Between the rivals, **** for tat

After Emperor Beichen arranged the preparations for their departure, Mo Yunjue also arrived at the inn.

Seeing Mo Yunjue again, Emperor Beichen appeared even more indifferent than before. He was not a man lacking in confidence; on the contrary, he had absolute faith in his own abilities.

It was only Mo Yunjue's sudden appearance that caught him off guard previously, causing him to be somewhat disoriented. But now, with Bai Li Hongzhuang's support, he had regained his composure.

Upon seeing Mo Yunjue, Xia Zhiqing and the others displayed smiles on their faces. Mo Yunjue had been of great help to them since they arrived in Qingxiao Kingdom, especially when he went against the royal family for their sake, or more precisely, for Bai Li Hongzhuang's sake.

Given Mo Yunjue's intentions towards Bai Li Hongzhuang, the strange expressions on their faces were understandable. After all, they were well aware of Emperor Beichen and Bai Li Hongzhuang's relationship.

Meeting a love rival, jealousy naturally arose.

Whether it was Emperor Beichen or Mo Yunjue, they were both considered good men. However, resolving this situation was up to them.

"You'll be leaving tomorrow?" Mo Yunjue asked, his black attire exuding a restrained and handsome aura. There was no hint of awkwardness in his tone when he posed the question to Emperor Beichen.

Emperor Beichen's attitude remained indifferent. "Yes, we have stayed in Qingxiao Kingdom for quite some time. It's time to leave."

"Has Hongzhuang's injuries recovered?" Mo Yunjue inquired.

Based on what he had observed that day, Bai Li Hongzhuang's recovery would likely require more time.

"Not fully, but she has recovered for the most part," Emperor Beichen replied.

Xia Zhiqing and the others exchanged glances. They were worried that Emperor Beichen and Mo Yunjue might end up fighting each other.

After all, both men were love rivals, and everyone was aware of that fact.

However, the current situation was clearly different from what they had imagined. Both men appeared calm and relaxed, as if they were ordinary friends. This was surprising to them.

"I'll go and check on Hongzhuang," Mo Yunjue spoke up.

Emperor Beichen's expression remained unchanged, and he opened the door, entering the room together with Mo Yunjue.

He was not a petty person. Mo Yunjue had genuinely helped Bai Li Hongzhuang during this period, and he didn't want her to think he was stingy.

After Emperor Beichen and Mo Yunjue entered the room together, Xia Zhiqing and the others couldn't contain their excitement.

"Oh my goodness, I didn't expect them to meet and behave so calmly. I was worried they would start fighting as soon as they saw each other," Xia Zhiqing exclaimed, patting her chest, her eyes filled with concern.

Zhan Yunfeng nodded in agreement. "Ever since that day when Emperor Beichen and Mo Yunjue stood together in front of Hongzhuang, I knew something wasn't right. But their calmness now is even more surprising."

Cui Haoyan and Gong Shaoqing glanced at each other. As men, they had a better understanding of the situation.

The tranquility between Emperor Beichen and Mo Yunjue was just a façade. The moment the two men met, a tense atmosphere emerged. However, both of them were capable of controlling their emotions and hadn't shown any signs of it.

"I don't think so. They have been comparing themselves to each other all along, and men care a lot about these things," Bai Junyu said slowly.

As Bai Junyu finished speaking, Gong Shaoqing and Cui Haoyan nodded in agreement. Bai Junyu was right!
