To get to Dingbei Pass, one must pass through Sui City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Su Qianxue was not lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, that’s not possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, she was refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, as cold as snow and exceptionally handsome, lowered his eyes to look at her, his voice carrying a hint of apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Men and women of marriageable age should avoid suspicion. Traveling together might tarnish your reputation, and besides, I don’t want to be misunderstood by the one I care about. I hope you understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the previous series of hints, when he mentioned ’the one I care about,’ Su Qianxue naturally assumed he was talking about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The engagement had been annulled for so long, yet he still wouldn’t get close to other women for fear of her misunderstanding?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling of being favored was wonderful. Su Qianxue couldn’t resist it; thus, even though she was turned down, she wasn’t angry at all. Instead, waves of secret joy filled her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine, I didn’t expect you to be someone so deeply affectionate and respectful of others’ reputations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qianxue sincerely praised him, viewing this as Yun Wanchen’s virtue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for being refused, it didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she couldn’t travel together, so be it. At worst, she would just follow from not too far, not too near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, no matter what, she was determined to follow and would definitely not let him shake her off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, she still had a task to complete. Although she didn’t want to harm him, she was now merely a tool of the system, with no rights, no ability to resist or refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as she found the opportunity, she still had to complete the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, traveling alone was lonely, dull, and full of dangers—how could that compare to having company?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having made up her mind, when Yun Wanchen and his servant set off, Su Qianxue immediately followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roads were slippery with snow, making riding horses unsafe, so the three of them led their horses on foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princely Heir, that girl is following us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Yan glanced back and winked at Su Qianxue, then leaned beside Yun Wanchen and spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, just ignore it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Wanchen replied indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not notice Su Qianxue’s actions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that the road wasn’t built by him, and how could he stop others from walking on it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How domineering and unreasonable would he have to be to do such a thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, even if he stopped her from going, with the system in place, she’d find a way to follow. Instead of letting her act in the shadows, it was better to keep her in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the previous refusal to travel together, it was just to express his stance, not to truly refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a day’s journey, before nightfall, Yun Wanchen and Cang Yan arrived at a town called Linxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The town wasn’t big, with only about two hundred households, filled with a strong northern atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With falling snow, there were few pedestrians on the streets, only a few vendors carrying goods, loudly hawking as they walked through the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold wind carried a tempting aroma of wine, making Cang Yan’s stomach growl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He led his horse, staring eagerly towards the southeast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Duke had guarded Dingbei Pass for many years, so they had visited this town many times. There was a small tavern in the southeast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wine there was brewed with a rich and strong flavor, especially satisfying to drink—something he had longed for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they were here, how could he miss it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed, looking towards Yun Wanchen in front, speaking in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princely Heir, it’s freezing out here, and we’ve traveled all day, cold and tired. How about going over there to have something warm to dispel the cold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Wanchen had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the chance for a warm meal, who would want to chew on dry rations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two headed towards the tavern, with Su Qianxue still following not too far behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Four Directions Tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door wide open, with a red-hot iron stove in the middle, emitting a warm heat, making the place cozy and comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the stove, on brown tables and chairs, sat several burly men of various statures, dressed simply, playing games with wild abandon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the entrance of new guests went unnoticed by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side of these men, a man sat quietly drinking alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man wore a black and gold robe, with his back facing the door, immediately capturing all of Yun Wanchen’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated, then walked towards the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Yan, who was about to find a table: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was slightly stunned, a bit at a loss, watching Yun Wanchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Princely Heir was naturally aloof and wasn’t one to initiate conversation with strangers; could it be that he knew this person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, may I sit here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching closer, Yun Wanchen only then realized the man was holding a little child in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child looked exquisitely carved from jade, exceptionally attractive, with large, sparkling black eyes gazing at him like precious stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the man and this child seemed utterly unfamiliar, never seen before, yet an overwhelmingly deep sense of familiarity rushed through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man before him tilted his head, offering a smile, and motioned with his hand in a gesture of invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the man’s appearance was ordinary, his eyes were filled with a familiar yet enticing mischief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Wanye!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Wanchen’s face instantly darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, it’s one thing for this brat to run off on his own, but why take the little sister out as well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, when he left, these two were still at the mansion, yet despite traveling tirelessly except at night, these two had already been waiting here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did they manage to reach ahead of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could ponder further, Yun Wanqing’s childish voice suddenly echoed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Oh, Second Brother, seems like Big Brother has recognized us.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hmm???]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Why is Big Brother angry?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Wanchen: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why else would he be angry, mad that I took you out, obviously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Wanye poured a cup of wine, casually used inner strength to send back a message that only Yun Wanqing and Yun Wanchen could hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Wanchen: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least he’s aware, yet this brat is indeed audacious, taking the little sister out in such cold and desolate surroundings, without fear of misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Wanchen feigned gratitude, lifted his robe and sat down next to Yun Wanye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Oh dear, Big Brother don’t be mad, I was the one who asked Second Brother to take me out, besides, Mother agreed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother woke up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes, not long after Big Brother left, Mother woke up, nothing serious, Sister is by her side taking care of her, no need for Big Brother to worry too much.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Wanchen softly responded and afterwards inquired with inner strength, \"You left later than me, how did you end up here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little sister, you explain to Big Brother, I need to conserve my inner strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Wanye casually said with inner strength, then picked up the wine jug to pour Yun Wanchen a cup, and feigned unfamiliarity saying, \"My fellow, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Okay, got it!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Wanqing responded enthusiastically, immediately preparing to explain everything to Yun Wanchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before she could begin, Cang Yan approached, looking curiously and inquisitively at Yun Wanye and Yun Wanqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master, do you know this valiant warrior?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, how strange, why does he feel this warrior and the little child are so familiar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if seen somewhere before, yet he couldn’t recall exactly where.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Wanchen responded perfunctorily and gestured for Cang Yan to sit. Cang Yan courteously greeted Yun Wanye, and soon the three began to clink glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out and about, there weren’t so many formalities, neither Yun Wanchen nor Yun Wanye treated Cang Yan as a subordinate when drinking, but rather as an equal drinking buddy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three exchanged drinks, while Yun Wanqing in Yun Wanye’s arms, looked up at Yun Wanchen, recounting the entire story through heartfelt voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Big Brother, here’s how it went, Second Brother and I disguised ourselves to avoid detection by the system, making it easier to act.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The woman disguised as a man you met with Cang Yan last night, that was Su Qianxue under disguise.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Yun Wanchen paused, raising his eyebrows slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was Su Qianxue!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He guessed right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, Yun Wanqing’s heartfelt voice continued, appropriately explaining all his doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Emperor issued a secret decree, sending Mo Yuanhao to Dingbei Pass. To complete the mission, the system directed Su Qianxue to follow Mo Yuanhao.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mo Yuanhao moved too fast, shortly after leaving Haojing, Su Qianxue lost track, but unexpectedly, stumbled upon you in the wild.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Then, the system temporarily issued a task targeting you. Second Brother and I weren’t assured, so we hurried over.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[As for why we left later but arrived here earlier...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It’s because I carved a few teleportation arrays while bored, which came in handy today. Second Brother and I teleported directly here, naturally quicker than you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent Su Qianxue from getting lost in the wilderness, the system had continuously provided navigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Wanqing could also see this, drew the map, marked Su Qianxue and Yun Wanchen’s locations, and showed it to Yun Wanye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his innate directional sensitivity, Yun Wanye immediately recognized Yun Wanchen’s location, coupled with the snowy setting, made a rough estimate of their journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Yun Wanqing learned from Su Qianxue and the system’s dialogue that the woman was closely following Yun Wanchen, no more than two hundred meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, she constantly tracked Su Qianxue’s position and provided real-time updates to Yun Wanye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, the siblings arrived at this small tavern waiting ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, a knowing gleam passed through Yun Wanchen’s eyes, fully comprehending the causes and effects of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, it was indeed a chance encounter yesterday; their main target was not him, he was merely incidental...\u003C\u002Fp>",1772,"2026-05-29T11:25:24.517Z","2026-06-01T04:29:30.646Z",1,"novelbin.me","fd9508675cf641d553fd0e1262d7ed29821c38ee6497c8fb0fd0ac80a959aab7","my-inner-thought-is-exposed-the-villain-family-d-chapter-520","my-inner-thought-is-exposed-the-villain-family-d-chapter-518",524,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-inner-thought-is-exposed-the-villain-family-d-cover.jpg"]
