"Noble... Miss Ji," Mu Ruyue had just about to utter the words 'noble concubine' but remembered Ji Ru Ya's current status and swallowed the words back, "what happened here?"
Ji Ru Ya slightly shuddered, bit her lip, and said, "Since leaving the Imperial Palace, my cousin and I have been living in seclusion here. These people are the local ruffians and rogues, they... they took a fancy to me, so..."
There was no need for Ji Ru Ya to finish her sentence, as Mu Ruyue already knew what had occurred.
Truth be told, Mu Ruyue didn't have a deep impression of Ji Ru Ya. The only vivid memory was when the Holy Maiden Sect came knocking, and Ji Ru Ya defended her. It was for this reason that she was willing to lend a helping hand.
Since the day she left the Imperial Palace, several years had passed without any news of her, and who would have expected to meet her here...
