"I haven't spent so much time with you. How about we go to the town at the foot of the mountain together tomorrow to relax and have some fun?"
Xiao Feng's voice rang out above him. Zhao Yuwei did not answer, but Xiao Feng could feel her gently nodding in his arms.
Xiao Feng was unaware of what had happened to Zhao Yuwei.
Since Zhao Yuwei didn't want to tell him, he respected her choice. It wasn't time to reveal the truth yet.
"I want to stay here with you tonight. We can go down the mountain early tomorrow morning and maybe catch the morning market in town."
Xiao Feng held Zhao Yuwei's hand and sat down on the edge of the bed, talking about the plans for their outing the next day.
Zhao Yuwei nestled in Xiao Feng's arms, listening to his words, and gradually closed her eyes. The weariness and turmoil in her heart seemed to be relieved at this moment.
Xiao Feng looked at Zhao Yuwei, who had quietly fallen asleep in his arms, and gently stroked her cheek with his large hand.
Zhao Yuwei would never act like this. What exactly happened during the time she left the Ming Cult and returned to recuperate?
Would anyone in the Ming Cult bully Zhao Yuwei?
Xiao Feng's face was terribly gloomy, but he moved very carefully, placing Zhao Yuwei on the inside of the bed.
Xiao Feng took off his outer clothes and lay down next to Zhao Yuwei, fully clothed.
Seeing Zhao Yuwei like this, Xiao Feng's romantic thoughts vanished.
Staring at Zhao Yuwei's sleeping face, Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask himself, "Was it a mistake for me to stay in the Ming Cult? My senior sister doesn't like staying here."
Seeing that Zhao Yuwei would unconsciously furrow her brow even while asleep, Xiao Feng reached out to smooth the unevenness between her brows, but he was afraid of waking her up.
In the end, Xiao Feng could only gently hold Zhao Yuwei's hand and lie down to sleep.
Hearing the breathing of the person beside her gradually become steady, Zhao Yuwei, who had already woken up, opened her eyes.
She slept soundly nestled in Xiao Feng's arms.
But in my dream just now, the words that person said echoed in my ears again.
After sensing that Xiao Feng had fallen asleep, Zhao Yuwei sat up and looked at Xiao Feng's handsome face by the moonlight.
Zhao Yuwei's eyes were filled with deep reluctance.
She stayed by Xiao Feng's side, watching him grow step by step to where he is today.
His future achievements are immeasurable; he will reach even greater heights and possess even greater strength in the future.
Even though he has a special physique, his talent is still no match for Xiao Feng's.
Even her help to Xiao Feng couldn't compare to Su Xueqing's.
I would only be a burden to Xiao Feng if I stayed by his side.
Zhao Yuwei's fingers, filled with longing and reluctance for Xiao Feng, traced across his face from afar.
She wanted to touch Xiao Feng, but she was afraid that she would be even more reluctant to part with him.
Zhao Yuwei firmly remembered the image of Xiao Feng sleeping peacefully.
She will only ever love Xiao Feng in her entire life.
In order for Xiao Feng to reach greater heights, she could leave him, allowing Su Xueqing to focus more wholeheartedly on helping him.
After tracing the outline of Xiao Feng's face with her eyes, Zhao Yuwei lay back down in bed.
She gently approached Xiao Feng, inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from him.
A tear slid down her cheek and into the brocade quilt, disappearing from sight.
I slept without any dreams.
The next morning, neither of them brought up the topic from the previous night.
Just as they had agreed, they went down the mountain early in the morning to explore the town.
Although the two had gotten up early enough, in order not to disturb the ordinary people, they concealed their presence and entered the town.
This meant that by the time the two arrived, the morning market was almost over.
Xiao Feng took Zhao Yuwei to a steamed bun shop that he had eaten at before, a place that was particularly delicious.
The two ate breakfast first.
When the steamed bun shop owner saw that Xiao Feng had come to patronize his stall again, he specially gave Xiao Feng an extra basket of steamed buns with fresh vegetable filling.
A rare smile appeared on Zhao Yuwei's face.
After breakfast, the two strolled around the town, having a wonderful time.
The news that Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei had left the Ming Cult alone was quickly delivered to Su Xueqing.
Su Xueqing is usually very busy, so she naturally can't devote all her energy to Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei.
However, some people, in order to curry favor with Su Xueqing, would proactively inform Su Xueqing of Zhao Yuwei's movements.
There were even people who had previously considered taking action against Zhao Yuwei to help Su Xueqing eliminate her love rivals.
Su Xueqing was naturally unwilling to resort to such underhanded tactics, so she directly reprimanded the other party and told them not to keep an eye on Zhao Yuwei anymore.
But Su Xueqing didn't expect that the message this time would come from her personal maid, Yuan Ruo.
"The young master and Miss Zhao have gone down the mountain? So what if they've gone down the mountain? Why are you telling me about this?" Su Xueqing said casually, glancing at the cultivation manual in her hand.
Even though Zhao Yuwei was Su Xueqing's personal maid, Su Xueqing wasn't worried at all, but Yuan Ruo angrily said, "That Zhao Yuwei is clearly a vixen, bewitching the young master every day. The young master belongs to the Holy Maiden!"
"If she had any self-awareness, she should have left long ago. I didn't expect her to shamelessly stay in the Ming Cult. She even blatantly tries to steal the son-in-law. I really can't stand it."
“Holy Maiden, why don’t I get rid of Zhao Yuwei? The young master is really something, he already has the Holy Maiden, yet he’s still so fickle.”
"If it weren't for the Holy Maiden's favor, he wouldn't have his current status. Not only is he not grateful to the Holy Maiden, but he's also flirting with other women. The Holy Maiden should teach her son-in-law a lesson!"
Su Xueqing knew that Yuan Ruo had always disliked Zhao Yuwei.
But I never expected that my personal maid would be so resourceful, even able to say something like that.
Su Xueqing put down the cultivation manual in her hand, glanced at Yuan Ruo indifferently, and then said, "In that case, I don't want to hear you mention it again. Since you know he is the son-in-law, you should understand what you should say and what you shouldn't say!"
Yuan Ruo obediently agreed, still looking somewhat indignant on Su Xueqing's behalf.
She grew up alongside Su Xueqing since she was little, so she knows Su Xueqing's temperament.
Su Xueqing clearly disliked Zhao Yuwei, but if it weren't for Xiao Feng, she wouldn't have tolerated Zhao Yuwei's reckless behavior.
Su Xueqing could naturally see what Yuan Ruo was thinking. She sighed and then said, "I know you've always targeted Zhao Yuwei, but I've come to a realization now."
"Regardless of the relationship between Zhao Yuwei and Xiao Feng, I have already secured a place in Xiao Feng's heart. If I target Zhao Yuwei too much, it will only make Xiao Feng think I am jealous."
"Besides, I, Su Xueqing, don't need to compete with a woman for Xiao Feng's affections. If I can help Xiao Feng more, he will naturally see more in me. So please don't target her anymore."
After Su Xueqing finished speaking, she waved for Yuan Ruo to leave, unaware that her personal maid was a woman of her own mind.
She could tell that Su Xueqing wasn't indifferent to Zhao Yuwei's existence, but simply too lazy to bother with her.
As Su Xueqing's most loyal follower, she naturally had to resolve this hidden danger for Su Xueqing.
With Zhao Yuwei dead, the son-in-law can now focus all his attention on the Holy Maiden.
Yuan Ruo left the room, preparing to take action.
