【......】
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't look like he was being forced, Zhenxuan stopped caring about it. After all, it was just a book, and it was enough as long as its current owner, Lin Yi, was safe and sound.
"Buzz"
Zhen Xuan seemed to have noticed something and turned his writing towards Lin Yi.
[When did you reach the realm of guiding spirits? Can you still practice during this time? 】
Lin Yi paused after seeing him. Of course he would not tell Chu Ruohan the exercises he had practiced. This was not only due to his responsibility to his disciples but also because he did not want to tell them. After all, this cultivation method was... too... Shame!
"Ah... maybe it's because I'm gifted, and I understood the essence all at once."
Of course Zhenxuan didn't believe Lin Yi's explanation, but Lin Yi must have his own reasons for not wanting to tell him. Since he didn't want to talk about it anymore, he wouldn't bother asking, so he quickly changed the subject.
[Su Qiaoqiao is your apprentice? 】
"No, she is my sister. What's wrong, why do you ask this suddenly?"
[The reason why I can recover some of my abilities now is thanks to her efforts, and this child’s talent and strength are very powerful. 】
"So that's it. Qiaoqiao and Ruohan have excellent talents. They are both lucky stars for me and even Xiaoyao Peak."
[Yes, there is even a genius who is the only one in the world who has fallen in love with you. Her achievements will definitely be higher or lower in the future, and you, the kid, will definitely benefit from it. 】
"No...I didn't like her because of her talent."
Lin Yi shook her head, because she already had this emotion before she knew Chu Ruohan's identity, but it was just hidden deeply.
"She means a lot to me, and she should be the most important person in my life."
Well... Zhenxuan closed the book impatiently and lay calmly on the stone table.
hateful! This damn sour smell of love!
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly felt someone behind him. He quickly looked back and found that Chu Ruohan was standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back and looking at him with a sweet smile. A gust of mountain wind blew under the bright sunshine, blowing him away. Chu Ruohan's skirt and long hair blew to the same side.
Seeing that Lin Yi discovered him, Chu Ruohan walked towards Lin Yi happily and secretly hid the small porcelain bottle in his clan uniform.
"Ruohan? Did you hear what I just said?"
"Ayi, what do you think~"
After approaching Lin Yi, Chu Ruohan leaned sideways and sat on Lin Yi's lap. She put her hands on Lin Yi's chest and pressed her head tightly against Lin Yi's arms. The pink color on her face indicated that she was not at peace at the moment.
"I...I heard everything. I heard everything."
"Gu..."
Lin Yi held Chu Ruohan's waist to prevent her from falling, and sheepishly turned her head to look at the scenery on the mountainside.
“Thank you Ayi, I really like hearing these words♡”
Listening to Lin Yi's violently beating heartbeat, Chu Ruohan's red eyes brightened for a moment but then darkened quickly.
Ah Yi's heartbeat is so fast. I really want to see how it beats. It will definitely be beautiful~
No, no! If this happens, Ayi will be injured! Ugh...Why isn't there a technique that can see people's hearts?
Lin Yi, who was holding Chu Ruohan, had no idea that his heart was almost leaving him forever, but a biting chill made him shiver.
"That's right, Ayi."
Chu Ruohan looked at Zhenxuan on the table and asked.
"Is this Mr. Shu whom Qiaoqiao told me? Were you the one who was talking to him just now?"
"Qiao... Qiaoqiao, did she tell you?"
"Well, now I finally know why you can't put it down, A-yi. It turns out that's the reason."
Chu Ruohan's face came close to Lin Yi's eyes, and a bad feeling spread throughout Lin Yi's body.
Bad... broken! Ruohan must have known that I asked Qiaoqiao for help indirectly through Zhenxuan! Am I going to make the same mistake again...
However, Chu Ruohan did not do what Lin Yi wanted to do. He just kissed Lin Yi's lips. After a long time, he returned to his arms docilely and murmured: "This time, I am thinking about A Yi." I loved what I said just now, so I made up for it, but next time. Oh, there will be no next time~"
"Okay...okay."
Seeing that Chu Ruohan did not hold him accountable, Lin Yi immediately pointed to Zhenxuan on the table and introduced it to Chu Ruohan.
"Ruohan, let me introduce you. This book is Zhenxuan. It..."
"So Zhenxuan is an ancient book with self-awareness?"
"Yes."
Lin Yi nodded and looked at Zhenxuan.
"Zhenxuan, you should at least express your gratitude."
When Zhenxuan saw this, he straightened up immediately, opened the page of the book and introduced himself. There was no other reason. He had never been nervous when facing his first generation master before, Chu Ruohan in front of him. This inexplicable pressure made him unable to get rid of it. Don't show any airs.
[Hello...Hello, I am Zhenxuan. 】(Clever)
"Hello, Zhenxuan."
Chu Ruohan freed up a hand and shook it towards Zhenxuan.
"It turns out it's you..."
Suffered... bad!
Hearing this sentence, Zhenxuan immediately understood the meaning of Chu Ruohan's words. He was clearly complaining about his action of telling Su Qiaoqiao to save Lin Yi, which made him feel that his life was in danger.
"Forget it, fortunately the result is not too bad. Anyway, it's nice to meet you."
【Thanks. 】
"Um?"
Lin Yi didn't expect that Zhenxuan would become so well-behaved. His previous attitude towards him was not as respectful as it is now. How did his disciple do this?
"By the way, Mr. Shu, can I ask you a question?"
【Please say. 】
"Are you a soul that lives in a book or something? Do you have a gender?"
Chu Ruohan, who squinted his eyes, spoke out his most concerned question without hesitation.
[No, I am just a book awakened by spiritual power. All the abilities contained were given to me by the first master. 】
Little did Zhenxuan know that because of his words, he saved himself from being burned to ashes.
"Oh, then I'm relieved."
Chu Ruohan jumped off Lin Yi's lap and lay on Lin Yi's shoulder from behind and whispered.
"Then Ayi, you and Zhenxuan can chat here. I'll go to the woodshed to cook."
"Then...it's all thanks to you, Ruohan. If you need any help, just call me."
After Chu Ruohan left, Zhenxuan lay down calmly on the stone table. Lin Yi walked around the courtyard, but he always felt that he had forgotten something important.
...
"Tick tock...tick tock..."
There was a sound of dripping water falling into a deep pool, but if you look through the dim light, you will find that it is not a pool, but a pool full of blood.
"It's almost! It's almost successful! As long as it takes a while, the ancestor will come to the world again..."
