Fang Qingyue frowned, raised her head slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Chengfeng smiled widely, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "A few days ago, Shen Yuhan defeated our village."
"I thought I would be a bandit for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect him to recruit me, let me go to the capital with him, arranged a good job for me, and even said I had the chance to become a general."
Fang Qingyue's heart tightened when she heard this.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and her hands paused for a moment: "General?"
Li Chengfeng smiled even more proudly and continued, "Yes, Shen Yuhan saw my ability and said I was a rare talent. He planned to take me to the capital to make merit."
"All my years of fighting and killing have not been in vain this time. I finally have my day."
When he said this, he looked a little proud, as if he had already seen himself being granted a title and appointed as a general in the court.
Fang Qingyue's heart sank.
She knew that Li Chengfeng was not a simple person. If he was really recruited by Shen Yuhan, he would definitely have a place in the court in the future.
But she didn't care about these things. Instead, she was worried that his close contact with Shen Yuhan in the future would make her secluded life more complicated.
Li Chengfeng glanced at Fang Qingyue, a trace of sincerity flashing in his eyes: "Miss Fang, you see, you and I are destined to be together, why don't you come to the capital with me?"
"If I, Li Chengfeng, become a general in the future, I will definitely make sure you live a good life."
Fang Qingyue sighed inwardly when she heard this, and immediately refused in a cold voice: "Master Li, I have no intention of leaving here."
"If you want to go to the capital, that's your business. Please don't mention such ridiculous things anymore."
Her tone was cold, leaving no room for Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, then a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and his tone was a little aggrieved: "Miss Fang, are you really so ungrateful?"
"I came down the mountain for you, after all, to bring you game, and you don't even show me any mercy?"
Fang Qingyue remained unmoved and said calmly, "Boss Li, I have never promised anything."
"If you have anything else to do, you don't have to come again."
Seeing her determination, Li Chengfeng felt helpless and sighed, "Well, since you don't want to, I won't force you."
"But don't worry, I, Li Chengfeng, will repay the favor I owe you one day."
After saying that, he packed up his things reluctantly and finally got up and left.
Fang Qingyue stood in the yard, watching Li Chengfeng's back gradually disappearing into the distance, feeling inexplicably heavy in her heart.
Li Chengfeng's words were still echoing in my ears, such as "go to the capital" and "become a general".
She originally thought that all this had nothing to do with her, but once the name Shen Yuhan appeared, all the pain that had been buried began to erode her heart bit by bit.
She gently touched her chest, her heart seemed to be tightly gripped by some invisible force, and a feeling of suffocation rose in her throat.
Thinking of Shen Yuhan, her heart, which had long been closed, felt pain again.
During those years, the various entanglements between them seemed like a destined nightmare that could not be shaken off.
"Sister..." The voice of the blind girl Fang Chiyue suddenly came from inside the house, and the sound of light footsteps accompanied her as she walked gently towards him. Although she could not see her sister's expression, she could sense Fang Qingyue's emotions at the moment.
Fang Qingyue leaned against the door frame and whispered, "Chiyue, I'm fine."
I shouldn't have made my sister worry, but the pain in my heart couldn't be ignored.
Fang Chiyue shook her head gently, walked to her side, held her sister's hand, and frowned slightly: "Sister, don't lie to me. Are you like this because of Shen Yuhan?"
"You've been avoiding him for so many days, but he still came..."
Fang Qingyue's heart tightened again when she heard the name. She lowered her eyes, her expression slightly gloomy: "Chi Yue, you don't understand. I left him to completely cut off all this."
"He thought I was dead, and that was the best outcome for both of us."
Fang Chiyue sighed softly: "But sister, how many fake deaths in the world can really end everything?"
"Since you still can't let it go, why bother hiding it from him? Why not tell him clearly..."
"No!" Fang Qingyue interrupted immediately, her eyes calm, "I can't go back into that vortex."
"Chi Yue, I used up all my strength to escape from his world. Whether it's faking my death or living in seclusion, there's no turning back on this path."
Fang Chiyue was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "But what if he finds you?"
"You can hide for a while, but can you hide forever?"
Fang Qingyue's eyes flickered slightly, but she calmed down immediately and said softly, "I'll take it one step at a time."
"As long as he doesn't find out my identity, my life can continue to be peaceful."
Fang Chiyue nodded. Although she was still uneasy, she knew that her sister would never change her decision easily.
She patted her sister's hand gently and advised gently: "Sister, no matter what decision you make, I will be with you."
Fang Qingyue forced a smile, but she was still feeling depressed.
She didn't want to recall the pain of the past, and she didn't want to fall into Shen Yuhan's world again, but it seemed as if fate was deliberately against her, and everything was approaching her.
On the other side, Li Chengfeng came out of Fang Qingyue's house with a slightly lost look on his face.
He has always been full of confidence, but today he repeatedly ran into obstacles in front of Fang Qingyue, and the pride in his heart seemed to be suppressed.
He slowly walked back to his temporary camp. On the way, Fang Qingyue's cold look kept lingering in his mind.
