NOVPUBShen Roujia hesitated as she glanced at Ai Yigu, but she quickly dismissed her inner thoughts. With a serious tone, she said, “My situation isn’t too serious. Let’s head back and discuss what exactly is going on.”
Just as Shen Roujia finished speaking, a young man in armor ran up to Wen Surong.
“My Lord, we’ve discovered that the cuts on the bodies were made by the curved blades used exclusively by the Dayue.”
Wen Surong’s expression darkened. “What are they trying to achieve with this sudden attack?”
Shen Roujia thought it over and then calmly said, “It’s quite strange, isn’t it? It seems as if these wolves were specifically targeting me.”
“There’s nothing valuable on the western side, only the weakest border defenses. Besides, Ai Yigu and I have been coming here frequently, and everyone knows because it’s quiet here.”
“If these wolves didn’t recognize me, I’d probably be wolf food by now.” 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Everyone shivered at Shen Roujia’s words. It was true; if things had gone differently, they might be looking at a lifeless Shen Roujia right now.
At that moment, Ai Yigu slowly regained consciousness and rushed to Shen Roujia’s side. “Princess, are you alright?”
Shen Roujia smiled softly, “Thanks to Father arriving in time, the wolves were scared away.”
Ai Yigu gave Shen Roujia a strange look. “The princess doesn’t seem to be afraid.”
Shen Roujia laughed openly, “I’ve crawled out from among wolves before. Naturally, there’s nothing for me to fear.”
Ai Yigu’s expression didn’t change, but she seemed relieved. “That’s good.”
Shen Roujia didn’t say anything more in front of Ai Yigu. After all, she couldn’t fully trust this foreign woman. Trust wasn’t something you gave just because someone had a pitiful story.
