Chapter 301: Chapter 301 Chu Baihan Expresses His Feelings

Despite her reservations, Princess Nan Leqin finally decided to accompany Lun Chengran on his mission.

She could hardly wait any longer.

She wanted Chu Baihan dead, immediately.

If she waited for Chu Baihan to be brought back before making her move, she feared there might be complications.

"Don’t you play tricks on me, or this princess will kill you," she warned Lun Chengran.

Lun Chengran bowed his head, concealing the emotions in his eyes, and whispered, "Yes, Princess Xiaoqi."

While Princess Nan Leqin and Lun Chengran were secretly making their way into the mountains, Nan Xu and the others also received word.

"Princess Xiaoqi sure has some nerve; she’s completely ignoring your orders now, Your Highness," Nan Leshi remarked somberly.

A murderous look flashed in Nan Xu’s eyes.

But after a moment, he chuckled lightly, "She simply hates Chu Baihan too much and wants to find him quickly to exact her revenge; I understand her feelings."

Nan Leshi and Kong Cheng exchanged glances.

Understand?

They feared the moment Nan Xu turned his back, he might just have Princess Nan Leqin killed.

After all, it was Nan Leqin’s own foolishness leading to her demise.

The same went for Lun Chengran, daring to defy Nan Xu.

But the more people like that perished, the better.

In the end, only they would remain by Nan Xu’s side.

"Let’s go and see how little Xiaoqi intends to deal with Nan Baihan," Nan Xu said leisurely.

"As you wish, Uncle," Nan Leqin replied eagerly, nodding her head.

Finally... the time for Nan Baihan’s death had come.

Soon, another group of people followed Princess Nan Leqin’s party into the mountains.

...

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the cliff.

As nightfall approached, the place grew darker and darker.

Chu Baihan sat by the river, feeling that they could not wait any longer.

She clapped her hands and stood up, "We have no idea what’s happening up there, whether Lun Chengran can successfully deceive Nan Leqin and the others. Either way, we can’t just sit here doing nothing. I’m going to find some firewood; otherwise, we’ll freeze to death tonight."

With that, she prepared to look for firewood.

Shi Jing immediately stood up, "Princess, allow me to accompany you."

After they had made their plan with Lun Chengran, they left him up top with Yan Lin, acting as if he and the princess had fallen down the cliff.

To lend credibility to their story, they had actually climbed down the cliff.

They had been at the bottom of the cliff for several hours now.

"No need; just wait here. I can gather the firewood myself," Chu Baihan frowned, speaking in a subdued tone.

Ever since she learned of her father’s intentions to pair her with Shi Jing, she had been reluctant to speak with him.

"Princess, knowing we’ve fallen off the cliff, they will certainly send people down to search. Among them will definitely be Princess Xiaoqi and Prince Nan Xu’s men, so it’s dangerous for you to be alone," Shi Jing insisted earnestly.

His fussing was truly annoying; Chu Baihan replied indifferently, "Fine, if you wish to follow, then come."

She regretted why she had allowed Shi Jing to come down with her.

"The Princess insisted on taking me down, against Pavilion Master Tang’s wishes and leaving him up top. Could it be because the Princess... believes I’m more reliable?" Shi Jing queried.

At that moment, Shi Jing glanced at her profile and couldn’t resist probing.

He wasn’t blind, he could tell that Chu Baihan and the Pavilion Master had an extraordinary relationship.

But this time, her bringing him down, did it mean that he was extraordinary too?

Upon hearing Shi Jing’s words, Chu Baihan turned her head, looking at him with a strange expression, "General Shi, what’s wrong with your brain lately? I had the Pavilion Master stay up top for a reason, because he is more reliable. With so many demons and monsters above, we need someone smart and reliable who can cope..."

"After all the foolish things you have done before, if you were left up there, who knows if you might suddenly leak that the Princess faked an accident?"

She rolled her eyes, speaking disdainfully.

Shi Jing’s smile stiffened severely.

Recalling the foolish things he had done before, he said forlornly, "I apologize, Princess Chu, I indeed behaved foolishly in the past."

Upon looking at him, Chu Baihan not only refrained from comforting him but spoke seriously instead, "It’s good that you know. If you dare to burden me again in the future, I will break your legs."

"If the Pavilion Master were to burden the Princess in the same way, would you treat him the same?" Feeling somewhat unconvinced, Shi Jing asked.

"No," said Chu Baihan, her attitude firm.

"So you would indulge him?" There was a trace of resentment in Shi Jing’s voice.

He had always felt that Chu Baihan was someone with a clear sense of love and hate, right and wrong; if Tang Ze made a mistake, she shouldn’t indulge him either.

The next moment, he heard Chu Baihan speak seriously, "He would not burden me, he never puts me in a difficult position."

Hearing these words of trust from Chu Baihan, Shi Jing felt like something was lodged in his chest.

Was Tang Ze really that... worthy of her trust?

Before the lump in his chest could dissipate, Chu Baihan continued, "Actually, even if he really did something that burdened me, I wouldn’t hate him. After all, he is my man, so what if he acts foolishly occasionally?"

If a certain King Yan were here, hearing these words from Chu Baihan, the corners of his mouth would probably be turned up to the sky.

Shi Jing’s chest ached, his complexion looking very ugly.

Was the Princess’s relationship with Tang Ze that good?

"Princess..." His voice trembled as he began.

But this time, Chu Baihan cut him off directly, "Shi Jing, has my father spoken to you?"

"Yes."

"Shi Jing, any decision my father makes has nothing to do with me. No one can force me to do something I don’t want to."

Chu Baihan stopped walking, turned her head to look at Shi Jing, and then spoke with a serious tone.

Shi Jing had just cleared his head a bit, and she didn’t want to see him confused again.

Although she didn’t specify what it was, Shi Jing knew she was referring to the arranged marriage.

His chest ached, and he looked down, speaking in a dejected tone, "Princess, Tang Ze has the backing of the Tang Sect, he is not a worthy match."

"Whether or not he is a worthy match for me is not for others to comment on. He is the man I, the King’s Princess, have recognized as my own, and no one can denounce him. Not even my father, the Emperor!"

Chu Baihan’s expression turned cold in an instant, her tone sharp and forceful, leaving no room for doubt.

"Do I really have no chance at all?" Shi Jing asked, his head bowed, his voice muffled.

He wanted to fight for her too.

But Chu Baihan’s attitude was unwavering, she said coldly, "Shi Jing, don’t push me to treat you as an enemy. No one can replace Tang Ze in my heart."

"Alright, I understand. I will not overstep my bounds again," Shi Jing replied after a long while, clenching his fists as he raised his head and spoke to Chu Baihan with determination.

If he could remain clear-headed, then there was nothing better.

Chu Baihan let out a sigh of relief, nodded her head, and then turned to find some firewood.

Shi Jing stood in place, watching her receding figure with a complex look on his face.

In the end, as if he had made some decision, he quickly caught up to her.
