The situation is slightly awkward at this moment.
Jia Xitong looked at Bai Yuzhenjun, mentally devising how to tell him that he was the one in charge.
Bai Yu Zhenjun noticed her gaze and smiled slightly at her.
Jia Xitong reflexively nodded in greeting, then cried out in her heart—she didn't mean it that way! Senior Bai Yu, you stole my line!
The words stuck in her throat for a second, then she gave up.
Forget it, let Senior Bai Yu be the boss if he wants to. After all, Senior Bai Yu is old and experienced, and the Wuxiang Brush was given to him by him.
Everything else is just empty fame.
Jia Xitong comforted herself and then eagerly raised her hand, "Then I'll assist you, senior."
At a time like this, we cannot embarrass our host.
"Okay, it's settled then."
The two hit it off immediately and made the final decision.
All of this happened so fast, it seemed to be part of the plan, yet it also seemed completely out of the plan.
Shang Yanting's face darkened at that moment. "There's no need for so many people. Since Senior Bai Yu is here, you should come with me to find the Demonic Cultivator, the Child of Annihilation."
"It's alright."
Although I can't be the leader, I won't let my host feel wronged. Besides, Senior Bai Yu is highly respected and a good person.
"Didn't you say before that you couldn't do without me? Don't worry, I'll nip the danger of demonic cultivators in the bud."
These words left Shang Yanting speechless.
Jia Xitong really didn't give him any chance to back out, leaving him no way to save face in front of so many people.
Shang Yanting's face darkened further. "Fine, I'll send Niu Chuanchuan with you. That way, he can protect you!"
“Niu Niu has only reached the initial stage of Martial King, what is there to protect? If he comes along, I might have to protect him instead.”
Jia Xitong spoke with particular confidence in her abilities, but then she suddenly caught sight of Shang Yanting glaring at her...
"It's good that Niu Niu came; he's a great help to us."
It's never too late to change your tune.
"Okay, it's settled then."
Bai Yu Zhenjun nodded slightly, "Fellow Daoists, we will depart in half an hour."
Upon hearing this, everyone left, while Jia Xitong was pulled aside by Shang Yanting, who said, "Go to another academy and stay with Niu Chuanchuan. Don't get too close to Bai Yu Zhenjun."
Jia Xitong was taken aback when she heard this. "Isn't that unnecessary? Senior Bai Yu is getting old. How can we, as the younger generation, isolate him?"
"He's old?"
Shang Yanting countered with a question.
Was that white-haired youth, who had lost all his spiritual power, old?
"Over three hundred years old, that's quite an age. If you hadn't brought it up, I would have almost forgotten that the white-haired old man also had the image of a white-haired young man."
Jia Xitong felt that he was overthinking things. "I'm not the kind of person who gets attracted to good-looking people and then runs off with them. With my loyal and faithful character, don't you believe me?"
Really?
How did he manage to win her over in the first place?
"If I looked like Niu Chuanchuan, would you like me?"
Shang Yanting looked at her coldly, his eyes full of questioning.
Jia Xitong was taken aback by what he said, and then replaced Shang Yanting's face with Niu Chuanchuan's face...
"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Niu Niu will always be my best friend!"
Jia Xitong raised three fingers to the sky and swore, "My love for Shang Yanting is the greatest love of my life, my beloved host! Now and forever. If I ever fall in love with someone else, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."
Look how serious he is.
Normally, the man should be the one to swear an oath.
However, Shang Yanting not only didn't swear, he even made a hand gesture. He pointed a finger at Jia Xitong's brow, and a ball of golden light fell into her brow.
"What is this?" Jia Xitong asked.
"This is a spell of power. If you break your oath, you will truly be struck by lightning."
Does he really not trust her? What a heartless man.
Jia Xitong touched her forehead, completely stunned. "You cast a curse on me before that hasn't been lifted yet. Are you trying to curse me to death?"
Shang Yanting pointed his finger at her forehead and pushed her back, "I just want to curse you so you won't go around flirting with other women."
Upon hearing this, Jia Xitong couldn't help but shake her head.
Men, oh men!
##
Having only been at Holy Capital Academy for a short time, everyone was already preparing to leave.
Shang Yanting was busy tracking down the whereabouts of the Child of Annihilation and couldn't leave, while his twenty senior brothers had gone ahead to gather information about the academy's problems. Bai Yu Zhenjun was not only highly skilled in cultivation but also possessed some medical knowledge. He kindly examined all the cultivators from the Holy Capital Academy who had been possessed by demonic energy (including the culprit, Zhang Jinyang), before slowly setting off.
On the way, Jia Xitong kept sighing, which made him turn his head to look at her. "Fellow Daoist Fu, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
How could you not be upset if your sweetheart cursed you twice in a row?
"Senior Bai Yu, do you know about curses?" she asked.
Are you cursed?
Bai Yu Zhenjun looked at her with concern, "Could you tell me who cast the curse on you, when, and what? Although I am not an expert on curses, I have some knowledge of them. If it is serious, I can also help you invite a fellow Daoist who is quite knowledgeable about curses to come out of seclusion."
Bai Yu Zhenjun has a wide circle of friends.
Jia Xitong shook her head after hearing his words, "No need, I was just asking casually."
Let the host cast the curse if she wants; after all, she's the one who cares about him.
To die beneath a peony blossom is to die a romantic death!
Thinking of her host's handsome face, Jia Xitong let out a soft "slurp." After making that gesture, she suddenly froze—
