Chapters 948 and 949: Existing to Protect
Xie Qin Gui's exclamation caused Yun Fusang and Mu Jingshen, who were seated, to involuntarily turn their heads to look—
When they saw the familiar girl standing safely before them, the atmosphere in the private room fell silent.
Huang Rongyu stared blankly at the three of them, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Xiao Fei is back, aren't you happy?"
Yun Fusang immediately stood up, looking Ye Fei up and down with an incredulous expression: "You...you're really Xiao Fei?"
Ye Fei smiled without saying a word, simply stretching out her arms towards Yun Fusang.
Unable to contain her emotions, Yun Fusang hugged her tightly, tears streaming down her face: "Idiot! Idiot! Where have you been! We were so worried about you! For the past five years, not a single day has passed that I haven't missed you..."
Ye Fei patted her on the back. Although she was smiling, her eyes were full of sorrow.
"Fusang... I'm so sorry." She took a deep breath, but ultimately didn't reveal what had happened.
Yun Fusang released Ye Fei, looking at her with teary eyes: "Where have you been all these years?"
Ye Fei took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears: "I have become a disciple and will follow my master to cultivate diligently."
"So that means what the Holy Church said five years ago... was all a lie?" Xie Qingui frowned. "Xiao Fei, how did you manage to evade the Holy Church's pursuit?"
"Hmm...it's a complicated story, and I don't really want to bring it up." Ye Fei smiled, her gaze falling on Mu Jingshen, who had been sitting in his seat.
Over the course of five years, this aloof young man has shed his boyish demeanor, and his aura has become even more stern.
At that moment, he met her gaze with a complex expression.
After a while, Mu Jingshen picked up his sword and walked slowly toward Ye Fei, his slender hand drawing the sword from its scabbard.
Xie Qingui and Yun Fusang's expressions changed upon seeing this: "Jing Shen?!"
What is he trying to do?!
Mu Jingshen remained expressionless, his steps never faltering.
Ye Fei was fearless, and simply curled the corners of her lips at Mu Jingshen.
Ultimately, she deceived him in order to conceal her true identity...
Even now, if he were to mercilessly swing the sword meant for slaying demons at her, she would not utter a single complaint.
Huang Rongyu stood silently to the side, her gaze fixed on Mu Jingshen's face.
Mu Jingshen flicked his wrist, and the Shattering Void Sword in his hand suddenly swung towards Ye Fei—
A sharp gust of sword wind swept in, and Ye Fei instinctively closed her eyes.
However, the expected pain did not come from my body.
Ye Fei opened her eyes and saw the cold blade pressed against the skin of her neck.
He...didn't mean to hurt her?
Ye Fei paused for a moment, then turned her gaze to the handsome man in front of her.
Mu Jingshen placed his sword in front of him, his gaze softening as he looked at Ye Fei: "My sword exists only to protect my friends."
"Therefore, I will not use it indiscriminately to kill my friends."
...
The man's voice carried an undeniable firmness.
A light shone in Ye Fei's eyes: "Deep Focus..."
"Welcome back, Xiao Fei." Mu Jingshen raised the corners of his lips and sheathed the Shattered Void Sword.
Xie Qingui and Yun Fusang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this—they were terrified, thinking Jing Shen was really going to…
Huang Rongyu raised her hand, made a fist, and waved it in front of Mu Jingshen, her phoenix eyes filled with laughter: "After all these years, you still haven't changed."
Mu Jingshen also raised his fist and gave him a light tap: "My stance on treating friends will never change."
