After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

He took a deep breath and slowly turned his head to the side.

Then, his gaze froze.

A woman was lying face down beside the bed.

She turned her head to the side, rested her head on her arm, and fell into a deep sleep.

Her long, dark hair fell loose, covering half of her small face, revealing only half of her delicate profile.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, still glistening with undried tears, which sparkled in the sunlight streaming through the window.

Soft, even breathing came from her delicate nose, clearly indicating that she was exhausted and fast asleep.

Clouds and moon.

Lin Fengmian looked at her quietly, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.

This little girl must have stayed by my side ever since I was injured, never leaving my side.

The tear stains on her face clearly showed how worried she was.

A tender feeling rose in Lin Fengmian's heart.

Yun Caiyue, this girl who always considered herself the most important person, would rush over to save her without hesitation when she was in the most danger.

This affection is too heavy.

It was so important that Lin Fengmian felt he had no way to repay the debt.

Only...

I will repay you with my body in the future!

Lin Fengmian smiled and raised his hand, gently reaching out to the sleeping little face.

The moment my fingertips touched the warm skin on her cheek—

Yun Caiyue seemed to sense something; her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Those beautiful eyes were initially hazy, carrying the languor and bewilderment of someone just waking up.

But when she clearly saw the face in front of her, smiling at her—

Her beautiful eyes widened instantly!

"Brother Fengmian!"

She gasped and sat bolt upright!

"You're finally awake!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes reddened, and little pearls uncontrollably slid down her exquisitely beautiful face.

One after another, they kept coming.

"Caiyue, why are you crying?"

Lin Fengmian was a little anxious and subconsciously wanted to get up to hug her.

But as soon as he moved, a tearing pain shot through his wounds!

"hiss--!"

He gasped and lay back down.

"Brother Fengmian! Don't move!"

Yun Caiyue was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly raised her aggrieved little face, not even bothering to wipe away her tears, and hurriedly reached out to support him.

Looking at her anxious and frightened appearance, Lin Fengmian's heart softened completely.

He reached out and gently pulled her into his arms.

Yun Caiyue's body stiffened, then softened, and she obediently leaned against him, remaining motionless.

Lin Fengmian lowered his head, resting his chin on the top of her soft hair, inhaling that familiar sweet fragrance, and whispered:

"I'm sorry, Ayazuki, I made you worry."

Yun Caiyue didn't speak, but buried her face in his chest, her shoulders trembling slightly.

A moment later, a muffled sound came from his arms:

"Brother Fengmian is a big idiot..."

Her voice was trembling with tears, soft and sweet, melting Lin Fengmian's heart.

He gently stroked her back and chuckled softly.

"Yeah, I'm a big idiot."

Yun Caiyue lifted her small face from his arms, her beautiful eyes red, and glared at him:

"You...you're not allowed to do this again! Why didn't you tell Caiyue about your Foundation Establishment? Caiyue could protect you, she could give you elixirs...If...if anything happens to you, Caiyue...Caiyue..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.

Lin Fengmian felt a pang of pain in his heart, gently wiped away the tears on her face, and said softly:

"Okay, I promise you. I'll tell you everything I do from now on."

Yun Caiyue looked at him, sniffed, and whispered:

"real?"

"real."

Lin Fengmian nodded, his gaze earnest.

Yun Caiyue then stopped crying and smiled, burying her face back in his arms and gently nuzzling him like a spoiled kitten.

She immediately realized what she was doing, and her pretty face instantly turned red, all the way to her ears.

She quickly broke free from Lin Fengmian's embrace, stood up hurriedly, and avoided looking at him.

"Brother Fengmian...I..."

She stammered, unsure of what to say, twisting the hem of her clothes with her small hands, looking like she had been caught doing something wrong.

Lin Fengmian found it amusing to look at her embarrassed and awkward appearance, but he didn't expose her and just watched her quietly.

After a moment, Yun Caiyue took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, straightened her expression, and said:

"Brother Fengmian, you've really caused a huge commotion this time!"

She paused, her expression becoming more serious:

"Fortunately, I discovered it early and used an array to cover up the aura of this area. Moreover, I had the people of the Colorful Robe Pavilion spread the word that a rare treasure had appeared near the Immortal City, attracting heavenly lightning to temper it."

"You were struck by the heavenly tribulation, your body charred and unrecognizable; no one should have been able to recognize you. Otherwise, who knows how much more trouble it would have caused!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian felt a chill run down his spine.

He nodded slowly, a chill running down his spine.

Having caused such a commotion, being struck by five bolts of heavenly lightning, and then facing that terrifying lightning punishment, he must have been witnessed by countless cultivators.

Those Nascent Soul stage monsters lurking in the shadows might also be watching.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Lin Fengmian understood this principle all too well.

A genius without a background is like a child carrying a gold brick through the market; it will only bring disaster upon them.

He raised his head and looked at Yun Caiyue with gentle and sincere eyes.

"Thank you, Ayazuki."

He reached out and grasped Yun Caiyue's hand, gently squeezing it.

As he held her hand, a sweet feeling welled up in Yun Caiyue's heart, and her blush deepened.

She lowered her head and whispered:

"Brother Fengmian, why are you being so polite with me... Caiyue, Caiyue is willing..."

Looking at her shy and bashful appearance, Lin Fengmian's heart melted completely.

I will definitely repay you with my body in the future!

He silently repeated those words to himself.

But he didn't say it.

After all, Yun Caiyue has always regarded him as her older brother, and if he were to suddenly say something like that, it would probably frighten her.

Let's take it slow...

Just then, a cold glint flashed in Lin Fengmian's eyes!

And that Ye Fan!

That bastard actually launched a sneak attack at the crucial moment when I was undergoing my tribulation!

If it weren't for a bolt of lightning suddenly splitting off from the heavenly tribulation and striking him, he would probably already be...

Lin Fengmian gritted his teeth, his heart filled with murderous intent.

He remembered this grudge.

Once I have stabilized my cultivation, I will definitely take it back myself!

……

at the same time.

The Ye family.

Ye Fan's situation can be described as far from optimistic.

He wasn't as lucky as Lin Fengmian, who had Yun Caiyue appear in time to protect him with pills and formations.

He fled frantically, like a dead dog, and finally managed to escape back to the Ye family.

Upon returning to the family's sacred ground, Ye Fan could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

He spat out a mouthful of black blood and immediately fainted!
