" Huh??"

Long Ming looked at the lady with wide eyes when he heard Jiang Wanxue calling.

" What? She is the second prince's wife?" Long Ming asked in shock.

" Well, Not really." Jiang Wanxue looked at him.

" Ahem, It's truly my fault for not introducing myself." The lady bowed.

" I am Qiu Ruoyou, wife of First Prince Qin Zhen. My father is the Sect Master of Eastern Sky Sect which is situated in the far most point of Eastern Province."

" I see… So it's Lady Qiu." Long Ming nodded. But inwardly, he frowned even more.

Qiu Ruoyou was the main wife of Prince Qin Zhen. So, naturally, her status in the Imperial Family should be much more than average members.

However, she was still hunted like this. This means something really went wrong in the Imperial Palace.

" Well, What should I do with you, Sister in Law?" Jiang Wanxue spoke in a cold voice.

" After all, You killed the advisor of First Prince, stole the valuable treasure map fragment of a Grand Heaven Ascension Realm Cultivator's Tomb?"

" What? What did you say?" Qiu Ruoyou's expression changed when she heard that.

" So… He really did that?"

" A great part of City Guards are under Qin Zhen. So, before the others could reach you, you will fall to their hands."

" I have already fallen." Qiu Ruoyou sighed bitterly. " If it wasn't for Young Master Long, I wouldn't be talking with you right here."

" So, What should I do, Sister in Law?" Jiang Wanxue spoke lightly as she sat on the chair.

" You are already declared as the traitor for the half of the family. Not to mention, it's not guaranteed if you can prove yourself innocent before getting killed."

" Is that so?" Qiu Ruoyou looked at Jiang Wanxue. " Well, If Second Prince wants, I can easily go back to my sect."

" You are talking like the Second Prince is not a member of the Imperial Family?"

" At least not the part who wants to hunt me down." Qiu Ruoyou looked at her.

" Well, Why don't you hand over the map to me? I think I might help you after I see it." Jiang Wanxue spoke in a cold voice.

" Would you believe me if I said I didn't steal it?" Qiu Ruoyou smiled lightly.

" No." Jiang Wanxue answered in a flat voice " Don't you think I don't know how cunning you are, Sister in Law."

" Oh my, I don't think intelligence can be called as cunningness. You are painting me in a bad light."

" Oh, can you just cut it out?" Jiang Wanxue snorted.

" And you! What the hell are you doing?!" Jiang Wanxue turned around and shouted at Long Ming, who was sitting on the side and drinking wine.

" Oh, No need to mind me, Please go ahead and bicker all you want." Long Ming waved his hands.

He wasn't joking either. Long Ming had zero intentions to get into the troubles of the Imperial Family. Not to mention, Qiu Ruoyou seemed to be deeply offended the First Prince Qin Zhen.

' I hope no one notices my involvement. Otherwise, I can't travel around with peace.' Long Ming thought inwardly.

" Long Ming! Are being for real?" Jiang Wanxue couldn't help but feel speechless at Long Ming's attitude.

" What?" Long Ming rolled his eyes. " As I informed you on the talisman, I brought her here. As for what to do, none of it is my concern."

" So, Are you backing away?" Jiang Wanxue looked at her. " Why are you so lazy and boring?"

" Miss, It's called not meddling in other people's business." Long Ming retorted.

" Hmph! I will deal with you later." Jiang Wanxue snorted as she looked at Qiu Ruoyou.

" So, Are you really telling the truth? You don't have the map?"

" I am really telling the truth." Qiu Ruoyou spoke in a mild voice." You might think that's the reason I am getting hunted down. However, It's a different matter."

" For example… Involvement of Qin Zhen with Rock Mermen Tribe and Grand Beast Sect of Southern Province?"

Jiang Wanxue's eyelid shrank when she heard that. " Are you telling..The truth?"

" I can't say for sure. However, I know something fishy is going on." Qiu Ruoyou replied.

" Therefore, I propose a trade." Qiu Rouyou looked at Jiang Wanxue. " I shall give you the little information about Qin Zhen and you must help me to clear my name."

" Well…This doesn't change anything." Jiang Wanxue looked at her. " Helping you would be very hard. And, If elder brother…"

" You don't need to worry about that much, Sister in Law." Qiu Ruoyou smiled. " Just wait for a day and two and I will manage to help myself. However, till then…You need to keep me safe."

" I… I shall see." Jiang Wanxue rubbed her forehead. " What do you say?"

" Why asking me?" Long Ming looked at her.

" Oh my, I thought the esteemed Young Master Long shall indulge himself in the Hundred Flower Palace tonight. So, Why not help to keep my Sistelaw here safe?" Jiang Wanxue spoke in a half mocking voice.

" Aiya, Miss Jiang really misunderstands me. How can I indulge myself with ordinary courtesean?" Long Ming shook his head in pity. " I only came here to enjoy music and dance."

" However, If Miss Jiang accompany me tonight for a deep and private dao discussion, I can consider about it."

" Yo-You!"

Jiang Wanxue's face turned red as she could understand the hidden implications of Long Ming.

" Pervert, If you dare to say something like that again, I will kill you." Jiang Wanxue snorted as she looked at him with angry gaze.

" Anyway, Just keep and eye on her. I can appreciate that you chose a good location to hide her. However, the eyes of Imperial Family is everywhere. So, Be cautious."

" What? No way!" Long Ming shouted. " I will NOT stay here!"

" Even if you are given extra rewards?" Jiang Wanxue looked at him.

" What is it?"

" Th-That's…Something I will tell tomorrow." Jiang Wanxue stammered as she turned around, leaving hastily.

" Remember! If you get caught, you will die!"

" Damn it!"

Long Ming cursed when he saw Jiang Wanxue escape right away.

" Well, I hope I am not burdening Young Master Long much." Qiu Ruoyou adjusted her regal garment as she took a seat. Her eyes were clear as she looked like a refined lady.

" The fragrance of the wine is the ever-changing seasons. Sometimes, spicy and robust, and sometimes frigid and refreshing." Qiu Ruoyou looked at the urn in Long Ming's hand.

" Is this the rumored Four Seasons True Wine?"

" Miss Qiu is very knowledgeable." Long Ming raised the crystal glass which was shining with the Four Seasons True Wine."

" But, I don't think a refined lady like Miss Qiu shall drink it."

" Who said?"

Long Ming paused when he heard Qiu Ruoyou's answer.

" Like tea, wine is also a drink. Drunkenness might cause one to lose etiquette. However, at this place…" Qiu Ruoyou smiled. " I don't have the fear to lose it."

" So, I shall be grateful if you pour this lady a cup of wine."

" Err…Sure." Long Ming was speechless as he poured him some wine.

Soon enough, she already drank three cups.

" Good! Such a good wine!" Qiu Ruoyou giggled. Her pearly teeth along with her tinkling laughter made the atmosphere much better.

" Young Master Long, I would like to ask you a question."

" Yes, Lady Qiu?"

" Will you sleep with me?"
