Moonlight flowed like water, and a faint warmth filled the tranquil night.
The air was fresh, bringing a sense of peace and beauty.
Shui Bing'er nestled against Feng Xiaotian's shoulder.
"Brother Tian, I never expected so much to happen during this time. It's wonderful that I can return to Godwind Academy with you."
Feng Xiaotian affectionately stroked Shui Bing'er's silky hair and said softly,
"I don't want you worrying all day either. Once we're back, you all should stay at the academy. I still need to go to Heaven Dou City to handle some matters."
"Are you going to see the Crown Prince?"
"Yes. Something major is about to happen at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. I don't want to drag you into it. You'll be safer at Godwind Academy."
"Brother Tian, I'm really afraid something will happen to you."
"Don't worry. Grandfather will be with me, so nothing will happen. Besides, with my current strength, no Soul Master below the Titled Douluo level can hurt me."
"Mm."
Shui Bing'er thought of Hu Liena.
The last time they had met had been during the Soul Master Tournament.
Back then, Hu Liena had seemed lofty and arrogant, as though no one else mattered.
Shui Bing'er never would have imagined that Hu Liena would help Feng Xiaotian time and again.
"Brother Tian, why would that girl from Spirit Hall help you for no reason?"
"If it hadn't been for me, she might not have made it out of Hell Road in the City of Slaughter. Actually, she isn't as bad as you all think."
"Oh, I guess she likes you too, doesn't she?"
Feng Xiaotian smiled faintly.
"What? Are you jealous?"
"No..."
"Alright, enough about her. It's getting late. We should rest too."
"We?"
Shui Bing'er's little face turned crimson.
