Completing the City Boundary Map (1)

Perhaps Mo Linyuan himself may be the only person who truly enjoyed his time during this meal.

Although Mo Linyuan mainly wanted to tease his little beloved, the warning also held great significance. Zhao Mingyu observing his affection for Ye Mu was greater than any fantasy she could imagine herself.

If she ever tried to make any move against Ye Mu, she would have to reconsider it.

Sure enough, the Zhao Country’s princess behaved a lot more following the meal. However, as Mo Linyuan tried to offer several proposals in exchange for the City Boundary Map, the Zhao official refused. They were at an impasse for several days.

Mo Linyuan’s patience was slowly reaching its breaking point.

One day, Mo Linyuan dispatched an imperial edict to the Zhao official. It stated that he no longer wanted the City Boundary Map, and simply told them to depart with a few gifts of appreciation.

Zhao Mingyu definitely didn’t want to leave! She hasn’t come up with a solution yet was told to return home. If she returns without accomplishing her mission, her prestige she acquired in the Zhao Country will be ruined!

Not knowing how to fix this, Zhao Mingyu couldn’t want any longer and privately discussed with the official for a plan.

One day after, Mo Linyuan met with the Zhao Country’s official. He listened as the official spoke,

“Your Majesty’s feeling for Miss Ye is truly the world’s most genuine love. Our princess understands this and she knows not to get in between you two. Therefore, she has agreed to accept Your Majesty’s proposal to find her a suitor in the Mo Country. However, the right suitor must be chosen for her before exchanging for the City Boundary Map. She simply hopes to give her hand in marriage for the sake of uniting the two great countries!”

Since the beginning Zhao Mingyu had no intention of marrying someone else. However, now she was willing to marry another. This woman was truly tricky. Yet, Mo Linyuan lightly smiled and agreed,

“Granted. It will be as the princess wishes.”

Seeing that Zhao Official obtained his goal so easily this time, he exclaimed joyfully,

“Perfect! This foreign minister will return to the Zhao Country tomorrow, as the princess will get married soon. Until then, I will have to trouble you to take good care of the arrangements during my absence!”

Mo Linyuan chuckled and nodded, “I will take care of it.”

The next day, the Zhao minister left. Mo Linyuan watched as the group left for the city walls in the distance, a smirk on his lips.

Ye Mu asked, “They totally surrendered to you, just so that they could find another method?”

Mo Linyuan nodded, “It doesn’t matter what they are scheming. Mu’er, let’s go back and take a look at the last piece of the City Boundary Map. Now that all the pieces are together, we need to find out where the treasure is.”

Compared to Mo Linyuan’s good mood, Ye Mu was obviously thrown off. She couldn’t believe it if she had heard him clearly. Did he say he obtained the City Boundary Map? Then, since she had arrived in the past, would she simply have to touch the map again to return to her time?

As she reflected on this, she couldn’t help but secretly peek over at Mo Linyuan. She felt something was off with him. He then looked back to meet her eyes, his eyebrows raised in question to inquire,

“What’s wrong?”

“Ah? Nothing, it’s nothing.”

Ye Mu lowered her head. Right then, she suddenly remembered a phrase she heard a long time ago: If the person you like also returns your feelings… when you are watching him, he will feel it and return your gaze.

Thinking of this, Ye Mu felt even more mournful. She thought, she must first help him find the treasure and avoid touching the map until then!

Presently in the Emperor’s palace, several people were working tirelessly to repair the map. With the piece given to them by the Zhao Country, the whole map was now completed!

Evidently, each piece of the map fragments were made of different materials. Therefore, they must be redrawn with a finer scale material.

Once Ye Mu arrived, they were almost done piecing it together. In the end, the final product was the unified map. Mo Linyuan slightly smiled and everyone retreated respectfully, as if Mo Linyuan had let out a wolfish howl. The upper right corner of the map had three big characters written: City Boundary Map!
