Chapter 112: Trapped in an Emotional Whirlpool: Liu Tingting and Gong Simeng's Jealousy Erupts
Unknowingly, Shi Feiyang led the heroes of the Heroic Sakura Association in investigating the case around Jinan Prefecture for two months.
In the valley, they looked ahead, eyes gleaming with determination. No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, they would press on without hesitation. Over these two months, they faced countless trials but maintained high morale and unwavering faith.
Shi Feiyang understood deeply that only by finding the missing Sect Leaders of the Shandong Martial Arts clans could all the mysteries be unraveled, vindicating the Heroic Sakura Association, and bringing peace to the Jianghu.
Liu Tingting saw Shi Feiyang returning on horseback from a distance. Her eyes lit up instantly, showing a special glimmer; the corners of her mouth slightly curled into a smile that was perfect, carrying a hint of joy but hiding a subtle calculation.
She moved with graceful steps, excitedly going forward, her demeanor elegant like willow catkins swaying gently in the spring breeze.
In the camp, the flames flickered dimly, reflecting the anxious faces of those waiting.
The surrounding trees swayed gently in the breeze, rustling, also worried about Shi Feiyang's safety.
Liu Tingting's eyes shimmered with tears, seemingly filled with worry and joy, yet actually concealing a plan. Her voice carried a perfectly timed sob, "Brother Feiyang, you're finally back! We were all worried sick about you." Saying this, she extended her jade-like fingers, tightly grasping Shi Feiyang's reins. Her fingers turned white from force, seemingly afraid he might leave again, but actually demonstrating her concern for Shi Feiyang in front of everyone to strengthen her place in his heart.
Shi Feiyang gently patted her shoulder, comforting, "It's alright, Tingting, I have found some clues. We will definitely rescue the Sect Leaders." His gaze was firm and powerful, giving a sense of reassurance.
Upon hearing this, Liu Tingting felt slightly relieved but quickly became worried again. A glint of cunning flashed in her eyes, "Brother Feiyang, did you encounter any danger this time?" Her eyes were full of concern, seeking answers on Shi Feiyang's face. Her concerned gaze actually was probing whether Shi Feiyang's mission went smoothly or if he discovered anything disadvantageous to her.
Shi Feiyang smiled slightly, shaking his head, "Don't worry, I'm fine. But you all, staying here for so long, must have been tough." Saying this, he dismounted and walked side by side with Liu Tingting toward the camp in the valley. Their figures appeared especially warm under the sunlight.
However, in her heart, Liu Tingting was calculating her next move to utilize Shi Feiyang to achieve her own goals.
Gong Simeng stood afar, her gaze piercing through the bustling crowd, easily spotting Liu Tingting and Shi Feiyang walking closely together.
At this moment, clouds began to gather silently in the sky, covering the sun layer by layer, and the once bright world gradually became shrouded in gloom.
The air around seemed to thicken, making it difficult to breathe due to the suppressive atmosphere.
Gong Simeng's heart felt as if it was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, or fiercely gnawed by thousands of ants. Her pain and jealousy intertwined, nearly suffocating her. Her hands uncontrollably clenched the hem of her dress, fingers loudly turning white as if she wanted to tear it to vent her inner torment.
Her teeth unknowingly bit her lips severely, almost drawing blood, but the piercing pain couldn't dispel the bitterness in her heart.
Gong Simeng's eyes fixed intensely on Shi Feiyang and Liu Tingting, walking side by side, her eyes burning with almost erupting jealousy, the gaze seemingly igniting the air. Her heart was like an overturned pot of five-spice, with complex emotions surging turbulently.
She secretly pondered: What is Liu Tingting's real intention? Clearly, she sent me to stay near Shi Feiyang, yet she herself gets so close to him. Does she suspect me, or has she actually developed genuine feelings for Shi Feiyang as well?
Her mind was a tangle of chaotic thoughts; Gong Simeng could no longer suppress her emotions, stumbling forward like a lost, wandering soul.
At this moment, a gust of wind howled past, rustling the surrounding trees, tense over the impending conflict.
"Liu Tingting, what exactly are you aiming for?" Gong Simeng sharply questioned, her voice piercingly shrill from agitation, cutting through the calm air.
Shi Feiyang and Liu Tingting were startled by the sudden outburst; their bodies shook in unison and they unconsciously stopped in their tracks, slowly turning to face Gong Simeng. At this moment, Gong Simeng's face was flushed red, like a ripe tomato, her chest heaving intensely like turbulent waves, as she blurted out, "You had me come here, yet now you are here yourself, what exactly do you take me for?"
Liu Tingting frowned slightly, her brows creasing deeply as she inwardly cursed Gong Simeng for ruining her plan, but she gently advised, "Si Meng, calm yourself down first." She lamented inwardly, afraid that the Divine Water Palace's scheme might be jeopardized by Gong Simeng's behavior.
Judging from Gong Simeng's outburst, she likely has blurred the lines of acting, genuinely having fallen for Shi Feiyang, which indeed complicates matters!
"How can I stay calm?" Gong Simeng's eyes flickered with tears, full of grievances and anger, her voice slightly trembling as she dejectedly questioned, "I've done so much for you, yet you..."
