Chapter 49 Cai'er, why do you always come on top with such a calm expression?
Lin Feng felt Cai'er's small hand being held tightly.
He reached out and pinched Cai'er's frowning face.
"With our relationship, is there anything we can't say?"
Although the two never explicitly defined their relationship, it was obvious to everyone that they both had feelings for each other.
Just as Lin Feng was pinching Cai'er's cheek, Wang Yuanyuan and the others, who were originally cultivating, all opened their eyes without saying a word.
After exchanging glances, the group of people pricked up their ears to listen to Lin Feng and Cai'er's conversation.
Lin Xin even asked with a hint of gossip, "What do you think is the relationship between the regimental commander and the deputy commander? I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the deputy commander is cold to everyone, but our regimental commander is always the first to stand up for her no matter what she does."
As soon as Lin Xin said this, everyone looked at her as if she were an idiot.
Even Chen Ying'er, the only one still cultivating, couldn't help but speak up: "Brother Yao, you're such an idiot. Have you forgotten what the deputy team leader said when we competed against Team Leader Gao?"
Upon hearing Chen Ying'er's words, Lin Xin thought for a moment and suddenly remembered the only thing Cai'er had said during the competition.
He repeated involuntarily, "I've worked hard for this moment for four years, so no matter the past, present, or future..."
"Or will I always be the person I can rely on the most in the future —"
"With me here, no one can hurt you!"
After saying this, Lin Xin asked with a puzzled look, "What's the problem with this? Isn't this just the deputy commander's statement?"
"Idiot, this is obviously the vice commander expressing his inner thoughts while making his statement. It would be no problem to call it a confession."
Upon hearing Chen Ying'er's words, Lin Xin suddenly realized and exclaimed, "I see!"
"Doesn't that mean our deputy commander has had a crush on the commander for four years?!"
Lin Xin himself didn't realize that, because he was so surprised, his voice had involuntarily become a few decibels louder.
Cai'er's face quickly turned red as Lin Feng pinched her cheeks.
Just as Lin Xin was about to say something, he felt a chill on his neck, as if a sharp dagger was pressed against it.
Lin Xin turned around and saw Cai Ji turning to look at him.
After just one glance, Lin Xin instinctively sat up straight and closed his eyes.
Fearing that Cai'er might misunderstand, he even took out a pair of earplugs and an eye mask and put them on.
When Gao Yingjie saw Cai'er looking at him, he quickly set up a barrier to block out sight and sound, enveloping himself and Long Haochen and the others.
Gao Yingjie's fear of Cai'er was no less than his fear of her. After all, Cai'er possessed two divine weapons. If Cai'er hadn't deliberately held back in the battle, he would probably be lying in the priest's temple receiving treatment right now.
That eerie speed, and that bone-chilling killing intent—Gao Yingjie never wanted to face either of them again.
Gao Yingjie sighed deeply, thinking helplessly, "What's going on here? Other members of the Demon Hunter team are all very careful around their leader, but why am I the one being so cautious, afraid of offending anyone?!"
Without outside interference, Cai'er did not refute what Lin Xin had just said, but looked at Lin Feng with some guilt.
"Lin Feng, actually there's something I lied to you about—" As she spoke, Cai'er gripped Lin Feng's hand tighter as if afraid he would get angry.
But the next moment, Cai'er felt a suffocating sensation spread throughout her body, because she realized that Lin Feng had let go of her hand.
He's angry.
Will he leave me?
Should I not have said that?
Countless thoughts surged through Cai'er's mind in an instant. At that moment, Cai'er felt as if she had returned to that chilling hell—
A terrifying killing intent surged uncontrollably from her body, seemingly wanting to possess it.
But just as Cai'er was overwhelmed with self-blame...
Lin Feng's ruthless iron hands actually pinched her face, which was covered with a layer of murderous frost.
Under Cai Ji's puzzled gaze, Lin Feng's slightly reproachful voice rang in her ear.
"Fine, Cai'er, you dared to lie to me! As punishment, from now on, you'll be responsible for all the clothes I need to change!"
The previously out-of-control killing intent vanished completely the moment Lin Feng's voice rang out.
Cai'er asked in a surprised tone, "Is that all? You're not leaving me?"
"Why did I leave you? What have you been thinking about all day?" Lin Feng scolded Cai'er like a younger sister, slapping her on the head with a chop and saying, "Cai'er, everyone has their own reasons. Sometimes lying isn't necessarily to deceive others; it can also be a white lie."
Lin Feng reached out and flicked Cai'er's forehead with a light laugh.
Faced with Lin Feng's punishment, Cai'er covered her forehead where Lin Feng had flicked her, momentarily lost in thought.
"So, even lies can have a benevolent purpose—"
"Of course, for example, if I'm going to do something very dangerous, you would definitely come with me if you knew, so I might tell you it's a very ordinary thing, so you won't care so much, and I can leave on my own —"
Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, Cai'er grabbed his hands and said seriously, "No, no matter what danger we encounter in the future, I will stay by your side!"
Looking at Cai Ji, who was somewhat agitated, Lin Feng was momentarily lost in thought. This seemed to be the first time in his life that someone had cared so much about a metaphor he had used.
Realizing he had lost his composure, Lin Feng coughed twice and changed the subject, saying, "I know, I'll tell you about any danger from now on. You still haven't told me what you lied to me about."
Upon hearing Lin Feng's answer, Cai'er slowly said, "Actually, my parents didn't die. They're both in the Exorcism Pass—"
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "That's it?"
"Yes, this is it—" Cai'er said nervously.
Looking at Cai'er's nervous face, Lin Feng felt like crying. What did he do to deserve being someone Cai'er cared about so much?
Lin Feng chuckled and said, "I thought it was something serious. I've known for a long time that your parents are still alive. Didn't you tell me that before?"
what?
Cai'er tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Really?"
"Yes, back when your great-grandfather found the priest's temple."
Cai'er blushed slightly, wondering if she had really said that.
Seeing Cai'er's dazed expression, Lin Feng felt even more in love with her.
Looking at Cai'er's adorable appearance, Lin Feng chuckled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, besides that, you're also afraid of running into your parents, right?"
Cai'er nodded and said, "A little, but it's not too bad. Right now, I only care about what you think of me."
Upon hearing Cai'er's words, Lin Feng felt his heart race. He couldn't take it anymore. Why could Cai'er always speak so calmly, her words filled with love and seemingly a confession?
Sometimes, Lin Feng really had the urge to confront the truth.
