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

Lin Fengmian quickly withdrew his sword energy and concealed his aura.

The door was pushed open, and a figure in colorful clothes walked in.

It was the moon amidst the clouds.

She saw Lin Fengmian sitting upright on the bed, her cherry-like lips pursed, and she quickly walked over:

"Brother Fengmian, why are you up again? Didn't I tell you to lie down properly?"

As she spoke, her eyes reddened again.

Seeing her angry and anxious expression, Lin Fengmian's heart softened, and he quickly lay back down.

"Okay, okay, I'll lie down. Caiyue, don't be angry."

Yun Caiyue nodded in satisfaction, took out a small jade bottle from her bosom, and handed it to him.

"Brother Fengmian, this is a healing pill I made. Please take it quickly."

Lin Fengmian took the jade bottle, uncorked it, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance immediately filled the air.

He glanced at the plump, round pills in the bottle and felt a surge of emotion.

Each of these pills is of excellent quality; if placed outside, they would be worth at least several thousand spirit stones.

"Caiyue, these pills must be very precious, right?"

He asked softly.

Yun Caiyue shook her head and looked at him earnestly:

"It's alright, Brother Fengmian. Getting better soon is more important than anything else."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened again.

Looking at her like that, Lin Fengmian's heart melted completely.

Who wouldn't love a younger sister like that?

He reached out and gently took Yun Caiyue's hand, saying softly:

"Okay, I'll listen to you and focus on recovering."

Yun Caiyue blushed slightly as he held her hand, but she didn't pull away, only letting out a soft "Mmm".

Just then—

"Miss."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Both of them were taken aback.

Yun Caiyue quickly withdrew her hand, stood up, straightened her clothes, and said softly:

"Come in."

The door opened, and a maid entered, bowing to Yun Caiyue and saying:

"Miss, there is a woman outside requesting an audience. She says her name is Xiao Xiyue, a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, and that her junior brother is here."

The words fell.

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched suddenly.

Xiao Xiyue?!

That crazy woman?!

How did she manage to get here?!

Upon hearing the maid's words, Yun Caiyue was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lin Fengmian, a complex emotion flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She pursed her lips, her voice softening slightly, carrying a hint of jealousy:

"Brother Fengmian, it seems it's not just Caiyue who cares about you. Even the senior sister from the Hehuan Sect has followed you here..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian chuckled softly at her expression, which showed that she was clearly jealous but was trying to remain calm.

This little girl is actually quite cute when she's jealous.

He shook his head, waved his hand, and said directly:

"not see!"

His tone was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Yun Caiyue's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but she quickly suppressed it and nodded as if nothing had happened.

She turned to look at the maid and said softly:

"Okay, let's do as Brother Fengmian says."

The maid nodded and left.

……

Front gate of the alchemy shop.

Xiao Xiyue was standing outside the door, her beautiful face showing a mixture of anxiety and trepidation.

She was still wearing a veil today, and her moon-white dress shimmered faintly in the sunlight, making her figure appear even more exquisite.

But those beautiful eyes that were exposed outside were constantly looking into the doorway, showing no trace of their usual aloofness and arrogance.

Looking at her like this, Liu Yayin sighed inwardly.

A moment later, the maid pushed open the door and came out.

Xiao Xiyue quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously:

"How is it? What...what did my junior brother say?"

The maid glanced at her, gave a slight bow, and spoke in a flat yet distant tone:

"I'm sorry, my young lady said she can't see me."

"What?!"

Xiao Xiyue's pretty face turned pale instantly, then flushed bright red!

She bit her lip, a flash of annoyance in her eyes, and her voice rose several decibels:

"Why is he missing?! Could it be that you've imprisoned my junior brother?!"

"Does the Hehuan Sect really think it has no one left?! I'm going in!"

As she spoke, she actually tried to force her way in!

Liu Yayin, who was standing to the side, was startled and quickly reached out to stop her, lowering her voice to say:

"Xi Yue! Tone it down!"

She gripped Xiao Xiyue's arm tightly and said urgently:

"This is the Pill Refining Shop! Her grandfather is a near-fourth-tier alchemist! All the cultivators in the entire Immortal City have benefited from his kindness! If you force your way in, you'll offend more than just her family!"

Xiao Xiyue seemed not to hear, and continued to struggle to rush inside.

inside the room.

Lin Fengmian listened to the faint commotion coming from outside the door and shook his head helplessly.

He looked at Yun Caiyue beside him and said softly:

"Caiyue, let me go out and talk to her. Otherwise, knowing her temper, she might really tear down your medicine shop."

Yun Caiyue pursed her lips, and although she was somewhat unwilling, she nodded nonetheless:

"Hmm... Brother Fengmian, go ahead. Caiyue will wait for you here."

Lin Fengmian rubbed her head, then got up and walked towards the door.

……

The door was pushed open.

Lin Fengmian's figure in green robes appeared in front of Xiao Xiyue.

With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips slightly pursed, and a posture as upright as a pine tree.

It was Lin Fengmian.

The moment Xiao Xiyue saw him, she froze.

She stopped abruptly, staring blankly at the figure.

Then--

Almost instinctively, she ran over quickly.

She ran up to Lin Fengmian, looked him up and down, her gaze moving from his face to his body and back to his face.

Those beautiful eyes were filled with tension and worry.

"Junior Brother Lin, are you...are you alright?"

Her voice trembled slightly, carrying a concern she herself was unaware of.

"Was the foundation damaged? How serious is the injury? Is it alright?"

Lin Fengmian was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He originally thought this woman was there to cause him trouble, after all, he had given her quite a hard time in the cave.

He had prepared a set of excuses, intending to handle the situation well.

But at this moment, looking into her worried eyes and hearing her words of concern...

Lin Fengmian's prepared words were all stuck in his throat.

He suddenly remembered that night.

Although the situation was urgent, the other party gave him a really... good feeling.

That cold yet awkward reaction, that struggle of resisting yet having no choice but to accept, and the way she curled up and trembled in his arms afterward...

Lin Fengmian also felt a little lingering in his heart, nodded, and his tone softened:

"Thank you for your concern, senior sister. My injuries have fully recovered."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue first breathed a sigh of relief, and then—

She suddenly realized what she had just said, and her pretty face flushed bright red!

She quickly took a step back, turned her face away, and her voice changed:

"Who, who said I cared about you! I was just... just afraid that if you died, it would bring shame to the sect!"
