Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei were walking on the street.
The stalls sell small items for ordinary people, but their appeal lies in their unique designs and exquisite appearance.
When Xiao Feng saw something that Zhao Yuwei was interested in, he simply took out his money and bought it.
But Zhao Yuwei was clearly very happy when she first came down the mountain.
As the two spent more time shopping, Zhao Yuwei's smiles became fewer and fewer, and she eventually began to appear absent-minded.
Xiao Feng asked Zhao Yuwei several times if she liked something, but Zhao Yuwei was clearly lost in thought, so Xiao Feng could only silently take out his money and buy it.
However, after this happened several times, Xiao Feng became noticeably angry.
What could be so important that Zhao Yuwei is keeping it from even herself?
When did she become so insecure about herself?
Or does she feel that she can't help her solve the problem she's facing?
Xiao Feng tentatively asked Zhao Yuwei, but Zhao Yuwei, just like yesterday, did not answer Xiao Feng's questions and instead changed the subject.
Even when Xiao Feng pressed her for details, Zhao Yuwei simply stopped talking.
Xiao Feng assured Zhao Yuwei that no matter what happened to her, he would stand by her side through thick and thin.
Zhao Yuwei can confide her troubles to him as before.
It's better for the two of them to discuss and resolve things together than for Zhao Yuwei to be stuck here alone.
Faced with Xiao Feng's words, Zhao Yuwei simply looked up at him with deep affection.
Just when Xiao Feng thought she was going to tell him what had happened, Zhao Yuwei lowered her eyes and shook her head.
Xiao Feng couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed Zhao Yuwei's wrist and led her directly into a relatively secluded alley.
Xiao Feng demanded, "What exactly happened? Are you still going to hide our relationship from me like this? Don't tell me nothing happened; I'm not blind!"
Seeing Xiao Feng so angry, Zhao Yuwei opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she closed her mouth and shook her head.
Xiao Feng could clearly see that her eyes were already red and tears were welling up in them, but she refused to speak no matter what.
Xiao Feng had no idea what had happened to her.
Zhao Yuwei had no friends in the Ming Cult, and Xiao Feng didn't even know who to ask.
"Did someone in the Ming Cult bully you?" Xiao Feng asked in a low voice.
Zhao Yuwei immediately shook her head.
"Is it because you're unhappy in the Ming Cult?"
Zhao Yuwei shook her head again.
"What trouble have you encountered? Have you hit a bottleneck in your cultivation? Or is someone gossiping about you?"
Zhao Yuwei didn't make any further moves, and finally spoke softly, "Don't ask anymore, it's really nothing. Just think of it as me being in a bad mood, I'll be fine in a couple of days."
Hearing Zhao Yuwei's answer, Xiao Feng's anger flared up.
Seeing Zhao Yuwei's appearance, Xiao Feng couldn't bring himself to criticize her. He could only embrace her and sigh in a low voice.
"Are you not comfortable living in the Ming Cult? Senior Sister, no one is more important than you. We are the only ones here who can rely on each other."
“We can leave the Ming Cult and live somewhere else. I don’t want to see you so unhappy. Your unhappiness hurts me deeply.”
Xiao Feng's sweet words made Zhao Yuwei slightly open her eyes in his arms.
Zhao Yuwei raised her hand, hugged Xiao Feng's waist, buried herself in Xiao Feng's chest, and cried silently.
Xiao Feng held Zhao Yuwei in his arms, allowing her to release all her suppressed emotions.
After Zhao Yuwei had finished crying, Xiao Feng did not continue to ask about what had happened before.
As long as Zhao Yuwei is alright, Xiao Feng decided to respect her choice, even though she was unwilling to reveal what had happened.
But the Ming Cult certainly cannot return, nor can they continue to live there.
Xiao Feng planned to take Zhao Yuwei on a trip to see the world, so that Zhao Yuwei could relax and clear her mind.
But if he's leaving, he definitely needs to say goodbye to Wu Hai, Su Mo, and Su Xueqing in person.
Thinking about what happened a couple of days ago, Xiao Feng also wanted to tell Su Xueqing about Zhao Yuwei's situation.
Similarly, he wanted to ask Su Xueqing if she knew about Zhao Yuwei.
Xiao Feng had previously overheard people discussing Zhao Yuwei in Su Xueqing's courtyard, and their words weren't very pleasant.
Xiao Feng was furious on the spot, and Su Xueqing even drove those maids out of the Ming Cult.
But Xiao Feng felt that there were quite a few maids with such thoughts, and there must be some left in the Ming Cult.
After agreeing on their travel plans with Zhao Yuwei, the two booked a room at a nearby inn.
Zhao Yuwei's smile indeed became much more frequent.
The two did not return to the inn until evening. After dinner, Xiao Feng coaxed Zhao Yuwei to sleep.
After confirming that Zhao Yuwei was asleep, Xiao Feng hurriedly left and returned to the Ming Cult to find Su Xueqing.
Xiao Feng returned to the Ming Cult alone, at an extremely fast speed.
In just over ten minutes, they arrived outside Su Xueqing's courtyard.
"You love contacting me so often in the middle of the night, could it be that you're planning to...?"
Su Xueqing happened to be in the courtyard. After noticing Xiao Feng's movements, she gave him a charming smile and spoke directly.
However, before Su Xueqing could finish speaking, Xiao Feng interrupted her: "You should know why I came to you. Is someone talking nonsense to my senior sister?"
Su Xueqing inwardly blamed Yuan Ruo a couple of times.
Although Su Xueqing knew that Yuan Ruo was doing it for her own good and didn't want her to suffer.
But when she did this, did she not consider that, given how much Xiao Feng cared about Zhao Yuwei, would he come over and question her directly?
However, Su Xueqing couldn't deny it even if she wanted to. She could only look at Xiao Feng apologetically and say, "I'm sorry, I didn't manage my maids well."
"Perhaps she did something to wrong Miss Zhao, but I have already taught her a lesson, and she has promised me that she will never do anything to Miss Zhao again."
Faced with Su Xueqing's obvious favoritism, Xiao Feng was unwilling and said directly, "Hand her over, I want to take her to apologize to my senior sister."
“What’s the use of just a verbal reprimand? She won’t learn her lesson. Last time you drove away a few maids, they still talked about it. I’m going to punish her myself.”
Su Xueqing certainly wouldn't call Yuan Ruo out.
Yuan Ruo was acting in her own best interest, and although her methods were wrong, it still showed her loyalty to me.
Su Xueqing refused directly: "I've already taught her a lesson. Can't you give me some face and let this matter go? She didn't hurt Miss Zhao. At most, she said some unpleasant things. Do you have to kill her to be satisfied?"
Hearing Su Xueqing say this, Xiao Feng felt even more strongly that Su Xueqing was deliberately protecting that person who couldn't control her tongue.
Xiao Feng also had a cold face: "Some unpleasant words? I'd like to ask just how unpleasant the words she said were that made my senior sister so distracted and full of worries. Her tongue is useless; it can be cut out!"
