"Feng girl?"
Feng Che spoke.
Feng Qingxue immediately snapped out of her daze, her expression somewhat awkward: "Second Master Feng, you were looking for me?"
Feng Che nodded, and as he raised his hand, the Guardian Qilin floated in mid-air in his palm.
"This is your protective unicorn."
Feng Qingxue looked at Hu Xinlin, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Little Ninth Sister has come out of the secret realm?"
Feng Che responded in a low voice, and with a gentle push of his finger, the Guardian Qilin flew towards Feng Qingxue's direction.
Feng Qingxue reached out and took the Heart-Protecting Scale, then looked at Feng Che, "How is Little Ninth Sister? Is she at the academy now?"
Feng Che: "She is fine. She is not at the academy. I came here specifically to thank you on her behalf."
Feng Qingxue smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I probably would have lost all my cultivation!"
"It was nothing. Now that the Heart-Protecting Qilin has been delivered, I shall take my leave!" Feng Che said expressionlessly, about to depart.
"Wait, wait a minute."
Feng Che turned around and looked at Feng Qingxue with a puzzled expression, but Feng Qingxue couldn't bring herself to say what she wanted to say.
"N-It's alright now."
Feng Che paused for a moment, then said, "I'll take you back."
A hint of surprise flashed across Feng Qingxue's eyes, clearly not expecting Feng Che to offer to give her a ride. She nodded as she came to her senses.
They walked in silence. Feng Qingxue watched the figure walking ahead of her, a slight smile playing on her lips. Although they didn't say much, the feeling was really good, and she felt like she was one step closer to him.
Just thinking about the future... a trace of sadness flashed across Feng Qingxue's eyes. This time it was because of the Heart-Protecting Qilin, but what about next time? Will there be no next time...?
She is the next head of the Feng family. As long as she leaves Blue Star, the Feng family will definitely worry about her marriage!
Suddenly!
Feng Qingxue was so engrossed in her thoughts that her nose bumped directly into a fleshy wall in front of her. Just as she was about to make a sound, Feng Che covered her mouth and slipped into the shadows.
The two were very close together. Feng Qingxue could almost feel his body temperature. There was a faint scent of sandalwood in her nostrils. Her body stiffened slightly, and her face flushed a little in the darkness.
This was the first time she had been so close to him while fully conscious, and a strange feeling stirred within her.
"Don't move."
A deep voice came from behind her, and Feng Qingxue was pulled back to her senses. She nodded slightly to indicate that she would not move. Feng Che then released her and moved away from her. The sandalwood also dissipated, and Feng Che's gaze was directed in one direction.
Feng Qingxue paused for a moment, then followed Feng Che's gaze and saw a familiar figure sneaking out of the sect.
That's... Master! Where is Master going so late at night?
Feng Che glanced at the person beside him, his voice unusually serious: "You go back first."
Feng Qingxue glanced at Feng Che. Why was he following his master? Could it be that his stay at the academy during this time was related to his master?
"You stayed at the academy because of my master?"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to your master. I just want to investigate something."
Feng Che explained, thinking she was just worried about the Moon God. After saying that, he left Feng Qingxue alone and quietly followed the Moon God ahead.
Feng Qingxue looked in the direction he disappeared, her eyes filled with unreadable emotions.
Feng Che looked in the direction Yuehua had gone, which was the Wuwang Peak where Kamakura had previously lived.
Feng Che narrowed his eyes. What was she doing here in the middle of the night?
The Moon Goddess pushed open the gate of Wuwang Peak, went inside, and entered the bedroom. She opened the painting on the wall, sat down in front of it, poured two cups of hot tea, placed one in front of the painting, and drank the other herself.
"Kamakura, tell me, why are you so foolish? Becoming a god is good, but how many people can actually ascend successfully? What's wrong with staying in this celestial realm and being a superior being?"
Thinking of something, Yuehua gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Do you remember? Sixteen years ago today, those heartless words you said to me... So many years have passed, yet they are still vivid in my mind. I still can't understand how someone could suddenly change so quickly, saying they no longer love you..."
At this point, Yuehua choked up, a trace of sorrow flashing in her eyes: "Until later, I found a hairpin in your drawer. I knew very well that it wasn't mine..."
Feng Che, lurking in the shadows, grasped a crucial clue: Kamakura and Yuehua's sudden annulment of their engagement was due to another woman, and this woman was very likely the key to their investigation of the Soul-Locking Needle.
"who!"
At this moment, Yuehua's gaze turned cold instantly, and Feng Che frowned. Had he been discovered?
Just as he was about to leave, someone emerged from the shadows. Feng Che's eyes flickered slightly—it was her! What was she doing here?
"Master, it's me."
When Yuehua saw the figure at the door, her face was full of displeasure, but her killing intent dissipated.
"Qingxue, did you follow your master?" Yuehua's voice was cold, and anyone could tell that she was not in a good mood.
"No, no, I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk and saw Master. I thought you were also having trouble sleeping and came out for a walk. I wanted to call you, but I was afraid of disturbing the other disciples, so I followed you here..."
Yuehua was skeptical when she heard this. If Qingxue was following behind her, how could she not have noticed?
But then he realized that her strength had already reached the Tribulation Transcending stage, so he felt relieved. Perhaps she had been distracted the whole way, so it was normal that he hadn't noticed her.
"Since you're here, why don't you have a word with your master?"
"Okay." Feng Qingxue walked in slowly, but her eyes glanced in a certain direction in the courtyard. Feng Che, who was in the shadows, paused. Could it be that his cultivation had regressed?
Feng Qingxue sat down, and Yuehua poured her a cup of tea. "Qingxue, did you hear what your master said just now?"
As Yuehua spoke, she looked up at the portrait on the wall. Feng Qingxue followed her gaze. Judging from the man's appearance, he was only in his early thirties. He had a handsome face and refined features, and had a certain air of nobility.
“I heard some of it.”
Feng Qingxue answered truthfully, and then asked, "Master, is this the Kamakura God?"
Yuehua sighed softly: "Yes, that is Kamakura!"
Her affair with Kamakura was widely publicized back then. Within the academy, anyone with a little inquiry would know about it, so there was no point in hiding it.
"Master misses him."
Feng Qingxue spoke calmly, but her mind was racing.
“Why should I think about a heartless man? I’m just unwilling to accept it… unwilling to accept that he can just give up on a marriage contract that’s been going on for almost a hundred years…” Yuehua seemed to be complaining to her.
"Kamakura God, has he fallen in love with someone else?" Feng Qingxue carefully observed Yuehua's expression, only to see endless sorrow and resentment in her eyes.
