Chapter 552: Chapter 552 Alliance Formation

"The Ninth Prince’s purpose for traveling south has been attained, and here I am, lying in comfort, eating delicacies, and savoring spicy foods—how is that not a good thing?"

Wenren Pingting choked, her mind whirring into action.

"Could it be that you were truly outwitted by the Ninth Prince? Does he really want to kill you?"

Wenren Pingting quickly conjured up another possibility.

Bai Junjun had pledged allegiance to Yuwen Jun, only to discover that he intended to use her to create the opportunity to travel south, kept in the dark until a shocking upheaval struck in Biluo City. Following that, she found herself on the run.

"Or perhaps, after he escorted you to the Northern Lands, he never left and once again came to your rescue, bringing you here."

Him?

Bai Junjun’s eyes flickered—was this person speaking about Li Wenli?

If it was Li Wenli, why not just say the name directly, but instead refer to him as "him"?

Recalling Dian Hong’s remarks about avoiding impropriety, Bai Junjun couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. This Wenren Pingting was crossing the line; not only did she avoid seeing foreign men, but she wouldn’t even mention their names.

This level of propriety was simply invincible.

She only knew that Yuwen Luan Fei was phobic of women, but had no idea he was also so jealously possessive. Could it be he was cured from his phobia only to become a jealous type? Was he the type who couldn’t stand his woman giving another man so much as a sideways glance?

But that didn’t make sense either.

If that were true, how could Wenren Pingting, known as the Goddess of Hundred Flowers, freely show her face here?

Bai Junjun pondered over Wenren Pingting’s situation, while Wenren Pingting took Bai Junjun’s silence for agreement.

Her eyes sparkled as she seemed to make a significant decision, grabbing Bai Junjun’s hands.

"If you’ve truly been duped, I am willing to make decisions on your behalf."

"?" Bai Junjun instinctively stepped back, withdrawing her hand, "Decide what?"

"From today onwards, as long as you follow me, I will protect you."

"???" Bai Junjun looked at Wenren Pingting in confusion. Protect her? Why?

"Yuwen Jun is your enemy, and he’s my enemy too. The enemy of my enemy is an ally."

"..." Bai Junjun stared at her speechlessly. "No... there’s no need."

It seemed like they didn’t quite match up.

"No need?" Wenren Pingting said incredulously, "He wants to kill you, yet you let him off so easily?

Back then, you didn’t hesitate to harm others and even sacrificed your reputation to be with him, and for such an outcome, don’t you feel wronged? Don’t you want to claim this debt back?

Don’t worry, if you’re concerned about your safety, now, in the heart of the Central Plains, as long as I don’t kill you, no one else can touch you, not even Yuwen Jun!"

"..." Bai Junjun looked at Wenren Pingting speechlessly.

She couldn’t either, right? What on earth was this woman thinking?

However, how could Bai Junjun be unaware of Wenren Pingting’s purpose in eagerly trying to win her over?

She must also want to keep her as a trump card against Yuwen Jun.

Currently, with Lao San and Lao Jiu fighting each other, they were troubled by their inability to weaken Lao San’s power, so helping was out of the question.

Refraining from adding chaos was the greatest kindness they could offer.

If Lao San won, Bai Junjun would be superfluous, and her fate would depend on a single word—whether to kill or spare her.

However, should Yuwen Jun seize Lao San’s territory, Bai Junjun would become an excellent trump card. After all, Yuwen Jun had used the pretext of avenging the World’s Number One Talent Girl to travel south. If the World’s Number One Talent Girl was not dead, his rationale for ’a righteous fury for a beauty’s plight’ would become a laughing stock.

Therefore, Wenren Pingting would keep Bai Junjun at all costs.

Even if Bai Junjun were unwilling to accompany her, Wenren Pingting would send soldiers to follow and surveil.

This place was Wenren Pingting’s territory after all, and trailing someone here was not difficult.
