He walked all the way from the back mountain to the front mountain and handed in the mission jade slip. After leaving the college gate, Han Feng stood on the edge of the endless cliff of Tiannan Peak.
The cold wind blowing from the northern forest was blowing in his face, but it could not calm him down at all.
At this moment, he actually felt "confused"!
Regarding Dugu Nianxue, Han Feng had a respectful attitude toward this aloof and powerful mentor from the very beginning of their "dramatic" acquaintance.
But as the other party taught him marksmanship and led him into the art of marksmanship, in addition to being in awe, Han Feng felt an additional layer of gratitude towards her.
In addition, if there was a slight disturbance, it might be that time when Dugu Nianxue took herself to the Beiyuan Forest for a trial. The two of them encountered countless flying monsters led by the Phoenix and were chased and killed.
Han Feng unexpectedly witnessed the scene of Master Dugu taking a bath.
Although in front of Dugu Nianxue, Han Feng swore that he would never tell anyone about it.
But occasionally in the middle of the night, or when an inadvertent thought flashes, that infinitely beautiful picture will still appear in Han Feng's mind from time to time, and his imagination will wander.
However, Han Feng knew that this was not heartbeat and admiration.
To put it bluntly, this is at best just an "lsp"'s deep impression and memory of some beautiful things. Han Feng is still in awe and gratitude for Master Dugu.
However, since that night's "candlelight dinner", Han Feng drank and sang unscrupulously in front of Dugu Nianxue for the first time.
It was also the first time I saw Dugu Nianxue showing such a casual and natural attitude, like a girl next door.
On that moonlit starry night, with his drunken eyes hazy, Han Feng had already inadvertently developed a different feeling for her.
It’s not a disciple versus a teacher, but more a man versus a woman!
It's just that Han Feng got drunk in the end and lost consciousness.
So much so that even he himself couldn't tell whether the feeling was real or fake, whether it was a dream or an illusion.
Then there was the day when the competition between the two houses ended, and Han Feng was scrambled by all the instructors to be accepted as his disciple, and was faced with a difficult decision.
Dugu Nianxue appeared, and she looked at Han Feng's injured body. Her eyes suddenly became as sharp as a blade, and she was clearly angry.
And after returning to the cave, he was seriously injured but didn't care, and first refined the medicine for himself.
All of this, invisibly, had already deeply touched Han Feng's heart.
He found that the Dugu Mentor in his heart seemed to be no longer the original Dugu Mentor.
This feeling makes Han Feng a little uneasy, and even occasionally feels a sense of "betrayal" and "blasphemy".
Han Feng did not dare to let down the one he loved, and at the same time, Dugu Nianxue was lofty in his heart, like a spotless goddess.
Therefore, Han Feng subconsciously chose to step back and maintain the distance between the two of them.
I thought that by doing this, I could return to the calm state of "mind as still as water".
But when they were leaving today, what Dugu Nianxue said made Han Feng completely unable to calm down.
"What does tutor... mean?
Even with Han Feng's "outrageous" emotional intelligence, he finally understood something at this moment.
For a time, tension, excitement, and even hesitation... complex emotions filled Han Feng's heart.
He didn't know how to respond for a moment, and how to face his mentor Dugu. After all, she was not an ordinary woman, but an academy mentor, a moon-level expert.
After thinking for a long time, Han Feng finally shook his head vigorously, temporarily putting aside the messy thoughts in his heart.
It’s better to wait until you come back from Bailong County before making a decision!
…
After calming down his complicated thoughts, Han Feng looked at the western world.
In the blink of an eye, I have been away from Bailong County for more than half a year, and I don't know the current situation of my family.
Thinking back to what Instructor Zhong told him about the situation in Bailong County a few days ago, Han Feng became anxious again and wanted to return home!
At that moment, Han Feng raised his hand and a dark light appeared in the storage ring.
The ark swelled in the wind and became several feet long and wide. Han Feng immediately jumped up and stepped on it.
As the rich spiritual power in his body poured into the Ark, Han Feng had a thought in his mind.
"Buzz...!"
The ark buzzed slightly, and along with a flash of black light, "one person and one brick" turned into a shocking giant, fleeing far to the west!
At the same time, in the void behind the Tiannan Peak, deep in the clouds and mist, a graceful figure was suspended in the sea of clouds.
Looking at the front mountain, the figure stood on the edge of the cliff for a long time, and then escaped in the dark light.
Her starry eyes moved slightly, and a pair of slender jade hands were clasped together gently, seeming to be inexplicably nervous.
Watching the figure disappear into the distance, she sighed softly, muttering to herself a little shyly and melancholy.
"This guy, does he... understand?"
With unprecedented nervousness and expectation, the woman slowly withdrew her gaze and wanted to fly back to the cave.
Unexpectedly, the void behind him twisted, and an old man in white robes appeared.
Seeing this person, the woman's beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise, but she also bowed her hands respectfully.
"Nian Xue, I have met the dean!"
The old man in white robe smiled and raised his hand, and a gentle energy lifted Dugu Nianxue up.
He said with a kind expression.
"Nianxue, how many thoughts have you had on coming to my Tiannan College to be a tutor?"
Dugu Nianxue couldn't help being stunned when she heard this, but out of respect for the dean, she still replied respectfully.
"Nian Xue has been teaching here for eight years."
The old dean nodded slightly and immediately stared into the distance.
"Hey... eight years, but in just a blink of an eye, the nine-year period agreed upon by you and your father is almost here."
Hearing this, Dugu Nianxue's eyes flashed and she nodded.
Seeing that Dugu Nianxue was silent, the old dean took the initiative to speak.
“I already know what happened to you in the imperial capital.
The Grand Marshal's King Ceremony should have been a day celebrated by the whole country. Why did your father and daughter get so angry and create the current situation? "
Hearing this, Dugu Nianxue narrowed her eyes slightly, but a hint of cold resentment flashed in her eyes, and she said in a cold voice.
"Hmph... I'm not his daughter. I severed the father-daughter relationship with him as early as eight years ago."
Hearing this, the old dean shook his head and sighed.
"Nian Xue, the marshal is the pillar of the empire and a loyal minister. His original decision also had his own reasons, and he is definitely not ruthless to you.
Besides, isn't it because you are concerned about the Marshal's safety when you return to Beijing this time? Is there any conflict between father and daughter that cannot be resolved? "
Hearing this, Dugu Nianxue's expression changed slightly, but finally returned to a cold state!
"Dean, please stop trying to persuade me. I will take full responsibility for my affairs and will never hinder Tiannan College in the slightest.
After nine years of agreement, I will also end it in my own way! "
After that, before the old dean could say another word, Dugu Nianxue flashed and disappeared into the sea of mist.
Seeing Dugu Nianxue disappear, the old dean looked helpless. While shaking his head and sighing, there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
The responsibility this woman shouldered was so heavy that even he, the leader of Tiannan College, could not do anything for her.
