Su Tao's footsteps faltered slightly. Lu Fengyun, standing next to her, noticed her hesitation and looked puzzled.

"Miss Su?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Su Tao was only lost for a moment, then quickly gathered her wits.

Meeting Lu Fengyun's concerned gaze, she pursed her lips and shook her head.

"I'm fine."

She remembered Chi Sheng was the leader of the bandits.

But for no apparent reason, why would his affection for her increase?

Lu Fengyun was caught up in his own glee and didn't notice Su Tao's unusual behavior. He just smiled and tried to hold her hand.

"Great, let's go then."

"Let's go." Su Tao did not firmly reject him but subtly avoided his grasp.

Not managing to hold her slender, white hand, Lu Fengyun felt a bit displeased. But with good news at hand, he let it go and simply guided Su Tao out.

He had thought that he would live cautiously here, but it seemed that the ministers of Xia country were not as daunting as he thought.
