He Lian took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, calming down: "I rarely go out, even when I do, its just the back kitchen that I often come to. I dont know many people, nor do I have any likes or dislikes."

  "Ive heard that humans are the most heartless, the best liars, and the ones who... " He gazed at her through his dark, blurry hair, his eyes fixed on hers as he slowly said: "Leaving without a word."

  He saw her stunned, and seemed to smile but not smile, saying: "Have you ever tried to leave someone without a word?" His tone was very light, as if there was no hint of questioning, just a casual mention.

  "No."

  He Lians words had barely fallen when he said: "Youre lying."

  "Leaving without saying goodbye in person is always a silent farewell."

  Thinking of what happened at the Qianqin Wangfu two years ago, He Luan said: "Sometimes it cant be helped."

  He smiled slightly, a very brief smile, "Have you ever thought that person can protect you?"

  "I know he has the ability to protect me, a lowly person, but he can only protect me once or twice, not four or five times. If I dont leave, the innocent people around me will suffer unnecessary harm because of him." He Lian said calmly, "The fortune teller once said..."

  "You are destined for misfortune, if you want to live a peaceful life, you must stay away from the homes of princes and nobles, otherwise disaster will strike and calamity will befall, this matter will also implicate others, whoever gets close to you will die." He interrupted her words, "But I calculated it out, and found that your fate is surprisingly good, although born into a humble family, but being doted on by your grandmother, you havent had many hard days."

  "These are all I got after leaving the royal family." He Luan said, once you leave the capital, you leave behind all the right and wrong. "I just want to live a peaceful life, even if I have to marry, marry an ordinary man as my husband."

  "What if I dont agree?" He sneered, interrupting.

  "Well then Ill just have to shave my head and..." He Luan said, "Yes, become a nun." Originally dressing up as a monk was only the stepmothers request.

  "He said: I still disagree."

  He Lean thought for a moment and said: "Whether you want to braise or steam it clear, stir-fry or deep-fry are all up to you."

  "With your small build, youre not even enough to fill a gap between teeth."

  "I can cook a lot of delicious food for you, enough to fill your teeth," He Lean said, "Prince Yue, are you still going to play this trick on the little kid?"

  "Dont scare little kids..." He smiled and said, "You were scared of me at first too."

  He Lean let out a helpless sigh, "Im really scared, shouldnt your anger be gone by now?" When they first met, he teased her like this, and when they met again, this guy actually wanted the whole tavern to join in teasing her, what could she do? She was also desperate.

  "You dont know, do you? The eyes of those in high positions are always smaller than needle holes." The King of Yue raised his black hair that was blocking his vision, and a pair of shining eyes sparkled like the reflection of a swaying candle flame. He smiled and said, "Im also famous for holding grudges."

  He is the only one in this world who can proudly say such terrible attributes.

  He Lean said innocently, "I have a letter of farewell that I deliberately left behind." She emphasized the two words deliberately.

  "You can say it directly to me."

  "Youre so eloquent, your words are like sharp teeth, and your logic is twisted, its hard for me to argue with you." She said, "If I had spoken up at the time, Im sure it would have ended like the previous times, and seeing others get hurt because of me fills me with guilt. I was even more afraid to stay, and once again proved the fortune tellers words about my fate."

  "Im curious, which fortune teller gave you your destiny?"

  He Lean said calmly, "After he finished reading my fortune, he died. Its very likely that I was the one who killed him."

  "Very well." The Duke of Yue said with a tone that was difficult for He Lian to decipher, his eyes gleaming with amusement. He released his grip on Bai Xiangs hand and vanished into thin air amidst her bewildered blinking, leaving behind a fierce gust of wind.
