"You can open your eyes now," she didn't believe the voice telling her to open her eyes, perhaps her soul has already arrived at the gate of hell, she slowly opened her face only to see a veiled man holding her in his arms, she couldn't see his entire face because of the veil on the hat but as the wind blew past them, the veil opened a little when she caught glimpse of his face and the faint smile on his lips.

{He is the one}

Her lashes fluttered with her lips slightly partitioned, the man who has been invading her thought for quite some time now is actually the one holding her, the one who saved her, Wei Xianlu and Xixi were confused by the strange look on her face while she fixed her eyes on this man, at that moment, she had a surprised but pleased look on her face, something that Xixi has never seen her give any other man and a look that Wei Xianlu has failed to get ever since he met her at the manor.

Realizing that she doesn't have any intention of leaving his arms or moving her gaze away from him, he decided to make the first call, he unwrapped his hands from her waist and moved a step backwards, his face was covered so they couldn't tell their identity except for Ruo Rufei.

They had almost forgotten the army of statues battling with them until another one dashed towards the duo, the fourth prince didn't need to turn back to know what was going to happen, he pushed her farther away from him while the sword landed in their middle then he bent his body backwards to dodge another attack, he pulled her hand and spun her around until her hands were on his chest then he used her legs to hit the statue in front and spun her body three-sixty-degrees round to kick down all the statues coming at them, the others watched the scene in amusement while Wei Xianlu felt jealous deep inside him, seeing another man control her body while she willingly surrendered her every part of her to him, the look on her face showed that she liked it, she definitely liked being controlled by him.

He brought her to the ground and twirled her body towards Xi Feng who quickly caught her, although he wasn't looking, he could see the burning glare of anger Wei Xianlu directed at him and he could recognise who the person is.

{The prime minister's son, isn't he supposed to be at the border, what is he doing here}

He pondered!

He didn't have much time to meddle in their business since he needed to get treated as soon as possible, he decided to get them out of the forest as soon as possible.

"Xi Feng, get them out of the forest, I will take care of the rest," he instructed and nodded at Xi Feng who understood what he meant, he threw his sword at him, the fourth prince unsheathed the sword and swung it around before wielding it by his side with his back turned at them.

"Who are you?" Wei Xianlu questioned in an aloof tone, he hated the guts of the person standing in front of him, even though they had been fighting for some time now, they haven't managed to get out of the maze the statues formed around them and this man actually intends to protect them.

What a joke! tch!

"You don't need to know who I am, all you need to know is that I can save your ass so I suggest you leave the forest now," the fourth prince answered in a more cold and aloof tone, his confidence and superiority resounded in his tone and this made Ruo Rufei even more interested in him, she had this faint smile on her face as she fixed her eyes on him which Wei Xianlu noticed.

"Save my ass...do you know who I am, how dare you to talk to me in such manner?!!" Wei Xianlu roared with his hands behind him and a composure exhibiting his superiority but how can he be compared to the fourth prince...?

"Hey! who do you think you are to speak to his high...."

"hmmmn," she stopped at the warning Xi Feng gave her.

"The fact that I am the one who saved this young miss just now and I have passed through this stage before means I can deal with these statues, I am only interfering because of this young lady so you had better listen to me before it is too late, the moment anyone moves, the statues will start attacking again, so decide fast...." the fourth prince warned with a serious and domineering tone.

Wei Xianlu clenched his hands in anger but he knew that every word this daring stranger just said is true if he still insists on staying, they might begin to suspect of having an ulterior motive in entering the spirit forest, however, he can't risk not completing the task his father entrusted to him and more so, he can't let this stranger have his way.

"Master..."

"Young master Wei, if we are offered help, we should kindly accept this mister kind intention to help, we originally came into this forest to explore it, as we have already come this far, I don't think there is anything else we have to see unless if young master Wei wishes to take something from the forest," Ruo Rufei added, he turned to her with an angry gaze which he tried to feign as a calm look, even though Ruo Rufei is the type who would never accept anyone's help, she certainly wouldn't refuse this mister's help considering the fact that he has been in her thoughts ever since she saw him.

Xixi who was watching the drama as it unfolded was already feeling uneasy, she didn't like that she and her young mistress are in the midst of such a tense situation, she was about to say something when she accidentally tripped on a stone, they all turned to her with their eyes widely opened.

"Xixi, we weren't even prepared to make our escape yet and you have already ruined it!" Ruo Rufei scolded knowing that the statues were going to continue their attack on them, and it happened, the statues began forming another formation round about them.

"How good is your light body skill," the fourth prince questioned, without looking at the person he is talking to, Wei Xianlu scoffed inwardly at how bold this person is to ask him such a question, judging from his clothing, he could tell that he is a noble but he is still sure that this man cannot have a higher status than him.

"Better than yours," he replied confidently.

"hmmph! who do you think you are, even ten of you cannot measure up to his high...my master," 

"Lowly girl, who do you think you are talking to?" Ke Yang retorted, clutching his sword tightly.

"Are you going to keep arguing until they finish their formation and start attacking or will you leave and save your skin?" 

"Mister, thank you for your rescue, I will wait for you outside the forest and await your safe return," Ruo Rufei answered in his place, making the decision even before Wei Xianlu had the chance to, her forwardness when it comes to this strange man that he suppose she is just meeting for the first time enraged him but he couldn't let his intentions be known.

"If that is what Miss Rufei wants then I will follow your decision," he responded, pretending to be the yielding man he is not., Rufei smiled faintly with a nod in response while the fourth prince nodded his head and signalled the other two to lead them out while he deals with the statues, they nodded their head in response.

The fourth prince started attacking the statues with weak and yet smooth attacks while the others took the chance to propel themselves into the to escape with Wei Xianlu holding Ruo Rufei and his bodyguard holding Xixi.

After they were out of sight, the fourth prince stopped attacking them knowing that it is just a waste of effort and time to do so, he gathered his Qi and pushed his hands forwards, then he spread his arms wide and spun his body around in the air, freezing all the statues, he landed on the ground seeing that his job there is done.

After some minutes, they arrived outside the forest because of their light body skills, making it faster for them to leave the forest.

"Who don't we return to the manor now that we are outside the forest now, I suppose your grandfather must be worried about you," Wei Xanlu proposed but earned a disappointed look from her.

"I didn't think that young master Wei is one to disregard favours, I have given my word to wait outside the forest to await his safe return and I will do just that, that mister saved my life so I cannot ignore him and leave," 

Xixi raised one of her brows hearing her young mistress reply, one word that can be used to describe her young mistress is definitely 'proud', she would never accept anyone's help with gratitude or thank anyone for their favours unless if that person is considered important to her.

"I didn't intend..."

"Miss, you don't have to worry about our master, he is more than capable of entering and leaving the forest as he wishes so you can rest assured and return to your manor as this young master suggests," Xi Feng interjected, he found her behaviour suspicious, if she has seen his master's face then the reason for her behaviour might be justified but she didn't.

"It seems like these young ladies no longer need to see my master's face to fall in love with him, young miss, you shouldn't miss this gentleman because of my master, he has no interest in women," Xiaodi cleanly added with confidence.
