Mo Chenran looked at the silent figure and knew that he must be harbouring many doubts, but he simply smiled and said, "I mean no harm, merely paying a visit and hoping to borrow your Crown Princess Consort briefly."
Pei Huaian realized that this man was not here for him.
"You dare!"
Pei Huaian reached out to grab the man before him, but Mo Chenran, prepared in advance, lightly tapped his foot and leaped up, landing on the roof of the dilapidated temple.
"Your Highness Crown Prince, rest assured, your Crown Princess Consort will be returned to you unharmed before the grand wedding."
Having said that, he made a graceful turn and left.
Pei Huaian remembered what Shao He had said and ran back quickly, hoping it was still in time.
Elsewhere, Shao He had just entered the woods when she sensed something was amiss, as did Ah Mo.
"Doctor Shao, it seems we're ambushed."
Ah Mo lowered his voice, watching the surrounding cautiously.
