Chapter 497: Chapter 496 She’s Stupid, She’s Really Stupid!

Feng Yexuan had returned.

"Where is Ziyue?" Chu Qianli asked, somewhat uneasy.

Had he just abandoned Long Ziyue like that? Not escorting her back to the camp?

"She’s with Fu Long, she’s safe."

Feng Yexuan was leaning on the table nearby, staring at her face.

For some reason, he suddenly cursed, "Stupid woman."

Chu Qianli was taken aback, and then, her forehead creased with frustration.

"Hero, what’s the reason for cursing out of the blue?"

"Aren’t you one?" Feng Yexuan raised an eyebrow.

With a face full of grievances, Chu Qianli said, "Hero, I don’t want to argue."

After a moment of thought, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Loyal Brother, did you know my identity all along? Then... the token of my mother... did you give it to me on purpose?"

That night, she just noticed the token hanging on his waist and asked him for it.

At the time, Feng Yexuan seemed indifferent. She had her doubts then, but the excitement of obtaining the token overwhelmed her, so she didn’t bother to think too much about it.

Even though Long Xiyue was not from Beiming Country, she was still a famous figure across the Cangqiong Continent.

How could Feng Yexuan just casually give Long Xiyue’s token to her?

Without even asking why?

Turned out, he had planned to return it to its rightful owner.

"You’re just realizing now," Feng Yexuan huffed coldly, his gaze still holding a hint of contempt.

"Are you still angry, Loyal Brother?" Before this, when she went to meet General Wei Xian, and upon her return, he said that she was cautious of him.

It wasn’t really caution, just... sudden doubts, and she hadn’t thought about how to deal with them yet.

After all, her identity could not be revealed at that time.

But it seemed like he knew everything!

She was just a mortal, and it was natural to be shocked by an "Immortal" who seemed to have everything under control.

"I’m not being cautious of you, it’s just that I was too astonished." Of course, whether he would believe her saying it like that, she did not know.

But now, with a formidable enemy ahead, there was no good in playing a game of suspicion among ourselves, right?

"Loyal Brother, can you forgive me? Can we not be angry with each other?"

"But you’re still stupid." Feng Yexuan’s attitude was truly exasperating.

Chu Qianli felt both wronged and helpless, "Fine, fine, I’m stupid, you’re the smartest person in the whole world, is that okay?"

In the end, she couldn’t help but mutter, "If I’m so stupid, why did you come back to protect me?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than not only did Feng Yexuan’s eyes change slightly, but even Chu Qianli herself suddenly felt her heart rate accelerating.

She knew he had come back to protect her.

But Wuya was also here.

Why couldn’t she think that he had returned for Wuya?

On what grounds did she feel it was for her?

But in her heart, that’s exactly what she had thought just a moment ago, that he came back for her.

Without any thought, without any judgment, she believed it so.

But what was she basing this on?

All of a sudden, Chu Qianli felt uncomfortable, she glanced at him stealthily only to find Feng Yexuan’s eyes were fixed on her.

Thump, thump!

Her heartbeat accelerated once again.

Vaguely, it seemed to start hurting a little.

She wanted to speak, to break the awkward silence, but when she opened her mouth, not a single word came out.

She didn’t know what to say.

Her mind was in turmoil.

Suddenly, she remembered something and looked up at Feng Yexuan, "Loyal Brother..."

Feng Yexuan just watched her, his expression a complex mixture of emotions.

There seemed to be a hint of embarrassment as if his thoughts were exposed, yet he looked as arrogant and self-assured as ever, reluctant to reveal too much emotion in front of her.

"Loyal Brother..."

Chu Qianli’s fingertips were taut, and so was the tip of her heart.

She remembered!

I remembered, there was something important!

Finally, her thoughts rested on the Universe Chain, and she took out the box that she had put away.

When Feng Yexuan saw the wooden box in her hand, his eyes darkened in an instant.

This silly woman, she’s only remembering now!

Chu Qianli’s fingertips were trembling slightly, as this was the first time she was going to open the box since he had given it to her.

As the wooden lid was opened, Chu Qianli’s breath also tensed to the extreme in an instant!

In the end, she placed the wooden box on the table and quickly took out the contents.

At a glance, her entire body stiffened completely!

The Jade Seal!

The Jade Seal of Longteng Country!

She was foolish! Truly foolish!

No wonder Feng Yexuan called her a silly woman!

He had given her the Jade Seal a long time ago, but she had been blindly unaware of it.

She had never even glanced at the gifts he sent her.

Not only was she foolish, but she was excessive too!

Feng Yexuan turned his face away, not wanting to reveal too much of his feelings at this moment.

But in truth, when he saw her take out the Jade Seal, his heart felt somewhat wronged.

If only she had cared about him a little more, she would have discovered this Jade Seal much sooner.

It was after a long time that Chu Qianli put the Jade Seal back and looked at him.

He was still wearing a mask. The face beneath it couldn’t be clearly seen now, but in her eyes, it seemed to become clearer and clearer.

"Yexuan..."

Chu Qianli didn’t know why she suddenly called out like this.

Feng Yexuan’s fingertips tensed, and his tall body stiffened in an instant.

This damned woman, calling his name at this moment, what was she trying to do?

There was always a feeling, like she was about to trick him again.

In fact, Feng Yexuan was well aware that his heart was always too soft for her.

No matter what she wanted him to do, just a soft call from her would completely dissipate his determination.

"Don’t think that just because you call my name, you can negate your foolishness!"

Feng Yexuan turned around, his back facing her directly.

In reality, his heart was still tightly wound.

She had been caught by the Soul Captivating Technique, and now, he didn’t know what she thought of him in her heart, or of their relationship.

He was afraid that if his expectations were too high, he would be disappointed.

Or even despair.

At this moment, her heart only had Wuya.

Chu Qianli also didn’t know why she called for him, it just suddenly felt very painful in her heart.

She walked behind him, then suddenly moved in front of him, reaching out to take off his mask.

"What are you doing?" Feng Yexuan looked down at her, but didn’t stop her actions.

"I don’t know..."

But she just wanted, to really look at his face.

This face, so clear in her sight.

Some images, it seemed, also began to clarify in her mind.

His good, his bad.

His possessiveness, his tyranny, his madness.

Her liking for him, her resentment towards him, her dependence on him, her resistance to him...

Chu Qianli’s brows gradually knitted together.

Her hand rested on her heart, but then slowly moved down to her lower abdomen.

Here... Was there once a life here?

A vivid life... but she, had not protected him well...

"Lili!" Feng Yexuan quickly noticed something was wrong with her and grasped her shoulders: "What have you remembered?"
