Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 660 - 635: First Update

Nanmen Yu dared not be too anxious, and seeing Xing Yu’s appearance, he did not dare to approach again.

"Xing Yu, don’t be afraid, you can leave whenever you want, we’re just passing by here, you’re free to go at any time," Nanmen Yu said again, indicating to his people to step back.

At the same time, Nanmen Yu looked at the person on Xing Yu’s back.

Was it a man?

But like Xing Yu, this person was filthy beyond recognition, and Nanmen Yu could not guess the person’s identity, though he could tell that this was someone Xing Yu cared very deeply about.

Upon hearing this, Xing Yu turned and walked away, while the guard standing there did not move an inch.

The guard following Nanmen Yu started to get anxious, "King, they are about to leave. This isn’t the way to do it."

Nanmen Yu, however, did not move, even betting on the outcome. Xing Yu didn’t return to Prince Duan’s Mansion but was here in the mountain forests at the Western Border, surely she must be heading somewhere.

Moreover, now, seeing Xing Yu’s ragged state, without a morsel of food, it was apparent that she was in a dire situation.

Indeed, Nanmen Yu’s bet paid off. Xing Yu walked a few steps until she was certain that Nanmen Yu was truly letting her go, only then did she stop, turning her head to look at Nanmen Yu as if hesitating over an important decision.

Nanmen Yu immediately looked at Xing Yu,

hesitated for a moment, then nodded resolutely.

"Do you need some food? Weapons?" Nanmen Yu asked at once, without waiting for Xing Yu to speak, signaling the guard to place the items on the ground for her to take.

Seeing this, the wariness in Xing Yu’s eyes finally lessened somewhat, and she kept her eyes on Nanmen Yu as she slowly began to speak, her voice hoarse as though she had been screaming for a long time.

"Princely Heir of Nanmen, are you heading to the Western Border?" Xing Yu asked, not holding out much hope, as she had never left Zheng Capital before. The only time she did, she was abducted and had been wandering the forest for three days without finding a way out.

At first, it was not so bad, Yin He was still awake, but now, Yin He had fallen unconscious, and she did not know where to go. She dared not stop, fearing that any delay would render her unable to save Yin He.

"We are passing by the Western Border," replied Nanmen Yu truthfully, as the route to Nanmen State did indeed require passing through the Western Border, and it was also the safest.

However, what was Xing Yu doing heading to the Western Border? It had something to do with the man on her back.

As expected, Xing Yu’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and the look she gave Nanmen Yu became even more earnest.

"Princely Heir of Nanmen, would you be willing to take me to the Western Border with you?" Xing Yu asked, recalling how she had once saved Nanmen Yu.

"Of course," Nanmen Yu, while very curious about what had happened to Xing Yu, hesitated for a moment but decided to ask anyway.

"Xing Yu, why are you going to..." but before Nanmen Yu could finish, he saw Xing Yu’s panicked expression, and even the trust that had been so hard to build seemed to vanish. Nanmen Yu immediately stopped.

"Okay, okay, we’re going to the Western Border. Follow us, or..." Nanmen Yu didn’t ask further, not even glancing back at the man on Xing Yu’s back.

Xing Yu was puzzled, but now she had no other options. Nanmen Yu’s appearance was like a lifeline.

Nanmen Yu quickly had the guard bring some food, and Xing Yu started devouring it. Nanmen Yu watched Xing Yu with an indescribable feeling of bitterness.

After resting for a short while and seeing that Xing Yu had eaten her fill, but the person was once again on Xing Yu’s knees, and even, Xing Yu seemed to be covering up the young man’s face intentionally or not, as if she did not want them to know his identity. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Xing Yu, let the guards take turns carrying him. You can’t keep up like this..."

"No need, thank you, Princely Heir, I can manage it without much effort," Xing Yu interrupted Nanmen Yu before he could finish, immediately rejecting the offer. As she did so, she easily hoisted the man on her back right in front of Nanmen Yu, as if to prove it was indeed effortless.

The guard looked strangely at their own King, puzzling over why, even though their master was now the ruler of Nanmen State, the King did not disclose this to the young woman before them.

And yet, the woman did not seem to possess much strength, but carrying a man on her back truly appeared to be effortless.

Naturally, after eating her fill, Xing Yu carried Yin He without any effort whatsoever. Xing Yu seemed to have found hope again and wanted to set off quickly because the dying Master of the Ghoul Ravine had told her that the quicker they reached the Western Border, the greater the chance of saving Yin He.

Back at the Bu Er Temple on that day, after Xing Yu had been abducted, she had been with the Master of the Ghoul Ravine and Yin He. At first, she wondered why the Master of the Ghoul Ravine had abducted her.
