Chapter 490: Chapter 489: Master, do you want to go to the border?_1
 

“Sister, I want to stay here.”

It’s rare for the Little Prince to have four playmates, so he doesn’t want to leave.

“Alright, let’s not go back tonight.”

Lin Qingluo didn’t want to go against his wishes and nodded with a smile.

“Great! Maodou, Heidou, Sister Wan, Niuniu, let’s go catch crabs on the riverbank!”

The Little Prince cheered and ran towards the riverbank.

“Let’s go catch crabs!”

The three playmates happily chased after him, running out of the yard.

Lin Qingluo followed behind them, smiling and letting them play.

As night deepened, Lin Qingluo lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She sat up and, using the light from the Night Pearl, opened the Chronicles of the Seven Kingdoms to study the map of Fengqi Empire.

Little Kingfisher curled up into a small ball, resting its eyes. Seeing that its master was not sleeping, it curiously glanced at the map.

Lin Qingluo looked at it seriously, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and deep in thought.

“Master, are you looking at the map of the Beidi Border Pass?”

Little Kingfisher suddenly widened its eyes, and its dark pupils followed its master’s gaze to see a circle drawn on the map.

The circle outlined the Beidi Border Pass, the most important barrier to defend against Beiming Kingdom’s attack, Phoenix Pass.

“Yes.”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes were glued to the circle’s position, not moving for a moment.

“Master, do you want to go to the border?”

Little Kingfisher suddenly perked up, with a hint of doubt: “Didn’t you say you were going to Jiangnan Water Towns?”

“Would they be at ease if I said otherwise?”

Lin Qingluo smiled helplessly: “They definitely wouldn’t agree.”

“Great, let’s go to the border and help out!”

Little Kingfisher was overjoyed.

As a divine beast baby with great divine powers, the battlefield was where it could show off its prowess.

“Which way should we go?”

Lin Qingluo pondered seriously, as if asking Little Kingfisher, but also as if talking to herself.

“Go straight north along the Qilian Mountain Range.”

Little Kingfisher chimed in smoothly: “Going north is always right.”

“Going north is right.”

Lin Qingluo’s brows were still furrowed: “How can we avoid the shadow guards’ surveillance?”

Little Kingfisher’s heart trembled: “Master, are you planning to shake off the shadow guards?”

“If we don’t shake off the shadow guards, our every move will be under Father’s control.”

Lin Qingluo felt helpless: “Once we cross the Min River, he will guess our destination. My grandparents would never agree to let their precious granddaughter go on an adventure to the border, let alone with Xuan’er.”

“Shaking off the shadow guards isn’t difficult.”

Little Kingfisher understood its master’s intention, puffed up with pride: “With the birds watching, it’s easy to find them. Can’t Master just drive them away?”

“You make it sound easy.”

Lin Qingluo was amused: “As shadow guards, they won’t leave easily.”

“Or we could be more forceful.”

Little Kingfisher secretly suggested: “Directly hit their acupoints, so they can’t move?”

“No!”

Lin Qingluo decisively rejected: “That’s too dangerous. If they encounter someone with ill intentions, they won’t have the ability to protect themselves, and their lives may be in danger.”

“Sigh.”

Little Kingfisher was a bit headache.

This way didn’t work, that way didn’t work, it was so troublesome!

“Go east along the Qilian Mountain Range, cross the mountains to the border between Fengqi and Nanqi.”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes shone brightly as she stared at the map, suddenly having an inspiration and revealing a hint of happiness.

“Then, go north along the border, enter Beiqi, and then head west. This way we can confuse Father’s vision. By the time he realizes it, we will have already arrived at the border between Beiqi and Beiming, just one mountain away from Phoenix Pass.”
