"Yeying, wait a moment."
Obi stopped Ye Ying, and he turned his head to look at Bai Xue and Gretel who were running ahead in a hurry, with undisguised worry and helplessness in his eyes.
Turning his head, those dark golden eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.
"You stay," he lowered his voice, "the glowing water will probably be infected if it gets close, and if we all fall down, it will be over."
Ye Ying froze for a moment, she frowned, her deep purple eyes stared at Obi.
Obi didn't give in at all, he stood in front of Yeying, his dark golden cat pupils were bright and sharp.
An easy-going smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the firmness revealed made Ye Ying's breathing stagnate, and his momentum weakened a little.
She opened her eyes a little bit, a little unwilling - she knew that what Obi said was right, such a place, even if she went, it would be useless.
She doesn't understand such a disease, going there can only increase the number of infected people, and Obi can take good care of Bai Xue.
But she is not reconciled, how long has it been since she was so powerless?She is the strongest killer and never gets stuck in missions.
She clenched her fist tightly, then loosened it a little bit, raised her head, and stared at Obi with those deep purple eyes.
"I see." She said calmly.
"I will stay."
"Well... take care of Master Long."
"Ah."
……
Ye Ying silently watched the few people leave, then turned and walked towards the study.
Her footsteps paused, her cold and sharp eyes looked in a certain direction, and then instantly restrained the sharpness in her eyes.
"His Royal Highness Izana." She saluted calmly, feeling that the other party walked towards her with a condescending gaze.
Yizhan's flat voice had a majesty different from Qian: "Go over there and have a few words with me."
She nodded, followed the other's footsteps and disappeared into the shadows.
"Yeying, right?"
Yi Zhana chair was sitting by the pillar in the corridor, his eyes swept across the face of the quiet Ye Ying.
"When I was not in the palace, there seemed to be a lot of unidentified people around Qian..."
There was the usual indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes became cold.
"I really want to know, as the number one killer, why did you go to my 'brother'?"
There was no fluctuation in Ye Ying's eyes.
She gazed at the supreme being in the entire kingdom calmly and naturally, just like Obi did.
"I will not harm His Royal Highness, or anyone in the Kingdom of Clarinis—whether it is the royal family or the common people."
"I am no longer a killer, now I am His Highness Qian's messenger."
There was no need to tell about Obi, she knew.
The Izana in front of him was different from Qian, he would not believe that as the king of killers, she would give up her identity just because she liked someone, which would only make Obi's situation more difficult.
However, she has no better reason, she can only truthfully repeat the things she promised thousands of times——
[As long as I can stay by his side, I can guarantee that no one in this country will be harmed without an order. 】
"Is this your answer..."
Izana looked at Ye Ying, and suddenly smiled inexplicably.
He turned his head, the direction was exactly where Obi and the others left.
"So it's because of him?"
Ye Ying's pupils shrank suddenly.
Her breathing stagnated slightly, and then immediately returned to its normal frequency, as if nothing had happened.
"I don't understand what Your Highness means."
Looking at her expression, Izana slightly raised the corners of his lips.
"You wanted to go with me just now, but you were rejected...ah, I didn't intend to investigate on purpose, I just happened to pass by and saw it."
"At that time, your expression was much more vivid than now..."
"What's his name... Obi?"
"It seems to be a killer too... Sure enough, shouldn't he be given his identity certificate at the beginning..."
"What do you need me to-"
A cold and indifferent voice interrupted Izana's words.
Yeying raised her head, staring at Izana's eyes with her cold eyes.
——He knew about Obi, and he used it undisguisedly...
She let her body relax, only her eyes became colder and colder.
She didn't want Obi's life ruined, in any way.
Obi wanted to stay here, by Qianhe Baixue's side, she couldn't break everything just because of her appearance.
"You came to me because my ability can come in handy."
"I'm not good at anything other than killing people, so—"
"Who do you want to kill?"
——If I want to kill anyone, I will go, so don't touch my bottom line——
Izana looked at the girl in front of him and raised his eyebrows.
There was no anger, no unwillingness, no fear, not even the slightest expression of emotion.
She just spoke calmly, as if facing the tasks she had taken on one by one.
However, the faint sharpness revealed in those eyes seemed to peel off the fragile shell in an instant, revealing the inner coldness and strength.
This was the first time he saw this girl showing an aura suitable for her identity, which was more dangerous than any dead warrior he had ever seen.
As expected of being number one...
He looked at Ye Ying, then turned his gaze to the snow field outside the corridor.
Thinking about that Obi who showed no respect or fear towards him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
...It seems that his dear brother easily provokes all kinds of weird people... Strange people attract physique?
He waved his hand suddenly, stood up straight, turned and walked out.
"Come here today, it seems that you should go back."
"As long as you don't do unnecessary things..."
Izana's voice disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Ye Ying's fingertips hanging by his side moved slightly.
...don't do unnecessary things...
But it seemed that this topic was over, she was slightly relieved from the bottom of her heart.
She didn't want to face Izana, the royal family at the apex of the country who could determine the power of the palace.
He can easily decide her and Obi's fate.
……
"Miss Yeying...?"
Long looked up at Ye Ying who had just returned, with a hint of worry on his small face.
He whispered, trying not to let his voice be heard by others.
"Did His Highness Izana tell you something just now?...You seem to be in a bad mood."
"No...just let me do my part."
Ye Ying looked at the worry-looking dragon in front of her eyes, the coldness in her eyes had already subsided into a touch of peace.
She doesn't take her problems to others around her, especially a pure scholar like Long.
Looking at the busy pharmacists in the room, and at the books and materials piled up in front of Long, she leaned slightly:
"Just call me Ye Ying, Master Long... is there anything I can do for you?"
……
Obi looked up at the white snow in front of him, thankful that he brought a snow shovel.
Looking back at Bai Xue who was panting, "Miss, are you alright?"
"It's okay." Bai Xue wiped the sweat from her forehead. Even in such a cold winter, the uphill road covered with thick snow is difficult to climb.
"If you go up, it will be an outdoor experimental cultivation field."
"Well, it is said that only researchers can enter."
"Hey, Obi."
Baixue panted, looking at Obi who was in front of him with a relaxed face, with a curious look in his eyes.
"Miss Yeying, she... Obi seemed to tell her not to follow?"
"Ah, I thought that if everyone came here, it would be bad if they all contracted the disease."
Obi laughed awkwardly.
Of course he won't say that although this is also one aspect, he still feels that it is even more impossible to let Bai Xue and Ye Ying appear on the same occasion...
"Obi takes good care of Miss Yeying~" Bai Xue laughed jokingly.
"However, I haven't seen Miss Yeying in the palace before... Does Obi know about her?"
"Is this...not sure, I only saw her for the first time a few days ago."
Obi looked away guiltily, feeling that it would be dangerous to continue this topic...
And it's not easy to tell Bai Xue the identity of the Yeying killer, it seems that it will leave the impression that "the master is surrounded by dangerous people like himself"...
"Hey~~~, isn't it?" Bai Xue dragged out her voice, and the meaning of inquiry in her voice didn't decrease but increased, "She has an aura very similar to Obi... Isn't she a former partner at work? Like Troy~"
"And Miss Yeying looks at you not at all like the way I just met just now~~~ I always feel that it is more, more—"
"Ah! Could it be—"
Bai Xue suddenly approached Obi, her amber eyes stared excitedly at Obi.
Obi was startled by Bai Xue approaching in front of him, leaning back, cold sweat dripping down his face: "...Miss?"
"Could it be that she...Miss Ye Ying likes Obi?!"
……
what--? !
——A woman's sixth sense? !
"...Ahahaha! How is it possible!"
Obi was startled, and immediately let out a haha with his eyes fluttering.
"Miss, you read it wrong, it's just an ordinary colleague relationship..." Miss, are you a god, you can see this?
"Besides, I have nothing to like."
"Why not~" Bai Xue said with a happy smile, "Obi is very gentle~"
Her voice was extremely gentle, and her bright smile was like sunshine on a warm day, which stunned Obi.
He subconsciously opened his mouth to say something, but the voice couldn't come out no matter what.
Then he heard Bai Xue say happily:
"Congratulations, Obi!"
Congratulations... are you...?
The voice lingered in the throat, and then gradually dissipated.
His heart seemed to be stabbed.
He looked at the young lady with a joyful smile in front of him, with a slight bitterness in his mouth.
Yes, the lady doesn't know... what I like about her.
So she gave him the most sincere blessings from the standpoint of a friend.
Miss is right, it's just——
"Ah..." He responded in a low voice, with the usual easy-going smile on his lips.
He shifted his eyes away to cover up the slight loneliness in his eyes.
——It’s just miss, your smile and congratulations are so cruel to me at this moment...
"Ah! I really like it!"
Bai Xue's voice, as excited as if he had discovered a new world, interrupted him.
Obi: "..."
So, was the congratulations just now deceiving him?
Someone held his forehead, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
No one can clearly see the expression under the shadow of the palm.
Obi stopped Ye Ying, and he turned his head to look at Bai Xue and Gretel who were running ahead in a hurry, with undisguised worry and helplessness in his eyes.
Turning his head, those dark golden eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.
"You stay," he lowered his voice, "the glowing water will probably be infected if it gets close, and if we all fall down, it will be over."
