Chapter 435: Standoff
Li Yuan looked down at the girl and reached out to stroke her hair: "Fei'er, you've already done very well."
Ye Fei lowered her hand from her eyes, her vision blurred with tears, and looked at him: "Really?"
"Of course." Li Yuan gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "In my heart, you are the best, and your mother will be proud of you."
Ye Fei is not someone who easily wallows in sadness; even when she sees those shocking scenes, she can still think positively.
Hua Hua once said that her mother is a strong person. The reason she has not shown herself for so many years must be that she is hiding in some unknown place, living a carefree and happy life.
I need to become stronger so that I can keep up with her.
Ye Fei turned her gaze to the handsome young man sitting in the chair, and raised her lips slightly: "Thank you for your comfort, I've cheered up."
"Idiot, do we need to say thank you to each other?" Li Yuan flicked Ye Fei's forehead with his finger, not with much force. "If I hear you say thank you to me again, I'll punish you."
Ye Fei placed her hand in his palm, stared intently at him, and said, "Okay, I won't say anything."
"You've just activated your second spiritual root. Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
"Aside from feeling very tired, I don't have any other discomfort," Ye Fei replied obediently.
Li Yuan's eyes were gentle as he leaned down and kissed her softly on the face: "Sleep now, I will stay with you until you fall asleep."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei closed her eyes.
She fell asleep in no time, and her breathing became more and more steady.
After carefully covering her with the blanket, Li Yuan turned and left the room.
As soon as Li Yuan stepped out of Ye Fei's dormitory courtyard, he saw Huang Rongyu standing against the courtyard wall. Huang Rongyu stared at Li Yuan expressionlessly, exuding an unusually low pressure.
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning noticeably colder as he stared at Huang Rongyu: "What are you doing here?"
"What is your relationship with Xiao Fei?" Huang Rongyu asked in a cool tone.
"Didn't you already see it during the Trial Month?"
Li Yuan despises Huang Rongyu.
The reason for the disgust was not because he was a light-elemental spirit master, but because his every move was almost identical to that of the god-king Jingque who died a thousand years ago.
He and Jingque were lifelong nemesis; he poisoned him with the Flame Poison, and in return, he caused Jingque's death in the Nine Heavens.
Even if he is dead, the possibility of reincarnation cannot be ruled out—moreover, the divine artifact of Mirror Palace, the Seven-Stringed Zither of Fu Guang, actually recognized him as its master, which seems to confirm the fact that "Huang Rongyu" is "Mirror Palace".
Li Yuan was beginning to have murderous thoughts, but reason told him that he could not act rashly.
If he kills him here, it will attract the attention of the humans, and... Fei'er doesn't want anything to happen to her teammate.
...
Huang Rongyu stepped forward and stared directly into Li Yuan's eyes. The two boys were about the same height, and although they were looking at each other at eye level, the atmosphere was tense and turbulent.
After a long pause, Huang Rongyu said, word by word, "Perhaps I should ask you, who are you? What is your purpose in approaching Xiao Fei?"
Li Yuan's eyes were cold, and his tone was indifferent: "You are not worthy to know my identity."
Upon hearing this, Huang Rongyu felt a strange ripple in her heart.
The tone seemed familiar... Where else had he heard someone say that before?
"Moreover, words like 'close' are too offensive." Li Yuan glared at Huang Rongyu, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Fei'er and I are deeply in love, and I hope that Your Highness the Third Prince will not do anything as foolish as interfering in our relationship."
