Therefore, their hearts had been on tenterhooks.

However, now that they were traveling on big and little black’s backs, their hearts slowly relaxed. Once that happened, they fainted.

Fortunately, big and little Black’s steps were steady. Otherwise, these people would have fallen down.

Jiang Zhennan sat on Liefeng’s back and looked at his unconscious subordinates. He sincerely thanked her, “miss Lin, thank you so much!”

Lin Yuelan rode side by side with Jiang Zhennan. Suddenly, she said in a serious tone, “Jiang Zhennan, you must warn your subordinates that once they leave this deep forest, they must forget everything that happened in this forest.

“I was there. Everything that happened there has nothing to do with me, do you understand?”

She could feel that Jiang Zhennan was an upright man. However, some of his people were too young. She was afraid that they would accidentally spill the beans, and then trouble would come to her.

She didn’t like trouble, but trouble kept coming back to her.

Jiang Zhennan naturally understood Lin Yuelan’s concerns.

If Lin Yuelan was really an immortal or a demon, it would be better. After her secrets were exposed, she could hide and not let anyone find her.

But what if she was just an ordinary person? She had special abilities that allowed her to control plants and animals. Many ambitious people would want her.

What would happen when they got her?

The kinder ones would marry her and use her ability to share half of the world with her.

The horrible ones would imprison her for her ability. They might even use her for experiments. They would try to take away her ability.

This was all because she had decided to save them.

When he thought of this, Jiang Zhennan’s hand that was holding the reins tightened. The expression under the mask was filled with shame and determination.

He would never let anyone hurt her.

Jiang Zhennan’s hoarse, deep, and magnetic voice replied sonorously, “Miss Lin, don’t worry. I guarantee that after we leave this mountain, no one will remember anything. We are just people you met on the mountain!”

Lin Yuelan nodded in satisfaction at Jiang Zhennan’s tactfulness.

She said half-jokingly and half-seriously, “Actually, as long as you don’t cause me any trouble, I’ll treat you as my good friends. Otherwise, since I can save you, I can just as easily kill you!”

Jiang Zhennan’s heart trembled. He then promised even more seriously, “Miss Lin, if I or my subordinates have any ill intentions, you can take our heads at any time. We will not complain!”

He would not do such an ungrateful thing, nor would he allow his subordinates to do it. Otherwise, he would deal with them himself before Lin Yuelan even had the chance to do anything.

Lin Yuelan wasn’t afraid that her secret would be leaked. As she said, she was afraid of trouble.

All she wanted was a peaceful life. The small troubles were spices of life, but she didn’t want anything more than that.

After hearing Jiang Zhennan’s promise, Lin Yuelan’s expression turned into a smile again. She asked with a smile, “Masked uncle, how old are you? How could you be poisoned so carelessly?”

Jiang Zhennan felt a sharp pain in his chest. Could she stop calling him old?

Was twenty-four really that old?

Jiang Zhennan’s expression immediately turned cold when he was asked about the poison, and his whole body was filled with hostility.

He had never thought that the butler who had followed him for more than ten years would betray him. When he was at his lowest, this man was kind enough to give him a steamed bun. Later, when he gained some name, Jiang Zhennan met this man begging on the street. In order to repay the favor of the steamed bun, he hired the man as his main butler. When he was appointed as the general of the state, this butler also became the housekeeper of one of the top two families in the capital.

Therefore, no matter the reason, the butler shouldn’t have betrayed Jiang Zhennan.
