The two people spying on Long Feiye and Han Yunxi leaving the city were none other than Tang Li and Ning Jing. They had arrived two days ago, just in time to witness everything that had happened yesterday. Ning Jing had been so shocked that her jaw dropped. Only now did she realize how much she’d underestimated Long Feiye and Han Yunxi’s capabilities. Meanwhile, Tang Li was feeling antsy after watching such an impressive show. How, how---how come I couldn’t get involved!

Although he spent his entire days with Ning Jing, he could still get news of Long Feiye and Han Yunxi. He knew what had happened to Grand Concubine Yi, and that the couple would come to the City of Daughters. Thus, he purposely changed their tour route to create a coincidence for them to meet. When he saw Long Feiye fighting with Lady Leng Yue, then Han Yunxi dismissing the jianghu faction, he couldn’t help but wish he could be standing by Long Feiye’s side to bask in their might. Unfortunately, he couldn’t. He had to pretend they didn’t have much of a past at all.

If possible, he’d follow them all the way to Celestial Mountain, but in the end he’d urged Ning Jing to leave together after the couple settled into the city last night. Instead, Ning Jing said she wanted to see the outcome of the event. Only after the carriage went out of sight did she turn back to Tang Li. “Tang Li, how come they’re leaving just like that? Where are they going?”

“How should I know?” Tang Li asked as he took her hand. “Come on, I’ll take you to get something good to eat.”

Ning Jing immediately shook herself free with a glare. “Try and touch me again!”

She and Tang Li had agreed on three rules before setting out. Number one was that they weren’t to touch. Tang Li let her fume as she willed as he grinned broadly. “I was just impatient, that’s all. I forgot in the heat of the moment.”

Ning Jing examined him with a cold smile. “What are you so impatient about?”

“I’m worried you’ll be hungry! Or that you’ll hurt your stomach from not eating warm foods for so long!” Tang Li said seriously as he stared into her eyes. “Jing’er, if your body’s exhausted from our trip this time, I’ll never live this down in my lifetime as your husband.”

Ning Jing had enough of his mouth. “Who let you call me Jing’er? You’re not allowed!”

“Then shall your husband call you Jing Jing?” Tang Li asked sincerely.

“You!”

In reality, Ning Jing was actually starving, but she didn’t need to eat as long as Tang Li talked. He was capable of filling her stomach with hot air! Tang Li just quirked a grin as he saw Ning Jing’s face turn green with fury. Although his duty was to subdue this woman within a year and gain the arms trade in her hands, it was quite fun to anger her once in a while.

“Tang Li, can’t you stop saying ‘your husband’ this ‘your husband’ that every time you open your mouth? Doesn’t it get annoying?” Ning Jing demanded.

Every time Tang Li talked, she was sure to find plenty of faults.

“Well, I’m your husband.” Tang Li looked at Ning Jing with a pitiful expression. He even blinked a few times to act cute and win her favor.

Goosebumps rose on Ning Jing’s skin. When she saw that Tang Li was going to keep talking, she quickly changed to topic. “Aren’t you on good personal terms with Long Feiye? Don’t you know where they’re going?”
