"I don't know. I went to his post today and only saw Qin Tianzhu."
On the city wall.
Ye Rugo held the snack bag in her small hands, gazing wistfully at the area outside Tianmen Pass.
Above the desert, where sandstorms rage, lies a vast expanse of black fog.
This is a sign that the demon army is gathering.
Many veteran demon hunters speculate that this "Winter Demon Tide" is likely to arrive earlier than expected.
Most of the demon hunters who were out hunting noticed the abnormality and rushed back to Tianmen Pass.
But Su Bai was not among them.
"If he doesn't come soon, we might not be able to find a good place to assign responsibilities for this 'Winter Demon Tide'."
Shui Shui, who was next to Ye Rugo, frowned.
Each "Winter Demon Tide" involves dividing the garrison areas based on strength.
But whether they are powerful demon slayers or ordinary people, everyone has the opportunity to choose.
Given Su Bai's reputation at Tianmen Pass at this time, he would definitely be assigned to one of the top fifteen regions.
But since the other person wasn't there, there was no choice but to take what others had left over.
In a place like Tianmen Pass, where one walks on the edge of a knife, even a fool would know that the further back in the garrison area one goes, the greater the chance of survival.
Moreover, this "Winter Demon Tide" saw the demon race launch a massive attack, an unprecedentedly terrifying force. One can imagine the difficulty of defending the front lines.
Many monster-hunting teams and groups have already determined the selection area.
According to the intelligence Shui Shui obtained, even the Yama Squad, which ranked first among the demon-hunting teams, did not include the top three garrison areas in its selection range.
If Su Bai doesn't come, they might end up guarding the top three districts in the north and south!
"This guy is really worrying. The Netherworld Squad hasn't returned either. Could he... No, Su Bai won't die. I believe in him!"
A resolute look appeared in Ye Rugo's eyes.
"You really trust him that much?" Shui Shui asked, somewhat surprised.
"I don't know. I just feel that he is different from ordinary people. It's like I can trust him unconditionally."
Ye Rugo's eyes trembled slightly.
She had never felt this way about anyone before, not even her parents or her clansmen.
Because her talent wasn't some B-grade talent, but rather an S-grade talent known as the Heavenly Dao, which is notoriously envied by the heavens!
With this talent, her cultivation speed is very fast. As long as she senses a bottleneck, she can break through it with a thought, as if the heavens are helping her.
The only drawback is that it is ruthless, meaning it is calm and unfettered by worldly emotions.
But ever since she met Su Bai, she has inexplicably developed feelings for this boy.
Even though he ignored her, she would still think of him from time to time.
During her first mission, although Xie Changkong said that Su Bai had returned, she knew that Su Bai was still there, facing life-or-death danger.
At that time, for some reason, she just wanted to wait for him regardless of everything, as if she were possessed.
Deep down, she sensed that it was her talent influencing her.
Heaven decreed that she must protect him and risk her life to save him!
It's as if, to the Heavenly Dao, he is more important than anything else in this world!
Moreover, she discovered that only when she was with Su Bai did her emotions soften.
This was true when Xie Changkong sacrificed himself, and it was also true when Su Bai smoked.
Despite never showing any emotional weakness, she laughed, cried, and shed tears in just over a month.
"Yeah?"
Shui Shui gave him a meaningful look.
"However, Tianmen Pass isn't really a suitable place for dating."
Ye Rugo: "..."
"Of course, as your best friend, to celebrate your relationship, you should treat me to some snacks first."
Upon hearing this, Ye Rugo quickly withdrew her hand and hid the snack bag behind her back.
This is the last... half a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips.
She wanted to save it for Su Bai!
"mean!"
Shui Shui scoffed, put her hands on her hips, and was about to say something when her expression suddenly turned serious.
