"Woman, will you... protect ?"
Even though it was just a single sentence, it made him feel that all he had done was finally worthwhile...
Mu Ruyue’s fingers stiffened slightly, and with lashes gently lowered, she spoke faintly, "I simply don’t want anyone getting hurt for my sake."
"That’s enough."
Feng Jingtian slowly closed those Phoenix Eyes, a satisfied smile curling at his lips.
To have this was enough... he was already content.
"Feng Jingtian, take the Holy Returning Pill first. It can heal your wounds." Mu Ruyue picked up an Elixir and handed it to Feng Jingtian.
Feng Jingtian opened his eyes and gazed at the Holy Returning Pill in front of him, the corners of his lips lifting into a smile. Without hesitation, he took it, carefully wrapping it in red cloth, and then tucked it into his garnts.
"I’ll take it after I return."
It was the first ti she gave him sothing, making it a commoration, so this Elixir he would treasure for a lifeti.
"Woman, while it’s still possible, let take you away."
"No!"
Mu Ruyue shook her head. "Xiao Yue is in his hands, and I cannot leave for the ti being. Moreover, I need to obtain the Ancient Divine Artifact from him. He used that Ancient Divine Artifact to send Wuchen sowhere, and only by obtaining it can I leave..."
Feng Jingtian’s brows moved slightly, a resolute glow erging in those Phoenix Eyes.
"No matter what, I will help you!"
"It’s not necessary," Mu Ruyue raised her head, gazing at the stunning face of the man. "I don’t want to drag you down again. Feng Jingtian, let’s part ways here. Also, don’t marry Xiao Jing. Bei Jun aims to use the child you two would bear to complete his great wisdom, at which point we will be powerless to stop him!"
Feng Jingtian said nothing, yet his inner thoughts remained unknown...
...
Within the Xiang Pavilion, light veils fluttered chaotically. Mu Ruyue sat cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, a sharp gaze directed at the petite figure outside the door.
Xiao Jing walked in with a complicated expression, her gaze fixed firmly on Mu Ruyue. Clenching her lips, she asked, "Why do you not accept my godfather’s love?"
Mu Ruyue glanced at her before slowly closing her eyes again.
"You..." Xiao Jing hadn’t expected her to ignore her, angrily said, "Such an outstanding man like my godfather, how can you have the heart to hurt him? Since I’ve known him for so many years, he’s always been ruthless, yet for you, he’s spared Feng Jingtian whom he intended to harm! He’s been so good to you, why won’t you accept him? I really don’t know what my godfather sees in you. You are fearless because of his love for you! You don’t deserve him at all!"
Mu Ruyue never cast a glance at Xiao Jing, her expression calmly unperturbed.
Xiao Jing’s face flushed with anger, her eyes gradually tainted with flas of fury. "Did you hear what I said? It’s your fortune that my godfather fancies you. Don’t be ungrateful! A powerful and noble figure like him, so many won dream of becoming his wife, yet he remained pure for you all these years. But you..."
Yet it made my godfather so heartbroken!
Mu Ruyue suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze growing colder. "If you know nothing, then stop barking like a mad dog. I want so peace and quiet. Leave."
In the previous life, though the two were archenemies, they had always admired each other...
In those days within the Central Province, only a Bei Jun could be her adversary...
