Upon hearing this, Chen Jinggu's body froze noticeably at first, then he frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and looked at Ning Wan, who was shorter than him, without saying a word for a long time.
He couldn't tell what the complicated emotions in his heart were. The only thing he was sure of was that if he really did what he thought, the delicate girl in front of him would probably not just be angry.
He silently recited the sword technique several times in his mind and forced himself to suppress the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.
Xiao Qi, who had never expected the host to say such words, was even more nervous than the person involved, especially when he looked into Chen Jinggu's eyes and saw his overly dark gaze.
Xiao Qi, who had been locked in a small dark room hundreds of times, felt an ominous premonition sweeping over him.
At the same time, Ning Wan's aura weakened a bit, and she even felt her scalp tingling.
She admitted that she had some bad intentions and wanted to know how long the man in front of her could pretend. However, when Chen Jinggu stared at her without saying a word, she ran away as if on an arrow piercing the clouds.
Without looking back or even the slightest hesitation, he abandoned her here, leaving her alone to face the cold Shen Jinggu.
She wanted to compromise directly, to ease the tense atmosphere between them, and to end the conversation.
Ning Wan knew that as long as she stepped forward and held Chen Jinggu's hand, and said, "It was just a joke, I will only have you and no one else," the matter could be smoothly turned over.
But her remaining rationality pulled her back from the cliff. She slowly inhaled and exhaled. After several rounds of this, the tension in her heart finally subsided a little.
Xiao Qi looked at the host who was a little scared after fighting for less than three minutes, and thought silently: The host must have some big trick up his sleeve.
It didn't ask anxiously, but vaguely knew that the host must be hiding something from it, or that he had to do something on a whim.
But no normal man could tolerate such provocative words, not to mention that the person was his nominal fiancée, who had just said that she would share life and death with him and could not live without him.
It only took a few words for him to change his mind in an instant. Anyone with a brain would suspect that the host was not sincere.
But on second thought, what the male protagonist said just now was actually a test of the host's sincerity.
The host clearly made his words clear just now, but the male protagonist pretended to be generous and asked the host to give up on him. This can be said to be reaping what he sowed, right?
It must be said that the difference between those who have formed a pill and those who have not formed a pill is not only in strength, but also in momentum.
Shen Jinggu's silence was deafening. If it were an ordinary person, they would have given up long ago, and would not have stayed here like Ning Wan.
Xiao Qi did not speak out to interfere with the host's decision at the first time. Instead, as the host expected, it also expected the male protagonist to do something that would make him regret, such as carefully selecting several competitive rivals for himself.
Unfortunately, Xiaoqi got the wrong idea.
Ning Wan coughed twice pretending to be calm, and then put on an extremely innocent look. Her clear eyes reflected Shen Jinggu's voice, "Why, do you feel embarrassed, brother?"
"We're just looking for a few. Tianyan Sect isn't a small sect. Senior Brother, can't you even pick one?"
Chen Jinggu came back to his senses slightly, listening to Ning Wan's teasing tone, and raised his eyes to the mouth that opened and closed.
Her temper hasn't changed. She won't give in even when she's right, and she'll always try to make up for it even when she's wrong. If she meets someone with a bad temper, she'll definitely suffer some loss.
"It's not difficult. If Junior Sister really thinks so, it's actually a good thing."
Shen Jinggu's expression was indifferent, but his eyes showed his displeasure in a clumsy and undisguised way.
"As for finding a candidate, Junior Sister, there's no need to be so anxious. It's not too late to choose after everything is settled. Otherwise, I'm afraid your efforts will be in vain."
If she really wanted to find someone, she could only look for someone who was a little weaker than her. Otherwise, if she was bullied behind her back, there would be no one to support her.
It wasn't that he was narrow-minded and didn't think anyone was truly devoted to Ning Wan. The mere name of the Tianyan Sect was enough to attract a large crowd, not to mention the possibility of a husband becoming the heir to the Tianyan Sect.
But if those who approached her had such intentions, could she really tell?
While he rejected Ning Wan's proposal and reminded her that he was still alive, he was also struggling to think of Ning Wan's escape route. He had already forgotten that with her status and the protection of several elders of Tianyan Sect, it was not something that others could do whatever they wanted to her.
I'm afraid that as soon as he shows a little bit of his edge, he will be dealt with.
Chen Jinggu couldn't help but think that the person in front of him would also say those life-threatening words to others. He couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, and forced himself to smile a little, trying to make himself look less embarrassed.
Chen Jinggu thought he was speaking lightly, but he didn't realize that his expression was full of gnashing teeth. If there weren't so many people around him staring at him, Ning Wan even suspected that Chen Jinggu would have pounced on her and bit her.
That’s right, he hasn’t died yet, but they’ve already started selecting people. How can I not be angry?
Chen Jinggu didn't know that his exposed emotions were quite funny in Ning Wan's eyes. He just kept muttering in his heart: If he died unfortunately, it would be a happy thing for everyone if she could get over it.
He didn't want her to dwell on the past, living like a zombie relying solely on her feelings for him. He was just looking for a few...
Chen Jinggu looked at Ning Wan, and his eyes were not particularly innocent.
Her lips were well-shaped, suitable for kissing... If there weren't outsiders around, he would really want to do this, do it soberly, and let her clearly realize that he was not as noble and otherworldly as she thought.
He was also generous enough to discuss with her who would be more suitable to be her husband while he was still alive.
He is not a monk in the Buddhist temple, chanting scriptures every night to seek the best of both worlds; nor is he practicing the ruthless way, with every sword having affection but no heart; nor is he the gentleman praised by everyone, who remains calm and restrained, and has no unspeakable thoughts about his fiancée.
Ning Wan could naturally sense Chen Jinggu's scrutiny, and she couldn't help feeling a little guilty, but she still stood firmly where she was, without moving an inch.
Xiao Qi looked at the host who was silently confronting the male protagonist, and his eyes moved down a little: Although the host looked very imposing and did not clearly express his fear of the male protagonist, it always felt that the reason why the host did not move was that his legs were weak.
The wind on the top of the mountain did not care about people's life or death, but the two people standing there had learned some tricks, so it was not difficult for them to put up a rain cover.
However, Ning Wan's realm was too low, so the protective shield was naturally greatly reduced. Therefore, her body was trembling slightly, perhaps due to the wind or other reasons. The movement was very small, and if Xiao Qi hadn't looked carefully, he might not have been able to see it.
