanced at the open store, and Tang Li happened to look up and smiled at him.

  "I understand...". He withdrew his gaze and said to the young man: "You can go back, theres no need to come again. I wont see you again."

  The young man wanted to speak but stopped himself, gritted his teeth, and ultimately left without looking back.

  Xun Nu returned to the store and looked at Tang Li for a while, saying: "We need to leave here temporarily."

  Xun Nu suddenly said she wanted to leave, and Tang Li was surprised and guessed that the young man must have said something. The first thing she thought of was revenge. After washing her hands, Jianghu people still couldnt avoid the drama of seeking revenge. Wuxia is indeed not deceiving me, Tang Li thought, and comfortingly patted Xun Nus arm, nodding and saying, "Alright, Ill get ready now."

  Tang Li quickly gathered some essentials, prepared some dry food and snacks, and finally wrote a sign to hang on the shop door, indicating that the shop would be temporarily closed for a while. Just as she finished cleaning up, Xun Nu returned from the market with a sorrel horse in tow.

  As the shop door closed, Tang Li was suddenly lifted onto a horse by Xun Nu. She thought to herself that if this were modern times, it would probably be like her husband going on an impromptu trip. Thinking about it from another perspective, theres still some romance to it. Tang Lis mindset was very stable, but riding the horse wasnt very steady, so she had to carefully lean into Xun Nus embrace, which was slightly tiring.

  Two people left Baizhucity and headed east, leaving the official road after a while. The rural roads were surrounded by weeds, and the setting sun made it look even more desolate. Xun Nu held Tang Li in his arms, silent all the way, only to say now: "Letting you leave with me suddenly is my fault, if you like Baizhucity, after things are settled, Ill take you back."

  Tang Li Zheng was gazing at the sunset, but unfortunately, there was no camera to capture such a beautiful scene as a keepsake. Suddenly, she heard Xun Nu say this, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Why did you suddenly say that? Its not bad to leave and take a look around. Ive said it before, in this world, the person Im closest to is you, so as long as youre by my side, we can go anywhere."

  "You, dont be too obsessed with giving me a stable life, compared to pursuing what kind of life, now is the most important thing, how do you know Im not happy now?" Tang Li leaned into Xun Nus arms, slowly comforting him.

  At the age of twenty-two or three, she and two friends would suddenly think of going somewhere and set off together with their bags. They took trains, buses, and boats, and even rented a van once to visit several places. After returning, she decided to open a store with her friends.

  "Dont underestimate me, I can adapt to all kinds of situations." Táng Lí smiled warmly and softly, her tone was also soft and fluffy, but it didnt sound very convincing.

  Xunú pulled on the reins of the horse, with one hand embracing her waist, humming a sound, and it was unclear whether she believed or not.

  The horse was tired and slowed down, the two followed the smoke and came to a village to borrow a place to stay. The farmer was enthusiastic and treated them with meat food for guests. The newly made quilt was also given to them. The tall and strong farm woman even brought them a large basin of hot water. After washing up, they saw Xun Nu sitting in front of the window staring at the dark night, motionless. Tang Li got up and walked over, leaning against him from behind.

  "Whats wrong? Do you have something on your mind?" Her long hair cascaded down, fully revealing its gentle beauty under the lamp, making one involuntarily think of the term "gentle village".

  Xun Nus hand suddenly tightened, grasping Tang Lis hand, gazing at her with a peculiar gaze, "As long as you dont leave, I can do anything for you."

  Tang Li looked puzzled, "Of course I wont leave you, Xun Nu is worried about what, cant really tell me?"

  "You..." Yu Nu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly became serious, looked out the window and said without turning back: "Get dressed, were leaving now."

  Tang Li didnt dawdle, put on her outer garment and slung her bundle over her shoulder, walking out while tying up her hair. The two of them rushed straight out of the courtyard, without even having time to bid farewell to their host, mounted their horses and galloped away quickly.

  The night wind blew against her face, taking away the heat from her body. Tang Li tightly hugged Xun Nu, burying her face in his chest, guessing in her mind what Xun Nu was hiding from. Was it an enemy from his past or perhaps someone from his former company with whom he had a disagreement? Thinking about the assassination organization, maybe it wasnt that easy to quit, just like the mafia?

  They had just left the village when a team of people arrived in front of the village, each wearing a sword and with the emblem of the Northern City Lords Manor printed on their clothes. The large carriage in the middle, which was hung with two rows of lanterns, also had a golden emblem printed on it.

  After the carriage stopped, a thin man jumped out from the tree shadow and knelt down in front of the carriage. "Xiahou City Master please forgive me, that slave is too sensitive, he found my brother and me, and immediately took people away. However, my brother has already chased after them, he will leave marks for us along the way, and we will definitely catch up with them."

  A cold hum came from the car, "Lead the way."

  The man stood up and said, "Yes!"

  This group of people surged forward, chasing in the direction where Tang Li and the other had left.

  Xiahou Xuan sat in his carriage, feeling extremely displeased. Ever since the protagonist had awakened to reality and started guiding the plot back on track, he felt that everything was going against him. At first, he couldnt find any trace of the two female leads, and then he was bothered by Duke Xi of Western City, Xi Ling, who caused a lot of trouble, making it impossible for him to focus on finding people, delaying his search until just a few days ago when he finally received news about the female lead.

  Since he became the male lead, the worlds luck has been standing behind him, and everything he does is incredibly smooth. He hasnt tasted failure for a long time, but two consecutive losses of his worlds luck made him feel like there was something controlling him from behind. This feeling of being controlled and manipulated at will made him even more furious.

  Seeing the system panel prompt again, that annoying emotional line deviation, Xiahou Xuans anger surged in his heart, and his killing intent also rose steadily. Upon hearing the scouts report, those two had previously been husband and wife in Bai Lu City, Xiahou Xuan decided this time no matter what to first kill the male second-in-command, if it werent for the fact that the female leads death would directly cause his connection with this worlds vital energy to disappear, he really wanted to take care of that betraying female lead as well.

  Since it doesnt belong to him anymore, might as well destroy it.

  His gaze shifted to the still incomplete plot twist value, Xia Hou Xuan tightly closed his eyes, and managed to temporarily suppress that killing intent.

  Since shes the female lead, lets give her another chance. Hopefully this time shell make the right choice and work well with him to get the plot back on track, without provoking him again.

  Just before dawn, Tang Li heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind him, and it seemed that many people were getting closer and closer. At the same time, Xun Nu also sensed that more than a dozen black shadows were approaching on fast horses, with sharp and small breaking sounds in the wind. He didnt turn his head, but whispered to Tang Li: "Hold tight." Then he grabbed the Xun knife with one hand and made a swift spin behind him.

  After a burst of clanging sounds, countless tiny iron needles were knocked off by the blade. However, it wasnt over yet, as one person riding a horse behind them let out a strange laugh, raised an unusual weapon, and fired out numerous fine needles. Xun Nu danced his sword so fast that its shadow was almost invisible, not a single needle getting past him, and just as the two horses were about to collide, he suddenly reined in his horse and brushed past the laughing man.

  Tang Li in Xun Nus arms, only saw a burst of blood mist splashing out, that man let out a miserable cry and fell off his horse. Xun Nu did not stop at this, among the few people closest to them, three people all fell off their horses in an instant, no faster than Xun Nu drawing her sword. Tang Li for the first time saw Xun Nu take action at such close range, because of tension her heart was racing fast, but the chest she was leaning against, the heartbeat remained steady and calm, not a single beat out of place.

  Just as they were about to gallop away again, their speed was blocked and more than a dozen people caught up with them, surrounding them. After a moment, a magnificent carriage slowly drove over and stopped in front of the two.

  At this time, dawn had arrived, and the horizon was tinged with a pale white, as if the morning light was casting a glow on the man who emerged from the large vehicle, making his handsome face even more radiant, like that of a celestial being.

  This is Beicheng City Lord Xiahou Xuan, who can become the male protagonist. His appearance is undisputedly excellent, and as soon as he appears, he can attract everyones attention.

  Seeing Xiahou Xuans majestic appearance, Tang Li was stunned and stared at him in a daze.

  And she lost her composure, not because the male lead was particularly good-looking, but because she was startled by the semi-transparent panel floating in front of him.

  Tang Li: ...What is that? It seems like there are words on it too????
