Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Yue hesitated for a long time before finally leaving.

Unbeknownst to her, Lu Yunfei, who was in the distance, had not actually left, but was standing behind the tent, silently watching her figure.

Even long after Chu Yue left, he still stared at the empty place, lost in thought, his gaze lingering there.

He didn't know how much time had passed before Lu Yunfei finally looked away. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw Yuwen Ying standing not far behind him.

Lu Yunfei's face darkened, and the light in his eyes immediately disappeared.

He didn't know how long Yuwen Ying had been standing there, what she had seen, or even when she had arrived.

"Was it because you were so engrossed in watching her that you didn't even notice when I arrived?" Yuwen Ying walked towards him.

Lu Yunfei's gaze immediately turned cold as he glared at her: "I don't know what you're talking about."

He turned to leave.

“You like her, you can’t lie to me,” Yuwen Ying said softly.

Lu Yunfei turned around abruptly in anger, glaring at her with icy eyes: "If you keep spouting nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"I'm not going to tell anyone, why are you panicking?"

"you……"

“Ninth Prince, shall we talk? You can’t just kill me to silence me, so let’s have a proper chat?” Yuwen Ying walked up to him.

"Not interested!" Lu Yunfei turned to leave again.

Yuwen Ying said helplessly, "Then how about I go and have a chat with Prince Mo?"

"You dare!" Lu Yunfei really wanted to kill her, but it was because he was angry with her, not because he wanted to silence her.

He wouldn't be so depraved as to be that insane.

"If you don't want me to talk to Prince Mo or Princess Mo, then let's have a proper talk?" Yuwen Ying smiled at him. "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. It's just that your feelings are indeed inappropriate."

"I never intended to do anything to her!" Lu Yunfei exuded an aura of resistance.

"Of course I know, and I know that if you could, you'd rather you'd never liked her at all. But you can't control your feelings, can you?"

Lu Yunfei remained silent.

Yuwen Ying then said, "Ninth Prince, this is not a good place to talk. Why don't we go to your tent and have a cup of tea?"

Lu Yunfei was unwilling to take her inside, but his mind was indeed in turmoil.

It's a complete mess.

Finally, he entered his tent.

Yuwen Ying personally brewed a pot of tea and pushed a warm cup of tea in front of him: "When did you find out?"

He remained silent, his thoughts drifting back to memories from long ago.

When did he discover it? Perhaps it was on that day, the moment the enchantress drugged him and knocked him unconscious.

The panic in his heart almost completely overwhelmed him.

At that time, he even spoke the words aloud.

I love you, enchantress.

But the demoness did not hear it.

Fortunately, she didn't hear it.

Yuwen Ying waited quietly for a very long time, and finally, she heard him say, "Just when I thought she was going to die..."

Yuwen Ying felt a pang of sadness, but she still managed a smile.

"Then, when did you fall in love with her?"

Lu Yunfei didn't speak, but looked down at the cup in his hand. Finally, he raised the cup and took a small sip.

Yuwen Ying remained very patient and waited.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yunfei said quietly, "I don't know... I only know that when she was about to go on an adventure alone, her heart ached terribly, almost to the point of death."
