The two walked to the door one after the other.

The latter's heart raced, fearing that he might see something he shouldn't.

There was only a puddle of icy water left on the uneven ground, and a warm yellow light shone from inside the room.

"You're back?" Xiao He asked, opening his eyes.

"Yes." Wang Xuefeng nodded.

"Didn't you say it would be late at night?"

"Things went smoothly, so I came back ahead of schedule."

As Wang Xuefeng spoke, he took off his coat, but halfway through, he looked awkwardly at Rose behind him.

"Uh, you should go and rest first, we need to rest too."

"oh oh……"

Rose turned around like a puppet and stepped out the door with what seemed like some difficulty.

Xiao He raised his hand and pointed, and a barrier was erected inside the door, finally isolating the outside world from the chaos.

"What's wrong with her? She keeps blocking me and won't let me come over." Wang Xuefeng draped his coat aside and continued unbuttoning his shirt.

"Who knows? I can hear you all right here," Xiao He replied casually.

Wang Xuefeng casually asked, "Was it Sang Maikui who threatened you just now?"

"Hmm." Xiao He pursed his lips. "I knew he was up to no good by suddenly sending you away!"

"Haha, so how are you going to handle this?"

"I was just bragging, and he was completely fooled."

"oh?"

"Later we signed a temporary peace treaty, and there shouldn't be any major problems before we reach the Origin Continent," Xiao He explained.

"I see..." Wang Xuefeng nodded thoughtfully, lay down next to her in his most comfortable position, and then thoughtfully covered her stomach with a blanket.

Xiao He casually grabbed his arm and used it as a pillow under his head: "Do you usually sleep well here?"

"So-so. Lots of tasks, hardly any sleep." Wang Xuefeng casually touched her long hair, his eyes filled with reminiscence and longing.

The latter immediately hugged him with heartache: "Then you should rest more during this time. I can help you if there's anything."

"Okay..."

-

Rose walked absentmindedly along the road and unknowingly reached the top of the mountain.

The sky was filled with stars, and occasionally a shooting star could be seen streaking across the sky.

"It looks like tomorrow will be a sunny day," she murmured.

"rustle……"

A series of footsteps approached from behind.

Rose turned around and her eyes met those of a woman.

She remembered the woman's identity and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Right Protector!"

"Don't be nervous... We'll all be on the same team from now on, so don't be so distant." Qingniao smiled meaningfully.

"Yes," Rose answered honestly.

"I think you understand the task the Lord has given you." The Bluebird smiled and glanced at her.

"The Lord fears them, yet he has no choice but to keep them close at hand. Your task, besides monitoring them, is to prevent them from getting too close... Do you understand?"

"Rose understands, thank you for the reminder, sir."

"No need for thanks, after all, you're your only remaining value. If you don't perform well, or if you mess things up, I advise you to leave on your own. Otherwise... if the master asks me to deal with you, I'll be in a lot of trouble too..."

"Okay...okay! Please rest assured, sir! I will definitely not let you down!" Rose quickly assured him.

The bluebird smiled and said, "I hope so."

After saying that, she took out a bamboo flute that resembled a whistle and handed it to Rose with a meaningful expression.

"What is this...?" the latter asked, puzzled.

"The Flute That Calls for Love".

"What does 'calling love' mean?" Rose stroked the flute blankly, noticing its slight reddening and indescribable warmth.

The bluebird's lips curled into a smile: "If it weren't for the master's orders, I wouldn't be willing to lend you this."

"Could it be..." Rose was taken aback.

“That’s right.” The bluebird spoke as if it were something completely ordinary:

“Xuefeng has very sensitive hearing. This sound will sound different to him than to others… I think you understand what I mean.”

Rose nodded somewhat awkwardly: "I...I understand."

“I know you admire the Lord. If you can handle this matter well, I believe the Lord will not overlook you,” the Bluebird said with a faint smile.

Finally, he deliberately leaned close to her ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Don't worry, the Lord doesn't have any baby bird complex..."

Rose was startled, as if she had successfully dispelled her last doubt.

"Yes! Don't worry, sir!"

"I hope you are as sensible as the Lord says..."

The bluebird spoke lightly, and its figure slowly disappeared before her eyes, leaving only a sky-blue feather.

Rose stared blankly at the empty mountaintop. Her aimless state of mind gradually disappeared, and her bewildered eyes were replaced by a different, opposite emotion.

"My lord... did he really say that...?"

"Great! This is my chance!"

She didn't doubt the truth of the bluebird's words, because she had just witnessed it with her own eyes...

From the very first time she met Xiao He, she suspected that the "Lord of Ice" had an ambiguous and ambiguous attitude towards this younger sister, and it was impossible for her not to feel uncomfortable.

However, she knew her own identity and had no right to express these feelings.

With a jumble of thoughts, she brought the flute to her lips.

"Waaah—waaah—"

Sure enough, the voice was no different.

"Does that master really sound... different?" Rose couldn't help but have some doubts.
