"NO!" This young master does not have any interest in a useless woman! "
Yue Junqian said to Zhao Yanran. There was no warmth on his face.
Originally, Zhao Yanran thought that he had already given up on Yue Junqian and that he wouldn't be able to move his body anymore.
However, after hearing his words, his heart was inexplicably torn and painful.
"Heh heh... Young Master, you sure have a ruthless heart! " Zhao Yanran smiled helplessly.
"Cut the crap. Since you've voluntarily come to my doorstep, don't blame me for being impolite!" As Yue Junqian said that, he took out his sword and thrusted at Zhao Yanran.
Seeing that, Zhao Yanran immediately moved to the side, dodging Yue Junqian's attack, and the long sword pierced the pillar at his side, leaving a deep cut.
Looking at the deep scar on the pillar, Zhao Yanran's heart instantly turned cold.
"Do you really not care about your old friendship?" Zhao Yanran bit her lips tightly, her eyes filled with deep hatred.
When Yue Junqian saw her expression, not only did he not feel the slightest bit of pity, a trace of impatience appeared on his face.
Seeing that Yue Junqian was about to rush towards her with his sword at full force, Zhao Yanran immediately shouted to Yue Junxuan, "Could it be that you don't want the Bai?s Mansion's treasure map anymore?!"
Hearing Zhao Yanran say that, Yue Junqian's face immediately revealed a look of astonishment, then she immediately pulled back, stopping her sword.
"What did you just say!" Yue Junqian's face revealed an anxious expression, and said to Zhao Yanran.
Seeing his anxious expression, Zhao Yanran felt pain in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm.
Following that, a charming smile appeared on Zhao Yanran's face, and her expression was filled with gentleness.
She turned and walked towards Yue Junqian.
Yue Junqian saw that she had suddenly changed her attitude and he became suspicious. He then pointed his sword at her and shouted, "Stop, what are you trying to do?"
"Young master, are you really going to be so heartless to me? Even if you want to kill me, I will still wholeheartedly steal the treasure map for you.
Zhao Yanran purposely pretended to look extremely sad and said to Yue Junqian with tears and mucus all over his face.
As Yue Junqian looked at Zhao Yanran's sad appearance, a trace of disgust couldn't help but surface in his eyes.
However, when he heard Zhao Yanran mention the treasure map, his face had a face full of shrewdness.
"Yanran, the treasure map you mentioned just now, could it be the Bai?s Mansion's supreme treasure?!" As Yue Junqian said that, his eyes lit up.
"That's right, this is the map that the Crown Prince wanted Yanran to steal three years ago!" Zhao Yanran said to Yue Junqian with a smile.
Hearing Zhao Yanran's words, a trace of greed surfaced in Yue Junqian's eyes.
"Where's the map?!" Yue Junqian said anxiously.
"Young master, didn't you want to kill me? Why are you still unwilling to?!"
Zhao Yanran raised his eyes and looked at Yue Junqian with his burning gaze, then revealed a disdainful smile and said to him.
Hearing Zhao Yanran say that, Yue Junqian could not help but chuckle, and said: "Yanran, you have done a great deed this time, why would I kill you? I will reward you with this, quickly give me the treasure map!"
Yue Junqian changed his previous indifferent attitude, and said to Zhao Yanran with an excited face.
Hearing Yue Junqian's words, Zhao Yanran's heart stung.
"Young Master, that... Is Yanran still able to accompany you? "
As Zhao Yanran said that, he walked closer to Yue Junqian and looked at him deeply.
She then stretched out her hand and gently caressed his cheek.
"Young master, you have lost a lot of weight these days." Zhao Yanran said emotionally to Yue Junqian.
"Silly girl, what I did just now was just a moment of anger, could it be that you really want to take it to heart!"
Yue Junqian saw that Zhao Yanran's eyes still held feelings of nostalgia for him, and pretended to tell him.
"Heh heh... Young master, do you still not understand Yanran's intentions? Whether you kill me or not, I will give you the treasure map! "
As Zhao Yanran said this, he began to laugh bitterly.
A pair of affectionate eyes filled with tears.
Hearing her words, Yue Junqian's heart was moved, he then raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Yanran.
Seeing the infatuation in her eyes, a certain softness in his heart was touched.
However, what was left of his rationality told him that in order to achieve great things, he could not be soft-hearted in the slightest!
Zhao Yanran took out the treasure map from his chest and handed it over to him.
"This is the treasure map that Young Master has been yearning for. Yanran has now found it for you!" Zhao Yanran said to Yue Junqian with a light smile.
"Young master, you can make your move now!" As Zhao Yanran said that, he closed his eyes, waiting for death with a calm expression.
Seeing Zhao Yanran like this, Yue Junqian could not even move.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no reaction from Yue Junqian, Zhao Yanran then opened his eyes and looked at Yue Junqian.
A complex expression flashed past his eyes as he looked at Zhao Yanran.
"Could it be that you really don't even care about your life!" Yue Junqian asked Zhao Yanran with a look of disbelief.
"The ruler is like a blade of grass, while the concubine is like a boulder. The blade of grass is as tough as silk, and there is no way to change the shape of the rock!" Zhao Yanran chuckled, and said with a resolute expression.
Looking at Zhao Yanran's current state, Yue Junqian's heart was uncontrollably moved.
He kept the sword in his sheath and said to Zhao Yanran.
"Now that the Yue Mansion is no longer a safe place, quickly leave!" Yue Junqian said to Zhao Yanran.
Hearing Yue Junqian's words, Zhao Yanran's face immediately revealed a trace of anxiety.
"No, I'm not leaving. I want to stay by Young Lord's side!" Zhao Yanran pulled on Yue Junqian's sleeves, unwilling to let go.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Yue Junqian waved his hand, "Forget it, you can stay in the Palace."
Hearing what Yue Junqian said, Zhao Yanran's face suddenly lit up.
"Many thanks for the kindness, Young Lord. Yanran will definitely fulfill her duty and take good care of the Young Lord!" Zhao Yanran said to Yue Junqian excitedly.
Zhao Yanran said as she turned and left Yue Junqian's room. As she was walking out of the door, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and a gloomy smile appeared on her face.
"Heh heh... Yue Junqian, you forced my hand! " Zhao Yanran said with a cold smile.
Then, Zhao Yanran followed the map Bai Chenxuan gave him and found his way to the Devil Spirit King's courtyard.
Just as she was about to enter the courtyard, two generals from the Modu Legion stood in front of her with a cold expression on their faces.
"Who is it, who dares to barge into our Your Majesty's courtyard, do you not want to live!" The soldier shouted to Zhao Yanran coldly.
"I... I am the young master's woman, and am his future wife. In this entire Yue Mansion, what place do I have that I can't enter?! " Zhao Yanran roared at them.
"This ?" Hearing Zhao Yanran's words, the guards were all stunned, they did not know what to say.
"The young master specifically ordered me to deliver this to Miss Ah Yin." Zhao Yanran said to them.
"Alright, then come with us!"
The two Modu Legion soldiers then led Zhao Yanran to the yard, and walked towards the room that held Ah Yin.
"This is Miss Ah Yin's room. She hasn't eaten for a few days, please advise her properly." The soldier from the Modu Legion said to Zhao Yanran.
"Sure, open the door and let me in." Zhao Yanran said to them.
After which, the two Modu Legion soldiers walked forward and opened the door.
After the door opened, Zhao Yanran walked in.
When Ah Yin saw her, a trace of astonishment immediately surfaced on his face.
"You ? "Who are you? I've never seen you before, why are you here?" Ah Yin's face revealed a look of vigilance, and asked Zhao Yanran.
Zhao Yanran then raised his finger and placed it on his lips, and made a "hush" gesture.
After that, she walked up to Ning Xuemo and whispered, "Miss, I'm the person that the Eldest Young Master sent to save you. Don't be afraid!"
Hearing her words, Ah Yin heaved a sigh of relief.
"There are soldiers guarding this place. You cannot save me, so you should hurry up and leave!" Ah Yin said to Zhao Yanran worriedly.
"NO!" I'm not leaving! " Zhao Yanran's face instantly revealed a trace of determination.
"I've already promised Eldest Young Master, so I will definitely ask you to go out. Little miss, when it's time for Young Master tonight, I will come here to take you away. Take care of yourself." Zhao Yanran said to Ah Yin.
Without waiting for Ah Yin to reply, Zhao Yanran stood up and walked out of the room.
Seeing the food that she brought in, Ah Yin's eyes immediately reddened.
She had originally thought that Lin Yuan and the rest had already left the Golden Snow City, she never thought that they would still be staying in the Golden Snow City, in order to save her.
She then picked up the food and began to eat.
According to what Zhao Yanran knew, there was a secret passage in Yue Mansion that allowed one to escape to the temple.
Yue Junqian used this secret passage to keep in constant contact with her.
However, in Yue Junqian's room, no one would easily approach the secret pathway.
Zhao Yanran could only think of a way to make Yue Junqian leave.
After thinking for a long time, she came up with an idea.
"Young Lord!" Zhao Yanran walked into Yue Junqian's room.
"What happened?" Seeing Zhao Yanran's urgent expression, Yue Junqian could not help but frown and ask.
"Just now, the secret guards have come to report that they have already found Bai Chenxuan's whereabouts."
"Where are they!" Yue Junqian asked anxiously when he heard him.
"It's in the forest of the east city." Zhao Yanran lied to Yue Junqian.
