, Shou'er and Kang'er each led a group, while Xún Hng and Xún Bù led a group. An Xuetang and Feng Ming led a group together.Since entering this forest, the green snake on An Xuetang's wrist had gone i...Ning'er pursed her lips; she didn't want to hear Yunliu talk about these things right now.

She was going to draw a line with him today. She didn't know if she could keep saying those harsh words if she continued to listen to him.

Thinking this way, she gritted her teeth and held back the tears in her eyes, “Yunliu, please listen to me…”

Yunliu wasn't willing to let her speak first. He shook his head and interrupted her, "Ning'er, listen to me finish first."

He clutched Ning'er's hand tightly, his eyes pleading slightly. It was clear he was starting to panic. "Ning'er, you don't know how much you affect me. Your joys and sorrows always easily influence me."

"To be shameless, every time I see the Duke and Duchess so in love, I can't help but think, if I, Yunliu, opened my eyes every day and the first person I saw was Ning'er, you, I would even smile awake from my dreams."

"Originally, I was also thinking of taking it slow, waiting for Ning'er to figure things out on her own and the day she's willing to walk towards me without any psychological burden."

"But now you're taking step after step back, drifting further and further away from me. Ninger, you don't know how much this hurts, how maddening it is."

"Don't wait any longer, Ning'er, please don't make me wait anymore. Let's get married, okay I... I will go to the prince today and ask him to be your witness with his wife!"

Having said that, he suddenly stood up, as if he was really going to confront the King and Queen of Beijang.

Such he made Ning'er's heart a tumult of emotions.

Of course she knew why Yunliu was so eager; he had simply felt her coldness and her resolute refusal.

Today, she was indeed well-prepared and determined to stop the two from going any further.

Yunliu must have sensed what she was going to do and say next, so she couldn't wait to interrupt her.

She never denied her feelings for Yunliu, but a chasm stood between them, one that seemed impossible to bridge.

Continuing to pester each other is pointless.

Thinking of this, Ninger pursed her lips. Before Yunliu turned to leave, she reached out and grabbed his wrist with force, stopping him in his tracks.

Yunliu's heart tightened. She turned her head, her eyes, tinged with a pleading sadness, met his. It seemed as if he wanted her to stop talking, not to push him away.

But Ning'er was unable to fulfill his wish after all.

Although it pained me, I had to say firmly, "Even if the Prince and Princess agreed, there would be no future for you."

"Yunliu, give up. I don't want to have anything more to do with you. That's it between us."

"Today, I'll pretend that nothing you did to me happened. From now on, I only wish to serve by the Princess's side and our two young masters. All other matters are beyond my consideration, including you."

After saying this, Ninger slowly stood up. Her eyes were extremely firm, "To be able to bring you joy in my lifetime is my fortune, but it's a fortune I cannot accept, nor dare to accept, nor can I accept."

“Today, I’m willing to talk to you amicably here. I want to end things between us, but… after we leave this room, there will be no more connection between you and me.”

"I also hope that after today, you will stop doing these meaningless things and don't have any hope for me. If you can't..."

Speaking of which, Ning'er's eyes sharpened. "If you can't do it, I think I don't need to stay in this palace anymore. Anyway, there are plenty of ways to serve the Princess and the two young masters."

“If I cannot remain at the Bei Jiang Wangfu and by the Crown Princess's side, I will proactively request to return to Xumtang Valley to undertake other tasks.”

"If you don't want me to leave the Beijiang Royal Manor, then please stop bringing up these pointless matters."

“It's a plea from me to you. If you desire a wife and children, consider looking at the beautiful women amongst us. This is all I have to say today. I hope you will fulfill my heart’s desire.”

After saying this, Ning'er's eyes had turned crimson.

She held back her tears with all her might, refusing to let them fall in front of Yun Liu.

Although she knew these words would inflict immense pain on Yunliu and leave her own heart aching, she had to say them.

Indeed, Ning'er still knows Yunliu well enough.

After she said that, Yunliu indeed didn't dare to act rashly anymore.

He stared at Ning'er with wide, incredulous eyes, his whole body rigid. He watched helplessly as Ning'er resolutely turned and walked away.

His hand went up, wanting to call her back, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.

For he knew that Ning'er always kept her word.

Once he persists in his harassment, Ninger will truly be able to leave the Beijang Prince's Manor.

At this moment, Yunliu felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He could clearly feel that Ning'er also had feelings for him.

Her words were so heartless, leaving him at a loss.

After leaving Yunliu's house, Ning'er did not return directly to Jingtang Garden.

She walked alone to the lake by the palace. When she was sure no one was around, two lines of tears silently rolled down her cheeks.

She stared at the placid lake surface, lost in thought.

After how long she didn't know, when her eyes returned to normal, she turned and walked towards Jingtangyuan.

......

Ninger thought that everything she and Yunliu had said in the room wouldn't be known by anyone, and after today, Yunliu would be unable to bother her again.

In her heart, she believed it would all eventually pass.

Her life would remain utterly peaceful, with no further unforeseen events.

Little did she know, as she was talking with Yunliu, two men stood outside the window of that room, none other than Fengming and Hanyun.

To make room for Princess Xiaoqin, Han Yun pulled Feng Ming out of Jingtang Garden. The two strolled aimlessly around the mansion.

I don't know if it was fate, but when Han Yun led Feng Ming to the courtyard where Yun Liu was recovering, he suddenly remembered that Yun Liu had escaped from Youlan City. The journey was fraught with danger, but Yun Liu and his companions had returned safely.

Han Yun was thinking of chatting with Yunliu about the situation in Youlan City.

As the two approached the house where Yun Liu resided, before he could even knock, he heard Yun Liu confess his feelings to Ning'er.

He was immediately stunned, his hands frozen in mid-air as he looked at Feng Ming in disbelief.

He was also happy about the budding romance between Yunliu and Ning'er.

After all, in his view, lovers eventually end up together, which is a beautiful thing.

When he saw Feng Ming's gloomy face, the smile on his face instantly vanished.

Especially seeing the fleeting murderous intent on Feng Ming's face, his brow furrowed even further, and he felt both confused and worried.

And after Yunliu finished speaking, he also saw the killing intent in Fengming's eyes gradually intensifying. He even wanted to break into the room, luckily he stopped him in time.ose mountains.The people of Chi and Bai Feng had long planned that Bai Feng would lead away Mo Yunjing and others, while on the other side, the Great General Protector of Chi would lead his troops to...
