Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 484 Junior Sister, Don't Cry

Feng Siyue pursed her lips, feeling only sorrow in her heart.

She knew very well that this was none of his business.

Under those circumstances, even as the Holy Son of the Chaoyang Holy Palace, he was powerless to destroy the Devouring Demon Disc, yet he still apologized to her for the second time three years later.

She's a chosen one of heaven, what merits does she possess?

She should resent him, because his promise of a father standing idly by left her with a lingering hope.

But in the end, she couldn't bring herself to complain.

The biggest culprit behind Ali's death was her arrogance and youthful ignorance!

It was her naive passion and her saintly heart that exceeded her own abilities!

She wouldn't listen to advice!

Also because of a chance encounter when I was young.

She despised herself for being influenced by the very person she should have resented, even in the face of her best friend's death.

She didn't know how to face this person; the countless cold words she encountered became her only mask.

Even now, this remains true.

Gongzi Qi then whispered, "Qingli Academy escaped the calamity in Qianshui City thanks to the closed-door protection array set up by the two quasi-god ancestors."

"Including Fu Yunshan and nineteen others, three from the Royal Academy, two from the Taiqing Sword Sect, you and Cang Li, and thirteen independent cultivators, there are a total of thirty-nine people."

Thirty-nine...

Feng Siyue suddenly remembered something, and her eyes turned cold.

She seems to have alerted the enemy.

If these people from the Royal Academy have a problem with Lu Rong, then her investigation into what happened back then has probably already been discovered by the person behind the scenes.

The young man turned his head to look at her and noticed her slightly red eyes and the water stains on her right cheek.

His eyes flickered for a moment before he slowly spoke, "In addition, of these thirty-nine people, Cang Li died. Four died from Qingli Academy, one from Taiqing Sword Sect, and two were rogue cultivators."

"So far, there are thirty survivors besides you."

she cried.

"How did you die?"

"The injuries were too severe, and treatment came too late."

Feng Siyue remained silent for a moment.

Gongzi Qi walked to the front of her, bent down and used a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face, and whispered,

“Junior sister, I was wrong to you three years ago, which made you distrustful. You can scold me or hit me.”

"Negative emotions are bad for your health, don't cry."

Don't cry.

Two words that were clearly meant to soothe her, yet they caused the walls Feng Siyue had built up over the past three years to crumble. Her eyes widened, tears streaming silently down her face as she stared at him intently.

a long time.

"Young Master Qi, you're a complete bastard."

"A bastard who doesn't keep his word."

In a world where no one else was around, the woman's voice was hoarse from sobbing, without any tremor of crying, but the endless tears in her eyes seemed to tell the whole story of the past few years of heartbreak.

Looking at the tearful eyes before him, Gongzi Qi felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He thought, some things... are out of control.

The young man continued wiping away his tears, bending down to gently comfort him, "It's my fault. I'm sorry, it won't happen again."

"Junior sister, don't cry."

The woman cried even more.

Unable to do anything else, Gongzi Qi remained silent and quietly stayed by her side, wiping away her tears.

a long time.

Feng Siyue cried for a long time with red eyes before she slowly stopped. She belatedly realized what she had done and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

She lowered her head and saw the almost soaking wet handkerchief in the other person's hand, feeling even more embarrassed. "Th...thank you."

The young man gently stroked her head reassuringly.

"Junior sister, whatever you want to do, just ask if I can help you. Consider it as me making up for my inability to help you back then."

Feng Siyue initially wanted to say she could do it, but when she thought about the favor she had asked the other person for these past two days, she felt that saying it would make her seem hypocritical, so she agreed.

"understood."

The young man nodded, released his hand, and then smiled, "So, does this mean we've... reconciled?"

Feng Siyue smiled, seemingly relaxed. "You were holding me back today for this very reason?"

Gongzi Qi nodded in agreement as if nothing had happened, "Three years is a good timeframe, especially now that we have the Longevity Wood, the chances of breaking the ice are even higher."

Gongzi Qi made no attempt to conceal his purpose.

No need.

He knew that once a mistake was made, it couldn't be resolved with just an apology or two; a long period of emotional venting, coupled with sincerity, was the key.

Feng Siyue didn't expect this person to be so blunt.

However, the thought that he had suffered three years of her cold treatment because of his father made her feel rather resentful, and she smiled.

"Congratulations, you've succeeded."

The definitive answer put a weight on Gongzi Qi's mind. Standing in the sunlight, the smile on his lips was even more dazzling than the sun itself.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, junior sister."

Feng Siyue stared at that smiling face, gradually losing herself in thought.

Sure enough, he's useless.

The young man glanced at the sky, then said goodbye, "Well, I'll be going now."

Feng Siyue nodded, "Goodbye."

There was no intention whatsoever to persuade them to stay.

Given his status, the fact that he would come all the way from Zhongzhou to stand before me was already the greatest show of sincerity.

The young man nodded and placed a white jade vine ring in her hand. "Inside are some pills and medicinal herbs preserved in the Xuanbing Box, as well as the current addresses of the thirty survivors."

"I think you'll find this useful."

Feng Siyue lowered her head, "These are too expensive..."

"Do not."

Gongzi Qi interrupted her, saying seriously, "Junior sister, nothing is more important than living. If you want to investigate, then go ahead and investigate. I will take care of all your worries."

Feng Siyue's eyelashes trembled, and she remained silent for a long time.

The young man didn't give her a chance to refuse.

"Take good care of yourself."

After saying that, he disappeared on the spot.

Feng Siyue held the ring and stood alone under the tree for a long time.

Should she believe it?

Feng Siyue didn't know.

Ultimately, her consciousness probed into the ring.

The ring has a large space, several hundred cubic meters, all of which are organized into a unified, independent space by the shelves.

Grade 7 Ink Poison Pill, Grade 6 Mind-Stabilizing Pill, a two-thousand-year-old Ephemeral Flower...

very many.

The two walls were filled with items of various sizes.

So many high-grade pills and medicinal herbs, all given to her?

Feng Siyue hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

An hour later, hundreds of miles away outside the city gates of Fengcheng, Feng Siyue and Gongzi Qi looked at each other in silence.

"You've come to Maple City too?"

"Aren't you going back to the palace gate?"

The two suddenly spoke, then fell silent again.

A few breaths later, Gongzi Qi broke the atmosphere, saying, "A good friend of mine in Fengcheng is getting married, and I've come to offer my congratulations."

Feng Siyue honestly replied, "This is the only way to reach the City of the Lost Sea..."

Gongzi Qi raised an eyebrow. "What a coincidence."

After thinking for a moment, the woman explained, "Indeed, I was also thinking of checking on the matter of the demon race that my senior brother mentioned earlier."

The young man chuckled slightly.

"I thought you had forgotten."
