Seeing that Diao Yu's attitude was even better than she had expected, Nan Xian felt more confident and became even more convinced that this person must have been sent by heaven to help her overcome the difficulties.
She regained her composure and said, "Get up and speak. I can let you stay by my side, but you must be completely honest with me and have no ulterior motives. Can you do that?"
Diao Yu nodded vigorously. Because of his excitement, his eyes began to uncontrollably turn into the vertical pupils of a beast. Because he was worried that revealing his true form in front of Nan Xian would trigger the curse, he could only try his best to suppress it. The shape of his eyes kept changing between round and pointed, which made Nan Xian's scalp tingle and she subconsciously took half a step back.
He was startled, raised his hand to shield his eyes, and said anxiously, "Don't be afraid, I just didn't expect you to still be willing to accept me. I was too excited, and that's why... I promise I won't do it again!"
Nan Xian keenly caught the key words in his words. She pondered the word "still" in her mind and narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.
It seems that he really is an "old acquaintance", and judging from the looks of it, he and he may even be in a superior-subordinate or master-servant relationship.
"What's your name?" she asked.
Diao Yu's eyes lit up: "My name is Diao Yu. You gave me this name yourself. You said it's because I am the whitest fox you have ever seen, as beautiful as jade from Kunshan."
"A fox?" Nan Xian was surprised and muttered to herself: She seemed to have been a fox in her past life, but her fur was fiery red... Could this person be related to her?
Diao Yu seemed to have guessed her thoughts and immediately took the initiative to explain: "You are the Red Fox Lord, who is favored by the Heavenly Dao, with profound spiritual energy and endless blessings, while I am just an ordinary white fox. I was only fortunate enough to catch your eye by chance and have been learning magic from you for some years, and I have only learned a little bit."
Nan Xian suddenly realized—they were master and apprentice!
As the ancients said, "A teacher for a day is a father for life." The scenes from my past life that I dreamed of were things I had only seen in history books. And this Diao Yu must also be an ancient demon. His concept of the master-disciple relationship should be very much in line with this old saying. Although I am a woman and cannot be a father, it is not difficult to deduce my importance to Diao Yu by analogy. This further confirms his loyalty to me.
Thinking this way, she looked at Diao Yu again and found him much more pleasing to the eye.
"Why did you find me, and why are you impersonating Yu Lin?"
One sentence was enough to deflate Diao Yu's spirits again. He pouted, looking aggrieved, and embellished the story of how he was cursed.
Nan Xian was shocked: "You mean, I have another disciple who injured you and then put a curse on you, making it impossible for you to get close to me?"
Diao Yu nodded vigorously, "That's right. On the surface, he acts like a gentleman, but in reality, he is the most insidious and cunning. I could have defeated him, but during our battle, I was suddenly ambushed, which allowed him to take advantage of the situation! Oh, by the way, you must be careful. Now that I have found you, he will probably make his move as well."
"What's his name?" Nan Xian asked, following his words.
“j…” Diao Yu was about to say Yunwu’s name, but after uttering only one syllable, he suddenly felt that the curse rooted in his dantian seemed to be awakening. The poison of the curse spread rapidly to his limbs and bones like the thick roots of a tree, instantly making him break out in a cold sweat and squat down, panting heavily.
Damn it, this curse is even more troublesome than I expected!
