After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 490: Favorability Reaches 30%?

While Xie Xing was stunned, Jun Lanjin tugged at Xie Xing's arm and said, "Xing'er, come with me."

Feng Langjun, who was by Jun Lanjin's side, fought his way out.

Xie Xing stumbled as he was pulled along, and followed Jun Lanjin out the back door.

Song Qingyang was protected behind Song Ci'an, and the two fought and retreated until they reached the palace alley.

Luo Hanfeng was hot on their heels, and torches and arrows flew towards Xie Xing and the others. Jun Lanjin knocked away the arrows that were aimed at the two of them and tightly protected Xie Xing behind him.

Xie Xing stayed behind Jun Lanjin and looked around at the people.

She seemed to have discovered something. It appeared that Jun Lanjin was at a disadvantage, as if he had been forced into a corner, but Xie Xing had always been by Jun Lanjin's side, and she knew exactly what forces were around him.

Even now, although Song Qingyang and Song Ci'an are actually here.

However, Jun Lanjin possessed a tiger tally that was not only for the Fenglang Army, but also for the imperial tiger tally.

And the Sixth Prince. In this war, the Sixth Prince and Consort Lin's family, who should have appeared, never showed up. Where did they go?

"Jun Lanjin, you have long since run out of options."

Luo Hanfeng stood in front of the army, looking coldly at Jun Lanjin and the others, and said, "Prince Jin is so talented, as long as you stop, I will spare your life."

Jun Lanjin smiled and said, "Do you think you can spare my life?"

A cold glint flashed in Luo Hanfeng's eyes. He raised his hand, and the archers behind him all aimed at Jun Lanjin, Xie Xing, and the others.

"In that case, you should all die."

After he finished speaking, the archers behind him simultaneously drew their arrows.

Jun Lanjin's Fenglang Army had only a few dozen men left, while Luo Hanfeng had over a hundred soldiers behind him.

It shouldn't be like this.

Xie Xing felt something was off. She looked up at Jun Lanjin's back, and a strange feeling gradually surfaced in her heart.

Knowing everything, is Jun Lanjin really so naive and easy to deal with?

If that's the case, then he's not the villain in the novel who single-handedly wipes out the main characters and is ultimately killed by the plot. But why would he stage such a performance? What is he plotting?

Xie Xing didn't understand, but that didn't affect her determination to complete her mission; only 20% of the goodwill remained. Xie Xing suddenly stepped in front of Jun Lanjin, shielding him behind her, and raised her voice to Luo Hanfeng:

"If you're going to kill him, kill me first!"

I absolutely cannot let the prince die!

The prince is my life!

[In the story, is he going to die here?]

Xie Xing controlled his thoughts and repeated them in his mind several times.

They can hear her innermost thoughts, right? She'll let them hear them to their heart's content!

Upon hearing Xie Xing's thoughts, Luo Hanfeng's expression grew even colder. His eyes turned icy, and his gaze towards Xie Xing was filled with genuine hatred.

"You're actually willing to die for him!"

"Xie Xing, does he deserve it?"

"You have no idea what he's plotting behind the scenes!" Luo Hanfeng said hatefully, gritting his teeth, wishing he could slap Xie Xing awake right now.

What exactly does she like about Jun Lanjin? Just his face?

Jun Lanjin was somewhat surprised, and his expression was complicated in his peach blossom eyes.

Unexpectedly, at the very last moment, Xie Xing was willing to give up his life for him.

Is this genuine, or just for the sake of gaining favor?

Jun Lanjin thought to himself casually.

Even though he was so aware that Xie Xing was probably blocking his way at this moment for the sake of so-called favorability points, he still couldn't help but want to increase Xie Xing's favorability points.

Anyway, it's all going to end soon. This so-called "favorability rating," there's no need to control it anymore, right? Thinking this, Jun Lanjin took the initiative to pull Xie Xing into her arms.

He leaned against Xie Xing's shoulder, his long eyelashes brushing against Xie Xing's face, and whispered, "Xing'er, thank you for going to such lengths for me, but... it's not necessary."

As his voice fell, Luo Hanfeng's eyes were already burning with desire from the intimacy between Jun Lanjin and Xie Xing.

He raised his hand and gave the order directly.

"put!"

In an instant, a rain of arrows swept towards them.

Xie Xing's pupils reflected the countless arrows.

Just then, the system notification sounded: [Ding, congratulations host, Jun Lanjin's favorability towards you has reached 100+.]

[Host's mission is complete. Please die at Luo Hanfeng's hands and leave the mission plane immediately.]

Xie Xing's eyes lit up. Just as she was about to stand in front of Jun Lanjin to shield him from the rain of arrows and willingly face death, she heard Jun Lanjin's gentle and melodious voice behind her:

"You can't die, Xing'er."

As his voice faded, a heavy horn sounded from outside.

At the same time, news also came from Luo Hanfeng's side:

"Your Highness, the three great families have been taken into custody by the Xie family with their weapons!"

"The 100,000 troops stationed outside the city have fallen into the enemy's smoke trap and can't get in!"

"The sixth prince led his men and stormed the palace gates."

Upon hearing this, Luo Hanfeng's expression faltered slightly.

"That army of 100,000, I heard, consisted of 60,000 troops borrowed by the Seventh Prince in alliance with the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom, plus 40,000 troops from the remnants of the previous dynasty, which is why there are 100,000 troops outside the city?"

Jun Lanjin put his arm around Xie Xing's waist; the Fenglang Army around him was more than enough to deal with these arrows.

He slowly straightened his slightly disheveled clothes and said gently, "I thought the Seventh Prince would use some powerful moves, but I didn't expect it to be so simple. It made me so tired of pretending."

"Seventh Prince, I have already given you a chance, but I never expected that you would have the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom supporting you, the three great families backing you, and..."

Jun Lanjin's gaze fell on Wen Yan, and he smiled, "And the young master of the Wen family is so devoted to working for you."

"Logically speaking, everything is ready except for the final push, but I never expected that the Seventh Prince would play such a good hand so badly."

"After so long, my subordinates are still the same, full of flaws."

As his voice fell, countless palace guards rushed in behind Luo Hanfeng and Wen Yan, surrounding them like dumplings.

Xie Xing: "..." The ominous premonition in his heart materialized at this moment.

"Holy crap!" the system blurted out.

In fact, Xie Xing and the system had already guessed it.

When Jun Lanjin read his thoughts, he had already gained the upper hand, making it extremely difficult for him to win later.

However, as the male protagonist of this world, Luo Hanfeng must possess some luck, and he can also hear Xie Xing's thoughts, so logically it shouldn't be like this.

But the truth is that Luo Hanfeng, being a love-struck fool, was so focused on how to win Xie Xing away that he neglected Jun Lanjin.
