"Actually... I don't know how to say it either." Wen Longxiu pouted.
Wen Longting was overjoyed. Since breaking off her engagement with Situ Jiannan, her older sister had never mentioned the engagement. In addition, having learned from the previous experience, her parents did not dare to ask her about it. They even turned down all the marriage proposals that came to their door.
It's good that my sister has taken the initiative to admit it. No matter who it is, as long as their character is decent, my parents will definitely support them.
"Sister, this is a good thing. Tell us and we'll help you come up with ideas."
Wen Longxiu remained silent for a while. It is said that those involved are often confused while bystanders see things clearly. Well, let's hear what these people have to say.
"I don't know if I'm in love with him, but my heart races when I see him, and I think about him occasionally... I don't know if it's out of gratitude or something else..."
Gratitude? Wen Longting seemed to be pondering something. Something flashed through her mind, something she wanted to grasp but couldn't, when Shen Miaoqing's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"This is called longing day and night, Ah Xiu, you must have fallen for that person."
Wen Longxiu was slightly taken aback. He liked it? But his identity…
"So who exactly is that person?"
Bai Mengfan asked curiously, while Wen Longxiu clenched her teeth.
"That person's identity is special... I can't say." Wen Longxiu really didn't dare to say it. After all, she knew in her heart that there was no future for the two of them, and she might even mislead someone else and cause irreparable consequences.
"Does that man have a wife and children?"
Wen Longxiu shook her head.
"Is that person engaged?"
"That person doesn't like you?"
Wen Longxiu shook her head again, "Stop guessing. Even if I like him and he likes me, we can't possibly be together..."
If she causes him to go astray, she will feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Seeing that Wen Longxiu was unwilling to say more, they didn't press her for details. Bai Mengfan returned to Leng Yuelan's side, but no matter what methods she used, Leng Yuelan wouldn't wake up.
"Why aren't they awake yet?" Bai Mengfan asked疑惑地. "Should we go out now and let Dean Shen and Senior Sister come and check on them?"
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Miaoqing refused without hesitation, "Mengfan, I know you're eager to save people, but have you ever thought about why Sect Master Leng, who has been missing for so many days, would appear in a forbidden area that even my father has never been to? Besides, there's chaos outside right now, and we have wounded people here."
"Even if you ask my father, he wouldn't know. The only one who would know is definitely the Dean!"
Shen Miaoqing said decisively.
“I think Miaoqing makes a good point. Let’s wait until things calm down outside before we go out and talk to the dean about this,” Wen Longxiu said.
Bai Mengfan blushed immediately and looked at them apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't think of that."
About fifteen minutes later, the sounds of fighting outside gradually faded into the distance, and several people came out of the courtyard.
"Young Miss, Second Young Miss!"
An Yi stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Who are they?"
“This is An Yi, my brother’s bodyguard,” Wen Longting said. Bai Mengfan nodded, feeling a little envious. It’s so nice to have a brother to protect you.
The ground was a scene of devastation, with severed limbs and dismembered bodies visible. The earth was stained crimson, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.
Ji Jiuying and Wen Chuyu were nowhere to be seen outside; the dean and Xiao Jiu's friend were still fighting with the two.
Shen Qingqiu and Jin Chenzi were still there. Shen Qingqiu was checking if there were any survivors. Once he found one, he would call over several disciples behind him to rescue the person. Jin Chenzi was muttering something to himself as he looked at the corpses scattered on the ground.
Wen Longxiu pursed her lips and stopped looking at him.
"father!"
"Vice Dean Shen."
Shen Qingqiu looked up and saw the group of people walking towards him. His gaze fell on Wen Longxiu's arm. "Axiu, are you alright?"
"It's alright, thank you Dean Shen."
"Father, you don't even ask me how I am," Shen Miaoqing said resentfully.
Shen Qingqiu glared at Shen Miaoqing, and the others covered their mouths and chuckled.
"Father, an unexpected person just appeared in the courtyard where we were."
"who?"
"Sect Leader Leng."
Shen Qingqiu stood up abruptly. "Is that really true?"
The group nodded, their serious expressions suggesting they weren't joking.
“Vice Dean Shen, and I’ve noticed a very strange phenomenon. Master’s pulse is normal, but he just won’t wake up, as if he’s asleep,” Bai Mengfan said, puzzled.
"Let's go take a look."
Shen Qingqiu quickly entered the room, took Leng Yuelan's hand and examined it, his brow furrowing slightly. Why was the missing Leng Yuelan in the forbidden area? Did Old Man Yu know about this? If not, then who attacked Leng Yuelan?
After a while.
Putting her hand down, Bai Mengfan asked impatiently, "Vice Dean Shen, how is my master?"
Shen Qingqiu shook his head. He decided to ask the dean about this later; perhaps he would know the answer.
From the forbidden area to the gates of Star Academy, the road was littered with corpses and blood, a truly horrifying sight.
"Qingchen, thank you for this." Ji Jiuying said. If it weren't for Ye Qingchen's repeated help, they wouldn't have been able to force these people to the academy gate so quickly.
Ye Qingchen's expression darkened. "No need to thank me. I came only for you, not to help the academy."
Ji Jiuying paused, then finished off the person in front of her with a single sword strike. Turning around, she happened to meet Ye Qingchen's gentle eyes, which revealed love, affection, and a hint of annoyance. This made Ji Jiuying's heart skip a beat. Why did he show her that kind of expression? The person in front of her didn't seem to be the Ye Qingchen she knew.
Ji Jiuying lowered her eyes and smiled, "Qingchen helped me and the academy, so it's all the same."
“It’s different.” Ye Qingchen stared straight at her.
In her eyes, Ye Qingchen had always been a gentle and refined gentleman. She had never seen him so serious in all the time she had known him.
Ji Jiuying chuckled twice, "It's different. We're not only business partners, but also good friends!"
What if he doesn't want to be friends anymore?
A hint of disappointment flashed across Ye Qingchen's eyes, but he smiled gently, "If Xiao Jiu says so, then so be it."
Soon, with the combined efforts of everyone, the rogue cultivator was forced out of Star Academy. Ji Jiuying took the opportunity to set up a defensive array, and the war stopped at that moment.
When Ji Jiuying returned to the forbidden area, she happened to see Feng Yan being sent flying by Hei Xiangling's palm. Feng Luo quickly stepped forward to catch him, looking at Hei Xiangling with hostility. If it weren't for this woman, Yu Bugui would not have been his match at all.
That group of good-for-nothings had all left, leaving only him and Feng Yan. He couldn't help but glance at Ji Jiuying, who was walking towards them.
Feng Luo glanced at Feng Yan and hatched a plan.
"How dare you bully my fourth brother! I'll kill you!" Feng Luo put the object in Feng Yan's hand on the ground, unleashed his spiritual power, and rushed towards Hei Xiangling and the others.
