Feng Luo glared at Chu Ge angrily, wanting to vent all the anger she had been holding in onto him.

Just as she opened her mouth to say something, a little beggar came running and interrupted her.

"Old Gang Leader, the Gang Leader is calling you back urgently."

"Are you sure it’s the Old Gang Leader and not me?" Feng Luo asked, puzzled.

The little beggar nodded, very sure, "Yes, it’s the Old Gang Leader."

He was panting heavily, pulling the Old Gang Leader’s hand to leave, "Old Gang Leader, hurry up, it’s important not to be late."

"What’s so urgent?"

It shouldn’t be, she just had a big incident happen, and Luo Qi didn’t say to find her, but instead find the Old Gang Leader?

With doubts in her heart, she still quickened her pace towards the Beggar Gang’s mansion.

It turned out, the major event mentioned by the little beggar was nothing else but the Emperor’s decree to summon the Old Gang Leader.

Feng Luo was depressed, "Dad, why does the Emperor suddenly want to see the Old Gang Leader?"

Even if they would often play chess together, that was just something from a few days ago, why suddenly summon him again?

"Because the Old Gang Leader is also going to enlist in the army, the Emperor found out about it, so he wants to summon the Old Gang Leader."

Luo Qi sat there, his face full of worry.

"It’s just enlisting in the army, why would the Emperor want to see him for that?" Feng Luo muttered, as she turned to look at Luo Qi, seeing the worry on his face, and asked in confusion, "Dad, why are you so worried? Being summoned by the Emperor is not a bad thing, why do you look so upset?"

"In the past, being summoned by the Emperor was naturally not a bad thing, but this time it’s different." Luo Qi said helplessly, "Forget it, even if I tell you, you wouldn’t understand. Now, what happened today?"

Luo Qi switched the topic, collected himself, looked at her seriously, and said, "Today I heard you had a conflict with Princess Liu Li again?"

Feng Luo sighed helplessly, "Looks like I need to give the Beggar Sect Disciples a proper lesson, let them know what words should be said and what shouldn’t!"

"What should be said or not? Did you forget the setback you encountered with Princess Liu Li last time?" Luo Qi really didn’t know what to do with Feng Luo, he felt like going forward to give her a good scolding, but his hands wouldn’t obey!

"What setback? Last time she clearly suffered a setback from me, otherwise she wouldn’t come to provoke me today again!" Feng Luo folded her arms and sat on the chair, her face full of defiance, "So what if she’s a Princess? Can a Princess act lawlessly? Just because she’s a Princess, does it mean I have to comply? I, Feng Luo, am not someone who panders to power!"

Luo Qi sighed helplessly, "I’m not saying you should pander to power, I’m saying you should stay away from her."

"I’ve already stayed away enough! But in situations like today, it’s out of my control, isn’t it? I was standing there, and she came and bumped into me and fell down, pinning the blame on me?"

Feng Luo felt aggrieved too, today Princess Liu Li was clearly coming to make trouble deliberately, but unfortunately, due to her high status, she couldn’t directly retaliate. If she were an ordinary person, just like Feng Luo, how could there be any hesitation?

Of course, it’s not that she fears what Liu Li might do to her, she fears that Liu Li might use royal power to bully the Beggar Gang!

She didn’t mind being bullied, she could find an opportunity to pay back in the future, but there were many Beggar Sect Disciples, she couldn’t take a risk with the whole Beggar Gang!

Since returning, Chu Ge had been sitting quietly, not speaking. Hearing Luo Qi preparing to reprimand Feng Luo, he suddenly seemed to snap back to reality and said to Luo Qi, "Boss Luo, this time it wasn’t Miss Feng Luo who stirred up trouble, it was Princess Liu Li making a fuss for no reason."

"See!" Feng Luo, seeing someone speak for her, quickly chimed in, "There’s someone here as a witness."

She had just finished speaking when Chu Ge contradicted her, "I’m not a witness, I only heard it from people watching the commotion on the roadside, and your friends also confirmed this. I only believe in evidence, not groundless rumors."

Feng Luo’s mouth twitched, does it make a difference?

But with Chu Ge speaking up, fortunately, Luo Qi believed it too, he nodded lightly and said, "Actually, everyone knows outside, this Princess Liu Li is arrogant and pompous, everyone knows, whoever gets into trouble shouldn’t provoke Princess Liu Li, otherwise she’ll hold a grudge for life, and she’ll make life hell for you! Nevertheless, Feng Luo this little girl..."

Nevertheless, Feng Luo this little girl just went and crashed into Liu Li’s hard rock! It really gives him a headache.

"But luckily Feng Luo is going to enlist soon, even if Princess Liu Li wants to pick on her again, it won’t be that easy."

This thought gave him some psychological comfort.

Feng Luo snickered, "Don’t make it sound like I’m enlisting just to avoid her! I’m not afraid of her!"

"Sure, sure, you’re not afraid of her! Alright, quit lingering here, better go pack up a bit."

Luo Qi advised Feng Luo.

Feng Luo glanced at Luo Qi, then looked at Chu Ge, pouted, "If you want to talk alone with Chu Ge, just say it directly, what a flimsy excuse, huh, I’m going out for fun!"

Anyway, she wasn’t fond of listening to their men’s conversation, she’d rather go out on the street and listen to some gossip, because once in the army, don’t mention gossip, there might not even be someone to talk to!

After Feng Luo left, Chu Ge looked at Luo Qi and asked, "Does Boss Luo have something to say to me?"

Luo Qi nodded, he stood up and walked in front of Chu Ge, made a respectful gesture, and said, "Mr. Chu, I’d like to ask you a favor."

Chu Ge quickly stood up to greet him, "Boss Luo, feel free to say what you have in mind, no need to be so polite."

"I’d like to ask you to take good care of Feng Luo while in the army."

Luo Qi voiced his concern, "I know Mr. Chu will eventually leave us, and your departure depends on Feng Luo’s assistance. I earnestly request Mr. Chu to consider Feng Luo’s youth, and by then ensure her safety."

Not waiting for Chu Ge’s response, he continued, "I haven’t personally seen what it’s like to open the Time-Space Gate, but I’ve heard from the Old Gang Leader that it might affect everyone nearby, therefore I have this concern."

Chu Ge nodded slightly, "Honestly, I don’t know what that will look like either, but rest assured, Boss Luo, I’ll definitely keep Feng Luo safe and sound."

A gentleman’s word, four horses cannot chase.

Luo Qi was slightly relieved upon hearing Chu Ge’s assurance, "Then please, Mr. Chu."

"Boss Luo, no need for courtesy."

Chu Ge lowered his eyes slightly, he considered for a moment and decided it was necessary to remind Luo Qi, "I suspect Princess He Shuo isn’t the real Princess, she might be like me, coming from another time-space..."
