My messenger is a little fox

"follow me!"

Asakura Nako left a word and pulled the door back, leaving an angry Takeda Masami beating her chest hard.

The sky turned completely dark. Asakura Nako and Takeda Masami ran towards the back mountain at a very fast speed. The two little girls who hurried back happened to see Asakura Nako's back again.

"No! Senior Sister Asakura ran away again!" The tall girl stamped her feet anxiously: "What should I do?"

"It seems like there isn't a ghost in the back mountain!" the short girl gasped, hunched over and patting her chest.

"This time, Senior Sister Asakura and Senior Sister Takeda ran away together, but what about the food?" The little girl was so anxious that she cried.

"Ah - Sister Nako and Sister Takeda ran away together?"

Only then did the short girl react. Thinking of the rumors in the past few days, she immediately dropped her food box and said anxiously: "You're still giving me shitty food! It's already something serious! Go tell the palace master's mother-in-law, I'll go find brother Li Yu." !”

When Li Yu arrived, the two women were fighting fiercely. Maybe it was because of the real fire, the two of them at this moment could already be described as fighting.

However, Asakura Nako was obviously weaker than Takeda Masami in terms of cultivation and sword skills. She was almost suppressed by the opponent and beat her, relying solely on the ferocious aura in her chest to hold on. However, Masami Takeda still has some sense and does not fight head-on with Nako Asakura. Instead, she relies on her superb swordsmanship and speed to gradually squeeze her space for movement, like a spider that surrounds its prey, losing it bit by bit. The ability to resist.

Li Yu did not dare to speak rashly, because in this kind of irrational close combat, if either party loses focus, blood may be spilled on the spot. He needs a suitable time to separate the two.

As she was gradually forced into a desperate situation, Asakura Nako, who felt miserable and miserable, almost went crazy and no longer cared about her own life. Every time she took action, she was fighting for her life. Takeda Masami noticed something unusual and used zigzag footwork, leaving several afterimages behind, but her body quickly retreated. Asakura Nako stabbed quickly, the sword passed by the first afterimage but missed.

Chance! Li Yu, who had been gathering momentum for a long time, instantly erected three ice walls between the two of them.

Takeda Masami immediately escaped from Asakura Nako's sight under the cover of the ice wall, and occasionally smiled and nodded to Li Yu. Although it was covered by night, she had already noticed Li Yu's arrival.

Seeing the ice wall, Asakura Nako was at a loss for a moment. As Takeda Masami's target disappeared, the violent energy that supported her body movements disappeared. She suddenly felt a deep exhaustion surge in her body, and her body shook. Akira was about to fall down, but suddenly felt a tightness around his waist and someone was hugging him.

When he reluctantly raised his eyes, he saw the handsome face that often appeared in his dreams recently. "Brother Li!" Asakura Nako felt warm in her heart, and then passed out.

The old palace master also came over at this time, put his hand to test the breath in Asakura Nako's body, sighed and said: "This child is obsessed!" and left again.

Takeda Masami also came over to check it out and said: "The disordered breath and blocked meridians have nothing to do with me!"

Li Yu nodded and said, "Naiko needs to sort out her meridians. Let's send her back to her room first."

Asakura Nako's room is completely in line with the simple style of the temple. The room was not big, with tatami mats on the floor. In addition to a large standing cabinet and a statue niche on the wall, there was only a low table and a few cushions.

Nako Asakura was lying quietly on the tatami, covered with a quilt, and she hadn't woken up yet. Li Yu, the old palace master, Takeda Masami and an older priest who was good at sorting out meridians sat facing each other around Asakura Nako. The stove in the room was so hot that I didn't feel the coldness of winter at all.

Masami Takeda recounted what she knew in detail. It turns out that Asakura Nako has been depressed ever since she saw Ri Yu and Takeda Masami learning swordsmanship. Two days ago, she accidentally heard the rumors from the girl who delivered the food. She began to feel depressed, which affected her cultivation and almost went crazy.

Rumors say that Takeda Masami tried every means to join the Tohei Shrine just for Li Yu. It is also said that Takeda Masami used sword skills to get close to Li Yu. The two have been together every day recently and have developed feelings for each other. And Li Yu has a new love, and has forgotten Asakura Nako who has never shown up.

The trauma she suffered during her training affected Nako Asakura's mind, and her actions began to become radical. When she invited Takeda Masami to take action, she bet whether or not she would stay in the Dangping Temple, and the loser would leave the Dangping Temple. This is how the fight ensued.

After hearing this, the old palace master was silent for a while and then said: "I will deal with the rumors, but you, the young people, should deal with it yourself!" After saying that, he looked deeply at the sleeping Asakura Nako and said to another priest. : "Yamazaki, let's go!"

The old hall master and Priest Yamazaki left, leaving Li Yu and Takeda Masami looking at each other.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

In the past, when the two were teaching swordsmanship together, they didn't feel anything at all, and they didn't pay attention to the rumors. But since knowing the content of the rumors, they always have a strange feeling when they sit alone together.

"Actually..." The two of them started almost at the same time and stopped at the same time.

"Say first..." The situation was awkward again.

After waiting for a long time, perhaps to confirm that Li Yu would not rush to open his mouth again, Takeda Masami said: "Actually, I already have a fiancé. He is much better than you. You must not try to take my ideas!"

Li Yu said "Ah": "Actually, you don't have to worry, I don't like you either, your character..."

"Canglang!" Takeda Masami drew the sword in his hand and gritted his teeth and said: "Li Yu, I really want to teach you swordsmanship now..."

"Pfft-" Before Li Yu could react, a laughter that he tried hard to suppress suddenly rang out.

The two of them looked down at the same time, and saw Nako Asakura covering her face tightly with her hands. As if she thought it was not enough, she quickly pulled up the quilt to cover her head.

...It turns out that Asakura Nako has woken up.

"Sister Asakura, come out. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, there is nothing to be ashamed of..."

"Nako, come out! No one blames you, Miss Takeda also forgives you..."

After the two people persuaded her for a while, Asakura Nako quietly poked her head out from Takeda Masami's side, whispered a few words to Takeda Masami, and then retracted. Li Yu was stunned by this operation.

"Li Yu, please go back first!" Takeda Masami looked at him and said.

"Ah? But I still want to stay and advise Naiko!" Li Yu said in confusion.

"I don't need your persuasion anymore! Go back and rest first!" Masami Takeda winked at Li Yu.

"You really don't need my persuasion anymore? Nako..." Li Yu said half-convinced and wanted to ask Asakura Nako.

Takeda Masami quickly interrupted, stared and said impatiently: "Just leave as soon as I tell you to! Do you have to listen to the little things girls say to each other?"
