rvants in the inner and outer courtyards wore different clothes, and usually, people from the outer courtyard weren't allowed to enter the inner courtyard."Little sister, it seems that inner courtyard...Crane Ming's hesitation made Silver Moon Princess think he was uninterested in her. Her heart shattered instantly. She looked at him with tears in her eyes and nodded sadly, "Alright, I understand your answer. Rest assured, from now on, I, Silver Moon, will not bother you anymore!" She turned away, heartbroken. Even though her confession failed and she was heartbroken, at least she had given herself an explanation. She didn't regret it.

"Yue'er!" He hadn't expected her to misunderstand. Thinking about how she would leave and never speak to him again, he rushed over in a panic, taking three steps in two, and grabbed her hand.

"If you don't like me, why are you holding onto me" Yin Yue, whose face was already covered in tears, looked at him. There was confusion in her eyes, but more importantly, there was heartbreak and sadness. He had no interest in her, so why did he stop her

The moment he saw her tear-filled eyes, He's heart suddenly clenched. He finally knew what he truly felt; it didn't matter that she was a princess. As long as he loved her, even if she were the moon in the sky, he would find a way to pluck her down.

"No! Ayu, I have feelings for you!"

With a sweeping arm, he pulled her into his embrace and did the bravest thing of his life: He leaned down and kissed her!

Princess Yin Yue was stunned, surprised by his sudden boldness. Yet, she slowly closed her eyes and responded passionately.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, even the wind held its breath within the strands of hair interwoven between them...

After Xiao Yuge left the Wen family manor, she intentionally went to an open area. She leaped and landed on a rooftop. Then, pretending her foot slipped, she let out a cry and fell backwards!

As expected, the masked man in black suddenly appeared, catching her with a swift movement. With a gentle spin, they were both back on the ground. Almost as soon as they landed, Xiao Yuge reached out and pulled off his mask. However, what appeared before her was a face crisscrossed with countless scars!

But she still recognized him from that face: "Wind brother!" It really was him!

"I am not, you have the wrong person!"

The mask was snatched back and placed on the face once more, and a voice, as though branded by fire, immediately echoed. The man in black stood up and prepared to leave.

"Feng Ge!"

Xiao Yu Ge moved swiftly, blocking his path: "I've got the right person! It's you, Feng gege, you're not dead! That's great! You're alive, why didn't you come look for me"

"I'm not!" The man in black turned away, unwilling to meet her gaze.

"No! It's you! You are Fengge, last time, at Zhaojiacun, I felt you were familiar, but I didn't expect it to be you. You saved me again and again, I want to know who you are."

"So, you did that on purpose" He seemed to have figured it out. Her martial arts skills weren't weak; there was no reason for her to fall from the top like that.

"So, Feng Gege, have you been secretly protecting me all along" Xiao Yuge pinched herself hard, tears welling up in her eyes. The pain was real. The next second, she threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably: "Feng Gege, you're clearly still alive, why didn't you tell me Do you know how much I hurt every time I returned to Yaowanggu I secretly built a tomb for both of you there, always hoping for a miracle..."

As for acting, in this lifetime, she is truly a master of her craft.

"Ge'er!" After all, she was a woman he had deeply loved. How could Ning Feng bear to push her away

After she had calmed down, Xiao Yu Ge asked him why he was able to escape death. In fact, it was all a plan between her and Ye Gege. She knew this of course, and naturally, she wouldn't tell him.

In this life, Ning Feng has experienced the destruction of his family and ended up like this. It could be considered karma. He shouldn't have any further interactions with him, but he still has other uses right now.

Qian Si Chen already knows her identity, so her wedding with Qian Ting Xuan is likely to be off. She doesn't mind, but she's worried that Qian Ting Xuan won't accept it and might do something irrational.

If she could use someone else to kill with a borrowed knife and have Ning Feng deal with Qian Si Chen, things would be much simpler. After all, they had a deep blood feud between them. Letting them fight each other, no matter who died in the end, would be a cause for celebration for her.

This is the real reason why she wanted to lure Ning Feng out!

Ning Feng truthfully told Xiao Yuge that he was now working for Qianji Pavilion, and this time, he had come to Ruoshui City only with the permission of the pavilion master. He wanted to secretly assassinate Qian Sicheng and also secretly protect Xiao Yuge.

"Wind Brother, are you really going to kill Qian Sicheng" Xiao Yuge wanted to know how determined he was to kill Qian Sicheng.

"The emperor executed my entire family, including nine generations. This is a grudge that cannot be shared with heaven and earth! A thousand thoughts torment me as my brother and sister are now neither human nor ghost. How can we let him get away with it!" Ning Feng's eyes beneath the mask were filled with hatred, devoid of any past fraternal affection.

He slowly looked at Xiao Yuge: "Yuge, I know you've always liked him. So, are you trying to stop me"

Xiao Yu's song gently shook her head, reaching out to take off the mask from his face once more. She then gently touched the crisscrossing scars. "It must have been very painful back then, right"

"Ugh, I look terrible..." Ning Feng instinctively turned his face away, not wanting her to see him like this. He used to be a graceful and handsome young man, but now... this ghastly appearance sometimes scared even himself, let alone her.

Xiao Yu sang softly, gently cupped his face, and looked at him again: "No, Feng Ge isn't ugly. In my heart, you'll always be the Feng Ge who protects me." She wasn't a heartless woman, but she was willing to do everything a heartless woman could do, including saying all the sweet nothings men wanted to hear.

“Song...” Faced with his beloved woman, Ning Feng’s eyes turned red. He wanted to tell her so much—that he had survived for two reasons: revenge, and because of her. Even if they couldn't be together, he wanted to protect her for life. After all, in this lifetime, he owed her too much.

"Wind Elder Brother, Qian Si Chen has changed, he's not the Si Chen brother I used to know anymore. He threatened me, saying I can't marry the Prince, just like back then when he threatened me not to agree to marry you. Yesterday, he almost..." Xiao Yu Ge's words were cut short, a tear rolling down her cheek silently. She knew how to manipulate a man's sympathy, especially this man who adored her.

As expected, Ning Feng's anger flared even hotter upon hearing this: "I knew it! He must have been the one scheming behind the scenes back then! Damn it! He's already secretly gotten close with Xiao Yu Fu, why would he want to stop you from marrying me!" Perhaps being unable to marry her was his lifelong regret.

Listening to him no longer calling Xiao Yufu gently as "Fu'er," Xiao Yuge knew that his heart was probably filled with hatred for Xiao Yufu as well. If it wasn't for Xiao Yufu intentionally revealing their siblings' whereabouts to the Empress, the Emperor wouldn't have ordered Chu Tianqi to lead people to capture them, forcing them to jump off a cliff. of appearance, she was also top-notch. Her age was similar to her senior brother's. If the two were to fall for each other, it would be a good match. 。To his surprise, He Ming shook his head in alar...
