The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

Although the two were very close when they were young, they were separated for nearly twenty years.

If Ye Feng were to make intimate gestures upon first meeting, it would seem very abrupt and offensive.

"Thank you for taking care of my parents all these years."

"It's nothing, it's what I should do."

A blush crossed Mu Fei'er's face.

Generally, the practice of women helping men fulfill their filial duties only occurs between husband and wife.

Su Qi, who was still in shock, seemed to realize something. His expression turned to endless disappointment, and he staggered back two steps.

"Fei'er, so he's the person you've been searching for all these years?"

Upon hearing Su Qi's voice, Mu Feier finally remembered that her husband was still by her side.

She looked at Su Qi with some panic, and when she saw Su Qi's disappointed and pained expression, Mu Feier felt a pang in her heart.

"Sister Fei'er, who is this?"

"he is……"

Mu Feier looked conflicted, but before she could continue, Su Qi suddenly interrupted her.

“I am Fei’er’s friend, and I am here with her to sweep her grave.”

A forced smile appeared on her pretty face.

Mu Fei'er was stunned when she heard Su Qi's self-introduction.

"So you're Fei'er's friend. My name is Ye Feng, and Fei'er and I are childhood sweethearts."

Mu Feier could clearly see that Su Qi's face paled a few degrees when he heard the words "childhood sweetheart".

"So... you were childhood sweethearts. No wonder Fei'er has been so devoted to you all these years. She practically turned the entire Eastern Region upside down looking for you."

Su Qi forced a smile, his hands clenched into fists behind his back, his fingertips digging deep into his flesh, piercing his skin without him even noticing.

He looked at Mu Feier with eyes filled with countless complex emotions.

"Since you haven't seen each other for over ten years, then I, the... third party, will not bother you any longer. I happen to have something to do."

After saying that, he bit his lip as if he was trying his best to suppress something, and then turned and left.

Ye Feng didn't see it, but Mu Feier did. When Su Qi turned around, she couldn't help but shed tears.

“Su Qi…”

Seeing him about to leave, Mu Feier instinctively called out, but after calling out, she didn't know what to say next.

Su Qi paused without turning around.

"Fei'er, you should catch up with Ye Feng. Don't worry about me."

After saying that, he didn't give Mu Feier a chance to speak and quickly left.

He left in a hurry and in a disheveled state, and his hands, dripping with blood, were accidentally exposed.

The sight of it sent a shiver down Mu Fei'er's spine.

“Su Qi…”

"So this fairy's name is Su Qi? She's Fei'er's junior sister?"

Ye Feng was incredibly excited at that moment.

So, my little sister Fei'er has been searching for me all these years. Does that mean I have a great chance...?

Watching Su Qi's departing figure and hearing Ye Feng's words, Mu Feier's expression became one of painful struggle.

She turned back and looked at Ye Feng with a complicated expression.

This gave Ye Feng, who was overjoyed, a bad feeling.

“Brother Ye Feng, he…”

Mu Feier opened her mouth, she really wanted to rekindle her relationship with Ye Feng, but... in the end, they missed each other.

She is now someone else's wife.

She wanted to explain things to Ye Feng, but found herself unable to say it.

Because she knew that once she spoke out, there would be no possibility for her and Ye Feng to ever be together again.

The words Su Qi spoke before leaving, and his claim to be a friend.

All of these were implying to Mu Feier that Su Qi was willing to let go and grant their wish.

but……

Thinking of that single tear Su Qi shed before leaving...

And that fist, dripping with blood and clenched tightly...

You bastard Su Qi, what do you take me for?

Taking a deep breath, Mu Feier's gaze hardened.

"Brother Ye Feng, he's not some fairy, he's a man. And he's not my friend, he's... my Daoist partner!"

Su Qi was not surprised by Mu Feier's choice.

After all, in the previous life, even though the original owner and Mu Feier had no feelings for each other, Mu Feier still upheld her duties as a wife for his sake and wanted to sever ties with Ye Feng.

This is a principled female protagonist. Even without feelings, she will always remember her identity as Su Qi's wife until Su Qi dies.

Mu Fei'er's words froze Ye Feng's smile on his face, forcing a smile out of his lips.

"Sister Fei'er, are you kidding me? That Fairy Su Qi just now, he didn't look like a man at all, did he?"

“I’m not joking, he is my Daoist partner. The entire cultivation world of the Eastern Region knows that we got married three years ago.”

At this point, Mu Feier pursed her lips, her eyes slightly red as she looked at Ye Feng.

"Brother Ye Feng, I'm sorry, I... I only see you as a brother."

He glanced in the direction Su Qi had left.

“I’m leaving now. He’s a stupid person and he’s easily provoked to do something impulsive. I’m worried that something bad might happen to him.”

Mu Feier left, afraid that if she stayed any longer, she might impulsively do something with Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was left standing there alone, his expression somewhat grim.

"Kid, she's lying. She still has feelings for you, but her status as a married woman prevents her from facing her true feelings," Elder Mu reminded him in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's expression softened slightly, but he remained gloomy, his eyes flickering as if he were deep in thought.

……

On another mountaintop, Su Qi gazed at the two separated pillars of fortune, his expression no longer showing the previous disappointment and pain; instead, a devilish smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

The smile that appears wicked on others shows no malice on his face. Instead of instilling fear, it evokes a desire to cruelly torment him.

Seeing Mu Feier searching for him everywhere, he didn't rush to show himself, and just watched her search around like a headless fly.

Su Qi even deliberately avoided her.

After searching the mountain without success, Mu Feier went to Pingnan City to search again, but still couldn't find it.

Then she went back to the Cloud Mist Immortal Sect and searched again, but still couldn't find a single hair of Su Qi.

Worried that Su Qi might do something rash, she went directly to Du Yunyi and asked her to use the sect leader's token to locate Su Qi's position.

When Mu Feier arrived, Su Qi was sitting alone on the edge of the cliff, his hands on his knees, staring blankly ahead.

Seeing that he was alright, Mu Feier breathed a sigh of relief and hesitated before walking to his side.

Seeing Su Qi's red, swollen eyes, she felt even more guilty.

"I'm sorry, I did search for him for over ten years, but he and I..."

"Fei'er, when you saw him, you shook off my hand." Su Qi kept looking ahead, as if he were muttering to himself, without even glancing at Mu Fei'er.

"That is……"

"That's an action from your heart, there's no faking it, you love him!"

"I...I'm sorry..." Mu Fei'er didn't know how to explain, so she could only apologize again.

Suddenly, Su Qi stood up and looked at the cliff that cut across the entire mountain range.

"The scenery here is so beautiful, we've spent the whole day looking at it without even realizing it. Fei'er, how about we name this place? What do you think of 'Cliff of Broken Hearts'? Does it sound nice?"

Broken Love Cliff...

Mu Fei'er's face turned pale.

Whose affections are being severed?

Me and Brother Ye Feng?

No… knowing Su Qi's character, he wouldn't have the heart to hurt others. He's severing his own feelings to allow me and Brother Ye Feng to be together…
