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

As she spoke, her ears turned so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

Liu Yayin, who was standing nearby, also came over at that moment.

Her gaze fell on Lin Fengmian, a hint of amazement flashing in her beautiful eyes.

The man was dressed in a green robe, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes; his features were so handsome that they were beyond reproach.

What is most striking is its upright, pine-like posture.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he became even more slender and well-proportioned, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, standing there like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

What alarmed Liu Yayin even more was the pure and rich yang energy emanating from him!

The aura was gentle and restrained, yet it seemed to contain boundless heat.

In the eyes of the female cultivator, he was like a beacon in the darkness, making her want to get closer.

And those eyes—

Crystal clear, yet carrying a hint of a smile.

It seems to see through people's hearts, yet it makes people feel sincere and warm.

Liu Yayin only glanced at it, but her heart started racing.

She finally understood why her aloof and reserved best friend had lost her composure like this.

This person... truly deserves Xi Yue.

You could even say that Xi Yue has climbed the social ladder!

Liu Yayin thought to herself,

Her heart was pounding, but she remained outwardly calm.

At this moment, Lin Fengmian spoke.

He looked at Xiao Xiyue's expression, which was both embarrassed and annoyed.

His lips curled slightly upward, but his tone carried a hint of aloofness.

"Alright, since Senior Sister isn't worried, then Junior Brother is just being presumptuous."

He paused, then stepped aside to make way.

"Please leave."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue's blush vanished instantly, and she froze in shock.

She stared wide-eyed at Lin Fengmian, saying incredulously:

"What...what do you mean?!"

Lin Fengmian blinked, looking completely innocent:

"It means exactly what it says. Didn't my senior sister say she didn't care about me? Then what am I still doing here?"

"you--!"

Xiao Xiyue stomped her foot in anger, her face turning bright red, but she couldn't say a word.

The people around.

They couldn't help but laugh as they watched this scene.

Anyone with eyes could see that there was something fishy going on between the two, and their relationship was more than just ordinary.

Xiao Xiyue glared at Lin Fengmian, but there was a clear hint of grievance in her eyes.

Lin Fengmian found her appearance amusing and stopped teasing her.

He stepped forward, softening his tone:

"Alright, senior sister. I was just joking with you."

He paused, his expression becoming more serious.

"Thank you for coming to see me. I'm really fine, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue's grievances dissipated considerably.

But she still turned her face away and muttered softly:

"Who needs you to be at ease..."

Lin Fengmian chuckled and shook his head.

He took a deep breath, then suddenly lowered his voice and said solemnly:

"Senior sister, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Xiao Xiyue was taken aback and turned to look at him.

Lin Fengmian's gaze was earnest and sincere, and his voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it:

"Please keep this a secret after we return to the sect."

He paused, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes:

"If others find out about this, the consequences... will be unimaginable."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue's face also became serious.

She was certainly aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Xiao Xiyue became increasingly alarmed as she thought about it, and quickly nodded:

"Don't worry, I won't tell!"

She thought to herself: I can't let Lin Fengmian get hurt again!

However, at that moment—

A sudden inspiration struck her!

Xiao Xiyue blinked, a sly glint in her eyes.

She coughed lightly, raised her small face, and tried her best to put on a haughty look:

"Hmph! I'm not going to keep this a secret for you!"

Lin Fengmian was taken aback.

Xiao Xiyue continued:

"Unless... you grant me three requests!"

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched.

This woman really knows how to take advantage of kindness!

He looked at her, both amused and exasperated, and asked:

"What are the three requirements?"

Xiao Xiyue let out a soft hum from her delicate nose, but a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. She quickly said:

"I...I haven't decided yet! I'll tell you when I've thought it through! I'll let you know when I need you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian snorted coldly in his heart.

Ah, women!

This is a move that Lin Fengmian has already used before!

The other party wasn't asking for three requests; they were clearly looking for an opportunity to meet me again!

He looked at Xiao Xiyue with a half-smile, without saying a word.

Xiao Xiyue felt uneasy under his gaze, and her face flushed again.

Fearing that Lin Fengmian would refuse, she quickly added.

"Don't worry! It's nothing heinous! It's just... just some trivial matter!"

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and her eyes darted away.

Looking at her expression, Lin Fengmian finally couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright."

He nodded.

Xiao Xiyue was overjoyed!

He forced a smile, only giving a soft "hmm," and said in a serious tone:

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Liu Yayin, who was standing to the side, twitched her lips as she watched this scene.

Silly girl, your little thoughts are written all over your face, okay?

……

After bidding farewell to the two, Lin Fengmian turned and returned to the pill shop.

Yun Caiyue was standing inside the door. Seeing him enter, she quickly went to greet him, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"Brother Fengmian, are you leaving already?"

Lin Fengmian nodded, reached out and ruffled her hair, and said softly:

"Yes. I need to go back to the sect as soon as possible. I came out on a mission, and if I don't go back to report for duty, some people might notice something amiss, which would be bad."

Upon hearing this, Yun Caiyue felt extremely reluctant, but she also knew the importance of the matter.

She bit her lip and whispered:

"Then... Brother Fengmian, please take care on your journey. If anything happens, feel free to come to Caiyue."

Lin Fengmian smiled and nodded, then ruffled her hair before turning to leave.

Before leaving, Lin Fengmian suddenly stopped and turned to look at Yun Caiyue.

"Caiyue, wait here for me for a moment, I'm going to get you something."

Upon hearing this, Yun Caiyue's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but she still nodded obediently and said softly:

"Okay, Brother Fengmian, Caiyue will be waiting for you here."

Lin Fengmian smiled, turned around and went into the side room.

After closing the door, he had a thought and his figure disappeared from the spot.

……

Inside the Frozen Cave.

White mist swirled, and spiritual energy surged like a tide.

As soon as Lin Fengmian appeared, he walked straight towards the spirit field.

During this time, he has been busy with foundation building and has not come in to check on things for quite some time.

Looking around, the scene before him was breathtaking.

In that spiritual field, the spiritual herbs that had been brought out from the secret realm were now growing extremely well.

The cap of the purple-leaf Ganoderma lucidum is a whole size larger than before, and the purple veins on the leaves are even deeper.

The rhizome of the century-old He Shou Wu is as thick as a baby's arm, faintly emitting a pale golden halo;

The edges of the ambergris leaves even began to condense into crystal-clear dewdrops, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
