The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

On an early summer morning, sunlight filtered through the leaves, tinting the earth with a faint golden hue. The sky, a brilliant blue like a gem, was crystal clear, evoking a particularly soothing mood. Accompanied by the melodious, crisp chirping of birds, Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an quietly led the group out of the "Bright Moon Pavilion."

To avoid attracting too much attention, Ru Yue specifically instructed everyone to keep a low profile. Ultimately, only Wang Shuisheng and Meng Dalin's wife quietly escorted the group out through a side door. Chu Ning'an and his companion, An Er, rode their horses, following closely beside Ru Yue's carriage.

Both the master and the servant were taciturn, and there wasn't much conversation along the way. However, Chu Ning'an couldn't help but turn his head to look at the carriage, secretly hoping to meet Ru Yue's eyes as she sat inside, as if that moment could convey a thousand words.

Unfortunately, the whole morning passed and Ru Yue never lifted the curtain of the car. This made Chu Ningan, who was full of expectations, feel disappointed and depressed.

Inside the carriage, Fengying accompanied Ruyue. She would occasionally glance at her, as if she was about to speak but hesitated. At first, Ruyue pretended not to notice, but as time went on, Fengying's behavior became more and more obvious, and finally, Ruyue could no longer ignore it.

She said helplessly, "If you have anything to say to me, just say it directly. There's no need to be so hesitant and hesitant."

Fengying raised her hand slightly and gently touched the tip of her nose. A hint of shyness crept up her cheek, and then she slowly smiled with a shy smile and said softly, "Girl, I can really follow you forever in the future, right?" At this moment, she was like a cat that had successfully stolen the smell of fish. There was a little imperceptible cunning in her eyes, and at the same time, she showed a full sense of satisfaction.

"Didn't we already make this decision last night? And because of this, you even pissed off your brother and ran away." Ru Yue mercilessly pointed out the reality.

"You, instead of being the Miss 'Shadow', you come and follow me around as a bodyguard. What on earth are you trying to achieve?" Ru Yue looked at Feng Ying in front of her with a puzzled look on her face. She really couldn't understand the real intention behind his action.

To be honest, Ru Yue herself couldn't tell how much truth and how much falsehood there was in what Fengying said last night, but at least one thing was certain, that is, those so-called reasons could not completely convince her.

Hearing this, Fengying's eyes widened and she stared straight at Ruyue, as if trying to see through her gaze to her innermost thoughts. She was keenly aware that although Ruyue was still willing to take her with her, she actually did not fully trust her.

Perhaps Ru Yue had never trusted him the way she trusted An Yi and An Er. Strictly speaking, rather than defining their relationship as that of a personal guard and his master, it was more like a simple employment relationship. Thinking of this, Feng Ying couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, secretly annoyed.

"Girl, it's true that I like you, and it's also true that I want to leave 'Shadow'. Another reason is that without me around, my eldest brother can truly live his own life and won't have to worry about me getting hurt after leaving 'Shadow'." Fengying lowered his eyelids to hide the sadness in his eyes, but he never stopped talking. "When I was five years old, our family was hunted by enemies. My parents tried their best to fight a bloody way out for my eldest brother and me to escape, but my eldest brother was only ten years old at the time. Where could we escape to with me? Due to fate, the previous generation of the sect leader saved us. My eldest brother agreed to join the Shadow Sect to give me a stable environment, but he didn't allow the sect to assign me any tasks. He would do everything that came my way for me. Later, when he became the new 'Shadow', he was even more unwilling to let me set foot in the disputes of the martial arts world. In fact, I know that my eldest brother doesn't like a life of fighting and killing. He would rather take me to live a simple and ordinary life. But he has made too many enemies over the years. He is afraid that if I leave 'Shadow', I will be implicated by them, so he can only continue to be 'Shadow'."

Ru Yue couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing Feng Ying's words. She knew that everyone faces helpless situations in life. Thinking back to herself, if she hadn't had that magical space and the business experience and skills accumulated in her previous life, she probably wouldn't be able to live such a stable life now.

She silently thought that she had no right to judge or criticize the choices made by Shadow. After all, we were all just pitiful and helpless people in this world!

At this moment, Fengying suddenly said, "My elder brother admires you very much." This sentence caught Ru Yue off guard and she was stunned for a moment.

Fengying continued, "He often told me that it was truly remarkable that a young girl like you could support a pair of siblings on your own! In contrast, he himself had to live with me, struggling to make a living amidst the strife of swords and spears, with a precarious life every day. So, he truly admired you from the bottom of his heart!"

After hearing Fengying's words, Ruyue's confused expression instantly cleared. It dawned on her that what had happened last night, seemingly a fierce argument, was actually more like a test. He wanted not only to test her true abilities, but also to see if she could truly treat Fengying well. Thinking of this, Ruyue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Her eyebrows arched, her eyes widened, and she fiercely rolled her eyes at Fengying, secretly ruing: "Great! I never thought I'd fall for this old fox's tricks this time, and be completely outmaneuvered by this old man!" But... humph, I can't let this go just like that. Sooner or later, she'll get back at him! Thinking of this, a brilliant smile suddenly blossomed on her delicate face, as bright and charming as a spring flower in full bloom.

Thinking about it carefully, she actually didn't suffer a big loss. Not only did she gain three secret guards with high martial arts skills for no reason, but from now on, whenever she encountered any trouble, she would have the entire Shadow Gate at her disposal. In this way, she actually gained a lot and really made a profit!

However, she remained unforgiving, deliberately threatening Fengying viciously, "Your elder brother dumped you here with me. I might get upset one day and sell you to a human trafficker. He'll never find you again in his lifetime, and I'll make him die of rage!"

Fengying heard her words, which were tinged with anger and a playful tone, and she knew that she had truly let go of her previous unhappiness and had completely let it go. With this, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down firmly in her stomach.
