At this moment, the wind in the mountains carried traces of cold, like sharp blades, blowing wildly, lifting his hair as if mercilessly tugging at his heart, now riddled with wounds.

The mountain path was rugged, full of dead branches and fallen leaves. As he stepped on them, a dull sound echoed, as if it were a low moan echoing his inner pain.

After a few steps, Shi Feiyang couldn't help but turn around regretfully, looking at Yili. At this moment, the sky was covered with dense clouds, the heavy layers pressing like lead above his head, casting the whole world into a suffocating atmosphere.

His voice carried a trace of choked emotion, nearly pleading, "How have I, in truth, conducted myself? Heaven bears witness!"

His eyes were full of helplessness and pain, as if he were telling the world of his grievances, but only Yili's icy gaze and the cold indifference and doubts of the Hengshan Sect people responded.

The surrounding trees trembled in the cold wind, making rustling sounds, as if they too were lamenting his plight, and an air of grievance and discontent seemed to pervade the entire world.

Liu Tingting watched Shi Feiyang's departing figure, a cold smile slowly forming at the corners of her mouth, like that of a devil from Hell, she murmured to herself, "Shi Feiyang, you won't escape from the palm of my hand, just wait and see."

At this time, the setting sun gradually tilted to the west. The blood-red afterglow struggled to pierce through the cracks in the clouds, stretching her shadow long, making her appear particularly sinister under the dim yellow light.

The afterglow spilled over the earth, as if draping a cruel cloak over this conflict, casting everything in a strange hue.

In the distance, the mountain ridges were vividly silhouetted against the afterglow, stern and solemn, the rugged rocks on the mountain ridges resembled monstrous creatures baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, quietly witnessing the absurd unfolding of this love-hate drama.

The brook at the foot of the mountain, originally clear to the bottom, was now stained dark red.

The gurgling stream seemed to be telling endless grievances.

However, Shi Feiyang, leading the heroes, did not truly leave Heng Mountain, but rather ordered the team to camp at the foot of the mountain.

Around the campsite, wild grass grew in abundance, shaking wantonly in the chilly wind, as if foretelling the impending unease.

Liu Tingting, full of doubts, released the arm entwined with Shi Feiyang, her face showing phony concern, and asked, "Shi Lang, why not leave Heng Mountain? Do you still hold fantasies about Yili?"

Shi Feiyang looked at Liu Tingting's face, which was remarkably similar to that of the Sunflower Saintess, with a mixed array of emotions in his heart.

Those past times spent with the Sunflower Saintess rushed into his mind.

At that time, he had just crossed over to this old society, life hanging by a thread, when the Sunflower Saintess appeared in time, like a ray of light, saving his life.

Afterwards, the Sunflower Saintess unreservedly granted him superior bloodline and taught him superior martial arts heart methods. In his bewilderment, she guided him like a beacon, illuminating his difficult journey in the Jianghu, becoming the Divine Maiden, supreme in his heart.

The Liu Tingting before him, every gesture, every nod, resembled the Sunflower Saintess in his heart.

This made it impossible for Shi Feiyang to be too harshly resolute towards her.

Thinking of this, Shi Feiyang suppressed the depression in his heart and said with a complex expression, "Thanks to you, all fantasies are long gone. After several battles, I'm exhausted and want to rest for a few days. Heng Mountain's scenery is beautiful, let's let the brothers relax."

With that, he turned and walked into the tent set up first by the Heroic Sakura Association disciples, his back full of fatigue and helplessness.

Outside the tent, the whistling wind made the tent fabric rattle, adding a sense of loneliness and desolation. He was well aware of Liu Tingting's scheming, but each time he faced her face, the past kindness and affection would make him choose to tolerate.

Liu Tingting smiled smugly and followed him in.

Gong Simeng and Lin Wanqing, the two beauties, followed in as well.

As soon as they entered the tent, they saw Liu Tingting's intimate gesture towards Shi Feiyang, instantly filling both with jealousy.

The atmosphere in the tent dropped to freezing point, Gong Simeng's eyes immediately reddened, her normally gentle eyes now full of anger and grievance, like burning flames.

She bit her lower lip tightly, her lip turning slightly pale from the pressure, and her nails sunk deeply into her palms, leaving crescent-shaped marks, venting her anger in this way.

Lin Wanqing's face turned extremely displeased, her originally rosy face now as white as paper, her hands unconsciously clenching, trembling lightly, as if desperately suppressing the fire inside her, her body trembling slightly, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

Seeing Shi Feiyang's indifference toward Liu Tingting, their hearts settled a bit, and they both sighed in relief.

But before emotions could stabilize, Liu Tingting lay down directly beside Shi Feiyang, which infuriated Gong Simeng and Lin Wanqing.

Gong Simeng could no longer bear it and shouted angrily, "Liu Tingting, have you no shame!" Her voice sharp and piercing, echoed in the tent.

Lin Wanqing was also trembling with rage, pointing at Liu Tingting, but unable to speak for a moment due to excessive anger.

The atmosphere in the tent was tense, as if a fierce conflict would erupt any second.

Gong Simeng could no longer suppress the stormy anger in her heart and rebuked loudly, her voice so sharp it seemed to pierce through the air, "Liu Tingting, you shameless witch, do you have any sense of shame? Get out now! Hmph! Don't think we don't know your evil intentions, you're just coveting our White Tiger and Vermilion Bird!"
