"Are you really not afraid of death"An Xuetang's lips curled into a smirk of derision. "I fear death Does it matter whether I die or not People die when their time comes, so what am I afraid of""Haha...So seeing Ning'er always evading and unwilling to face the problem, Yunliu just couldn't understand.

I can't understand why Ning'er keeps rejecting him time and time again. Every time, she avoids him like a venomous snake.

It's obvious to everyone that Ning'er has feelings for him and is interested in him.

Why won't she just follow her heart Why can't she listen to it and go with the flow

At this moment, Yunliu's attitude is very stubborn, and Ning'er purses her lips.

Looking at Yunliu's serious face, she couldn't bring herself to speak. She didn't know how to explain things to Yunliu.

It wasn't that she willingly chose to be heartless and emotionless. Back then, the Valley Master was willing to save her, willing to personally teach these people martial arts, willing to let her stay in Xintang Valley. The only condition was that they all had to renounce love and affection for the rest of their lives.

Once they violated this condition, the lighter punishment was to abandon their martial arts and leave Xumintang.

The more serious consequence is that she has to end her own life. So she and Yunliu are impossible, because she doesn't want to leave Xuntang Valley, nor does she want to leave the princess's side, unwilling to become a white-eyed wolf.

She didn't want to ever stop seeing the people around her, so she couldn't respond to Yun Liu's feelings.

Just look at what happened to Fu'er. She fell in love, she had thoughts she shouldn't have had, so the Valley Master couldn't tolerate her, and Xuntang Valley could even less tolerate her.

She didn't want to follow in Fu'er's footsteps, so no matter how clearly she understood Yunliu's feelings or how much she wanted to respond to him, she couldn't.

There are some things she can't gamble on, nor dare to.

Ning'er's deep eyes stared at Yunliu for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't explain anything.

"Right now, I'm just shaking my head slightly at Yunliu and saying in a low voice, "Don't be self-delusional. My daughter Ning'er is truly heartless and unloving. It's impossible for her to reciprocate anyone's feelings. I won't marry in this lifetime, and I will never have children with anyone."

"My purpose in this life is only to protect the princess. My life belongs to the princess, so you shouldn't make these unnecessary efforts, nor should you act rashly and go find our valley master. Yunliu, remember this clearly: there can never be any possibility between you and me!"

Saying these insincere words, Ning'er only felt a pain that was like a knife twisting in her heart. But she still forced herself to finish speaking:

"Yunliu, listen to me. I won't say things like this again in the future. If you still have feelings for me and continue to do things that embarrass me, I will resign from my position as a member of the royal court and return to our Xintang Valley base to be responsible for developing explosives."

Yunliu: “!”

He heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief, his lips parted as if to speak but no words came out.

So, is Ning'er threatening him!

If he continues to pester her, Ning'er will leave the capital and depart from the Beijang Wangfu.

After Ning'er finished speaking, she didn't care about Yunliu's reaction and turned to leave directly.

His back was resolute, with not a moment's hesitation.

Yunliu sat listlessly on the bed, his eyes vacant as he watched Ning'er walk away.

Until Ning'er closed the door, he kept that breath in his chest, but the moment she did, it all suddenly deflated. He was instantly listless and despondent.

Turning to look at the empty room, Yunliu let out a sigh and gradually lay down.

He stared blankly upward, having to admit that he was indeed hurt by Ning'er's words just now.

Although I know Ning'er is just saying insincere things, pretending to not care is a lie.

Ninger denied, with her own words, that there was mutual love between the two of them. She denied having feelings for him.

If he said he wasn't sad, that his heart was undisturbed, it would all be a lie.

But he couldn't stop it.

After lying in bed and feeling sad for a while, Yunliu finally let out a deep sigh.

What else could he do He chose the girl himself, no matter how hurtful her words were, he had to pamper her, didn't he

He certainly knew that everything Ning'er said was just anger, all to make him give up. However, Yunliu was not the kind of person who would let go so easily.

He was well aware that the biggest obstacle between him and Ning'er right now was Fengming.

So when Fengming returns, he should go and ask him personally why he and Ning'er can't be together

If he can't solve the Pheonix Cry himself, then it's no big deal for the Princess and Prince to step in.

Didn't their king tell them that on the battlefield

One must learn to borrow arrows by crafting boats.

If he can't solve Fengming by himself, then he might as well borrow the abilities of their prince and princess.

He wouldn't believe that so many people coming forward still couldn't overcome a Phoenix Ming.

……

After Ning'er came out of Yunliu's room, she ran into Shou'er who was standing in the courtyard.

Shou'er now looked at Ning'er with a complicated expression. The two stared at each other in silence for a long while before Shou'er gave Ning'er a look, signaling her to follow.

Ning'er pursed her lips slightly, realizing that Shou'er wanted to tell her something.

At this point, the two of them slowly walked to a secluded place in the palace.

Standing by the lake, Shou'er's gaze was fixed on the placid surface of the water, without a word.

Nor was Ning'er in a hurry, and she followed Shou'er's gaze, looking at the lake.

After a long silence, Shou'er let out a deep sigh, her voice heavy with resignation. "So, Ning'er... have you been deliberately avoiding Yunliu this entire time because you can't bear to face him Ning'er, do you still remember the only requirement our Valley Master has for us"

Hearing Shou'er ask this, Ning'er's face grew serious, and she answered without hesitation, "Of course I remember. Rest assured, no matter what, I could never go back on our promise."

After Ning'er made her promise, Shou'er sighed deeply again. Indeed, the most perplexing thing in the world is love.

The four of them had trained diligently in the valley since they were young. She believed that when they left the valley, her four sisters would stay true to their original aspirations and always remember their promises made back then.

But sometime, everything changed. Fu'er was the first to forget her mission, forgetting who they were born for.

They had even forgotten the reason their leader had saved them and brought them back to the valley to personally teach them martial arts.

Fu'er met such a tragic end because she became less greedy and forgot the reason their valley master had saved them in the first place. They were saved so that they could become strong enough to protect their valley master's most beloved sister.

Of course Shou'er didn't want to see another sister who had shared life and death with her suffer the same fate as Fu'er.

So after some thought, Shouer still said, "Looking at Yunliu's appearance these past few days, he doesn't seem like someone who would give up easily. But as you know, our Valley Master can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. If we let Yunliu continue doing whatever he wants, not only will the Valley Master take action against you, I'm afraid Yunliu himself will suffer as well."

"In my opinion, when the lord of the valley and the princess return, Ning'er, you should proactively transfer away from the capital first."

"Things like feelings might change over time and distance." After saying that, Shou'er turned her head to stare straight into Ning'er's eyes, "Ning'er, what do you think" loving relationships softened her, making her appear weak and vulnerableShe stayed silent like that, truly worrying Mo Yun Jing. Especially when he leaned in close to her ear and softly called her na...
