nything by it, you can't just stare at my husband like that!"Alright, alright, you have your way."The man in purple scoffed inwardly. The man on the wheelchair was handsome, sure, but he wasn't bad lo...Upon hearing her words, Xunluo was shocked, "Fu'er... how could you possibly have such thoughts"

Fu'er raised her eyes to look at Xunluo, gave a wry smile, and said, "Do you think I'm overreaching myself, being too sentimental"

She didn't want to, but she couldn't control herself. The kiss from Fengming was something she wanted to forget. She also wished that Fengming wouldn't appear in her dreams every night.

She didn't know why until a few days ago, when she saw him watching her swallow the poison with an emotionless face. Her heart turned cold, and for the first time, she felt the despair of complete hopelessness.

At that moment, she finally understood what love truly was. She had fallen in love with Fengming!

Love can drive a person insane, making them lose their reason!

She refused to believe that Feng Ming would actually kill her for An Xue Tang, but the killing intent in his eyes just now had sobered her completely.

He will, when it comes to An Xue Tang's matter, he truly will kill her!

He hesitated, not knowing how to tell Fu'er. He moved his lips, then finally choked out a sentence, "Do you still want to go back to the side of the Princess"

Fu'er's expression solidified, and after a long period of contemplation, she shook her head. "No, I'm afraid that if I see him unconditionally good to the Princess Consort, spoiling her without limits, I won't be able to control my heart, I won't be able to control my jealousy."

Once, Feng Ming told them: Anyone can become malicious, as long as you've tasted the bitterness of jealousy.

Now that she finally tasted it, but she didn't want to become bitter, so she couldn't let herself fall into it anymore, she had to leave!

Xunluo frowned, "Then..."

"I'll return to the valley to help the Princess find the materials she needs. Rest assured, my loyalty to the Princess will always be my life's purpose. Even though I can't be by her side, it won't stop me from living for her."

When Xúnluò learned of Fú'er's thoughts, he did not dare to have the thought of letting Fú'er continue to stay by the Princess's side. Because just like them, his duty in this life was to protect the Princess with his life.

Anyone who could potentially harm the princess, must be kept away from her in their subconscious. This is what Feng Ming has always done, and this is what they continue to do.

Their only purpose in seeking Tang Valley was to protect An Xue Tang!

Seeing Xunluo's embarrassed expression, Fu'er gave a wry smile and said nonchalantly, "Xunluo, you should go back. I'll be back at Xuntang Valley tomorrow morning and will send you a message when I arrive."

Xunluo thought for a moment, and it seemed like this was the only way out. He nodded, "Alright, be careful."

"Take good care of him for me."

Xunluo knew who Fu'er was talking about. He hummed in response and then got up to leave.

Though the guild leader was angry, she ultimately didn't harm Fu'er. Fu'er is fine and with her skills, there's nothing for the guild leader to worry about.

After Xulun left, Fu'er closed her eyes tightly. Perhaps this was for the best. This way, she wouldn't have to endure the daily torment, the daily envy of the princess, and the daily worry that she would harbor resentment towards her.

The next day, An Xue Tang woke up and soon noticed something was wrong. Ning'er, who usually hid her emotions well, seemed down in the dumps this time, a feeling she could clearly see.

And there's Fu'er, today her figure is nowhere to be seen in the courtyard. Logically speaking, last night it was Shou'er and Kang'er who kept watch for a few hours, and then early this morning it was Ning'er and Fu'er who took over the shift.

So now you should be able to see Fu'er getting ready her breakfast.

After washing her face and changing her clothes, An Xue Tang grabbed Ning'er's hand, her eyes searching hers. "Ning'er, tell me the truth, did something happen to you and the others"

Ning'er pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Your Highness, Fu'er has returned to Tanggu."

"Huh So sudden Why go back all of a sudden"

"This was the Valley Master's arrangement, as for the specifics, this servant is not very clear."

This excuse was given to them early in the morning by Feng Ming, so no matter who An Xue Tang asked, the answer was always the same.

An Xuetang frowned. "So you look so listless this morning just because of this"

Ning'er quickly apologized, "Your Highness, I am sorry. It was my fault for being negligent."

In her eyes, her own exposed emotions had affected her master, and that was her dereliction of duty.

An Xuetang let out a deep sigh. She was helpless towards such Ning'er, but she knew that some things in her bones were unchangeable. "Alright, I'll go ask my elder brother for clarification."

After saying that, An Xuetang let go of Ning'er and walked straight out.

As soon as she stepped out, Feng Ming had already appeared in her courtyard. He would wait for An Xue Tang to have breakfast together every day because he knew now that if he ate one meal, he could skip another.

In his final moments, he wanted to be selfish. He wanted to eat with her and not care if Mo Yunjing got jealous.

Feng Ming saw her come out and instantly beamed, "Lazybones, you're finally up."

Facing Feng Ming's smiling face, An Xue Tang didn't fall for it. She scowled and said, "Brother, come in with me, I have something to ask you."

Feng Ming naturally knew what she wanted to ask, and there was no intention of hiding at the moment.

The two entered the room. Before An Xuetang could ask, Feng Ming spoke first, "Fu'er must leave."

An Xuetang pursed her lips, "Why"

Feng Ming strolled leisurely to An Xue Tang's side and said softly, "There isn't that much of a reason. She just suddenly realized that life in the valley was more suitable for her."

An Xuetang gave him a withering glance and scoffed, "Speak plainly."

Feng Ming smiled helplessly and lovingly rubbed her head. "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you. Fu'er made a mistake, so this seat punished her to return to the valley for reflection. However, this seat discovered that she is indeed suitable for managing affairs in the valley. She won't appear here anymore. You have Ning'er and the other three by your side, which is enough."

"What exactly did Fu'er do wrong She's always been by my side, how could I not know she made a mistake"

Feng Ming did not answer An Xue Tang's question. His deep eyes stared at her and suddenly asked, "A Tang, do you trust me"

"As long as I am resolute in not staying by your side, don't ask too much, just listen to me. Everything I do is for you. I know what you want to ask, I can only say there's a saying... Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed."

"!"

An Xuetang's heart skipped a beat. She knew how she came to this world, and she also knew about Feng Ming's situation. When he said this, it reminded her of many things. After a moment of silence, she nodded, "Okay, I won't ask."

Feng Ming reached out and rubbed her head, "That's a good girl."

But An Xuetang still glared at him, "But no matter what, you can't be cruel and scold Fushou Kangning. They are my people, I can't bear to scold them, you can't be too much!"

Feng Ming quickly surrendered, "Okay, okay, they're all yours. I won't fight or scold you, alright"

An Xuetang pursed her lips, "That's better."

Two people were chatting in the room when Ning'er suddenly knocked on the door, "Your Highness, there's an uninvited guest at the estate."

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes. Who would come at this timened, while Feng Ming simply rolled her eyes, knowing she couldn't win against her. She didn't bother arguing with her anymore at this point.An Xuetang saw that Kang'er's sleeve had a few torn places....
