Fang Ruotang frowned, not liking being stared at so closely, even by her lover. But she had to admit, she was somewhat used to it and didn't feel uncomfortable about it.
Noble ladies from aristocratic families need constant care from a young age, and given her circumstances, even more people followed and protected her when she grew older and left the Prime Minister's residence.
Throughout the journey, she has never lacked people to take care of her, which has saved her a lot of trouble, but at this point, it feels a bit exaggerated.
[It's basically the same thing: if you're injured, they can sense it. Just think of them as your substitutes, like Da Mei and Fan; they're all bound to you.]
【Huh? I don't understand.】
Their techniques are actually a bit unorthodox. They developed them on their own after your accident, not to monitor you, but to shield you from harm.
[What does that mean?] Fang Ruotang thought of a certain possibility.
[It means you can no longer just die whenever you want. If you get injured, the injury will have a negative impact on them, but you will be fine.]
"Oh no! They've gone mad! They're already weaker than me, what's the point of doing this?"
Fang Ruotang absolutely refused to accept this kindness.
He immediately pulled Gu Yanjin and the other four, along with Huo Zhige who was secretly learning the technique, into a group chat.
[You must stop practicing the exercises you are currently doing right now, immediately. Those exercises are not suitable for you. I will have Little Mirror find you better and more suitable exercises.]
"Why?" Gu Nancheng asked, puzzled.
According to Little Mirror, this is the cultivation method we decided to practice before we were reincarnated, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Surely no one would be so bored as to harm their own reincarnation?
Moreover, he has practiced it for so long and has not noticed any problems with it. On the contrary, he feels that this technique is not only powerful, but also very suitable for him.
Anyway, he practiced very smoothly, without any obstacles.
"Yes! Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Is something wrong?" Ye Wuxia asked gently, guessing that it might be related to their unusual behavior.
Fang Ruotang can't keep things to herself; she always speaks her mind directly.
"The martial arts you practice are a bit strange; they're actually related to me. You've only just begun, yet you can already sense something amiss with my body. Later on, you might even be able to shield me from injury. If someone attacks me, I'll be fine, but the injuries will appear on you. This is terrifying."
Fang Ruotang raised her voice, looking like she couldn't take it anymore.
But after she finished speaking, the six people on the other end remained silent; the group chat channel was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
[You were all scared too, weren't you? Just think how terrifying that is! But it's okay, we've only just started practicing this technique. We can learn another one from scratch.]
Fang Ruotang's self-righteous thoughtfulness.
We don't need any six men.
Rong Xing coughed lightly and spoke first.
"I won't change it. This technique suits me well, and I'll continue to study it."
All my past efforts were simply to catch up with Fang Ruotang.
Now that he knows he's become powerful and there's this benefit, Rong Xing is even more determined to bury himself in cultivation, not wanting to waste a single second.
【No, okay! Didn't you hear me? This technique is a bit sinister, and it's not very good for you...】
[Sixth grade.]
Rong Xing interrupted Fang Ruotang.
I'm older than you, I'm an adult, I understand my choices and the consequences they will have, and I can bear them.
Fang Ruotang paused.
I could actually hear a deep affection in those seemingly cold and indifferent words.
But I'm stronger than you; I should be the one protecting you.
Why do you feel that you didn't protect me?
Rong Xing's question stumped Fang Ruotang.
Cui Shixu clutched his chest, his face pale, but his tone was filled with a hint of amusement.
[The only drawback of the martial art we practice, in your eyes, is that when you get injured, the injury will transfer to us, right?]
【yes!】
Have you ever considered that by protecting yourself from injury, you are also protecting us?
Fang Ruotang frowned, feeling somewhat confused.
Is that so?
"That's it, you're just protecting us in a different way." Ye Wuxia chimed in.
Before Fang Ruotang could sort things out, the six men each said something that left her completely bewildered.
She asked hesitantly and without confidence.
So, this practice isn't evil; it's good?
Yes, because it has brought us closer together.
Gu Yanjin answered in this way, recalling what the little mirror had said: the ultimate reason Fang Ruotang would devote herself to the small world was that she was tired of the endless life.
She wanted to end it herself because no one could really hurt her except herself.
So this time, can they stop her from moving forward?
Although he did not regain his memories of his past life, Gu Yanjin understood at this moment why his past self had developed such a technique.
He probably wanted to rely on this meager affection to keep Fang Ruotang.
If you really can't keep her, it's better to leave before her, so that she won't keep you here again and trap you in painful memories for thousands of years.
"Oh, I see! Okay then! As long as it's not a bad thing, it's fine. I just need to take better care of myself from now on, otherwise, those sweet words will really come true."
The wound is on my body, the pain is on yours. Hahahaha.
Fang Ruotang was on a completely different wavelength from the other six, grinning smugly with her white teeth showing.
We will protect you.
The six people said similar things one after another.
Fang Ruotang, like a fool, bluntly retorted.
"You're not protecting me anymore, you're protecting yourselves. But don't worry, if I get hurt, the six of you will share the damage. I think even if I die, you..."
"Little Six!" Gu Yanjin called out sternly.
Rong Xing's cold words followed in quick succession.
Don't talk nonsense!
【Pah, pah, pah, children say the darndest things.】 Gu Nancheng’s voice was fast and urgent.
Fang Ruotang couldn't see his face at this moment, but she could imagine how he was jumping around.
Ye Wuxia and Cui Shixu were a bit gentler, and the two of them sang in harmony.
[Little Six, do you know what the phrase "a word that becomes a prophecy" means?]
Fang Ruotang nodded subconsciously, but then remembered that the other person couldn't see her, so she answered aloud.
I know what this word means.
Okay, then let's not talk about these things next time, okay?
Okay!
Fang Ruotang agreed in a daze. What outrageous thing had she said? Looking back, it was just a joke.
Do you enjoy hearing your older sister constantly talking about death?
The six people clearly knew Fang Ruotang well. Just by listening to her voice, they knew that she was completely lost, so they gave a simple example.
