She pursed her lips, looking like she had been wronged, and no one knew what was on her mind.

Now that she was in such a pitiful state, it had left these grown men looking at each other awkwardly, at a loss as to what they should do. The teasing faces from earlier were gone in an instant.

“I said I’ll read three people’s fortunes. There are still two left.” Xie Qiao composed herself as she continued.

Zhao Xuanjing thought this lady was pretty interesting.

Especially when she was acting all pitiful. She seemed rather seductive at that time.

For some reason he could not fathom, he casually reached out and pushed his own imperial bodyguards aside.

She continued to read fortunes.

“You have the look of someone who will aid the emperor. But somehow this trait isn’t that prominent. There’s only a faint inclination toward that look. It might be a hidden gift, but there will come a day where you will shine bright,” Xie Qiao said briefly.

It was obvious that this person was fairly well off. It would not be enough for her to only say that he was wealthy and smart.

Just as Xie Qiao said this, the imperial bodyguard immediately turned back and shot a look at Zhao Xuanjing.

Zhao Xuanjing was a little surprised.

“This is the last one. I’ll see if you will have a smooth journey, alright?” Xie Qiao said.

As she said this, Xie Qiao took out a tortoiseshell and three copper coins. “Clang, clang, clang.” She shook the coins. After a few rounds, she tapped her fingers and mumbled as she calculated.

It certainly seemed like she was scaring people with the act.

“You wouldn’t understand if I were to go deep into the topic.” After a while, Xie Qiao packed her things and said, “you lot are not allowed to leave the forest before 11 in the morning. Otherwise, misfortune will befall all of you. ”

Zhao Xuanjing’s eyes were dark. No one knew what he was thinking about.

“Send her to court tomorrow morning.” His words rang, simple and clear.

It did not matter if she was accurate or not. It was too dangerous for a lady to be out in the wilderness at such an ungodly hour. She needed to be taught a lesson.

Then only would she learn.

Xie Qiao was speechless as she cocked an eyebrow.

This was definitely not the first time someone had threatened her to send her to court. She was not the least bit afraid.

Since she would only be sent to court tomorrow, then she should rest well tonight. After digging the ground for so long, her limbs were all sore now.

Xie Qiao was easily content with what she had. She headed over and curled up in a random corner in the tent. Soon she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Outside, The imperial bodyguard captain looked at Qin Zhi and asked, “Do you want to write home to ask about this?”

“Mr. Zhou, did you really really believe this girl’s words?” Qin Zhi laughed. “Of all my years, don’t I know my own father well enough? It would be more believable to say that I’ll die from falling into a river, but falling down a well? We’ve been out in the wilderness all day lately. Where are we to find wells? ”

This maiden was pretty young, but she lied like breathing.

She did not look half bad, but how could she proclaim herself as a half-immortal?

“Don’t you think… that when she said about aiding the emperor…” Imperial Bodyguard Zhou lightly frowned.

“It does sound a bit scary.” Qin Zhi nodded. “But it’s most probably because this girl hasn’t seen the world yet. Just think about it. Within our ranks, except for the young master, you are the most intimidating one. Of course she would say pleasant words to flatter you.”

Now when he put it that way, it made perfect sense.

Zhao Xuanjing did not care whether she was spitting nonsense.

Seeing that Xie Qiao was young, he did not tie her up. After they sent her to court tomorrow, she would learn her lesson and be a good person. She would know that out in the wilderness, there were many “predators” like him lurking out there.

The next morning, before the sun was up, they woke up and left.

Xie Qiao did not stop them either.

What will happen, will happen. It was not like she could rush to that person and hug his legs to stop him from taking another step.

This forest had been rather big in the past, but after they found a jade mine, it started to shrink bit by bit. It was only that these parts had slightly nicer views, but after the forest...

There were bare hills everywhere.

If their party wanted to move forward, then they would have to go over that bump up front that was an abandoned mine.

There were only patches of wilted greenery, and the ground was covered in stones. Hill upon hill came up one after another like rolling waves. Even though they were not tempestuous, they were still a melancholic sight to see.
