Lu Yun didn’t pay any attention to the women following him.
Over the past few days, he had been spending time with Su Quyun without trying to hide it, so it was only natural that they had been discovered.
He didn’t care what the women thought.
None of them had ever truly acknowledged their marriage in the first place—they merely treated it as a mission.
Since that was the case, why should he concern himself with their opinions?
Whoever he chose to spend time with was none of their business.
…
After crossing a mountain ridge, they entered a dense forest.
Lu Yun and Su Quyun carefully searched the area as they continued forward, staying alert for poisonous snakes and insects.
Completely unaware that they were being tailed, Su Quyun was exhausted, yet her fair, delicate face still wore a cheerful smile.
“Have you finished writing your song?” Lu Yun asked.
“No,” Su Quyun replied with a shake of her head.
“I’m not very good at songwriting. I just wanted to give it a try. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just let it go.”
“Don’t force it,” Lu Yun comforted her, recalling a number of songs from his previous life.
“Good songs often come down to inspiration.”
“Why are you making the bow yourself? Wouldn’t it be easier to just buy the materials?” she asked.
“Some materials can be bought, but others have to be found personally. They aren’t things that are normally sold.”
“I see.”
“Then could you help me buy the ones I can’t get? It’s inconvenient for me to leave the base.”
“Of course!”
Lu Yun listed several items he needed—ox tendon, ox horn, lead wire, and a few others—and explained their uses to her.
It gave them something to chat about during the journey, sparing them from an awkward silence.
Su Quyun listened attentively, nodding from time to time to show she remembered.
Every so often, she secretly glanced at Lu Yun, admiration shining in her eyes.
“Can… can I ask you something?” she asked timidly, clearly afraid he might refuse.
“What is it?”
“Everyone says you’re an idle playboy who bullied people and did all sorts of terrible things back in the capital… that you’re infamous and completely incorrigible…”
She spoke cautiously, stealing nervous glances at him, worried he might become angry.
Seeing that his expression remained calm, she quietly relaxed.
“Hm.”
Lu Yun merely nodded without any visible reaction.
“But… I don’t think you’re that kind of person.”
She finally voiced what she truly believed.
“W-What do you mean?”
Unable to meet his gaze, Su Quyun lowered her head, her cheeks flushing red.
“Let’s keep going. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.”
With that, Lu Yun offered no further explanation and continued walking.
Su Quyun stood there for several seconds, lost in thought.
No matter what others said, she trusted her own judgment.
It must just be a rumor.
He’s clearly so capable… and his personality isn’t like that at all.
Looking at Lu Yun’s back, she felt an overwhelming sense of security.
A trace of shy affection appeared in her eyes.
Smiling softly, she tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear before hurrying after him.
…
As the sun dipped below the western mountains, at a secluded spot near the foot of the military district’s rear mountain…
The members of the Fire Phoenix Special Forces had been lying in wait there all day.
They had arrived in the morning and waited until sunset.
By now, every one of them was exhausted and thoroughly annoyed.
They hadn’t even eaten lunch, and complaints filled the air.
Looking up at the sky, An Ran sighed weakly.
“Why aren’t they back yet?”
Ye Cunxin gritted her teeth.
“That bastard… Is he planning to spend the night in the mountains?”
“If I’d known they’d be gone this long, I never would’ve waited here like an idiot.”
Tang Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh of regret.
“They’re just sneaking off on a date. Did they really have to hide out in the mountains all day? Being our husband must be exhausting!”
The others were speechless.
Just then, Azhuo suddenly spoke.
“Why are they here?”
Everyone froze and immediately looked into the distance.
A group of women was approaching together.
“Don’t tell me they’re here for Lu Yun too?”
Tian Guo sighed.
“Seeing them all come together… probably.”
“Forget hiding,” An Ran said as she stood up, rubbing her numb legs with a groan.
“Since they’ve already found us, we might as well go out.”
“Yeah. If they know, they know.”
“Worst case, we’ll all deal with Lu Yun together.”
“Exactly! I’ve had enough of this. We’ve been waiting all day and practically got eaten alive by mosquitoes.”
The women nodded one after another, climbed out of the bushes, and walked toward the approaching group.
When they met, Ye Cunxin asked,
“What are you all doing here?”
Long Xiaoyun answered expressionlessly,
“Where’s Lu Yun?”
An Ran replied,
“He hasn’t come out yet. He’s still in the mountains on his date.”
After talking for a while, the Fire Phoenix team learned that the others had overheard the soldiers discussing Lu Yun during training.
After questioning them further, they discovered that Lu Yun had gone into the mountains with the military district’s new beauty, Su Quyun, and had immediately come looking for him.
The Fire Phoenix members also told them everything that had happened throughout the day.
Finally, everyone reached the same conclusion.
“Today, we’ll find him no matter what,” someone declared with a cold snort.
“Alive or dead—we’re waiting right here until Lu Yun comes back!”
