Chapter 722: Gratitude for Nurture

implementation, she couldn't let her ruin her plan."Ge'er, are you still angry with Si Chen" Xiao Yufu finally couldn't hold back and spoke first."What Isn't this the result your sister wanted" Since...“Exactly!” Xiao Yu Ge nodded.

"Can we really do this" Longyuan still seemed a little disbelief. After all, how could their small, makeshift stand even be seen by the Frost and Snow Pavilion

"Of course! As long as the village chief agrees, after I go down the mountain, I will connect you. At that time, just wait for the people from the Frost and Snow Tower to come, but..." Xiao Yuge paused: "The rules of the Frost and Snow Tower are very strict, I wonder if you can bear them" Since she took over as the master, she has set many rules in the tower. Once the rules are broken, there will inevitably be punishment.

“This is natural. If we can successfully join the Frost and Snow Pavilion, we will definitely abide by its rules!” Long Yuan knew that if he wanted to consider the long-term development of the village, he had to rely on something. Otherwise, even if there were a second or third Black Bear Village attacking, he might not be able to protect his village: “However, I still need to discuss this matter with my foster father.”

Of course, the decision is in your hands. I'm just offering my opinion. The final say rests with you! Xiao Yuge simply felt that if such a righteous and honorable mountain stronghold were to be swallowed up by someone else, it would truly be a shame. If there was Frost Snow Tower as their backing, those small bandit groups would naturally not dare to come and cause trouble again.

"Princess, I have something unclear. We were just strangers who met by chance, and I even kidnapped you...why would you help us"

Xiao Yu Ge smiled, her lips curving into a gentle curve: "To be honest, I think you're a good person. You shouldn't be hidden away in this small, insignificant village. I hope you have a bigger stage to showcase your talents and reach their full potential!"

"Do you really think I'm good" Long Yuan suddenly felt a sense of surprise.

Of course, robbing the rich to help the poor proves that you have a kind heart for all. Just now, I saw that everything in the village was in order after the battle, which shows that the discipline within the stronghold is strict on a daily basis. With such courage and wisdom, you are destined to reach a wider sky.

"The County Princess has praised me too highly. Last night, if it weren't for the County Princess, my Longyuan Village would probably be a very different place now. This is all thanks to the County Princess!" Long Yuan felt deeply grateful.

“You don't have to be humble. I'm just talking on paper. The real strategist is you, and I believe that even without my advice, you would have found a way to deal with the Black Bear Fort's surprise attack. Those fishing nets outside are the best proof. You anticipated the Black Bear Fort's raid long ago and made preparations accordingly, didn't you”

"The county princess is indeed observant!" Long Yuan admired greatly. He hadn't expected that a young girl could see through everything, and he secretly rejoiced that he hadn't offended her. Otherwise, I'm afraid even the entire Yulong Village wouldn't be enough for her to calculate.

“Alright, it's getting late. I'm going to check on County Princess Guoan and the others. After you discuss with the village head, give me a reply, and then we'll go down the mountain!” Xiao Yuge stood up and turned to leave. If she didn't leave the capital now, Qian Tingxuan might really come looking for her.

"Miss," Long Yu suddenly stopped her.

"Hmm" Xiao Yuge, hearing this, turned around. The sunlight shone directly on her, making her appear as if she were surrounded by a circle of gold, highlighting her celestial beauty like a fairy descending from the heavens.

Long Yuan, who was about to say something, suddenly forgot what he wanted to say. He just stared at her blankly. Time seemed to stop at this moment until Xiao Yu Ge called his name again.

"Young Master Long of the Dragon Ridge"

Long Yuan only then came back to his senses, hurriedly withdrawing his eyelids: "County Princess, I will immediately go in and discuss with my adoptive father. I will tell you the result right away, and then, I will personally send you down the mountain!"

"Good!"

Long Yuan walked into the old chieftain's room. At this time, the old chieftain had already opened his eyes.

"Father, how are you feeling" Long Yuan took a quick step forward and carefully helped him up.

“I’m much better now.” The elder looked paler than usual, but his spirits were noticeably improved. He grasped Longyuan’s hand and asked in a low voice, “Yuan’er, tell your godfather the truth, who was that girl just now” Clearly, the elder had begun to suspect Xiao Yuge’s identity.

"Father," Long Yuan knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he knelt down and told his adoptive father everything that had happened.

"Yuan'er, you are so foolish!" The old village head scolded him after hearing this: "You actually dare to kidnap the current county princess. You know that what you have done is a capital offense!"

"Father, Yuan'er knows he was wrong!" Long Yuan had realized this wasn't right from the start, but now that it had happened, there was no turning back. "When Sister Hua asked someone to find you, I thought... It was Yuan's mistake!"

"Yuan'er, you're fortunate to have encountered a righteous county princess. Had it been someone else, the Yu Long Village would have surely met with disaster! And Hua'er, too, is reckless. No matter what, she shouldn't act so hastily!" The village head was heartbroken and couldn't help but blame himself: "It's all my fault for dragging you down..."

"Father, please don't say such things. It was you who took me in from a young age and treated me like your own child. Your kindness, Yuan'er will never be able to repay it. All of this is Yuan'er's fault, and any consequences, Yuan'er will bear them alone!" If the Emperor became angry with Longya Village because of this, he would take full responsibility.

"You, child." The old chieftain let out a long sigh, knowing everything he did was for himself and the mountain village. How could he bring himself to scold him again

"Father, rest assured, the princess not only did not hold a grudge but also pointed out a clear path for our Dragon's Ridge..." Long Yuan then told his father everything Xiao Yuge had just said.

"You, you said what Joining the Frost and Snow Pavilion" The village elder seemed incredibly excited, his hands trembling slightly.

"Father, Yuan'er wants to seek your opinion..."

The old village head looked at him for a long time before asking, "Yuan'er, tell your godfather the truth, have you fallen in love with that county princess" Sure enough, ginger is still the hottest spice. His eyes for seeing people and things were accurate!

" Godfather, I..." Long Yuan's face flushed slightly, his answer already written on his face.

"That's right, a girl as captivating and brilliant as her is hard not to be moved by. She's brave and intelligent, but Yuan'er, you must remember that for you, she's like the sun, moon, and stars in the sky—beautiful to behold, but forever belonging to no one." The village elder knew a woman of such intelligence wouldn't stay confined to someone's heart. There would always be others who were smitten with her. He was afraid that Long Yuan would fall too deeply, only to suffer heartbreak when she slipped away.

"Yu'er understands..." Long Yuan lowered his eyes, bitterness spreading in his heart. Love came unexpectedly, deep and unwavering. To like someone, one only needs a glance, but to forget that person, perhaps it takes a lifetime.t for Madam and the young lady." 。“Yeah, I had some too.” 。Xiao Yufu also added a sentence. 。Xiao Yu Ge asked again, "Are there any more of those flower teas""Yes, I'll go get some now." 。Xiaorou im...
