Chapter 1114: Chapter 1115: Bewitching Lady

"General Lu, what are you thinking about?" The Fourth Prince asked, shaking a jade flute in front of Lu Jianxi, who in that instant snatched the flute back.

"Oh, so Jianxi is feigning melancholy," the Fourth Prince said, a little hurt, "Usually, the valiant and fierce General, and now suddenly playing the part of a delicate young lady? You gave me quite the scare. It turns out it was all an act, taking back the jade flute is the real you," he said. "I was actually fooled by you, but when you pretend to be tender, you truly look cute. It makes me feel as if you are a woman again."

Lu Jianxi gave him a glare before raising her cup and drinking while saying, "Actually, I have indeed fallen for someone, but that person is from Jianghu."

The Fourth Prince said, "What’s wrong with someone from Jianghu? They value relationships, honor loyalty, treat their brothers well, and as for women... it depends. I’ve heard that many heroes from Jianghu are very faithful, and they usually don’t marry multiple wives and concubines. However, I feel like you’re hesitating, worried that you won’t be liked? Afraid that if you go to that person, you’ll be rejected? Or, worried that after not seeing each other for so long, they might have fallen for someone else and forgotten about you?"

Lu Jianxi nodded, openly admitting it.

The Fourth Prince disdainfully pointed at the jade flute in Lu Jianxi’s hand, "What are you afraid of? Look at what’s in your hand, the finest white jade, either a family heirloom or a treasure of a clan. How much must your Jianghu lover value you to give you that jade flute? But... I do have a little advice."

"What advice?" Lu Jianxi asked.

"If you truly like him, then you must act quickly. Some men, when they like someone, are willing to die for her, but if they don’t get a response for a long time, they might shift their affection elsewhere, and then they won’t like you anymore. When that happens, don’t miss out on the person you like because of your own hesitation."

Lu Jianxi finished the drink in her hand in one gulp, then rose to her feet, "The Fourth Prince is right. Even if I’m not chasing love, I should go and see if that man’s promises still hold true, right?"

...

In the Capital City, once Lu Jianxi returned her armor and military token to the Emperor’s hands, the Emperor was somewhat shocked, "Have you really decided? To roam the Horizon, not caring about worldly affairs?"

Lu Jianxi nodded, "I have made up my mind."

"Fine, if one day you grow tired of wandering, if you regret it, I hope you come back. It’s not about serving in the military for life, but I want to give you the best. I offer you silk garments and a thousand acres of good farmland," the Emperor said.

Lu Jianxi smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty. If a day comes when Jianxi can no longer make it out there and has no face to return, I will simply continue to roam the Horizon."

The Emperor laughed heartily, finding what Lu Jianxi said amusing. However, what she had said was true; if Long San truly did not accept her, or if he had fallen for another Lady, then she would choose to die alone on some desolate mountain.

After all, didn’t Long San used to like Nan Feng? And then he switched to liking her. Did he really just like independent and strong Ladies?

Now, there are plenty of such Ladies in Jianghu.

After leaving the Palace, Lu Jianxi first went back to Lu Residence, changed into a woman’s clothes, then sat down in front of a mirror to apply makeup, re-do her hair, and put on bracelets and beads. Once all those preparations were complete, the mirror reflected a Lady who, though valiant, did not lack a trace of charm.
