A complete change of one's ways

  "Mu Bai, come with me." Yan'er calmed down and finally broke the silence.

  "What?! Ba Li Mu Bai stared at Qian Ru, he didn't dare to believe the profound implication of Qian Ru's words, could it be that she wanted him to collude with Guan Chang Hai?

  "I'm serious." Yan'er lifted her head, she couldn't do without Baili Moyu, this boy had helped her too much. With Baili Moyu around, she would be well-informed about the situation with Pan Yueyang, and she wouldn't have to guard against Guan Canghai either. After all, this child wasn't Guan Canghai's, if one day things were exposed, she could still rely on Baili Moyu. How could Yan'er give up Baili Moyu?

  "I never thought it would be you! You're the first traitor!" Baili Muru's fists were clenched, his knuckles turning white.

  "You go out first, I want to have a good talk with Mu Bai." Yan'er didn't look at Guan Canghai, actually it was because of her own guilty conscience.

  Guanchanghai was quite surprised that Yaner would leave with Baili Muxue. If he could get this person under his command, it would be a huge gain. Guanchanghai nodded and turned around to walk out gracefully.

  Baili Murong hurriedly arrived at Guan Canghai, who had really walked far away. He stared incredulously at Yan'er: "What's wrong with you? You like Shixiong, so why do you have to leave immediately when he appears?"

  "Shh, Mu Bai." Yan'er was afraid of being heard by the Azure Sea, and immediately covered Mu Bai's mouth with her hand.

  A hundred miles away, Mu Bai pulled down his rough hand from Xiao Yan's face: "He has gone far away and can't hear."

  Her face finally relaxed and she sat back on the stool: "Mu Bai, for the sake of the child."

  "What is it for the sake of the child? For the sake of the child, you can betray your sworn brother and let his child recognize a thief as their father?" Baili Muru looked at Yan's belly again: "Did he see that you're pregnant and want to use the child as leverage?"

  "Mu Bai." Yan'er didn't know how to explain, she couldn't mention the thing with Guan Canghai, on one hand she had to guarantee her own innocence, on the other hand she also had to convince Baili Mu Bai to believe in her.

  "Mubai, I know that Tianfeng and Panlong are about to go to war. I won't let this child get hurt in any way. My plan is to leave with Guanhai because I want to help Yuanyang." Yan'er didn't know how to continue, so she stopped talking and looked at Baili Mubai's reaction.

  Baili Mowei trusted Yan'er very much, to the point of blind trust. He nodded seriously, and Yan'er's words were not unreasonable: "But Yan'er, you will be in great danger. You're putting yourself in the enemy's camp. Do you know what would happen if you made a mistake..."

  "So you'll come with me." Yan'er hastily added, seeing that Mu Bai had already believed her, the huge rock in Yan'er's heart finally slightly lifted.

  "I won't go." Baili Murong insisted on her own point of view.

  "Mu Bai, if you want to resolve the crisis in Panlong Kingdom, someone needs to infiltrate the enemy's camp and report any movements of Tian Feng to Yue Yang. Now, Guan Hai is very interested in me, he wants me by his side. Since I'm pregnant, I can naturally guarantee my chastity until the child is born." Yan'er closed her eyes and opened them again, staring steadily at Bai Mu: "I need you, once the child is born, you must take the child and leave Guan Hai quickly. Only you can do this, understand?" Yan'er had never known that speaking nonsense could be so effortless, she was even impressed with herself.

  "Are you determined to devote yourself to Guan Canghai?" Baili Muru looked at Yan'er coldly.

  "Yes." Yan'er firmly gazed back at Baili Mengyue.

  "Then I'll go kill him." Baili Murong also learned from Guan Canghai, with a charming and evil smile on his face, making Yan Er somewhat unrecognizable to the Baili Murong in front of her.

  "Then go, as long as you can solve the problem of Guan Cang Hai today, in the future, the people of Pan Long Kingdom will worship you as a hero, erect a monument for you, and sing your praises." Yan Er's expression was unexpectedly cold.

  "Face." Bai Li Muru couldn't believe that Yaner had changed into a completely different woman. The former her was gentle and obedient, like a little cat trying to please its master. Now, she was sharp-tongued and always ready to lash out with her claws, leaving people's faces covered in scars.

  "Mu Bai, from the moment I met Pan Yueyang, you've seen it all. I won't comment on what kind of person he is, but his weakness and incompetence in dealing with me are clear to you too. Yet, I've always followed and trusted Yueyang, even now. Although I'm currently in Sai State and can't be by his side to help him, it's because I have him in my heart that I want to follow Can Hai. At this moment, I'm already a broken person; if I don't leave today, I'll be stuck in Sai State as a slave for the rest of my life, wearing a veil forever! When Pan Long and Tian Feng nations go to war, you'll definitely go to the military camp and won't have time to take care of me. Do you want me to wander around with your brother's child, unsure of our fate?!" Yan'er expressed her selfish thoughts, yes, she didn't want to live for others anymore; she couldn't let fate control her life. To survive, to live better, people must climb up.

  Bairi Muru looked at Yan'er for a long time without speaking, his eyes fixed on her face without blinking. Yan'er felt a bit guilty under his gaze and got up to tidy up the bundle she had placed on the kang. It was just an old worn-out cotton-padded jacket and some spare clothes inside. Yan'er looked at these meager belongings of hers and suddenly threw them at Bairi Muru's feet: "You take a look yourself, this is all I have. If I don't leave today, I'll spend the rest of my life like this. Even if Moyang still loves me, in three or five years, when he sees me again, will he still be delighted to see this beggar-like woman?"

  "For wealth and glory." Baili Mengyue looked at her with disdain.

  "For national peace and people's safety."

  Baili Murong bent down to pick up the clothes on the ground, one by one, and put them into her bag: "A good saying, national peace and people's safety, let's go."

  I didn't expect that these four words were what made Bai Li Mu finally compromise - a country at peace and its people content.

  "Hmph, they've all left, what's the use of these coarse clothes?" Baili Muru thought for a moment before directly throwing down the bundle.

  Her face was shocked and delighted at Bai Li's transformation, and she felt a little dazed.

  "Yan'er, let's go!" Baili Muru grabbed Yan'er's hand and headed out. With his profound martial arts skills, he quickly sensed the direction of Guan Canghai's internal energy aura. He stretched out his hand to pick up Yan'er: "Hold on tight."

  Two people leaped in mid-air, watching the scenery at the edge of the cliff. Turning back to see Baili Mengyue embracing her face, she felt a bit uncomfortable, but thinking about it, what else could this pregnant woman do but hold onto her while flying together?

  "Let's find a place to rest first." Guan Canghai looked up and down at Yaner, saying this to her.

  "I'm leaving, what about this place?" Yan'er looked at the horse farm. If a big living person like her suddenly disappeared and was transmitted to the imperial city, it would inevitably be another storm.

  "After I'm done, let's leave first." Guan Canghai was notorious for his ruthlessness and walked ahead, turning back to glance at Yan'er and Baili Muru, then tore off the cloth covering Yan'er's face.

  At night, a big fire broke out in the horse farm, burning down the thatched hut. People were relieved to find that only two women lived there and they themselves had not been affected. After the fire was extinguished, apart from many war horses bred for the Panlong Kingdom being injured, a female corpse was discovered. The corpse was found dead in a prone position, with half of her face scorched by the fire, while the other side was spared because it was pressed against the ground. The people, holding back strong nausea, lifted the body and were shocked to see the character "slave" on the left cheek. There was also a piece of charred cloth covering her face.

  "Sulan, come and take a look. I reckon this is the woman who was disfigured." A sturdy man turned over the corpse, shaking his head repeatedly, his voice sounding strange as he covered his nose.

  Su Lan hastily ran over and took a casual glance at the corpse on the ground: "Yes, yes, it's her. Bury her."

  "This was fine, how did it suddenly catch fire." Li looked at the ruins, his sharp eyes gleaming with intelligence.

  "Is anyone else hurt?" The constable looked at Li Zongguan.

  "There lived two women here, both allocated by Su Lan, one was mute, the other..." Li Zongguan pointed to the corpse on the ground.

  "What's wrong with you, that silly mute, he's always been honest at the stable, and this newcomer has only been here for half a year, I don't know the specific situation either." Su Lan unhappily patted the dust off her body.

  "Has that mute found the body?" Li thought this wasn't just an accidental drowning case.

  "No." The onlookers helping to clean up the scene shook their heads: "We only saw a woman's corpse, didn't see anyone else."

  "Isn't it obvious? I saw that wild flower pretending to be mute, and once I secretly saw her talking to herself in a water bucket." A slave squatting on the ground accused.

  "What did you say? Wildflowers can talk?" Everyone stared at the slave in astonishment.

  The matter was settled with a single sentence from the slave, and soon the official confirmed the fact that Ye Hua had set fire to escape. Yan'er's death was considered an accidental injury, but since it was just a slave who died, it wouldn't cause any big waves.

  Her face was refreshed after taking a comfortable bath in the inn, and she felt much cooler. She picked up the scented cream and applied some to her hand, it had been a long time since she last used these things.

  She casually picked up the clothes that had been changed in front of the screen, although they were not as luxurious as those she wore when she was in the imperial city, but this fabric was also something that only wealthy families could afford to wear. When she was in Suzhou Prefecture before, most of her dresses were also made of this fabric. Yan'er casually tied up her long hair behind her back and slowly opened the door.

  Guan Canghai and Bai Limo were already downstairs at the inn, ordering food and waiting for Yan'er.

  When Yan'er appeared in front of Guan Canghai and Baili Muxue, the two people were stunned at the same time. Yan'er was wearing a lotus-colored dress prepared by Guan Canghai, which showed a sense of nobility just from its color. Her hair bun was still slightly damp, and she had casually tied it up. At this moment, several strands of mischievous hair slipped out of her hair bun and swayed back and forth on Yan'er's neck as she walked, interpreting the various charms of a woman.

  "What's wrong with you?" Her face was flushed and she smiled, covering her sun-tanned skin with a layer of rouge. She sat down first, stroking her belly, secretly laughing to herself, feeling reborn at this moment.
