Innocent—Qingfeng repeated the word in a low voice, "What do you mean by 'innocent'?"

"Since the young master said you are a young lady, then you should stay here tonight and make arrangements after the young master wakes up."

Qingfeng's tone was cold and calm, but every word he said was firm and unquestionable.

After he finished speaking, he left without looking back and walked away with firm steps.

Feng Qingyue was slightly stunned and watched Qingfeng's back disappear.

An indescribable complex emotion arose in her heart.

"Please follow me." Ali looked at the two of them and said with a smile, then turned and walked out the door.

Feng Qingyue turned to look at Jun Lingyuan, their eyes met, they nodded in tacit understanding, and then followed Ali out.

The yard was filled with a faint dampness. The night was deep and quiet, and only their footsteps echoed in the silent courtyard.

Ali led them to a place, stopped, and pointed ahead: "Sir, go straight and you will find your room. Miss, please come this way."

Feng Qingyue nodded slightly. Although she was a little tired, she still followed Ali politely.

Walking into the room, the surroundings are simply yet elegantly decorated, with dim lights shining in every corner, making it seem warm and quiet.

Feng Qingyue looked around, sighed deeply, and felt complicated.

She thought she was prepared for everything, but tonight's changes caught her off guard.

"Miss, please take a rest first." Ali said softly.

Feng Qingyue nodded, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a barely noticeable smile: "Okay, thank you."

Ali gently closed the door and turned to leave.

Feng Qingyue walked quietly to the bed and sat down, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her mind constantly thinking about the chaotic scene of tonight.

She hadn't expected things to become so complicated, and every step now seemed out of her control.

Meanwhile, at the inn at the foot of the mountain.

Yang Yi pushed open the door anxiously: "Master, why haven't the Saint Lady and the others returned yet? It's almost midnight."

Chen Jinyu sat quietly, holding the teacup and sipping tea gently, as if he was not concerned about the situation outside.

"What are you in such a hurry for?" He asked calmly, without any anxiety in his tone.

"Go outside and wait for news." His words were calm and composed, but there was a hidden light in his eyes, revealing his worry.

Yang Yi responded and walked out, wondering: How could the young master remain so calm? He was even in the mood for tea. What on earth was he thinking?

~~

So absorbed...what are you thinking about?" Jun Lingyuan patted Feng Qingyue's shoulder.

"It's okay." Feng Qingyue put down the teacup nonchalantly, staring at the table for a moment.

"A lot has happened tonight, and I need to sort it out."

"Why are you here?" Feng Qingyue came back to her senses and looked at Jun Lingyuan.

Jun Lingyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and teased, "Forgot? We have to go back, otherwise your brother Jinyu will be worried."

Feng Qingyue let out a faint smile. "There were so many things to do, I almost forgot. Let's go."

When she reached the door, Feng Qingyue turned around and saw that Jun Lingyuan had not followed her. She looked at him in confusion.

"Is there any problem?" Feng Qingyue asked calmly.

"We can't alert the enemy. We have to go back the same way we came. We have to come back early tomorrow morning, otherwise it will be difficult to handle what happens next."

Feng Qingyue nodded, as if she had suddenly realized something: "Yes! That makes sense."

The two of them jumped out of the window lightly, their figures quickly disappeared into the dark night, and disappeared silently at the edge of Mingying Mountain.

~~

"Young Master, the Saint and the others are back." Yang Yi hurriedly pushed open the door, his voice revealing a hint of anxiety.

Chen Jinyu raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where are they?"

"First floor." Yang Yi had just finished speaking when he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing past his ears, and there was no one in front of him.

"Master, wait for me," Yang Yi complained hurriedly, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Chen Jinyu went downstairs and when he saw Feng Qingyue, his eyes were full of concern. He quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders, carefully checked her expression, and whispered, "Ayue, are you okay?"

Feng Qingyue smiled slightly and shook her head, indicating that everything was fine: "Brother Jinyu, don't worry, everything is fine."

Chen Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, however, his eyes suddenly met Jun Lingyuan's cold eyes, and he immediately felt an invisible pressure coming down on him.

Jun Lingyuan stood aside, his eyes as cold as frost, staring at Chen Jinyu's movement of holding Feng Qingyue's hand. The intimidation in his eyes made people dare not act rashly.

Chen Jinyu was slightly stunned and immediately let go of his hand, thinking to himself: The aura of the Emperor Bei Ming is indeed not to be underestimated, it is chilling.

"Is Pavilion Master Jun okay?" Chen Jinyu spoke awkwardly and asked tentatively.

"This Pavilion Master is fine." Jun Lingyuan's tone was calm, but the strength that could not be ignored was revealed in his words.

He picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, his eyes still as deep as the sea.

Chen Jinyu sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two and quickly changed the subject: "Ayue, Pavilion Master Jun, how is it going?"

"Everything went well. We have met the owner of Mingying Mountain." Feng Qingyue smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"But we have to go back again tomorrow morning. You guys continue to wait for our news at the inn."

"Still want to go?" Chen Jinyu frowned, looking a little surprised.

"Yes." Feng Qingyue nodded, "Some things happened tonight, and some things are still unconfirmed."

"Then when can we enter Mingying Mountain?" Chen Jinyu suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked softly.

"Don't worry, we will notify you after we confirm the specific situation." Feng Qingyue replied gently.

"Will it be dangerous?" Chen Jinyu couldn't help but ask.

Feng Qingyue smiled and said firmly, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

As the night deepened, everyone felt tired.

"rest early."

Feng Qingyue nodded.

"Qingyue, go and rest first." Jun Lingyuan said softly, "We'll set off at dawn."

"Okay, you should go to bed early too." Feng Qingyue responded and went upstairs to her room.

When she was about to close the door, she saw Jun Lingyuan standing behind her.

"Why are you still following me?" she asked in confusion, her tone a little lost. "Didn't Brother Jinyu arrange a room for you?"

Jun Lingyuan looked at her, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes: "No arrangements. But Qingyue, have you forgotten? We are already a real couple."

Feng Qingyue was stunned, and a complex emotion suddenly surged in her heart.

She lowered her head, pretending not to know, and said softly, "Then go down and get one."

Jun Lingyuan walked up to her, held her hand, and said gently, "Qingyue, let's go together." After that, without waiting for Feng Qingyue to answer, he pulled her into the room and closed the door.

The two walked side by side to the bed, Jun Lingyuan gently took off his coat and got directly into bed.

Feng Qingyue was stunned for a moment, confusion flashed in her eyes, but her heart was soothed by his calm aura.

She gently took off her coat and lay down. Her heart was in turmoil, but she also felt an inexplicable sense of security.

Jun Lingyuan turned around and put his arms around her tightly.

Feng Qingyue wanted to struggle, but was suppressed by his low and powerful voice: "Don't move, you have to get up and go back soon. Sleep well, I will hold you when I sleep."

Feng Qingyue felt a warmth coming from his arms, her heartbeat gradually stabilized, and her thoughts became empty.
