Chapter 69 This guy is incredibly tough.
Yin Yi was still a little hesitant, but Yan Ruoyu was out on business and had not yet returned.
Left with no other choice, I went out with He Yuhuan.
When they went to the noodle stall where they had eaten last time, He Yuhuan ate five big bowls, still feeling like she hadn't had enough.
Zhongli Yueluo composed herself and then headed towards Fengling Courtyard.
The atmosphere at Fengling Academy is currently extremely tense.
Because they had just received news that the evil spirits of Ghost Sorrow Abyss had begun to disrupt the order of Taiyin City.
Although it has been temporarily suppressed, it may be difficult to resist if foreign forces come to its aid.
Moreover, they seem to be wreaking havoc with some kind of purpose, while searching for people, specifically the twins!
As soon as Zhongli Yueluo reached the courtyard gate, she could sense that something was wrong inside.
She went inside, and Su Fengjun's brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
He didn't even notice when Zhongli Yueluo approached.
She gently placed her hand on his shoulder, and he instinctively grabbed her, causing her to hiss.
He looked up and saw that it was Zhongli Yueluo. He then awkwardly released her hand, saying, "Princess."
Zhongli Yueluo sat down next to him and looked around, but she didn't see Su Fengling.
She tilted her head, her eyes clear and gentle: "What's wrong, Lord Feng? Has something happened?"
"Everything is exactly as the princess predicted, but I didn't expect them to be so fast." He seemed a little absent-minded.
Zhongli Yuelu patted the back of his hand: "It's okay."
“We are fine, but the people of Taiyin City…” The more he thought about it, the heavier his heart became.
Zhongli Yueluo didn't know how to comfort him.
After all, it was a matter for their Southern Demon Mountain, and she shouldn't interfere too much.
“Princess, you can control the demons.” He suddenly turned around.
She said those words to him very calmly, without revealing any emotion in his eyes.
Zhongli Yueluo shook her head at him: "If you want to use this method to rule the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan, how is that any different from Gongshu Shi and Zhongli Yu?"
Perhaps it was in a moment of desperation that he asked that question.
After Zhongli Yueluo exposed him, he clenched his fist and dared not look at her.
"However, it's not impossible. If the feud between the Su family and the Zisang family can be resolved, we can also provide more assistance."
Zhongli Yueluo poured him a cup of tea and noticed that he had unconsciously squeezed his nails until they turned white, showing how anxious he was.
"Is there something you want to say, Princess?"
He always spoke in such an official manner; they didn't seem like a couple, but more like a superior-subordinate relationship.
“Indeed, the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan will soon become the target of everyone’s hatred, and all forces will have their eyes on you twins.”
"Twins are rare, but they do exist; both the Wuma and Zisang clans have them."
"The Wuma clan is a reclusive clan that rarely concern itself with worldly affairs, while most of the Zisang clan resides in Guichouyuan."
“And since the Zisang clan is cooperating with foreign tribes, the final target will still be my brother and me.”
He was clear-headed and his analysis was very logical and thorough.
Then she looked at Zhongli Yueluo and asked, "If that day really comes, will the princess take my brother's and my eyes?"
She was stunned, her eyes filled with heartache. So this was how he saw her.
She shook her head coldly: "I'd rather take your lives than your eyes."
When she said those words, his expression showed a hint of emotion.
Her eyes were downcast, and she felt a tightness in her chest; he could sense that something was wrong with her.
She also thought about what she had just said, realizing it was too blunt and had hurt her feelings.
He reached out to touch her cheek, but stopped in mid-air and eventually put his hand down.
Zhongli Yueluo noticed his movements and stared intently at him.
He pursed his thin lips, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to explain: "Princess...I..." He paused, his voice becoming increasingly low.
"Ok?"
He sighed softly, his gaze fixed on the distance, his expression somewhat complicated.
"We are both young lords, and we bear responsibilities, so..."
"I know all of this, so I will do my best to keep the Demon Realm at peace."
Su Fengjun was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at her with a mixture of approval and helplessness.
He reached out and gently smoothed her hair, then quickly withdrew his hand.
With his hands hidden in his sleeves and slightly clenched into fists, he restrained his emotions.
His gaze towards her held a restrained emotion.
Zhongli Yueluo got down to business: "Besides you and your brother, do you know any other Wind Spirit Twins?"
"how?"
"Before they make a move, we'll find them, protect them, or... kill them!"
Her eyes were icy cold, as if she had become a completely different person.
She was clearly an innocent and naive girl before.
It felt very incongruous for her to say such things.
But then I thought that this might be her true nature, after all, she was also a young lord.
"Zisang clan, fallen flowers, fallen leaves, abilities unknown," he replied succinctly.
Zhongli Yueluo nodded, but in reality, their abilities should be roughly the same.
As for the Zisang clan... the fact that they would choose to cooperate with Gongshu Liang is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.
There is no longer a question of good or bad between the Su family and the Zisang family; it is only a matter of success or failure. The winners will write history, and that is inevitable.
She nodded, her hand already writing talismans in the air.
The Shadow Guard appeared from the shadows, cupping his hands in greeting: "What are your orders, Princess?"
"Check the fallen mulberry blossoms and leaves."
She nodded and disappeared into the shadows; she sighed and placed her hand on the table.
Looking at Su Fengjun sideways, they are both young lords and brothers, so why is there such a big difference?
She touched his hair with her hand, twirling it around her fingertips.
He asked casually, "If—and I mean if—I were to set you free, would you leave immediately?"
Su Fengjun trembled slightly, but did not dodge her hand.
His voice was slightly hoarse: "If it could really be like that... I..." He hesitated, then finally let out a soft sigh.
Zhongli Yueluo narrowed her eyes, revealing a hint of possessiveness.
I just said it casually, I hope this man doesn't actually take it seriously, huh!
"If you really want to leave, I'll count to three now, and you'll disappear from my sight." There was a hint of defiance in his tone.
The Wind Spirit Ghost Clan has always been traditional; once they marry, they rarely separate.
Her words made him feel a pang of heartache.
He remained seated, his gaze fixed intently on Zhongli Yueluo.
His voice was soft but firm: "I won't leave." He reached out and took her hand, which was wrapped around his hair.
He gently put her down, not daring to look at her, and his face flushed slightly.
Upon hearing his reply, Zhongli Yueluo smiled and grabbed his collar, bringing the two very close together.
"I'm going to visit your room again tonight. You're not going to kick me out again, are you?"
He shook his head but spoke very rationally: "Princess, you should go to your brother's room tonight, after all, you were with Yan Shaojun last night."
Zhongli Yueluo gradually loosened her grip on his collar. This man was incredibly stubborn and rational.
