Ji Yun smiled at Xing Yuanyuan's teasing.
"Okay, are you going to introduce yourself?"
"She's my best friend, you know!"
Xing Yuanyuan nudged Lin Xiaoyu.
"Are you trying to kill me?!" Lin Xiaoyu's ears turned red instantly. She slapped Xing Yuanyuan and then pulled her forward quickly.
Qin Nanzi nudged Ji Yun with her elbow.
"I think Lin Xiaoyu is pretty good too, why don't you give her a try, Brother Yun?"
"Are you stupid? Office romances are so awkward. If you break up and then see each other again, it'll be so embarrassing. If you can't handle it, you'll have to quit. Aren't you annoyed?"
"Then let's not split it."
"Do you think you're the matchmaker? You think you can just say you won't break up and then expect me to? Can you really be sure about things like relationships?"
Ji Yun looked at Qin Nanzi with disdain. How did this guy even have a girlfriend?
Perhaps only a simple person like that, when encountering another simple person, would react this way.
He patted Qin Nanzi on the shoulder: "Cherish it."
"?" Qin Nanzi was completely bewildered, sensing that Ji Yun's words had a hidden meaning.
Ji Yun was eating while lost in thought. He took out his phone and checked it; the author hadn't updated yet today.
"Boss Ji Yun, did you hear what I just said?" Xing Yuanyuan brought it up again, seemingly eager to help her best friend find a boyfriend.
Lin Xiaoyu pinched Xing Yuanyuan under the table.
Ji Yun snapped out of her daze and glanced at Lin Xiaoyu. She saw that Lin Xiaoyu's cheeks were flushed and she was eating her food with her head down, as if she hadn't heard Xing Yuanyuan's words.
I'll be a dog if I ever date again!
"..." Qin Nanzi was surprised.
Xing Yuanyuan said with a serious expression, "Looks like you're hurt pretty badly. So when are you going to turn into a dog?"
"Pfft!" Ji Yun spat out the food in his mouth: "Cough cough cough!"
He immediately picked up the soup and drank several large mouthfuls before he felt better. What was wrong with this woman?
"Goose, goose, goose, goose..." Xing Yuanyuan kept laughing.
Lin Xiaoyu pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh, and lowered her head, pretending to eat. Only Qin Nanzi was still comforting her brother.
"Brother Yun, aren't you being too happy? There's no need. We've known each other for so long, we've all worked together, you..."
"Shut up!" Ji Yun glared at the incessantly chattering Qin Nanzi.
After returning to the office, I took a nap. When I got up again, I really had to work hard this time, otherwise I would be scolded to death if I fell behind.
Before I knew it, it was evening. Time flies when you're focused on working. After a department meeting, it was time to go home.
......
......
A tipsy Ji Yun returned to his room. He had drunk too much today and lay stiffly on the bed. His mouth was dry from drinking too much liquor.
After taking a shower, I sobered up a bit and picked up my phone to check the screen.
finally!
The author updated the page, and he quickly started reading.
"Trouble? No way! I won't allow it."
"Damn! Where did it go? This author's posts are so short and weak, I have to urge them to update more."
Ji Yun immediately gave a reward and posted a commentary.
"Just one more chapter, please! I can't take it anymore. Please, brother, I feel like ants are crawling all over me, I'm shaking so badly, I can't breathe. Please, brother, just one more chapter, just one more, I promise I'll never touch this again, please, brother, really, just one chapter. I swear I'll never touch this stuff again, I just can't take it anymore, I'm tossing and turning and can't sleep, brother, I'm begging you!"
......
......
At this moment, Yuexi was in her boudoir, and had not heard the demon's voice for a whole day.
Finally, unable to resist any longer, he probed his sea of consciousness with his divine sense and found that the demon was no longer there.
"Has that devil left? Phew...at least I'm not being threatened anymore."
Yuexi finally relaxed after a long day of tension. After returning, she couldn't concentrate on her cultivation at all, and she didn't dare to tell her master. Afterwards, she realized that the demon was really too terrifying. She couldn't detect when he attacked, and she didn't even notice when he left.
"Knock knock knock!" A knocking sound rang out on the door.
Yuexi composed herself and ran to open the door; she already knew that her master had arrived.
"Master!" Yuexi hugged her master tightly.
“You child, I noticed something was off about you when you came back. Talk to your master about what’s wrong.”
Zuo Xintao gently stroked Yuexi's head, comforting her beloved disciple.
"Waaah... Master, I thought I would never see you again."
Yuexi buried her head in her master's body and cried. She thought that the demon would use her to do something, and she was already prepared to die rather than submit.
Zuo Xintao asked with some concern, "Yuexi, tell your master what happened? Did something happen when you went to Dark Spirit Valley? It's alright, your master is here."
"Waaah...it was just what your disciple thought was going to..."
"Ahem... watch your mouth."
shock!
I originally wanted to tell my master everything, but then I heard the demon's voice echoing in my mind.
She panicked so much that her legs went weak and she almost slipped off Zuo Xintao.
Zuo Xintao quickly helped her up, then grabbed her hand and examined it for a while, but couldn't see anything.
"Yuexi? What's wrong? Don't scare your master."
"I...I'm fine. I was just too impatient during my cultivation, and my mind was unstable."
Yuexi quickly stood up straight and ran to hold her master's hand, as if that would give her a little sense of security.
Zuo Xintao looked at her disciple carefully: "I have just examined your body carefully and there is nothing seriously wrong. Tell me honestly, what is it that you are hiding from me?"
Even the master couldn't detect the demon within his own consciousness? That's terrifying.
"N-nothing..." Yuexi's eyes darted away.
"Speak!" Zuo Xintao looked at her seriously, then seemed to understand something: "Did your senior brother Lin Shengwen do something to wrong you? Don't be afraid, your master will stand up for you!"
"It's not my senior brother's fault, it's... it's that I feel my cultivation is too slow and I can't keep up with everyone."
Zuo Xintao stopped talking and looked carefully at her disciple, trying to confirm whether what she said was true.
Then Yuexi continued to pull her master along: "I'm sorry, Master, I'm too stupid and have embarrassed you. It's taken me so long to break through to the Golden Core Realm."
"Sigh, I was worried that something had happened to you and you wouldn't tell your teacher. You are already very talented, so you don't need to care about other people's opinions. Just focus on your cultivation."
Zuo Xintao thought that someone inside the sect was talking about something, which made her disciple's mind unsettled.
My own disciple shouldn't be that fragile inside.
After offering a few words of comfort, he prepared to go and discuss the sect competition with several sect elders.
