108、Its hard for two people to be together when they are apart and looking at each other with longing.

  ?

  After dinner, Marquis Ling invited Aphrodite to take a walk on the beach. Aphrodite saw Feng Junzi and Xiao Yunyi go to the garden, Luo Shuihan took Luo Xi back to the villa, and Xiaobai was pulled by Gu Ying to talk at a distant reef. The only ones left on the beach were her and Marquis Ling. She thought for a moment and accompanied Marquis Ling to walk around nearby, but remained silent all the time. Marquis Ling seemed to enjoy this feeling of walking side by side with her.

  Mr. and Mrs. Feng took a stroll in the garden and returned to the beach, bidding farewell and saying they were going to take another walk in the nearby coastal park. As soon as Mr. Feng left, Duke Lington looked at Aphrodite and said, "They're going to the park, this might be an opportunity."

  Aphrodite's body shook slightly: "What opportunity?"

  Marquis Lington: "Eliminate his chances, and for every day he stays in this world, the shame of your Viena family will increase."

  Aphrodite: "But he's with his wife, how can you do this?"

  Marquis Lington: "The confrontation that must be faced will eventually have to be faced. If there is an opportunity, don't miss it. Miss Weina won't go, I'll go instead. Even if all of this is for you, if you're not willing to take action, I'll take action."

  Aphrodite: "I'll take care of my own affairs."

  Marquis Lington: "But I also want to kill him! ... Don't forget the Vatican's resolution, His Holiness didn't say you have to kill Feng Junzi with your own hands, but as long as he is still in this world, you can't restore your honor. So whoever kills him is the same!" He was so anxious to take action because he found that Aphrodite looked at Feng Junzi today with a strange gaze, with a hint of painful hesitation. This look made Marquis Lington very uneasy, and he felt that he had to eliminate Feng Junzi as soon as possible to be at ease.

  Aphrodite turned her face to look at Lington, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Are you going now? Then I'll go with you. Don't be reckless, let's observe the situation first, he's not that easy to eliminate."

  Marquis Lington: "You don't have to be afraid of him to defeat fear, I've also read that report about him, he sealed himself and has forgotten how to use his power. We just need to quietly send him down to hell. Let's go, with me by your side, all difficulties can be conquered!"

  Feng Junzi and Xiao Yunyi left Luo Garden without taking the special car sent by the Luo family, but instead walked into Binhai Park. As they entered the park gate, Feng Junzi turned back to look at Xiao Yunyi and said: "There are many fun places inside Luo Garden, how did you agree to come out with me to stroll in the park?"

  Xiao Yunyi: "That person has ill intentions, and it's clear that Duke Lingdun is not well-disposed towards you."

  Feng Junzi frowned: "Yes, you also saw that something was wrong. As soon as he met me, he called me Mr. Feng and I was taken aback. This person must have specifically looked up my information and photos. I still have some self-awareness, I'm not so famous that I would attract his attention, there's definitely a problem here."

  Xiao Yunyi: "Could you have possibly offended him?"

  Feng Junzi: "Tonight's dinner, I've already offended him at the wine table, but just because he would tell stories at the wine table that would be unfavorable to me, which is obviously impossible and doesn't match the identity and habits of this kind of person. He is a dignified royal noble, it's really not necessary for him to deal with someone as insignificant as me."

  Xiao Yunyi laughed: "Really? When did you become so humble? When you and he sat together, I couldn't see him showing any superior nobility in front of you."

  "Of course, doesn't he know who my husband is?"

  Feng Junzi and Xiao Yunyi strolled in the Coastal Park, while Gu Ying and Xiao Bai strolled on the Rocky Beach of Luo Garden. The beach of Luo Garden is divided into two parts: the east side is a soft sandy beach, where artificial fine sand from outside has been laid on the natural sandy beach. The west side is a rocky beach with large and small reefs scattered all over, which is also Gu Ying's daily morning practice place for Qigong exercises. Between the rocks and the sandy beach is the yacht dock of Luo Garden.

  After dinner, Gu Ying told Xiao Bai that she had something to discuss with him and hoped he could accompany her for a walk. Xiao Bai couldn't refuse, so he followed her to this rocky beach. For a long time, Gu Ying didn't speak, just standing on a rock looking out at the sea. The evening view was quite nice, with starlight and the lights from the beach reflected in the rippling waves, and the sea breeze was very gentle. Xiao Bai also stood beside Gu Ying, gazing out to sea, before finally speaking up after a long while: "Living here and seeing this ocean view every day must make one's mood much brighter... You said you had something to discuss with me, why aren't you saying anything?"

  He turned around and looked at Xiaobai with a hint of a smile on his face, asking an unexpected question: "Did you really have holes in your pants when you were little?"

  Xiaobai replied with a bit of embarrassment: "Of course it's true, I was mischievous back then, climbing trees and stuff often tore my clothes. My family was poor and didn't have many clothes to change into, so there wasn't time to mend them, that's why they had holes."

  The interest in Gu Ying's eyes grew thicker, and he asked another question: "Why are you called Bai Shaoliu? Who gave you this name?"

  "Speaking of which, it's a long story. My grandfather was called Bai Shangliu, my father was called Bai Zhongliu, so following this logic, what should I be called?"

  He covered his mouth with one hand and chuckled: "Then you should be called Bai Xiaoliu, this name doesn't sound good, no wonder your dad changed it."

  Bai Shaoliu: "It has nothing to do with my father, he passed away before I was born, and I'm a posthumous child... My grandfather didn't read many books but knew that Bai Xiaoliu didn't sound good, so he named me Bai Xiaoliu. Later when I went to elementary school, the teacher thought Bai Xiaoliu still didn't sound good, added a stroke under the character 'xiao', and I became Bai Shaoliu."

  "Your primary school teacher is not simple, this stroke is quite different, and the meaning is much more clever."

  Bai Shaoliu: "You're looking for me just to ask my name?"

  Gu Ying shook her head, gazing at Lord Lingdun and Aphthene strolling on the beach in the distance. Without needing to speak, Xiao Bai could sense what was on her mind - she had something to say, but hoped to be a bit further away from those two people; even this distance still made her uneasy. It seemed Gu Ying wanted to tell him something, yet didn't want Lord Lingdun and Aphthene to eavesdrop, so she waited for them to leave. Xiao Bai pointed at the sea: "How about we take a walk on the water? Treading ripples is a pleasure that ordinary people don't have."

  Gu Ying was surprised: "Taking a walk on the sea surface, I don't know if I can bring you together? If you're not afraid of falling into the water, you can try it."

  "Then you're underestimating me too, come with me!" He said, jumping off the reef and dashing forward in a flying posture. In the blink of an eye, he had already crossed over the waves that were rolling up on the shore, his feet treading steadily on the surface of the sea as he went.

  Gu Ying was startled and immediately showed a joyful expression, also jumping down from the reef and rushing towards the sea surface. Her white figure fluttered away in the wave light, quickly catching up with Ling Bo's small steps. She walked side by side with him, saying "When did you learn this?"

  Bai Shaoliu: "To be honest, I just realized the formless method of controlling the Great Blocks on the Yingliu River last night."

  "Congratulations, you look like a pro, not at all like you just learned it."

  "The reason is simple, because I'm quite good at swimming and not afraid of falling into the water, so it doesn't matter at all and I can even walk very stably."

  "Let's slow down, we've walked far enough. No need to rush, take a stroll, it's just a walk, not an escape."

  Bai Shaofeng: "To be honest with you, don't look at my carefree appearance, but actually I want to slow down and can't, walking slowly on the sea surface is much harder than walking quickly, my kung fu has not reached its peak yet."

  "Never mind, I'll help you." She leaned towards Xiao Bai and naturally stretched out her hand to hold his arm. An invisible force supported the two figures, slowing down their running speed. The two of them strolled on the sea surface under the starry sky, swaying with the waves.

  Gu Ying held onto Xiao Bai's arm, making him feel a bit uncomfortable, but he couldn't just pull his arm away. He tried to ask naturally, "Is there something you can say now?"

  Gu Ying: "What is your relationship with Mr. Feng?"

  "Very well, he is a respectable elder and also a profound and reclusive master."

  "Moreover, he is also the great master of Kunlun practitioners, a legendary immortal in the world."

  Bai Shaoliu: "You're aware of these things too? I don't think I've ever told you in detail."

  Gu Ying: "I'm just listening to what Teacher Weina said. Do you know why Teacher Weina came to Wuyue this time?"

  Bai Shaoliu: "Just now at the wine table, Duke Lingdun was obviously harboring ill intentions towards Mr. Feng, and Miss Weina was struggling with internal conflicts, I also found it very strange."

  Gu Ying: "I just want to remind you, if you're worried about Mr. Feng's safety, then be careful, the Vatican has put all the blame for killing Rashid on Mr. Feng's head."

  Bai Shaoliu: "Eight poles can't hit it, how could this be?"

  "Gu Ying: 'This is what the secret report from Duke Lingdon to the Vatican says. This has brought big trouble for Teacher Weina, she's already been exiled by the Vatican.'"

  Bai Shaoliu: "Expulsion? What does this mean, isn't she a Temple Knight?"

  "Things between Teacher Weina and Mr. Feng are complicated, I shouldn't be telling you this, but it's related to Mr. Feng's safety, and we both have a responsibility, so I need to discuss it with you."

  Gu Ying told Bai Shaoliu about the things that happened to Aphthita, twenty-three years ago that battle Xiao Bai already knew, twenty years ago Aphthita and Feng Junzi's meeting in a dream he had never heard of before. Gu Ying's focus was on how the Holy See handled Aphthita, which put Aphthita in an extremely difficult situation.

  After listening, Xiaobai nodded: "I fully understand. Miss Weina wanted to kill Mr. Feng but couldn't bring herself to do it, and has been hesitating about what to do. But that Lingduo Marquis also wants to kill Mr. Feng. It's really outrageous, they think they are who, killing whoever they want? With Mr. Feng's status, even the Vatican dares not move."

  "Things have become complicated, the Vatican doesn't want a direct confrontation, so they stripped Ms. Weina of her honors and expelled her. Now all her actions are personal and have nothing to do with the Vatican. I know Ms. Weina well, in her mind honor is more precious than life. If someone else had brought her such shame, she would have killed him without hesitation. Unfortunately, this time it's Mr. Feng."

  Bai Shaoliu: "Listening to you talk about the story of that island twenty years ago, I finally understand that Mr. Feng is really smart. Twenty years ago when he sealed his divine consciousness, he had already guessed today's situation and handed over things in advance, so Miss Vina has no reason to harm him today."

  Gu Ying: "I think Wei Na teacher is very pitiful, her current situation is really difficult, she shouldn't and didn't want to kill Feng Xiansheng, but everyone and everything forced her to do so. If possible, we should help her."

  Bai Shaoliu: "I also found it strange at first, Miss Weina's gaze towards Feng Xiansheng was full of mixed emotions. It turns out that's what's going on. Judging from the situation, she seems to have feelings for Feng Xiansheng, but she's really suffering too much. Neither hatred nor love can bring a perfect ending."

  "Then I don't know what to do, you've always been better at handling things than me, that's why I came to discuss this with you."

  Bai Shaoliu: "I don't have a good solution either, so let's do this. Since Miss Weina lives in Luoyuan, you can often advise her when you're free. I'll inform the Heilongbang to pay attention to Mr. Feng's surroundings at all times, and also think of ways to notify Kunlun Alliance Master Mei Yeshi. As it's a personal vendetta, Kunlun cultivators can participate in their private capacity. Master Mei is Mr. Feng's disciple, so protecting his master is only natural. As for me, I'll also pay more attention to Mr. Feng's safety."

  "Actually, Miss Weena's affair was just an excuse. Even if she didn't take action, others would have helped her kill him, such as Marquis Lington and her brother Adiro-Veena. If Veena heard about it, he would definitely take action for the sake of family honor."

  Bai Shaoliu suddenly thought of something and tightened his arm around Gu Ying: "You have to be careful, Miss Weina's safety is also important. If anything happens to her, this account can also be blamed on Mr. Feng, then Mr. Mei won't be able to openly support his master."

  "Are you saying that not only can't we let Professor Vina kill Mr. Feng, but also have to be careful about others making a move on Professor Vina? Who would make a move on Professor Vina, I don't think the Marquis of Lingdon would."

  Bai Shaoliu: "The Marquis of Lingdun may not be able to do such a thing, but someone else might. Protecting Mr. Feng is easy, but protecting Miss Weina is much more troublesome. If there's someone in the Vatican with ulterior motives, they might set a trap that would harm Miss Weina and frame Mr. Feng for it, causing him to lose his reputation and be unable to stand in society. This would be a huge blow to the Kunlun cultivators."

  Gu Ying shuddered: "Fortunately, I consulted with you, I really didn't think of this possibility! I will definitely tell Professor Weina about this speculation and remind her to pay attention to her safety."

  Bai Shaofeng said, "It's no use telling her, she won't think about these things now. The Kunlun cultivators may be willing to protect Mr. Feng's safety, but it's hard to protect Miss Vina, and I think she won't accept the help of the Kunlun cultivators either. That's where the real trouble lies. Since we two know about this matter, we'd better be more careful ourselves!"

  Gu Ying: "I didn't expect today to have so many things, after a dinner party troubles came one after another. If it wasn't for you, I really don't know how to deal with being in the midst of all this. Mr. Luo is going to tell Luo Xi about his illness tonight, and I'm really worried if little Xi can handle it."

  Bai Shaofeng turned his head to look at the villa on the distant shore with its lights on, and let out a long sigh: "Mr. Luo gave me one percent of the shares of the Heluo Group today, as well as the right to the benefits of a trust fund with a principal of 100 million, entrusting the safety of Luo Xue to me."

  "Gu Ying: 'I'm aware of all this. Mr. Luo consulted me beforehand, and I've also received a trust fund in my name. Mr. Luo has made many arrangements.'"

  Bai Shaoliu: "Luoxi, your feelings are as good as sisters. These days you should comfort her more. Life and death are things that everyone will experience. She will also grow up to inherit Mr. Luo's business... Hmm? Where is Lord Lingdun and Miss Vina going?" Xiaobai turned back on the sea, just talking suddenly found that Afutena and Lord Lingdun on the beach were walking towards the outside of Luoyuan.

  Gu Ying: "Perhaps Marquis Lington is leaving, Teacher Weinan has gone to see him off."

  Bai Shaofeng shook his head: "Do you think Miss Weina would send him? It looks like they're going out together, didn't Mr. and Mrs. Feng say at the dinner table that they wanted to take a walk in the seaside park after eating?"

  "Did you say something? What did you mean...?"

  "Things are going badly, I'm afraid someone can't wait and will make their move today! Mr. Feng has been provoking the Marquis of Lingdon at the dinner table to the point where he's almost furious."

  "Are you going to make your move in front of Mrs. Windham at the park? The Marquis of Lington wouldn't be so reckless, would he?"

  Bai Shaoliu: "That's uncertain, wanting to kill someone isn't that complicated, don't look at Ling Dun Hou's courteous appearance, in fact his heart is already filled with murderous intent, one impulsive move and he won't care about so much... Let's not say any extra words for now, let's go take a look at the seaside park first, we'll head over directly from the sea."

  Feng Junzi and Xiao Yunyi entered from the west gate of Binhai Park, walked along the beach, stopped and played. Feng Junzi even stopped in front of a small stall to shoot balloons with toy guns, breaking 29 out of 30 shots. He was very satisfied with this "achievement" and boasted to Xiao Yunyi that he was a godly marksman. However, Xiao Yunyi poured cold water on him: "Playing with these things, whether it's my grandfather or my brother, they can all hit the target with their eyes closed, and they're much faster than you!"

  It was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and the tourists in the park were gradually becoming scarce. Mr. and Mrs. Feng walked towards the main gate of the park to head home. To get from the seaside to the main gate, they had to pass through a small path between the trees. As they walked on the road, Mr. Feng suddenly sniffed his nose and muttered softly: "Do you think that even a noble duke would rob people on the street?"

  Xiao Yunyi: "Ask me? How did you know that the one hiding behind the tree is the Marquis of Lington?"

  Feng Junzi: "Is there really someone over there, did you notice? I only smelled the scent of perfume in the wind, this perfume is one that I've never smelled on anyone except for Ling Dun Houyue." He sniffed again and said: "Actually men's perfume smells very good too, this smell makes people feel very comfortable, it must be very expensive."

  Xiao Yunyi: "The men's perfume I bought for you last time, it's been almost half a year since you put it on the shelf in the bathroom, why don't you ever use it? That was a gift from me to you, how can you be so careless and not cherish my kind intentions?"

  Feng Junzi: "I was wrong, isn't it okay? The day after tomorrow when I go out, I'll spray some on and make sure everyone can smell my wife's care."

  Xiao Yunyi: "Suddenly thought of using men's perfume, who exactly are you trying to seduce?"

  Feng Junzi deliberately said in an exaggerated tone: "If I don't use perfume, you'll say I'm not cherishing your kind intentions. If I do use it, you'll suspect me of trying to entice other women. Can't talk without being misunderstood by someone like you? Isn't this a dead end?"

  The voices of Feng Junzi and Xiao Yunyi were not loud, but Ling Dun Houjue, who was hiding in the shade of a large tree not far away, heard them clearly. This conversation revealed at least two things: Xiao Yunyi knew someone was hiding here, and Feng Junzi guessed that the hidden person was Ling Dun Houjue through the scent of perfume! However, after they figured it out, they didn't pay attention to him anymore, but instead started flirting with each other, teasing each other about men's perfume.

  In the darkness, no one could see the expression of Ling Dun Hou, he stood there awkwardly, wishing to find a seam in the ground to drill into. For some reason, he was once again made a fool of by Feng Junzi in front of Aphrodite, why did he always lose face like this? He heard the conversation between Feng Junzi and Xiao Yunyi, so Aphrodite hiding behind a large tree on the other side of the path must have also heard it.

  Aphrodite and Marquis Lington were not standing together, they were hiding separately in the woods on both sides of the small road. Mr. and Mrs. Feng were walking towards this side, slowly passing through the middle of Aphrodite and Marquis Lington. Aphrodite was not in the mood to care about whether Marquis Lington was embarrassed or not, she had not figured out why she was hiding with him here, nor did she know what to do if he made a move. Hearing Mr. Feng and Xiao Yunyi's conversation, Aphrodite secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  Why did Aphrodite let out a sigh of relief? Because the Wind gentleman and his wife had already subtly exposed the identity and hiding place of Lord Lingdun, they were well aware that Lord Lingdun was hiding there, but did not continue to pursue him, only warning him in their words. In this situation, Lord Lingdun, who always valued his identity and demeanor, could no longer take action, if he didn't want to be even more embarrassed, he could only quietly stand there and let the Wind gentleman and his wife pass by.
