Chapter 1012: Chapter 812: Long San Wants to Leave

Brother Yan chuckled, "Thank you Jianxi, since you understand me, next time I go out, you’ll have to cover for me again, thank you."

"..." Lu Jianxi didn’t know how to respond, as the Brother Yan before him was no longer the same as the one she used to know.

After Brother Yan left, another figure in white emerged from the next tent.

"Good morning, Jianxi!" Long San greeted Lu Jianxi.

Lu Jianxi nodded.

Just then, a general named Li Ze happened to pass by. He greeted Lu Jianxi first, then nodded to Long San, and as he passed, he suddenly said, "Did you two share a tent last night? But... I didn’t see anything."

Li Ze always walked fast, and soon he was out of sight, leaving Lu Jianxi no chance to explain.

But there was nothing much to explain anyway.

Lu Jianxi then looked at Long San and asked, "Have you been in the military camp all this time? Aren’t you tired?"

"Not tired," Long San replied, his smile somewhat faint, but his gaze never left Lu Jianxi, making her a bit uncomfortable. She hurriedly said, "I’ll take a walk up front."

"Jianxi, wait a moment," Long San called to Lu Jianxi.

"Is there something?" Lu Jianxi turned around.

"Could you come with me to a place? I have quite a few things I want to talk about with you," Long San said.

...

Half an hour later, the two were on a small hill not far from the tents.

Lu Jianxi looked at the quiet woods and couldn’t help but ask Long San, "Why did you bring me here?"

Long San smiled faintly and then said softly, "Jianxi, I think this time I must go back. After all, I’ve been out for several months. If I don’t return, the affairs of my group will probably go into disarray."

"Then..." Lu Jianxi felt a bit sad, but she still said, "Then you should go. It’s time to go back."

"Is that it? Not even a bit reluctant to part with me?"

Lu Jianxi looked at the numerous dense tents in the distance. "What lies ahead, whether I live or die, who knows? How can I afford the luxury of a romance?"

"That’s true, you are a lady whose heart is filled with dedication to the national cause," Long San said, somewhat melancholically, "And I am just a wanderer of Jianghu, everything I do is for my own clan, for personal gains."

"Don’t say that. This isn’t the life I want," Lu Jianxi said helplessly. "If you say more, I’ll have to treat it as mockery."

"Alright, I’ll stop talking about that," Long San continued, placing his jade flute in Lu Jianxi’s hands: "Take this flute; it can save your life in critical moments. Also, here’s a new score. The score I taught you last time won’t lure the snake out, but this one will."

Lu Jianxi asked puzzledly, "But from what I understand, this should be something that only the gang leader of your group would have. It shouldn’t be shared with outsiders."

"You are not an outsider," Long San said with a smile still on his handsome face. "When the war is over, you can either return this to me or keep it, as long as you ensure it’s well protected and not leaked outside."

"Is that appropriate?" Lu Jianxi asked. "I haven’t promised you anything, and after the war, I may not even find you."

"We’ll see when the time comes," Long San also looked toward the dense tents nearby: "It’s a pity that I truly cannot join you on the battlefield."

"When are you leaving?" Lu Jianxi asked.
