Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

Feng Qingyue stood on the city wall of Tianqiong Pavilion, gazing at the distant mountains and the vaguely visible city outline.

The breeze blew across her face, bringing a hint of coolness, as if echoing the fluctuations in her heart.

She had been thinking about Jun Lingyuan's proposal, but her heart was filled with concerns and doubts about the future of Tianqiong Pavilion.

Tianqiong Pavilion, the attic she built with her own hands, carries the years she spent with Lan Ying, Lan Qing and others.

Every brick and every inch of land bears witness to her hard work and struggle.

From the initial loneliness to the growing Tianqiong Pavilion, Feng Qingyue's heart is filled with complex emotions.

She had vowed to hold up the sky for everyone in the Sky Tower and protect everyone in the attic.

However, Jun Lingyuan's appearance shattered her peace. The crisis of Xingli Country, the threat of Beiyan Country, and even those forces secretly plotting to make moves, seemed like an invisible sword hanging over her head.

Her heart was full of struggles: if she stayed in Frost Moon City, she would face more and more enemies, the threat from Bei Xiu would still exist, and the future of Sky Dome Pavilion would become even more unpredictable.

However, if she followed Jun Lingyuan back to Xingli Country, she would have to give up everything here and plunge into a more complicated and uncertain situation.

After several days of careful consideration, Feng Qingyue finally made up her mind: whether to stay in Frost Moon City or return to Xingli Country, crises and challenges will always exist.

Her original intention in establishing the Tianqiong Pavilion was to deal with all the unrest and find Jun Lingyuan.

Now that she has Jun Lingyuan and more supporters by her side, she is no longer afraid of changing circumstances.

Even if she had to give up the Sky Dome Pavilion, everything here would no longer be her sole responsibility. If she returned to Xingli Country, she could still rebuild the Sky Dome Pavilion and face everything.

Feng Qingyue took a deep breath, turned around, left the city wall, and walked straight towards the mansion.

After entering the mansion, Feng Qingyue walked into Jun Lingyuan's room.

Jun Lingyuan was sorting documents. When he saw her come in, he raised his head and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He put down his pen and looked at her, his eyes deep but full of vague worry.

"Qingyue, you finally made a decision." Jun Lingyuan's tone was gentle, but it couldn't hide the tension he was trying to suppress.

Feng Qingyue's eyes were determined. After a moment's hesitation, she slowly spoke, "Ling Yuan, I've decided. I will return to Xingli Country with you."

Jun Lingyuan was slightly stunned, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He paused for a moment with the pen in his hand, lowered his head and sighed softly, as if he was thinking deeply about something.

He raised his head, his voice low but full of concern: "Are you sure, Qingyue?"

Feng Qingyue nodded. "Yes, I've thought it through." She paused and continued, "However, before I leave, there are still some things that need to be arranged to ensure that the operation of the Sky Dome Pavilion and the City Lord's Mansion are not affected by our departure."

Jun Lingyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Although there was still worry in his eyes, he knew that he had no other choice at this time.

After a moment's silence, he said firmly, "I will arrange for personnel to garrison Frost Moon City to ensure that the affairs of the Sky Dome Pavilion are not disturbed. At the same time, we will also assist you in completing the final arrangements."

Feng Qingyue nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved. She knew that although her decision had been made, it would still be full of complexities and challenges before everything was arranged.

At noon, Feng Qingyue found Lan Ying and prepared to talk to him about her decision to leave.

Lan Ying was handling the affairs of Tianqiong Pavilion. When he saw her come in, he raised his head slightly, a hint of alertness flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly regained his calm expression.

"Miss, is there something wrong?" Lan Ying's voice was low and steady, with a calm alertness in his eyes. As a secret guard, he was always vigilant.

Feng Qingyue sighed softly, walked over and sat across from Lan Ying, her eyes complicated, "Lanying, I have decided to leave Frost Moon City and return to Xingli Country with Jun Lingyuan."

Lan Ying's brows immediately furrowed, and her voice was low and serious: "Miss, the king has clearly instructed that you must be protected at all times. You are my responsibility, and no matter where you go, I will protect you."

There was a determination glint in his eyes. As Feng Qingyue's secret guard, he always regarded her safety as his primary mission.

Feng Qingyue reached out and patted his shoulder gently, gently but firmly, "Lan Ying, I know you've always been doing this for my own good, but now I need you to stay in Frost Moon City and help me defend the Sky Dome Pavilion."

Lan Ying's expression instantly turned serious, his brows furrowed, his tone filled with contradiction and determination: "Miss, this is unacceptable. Our duty is to protect you. If you leave, your subordinates should go with you."

Lan Ying's heart was filled with worries. He couldn't imagine how he would respond if Feng Qingyue faced danger alone, and how they would explain to the king then.

Feng Qingyue took a deep breath, her tone firm and unwavering: "Lan Ying, from the moment you followed me out of the palace, you have obeyed my decision. Your responsibility is to protect me, and my decision is my own. I now need you to stay in Frost Moon City and defend the Sky Dome Pavilion. Can you do it?"

Lan Ying's eyes were silent for a moment, her heart filled with struggle and complex emotions.

He understood what Feng Qingyue meant, but the sense of responsibility in his heart made it difficult for him to compromise.

He lowered his head, his voice low but resolute, "Miss, you have always been the most important person to us. I know you have made your decision, but as your secret guard, my responsibilities remain unchanged."

Lan Ying raised her head, her eyes firm, "If this is your decision, Lan Ying will definitely follow it."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Feng Qingyue's eyes, and her tone was gentle but still firm: "Lan Ying, I know that your support has always been the strongest backing for me. I will feel much more at ease with you looking after Tianqiong Pavilion."

Lan Ying looked at Feng Qingyue deeply, and the complex emotions in her eyes gradually calmed down.

Although his heart was filled with reluctance and concern, he understood that this decision was Feng Qingyue's final choice.

He said softly, "In that case, miss, I will respect your decision. If you are in any danger, we will rush to you as soon as possible."

Feng Qingyue nodded, a hint of comfort in her smile, "Thank you, Lanying. Your decision is of vital importance to me. No matter what the future holds, you will always be my greatest support."

Lan Ying was silent for a moment, and finally nodded firmly: "No matter when or where, we are here."

At that moment, the tacit understanding and trust between Feng Qingyue and Lan Ying reached a new high.
