Chapter 130: The one in one's heart

……

"I have other things to do!"

Not wanting to lose her life here, Dugu Yan jumped to the ground, grabbed her shoes, and ran.

"Stepping on a back is like being caught in the act of adultery," Nan Feng complained.

"Look at how scared the little girl was by you two?"

"I didn't say anything," Bibi Dong and A Rou walked in.

"It was her own guilty conscience."

"Right now it's just stepping on a back; who knows where she'd be stepping later~"

"It's not like you haven't stepped on it before," Nan Feng said.

"……"

"Should I... avoid the scene?" A Rou asked strangely.

"What's there to avoid?" Nan Feng stretched and lay back down.

"You can step on it too, I don't mind."

"……"

"I'll avoid the scene."

A Rou picked up the Blue Silver Emperor on the table and turned to run.

"What's wrong?" Tang Yuehua, who had just brought over tea, bumped into A Rou.

"Don't go in yet," A Rou stopped Tang Yuehua.

"They are playing an exciting little game."

Tang Yuehua was stunned, her face slightly flushed. "A little game?"

"What little game?"

Bang! Bang, bang, bang!!! Tang Yuehua's expression froze.

It was indeed exciting enough!

……

At the same time, Dugu Yan, who had fled from Yuexuan, returned to the Tiandou Royal Academy and happened to run into the Crown Prince, who had come to inspect the academy's situation.

"Yan Zi? What's wrong with you?" Xue Qinghe looked suspiciously at Dugu Yan, who looked flustered and very strange.

"Ah?" Dugu Yan was stunned, her expression becoming even more unnatural.

"No... nothing."

Xue Qinghe walked up, lowered his head, and sniffed the scent on Dugu Yan. "Did that guy have an incident?"

This was the floral scent of Yuexuan. Nan Feng had been living at Yuexuan during this time, and Dugu Yan had clearly just come from there.

"Uh... I went to see Lingling," Dugu Yan said nervously.

"Where is she?" Qian Renxue asked.

"She went to the Sunset Forest," Dugu Yan said.

Qian Renxue's eyes changed slightly. "She ate it too?"

Ye Lingling was only level 35; why would she go to the Sunset Forest? "Yes." Dugu Yan nodded. Anyway, Qian Renxue would find out after Ye Lingling returned.

Qian Renxue paused and patted Dugu Yan on the shoulder. "What are you panicking about?"

"I'm not," Dugu Yan swallowed.

"Not?" Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes slightly.

"What did you do with him?"

"Nothing!" Dugu Yan hurriedly denied.

Qian Renxue's feelings for Nan Feng were even more awkward!

Even if Bibi Dong took action, she would just beat Nan Feng up, but Qian Renxue would truly kill her! "Don't be nervous." Qian Renxue expressionlessly helped Dugu Yan straighten her collar.

"I'm just worried that you've been deceived by that bastard and are still helping him hide things."

Dugu Yan's expression was a bit stiff. "How could that be..."

"Really nothing?" Qian Renxue asked softly.

"Really nothing!" Dugu Yan looked innocent.

Nan Feng treated them all with the attitude of an old father; even if she had feelings, Nan Feng wouldn't go along with it!

"It's good that there's nothing." Qian Renxue straightened up.

"Is he at Yuexuan?"

"Yes." Dugu Yan nodded.

"The Spirit Master Tournament isn't far off. You still need to work hard; after all, the people from the Spirit Hall..." Qian Renxue frowned slightly.

Hu Liena had already broken through to Soul Emperor, and Xie Yue and Yan should be close too.

Even if Dugu Yan could break through to level 60 in the next two years, the Spirit Hall had three Soul Emperors; she still couldn't win! "Don't always run to Yuexuan in the future," Qian Renxue said. "Although Qin Ming has left, you cannot slack off."

"Yes!" Dugu Yan nodded.

"I'm going to train now."

"Wait a moment." Qian Renxue pulled Dugu Yan back.

"How are things between you and Yu Tianheng?"

"Ah?" Dugu Yan was stunned.

"I see you two are quite close. How come there's no progress?" Qian Renxue said.

Dugu Yan looked strange. "He's pursuing me, but I didn't agree."

"Why didn't you agree?" Qian Renxue asked.

"I think Yu Tianheng is quite good, and he's the future Young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Are you not moved at all?"

Dugu Yan's eye twitched. "Even if he were the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, it would have nothing to do with me, right? He and I are just friends and teammates."

"I see..." Qian Renxue nodded.

"In that case, you already have someone in your heart?"

"Who? Tell me about it; perhaps I can even act as a matchmaker for you."

"I... I don't, I don't have anyone in my heart." Dugu Yan was about to cry.

What kind of hell is this!! If she had known, she would have been better off staying at Yuexuan! ……

"What are you doing in Tiandou City? Missing your old lover?"

Nan Feng, having been beaten up, started acting provocatively again.

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes. "Did I go too easy on you?"

"Seriously, he's at the Lanba Academy right now. Why don't you go see him?" Nan Feng said.

"Continuing to drag it out isn't a solution."

Bibi Dong's eyes were somewhat complex. "How do you want me to resolve it?"

"It doesn't matter to me; it's mainly about you," Nan Feng said.

"If you truly can't let him go..."

Nan Feng took out a pill. "You can just give this to him."

Bibi Dong's heart tightened. "What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything; I just don't want you to keep dwelling in the past," Nan Feng said.

"I know what you're thinking, but you should look forward."

"I'm not trying to force you to let go. Whether you let go or not is your freedom; I won't interfere, and I certainly won't force you to let go."

"However..."

Slap! "What do you mean?" Bibi Dong said with a cold face.

"Don't resort to violence at every turn," Nan Feng said.

"You know, even if you chopped me up, I wouldn't feel anything."

"If you want to get serious, you should use the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor to devour my soul; that's the only way to kill me."

"……"

"What exactly do you mean?" Bibi Dong asked.

"How long have we known each other?" Nan Feng asked.

"Almost seventeen years, right?"

"I've been in this world for twenty years and known you for seventeen. From the City of Slaughter to the Spirit Hall, all these years, we've shared both joys and sorrows."

"I tell you everything, almost without any secrets, even telling you how many lives I have. There is no one in this world who understands me better than you."

"But... why is it that you just won't believe me?"

"I..." Bibi Dong lowered her head with a complex expression.

"After all these years, what more do I need to prove?" Nan Feng asked.

"What exactly are you afraid of? And what are you worried about?"

"……"

"You aren't doubting yourself; you are doubting me," Nan Feng stood up.

"I used to think you couldn't let go of your past, but now I suddenly realize you aren't unable to let go; all your concerns stem from your suspicion of me."

"It looks like you believe in me and support me, but in reality, you are also afraid of me, just like them."

"You have never truly believed in me, even now."

"Right?"

"……"
