"I... won't lie to Master." He lowered his eyes, but the fingers on his legs curled up unconsciously.
The waiter drank the wine in the glass. With a "dap", the sound of the bottom of the glass hitting the table surface gave off an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"Leave."
Shen Xinghe suddenly looked up, "Master..."
She just drank a glass of wine and didn't touch the food and soup in front of her.
Although they were not here to eat, for some reason, Shen Xinghe always felt that she was quite happy.
But just now, she suddenly became unhappy.
Is it because...she realized that she lied to her?
Did she really just say casually that she was half human, half demon?
"I just received a message from Yoona's Linghe. They have some clues."
"Oh." Shen Xinghe stood up, "Let's go."
He glanced at the bowl of sweet soup that his master hadn't touched a single bite, and for some reason, he felt a little suffocated.
Sijiu, Shen Xinghe, Li Chengyun and others met up at the west city gate, where all the disciples were already waiting.
"This is?"
"Master," Li Chengyun said, "I've found out that the first incident of monsters injuring people occurred at Shilipu outside the city. After that, all the monsters roaming around Qingcheng also came from that place, as confirmed by many sources.
Junior Brother Du Heng and I suspect that a barrier gate may have been opened there."
"You can tell whether it is true or not by just taking a look."
Sijiu finished speaking and summoned Jingque, "Leave the city and fly the sword."
The disciples responded one after another, and without saying anything more, they all walked out of the city gate together.
Si Jiu looked towards the northwest and indeed found some strange fluctuations in the sky more than ten miles away.
But why didn’t I notice it before?
"rise."
Si Jiu made a sword gesture, and Jing Que floated into the air. Si Jiu stood on it and shouted after a moment, "Xing'er..."
Shen Xinghe's eyes lit up and he obediently jumped onto his master's Jingque sword.
Afterwards, everyone sent out their own spiritual swords and flew up on their swords.
Suddenly, more than ten figures flew towards the northwest like stray arrows.
It’s more than ten miles away, and you can reach the destination in just a few blinks of an eye by flying on a sword.
So everyone soon realized something was wrong.
"How come it feels so far away even after flying for so long?"
Shen Xinghe's voice rang right next to Si Jiu's ears. She didn't know when he got so close to her. If it weren't for his two hands being so still, he would have been holding Si Jiu in his arms.
The warm breath fell behind Sijiu's ear, making her scalp numb.
The ear is a sensitive point for the wine steward.
Fucking brat.
Si Jiu felt a little itchy, and quietly took half a step forward, trying to put some distance between them.
The result was that the person behind him immediately came up again, "Master? Can you please stop moving? I'm a little scared."
"...What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid I'll fall."
He looked pitiful, his mouth still close to Sijiu's ear.
I think you want to be kicked down by me.
"I'm really afraid of falling, otherwise, Master, can I catch you?"
Si Jiu sneered, and then the Jingque under his feet suddenly changed, becoming wider and longer. Not to mention standing, even sitting on it would be very stable.
Shen Xinghe: "...Master is so amazing, he can actually grow this big."
"Try speaking into my ear again."
Shen Xinghe: “…”
Li Chengyun, who was following closely behind them, gritted his teeth.
Du Heng, who was standing beside him, was rather tactless and said, "Senior Brother Li, does Jade Mirror Yuanjun dote on your junior brother so much? He always takes him with him wherever he goes. But I heard that this junior brother used to be very naughty, always contradicting Master, which always made Jade Mirror Yuanjun very angry."
This is of course a rumor, and it was spread by Ning Qingmeng himself.
Otherwise, what reason could she have to punish Shen Xinghe without ruining her own reputation?
"Now it seems that I was too credulous in believing the rumors. Junior Brother Shen must be well-behaved and considerate, so Yujing Yuanjun doted on him so much."
Li Chengyun: "..."
