Gu Xijiu wanted to take the leap of faith and reveal herself . However, all of a sudden, there seemed to be some movements in the tree above her . Swiftly, a figure flashed before her eyes and landed before her .

"My Eldest Prince Brother, it is me . "

Gu Xijiu was surprised! The man was Yun Yanli . He was hiding on the same tree as she was . When did he come here? Was he here before she came or after? She did not seem to notice his presence at all .

The curtain of the carriage was lifted . A handsome and alluring face could be seen behind the window . His beauty alone could bring calamity to the country and people .

The man's explicit facial features suited his elfin face – big eyes, double eyelids, and small, cherry lips . The fluid glance in his eyes was attractive . For a woman, beauty as such was enough to overthrow a kingdom .  

As chance would have it, he was born to be a man instead . She could tell his gender from his headgear and his ident.i.ty .  However, he had a typical woman's face, but his voice was deep and grim .  

His appearance was somewhat odd . Gu Xijiu did not feel quite right about the man . If she had not known about the ident.i.ty of the eldest prince, she would have thought that the prince was actually a princess in disguise .

Since Yun Yanli had uncovered himself, there was no need for her to disclose her presence .

A look at the eldest prince was enough to confirm that he was not the man that she was looking for, even though he was wearing a robe of very intense purple . The color was close enough to the robe worn by the man in her dream, but she was sure that he was not the one .

"My third brother, what are you doing so secretly on the tree?"

Upon hearing the question, Yun Yanli frowned .

The Emperor Immortal had two sons and two daughters . Yun Yanli was the third among his siblings, so Yun Yanhong, the eldest prince, would often address him as his third brother .

Smilingly, Yun Yanli answered with great composure, "My Eldest Prince brother, this is a complete misunderstanding . I was here in the market and got tired after a while, so I decided to take a rest on the tree and fell asleep without even knowing it . If you had not called out to me, I would still be asleep . "

His explanation seemed legitimate . Yun Yanhong took his words with a grain of salt . He then observed the top of the tree, but could not see anything suspicious . This time, he took his remarks more seriously and nodded . "You seem to have a lot of free time . Why didn't you take any guards with you?"

Yun Yanli responded with a smile, "I am only here for a walk . Moreover, this land belongs to the Celestial Kingdom . What should I be afraid of?"

"Don't be so careless . Recently, the aggressors from the Devil Kingdom look like they are ready to make trouble . You are alone and single-handed . You have to be careful, so they do not stand a chance to plot any vicious plan against you," Yun Yanhong continued scornfully .

"Thank you for your kind words, my Eldest Prince brother . I will be careful . "

The pair of brothers had a brief conversation . Soon, Yun Yanhong's carriage departed and marched across the path .

Yun Yanli stood and watched as the carriage slowly moved away . Swiftly with a lunge, he was back on the tree . This time, he made his appearance right in front of Gu Xijiu . "Miss Gu, what a coincidence . We meet again . "

Idly, Gu Xijiu sat comfortably on the tree . "This is not a coincidence . You have been following me," Gu Xijiu answered nonchalantly .

Yun Yanli was astonished .

There was a gleam in his eyes . A moment later, he smiled without making any denial . "You are indeed a smart lady . However, I have to say that I have not been following you on purpose . I saw you coincidentally in the market and watched as you climbed the tree . I knew you were asleep, so I was worried something bad might happen . I had to follow and watch out for you . Nonetheless, I have opportunely saved you from embarra.s.sment . How will you thank me?"
