Fang Qingyue was secretly anxious. Noticing Li Chengfeng's change, she decided to change her strategy slightly. "Don't you want me to meet Lord Shen?"
Li Chengfeng could only nod, turned around and walked out, feeling unhappy.
The moonlight outside was like water. Shen Yuhan was standing outside the temple gate. His stern expression contrasted with the surrounding night scene, making him look particularly cold and desolate.
"Lord Shen, I want to say a few words to you." Li Chengfeng's voice was low.
Shen Yuhan was slightly startled, then looked up with a smile on his face: "I guess it's because of that little girl?"
"Thank you for saving her, but now that she has been found, you don't have to stay here any longer."
Li Chengfeng spoke every word with a hint of reluctance in his tone.
"Oh?" Shen Yuhan sneered, a hint of sarcasm flashing across his eyes, "It seems that Master Li understands it very well."
Li Chengfeng suppressed his displeasure and said respectfully, "Master Shen, please understand that I will handle this matter. If there is nothing else, please give me some convenience."
"I'll come back later."
Shen Yuhan downplayed it with a hint of ridicule in his tone, then turned around and left with his men, leaving Li Chengfeng alone.
Li Chengfeng slowly walked back to the small temple with a forced smile on his face. Although it was not sincere, it was obvious that one could not detect too much emotional fluctuation.
As soon as he entered the room and saw Fang Qingyue was safe and sound, the displeasure in his eyes instantly dissipated a little.
"Qingyue, Shen Yuhan is gone."
There was a hint of relief in Li Chengfeng's tone, as if a huge stone had been lifted off his shoulders.
His eyes were gentle, and his concern for Fang Qingyue was self-evident.
Fang Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Shen Yuhan had left.
She leaned against the wall, enduring the pain in her wrist, with a faint smile on her face, and nodded slightly: "Then we can only see each other next time."
Cheng Qingyuan, who was standing aside, saw that Fang Qingyue's expression was still calm, and her eyes were full of concern.
He walked forward and asked in a low voice: "Qingyue, are you really okay?"
"They were so rough just now, I was worried you were hurt."
Fang Qingyue looked at Cheng Qingyuan's anxious face and felt a little warm in her heart.
Despite having experienced this thrilling disaster, she did not want others to worry about her anymore, especially Cheng Qingyuan. She did not want to implicate innocent people.
She shook her head gently, her tone gentle but firm: "I'm fine, just some minor injuries, I'll be fine after I go back and recuperate."
She spoke lightly, as if the thrilling scene just now was just a passing cloud, but her wrist was already faintly red, obviously having been hit by a lot of force.
"Miss Fang, all this... is because of me."
Li Chengfeng suddenly lowered his head, with guilt in his voice.
Complex emotions surged in his heart; this unexpected disaster was obviously caused by him.
If it weren't for his subordinates acting on their own, Fang Qingyue would never have experienced such a disaster.
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered this misfortune. I... I'm really sorry."
Li Chengfeng's tone was filled with self-blame. He looked at Fang Qingyue's cold face, his heart filled with regret.
Fang Qingyue raised her eyes and glanced at him indifferently, but there was not much emotion on her face.
She knew that Li Chengfeng had no ill intentions, but his presence always brought unnecessary trouble.
And right now, the most important thing is that she must not let Shen Yuhan know that she is still alive.
"Mr. Li, there's no need to mention this matter anymore."
Fang Qingyue's tone was calm, and her eyes were so peaceful that it seemed as if there were no ripples at all.
"The matter has passed, and I don't want to pursue it any further."
"It's just that from now on, it's better for you and me to keep a distance."
When Li Chengfeng heard this, his heart sank slightly.
He originally thought that by saving Fang Qingyue this time, he might be able to use this opportunity to bring the two closer together.
But now, her words were like an invisible wall, completely separating them.
His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of bitterness flashed across his face.
"Miss Fang...why do you always keep me at a distance?"
Li Chengfeng's tone was filled with confusion.
He looked at Fang Qingyue's cold face, and the bitterness in his heart gradually turned into unwillingness. "I never thought of hurting you, I just wanted to protect you."
"Mr. Li." Fang Qingyue shook her head slightly, a hint of fatigue in her eyes.
"There is no need to get entangled between you and me."
"I just want to live a peaceful life now and don't want to be involved in any disputes anymore."
Although her voice was soft, it was filled with unquestionable determination.
She knew in her heart that Li Chengfeng's concern would only bring her more trouble.
Moreover, Shen Yuhan's shadow still hovered over her life, and she must not let Li Chengfeng get involved again.
Li Chengfeng was speechless for a moment. He looked at Fang Qingyue's resolute expression, feeling mixed emotions.
Obviously, the woman in front of him made his heart beat fast, but her calmness was like an insurmountable barrier that kept him out forever.
Seeing this, Cheng Qingyuan walked forward and gently supported Fang Qingyue, saying in a gentle tone: "Qingyue, it's getting late, let me take you back to the yard to rest."
Fang Qingyue nodded slightly and said softly, "That's good. I'm indeed a little tired tonight."
Cheng Qingyuan then called a few soldiers, and the group escorted Fang Qingyue slowly towards her residence.
Li Chengfeng followed silently, suppressing endless complex emotions in his heart.
He wanted to do more for Fang Qingyue, but her indifference made it impossible for him to do so.
He was unwilling, but he had no choice.
The night breeze blew gently, and the moonlight shone through the treetops onto the ground, making the shadows of the group of people look very long.
