Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Not Want But Can't

The excitement and dense atmosphere of the center of the capital Nanjing became the background of a pair of men and women who held hands.

The man frowned because it was uncomfortable to be in the crowd especially the sun right on the head which made him very sweaty and exhausted.

Meanwhile, the girl did not look exhausted in the slightest—an enthusiastic smile plastered on her beautiful face, she was very agile to pull the hands of the handsome man here and there making the man as a servant carrying groceries.

Different from the situation at night which is quieter and quieter, during the day the center of the capital Nanjing becomes very crowded because this place is the center of all activities of the Nanbao Tribe.

Unlike Shen who adheres to an era where even the air is filled with elegance and modesty, a vulgar stigma can completely tear down a woman's future.

Equality and freedom in the Nanbao Tribe is one that is rarely found elsewhere and is an attraction for those who hear about this region.

Despite having freedom—this region also has strict regulations for small rats that violate and can threaten the welfare of Nanbao.

"Are you not tired?" Sima Junke asked a little louder as his voice was submerged with a crowd of people.

"You tired?" Xiu Qixuan asked back.

"I'm asking you!" Sima Junke grunted with annoyance because his arm was already sore carrying a lot of stuff and both of his legs were already numb to go around following the will of this beautiful girl in front of him.

Slightly regretful of her decision to follow this girl because Sima Junke worried about the state of Xiu Qixuan if left alone let alone this girl became the target of the grandmother and officials since the appearance of the banquet last night.

"No, I'm not tired. Know it? it is a privilege of a woman, if shopping they will only feel eager to get around." Xiu Qixuan said then let go of her grasp and stepped towards one of the small stalls beside the road when she saw something that caught her attention.

Sima Junke sighed to be patient with this girl, then he followed Xiu Qixuan from behind to head towards the location of the stall with a pouting face.

Stand back at odds with this girl who is paying to the seller. I don't know what else this girl bought.

"Don't put on that ugly face of yours, if you're tired—you can come back. But because I'm a good girl who knows the favor. This is for you, a gift from me." Xiu Qixuan said that he offered a special hand-crafted pendant Nanbao.

"You can relate it to your sword or your drunkenness" Xiu Qixuan continued, raising the corner of his eyebrow when he saw Sima Junke only speechlessly looking at the object on his palm.

"Gift? You bought it with my money, how can this be called a gift?" Sima Junke asked with an indifferent face but the man still picked up and kept Nanbao's signature craft pendant.

The man was just a prestige admitting he was a little touched by Xiu Qixuan's small act.

Xiu Qixuan chuckled pettyly at the misaligned speech and actions of the man before her.

Without them knowing since earlier among the crowd there was a pair of eagle eyes belonging to someone watching all their actions and interactions.

The two eyes that implied dislike and jealousy with tightly clenched hands and hunting breath as if they could not bear to pounce on the foreign man who was too intimate with his girl.

Moments later Xiu Qixuan and Sima Junke rested in one of the taverns selling food and drinks beside the street.

They ordered a lot of food, especially Xiu Qixuan who was too greedy and curious about the taste of the Nanbao Tribe's native food.

Xiu Qixuan rests on the building's cradle, this tavern is open which allows its visitors to see the crowds on the street.

Turning her beautiful face to enjoy the crowd, she accidentally turned upside down when she saw someone she knew was across the street—s being camouflaged as a buyer looking at street-side dikios.

They stared at each other and someone stepped away as if to code for Xiu Qixuan to follow him.

Xiu Qixuan was currently wearing Nanbao women's clothing with a face-covering cloth to dispel the flying sand.

He stood up to follow someone he knew,

"Where to?" Sima Junke asked with a frown.

Aiyaa, she had almost forgotten about Sima Junke's whereabouts.

"I just remembered there was something left in the previous stall. You wait here, I'll go get it." Xiu Qixuan replied convincingly.

"No, I'll order Kangjian to take your things." Sima Junke's words held back Xiu Qixuan's departure.

"In addition, your order will be served soon." Further

"The sawn is following us?" Asked Xiu Qixuan frowning, she looked very troubled.

"Ekhm, I mean later when we get back—I'll order Kangjian." Sima Junke replied with a soft heart as Xiu Qixuan was unaware of Kangjian's whereabouts who had since purged the emissary spies of several Nanbao officials.

"It was too long, after all, the stall was close to this tavern. I promise it won't be long." Xiu Qixuan said then quickly stepped up not giving any chance for Sima Junke to refute or follow him.

Step up and keep a high alert to make sure no one is following him by choosing a detour and a narrow alley that is not too crowded because the crowd can help someone who follows and watches him.

Meanwhile, the earlier donkey, Sima Junke was agitated when he did not see Kangjian's whereabouts when the man wanted to order his trusted subordinate to guard Xiu Qixuan from afar as the girl remained steadfastly away alone taking the dikios before.

Sima Junke wanted to follow Xiu Qixuan but the girl disappeared too quickly, after all he was already exhausted and did not know which stall Xiu Qixuan meant because they were shopping at many stalls then also this girl's groceries were too much to be carried by sturdy arms that were only commonly used to hold the sword.

Xiu Qixuan stepped quietly as she made sure no one followed her, following in the footsteps of someone she knew before in front of the store.

Seen right at the end of the narrow path a man was closing both eyelids and crossed arms in front of the chest.

The aura surrounding the man seemed indifferent as if whatever things and events were around him had nothing to do with him

Xiu Qixuan stepped closer and stood before the man. The expression on the girl's face looked troubled and full of worry as if she was caught making a big mistake.

"Have you had fun?" Asked the man sharply but still closed both of his eyelids.

"Teacher, what are you doing here? You and Er'ge should have left Nanbao territory as quickly as possible since last night," Sentak Xiu Qixuan did not answer the previous question that Ji Gui had thrown.

Xiu Qixuan was no fool, she knew herself to be on the main list of Nanbao's topics of conversation. He knew more people had been watching his actions since the trade deal was signed and approved by the Old Lady.

Sima Junke was by his side either because he also wanted to keep an eye on his actions or wanted to keep up by cleaning up the person watching him. Xiu Qixuan did not know! Makes him more alert and worried about it.

Seeing the teacher wandering around the day and using only a little disguise, the person who saw would quickly find out that the teacher was from Shen because it was different in terms of physical appearance.

Xiu Huanran had already given him a means of communication, Xiu Qixuan had already thought that his second brother would quickly exit Nanbao territory and prepare his subordinates out there to carry out their plans.

It was unexpected and too shocking to see Ji Gui acting so rashly standing in front of the store and had been following him since.

Finally Ji Gui opened her eyelids and looked at Xiu Qixuan with a clear dislike.

"I asked again. Already satisfied playing with that foreign man?!" Ji Gui asked in an increasingly heavy and sharp voice.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you? You look strange, " Xiu Qixuan said looking at Ji Gui with a trembling look as she gasped at the teacher's face that darkened in anger.

"Can't you just answer my question? Well, if you don't want to answer— I'll conclude that you're satisfied playing. Since you're satisfied playing, now come with me home!" Said Ji Gui smoulderingly he grabbed Xiu Qixuan's arm and pulled her roughly to follow in his footsteps.

"Deliver! Master I said loosely," Xiu Qixuan said, shaking her arm violently trying to release Ji Gui's tight grip on her arm.

After releasing his arm with a rough throw until Ji Gui was pushed back because of his strength.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?!" Asked Xiu Qixuan loudly staring at Ji Gui intently.

Ji Gui's breathing was burning, the man seemed to be trying to regain his composure.

"You're worried about me," Xiu Qixuan said in a statement that softened back when she saw Ji Gui who seemed to have trouble controlling herself.

"For now I can't follow you home. But, Xuan'er promised— would return home as soon as possible with Ji Gui." He continued with a gentle gaze releasing all forms of his formal call to Ji Gui.

"Can't you behave like a noble girl in general? No action, just stay in the residence to wait for a man to come proposing and not interfere in all political affairs or war." Said Ji Gui looking at Xiu Qixuan with a sultry deep gaze.

Xiu Qixuan stared back at making them look at each other for a while before Xiu Qixuan finally put on a sweet smile and replied, "Actually I don't want to, but I can't."

His words were the truth from within his mind and the bottom of his heart. Xiu Qixuan did not want to interfere in all forms of politics or war but since the mission given to him—Xiu Qixuan could not avoid all that. Xiu Qixuan had tried to avoid it but it was useless that the situation would force him to act.

Xiu Qixuan disliked being forced by circumstances, so it was better to go first before things pushed her into a more difficult situation.

Just like today, Nanbao became his first step— making camouflage trading when the goal was to more easily keep an eye on the situation Nanbao is in his grasp slowly.
