Years turn into wind

As the conspiracy of Liu Jingyao's remaining forces surfaced, Ling Xiaotian and Cheng Yuwei became busy. They worked together to set up a defense line, vowing to catch all the lurking enemies in one fell swoop.

One evening, Cheng Yuwei stood on the terrace of her mansion, gazing into the distance. Ling Xiaotian quietly approached her and, noticing her grave expression, asked softly, "Yuwei, what's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"

Cheng Yuwei was slightly startled, turned around, and saw his gentle eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "I'm just wondering, when will all this really end?"

Ling Xiaotian sighed and said slowly, "In this chaotic world, true peace is indeed hard to find. But don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let you come to any harm."

Cheng Yuwei smiled gently, with a hint of mischief in her eyes: "Marshal, when did you become so gentle?"

Ling Xiaotian's expression softened after being teased by her. He approached her with a hint of a smile and whispered, "In front of you, I don't want to be a big boss. I just want to be your Xiaotian."

Cheng Yuwei's face heated up slightly, and she gently pushed him away with a smile on her lips: "You are usually cold and serious, but now you can say sweet words."

The two looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly laughed softly. The air around them seemed to be infected by this lightness and warmth, and even the night breeze became gentle.

Late that night, Ling Xiaotian decided to call a meeting with his men to discuss how to deploy defenses in response to the enemy's new movements. Cheng Yuwei suggested that she could use her knowledge of chemistry to create a new type of detection agent to detect possible spies and enemy strongholds.

After hearing her plan, Ling Xiaotian's eyes flashed with admiration and he nodded, "Yuwei, you are indeed very smart. Without your help, I'm afraid it would be difficult to completely eliminate these enemies."

Cheng Yuwei smiled and said, "I'm just trying my best to help you. We are partners fighting side by side."

When Ling Xiaotian heard this, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "No, just a partner?"

Cheng Yuwei was slightly stunned. She looked up and met his gentle gaze. Her heart trembled slightly, but she shyly looked away and said softly, "Then... then what do you think it is?"

Ling Xiaotian's eyes became deep and fiery. He gently held her hand and whispered, "I think you know the answer."

Cheng Yuwei's face flushed instantly, her heartbeat quickening, and she seemed to be at a loss for words. Seeing her blush, Ling Xiaotian chuckled softly, slowly holding her in his arms, and whispered, "Yuwei, no matter what happens in this chaotic world, I am willing to protect you and weather the storm with you."

Cheng Yuwei slowly leaned into his arms, feeling his warmth, and felt an inexplicable sense of peace in her heart. The two of them stood together quietly, as if all the troubles in the world had gone away, and only each other existed.

A few days later, Cheng Yuwei's potion was successfully developed. Ling Xiaotian immediately arranged for his soldiers to deploy it in various suspicious areas, and indeed, they discovered several hidden enemy strongholds. The enemy was quickly surrounded and eliminated, and the situation in the city gradually stabilized.

With the battle over, the atmosphere in the mansion finally relaxed. Ling Xiaotian arranged a small banquet, inviting the officers and soldiers of the mansion and Cheng Yuwei to celebrate the recent victory.

At the banquet, Ling Xiaotian raised his glass to greet everyone. He then turned his gaze to Cheng Yuwei and said with a smile, "Everything went smoothly today, all thanks to Miss Cheng's talent and courage."

Everyone raised their glasses and respectfully paid tribute to Cheng Yuwei. Cheng Yuwei raised her glass in response, a little shyly, and smiled, "I'm just doing my best. I'm happy to be able to help everyone."

After the banquet, Ling Xiaotian brought Cheng Yuwei to the mansion's garden. The moonlight shone on the two of them, creating a romantic atmosphere. Ling Xiaotian watched her quietly, and suddenly whispered, "Yuwei, where do you want to go after the chaos ends?"

Cheng Yuwei was slightly startled, thought for a moment, and said softly: "As long as you are here, I can be anywhere."

Hearing this, Ling Xiaotian's eyes flashed with tenderness and excitement. He held her hand tightly and said solemnly: "Yuwei, having you by my side is my greatest home."

However, just as the two were embracing, a strange noise was heard from the distant woods. Ling Xiaotian's expression suddenly changed. He protected Cheng Yuwei behind him and looked coldly into the darkness: "Who's there?"

A figure gradually emerged from the darkness. It turned out to be Liu Jingyao's confidant. He walked out calmly and sneered, "Marshal Ling, Miss Cheng, you two are truly in love. But soon, you'll learn how fragile emotions are in troubled times!"

Cheng Yuwei held Ling Xiaotian's hand tightly and stood calmly beside him. Ling Xiaotian snorted coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent: "If you dare to hurt her again, I will make you pay the price!"

The man raised the corner of his mouth calmly, his eyes sinister: "This is just the beginning." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

Cheng Yuwei felt a chill. She looked up at Ling Xiaotian and whispered, "It seems they are planning a bigger conspiracy."

Ling Xiaotian frowned and nodded slowly, "It seems we can't let our guard down just yet. I'll set up a defense line and make sure they don't get a chance to exploit us again."

Cheng Yuwei nodded firmly and held his hand tightly: "Xiaotian, no matter how difficult and dangerous the next step is, we will face it together."
