Just then, Leng Wuxin suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
When they turned around, they were surprised to find that the man had gotten out of bed at some point.
Originally, Zhuque was a little sullen because of Cangyun, but now she couldn't care less about it and hurriedly ran to support Leng Wuxin, her face full of worry.
Then she frowned and said, "Senior brother, you absolutely mustn't push yourself now. You should go back and lie down."
Faced with the sudden concern from his junior sister whom he had not seen for a long time, Leng Wuxin was actually a little uncomfortable for a moment. An unnatural expression flashed across his face, and he subconsciously maintained a polite distance from Zhuque.
Li Chang'an keenly noticed his subtle movement.
Suddenly, Li Chang'an felt a surge of emotions.
Perhaps this is what people often refer to as "things have changed, but people are no longer the same".
Even an outsider like her was moved after reading it, let alone Zhuque, who was involved in the incident.
Zhuque naturally sensed something, but while feeling somewhat disappointed, she had to admit that Leng Wuxin's actions were reasonable.
Their relationship was indeed very close, so close that it transcended the distinction between men and women.
But time takes its toll, and they could never find that pure feeling they once had again.
Leng Wuxin seemed to notice that the person beside her seemed a little down, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Why are you spacing out again? Why do you still have the same problem as when you were a kid?"
As he spoke, he pretended to reach out and gently poke Zhuque's forehead.
However, wherever he went, his fingertips would involuntarily bead with sweat.
"No, it's nothing..."
As Zhuque spoke, she gave an unnatural twitch at the corner of her mouth, then gave Leng Wuxin a somewhat awkward smile.
"It's good that you're alright. Well... take good care of yourself. I... I'm leaving."
Leng Wuxin suddenly changed the subject, her tone carrying an indelible bitterness.
"Senior brother..."
Zhuque wanted to say something more, but for a moment, although a thousand words were in her heart, her throat was so dry that she couldn't utter a single word.
My eyes suddenly felt a little sore.
Leng Wuxin turned his head, a rare bright color appearing on his face. He looked intently at Zhuque and said, "Silly girl, why are you crying? I am already very content that we can meet again in this life. If I find an opportunity in the future, I will definitely tell you everything that has happened over the years. Don't think your senior brother is annoying then!"
Upon hearing this, Suzaku, who had initially managed to hold back her tears, found them falling uncontrollably like beads from a broken string.
In the end, Suzaku didn't try to stop her anymore. She just nodded firmly and then silently told herself that that day would come.
Although the two had been separated for several years, Leng Wuxin was still able to guess his junior sister's thoughts immediately. Knowing that there was no point in saying anything more, he turned to look at Li Chang'an.
He nodded slightly to Li Chang'an and then said, "I am very grateful for Your Highness's magnanimity in dealing with today's matter. I, Leng Wuxin, really have nothing to repay you with, but I would like to offer a word of advice: Your Highness should hide that silver spear from now on, otherwise the Dark Night Pavilion will not stop."
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an's heart stirred, and he pressed his advantage by asking, "Then can you tell me what the secret of this silver spear is? Why is the Dark Night Pavilion so determined to obtain it?"
However, after hearing her question, Leng Wuxin showed a hint of apology on his face, and then said seriously, "I'm afraid I can't tell you that. Please forgive me. Now that I have joined the Dark Night Pavilion, I will not do anything to betray the Pavilion Master. I have already said what I need to say. As for whether you believe me or not, I believe you can make your own decision."
His words were neither humble nor arrogant, yet sincere. Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an could not press further and could only nod slightly.
In fact, this encounter with Leng Wuxin made Li Chang'an change some of his views on the man.
He is indeed a very measured and principled person.
Although his identity as an assassin might lead people to believe he is a cold-blooded and ruthless monster, in reality, despite his name being Wuxin (meaning "heartless"), he is more insightful than anyone else.
Putting everything else aside, what Li Chang'an admired most about Leng Wuxin was his loyalty.
This loyalty was not for the Dark Night Pavilion, nor for its leader, but for his own principles, the choices he made, and the people, things, or events he endorsed.
"Okay, thanks for reminding me."
Li Chang'an also nodded at Leng Wuxin.
Immediately, the person vanished in a flash, as if they had never been there at all.
Zhuque still gazed at the figure that was long gone, her eyes filled with an indescribable sense of loss.
Seeing this, Li Chang'an didn't try to comfort her too much. He simply reached out and gently patted her shoulder, hoping to give her strength and help her get out of her predicament as soon as possible.
After a long while, Zhu Que sighed deeply, then concealed the sadness in her heart and her expression returned to normal.
"Let's go back, back to the General's Mansion, okay?"
Zhuque turned to look at Li Chang'an and spoke.
"good."
Looking at the woman's face, Li Chang'an couldn't help but smile at her.
This was something she had been eagerly anticipating countless times in just a few days, and now it had finally come true.
Afterwards, Li Chang'an and Zhuque went to the General's Mansion together.
Just as they reached the courtyard gate, the two ran into Chun Tao.
She was holding a large bouquet of flowers in her arms, which made her already pretty face look even more radiant.
"Madam! Sister Zhuque? You...you're back!"
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Chun Tao blushed with excitement.
Having not seen her for many days, Zhuque felt extremely happy and suddenly realized that she also missed her younger sister, with whom she got along very well. So she smiled at Chuntao and said, "Did you pick so many flowers to welcome me?"
Before the other party could reply, Li Chang'an, who was standing to the side, also laughed and said, "In my opinion, that's definitely the case. This girl is the most considerate!"
Chun Tao was also easily embarrassed. Hearing the other person praise her, two pretty blushes immediately appeared on her face. Then she said somewhat shyly, "I, I saw that the gladiolus in the backyard was quite...pretty, so I wanted to pick some and put it, put it in the house. It just so happens that Sister Zhuque is back too, so...let's just add some festive cheer!"
