"Forever alone?!"

Jiang Yueming glanced at Ye Mo helplessly, his gaze inadvertently falling on her round white shirt, which, even covered by white clouds, could not hide its three-dimensional fullness.

A breathtakingly white and tender image gradually became clear in his mind. He didn't know why this was happening. Perhaps the springtime feeling when he first saw Ye Mo pounce on him was deeply etched in his mind.

However, he also felt a strange sense of guilt. After all, she was a girl, and staring at her like that always made him feel a little creepy.

"Ahem, so be it, I'm destined to be single." Jiang Yueming coughed twice, bent down and put the cleaned dagger back into his boot.

This dagger was also made by him secretly stealing money from Jiang Hui. In his previous life, he was a special forces soldier, and his use of short blades was superb. Otherwise, how could he have ended Zhang Jin's life in an instant?

If it were anyone else, it would be absolutely impossible to slit Zhang Jin's throat the instant he released the arrow, nor would it be possible to deflect the arrow off course and protect Ye Mo from harm.

Whether killing Zhang Jin or ambushing Zhang Yuan, Jiang Yueming used a method of killing with a single blow. The former was a throat slit and the latter a heart pierced. These actions seemed simple and easy, but in fact they required a great deal of strength and timing.

Of course, these were nothing to Jiang Yueming, who came from a military family; he had many other skills to his name.

"Jiang Yueming, come quickly and lend a hand!"

Ye Mo clearly didn't care about what Jiang Yueming had said before, and was only concerned about Zhang Taidao's life. However, when she realized that she couldn't carry Zhang Taidao by herself, she naturally thought of Jiang Yueming.

Jiang Yueming glanced at Ye Mo, who looked exhausted, stepped forward and took Zhang Taidao's body, helping him to a tree.

Upon reaching the ancient tree, Ye Moling gently peeled away the blood-stained armor on Zhang Taidao's body with her delicate fingers, then opened a yellow medicine pouch and slowly sprinkled the tiny, star-like powder onto his bloody wounds.

"Hey, how did you know there was danger?" Ye Mo asked curiously while applying the medicine.

He was referring to Jiang Yueming's initial refusal to let her go forward to save people, but how could he be so sure that there were pursuers behind Zhang Taidao?

Doubt welled up in her heart.

Jiang Yueming watched Ye Mo's movements with his dark eyes to prevent her from making a mistake when applying the medicine, and casually said, "It's blood on his knife."

"Blood on the knife?" Ye Mo was still puzzled. She paused her movements and turned to look at Jiang Yueming.

"Be careful with the medicine," Jiang Yueming pointed to the powder about to fall from Ye Moyu's hand, and said, "Look, the blood on his armor is dark red, but the blood on the tip of his knife is fresh. This means he is still being chased."

"His wounds were so severe; if he had already dealt with the pursuers, there shouldn't be fresh blood on his knife."

"Mmm," Ye Mo nodded obediently, then applied the medicine powder and bandaged the wound simply. Her bright eyes curved into a smile as she said, "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."

"Haha, that's for sure." Faced with Ye Mo's praise, Jiang Yueming showed no sign of modesty.

"You saw everything back at the inn, didn't you?" Ye Mo suddenly stepped forward and leaned close to Jiang Yueming, tilting her head slightly and smiling faintly. The smile subtly revealed a hint of coquettishness and an unknown coldness.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueming's face stiffened instantly, and he looked as if he was about to cough: "Ahem, the sage once said that one should not look at what is improper. As a Confucian scholar, I would naturally not do such a filthy thing."

"Oh, is that so~" Ye Mo's voice suddenly became softer, and the coldness in her previous smile gradually faded away, replaced by affection and tenderness.

She took a few small steps back, her beautiful eyes seemingly holding endless allure. She gently placed a few slender fingers on her heart and slowly unbuttoned the collar of her white shirt, instantly revealing her fair and delicate collarbone.

Jiang Yueming's pupils dilated suddenly, and he unconsciously took a deep breath. His face flushed a rare red. The beauty in his eyes seemed to want to continue, but he finally couldn't help but speak up: "Alright, alright, you win. I admit I saw everything."

When he said those words, he suddenly felt like slapping himself hard. How could he admit to something like that?

If he admits it, wouldn't that be like giving her leverage over him? That would make him owe Ye Mo a lot more, and he could find all sorts of excuses to avoid eating her food in the future.

That means she could use this against him at any time, which was a huge miscalculation!

"Hehe~" Ye Mo put her collar back on, a slight smile on her red lips, clearly she had achieved her goal.

However, it wasn't what Jiang Yueming thought. She just wanted to tease him. She didn't know why, but she always felt that the relationship between the boy in front of her was as intimate as a deep and long-standing love that had lasted for thousands of years, even more profound and enduring than the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting on the Magpie Bridge.

That's why she acted that way in front of Jiang Yueming, but every time she recalled what she had done for him, she felt very shy!

Actually, she was conflicted. She wanted to flirt with him, but she was too shy and worried that he might think she was a promiscuous woman.

But when it came to crucial moments, she couldn't help but go for it again.

"Alright, alright, let's stop here for now." Ye Mo turned around so that Jiang Yueming wouldn't see the blush on her face, forcefully maintaining the situation and firmly grasping the initiative.

"Hmm? This time??" Jiang Yueming accurately grasped the key words and couldn't help but swallow.

He will have many more days to spend with Ye Mo in the future. She said this time, does that mean there will be more in the future?

Feed, feed...

Does she never look in the mirror? She's so alluring and knows how to flirt. Tell me, which man in this world could resist her?

Even an eighty-year-old would be completely captivated by you, let alone this time?

Jiang Yueming can tolerate this time, but whether she can tolerate it next time is an absolute mystery!

"Hey, you're awake? How are you feeling?"

Ye Mo's beautiful eyes suddenly caught sight of Zhang Taidao's tired eyes slowly opening under the tree, and she quickly changed the subject.

Actually, she didn't know how to respond to Jiang Yueming's words, but fortunately Zhang Taidao woke up, which could ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"Um... Thank you for saving my life, young lady."

The first thing Zhang Taidao saw when he woke up was a beautiful girl. He was a little stunned and lost in thought, but he still managed to say thank you in time.

However, his attempts to stand up were weak, and he failed several times when he tried to support himself on the ancient tree with his palms.

Just as Ye Mo was about to step forward to help him, she heard Jiang Yueming's calm voice behind her.

"You'd better rest and recuperate right now. Ye Mo only treated your external injuries; you'll have to deal with the internal injuries yourself."

"Forcing yourself to stand up will only strain your meridians and worsen your internal injuries, especially the severe tears in the muscles of your upper limbs."

After saying this, Ye Moqin turned her head and glanced at Jiang Yueming, then abandoned the idea of ​​helping Zhang Taidao up. After carefully examining Zhang Taidao, she smiled and said, "Hmm, it seems that your upper limb bones are somewhat fractured. You really should rest and recuperate."

Zhang Taidao looked up at Ye Mo and said, "Thank you for your kindness, young lady, but I have something important to do. Could you please help me?"

"Brother, if you have anything important to do, you can leave it to me. I happen to be heading to the Holy Dragon Empire."

Jiang Yueming stepped forward to interrupt Zhang Taidao's insistence, a smile appearing on her lips.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Taidao remained silent for several breaths. Jiang Yueming knew he was considering his words, so she didn't say anything more.

About fifteen minutes later, a determined look appeared on Zhang Taidao's face. He took out a yellow paper letter from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Yue, saying solemnly, "Young friend, please be sure to give this letter to my younger brother, Zhang Daoyang."

"He is in the Immortal Serenity Restaurant in Shengjing City, Holy Dragon Empire."

Zhang Taidao nodded heavily to Jiang Yueming, his voice solemn, and said, "I'm counting on you!"

Because the letter in his hand concerns the very survival of the entire Holy Dragon Empire, and even the grim situation of the entire Holy Dragon Imperial State.

"Yes, I will deliver the letter," Jiang Yueming said, taking the letter with a serious look in his eyes.

He then asked meaningfully, "Brother, I'd like to join the army in Shengjing. Are there any requirements?"

"Huh? What? You said you're going to join the army!" Zhang Taidao suddenly raised his head, staring at Jiang Yueming in shock, speechless for a long time.

In the current situation, everyone knows that joining the army is tantamount to suicide. The royal family has lost power and can no longer care about military affairs. The three families of the imperial state have been skimming profits from the military pay for their own selfish interests for years. The soldiers on the border have suffered repeated defeats and have long lost their morale.

In such dire circumstances, there are still people who want to join the army!

"Brother Zhang, just tell me frankly. He's about to go to the front lines, and he wants to know as soon as possible so he can settle his family affairs and give his life for his country!"

Knowing that Jiang Yueming's words had a hidden meaning, Ye Mo, who was behind him, directly pointed out his purpose.

Jiang Yueming rolled her eyes at Ye Mo in her heart. Although he did have the idea of ​​joining the army, it was too serious to say that he would sacrifice himself for the country right away.

He was, after all, an outstanding military officer. Fighting was the least remarkable of his many strengths. Why do I say it was least remarkable? Because he knew that the only time he would need to use this strength was when the people were in the midst of war.

Rather than letting the people suffer, it would be better to leave this strength aside.

Zhang Taidao glanced at Jiang Yueming, sighed softly, and said, "The situation at the border is critical. The Yingquan tribe has already launched a war, blockading all the ports of Chuting and Ludao. Their next move is to attack..."

"Dinghai! Their next move is to attack Dinghai City!" Before Zhang Taidao could finish speaking, Jiang Yueming frowned instantly and said sternly.

Seeing Jiang Yueming's expression suddenly turn extremely serious, Zhang Taidao was secretly taken aback and exclaimed incredulously, "You...how did you know!"

That's right, the letter he wrote to Jiang Yueming was actually about the Yingquan Clan's plan to attack Dinghai, which was also the secret that Zhang Jin and Zhang Yuan, who had been chasing him before, had mentioned.

But this secret took them a lot of effort, and even cost them the lives of several hundred brothers to steal.

How could Jiang Yueming possibly know this?!

"Do you have a map on you?" Jiang Yueming didn't answer Zhang Taidao's question, but asked about the map first.

Although he vaguely felt that fate was inescapable, he couldn't remain indifferent when the things described in the textbooks actually happened before his eyes!

We should at least give it a shot!
