Chapter 61

"Hey! Look, aren't there two people up there?"

"Indeed, they are a couple. They are truly a match made in heaven. They must be people from the martial arts world?"

"They must be martial arts practitioners. Ordinary people would never dare to be so wild and unrestrained. Only those free-spirited female knights would be so unrestrained."

"This is indecent and immoral; leave immediately..."

"I thought I had seen the characters in that sketchbook. Is this what they mean by 'the paper is short, but the feelings are long'?"

......

The crowd below the tower all focused their attention on Shen Qingnian and Song Xuan. The two were standing right where the fireworks were going off. Normally they wouldn't attract much attention, but under the glow of the fireworks, they were quite eye-catching.

Because of the great distance, the people below the tower could not see the two people's faces clearly, and Shen Qingnian naturally could not hear what the people below were saying. She was even unaware that many people had gathered below the tower.

But Song Xuan knew this. He had practiced martial arts since childhood and had exceptional hearing. He could even hear the discussions of the people below the tower clearly.

Although he was a gentleman, he could not control himself when his emotions were intense. He only released Shen Qingnian when she was about to run out of oxygen. Then he pulled her into his arms again, gathered his energy, and flew away to a greater distance in an instant.

In the few leaps and bounds of Song Xuan, the people below the tower could no longer see the two figures; only the fireworks that continued to burn continued to bloom at the top of the tower.

Song Xuan directly sent Shen Qingnian, whom he was carrying, back to the Shen residence.

At the main gate of the Shen Mansion, he put the person down. The vermilion gate was already closed, and the gatekeepers had all entered the mansion and were guarding the entrance.

Shen Qingnian's veil had fallen, revealing her rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes. She was as delicate and charming as a blooming peach blossom in spring.

After she withdrew from Song Xuan's embrace, she reached out and reluctantly grasped the hem of his moon-white robe, her voice tinged with reluctance: "Your Highness..."

The girl before him was so charming that Song Xuan couldn't help but reach out and touch her slightly flushed cheeks. The touch was delicate and smooth, and he couldn't bear to put her down.

"Wait for me. After I return to the palace, I will order the Imperial Observatory to change the wedding date. We will be able to see each other again soon," Song Xuan said in a gentle voice, tinged with eagerness.

Even before they parted, he was already thinking about their next meeting.

Shen Qingnian nodded, her gaze sweeping over the stone pillar at the entrance, then she chuckled softly, "I remember last time at the family banquet, I left first, but afterwards I couldn't resist sneaking out and hiding behind that stone pillar. I saw His Highness and Miss Lin together..."

I was heartbroken at the time, feeling that there was absolutely no possibility between His Highness and me, and I remained depressed for many days afterward.

Song Xuan was startled, then recalled the events of that day. He had made a guess at the time: the fleeting purple figure and the faint jasmine scent lingering behind the stone pillar had made him suspicious.

Knowing Qing Nian's state of mind at that time, he couldn't help but feel guilty, so he took the initiative to explain: "That day, Lin Yue'er insulted you at the banquet, and I was also a little annoyed. She apologized to me at the door, and left on her own after I rejected her."

Speaking of Lin Yue'er, Shen Qingnian showed no resentment, but instead smiled with relief: "Miss Lin is also a straightforward person. She loves His Highness and naturally wants to stay with him."

This statement attributed Lin Yue'er's wickedness to her genuine nature, but the harm Lin Yue'er had done to her still lingered in Song Xuan's mind.

Song Xuan frowned slightly, a flash of disgust in his eyes: "No matter what, she hurt you. Not only did she whip you, but she even pushed you into the lake. If I hadn't gone, you might have been framed and killed by her..."

As he spoke, he seemed to be a little scared and pulled Shen Qingnian into his arms.

The man's voice, tinged with a mixture of relief and resentment, rang out: "Fortunately, I left quickly. If I had been even half a step slower, I wouldn't dare to think about it."

Although Lin Yue'er was exiled some time ago, the wound on your back will most likely leave a scar. She truly deserves to die!

His Qingnian suffered so much pain because of Lin Yue'er.
