art of her plan"I have to say, An Xue Tang is telling the truth!An Xue Tang didn't think too much about it. She just found some things arranged by the previous empress strange, like why she had to giv...Tear it up!

Just rip it all apart, you shouldn't expect these things that never belonged to you in the first place.

The voice of reason in her mind told her that this letter, all those so-called feelings between two people, should be torn apart.

She never deserved to be so greedy in her life.

Having received everything from both the village head and the princess, what face did she have to ask for anything else from Yunliu

When she opened her eyes again, Ning'er's gaze had become resolute. She hesitated almost no more, and her hand was about to tear everything apart with force.

Just then, Shou'er suddenly appeared. Her movements were even quicker than Ning'er's. Before Ning'er could react, she snatched the letter right out of his hand.

"!"

Ninger was startled. The composure she usually maintained vanished in that moment, replaced by panic.

But Shou'er seemed to not see it at all. She shook the letter in her hand, a hint of mockery in her eyes as she smiled and said:

"Ninger, someone actually wrote you a letter You're being so sneaky about it! Come clean, who wrote the letter I don't even know anyone sent you one!"

"...." Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Ning'er had now put away her superfluous expressions. She shook her head helplessly and extended her hand to Shou'er, "Don't make a fuss, give it to me. He's just an insignificant person."

"Hehehe, you think you can fool me again If you were just an insignificant nobody, this letter would never have reached your hands through the King of Beijang's."

"...Ning'er hesitated for a moment, realizing they had all seen it."

Shour didn't know what she wanted to do. She was also very clear that the few of them couldn't develop romantic feelings with any man, even if they did, there was nothing they could do about it. This was a promise they made to the valley master and an oath they swore before entering the valley.

But after all, she grew up with Ning'er. Although they weren't blood-related sisters, their bond was stronger than that of any so-called true sisters.

Having spent so many years together, she could naturally tell what Ning'er was thinking. Even if Ning'er usually hid it well, based on her understanding of Ning'er, she could see something was amiss.

Besides, even if Ninger is good at hiding her true emotions, Yunliu is very high-profile. When he was here, his gaze and actions towards Ninger were almost never concealed from anyone.

She was practically always with Ning'er, if she couldn't even understand Lian Yunliu's thoughts, how foolish would that make her

She could see both Yunliu's intentions and Ning'er's hesitation and turmoil.

For some reason, she always hoped Ning'er would be happier than she is now.

So even though she knew it wasn't right, she still hoped that Ning'er and Yunliu would end up together.

Thinking this way, she didn't want Ning'er to do anything that would make her own heart ache.

This letter, one could guess even with their toes, was from Yunliu to Ning'er. But just now, she saw the pain and determination in Ning'er's eyes.

Ning'er wanted to tear up the letter, wanting to sever all possibility between her and Yunliu.

Although she knew Ning'er was doing the wisest thing, she still didn't want to see Ning'er take this step, so she took the letter.

Shour looked her face straight. She took two steps forward, put the letter back into Ninger's hand and said quite seriously:

“I know what you're trying to do, but will this truly set you free King Bei Jiang and his wife will be happily ever after. Yun Liu is loyal to the king, and you can't leave the princess. In the future, you two will constantly be in each other’s presence. You both clearly have feelings for each other. Even if you tear up this letter today, do you truly believe you can completely cut him out of your life”

"...."

Ning'er clenched her hands tightly, the corner of the letter crumpled by her grip.

Her complex expression, Shou'er saw it all. Shou'er sighed helplessly and slowly explained:

"Ninger, there's no way around this. Love is something that even if you hide it well, it will always be there. Especially since Yunliu is different from you. His passion constantly surrounds you. How can you possibly refuse someone like that"

Even if you constantly put on a facade of indifference and coldness, deep down he has such warmth for you. He wouldn't care if those were just an act, even if you truly were an iceberg, he could melt you little by little.

"Speaking of this, Shou'er shook her head and placed her hand on his shoulder, giving it a gentle pat. "It's useless. You can control your own emotions, but you can't stop Yunliu's feelings for you. So by restraining yourself now, you'll only cause yourself pain and nothing else will change."

"..."

Ning'er's expression grew increasingly serious. She stared into Shou'er's earnest eyes, hesitated and struggled for a moment, but in the end, she could only helplessly ask, "Have you forgotten the vows we made"

It turned out to be the reason after all. Shouer understood. She glanced at the room where Fengming was, and softly said:

"At the time, I didn't know why the master wanted us to swear an oath. But since King Beijiang was willing to personally deliver a message to Yunliu, it means he also wants to see you two have a result. You know the princess's thoughts very well. The princess hopes more than anyone that you and Yunliu will be together."

"I know you're concerned about the Valley Master, but who can be sure they truly don't want to Things haven't reached their final moment, there's still room to turn things around."

The determination that had finally formed in Ning'er's eyes suddenly cracked after Shou'er said those words.

Shouer had been watching her all along, knowing she was hesitating. She let out a slight sigh of relief and gently patted her shoulder:

"Think this over carefully, there's no need to rush yourself into a dead end. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten out. Perhaps some things will be easier to solve once the Valley Master wakes up."

Ning'er smiled wryly. If it were really that easy to solve, she wouldn't have to constantly suppress herself, control herself, and be afraid of making one wrong step that would lead to irreparable consequences.

Shou'er nudged her, "The prince is back. I can guard here alone tonight. You should go back to rest."

After Shou'er finished speaking, An Xuetang in the room suddenly opened the door. She looked at Ning'er thoughtfully and then smiled:

"Ninger and Shou'er, you don't need to guard tonight. Go back and rest."

Mo Yun Jing was back, so they could finally get a good night's sleep.

Ning'er and Shou'er glanced at each other, then nodded to her. "Yes."

Just then, the kitchen staff brought over a steaming bowl of noodles. Shou'er took it and handed it to An Xuetang.

Then they went back to their resting place.

An Xuetang's lips were still slightly red. She placed her face on the table, "It's late, Ajing, just make do with it tonight and have something simple."

"Um."

Mo Yunjing let her sit down. He didn't eat it himself, but instead shared this large bowl of noodles with the two of them, one mouthful at a time.

After finishing their meal, as soon as the two lay back on the bed, An Xuetang couldn't wait to turn around and hug him, starting to ask about the situation in Youlan City.nt returned. No one else came back.”"!"Mò Yún Chén furrowed his brows. "What do you mean The only one who returned is Mò Jūn Yì"Those he sent were all his trusted guards. Their martial arts weren't th...
