Let's separate

Xiao Feng glanced at Su Xueqing behind him and walked straight toward a pavilion in the courtyard.

Su Xueqing understood the meaning behind Xiao Feng's look; she pursed her thin lips and followed behind Xiao Feng to the pavilion.

Upon arriving at the pavilion, Xiao Feng stood there, gazing at the scenery within Wu Hai's courtyard.

He did not know how to face Su Xueqing, so he kept his back to her, remaining silent throughout.

In the awkward atmosphere, it was ultimately Su Xueqing who spoke up first to apologize: "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have impulsively targeted Miss Zhao like that before. I don't know what came over me; perhaps I was momentarily blinded by jealousy. Xiao Feng, I won't be like that again."

Su Xueqing took a step forward, reached out, and gently tugged on Xiao Feng's sleeve.

Xiao Feng's gaze slowly turned back and landed on Su Xueqing's face.

Seeing Su Xueqing's tear-filled eyes and her pleading expression, Xiao Feng suddenly spoke: "You won't change."

Su Xueqing, who had been about to shed tears, suddenly caught her breath.

Immediately after, as she wanted to say something more, Xiao Feng gently raised his hand, pulled his sleeve from her grasp, and then said: "If you would take action once, you will take action a second time. How can you expect me to trust you again?"

Su Xueqing opened her mouth, wanting to tell Xiao Feng that she would make a promise to him.

She had already said as much; she would certainly never dare to harm Zhao Yuwei again in the future.

She did not want Xiao Feng to leave her all alone again.

She liked Xiao Feng; why couldn't he give her a chance? She would definitely make it up to Zhao Yuwei properly.

But before these words could leave her mouth, they were all stuck in her throat by Xiao Feng's next action, for he had taken out a spatial ring.

Su Xueqing certainly wouldn't be naive enough to think that after they had such a conflict and Xiao Feng had spoken those words, the spatial ring he produced was a gift for her.

"What does this mean?" Su Xueqing's voice was somewhat hoarse.

"You must have heard just now; we went to the Monster Realm earlier and were fortunate enough to enter the Demon Emperor Secret Realm. These are some treasures I obtained in the Demon Emperor Secret Realm. I am now giving them to you as compensation. Let us… separate."

Although the last four words were spoken softly by Xiao Feng, they were exceptionally firm, for he knew that Su Xueqing would definitely be able to hear what he said.

Sure enough, Su Xueqing had not intended to accept the spatial ring in the first place, and now, after hearing Xiao Feng's words, she looked at him in disbelief, her eyes quickly turning red.

"Are you really going to be this heartless to me?" Su Xueqing couldn't help but accuse Xiao Feng.

"This is my compensation to you. You should know better than I do how our relationship came to be. The things inside can help you increase your strength and assist you in recovering from your injuries as quickly as possible. I have already been far from heartless."

Xiao Feng's voice was cold.

Su Xueqing wanted to say more, but upon meeting Xiao Feng's icy gaze, she knew that he had already made up his mind.

Su Xueqing felt immense regret in her heart.

But what exactly was Su Xueqing regretting at this moment? Perhaps only she herself knew.

Was she regretting that she had taken action against Zhao Yuwei for those unclear and indescribable reasons?

Or was she regretting that she hadn't killed Zhao Yuwei earlier while Xiao Feng still trusted her, so as to occupy a more important place in Xiao Feng's heart?

Xiao Feng no longer wanted to continue questioning Su Xueqing about these rights and wrongs.

After all, the person Su Xueqing had wanted to kill was Zhao Yuwei; even if she truly wanted to apologize, she shouldn't come to him, but rather go to apologize to Zhao Yuwei.

It was a pity that Su Xueqing was also a proud daughter of heaven.

She apologized to him because she had feelings for him, but if she were asked to apologize to Zhao Yuwei, she would likely never accept it, no matter what.

Even if she could apologize now, once she recalled today's humiliation in the future, she would only spare no effort to strike at Zhao Yuwei even harder.

Xiao Feng would absolutely not leave such a hidden danger around himself and Zhao Yuwei; therefore, he wanted to end things with Su Xueqing with benevolence and righteousness.

Furthermore, the marital relationship Su Xueqing previously had with him was originally just so he could help her Cultivate the Demon Cult's Cultivation Technique.

To her, he was not a true husband either.

However, after so much time had passed, if he were to say he had no feelings at all for Su Xueqing, then Xiao Feng would be truly despicable.

Therefore, Xiao Feng gave compensation and also hoped that Su Xueqing would let him go.

"I don't want it. I suddenly remembered that I need to take my medicine. Since you're back, I'll leave the Poison Emperor in your care. I'm going back to my own courtyard to rest."

Su Xueqing did not want to face Xiao Feng, nor did she want to face this matter. After making up a random excuse, she hurriedly fled before Xiao Feng could say anything else.

Xiao Feng did not chase after her. He looked at the ring in his hand and then stored it back into his System space.

He knew that Su Xueqing had developed genuine feelings for him, and she needed some time to accept this matter.

It didn't matter; he would stay here at the Ming Cult.

He would wait until Wu Hai's injuries and the situation within the Ming Cult had completely stabilized before leaving.

As long as this matter could be resolved before he left, that would be enough.

He would give Su Xueqing enough time to buffer and allow her to accept this matter.

Xiao Feng sent a voice transmission to Zhao Yuwei, telling her that if she wanted to rest, she should go to the residence he previously stayed at here at Wu Hai's place.

Xiao Feng, meanwhile, kept watch outside Wu Hai's room.

By the time Xiao Feng and the others returned, it was already near sunset, and this watch of Xiao Feng's lasted until the next day when the sky was fully bright.

Xiao Feng had been Cultivating in the pavilion the entire time.

It wasn't until the next day, when he heard the sound of the room door opening, that Xiao Feng slowly opened his eyes and walked slowly from the pavilion to the front of the room door.

Wu Hai, whose appearance had taken on a new look, felt very gratified and happy to see Xiao Feng, who had not left the courtyard at all.

He had long ago sensed that Xiao Feng had kept watch in the pavilion outside for the entire night.

At that time, Wu Hai had sighed in his heart that at his age and cultivation level, there were not many people who could receive his sincere treatment.

Yet, with Xiao Feng treating him with such sincerity, how could he not be moved at all?

Seeing Wu Hai come out of the room, Xiao Feng smiled and took out the spirit fruit he had obtained in the Secret Realm, stuffing it directly into Wu Hai's hands.

"Adoptive father, quickly try this. This is a type of fruit I obtained in the Secret Realm earlier; it has a good texture and is very rich in spiritual energy. It's a pity that the fruit tree can only survive in the Secret Realm, so I could only pick all of its ripe fruits."

While Xiao Feng looked on with anticipation, hoping that Wu Hai would taste the fruit, he had already taken one himself and began to eat it with a crunching sound.

Seeing Xiao Feng eating so happily, Wu Hai also subconsciously took a bite.
