Chapter 60

After rushing into the room in a hurry, Ye Wei found Lin Ziyuan lying on the ground, covered only by a silk dress, exposing large areas of her fair skin. There was a large bruise on her forehead, and a cut on her arm, from which blood was flowing continuously.

"Ziyuan! What happened to you?" Ye Wei's expression tightened, and he quickly squatted down. He first fed Lin Ziyuan a pill to nourish her vital energy, then took out a trauma pill, crushed it into powder, and applied it to her wound.

"I, I'm fine!" Lin Ziyuan opened her eyes drowsily, realizing she was almost naked, and immediately panicked, struggling to stand up. But before she could steady herself, she stumbled and almost fell. The seal inside her body was still causing trouble; otherwise, with Lin Ziyuan's strength, she would have recovered long ago.

Seeing Lin Ziyuan so weak yet trying to be strong, Ye Wei frowned and said sternly, "Don't move!"

Seeing Ye Wei's stern expression, Lin Ziyuan quieted down.

Ye Wei placed his right hand on Lin Ziyuan's neck and his left hand under her knee, picked her up, and gently laid her on the bed.

Her body was almost completely exposed as the piece of clothing covering her had slipped down.

Lin Ziyuan's heart trembled; she was almost completely exposed before Ye Wei!

From a young age, when had she ever been so weak? She had never imagined she would lie in front of a boy like this, feeling extremely embarrassed. If Ye Wei were to do anything to her now, she wouldn't have the strength to resist.

The soft touch from his hands told Ye Wei that he wasn't dreaming; the goddess he had longed for was right in front of him. For a moment, he even had a fleeting thought, but he quickly calmed down and looked seriously at Lin Ziyuan's slightly tired face.

One day, he would win Lin Ziyuan's favor honorably, not like this. Such an elegant, charming, and gentle girl would probably make any boy unable to resist.

Lin Ziyuan kept her eyes tightly closed, her eyelashes trembling. Only by closing her eyes could she hide her inner tension.

Ye Wei reached out and pulled the blanket over her, slowly covering her body. Seeing her body covered by the blanket, he let out a gentle sigh. He gently massaged the bruise on her forehead, using his vital energy to slowly disperse it.

Feeling Ye Wei's gentle massage, Lin Ziyuan slowly opened her eyes.

Both of them were somewhat silent, though the atmosphere was a bit intimate, there was a faint sense of warmth in their hearts.

Lin Ziyuan's deep and captivating eyes made Ye Wei's heart race. Looking into her eyes, Ye Wei started a conversation, "Why is Ziyuan here in Qingyue City alone?"

Hearing Ye Wei's words, Lin Ziyuan was silent for a moment, then said after calming down, "There are some things I can't tell you yet!"

"Oh..." Ye Wei felt a bit disappointed. Why wouldn't Lin Ziyuan tell him?

Seeing Ye Wei's expression, Lin Ziyuan was worried that Ye Wei might misunderstand her lack of trust. She explained, "In a place very far from here, there is a huge city, hundreds of times larger than Qingyue City. The families in Qingyue City can't even compare to those families. The family I come from is one of the most powerful families there. A single strong person from my family could destroy the entire Qingyue City!"

Ye Wei's eyes widened, feeling both shocked and captivated. How powerful were those families?

"I am a direct descendant of that family, but from the moment I was born, my body was sealed by a powerful person for some reason. To advance in cultivation, I must break through these seals one by one!" Lin Ziyuan continued, "Of course, in emergencies, I can use some of the sealed power. So, I've always had a doubt: who sealed me, and what was their intention?"

Listening to Lin Ziyuan, Ye Wei was slightly startled. It turned out that Lin Ziyuan's cultivation advancement was so difficult. Even under such circumstances, she had reached the Warrior realm. If she had no seals, how astonishing would her cultivation be?

"Focus on your cultivation and improve your strength for now. Those powerful beings are not something you can reach yet. Today, I broke through some seals, almost dying, but I managed to turn the danger into safety and gained some power from the seals. I will recover soon!" Lin Ziyuan smiled, her mood a bit complex as she thought about the past two days.

"Okay!" Ye Wei nodded, looking at Lin Ziyuan seriously, "Ziyuan, if you want to break through the seals again, let me know, and I'll protect you!"

Seeing Ye Wei's serious expression, Lin Ziyuan's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, asking softly, "Why?"

Lin Ziyuan's shy and lowered head was particularly charming, making Ye Wei's breath catch. He stammered, "I, I'm worried you might encounter danger again..."

If Ye Wei were to protect her again, the same awkward situation would likely occur. To allow her vital energy to dissipate faster during the seal-breaking process, she had to wear very little clothing. The events of the past two days had already made Lin Ziyuan quite embarrassed.

"Ziyuan, I'll get you a glass of water!" Seeing that Lin Ziyuan hadn't spoken for a long time, Ye Wei stood up and said.

As Ye Wei was about to leave the room, Lin Ziyuan suddenly called out, "Ye Wei..."

"What is it?" Ye Wei turned around, puzzled.

Looking at Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan's eyes flickered, then she said softly, "Ye Wei, don't tell anyone about what happened today. This matter might... affect you... us..."

Hearing Lin Ziyuan's words, Ye Wei took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and said, "I understand. I won't tell anyone about this!" With that, Ye Wei walked toward the door.

As Ye Wei left, Lin Ziyuan suddenly felt a hint of loneliness in his back, and her heart ached. Did I say something I shouldn't have, hurting Ye Wei?

At the door, Ye Wei suddenly stopped, not turning around, but said solemnly, "I know I don't match you, whether in family background or cultivation, I am far inferior to you..."

"No, that's not true..." Lin Ziyuan's eyes reddened, feeling a bit heartache, and she quickly said.

"But..." Ye Wei took a deep breath and said firmly, "If my family background is not good enough, I will strive! If my cultivation is not good enough, I will practice! One day, I will catch up to you and surpass you! Then I will become your support! Lin Ziyuan, whether you like me or not, I know a girl has deeply entered my heart, and I will never forget her. One day, I will make you my wife! For now, we will still call each other brother and sister. When I have enough strength to be your support, I will pursue you..."

After saying that, Ye Wei immediately walked out.

Watching Ye Wei's back disappear at the door, Lin Ziyuan felt a faint warmth and a hint of sweetness in her heart.

The young man's words were deeply etched in her heart.

After a long time, a tear rolled down her fair and charming face, and Lin Ziyuan sighed deeply.

"Ye Wei, your talent is good, and you work hard, but you will never understand what that noble family is. You can't fight against them! I can't let you get into danger because of me. I'm sorry!" Lin Ziyuan wiped away her tears, her eyes flashing with a determined light.
