Ye Fei didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the three women. Instead, he took the opportunity to carefully examine the cave's interior.
From the warm and cozy decor, he finally confirmed one thing: the gentle demeanor Bai Yingshi had shown earlier wasn't a one-time occurrence. It was her true nature, which she usually suppressed, deliberately maintaining an aloof and unapproachable demeanor.
"Even as a guardian, there's no need to be cold and distant. You don't have to live such a tiring life," Ye Fei said abruptly, leaving Zhu Yuyan and Bai You'er puzzled.
Bai Yingshi, however, understood Ye Fei's words. Her calm heart rippled like a stone dropped into water. She hadn't expected that the subtle sense of helplessness she had concealed—even from her disciple, who had been by her side day and night—would be so easily seen through by Ye Fei.
