Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Lu Fengjin felt a headache coming on.

"Yuan'er, let me take you back to apply your medicine first." The matters at the hunting grounds for today are almost finished, and the rest can be left to Chu Xiaohe.

Just now, for a moment, he did think that Chu Yueli had come to see him.

After being told by Tuoba Liuli that he had been delusional, Lu Fengjin was now in a very awkward position.

Moreover, Tuoba Feiyuan's wounds were still bleeding, which pained him to see.

But Tuoba Feiyuan wouldn't let it go. Seeing his inaction, she was so angry that the tears she had been holding back for so long finally rolled down her cheeks.

"Is this how you protect me? Lu Fengjin, I despise you!"

"Yuan'er..."

"You started by flirting with the scoundrel." Chu Yueli coldly stared at Tuoba Feiyuan, her face expressionless, and said, "In the future, if you don't have the ability, don't make a move. If you strike first and can't win, then you're the one being bullied. What's the difference between you and those thugs and bandits on the street?"

"Chu Yue is leaving you..."

"You started it, so no matter what you say, it's still your fault. Just because your man spoils you, does that mean the whole world spoils you?"

Chu Yueli didn't like arguing, so even when she said such things, her expression remained calm, as if she were just discussing the weather.

However, her words were like daggers to the heart.

"Furthermore, didn't Miss Tuoba keep saying that she looked down on women like us who rely on men? If Miss Tuoba wants to take revenge, why doesn't she do it herself instead of begging Prince Jin to teach others a lesson for her?"

These words immediately drew everyone's attention to Tuoba Feiyuan's face.

Some watched with amusement, some were disdainful, and some were disgusted.

Lu Fengjin was also looking at her.

That's true, she's quite different from the Yuan'er I know.

He used to think she was special because she was particularly aloof and unyielding, with a stubborn glint in her eyes that she wasn't even afraid of him, a high-ranking prince.

Chu Yueli's words unconsciously made Lu Fengjin's gaze towards Tuoba Feiyuan less agitated.

The radiance he admired seemed to dim upon Tuoba Feiyuan.

How could Tuoba Feiyuan tolerate Lu Fengjin looking at him like that?

Her pride as the daughter of a desert eagle was shattered in an instant!

She had completely forgotten the lessons her older sister, Tuoba Mingyue, had taught her about forbearance and hypocrisy.

She glared at Lu Fengjin, her eyes reddening: "Fine, I, Tuoba Feiyuan, have never relied on men. I don't need you to avenge me today!"

She turned around, glared at Chu Yueli, and gritted her teeth, saying, "One day, I will pay back for today's humiliation with interest. You just wait!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left without ever looking at Lu Fengjin again.

Lu Fengjin saw in her eyes the same stubbornness and arrogance he had initially seen.

All the memories flooded his mind, and in an instant, he softened his heart towards Tuoba Feiyuan again.

He looked at Chu Yueli, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm sorry, she... is stubborn, and it's also because she cares about me too much, thinking that you..."

He pursed his lips before saying, "Ah Li, it's all my fault in the end. I'm sorry, please forgive me."

He left after saying that.

They didn't even bother to greet Lu Beimo, Chu Xiaohe, or the Seventh Princess of Dongzhou.

Tuoba Liuli looked at his retreating figure with disdain: "This is the legendary, unparalleled desert flower that everyone talks about? In my opinion, she's just a spoiled, crazy girl! What makes her so unparalleled?"

Chu Yueli raised an eyebrow, surprised, and asked, "The flower of the desert?"
