If there is no one, forget it. Fan Zhiyi thought so, and when the two of them returned to the villa, they found a girl standing outside the door, and Cen Jun was greeting her.
This girl looked familiar; it was Xu Qing who had come to see Bing Nandong that day. Fan Zhiyi had managed to remember her, and he edged Bing Nandong, "She probably came here to see you..."
Before Fan Zhiyi could finish his words, Bing Nandong's cold voice interrupted him: "What's so good about me?"
This kid, why is he so angry all of a sudden? Could it be because I mentioned Cen Jun’s brother in front of him? His reaction seems weird every time Bing Nandong is mentioned. Could it be that the relationship between them is not as loving as Cen Jun said, but there is some conflict?
But this shouldn't have much to do with the mission. If he were to take care of everything, he would be exhausted to death.
At this moment, Cen Jun called out to them, "Master, Senior Brother!"
After hearing this, Xu Qing turned around, smiled at them, and bowed gracefully: "Immortal Lord." Then she looked at Bing Nandong, the smile on her lips became a little bitter, and her lips trembled as she called softly, "Senior Brother." As if she was afraid that her voice would be too loud and scare Bing Nandong.
In this touching scene of recognition, Fan Zhiyi was about to leave the stage and make room for them. However, Bing Nandong grabbed him just as he made a move and asked, "Why are you running?"
Fan Zhiyi looked over and found that Bing Nandong's face did not have the joy of recognizing his junior sister whom he had not seen for a long time, or he was even very unhappy.
Fan Zhiyi said, "Master won't run away. Master just wants to find a place to sit down first."
"Then go back."
Bing Nandong said this and was about to drag Fan Zhiyi away, but Fan Zhiyi grabbed him back and said, "At least say a few words to them."
"There's nothing much to say." Bing Nandong's voice was emotionless, and he didn't lower his voice intentionally, so Fan Zhiyi was sure that Xu Qing had heard all he said. He turned around and saw that the little girl's eyes were red, and she was almost crying. She seemed to want to come over, but she restrained herself and stood there at a loss.
Fan Zhiyi held Bing Nandong back: "What's wrong with you saying a few words? It won't hurt you."
Bing Nandong stopped and glanced at him. His gray eyes were impossible to see through.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Qing tentatively called out, "Big Brother."
"Don't call me Senior Brother from now on, and don't mention that you have met me to others." Bing Nandong said lightly, without turning to look at Xu Qing.
Hearing this, and seeing that Bing Nandong was about to leave again, Xu Qing finally couldn't help but ran over and hugged Bing Nandong from behind. It was a hug after a long separation. Xu Qing didn't understand why the senior brother who was so dazzling before had become like this now, why senior brothers Lu and Wu Bai never had the intention to look for the senior brother, why Tianyunmen spoke so vaguely about the death of senior brother and Fan Zhiyi, and even didn't reveal the location of the mission... Xu Qing couldn't figure out all these, she just wanted to find senior brother and Fan Zhiyi.
"Big Brother, please don't leave..." Xu Qing's tears fell on Bing Nandong's back. "Come back to Tianyun Sect with me. Senior Brother Lu, Wu Bai, and many others all miss you very much. They will definitely be very happy to see that Big Brother is still alive."
Hearing this, Fan Zhiyi noticed that Bing Nandong's expression changed, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.
Fan Zhiyi thought it was over, and sure enough, Bing Nandong asked next, "Who do you think invited the Immortal Venerable? I'm now the Immortal Venerable's disciple, so how could Tianyunmen not know?"
This sentence made Xu Qing freeze in place: "Why..." Why did Tianyun Sect hide the news that the eldest brother was alive.
Bing Nandong mercilessly pried off Xu Qing's fingers that were wrapped around his waist one by one: "Don't come here anymore, and don't look for me anymore. Just practice hard."
Having said this, Bing Nandong turned and left. Xu Qing was still standing there in a daze. Then, she suddenly came to her senses and shouted at Bing Nandong, "Big Brother, you once taught me not to give up easily. I will definitely find out what happened here. I won't give up!"
Hearing this, Bing Nandong turned his head slightly and looked at her out of the corner of his eye: "If you want to commit suicide, I won't stop you. Xu Qing, I'm telling you one last time, I don't know how much you know about my affairs, but please don't interfere anymore."
The three people watched Bing Nandong's figure disappear in the snow. Fan Zhiyi sighed, but he didn't say anything more about this matter.
Cen Jun went over to comfort her, "It's okay, Senior Sister. Senior Brother was even more indifferent to me at first, but our relationship has gradually improved. Senior Brother may be tough on us, but he still cares about us. Don't worry, I will investigate with you..."
Fan Zhiyi hit him on the head: "Didn't you hear what your senior brother said? You are not allowed to check."
It wasn't that Fan Zhiyi was indifferent. Bing Nandong's affairs were complicated, and perhaps involved some kind of vested interest. Once that happened, even saints and gods would become "evil." The evil of human nature was immeasurable. Even Bing Nandong himself had told them not to delve too deeply into the matter. Fan Zhiyi, a man who listened to advice, naturally had to drag the protagonist along. Even if he truly wanted to investigate, he'd have to wait until the protagonist had grown up and become unrivaled.
"But Master, if we don't figure it out, we won't know what happened to our brother, and we won't be able to find him."
Fan Zhiyi rarely spoke harshly to him, feigning anger: "No means no! Didn't you listen to Master?" Then he looked at Xu Qing and pursed his lips. "Miss Xu, I know you feel bad, but Nan Dong's words mean he's still worried about you. Let's not delve into his affairs. There are countless great ways, but cultivating and attaining the Tao is the most important."
Xu Qing saluted Fan Zhiyi but did not respond, which seemed to indicate that she did not agree with what Fan Zhiyi said.
However, for those who were not the targets of his mission, Fan Zhiyi felt that he had done his utmost by giving them a reminder, and at least he had a clear conscience.
In the next few days, Fan Zhiyi kept a close eye on the protagonist, fearing that Cen Jun would really follow Xu Qing to investigate something. Seeing that Cen Jun did not do anything out of the ordinary and was practicing sword skills step by step, he felt relieved. The day before Cen Jun left, Fan Zhiyi went to the head of the sect to explain his idea of going down the mountain with Cen Jun. Of course, he added that Bing Nandong would also go out with him.
The headmaster agreed. Fan Zhiyi thought that they would not be willing to let Bingnandong go down the mountain. Then Bingnandong stayed alone and talked to the headmaster. This time Fan Zhiyi learned his lesson and waited outside the hall until Bingnandong came out safe and sound, without a single hair missing, and then he went back to the villa with him.
