The Right Protector of the Demon Sect is reborn

After seeing Yu Zhang off, Nan Rongnian continued to practice swordplay without saying a word. He was agitated and his sword-drawing speed was much faster than usual. The force of his sword swings was also much greater. The hand holding the hilt of the sword turned white from the force. His originally gentle moves became fierce. Not a single snowflake from the sky could land on him.

Lou Xinzhou knew that he was venting. She had seen him smile a lot in the past few days, and when she suddenly saw him looking worried, she felt very uncomfortable. She was worried and unconsciously put the matter of the formation behind her, and watched over him for another morning.

He couldn't open his mouth. If he wanted to explain, it would seem very deliberate. But if he didn't say anything, Lou Xinzhou felt itchy in his heart and uncomfortable no matter what.

But it was obvious that there was nothing innocent between Ming Yun and Yu Zhang. It ended before it even began and there was no need for explanation. So why did that guy look so unhappy?

What's there to worry about?

Lou Xinzhou didn't quite understand. The more he thought about it, the more distressed he felt. However, he didn't want to be angry with him, so he had to hold it in. During the lunch break, he taught him the formation, but the young man started to ask.

"Master, how long have you known the person who came today?"

Nan Rongnian asked tentatively.

What do you mean by the person who came today? Didn't you say he was Uncle Master?

Lou Xinzhou was speechless. Although the boy's tone was no different from usual, his choice of words and sentences showed that he didn't like Yu Zhang very much.

But since Nan Rongnian took the initiative to ask, she took the opportunity to explain.

"He had already followed your master, Hanri Shenzun, before I became his disciple." Lou Xinzhou said softly, "Your master likes him very much. If the Nine-Tailed Clan didn't want the clan members to be too involved with humans, I would have called him Senior Brother."

"So, Master, you have known him for hundreds of years?"

Nan Rongnian was slightly surprised. He supported himself on the stone table with one hand and clenched his other hand tightly under the stone table.

Lou Xinzhou was always paying attention to his emotions, but the boy showed nothing on his face, so she couldn't see anything for the time being and just nodded slightly.

"So is what he said true? That you, Master, rejected his confession?"

Nan Rongnian tilted his head and smiled, his light blue eyes shining with inexplicable emotions.

This was of course true, but for some reason, Lou Xinzhou was a little hesitant to nod, and answered after a moment.

"He's kidding."

"Ah, that's it."

Nan Rongnian replied with a smile, but the smile on his face was very ugly. As he spoke, he took out a stack of yellow talisman paper from under the stone table, intending to continue practicing what he had learned yesterday.

You don't have to laugh like that.

Lou Xinzhou felt a little reluctant, but didn't know what to say.

When Yu Zhang told Bai Yun about his feelings, Bai Yun had already entered the path of ruthlessness. When she heard those affectionate words, she was only surprised and did not have any other feelings.

"My teacher cultivates the way of ruthlessness."

Lou Xinzhou added another sentence, but he was stunned after he finished speaking.

Ah, it's over. This is the same for Nan Rongnian. Why is she...

After hearing this, Nan Rongnian paused for a moment. He had never made a mistake before, but this was the first time he had taken the wrong path.

"..."

"Drawing it wrong..."

Lou Xinzhou reminded him, then looked away, wanting to die.

It's better not to explain.

"It's okay, Master. I know. I just accidentally... drew it wrong."

Nan Rongnian replied, and spiritual power flashed in his palm, burning the wrongly drawn talisman paper into ashes. The firelight reflected on his face. He quietly raised his head to glance at Lou Xinzhou, and then lowered his head to continue painting.

Yes, he had known it for a long time. He had known for a long time that this relationship would never have any result. There were so many insurmountable obstacles between him and her, and the ending was already determined.

"..."

Speechless for a moment.

Lou Xinzhou looked at the snow drifting all over the sky. The wind blew silently, but the chill it brought was bone-chilling.

Bai Yun practiced the ruthless way, but she practiced the compassionate way.

It hurts so much. I can feel your pain.

"That's enough." After watching Nan Rongnian draw many talismans in silence, Lou Xinzhou finally spoke, "I'm going to learn something new today."

"What to study?"

Nan Rongnian raised his head upon hearing that, put the talisman papers he had just drawn neatly together, and smiled... very brightly.

You got over your emotions so quickly?

Lou Xinzhou was slightly surprised.

"You have already drawn the talisman very well. It's time to learn how to draw the formation."

There are many differences between talismans and formations. The most important one, of course, is that talismans are on paper, while formations are on the ground. In addition, the alignments of the two are also different. However, the two are also connected. If you know how to draw talismans, drawing formations will be much easier.

"Come with me."

After saying this, Lou Xinzhou stood up and walked towards the place where she had drawn the formation this morning.

The protective formation I just drew today comes in handy.

"Master, umbrella."

Nan Rongnian also stood up, but Lou Xinzhou walked too fast and plunged into the snow without waiting for him. The young man frowned slightly, followed him a few steps, and then opened his paper fan.

"..."

Lou Xinzhou glanced at him and said nothing.

What does this little bit of snow matter?

......

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Since that day, Nan Rongnian had restrained himself a lot. Both of them had a thorn in their hearts and were not as close as before. But what was funny was that they were more like master and disciple than before.

Master and disciple should not be too close, so Nan Rongnian said.

"Master, you don't have to watch over your disciple while he practices swordplay all day, nor do you have to accompany me in drawing talismans. These are the most basic things. Master only needs to take the time to check the results."

The moment she heard this, Lou Xinzhou wanted to refuse, but she couldn't find any reason. Just as the young man said, practicing sword and drawing talismans were the most basic and mechanical things. They were all meaningless repetitions just to deepen muscle memory. They were really of no use to her.

This is how normal masters and apprentices get along, and this is how Bai Yun and Nan Rongnian should also get along.

But......

Things were clearly developing along the original trajectory, so she should be relieved, but for some reason, she felt even sadder.

No longer having to stay by Nan Rongnian's side like before, Lou Xinzhou had a lot of free time, but she had nothing to do so she just lay in front of the window and stared blankly.

Some time ago, she always felt that time passed too quickly, but now she felt that time passed so slowly. If possible, she really wanted to skip this long period of time and fast forward to the ending.

By the way, what is the final ending of Bai Yun and Nan Rongnian?

It's not written in the scroll, and the way of heaven doesn't say it, but...

Sure enough, there won’t be any good results.
