The Right Protector of the Demon Sect is reborn

In the days that followed, apart from the regular meditation practice at night, Lou Xinzhou no longer stayed with Nan Rongnian. She would write down some unfinished knowledge about formations and poisons on paper in her free time, and then make a booklet and give it to Nan Rongnian. With the young man's comprehension, he would learn it quickly, even faster than if she taught him personally.

As a result, the days became very monotonous. Nan Rongnian said that he would not let her watch over him, and in the following months, Lou Xinzhou really did not go to see him again, not even secretly. Instead, he went to Yu Zhang more often.

Of course, the reason she ran there was not because of Yu Zhang, but because of the little Nine-Tailed Fox that had just been born.

"Ayun, aren't you going to teach my nephew? Why do you come to me every day?"

Seeing that Lou Xinzhou came very frequently, Yu Zhang couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

"Isn't this just too cute?"

Lou Xinzhou answered softly, with a hint of gentle smile in her tone, and one could indeed hear her love for the little nine-tailed fox.

"I don't believe it." Yu Zhang smiled. After all, he had known Bai Yun for so many years, and he knew her to some extent. "You only started to come to me frequently after my junior nephew broke through to the Golden Core stage."

"..."

Lou Xinzhou said nothing when he heard this. He just picked up a dry branch and shook it left and right to play with the little nine-tailed fox.

"You guys won't quarrel anymore."

Yu Zhang asked tentatively.

"No way."

Lou Xinzhou responded subconsciously after hearing this, but he didn't pay attention to his tone for a moment and sounded a little anxious.

"It's too obvious." Yu Zhang shook his head helplessly, "Can't you just talk it out?"

“This is not something that can be resolved by just talking.”

Since he had been discovered, Lou Xinzhou simply gave up pretending. He just sighed and spoke with a barely perceptible loneliness in his tone.

"I don't understand why you humans are always so shy. If you have something to say, why don't you just say it directly? Why do you always keep it in your heart?"

Although Yu Zhang didn't know the reason for the quarrel, since Lou Xinzhou didn't say, he didn't ask directly.

"..."

After hearing this, Lou Xinzhou raised her head slightly but did not answer. After a long time, she reached out to catch a falling snowflake and spoke softly.

“So, we are human.”

......

Without Lou Xinzhou's care, Nan Rongnian worked harder than before in everything he did. He practiced fiercely, studied like crazy, and didn't leave himself even a little time to rest.

Because he didn't dare to stop. Once he had some free time, his heart would ache. Even he couldn't bear it, or he didn't want to bear it.

During this period of time, he and Lou Xinzhou hardly had a good conversation. Even when they were meditating at night, they were silent.

But Bai Yun has always been like this. Rather than saying that he has changed, it is better to say that he speaks less, a lot less. But since that day, he no longer speaks like he used to. Every time the words come to his lips, he always has concerns.

The magic sword flipped, sweeping away all the snowflakes falling from the sky, and then rolled up the snow on the ground, until a large area was cleared. Nan Rongnian put away the sword and stopped. Sweat flowed down his cheeks, but before it fell to the ground, he began to practice the next set of sword moves.

Suddenly I heard a familiar voice.

"That's enough for today."

A flash of surprise passed through Nan Rongnian's eyes, and as expected, when he turned around, he saw Lou Xinzhou.

"Why is Master here?"

He put away his knowledge, breathed slightly, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and asked softly.

Judging from the direction Lou Xinzhou came from, he should have just returned from the Nine-tailed Fox. But it is still a long time before noon. Isn't it a little too early?

These days, Lou Xinzhou would leave Qibai Palace as soon as he opened his eyes at the hour of Mao and go to the nine-tailed fox tribe to look for Yu Zhang. He would not return until before the hour of Hai, which was the time when he meditated.

"I have to see how you've learned." Lou Xinzhou replied. After a moment, he saw the boy's surprised expression and added, "There is less than a month left until the Disciple Exchange Conference."

"Is that so?" Nan Rongnian smiled softly, "Then what do you think, Master? I think I have learned quite well."

Lou Xinzhou lowered her head slightly after hearing this. In fact, when it came to learning things, she really didn't need to worry about what Nan Rong was studying, but as his master, testing his learning outcomes was also an important step that could not be missed.

"Follow me, master."

After saying this, Lou Xinzhou turned around and headed towards the top of the mountain.

Although the Qibai Palace is built high up in the snow-capped mountains, it is not completely built on the top of the mountain. In fact, it is still several hundred meters away from the real top of the mountain.

"Where are we going, Master?"

Nan Rongnian followed behind Lou Xinzhou and asked.

"How have you been learning the formation during this period?"

After hearing this, Lou Xinzhou turned around and looked at him, but did not answer directly.

"I am already proficient in the most basic defensive formations, and I am confident that I can draw various enhancement formations."

Nan Rongnian summarized simply.

"Then let the teacher take a look."

Lou Xinzhou replied softly. While they were talking, they had already reached the top of the mountain. A cold wind was raging on the top. If she had not been possessed by spiritual power along the way, it is possible that the wind would have swept them away.

"Try to use the defensive formation you learned to resist the wind on the top of this mountain."

Lou Xinzhou turned around and looked at Nan Rongnian, and as he spoke, he removed the spiritual power shield that was protecting him.

In an instant, the deadly wind hit them directly. The environment in this place was too extreme. There were countless ice chips in the air. Under the blessing of the strong wind, it was as sharp as a blade. After a while, it cut several cuts on the two people's bodies.

"Master?!"

Nan Rongnian himself didn't think there was anything wrong, but he was surprised to see that the ice chips had also left marks on Lou Xinzhou's face.

Lou Xinzhou withdrew not only Nan Rongnian's spiritual power shield, but also her own. She couldn't tell why, but she did it unconsciously. Maybe she didn't want to see him get hurt, but she had to let him go, so she thought about accompanying him.

"Master is fine. This injury is nothing to a cultivator who is going through a tribulation."

Lou Xinzhou explained.

"But......"

"Get out of the battle quickly, or you won't be able to bear it for much longer."

Nan Rongnian seemed to want to say something else, but Lou Xinzhou didn't want to listen at all and interrupted him coldly.

"it is good."

The young man nodded slowly and answered softly. Lou Xinzhou didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually heard some tremors in his voice.

"..."

But the wind in my ears was so loud, I must have heard it wrongly.
