Her voice trembled slightly, and a look of pain flashed in her eyes.
Seeing Zhao Yuwei's reaction, Xiao Feng was even more conflicted.
He wanted to explain that it was all a misunderstanding, but he didn't know how to begin.
That's not how it works.
He opened his mouth, but could only utter some indistinct syllables.
He must handle this matter properly, otherwise the consequences will be dire.
Zhao Yuwei looked at Xiao Feng, forced a smile, and said, "Young Master Xiao, I'm so happy for you. Miss Liu seems very gentle; you two must be a perfect match. I wish you... a long and happy life together, and a lifelong bond."
In the midst of this awkward atmosphere, Liu Qisheng seemed to sense something, coughed lightly, and said, "Ahem, it's getting late, let's let Yuwei get some rest first."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Xiao Feng felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly said, "Yes, yes, you should rest first, and let us know if you need anything."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out, as if something terrible was chasing him.
Seeing this, Liu Yueling glanced triumphantly at Zhao Yuwei, then gracefully followed Xiao Feng away.
Liu Qisheng looked thoughtfully at Zhao Yuwei, then at Xiao Feng's retreating figure, shook his head, and followed her away.
Zhao Yuwei was the only one left in the side hall.
She sat there blankly, and finally, tears streamed down her face.
She murmured softly, "Xiao Feng... are you really... going to be with someone else?"
In the dead of night, when Zhao Yuwei was adjusting her breathing.
Just then, Liu Yueling suddenly pushed open the door and entered, a bright smile on her face.
She strode over to Zhao Yuwei and said enthusiastically, "Miss Zhao, since you haven't fully recovered, why don't you stay at our sect for a few more days? We can have a good chat and exchange cultivation tips!"
Before Zhao Yuwei could respond, she suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from inside her body.
Her face turned pale instantly, and large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She bit her lip, trying to suppress the moan that was about to escape her lips.
"Miss Zhao, what's wrong?" Liu Yueling noticed something was wrong and asked with concern.
Just then, Xiao Feng rushed over and immediately noticed that something was wrong with Zhao Yuwei.
He rushed to Zhao Yuwei's side and asked anxiously, "Yuwei, where do you feel unwell? Has your injury flared up again?"
Zhao Yuwei, forcing back the pain, shook her head and said with difficulty, "I'm fine... it's just... the spiritual energy within me is a little... out of control..."
Upon hearing the news, Liu Qisheng rushed over. He observed for a while with a solemn expression, and then said, "It seems that Yuwei has not fully digested the rare treasure she took. I have seen this situation before. It is usually caused by cultivators forcibly taking treasures that are beyond their own cultivation level."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng hurriedly asked, "Senior Liu, what should we do? Is there any way to help Yuwei?"
Liu Qisheng pondered for a moment and said, "We can use silver needles to seal the rampant spiritual power in Yuwei's body temporarily. This way, she can absorb it slowly without damaging her foundation."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Liu!" Xiao Feng said gratefully.
Liu Qisheng nodded and took out a set of silver needles from his sleeve.
He came to Zhao Yuwei's side and gently comforted her, "Yuwei, it may hurt a little next, please bear with it."
Having said that, he began to cast a sealing spell. Silver needles flew like lightning, swiftly piercing Zhao Yuwei's body.
With each needle insertion, Zhao Yuwei couldn't help but gasp, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.
Xiao Feng watched with a heavy heart, clenching his fists as if he wished he could take Zhao Yuwei's pain upon himself.
Finally, the last injection was administered.
Zhao Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief, and her complexion gradually returned to normal.
However, when she opened her eyes and saw Xiao Feng's concerned gaze, her face suddenly turned cold.
"Thank you for your help, Senior Liu," Zhao Yuwei said calmly, but her gaze never fell on Xiao Feng.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Yuwei, are you feeling better? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Zhao Yuwei glanced coldly at Xiao Feng, her tone laced with sarcasm: "Young Master Xiao, since you've already found another partner, why bother caring about me anymore? There's nothing more to entangle between us."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng was struck dumb.
He hurriedly explained, "Yuwei, you've misunderstood! There's absolutely nothing between me and Miss Liu! I've only ever loved you in my life, how could I..."
Upon hearing this, a flash of pain and anger crossed Zhao Yuwei's eyes.
She stood up abruptly, tears welling in her eyes, her voice trembling as she questioned, "Xiao Feng, you said you loved me, but why did you get engaged to another woman? If you truly loved me, how could you do such a thing? Do you know how I've been these past few days? Every day, every moment, I've thought of you, worried about you! And what about you? You actually... you actually..."
As she said this, she could no longer control her emotions, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
He stepped forward, trying to grab Zhao Yuwei's hand, but she abruptly shook him off.
Xiao Feng took a deep breath and explained sincerely, "Yuwei, listen to me. This marriage was already annulled, and it was arranged for me without my knowledge. The story is like this..."
Then Xiao Feng began to explain.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuwei's anger subsided slightly, but a hint of doubt remained. Seeing this, Xiao Feng continued, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Senior Liu; he knows this matter best."
As he spoke, Xiao Feng took Zhao Yuwei's hand and walked towards Liu Qisheng.
When Liu Qisheng saw the two men approaching, he seemed to have already guessed their purpose.
Xiao Feng spoke up, "Senior Liu, please explain to Yuwei what exactly is going on with my engagement to Liu Yueling."
Liu Qisheng stroked his beard and said calmly, "This matter... is a long story."
Then Liu Qisheng told Zhao Yuwei about it, repeating exactly what Xiao Feng had said.
He looked at Zhao Yuwei and said, "Yuwei, you can rest assured. Xiao Feng has never taken this marriage seriously. The person in his heart has always been you."
Hearing Liu Qisheng's words, Zhao Yuwei finally believed Xiao Feng's explanation.
Her tense body gradually relaxed, and the doubt in her eyes disappeared.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng gently took Zhao Yuwei's hand and said softly, "Yuwei, my world has returned to normal now. I just want to take you away from here. As for everything else, I don't want to care anymore. Would you like to come with me?"
Looking into Xiao Feng's sincere eyes, Zhao Yuwei's last bit of resentment disappeared.
She nodded gently and said, "I also want to leave with you. Xiao Feng, let's stay together like this, for all eternity, and never be apart again."
Xiao Feng was overjoyed upon hearing this.
He pulled Zhao Yuwei into his arms and gently kissed her forehead.
