So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

When Pei Ling saw Chen Yan, he just nodded lightly without saying anything more.

She knew that now was not the time for them to talk about feelings.

She has more important things to do, which is to represent Fog City to attend the event.

So, she turned and walked towards the venue of the event, and Chen Yan followed her silently.

He knew that no matter what decision Pei Ling made, he would always support and protect her.

Because this is his responsibility and obligation as a friend and an ally.

Pei Ling glanced at Chen Yan who had been following him, his tone calm but with a hint of unquestionable firmness.

"You don't have to follow me. This is Fog City. I won't be in any danger. Even if I am, I have the ability to protect myself."

Chen Yan paused slightly when he heard this, but he did not stop. He just followed Pei Ling silently, keeping a distance.

He knew that Pei Ling was telling the truth. Fog City was her home and she had enough ability to protect herself here.

However, he was still worried and wanted to protect her silently.

Pei Ling saw this and didn't say anything more.

She knew that Chen Yan's concern was not out of unnecessary worry, but out of genuine care.

A warm feeling surged in her heart, but she also felt a little helpless.

She knew that the emotional issues between her and Chen Yan would take time to sort out and resolve.

So she quickened her pace and walked towards the venue of the event.

Chen Yan still followed her silently, maintaining the same distance.

In the evening, the bonfire party was held as scheduled.

As the eldest daughter of Fog City and also the most beautiful woman in Fog City, Pei Ling naturally became the focus of the party.

Many admirers invited her to dance around the bonfire with her.

Pei Ling did not refuse these invitations. She accepted everyone's invitation with a smile and danced happily with them.

Her dancing was light and graceful, like a dancing butterfly, attracting everyone's attention.

Chen Yan stood aside, silently watching Pei Ling dancing with everyone. His eyes showed both admiration and worry. He was worried that Pei Ling would feel uncomfortable because of the crowd's pursuit, and he was also worried that she would ignore his existence because of being too involved.

However, Pei Ling didn't seem to be affected at all.

She enjoyed the party and dancing with everyone.

She knew that as the eldest daughter of the Fog City, she had the responsibility and obligation to add luster to this event.

After the party, Pei Ling returned to her room.

She sat in front of the window, looking at the starry sky outside, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

She knew that the emotional issues between her and Chen Yan had not been resolved, but she also understood that she could not keep avoiding it.

She needs to face this problem and give herself an answer.

But before Pei Ling could go find Chen Yan, Chen Yan came to find her first.

He looked at Pei Ling, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

"Ling'er, I have something to tell you."

Pei Ling sighed softly, as if he was also waiting for this moment to come.

"I have something to tell you, too."

The two entered the house, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy.

Pei Ling spoke first.

"You should leave tomorrow! I know you are not happy here, and we also need time to think."

When Chen Yan heard this, an indescribable pain surged in his heart.

But he also understood that Pei Ling was telling the truth.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.

"Are you willing to go through this together with me? I think we need more time to get to know each other and to face our own hearts."

The two people spoke their true feelings almost in unison, which made their relationship more subtle and complicated.

Pei Ling looked at Chen Yan, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Are you serious?"

She wanted to confirm Chen Yan's wishes. After all, this was a major matter concerning their future.

Chen Yan nodded firmly.

"It is inevitable that I will marry you. But I think that we haven't seen each other since we were eight years old. I want to go out and gain experience, and I don't want you to wait for me. I wonder if you are willing to go out and gain experience with me." He spoke out his true thoughts, expressing his commitment to Pei Ling and also putting forward his own suggestions.

Pei Ling felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard this.

She knew that Chen Yan was sincere and understood his thoughts and plans.

She was silent for a while, then looked up at Chen Yan.

"I am willing to go through the trials with you. I also want to get to know you better and face future challenges with you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

He knew that this was a joint decision between the two of them and the starting point of their future life.

He held Pei Ling's hand tightly, with a determined light in his eyes.

"Then it's decided. Tomorrow, we will leave Fog City together."

Upon learning that Pei Ling was going to train with Chen Yan, Pei Xuan was silent for a long time.

He felt both worried and reluctant. After all, Pei Ling was the apple of his eye, and he naturally didn't want her to leave his sight.

However, he also understood that Pei Ling needed to grow and go through more hardships in order to become stronger.

Moreover, he could also see that Chen Yan was genuinely kind to Pei Ling, and he believed that Chen Yan would take good care of Pei Ling.

In the end, Pei Xuan just gave Pei Ling a bunch of life-saving magic weapons and asked him to be careful.

"Ling'er, you must remember that no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must persevere. These magic weapons can save your life at the critical moment, but the most important thing is to rely on your own wisdom and courage."

Pei Ling took the magic weapon and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

She knew that although her father didn't say anything, he cared about her very much in his heart.

She nodded firmly.

"Father, I will remember this. I will take good care of myself and work hard with Chen Yan to gain experience."

The next day, Pei Ling and Chen Yan left Fog City together.

They wore light clothes, carried bags, and set out on a journey of experience.

Pei Xuan stood at the city gate, watching the two people's backs gradually walking away, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Mrs. Pei, who was standing by, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she saw her husband's appearance.

"She will eventually have to go out and try her luck. Why should you? Children need to grow up and go through hardships to become stronger. We should believe in them and be proud of ourselves for having such brave children."

Pei Xuan felt a mix of emotions after hearing what his wife said.

He knew he shouldn't be so worried, but Pei Ling was his daughter after all, how could he not be concerned?

However, he also understood his wife's reasoning that children needed to grow up and experience more hardships.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"You're right. I should trust them. It's just... I just can't bear to do that."
