down and gently kissed her forehead. He loved seeing her smile, with eyes crinkled at the corners; he loved seeing her carefree and playful, seeing her act cute and spoiled... But he hated seeing her..."This must be fate, perhaps even heaven itself thinks I can't marry him. But I don't believe in this nonsense! What the heck" Xiao Yuge currently hated things like destiny and fate the most. If they were real people, she would definitely fight them, a life-or-death battle to see who survives! It's better than being manipulated by them like this!"

"This is the little girl I know!" Ye Wuhuan let out a breath of relief, thankfully, she hadn't been defeated by these things, she was still that flamboyant and confident her.

"By the way, Ye Ge, has Lightning Pavilion assigned anything to you guys lately" Xiao Yuge felt strange. Lightning Pavilion seemed to have been quiet for a long time, and they hadn't received any missions.

Ye Wuhuan shook her head: "No, it's just that a while ago, an envoy came to us, asking us all to get ready. I don't know what they're up to."

Speaking of which, he just remembered the second reason why he came here today: "By the way, Geri, someone spent a lot of money these past two days trying to buy Feng Wuji's life!" Luckily, his people had secretly reported the whole story back. Otherwise, if his men had acted, that little girl would have hated him to death.

"Can you find out who placed the order" This was within Xiao Yu Ge's expectations, only she didn't expect the other party to act so quickly. With a single move, they summoned the assassins from Qianji Pavilion. If it weren't for Ye Gege being acquainted with her, even Feng Wu Ji, being a generation of war god, would have likely died.

"This shouldn't be difficult, but if our Thousand Machine Pavilion doesn't take this job, I'm afraid other organizations will. After all, the client is paying a lot of money, well above the usual rate."

"That's interesting. Who in the entire imperial city could afford to pay so much to have someone assassinated, especially the Regent of Tianzhu" Xiao Yuge narrowed her beautiful eyes: "Now that everyone knows Feng Wujie has arrived in Lan Zhao, if something were to happen to him here, Tianzhu would definitely take advantage of the situation to start a war. And Chi Yan Guo has long been eyeing this opportunity. At that time, if they joined forces, the entire Lan Zhao would be caught between enemies. Even if Lei Ting Ge intervened, the whole world would be thrown into chaos. Therefore, Feng Wujie absolutely cannot die!"

Ye Wuhuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Is it because of this world that Feng Wuji can't die, or is it because... you care about him" Perhaps only a few people knew the inside story, and he was one of them.

Xiao Yuge didn't hide her feelings: "Alright, although I don't plan on acknowledging him, I can't just stand by and watch him die."

"Why won't you acknowledge him Don't you always want to find your biological parents Now that he's come looking for you, why refuse to recognize him" Ye Wuhuan didn't understand.

"Recognizing him means I'll become the next generation saintess, a suffocating identity. Do you think I can live like that I yearn for a life of freedom. What riches or glory, what noble saintess title, none of it is what I want. Since Xiao Yufu desires it, then give it to her. Consider it compensation for taking up ten years of her life. Now, let her take over my life too."

"False cannot become true, and true cannot become false. There will be a day when the truth comes to light. Have you really thought this through" Ye Wuhuan also admired her attitude towards life. If she hadn't been reborn, she wouldn't have lived so transparently.

"That's right, actually being without parents isn't so bad. No strings attached, I can go wherever I want." Xiao Yuge smiled at him: "Like now, being able to talk to you all so freely, if I were to become that saintess, it would mean losing you all. It's better not to become one then."

Ye Wuhuan was silent. She was right. Only with her current identity could he speak to her so freely without reservation. If she truly became that kind of saint, he estimated that it would be difficult to even see her face.

"By the way, Night Brother, if you find out who placed the order, could you tell me as soon as possible" It seemed like these days, he'd have to dispatch more people to secretly protect Feng Wujie.

"This is natural, of course. Once the Thousand Machine Pavilion declines this job, he will definitely find someone else. So, you still have to secretly remind Feng Wuji, letting him make plans in advance."

Xiao Yu ge's face was heavy as he nodded. "Hmm, I understand."

After chatting with Ye Wuhuan for a long time, Xiao Yuge noticed that the sky was getting dark. He returned to Mingzhu Mansion, but as soon as he reached the gate, he felt something was amiss.

"Father" She hadn't expected to see Xiao Zhan there, and his face was strange: "How did you come here..."

"Slap!" Before she could finish her sentence, a fiery slap landed on her face!

"Miss!"

"Princess!"

Qing Luo and Lu Xiangwan both hurried over to protect her.

Xiao Yu Ge secretly frowned, this slap made her face hot and stinging. This was the first time Xiao Zhan had hit her since she grew up, and he hit her so inexplicably!

"Qing Luo, you all get out of my sight!" Perhaps accustomed to issuing orders, Xiao Zhan didn't realize that this was Mingzhu Mansion, Xiao Yuge's residence. So, he directly ordered them.

“Miss……” Qing Luo looked at Xiao Yuge, her face full of embarrassment, while Lu Xiangwan didn't move at all. In her view, although Xiao Zhan was the prime minister, this was the county princess's mansion, he had no right to issue orders here.

"Qingluo, Lu jiejie, you two go in first." Xiao Yuge pursed her lips. Since Xiao Zhan had slapped her, she would just listen to him talk and talk.

"Miss..." Qingluo was still worried. After all, she had been in the Xiangfu for over ten years, and she still knew her master's temper.

"It's fine, come in." Xiao Yuge gave her a look.

"Yes!" Qing Luo gestured for everyone to follow him inside.

At this time, as the night deepened, anger filled Xiao Zhan's eyes. The look he gave Xiao Yuge was like he wished he could slap her two more times to vent his rage.

"Father, what is this..."

Before Xiao Yu could finish her words, Xiao Zhan interrupted her: "Don't call me father, I, Xiao Zhan, don't have a daughter like you!"

"Dad, what on earth happened You should at least give me an explanation." Xiao Yuge frowned, her eyebrows tightly furrowed. He slapped her the moment she arrived, leaving her completely dumbfounded.

"Who told you to poison Guier Don't you know you almost killed her!" It turned out that Xiao Zhan had gone to Meihua Mountain Villa.

“So it turns out Father came here because of this.” Xiao Yuge finally understood: “Did elder sister tell you, or did Master Shen tell you, that I poisoned Gui'er Did they not tell you that if it weren't for me, your Gui'er would be dead by now In your eyes, am I such a cruel person, unable to even spare a child Besides, if it was me who poisoned him, would I have saved him”

She didn't expect that Xiao Zhan, despite being a prime minister of a nation, couldn't even see through this little trick. Sure enough, when men encounter matters concerning women, even the most composed would become flustered.ally chain her up.However, I should still go find my senior brother later and ask about the Seven Steps Heartbreaking Crimson. Could it be that there are others in this world who know the secret formu...
