Phoenix stepped out to chase after Yiren but soon returned.
She looked at Li Nuo and Song Jiaren, shaking her head and said, "I couldn't catch up with her."
Yiren was from the Fourth Realm; if she truly resolved to leave, Phoenix, being a mere commoner, surely couldn't stop her.
Li Nuo glanced at the music box in his hand. It was something she cherished greatly, even refusing to let Ning'er touch it, yet she had left it behind before she left.
And her words just now, they didn't sound like a farewell, more like a final parting.
Unreasonably, those words tore at the heart.
Gazing in the direction Yiren had departed, Jiaren gently released Li Nuo's hand, lowered her head in contemplation for a moment, and softly said, "Husband."
Li Nuo's gaze turned toward her.
Thinking of Yiren's expression when saying goodbye, a sense of guilt grew in her heart. She lifted her head, looked at Li Nuo, and asked, "Did I treat Yiren too unfairly?"
She had never felt this way before.
