Chapter 326-330

Chapter 326: Reluctant Parting

Pei Qingfeng realized that he was the person in the mirror and he almost died from embarrassment. No wonder everyone was avoiding me when I went over to the general's residence.

"This... I was in a hurry to deliver the armor to you, hence, I didn't bother to look at my appearance in the mirror. Please don't be offended." Pei Qingfeng felt that he should explain himself before his image plunged.

When Bai Luochu saw the nervous Pei Qingfeng, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha, it doesn't matter! Your Second Highness is only concerned about my well-being. How can I despise you because of your appearance?" Bai Luochu felt that the current Pei Qingfeng was much more easily affected by other people's opinion of him. He was no longer the unattainable moon in the night sky.

Pei Qingfeng saw that Bai Luochu was laughing because of his unkempt appearance and he felt that it wasn't too bad. He allowed the manservant to freshen him up before he asked, "Even though I know you won't change your mind, I hope you can reconsider your decision."

Bai Luochu placed her cup down and sighed helplessly, "Why are all of you looking down on me? Since I have the confidence to accept the imperial decree, I definitely had a way to keep myself safe. With the addition of your flexible hedgehog armor, nothing will go wrong..."

"Are you going because of Pei Rumo?" Pei Qingfeng was finally unable to control himself as he blurted out the question in his heart.

Bai Luochu was befuddled. Why does everyone think that I love risking my life for others? Whatever, I can't let Pei Qingfeng misunderstand in case he causes more trouble.

"Nonsense! I will only do things that benefit myself. As for His First Highness, he is merely the Commander in Chief appointed by His Majesty. I am the army physician appointed by His Majesty and I can't possibly go against the imperial decree with my lowly identity, right? If it was possible to refuse the imperial decree, I would have already done so."

Pei Qingfeng sighed in relief. Even if she doesn't have me in her heart, as long as she isn't thinking of anyone else, it's fine.

Even though Pei Qingfeng was worried for her safety and knew that if he spoke with Honored Tian Yun, he would be able to convince the old emperor to retract the decree, he didn't dare to do it. No matter what, he had to think about what Bai Luochu wanted to do. He had no choice but to use his last resort to convince Bai Luochu to stay, "Luoluo, if there is a way for you not to head over to the Desolate Region, will you take it?"

"Are you going to ask the mysterious group of people to convince His Majesty?"

Pei Qingfeng didn't expect for Bai Luochu to immediately see through his thoughts. He was rendered speechless and stared blankly at her. Bai Luochu also felt that she was too rude to point it out directly and apologized, "There is no need to go through so much trouble. For an unrestrained prince like yourself to be appointed by His Majesty to attend to them means that you probably have a complicated relationship with those people. I don't need you to go through so much trouble for my sake. After all, we are not on the same side."

"It isn't troublesome." Pei Qingfeng thought that Bai Luochu was refusing because she wanted to be polite and he quickly responded.

Bai Luochu shook her head and said, "I'm not refusing because I'm afraid of troubling you. Instead, I need to go on the campaign as there is something I want there."

Pei Qingfeng knew that there was no chance of keeping Bai Luochu in the capital city. The air between them became still once again.

"You... have nothing else to say to me?" Bai Luochu broke the silence first. She felt that Pei Qingfeng wouldn't appear in the general's residence just to persuade her to stay.
