But they shouldn't be able to see it.

Thinking this, Long Xun withdrew his divine sense, stretched out his hands, and slowly touched the ties on the collar of his black robe.

On the other side, Xia Yize thought about all the trouble he had caused Long Xun and Shao Gong along the way, and how he had almost implicated Long Xun tonight... He felt uneasy.

Senior Dragon and Brother Dragon, one saved his life from danger, the other is his friend. If something really happens to them...

Xia Yize suddenly turned his head and walked towards the backyard.

I must explain the situation to Senior Long and resign!

As Xia Yize turned the corner, he suddenly noticed a flash of silver light in the backyard, soft yet bright, as if the moon had suddenly appeared in the yard, enveloping the entire backyard in a hazy moonlight.

Xia Yize looked up and froze in place for a moment.

In the center of the courtyard, the senior dragon had already removed his black robe, revealing a cold and austere black armor. His silver hair was tied up with a golden crown, and a pure white long beard hung from the top of the crown.

He had dragon horns on his head, which flew backward at an angle, their color slightly white and smooth as jade. Behind him was a silver dragon tail, its silver scales like brocade, hanging down to the ground.

He stood there, eyes slightly closed, head tilted back to the sky, only his profile visible. He was so handsome that it made one lose all sense of reason and could only stare at him blankly.

A soft, bright silver light emanated from him, illuminating the backyard in the night. He stood on that open space, yet it felt as if he were walking on clouds.

Xia Yize stared blankly at the man in the courtyard. His skin was slightly translucent, but gradually returned to normal as the silver light slowly surged.

And more and more, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

No… that’s not right… Xia Yize, you can’t stare at him like that…

—Just for a little while, just for a little while.

That's Senior Dragon... that's your savior, you can't offend him...

—He won't find out, will he...? Just keep watching for a little while longer.

Xia Yize stood frozen in the corner like a sculpture. His gentle and calm eyes gradually brightened the moment he saw the people in the courtyard, as if a galaxy of stars had fallen into them, as if his eyes contained the universe.

And the universe in his eyes lit up for that person.

How strange... I, I actually... my heart is pounding like a drum... my mouth is dry...

In fact, two blushes appeared on his fair cheeks.

Just then, Xia Yize saw that the man who had been quietly closing his eyes no longer had any transparent marks on his body.

The man opened his eyes and looked over in this direction with a detached expression.

His silver eyes, indifferent and languid, were like those of a god, yet they reminded Xia Yize of the fleeting glance they exchanged at the auction house.

Something seemed to suddenly explode in his mind, and what burst forth made Xia Yize feel a sense of disbelief and panic...

...

Long Xun stared blankly at the corner. He had just replenished his spiritual energy that day when he vaguely sensed someone watching him from the shadows, but when he opened his eyes, he saw nothing.

Could it be some kind of little sprite?

Long Xun shook his head slightly, put on his mask and black robe, and put the matter out of his mind.
