Shufeng led Fengguang out of Wutong Lane, and they returned to the bustling street. This was Shufeng's first time leaving Linglong Manor. The crowd, who were seeing the white-haired man for the first time, were first amazed by his appearance, and then couldn't help but tremble and take a few steps back, hiding to the side and whispering. Even though Fengguang's hearing was not good, she could hear a few words clearly: "monster," "white-haired ghost," "man-eating monster"... There were all kinds of different adjectives. She felt a fire slowly rising in her heart.
Seeing that she was about to get angry, Shu Feng smiled gently and said, "Don't worry about it. I don't care what other people think."
"But what they said was so awful! It was just... just utterly ignorant!" She couldn't use foul language, and it took her a while to think of a few suitable words.
"It's normal for my appearance to attract a lot of criticism."
“But you’re perfectly normal in my eyes, there’s nothing wrong with you that would cause any controversy.” Her earnest expression told him that she wasn’t lying.
Shu Feng whispered, "But there is only one beautiful scene in the world."
Therefore, she has some different ideas and a different personality from others, because there is no other Xia Fengguang in this world.
Feng Guang knew she couldn't change everyone's minds on her own, and although she understood that, a sense of resentment still lingered. She muttered, "But these people have gone too far..."
“If…” he smiled, “all these people were dead, would Feng Guang be happy?”
They're all dead?
She was stunned for a moment, thinking about the scene of bloodshed, and then decisively shook her head. "I won't be happy. They are just ignorant people at most, not some great villains. What they need is education, not destruction."
"Is that so?" He seemed thoughtful.
She quickly added, "These are all things my dad taught me! Although I don't quite understand what they mean yet, they just seem to make a lot of sense."
“That makes perfect sense.” His expression was serene and peaceful, with a slight smile playing on his lips, giving the impression that everything in the world was perfect in his eyes.
Feng Guang raised her hand slightly, wanting to touch that perfect face, but then she remembered the answer he had given her at Linglong Manor, so she lowered her hand again, and a sense of loss washed over her once more.
What is she thinking? He already said he has someone he likes. Although the woman he liked has passed away, given her small stature, she might just treat him like a little sister or a junior. Knowing this, why can't she control her feelings of attraction?
But her hand, which was about to be lowered, was held in mid-air by him. She looked up and saw something flashing in his eyes that was elusive yet captivating. Before she knew it, she was drawn in.
He said softly, "The scenery... we've arrived at the Xia residence."
His voice had a captivating magic, but the soft sigh in his words gave her a sense of sudden realization.
Feng Guang looked up at the gate of the Xia residence and realized for the first time that her home was actually very close. Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, she withdrew her hand, lowered her head, and said, "Thank you for bringing me back. I'm going in now. Goodbye."
She didn't look at him again, but instead ran straight back to her residence.
After a long while, night fell and a light rain began to fall.
A man in blue robes approached, holding an umbrella. "Young master, you should go back now."
"Let me take another look."
In the misty rain, he stood tall and elegant, like a figure in a painting. Perhaps if the ink were to spread, he would disappear without a trace.
