What is the one-character name (9)
Who supports someone by the waist? Li Zhaoyue didn't believe him, but because he was holding her, she couldn't make any extra resistance. She could only stare at him, trying to make Xu Xing realize his mistake and let go.
But in Xu Xing's eyes, such an action was a blatant seduction.
Li Zhaoyue's eyes were big, bright, and round, and all her worries were written in them. She could see through him at a glance, but she was so captivating that she kept wanting to see more.
For example, now, Xu Xing could see from her eyes that she was determined to win, and also a little bit of panic.
What are you afraid of? Xu Xing picked up her long hair at her shoulders, curled it, and thought to himself.
Seeing that his eye threat was useless, Li Zhaoyue suddenly had an idea and came up with a new trick.
"Oh my! Why are there bugs?" she suddenly yelled, hoping to force Xu Xing to retreat by suddenly moving closer, and then quickly escape. Unexpectedly, Xu Xing didn't retreat as she expected, but instead remained motionless. Li Zhaoyue cursed inwardly, and was about to bump into Xu Xing's lips.
At this moment, Xu Xing tilted his head slightly, and her lips brushed against his cheek. Then Li Zhaoyue felt her waist loosen, and she fell back into the chair.
The atmosphere in the room was frozen for a moment.
Xu Xing lowered his head, his ears slightly red, and silently put something on her wrist. Li Zhaoyue looked down and found it was the lost bracelet.
"I knew she wasn't you, so I asked for the bracelet back. Don't worry about losing it," he said softly.
Li Zhaoyue raised his head, his pupils trembling slightly.
She suddenly remembered that yesterday, Xu Xing had been calling Lou Yao "Senior Sister" all the time. Moreover, thinking carefully, it seemed that he had not made any particularly intimate gestures towards Lou Yao. Instead, he had been...
Her face flushed and she coughed lightly: "Xu Xing..."
Before he could finish, his mouth was covered.
"What should Ayue call me?" Xu Xing asked her deliberately with a smile.
Li Zhaoyue turned her head away in shame and anger, not wanting to speak.
Seeing that she didn't scream, Xu Xing just held her with his hands, trapping her between himself and the chair, so that her whole body was filled with his scent, and she couldn't escape no matter how hard she tried.
Li Zhaoyue sniffed hard, and all she could smell was the faint scent of tea leaves on Xu Xing's body. She stomped her feet angrily and tried to step on him, but not only did she miss, she was also hit on the head.
"Ah!" She covered her head and screamed, then banged her head against Xu Xing's chest. Xu Xing didn't expect her to hit him with her head, so he subconsciously let go. Li Zhaoyue made a proud gesture to him, then quickly ran to the door and said with a smile: "Now you can't trap me. As long as you come over, I can go out."
Xu Xing saw her like this, and she looked so dazzling. He lowered his eyes, smiled, and pointed at the bracelet on her wrist and said, "Don't lose it again next time."
Li Zhaoyue shook his head proudly and said, "Of course."
After saying that, she stretched out her hand, shook the bracelet, and smiled brightly.
Xu Xing also laughed.
The two looked at each other and both burst out laughing.
"Okay, since you said we want to change our name, I will call you Ah Xu." Li Zhaoyue said.
Xu Xing looked at her, looked at her transparent hair in the sunlight, and nodded.
"Oh, yes, what courses has the Feng Shui Institute been offering recently? I hope my compass is not lost..." Before he could finish his words, Li Zhaoyue felt a push from behind.
She staggered due to the force, and then a familiar figure walked in.
It was Xie Feng. He had a serious expression and was on high alert, but when he saw Li Zhaoyue, his icy demeanor melted immediately.
"Ayue, why are you here..." Before he could finish his words, Xu Xing walked out from behind Li Zhaoyue and asked with a smile, "Is Lou Yao's body missing?"
"How do you know?" Xie Feng became alert and wanted to pull Li Zhaoyue behind him to protect her, but found that she subconsciously hid behind Xu Xing.
His eyes slowly dimmed.
Xu Xing also sensed Li Zhaoyue's subtle change and felt more positive. He continued, "Ayue's body was taken away by Lou Yao, and she was only returned today. Didn't Senior Brother Xie notice?"
Xie Feng had a vague feeling that something was amiss with Li Zhaoyue these past few days, but he had important matters to attend to, so he didn't dwell on it. He had only just realized something was amiss when Lou Yao's body disappeared, and when the man in black had recently spread the evil soul-swapping technique. He had reported it to Zhu Ming and hurried over.
I didn't expect that I was still a step too late.
"I..." His throat was dry and he couldn't say anything. Li Zhaoyue glared at Xu Xing, walked out from behind him, looked at Xie Feng gently, and said, "It's not a big deal. I'm back safely, right?"
Xie Feng looked at the smile on her face, which was still so familiar, but his heart gradually grew cold.
This was completely different. If they were just friends, it wouldn't matter. But he had different feelings for her, and those feelings couldn't be delayed.
Xie Feng clenched his fists and turned abruptly, seemingly about to leave. Li Zhaoyue had never seen him like this before, and hurriedly followed him, grabbing his sleeve and asking in confusion, "Ah Feng?"
"I remembered I had something else to do, so I'll leave first." Xie Feng said hoarsely, suppressing the bitterness in his throat. Then, no matter how Li Zhaoyue called out, he didn't turn back.
It’s too late.
Xie Feng walked along the path, the shadows of the trees drifting over his head and finally under his feet. In fact, he had always known that Li Zhaoyue had not developed any extra feelings for him over the years, which meant that they could not be together.
When Li Zhaoyue finds someone he likes, he can only hide this feeling deep in his heart, let it be buried in the ground forever, never to see the light of day.
But this moment came too quickly.
He looked up at the sky, and the more he looked, the more blurry his vision became.
Suddenly, a figure flashed through the bushes. Xie Feng immediately calmed down and looked around cautiously. There was a moment of silence. Just as he was about to continue walking forward, a muffled groan suddenly came from the bushes.
The Meteor Sword was immediately unsheathed, and the sword light illuminated the face of the person behind the bushes. Xie Feng's face changed, and he hurriedly dragged the person out of the bushes.

Mingguang Hall
A blood-red picture was painted on the dark stone floor. Zhu Ming stood in the center of the formation, gently stretched out her hands, and dark red flames danced in her palms.
Feng Ran stood aside, holding the Duan Nian Sword in his arms, already unsheathed.
"I have already informed Ye Luan and the others, and they will be here in a moment. The situation on the floating island is too dangerous now, so I'm afraid the plan needs to be advanced." Feng Ran said.
Zhu Ming looked at the flame in his palm and said calmly, "He's coming. I can feel it."
Feng Ran knew she was talking about Wei Zhegu, and her expression paused before she said, "Even if he comes, it won't change anything. All this is the result of his actions. We are just trying to remedy the situation."
Zhu Ming closed his palm, watched the flame slowly disappear in his hand, and said softly, "I hope so."
Just as he finished speaking, Ye Luan's shout was heard from outside the hall. Zhu Ming moved his right hand slightly, and the formation was quickly hidden. The Mingguang Hall returned to its bright state.
Ye Luan walked in with Buxudong, and hesitated when he was about to reach Feng Ran.
"Why can I sense the breath of a spiritual person? What happened here?" Ye Luan asked.
"I'm afraid your eyesight has been blurring lately, and this is just an illusion." Hua Shangguan scoffed as he walked behind, flipping through the seal book. The Floating Island had recently seen a number of incidents of soul-stealing by men in black, and these two had come into conflict within their respective jurisdictions.
Ye Luan was impatient and blunt in his words, while Hua Shangguan was a narrow-minded person. This back-and-forth led to a quarrel between the two. Furthermore, Ye Luan's puppetry had previously broken Hua Shangguan's seal at the Lou residence, and Hua Shangguan already harbored resentment towards him, and now he was too lazy to even pretend.
Hearing this, Ye Luan sneered and shouted, "Isn't it just that I tore your lousy book? Is it necessary to be so sarcastic? Aren't people who practice immortality supposed to be more generous? Why are you becoming more stingy as you practice?"
Huashangguan disliked his rustic behavior very much, rolled his eyes at him, and stood aside.
"There have been many troubles on the Floating Island recently, all caused by that strange man in black. I guess Zhu Jianxian wanted to discuss this matter with us?" he asked.
Zhu Ming nodded. At this time, another person walked into the hall. It was Wang Kun.
He was obviously a little frightened, especially when he saw Ye Luan and Hua Shangguan.
"What does this mean? I remember this kid is the idiot from the Wang family? Didn't he say that he has always been obsessed with swordsmanship but ended up in the Feng Shui Academy by accident?" Ye Luan said.
After he finished speaking, Wang Kun's expression suddenly turned grim. He raised his eyes nervously and found Feng Ran looking at him tenderly. A heavy weight in his heart slowly fell.
God knows why he was summoned to the Mingguang Palace, and why he suddenly met so many important figures. That thing hanging on Ye Luan's shoulder is the legendary artifact that can control people's minds and hearts, right? And the book in Hua Shangguan's hand, is it the legendary talisman book containing countless exquisite talismans?
He had just come out of the Fengshui Academy today when he was told to go to the Minguang Hall. The disciple who called him was very serious. He was timid to begin with, and he thought he had made a big mistake, and he was very nervous. Ye Luan's words just now almost scared him to death.
"Don't be afraid, I asked you here just to ask you for a favor." Zhu Ming looked at him and said.
Help? Wang Kun was stunned. He was just an ordinary disciple. What did Zhu Jianxian need his help with? But he nodded.
"I heard that you are very good at Feng Shui?" she asked.
Wang Kun scratched his head and said modestly, "It's not bad, but it can't be considered very accurate. It's still good to know the weather forecast normally."
"Precognition?" Hua Shangguan keenly caught the hint in his words and frowned at him. His eyes were sharp, and Wang Kun swallowed and stammered, "Yeah... just checking the weather or something."
When will the exam be held? He thought quietly to himself.
"I have never heard of the ability of prediction in Feng Shui." Hua Shangguan opened the sealed book and said slowly.
Wang Kun was about to explain when a strange force suddenly took control of him, and the words that were still in his mind, whether he wanted to say them or not, all rushed to his mouth.
"I learned Feng Shui by reading books on my own. Many of the Feng Shui academy elders didn't understand it themselves, and what they taught was always wrong. I learned it randomly on my own, and suddenly one day I had the ability to predict the weather, but it was very weak, and I could only roughly understand the changes in the weather."
"I like swordsmanship very much, but I have never had the talent. So I came to Feng Shui Academy out of spite, hoping to make a name for myself. In fact, I always pretend not to learn during the day because I will secretly learn at night. It feels so good to become stronger quietly. Every time I see Lou Guan's shocked eyes, I feel very proud." When he said this, Wang Kun's expression became terrified, because he saw Lou Guan and Xu Xingxing walking in, as well as Li Zhaoyue.
"Senior Brother Wang Kun!" She started to greet him as soon as she saw him.
Wang Kun was in great pain, but he couldn't shut up even if he tried his best.
"Junior Sister Li has been acting strangely these past few days. She gets angry even when I'm joking with her, and her schoolwork has improved a lot too. She's like a completely different person."
"Why has Xu Xing been absent from class lately? Does he think he's so impressive because he got first place in the exam that he doesn't need to attend class?"
