The fate of Bai Yue'er was hence decided. Even if the younger General Bai was against it, he dared not go against this cultivator, and he waved his hands to have some of his soldiers appear to drag her away.

Blood had splattered all over the ground, and a trail of blood followed Bai Yue'er out the hall. Everyone within the hall was shocked upon witnessing such a scene; they had never thought that they would encounter such a dangerous thing when leaving their homes that day.

Bai Rouyun was feeling happy to see Li Moyun angry on her behalf. It was a strange feeling, and it was so fleeting that she did not understand it properly.

Seeing that the branch manager was busy getting people to clean the floor, Bai Rouyun decided to leave the Thousand Treasure Pavilion.

She had already gotten what she had aimed for, so staying would be useless.

Just as she was about to leave, she felt a strong arm snake around her waist, pressing her into an embrace. The familiar sandalwood scent assaulted her senses, and she knew that it was Li Moyun, who was hugging her.

"My dear, you seem to have caused a lot of trouble today," he said with a low voice, but it was loud enough for the Crown Prince and the Princess to hear, "see how I punish you when we get home."

Although he said this, his voice was filled with helplessness, and a man like the Crown Prince, who had plenty of concubines himself, was suddenly aware that the kind of punishment could not be anything innocent.

His hands clenched into fists, and he felt a strange sense of hostility against the cultivator who had appeared, proclaiming to be this woman's husband.

At the same time, a strange emptiness flooded his heart. This woman was already taken, but a bit of him refused to give up. Even if she was not willing to support him, and even if all her power came from her husband, he wanted her to be part of his harem.

Fortunately, he was very logical. It was not feasible to think that she would leave her magnificent husband for him.

It was not only the Crown Prince, who was feeling at a loss, but the Princess was also feeling uncomfortable. She had a strange hostility towards the strong cultivator, but more than anything, she was full of hatred towards Bai Rouyun. Who was she to be entitled to such pampering, and to have even the Thousand Treasure Pavilion heed her every order? Even she, as a princess, was not that spoiled!

Bai Rouyun was feeling her ears flush red from the words Li Moyun said, but she assumed that it was just an act he was putting on to make the Crown Prince leave her alone. Still, such suggestive words were truly quite embarrassing.

"Little Chu, you clean up here, I don't want anyone to know that we have been here."

Mo Chu bowed deeply before he straightened his back and looked at everyone present. "Swear an oath to the heavens that you will never say what happened today," he said with a sinister grin on his face.

Many were instantly horrified and swore an oath, but a few tried sneaking away.

A blue gleam flashed in the air, and the scent of blood wafted in the air again. Those who had tried to escape now had their heads separated from their necks.

There was no warning and no injuries, it was a straight out massacre, and when the other people within the hall saw this, they all paled. Moments later, everyone had sworn the oath.

Watching with satisfaction, Mo Chu exited the Pavilion casually, not at all caring for the chaos he had caused.

While Mo Chu was dealing with this, Li Moyun had dragged Bai Rouyun into an exquisite carriage.

It was not the carriage that Prince Yun usually used; this one was many times more luxurious.

Bai Rouyun looked out the windows, oblivious to the negative emotions swirling within the heart of Li Moyun.

When he had been told that she had left, he was filled with discomfort, even more so when he realized that she had not brought anyone with her.

If something happened to her, he was not sure how he would react. Fortunately, Mo Chu had found her fast, but just the thought of her possible outcome left a lingering fear in his heart.

His black eyes were getting darker and darker; his mood swirling out of control.

Why did this little girl have so much control over his emotions? He had always been ruthless, cold, and callous. Now though, he was eager to give everything to the girl just to see her smile; he was willing to do anything in the world to ensure her safety.

In fact, there was nothing he'd rather do than to lock her up in his palace and ensure that she could never leave. Having only him seeing her splendor and keeping her safe.

But he knew his thought process was twisted. He knew that she was a phoenix that would soar in the sky; he could not cut her wings and keep her by his side with force.

But looking at her, his mood was turbulent. He was worried that she would encounter problems before she was even strong enough to protect herself. He could not accept it.

"So, have you thought about how to explain yourself to me?" Li Moyun suppressed his unease and looked at Bai Rouyun with deep and unfathomable eyes.

Bai Rouyun scratched her head, feeling slightly guilty. Although she could not sense all the feelings of Li Moyun, she was sure that he had been worried about her.

Worrying him was never her intention, so she could not help but feel slightly guilty.
