“Master, are you in such a hurry to leave because you are worried about this?” Qingzhu glanced at the dark mass of commoners chasing after them.

Qi Yue slightly curved her lips into a smile.

“The common folk are most sincere, which shows that the Western Chu royal family’s luck has run out.”

Zhao Chong looked puzzled.

“Master, I still don’t understand why you treated the Western Chu Emperor. Wouldn’t it be better if he died?”

As someone with experience, Qingzhu immediately answered the question.

Zhao Chong nodded repeatedly after hearing it.

“Master is wise. How did I not think of this? A battle for the throne between brothers is the best strategy to weaken Western Chu.”

Qingzhu looked at him with dissatisfaction.

“If you understood, could you not be the master yourself?”

Zhao Chong glared back at him.

“What nonsense are you talking about, the master is right here!”

Qi Yue slightly smiled, stopping the argument between the two.

“Remember these words, the most solid fortress is often breached from within. I can see the bond between you brothers, but argue too much, and you may end up blushing in front of others, giving them an opportunity to exploit…”

Upon hearing this, the two men were stunned for a moment, immediately understanding Qi Yue’s meaning.

“Master, rest assured, I will not let anyone exploit an opportunity!”

“Master, rest assured, I will not let anyone exploit an opportunity!”

“Good, I trust you.” Qi Yue lifted her riding crop, “Let’s go, we must meet up with Zhao Tai before the sun sets!”

“Yes, master.”

A trail of dust rose on the official road, quickly disappearing in the distance.

At 5-7 PM, the three of them arrived at the mouth of the river, where Zhao Tai and two others had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Qi Yue arrive, the three immediately came forward to greet her.

“Master, I have arranged for the Liu Family guards to leave first. It’s getting late, shall we head to Nanyue immediately?”

“Rest for a moment, then we will leave.” Qi Yue said, glancing at the official road leading to Yindu.

Understanding her, Qingzhu asked a question.

“Master, are you waiting for Qin Zhongqi?”

Qi Yue slightly knitted her brows.

“Do you think he won’t come?”

“He might have had second thoughts…”

Before Qingzhu could finish, they heard the urgent sound of hooves approaching the river mouth.

“…He’s here.” Qi Yue smiled faintly.

Qin Zhongqi arrived before them, dismounted from his horse, and from a distance, he was already laughing so much he was drooling.

“Miss Qi, I haven’t come too late, have I?”

Qi Yue narrowed her eyes.

“Prince Qi comes to see me off, how could Qi Yue claim you are late?”

Qin Zhongqi waved his hand, and his attendant immediately presented a box.

“Miss Qi, this is a parting gift from me, please accept it with a smile.”

Qingzhu took it and immediately opened it.

Inside the box was a rolled-up map of Western Chu, intricately depicting the border passes, mountains, and cities.

“Miss Qi, I don’t ask for much, just that these people can live and work in peace, no longer enduring the hardships of war. I hope Miss Qi can show mercy.”

Qin Zhongqi said, bowing deeply, his voice filled with earnestness.

Qi Yue narrowed her eyes.

She had misjudged Qin Zhongqi.

This man had actually fully grasped the intentions she and Zhao Xiyan had.

Could it be that he was the person in the world who understood her and Zhao Xiyan the most?

She feigned a cold huff, her voice cooling a few degrees.

“What are you saying, Prince Qi? The one who wanted a four-nation alliance and instigated war was your Western Chu, wasn’t it?”

Qin Zhongqi waved his hands repeatedly.

“That was the dream of the Emperor and King Yan all along, but I know that war will only lead Western Chu to its ultimate ruin. If heaven had not brought forth Zhao Xiyan and Miss Qi, perhaps the end would’ve been delayed, but now…”

At this point, he hesitated for a moment, then suddenly shifted the conversation to speak of his mother.

The gist was that his own mother was a foreign woman. Back in the day, the Western Chu Emperor had annihilated her maternal tribe and took her into the palace. Later, he was born, but his mother had always been melancholic and had passed away from illness at the age of thirty.

Because of this incident, he deeply hated war.

Qin Zhongqi stated that in order to protect the people of Western Chu and to end wars forever, he was willing to offer the entire Western Chu Kingdom upon ascending to power.

Qi Yue doubted whether she was witnessing a saintly figure.

The reason she could sympathize with the hardships of the people was that she had lived through two lifetimes and knew well the struggles of the common folk throughout thousands of years of civilization’s inheritance.

But this Qin Zhongqi, young as he was, posessed profound insights.

Was he like a great sage such as Sakyamuni, regarding imperial power as trivial, wholeheartedly serving the people, and not caring about personal reputation or life and death?

She looked at Qin Zhongyi suspiciously, only to find that he was completely different from the person who had argued with the princes including Qin Zhongyu in the Penglai Pavilion that night.

He had the aura of a holy Buddha, a face filled with compassion.

Qi Yue felt a slight stirring in her heart.

Did such people really exist in the world? And she had encountered one?

She reached out to close the box containing the map and pushed it back to Qin Zhongqi.

“Prince Qi, I am impressed by your magnanimity, but… no need for this map…”

Qin Zhongqi was taken aback, and immediately returned the gesture.

“Then, I thank you, Miss Qi.”

Qi Yue did not say more and returned the courtesy.

“Farewell for today, until we meet again.”

Qingzhu and the others were still puzzled why Qi Yue didn’t take the map, which represented the lands of Western Chu, when they saw the horses suddenly disappear.

Immediately following, the air around them began to swirl, and suddenly a large bird-shaped object appeared on the riverbank in front of them.

“Master…”

Zhao Chong looked at Qin Zhongqi’s dumbfounded face, unsure whether to kill him.

“Zhao Chong, let’s go.”

Hearing Qi Yue’s call, the equally stunned Qingzhu and the others hurried up the dangling ladder.

Soon the airplane’s cabin door closed, and after a minute, the airplane taxied on the broad river surface for a stretch, then suddenly shot upwards and soared into the sky.

Only when the silver behemoth shrank to a tiny black dot and disappeared did Qin Zhongqi vigorously rub his eyes.

“I was not mistaken, indeed, the one to unify the Qiongzhou Continent has already appeared.”

His attendants trembled with apprehension.

“Is Miss Qi the one the prince is referring to?”

Qin Zhongqi, with a grave expression, glanced at the empty sky and gently instructed.

“Remember, you saw nothing just now.”

The attendant nodded vigorously.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

On the airplane, Qi Yue was answering the persistent questions of Qingzhu and the others.

“Master, why didn’t you take the map? It represents the territory of Western Chu!”

“Just a mere map, it represents nothing.”

“Does that mean, Master, that Qin Zhongqi was insincere?”

“Hard to say. He’s a very complicated person, and we need to pay close attention to him. Also, have someone thoroughly investigate all of Qin Zhongqi’s whereabouts, big or small, including his childhood experiences. Some things need further verification.”

“Yes, Master. As soon as the airplane lands, I will get right on it,” Qingzhu replied, then quickly asked another question.

“Master, why did you reveal your powers in front of Qin Zhongqi? What if he tells others…”

Qi Yue smiled faintly.

“He won’t. He’s a clever man. After all, he handed over the map of Western Chu.”

Qingzhu thought for a moment and then seemed to understand.

“Was it to intimidate, Master?”

“Yes,” Qi Yue nodded, “he has hidden under the Western Chu Emperor and Qin Zhongyu for many years, with inscrutable intentions. If his words today were sincere, then from today onwards, he will be even more devoted. If he wanted to use our hands to gain power and then turn his back on us, he will also think twice after today. In either case, he will not speak lightly of what he saw.”

Upon hearing this, Qingzhu and the others nodded in realization, but they were still a bit worried.

“We promised the Marquis to protect your secret well, we’re just afraid…”

Qi Yue laughed, “Don’t worry, I will speak to your Marquis later.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Qi Yue no longer spoke. She leaned back in her chair, her gaze drifting to the blue sky outside the window.

When busy, she could not think of him, but as soon as she had a moment’s rest, the image of Zhao Xiyan filled her thoughts.

Having parted for just a few days, it felt like years had passed.

“Master, do you want to tell him about your trip to Nanyue?”
