Jiang Xue couldn't help but sigh with emotion when she saw the two young men smiling wildly in front of her.

For the first time, she truly felt that Lu Qiong Shuang should be a vibrant tree growing in the rivers and lakes, rather than a flower planted in a high gate and deep courtyard.

The royal family may be good in the eyes of many people, but for Lu Qiongshuang, it is just endless restraint and bondage.

She should laugh so enthusiastically every day, drink heavily, and sing songs on horseback.

Jiang Xue secretly made a certain determination. She felt that she would stop Lu Qiongshuang's marriage no matter what.

"Then wait for me to come back and pick you up. Let's go back to the East China Sea." Zheng Run looked at Lu Qiongshuang seriously and said loudly.

"Waiting for my aunt, I will take you to explore the world together!" Lu Qiong raised her eyebrows and raised her chin high.

Jiang Xue saw a different emotion in the young man's eyes, but her mind suddenly flashed back to Jiang Qibin's unnatural and coquettish look when he asked her about Lu Qiongshuang.

Jiang Xue silently lamented for him in her heart, Xiao Jiang, it seems that you are a step too late after all.

The two turned around to leave. Lu Qiongshuang looked at the road in front of her and seemed to have a headache. She then looked back at Zheng Run, blinked aggrievedly and said: "Xiao Runzi, can you do me a favor -"

Seeing her expression, Zheng Run couldn't help but think of the time when she begged him to take the blame after getting into trouble in the East China Sea. He took a cautious step back and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Xue suddenly felt that Jiang Qibin's thoughts were not impossible for the time being.

Lu Qiongshuang rolled her eyes and said, "My cousin has been around the world for as long as I have. I can walk dozens of miles of mountain roads in a day, but my cousin may not be able to - you are good at Qinggong, can you carry my cousin on your back?"

Zheng Run looked at Jiang Xue and then at Lu Qiongshuang, dumbfounded and said: "I have no problem carrying you on my back; but carrying the fairy sister——"

"Why," Lu Qiongshuang said angrily, "My cousin is so slender and thin, is it possible that you can't carry her?"

"It's not that I can't carry it," Zheng Run said, almost crying but without tears, "Sister Fairy, she is a woman, and I am a man. Don't you know whether men and women can kiss each other? What's more, she is still a princess."

"Am I not a woman?" Lu Qiong's eyes widened.

"Can that be the same?" Zheng Run scratched his head and said, "You are my brother, the brother who died."

Jiang Xue felt in her heart that Jiang Qibin had a little more hope.

"Fuck you -" Lu Qiong Shuang took a few steps forward and was about to punch him, but Zheng Run dodged and stepped on the tree again.

"Calm down, there's nothing you can do!" Zheng Run cried like a ghost, "Promise not to hit me, I'll get some horses!"

"A horse?" Lu Qiong was overjoyed and said, "Then why don't you go quickly!"

"Then you promise not to hit me again!" Zheng Run clung to the tree trunk tightly and refused to let go.

"I know, I know!" Lu Qiongshuang shouted, "My aunt promises you! Go quickly!"

Zheng Run then let go of his hand holding the tree and said, "Please wait here for a moment and don't go too far!"

Then he flew away.

Jiang Xue found it a little funny when she saw the two of them pecking each other like chickens.

After confirming that Zheng Run had gone away, she pulled Lu Qiong to the side and stood there. After studying her expression for a moment, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with Zheng Run?"

Lu Qiong was already staring at her and felt nervous. After hearing this question, she was even more confused and said, "He is my brother. Didn't I tell you earlier?"

"Seriously?" Jiang Xue suddenly smiled and whispered: "Why do I feel that he treats you differently?"

"What's unusual?" Lu Qiongshuang asked with a frown. It took a long time to realize what Jiang Xue meant, and then she looked at Jiang Xue dumbfounded and said, "Cousin, what are you thinking about?!"

"Why am I just thinking wildly? You two behave so intimately that you don't have any scruples about male-female defense." Jiang Xue looked at her with probing eyes, "Moreover, he also said he would take you back to the East China Sea."

Lu Qiongshuang felt powerless for a moment, speechless and asking the sky.

"Then if you say that, I think Jing Ye is unusual for you!" Lu Qiongshuang retorted, "You rode in the same carriage with him! Just the two of you! No one is in it!"

Jiang Xue choked. Fortunately, Lu Qiongshuang didn't know about her several contacts with Jing Ye, otherwise she wouldn't be able to tell clearly.

"What about you," Jiang Xue said, "Why are you making fun of me? Don't forget that your cousin has a family now."

Jiang Xue stretched out her finger and poked her forehead.

Lu Qiongshuang sighed helplessly, walked aside, wiped the tree stumps on the roadside, pulled Jiang Xue to sit down, and began to talk.

"Xiao Runzi was picked up by my master and my uncle in the early years. Now he is practicing in Xishan. Let's call him the old Taoist priest," Lu Qiongshuang said. The baby had no father or mother, so the old Taoist priest saw how pitiful he was, so he took him in and raised him."

“The people in your sect—” Jiang Xue’s mouth twitched, “aren’t they all picked up?”

"That's not the case. My senior sister is not. Alas, none of this matters. The old Taoist priest has never been married and has never raised children, so he has always treated Xiao Runzi as a free rein. Earlier, the old Taoist priest had to go into seclusion. , he was entrusted to a farmer to raise him for several years, so he grew up mixed between the market and the Xishan Taoist Temple."

"He doesn't have any other hobbies, he just has an unusual interest in wealthy families and beautiful scenery - maybe the family he fostered when he was a child was poor, so he knew my identity and knew that I was going back to Jijing. He begged me to bring him with me. During these days in Jijing, he has been wandering around in various houses."

"Fortunately, he learned Qing Gong well, otherwise he would have been caught and broken several of his legs."

"No wonder he begged me to take him around the palace. Is that the reason?" Jiang Xue said thoughtfully, "Then what's going on with you two?"

"Not talented," Lu Qiong said with a smile. "Although he has the title of senior brother, he really doesn't want to make progress. Except for his great success in Qinggong, his other skills are mediocre. So after a few months of following my master, I can suppress him and beat him head on."

"I'm not talking about who of you beats whom." Jiang Xue said helplessly.

"Oh, I know what my cousin is worried about." Lu Qiong Shuang said, "But I promise you, it is absolutely impossible."

"Our sect is very thin. My master is doing better. He has three apprentices. My senior sister, Jing Ye and I are all geniuses." She said with a smile, "But my master is just a young master." Junzi was raised very carelessly, and spent most of his time following my master. So after I joined the master, I learned skills with him."

"Xiao Runzi and I have the same temperament. We both like to do chivalry, ride horses and sing songs——"

"I think they are fighting cocks and lackeys, doing whatever they want." Jiang Xue said.

Lu Qiongshuang gave an awkward "uh" and said, "Not entirely...anyway, the two of us can always play together, and over time, we have become as close as brothers."

"He said you were kind to him, what kind of kindness was it?" Jiang Xue asked.

"That's too much," Lu Qiongshuang shook his head and said: "He went to gamble and his money was withheld, but I redeemed it; he went to be punished by an old Taoist priest to copy scriptures, and I helped him copy them; he always went to make a fortune at night. Master found out about his house and locked him up, but I secretly released him. He was not good at internal skills and mental skills and he almost became a demon after blindly practicing it. I went to steal Master’s thousand-year-old snow lotus and saved it——"

"He was also kidnapped. I don't know why. This kid refused to tell whether he was alive or dead. I rescued him single-handedly without telling the master that time."

Jiang Xue was amazed when she heard this, and said: "Then he is a little lucky to be able to live such a safe life."

"So that day my cousin said she needed manpower, and I thought that he happened to be in Jijing, so I dared to call him to help."

"Xiao Runzi is a very nice person, and he always repays his kindness. Whenever I have any difficulties in the past two years, he will find a way to help me. That's why I can safely introduce him to my cousin."

"But the love between a man and a woman -" Lu Qiong rolled his eyes and said, "That's really not true. We were so good in the East China Sea that we could wear the same pair of trousers. Which good man's love for his concubine is like this?"
