4 I've heard of your name for a long time
Hua Lang pretended to be calm, but he was actually very nervous.
Why was Xie Hanjing staring at her? He couldn't be here to ask him for medical expenses, right? Thinking of this, Hua Lang looked away guiltily.
Then she thought again, that wasn't right. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why should she feel guilty? Besides, it was late at night, and her senior sister might be deceiving her again. She wasn't even looking at her.
Ming Jinshu seemed to see through Hua Lang's thoughts and said happily:
"Junior sister, if you don't want to go and take a look, can I go for you?"
"No, no, that's not necessary, Senior Sister!" Hua Lang was horrified. "Maybe he thought the scenery here was so beautiful and wanted to stand and enjoy it. Senior Sister has so many things to do, why bother with a little disciple?"
Ming Jinshu looked at the pitch-black sky outside the formation, which was devoid of any scenery... and then nodded in agreement.
"I think what you said makes sense, Junior Sister. This place is neither inner nor outer. We have no right to interfere if others want to stand here."
Before Hua Lang could breathe a sigh of relief, he continued,
"Junior sister has also learned to understand senior sister. Senior sister is really touched. Come," Ming Jinshu pushed a pile of spiritual notes and said with a smile, "help senior sister share some of the burden."
Hua Lang: ...
In this way, Hua Lang processed the spiritual paper, while Ming Jinshu instructed the disciples of Huatang Peak to repair the formation, and they were busy until late at night.
The medical practitioners had already taken the injured back to the clinic, the formation was repaired, and the disciples of Huatang Peak also left one after another. The stage was a little deserted for a while, and Jumo Mountain returned to the loneliness of only the raging wind and snow.
The night was even colder than the day. Although Hua Lang knew that the Sky Fox bloodline was not afraid of the cold, he still couldn't understand why Xie Hanjing was standing in the corner.
Now there are only a few of them left. In order to watch the fun, the senior sister will definitely pull herself in front of Xie Hanjing.
Thinking of his senior sister's mouth that turned everything black and white into yellow, Hua Lang felt a little desperate.
As if he heard Hua Lang's inner prayer, when even the last disciple of Huatang Peak left, Xie Hanjing finally moved.
With the faint light of the formation, Hua Lang watched him turn and leave, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the night.
Finally left!
Ming Jinshu finished the chores at hand, and her neatly tied hair was unknowingly messed up by her.
Looking at Hua Lang's hair pinned up, he couldn't help but stretch out his sinful hand.
"Junior sister, it must be boring staying in Qijing Peak. Come back to Huatang Peak with me tonight." After ruffling Hua Lang's hair, Ming Jinshu invited enthusiastically.
"No, it's quite fun to be with Master. Besides, Master will teach me some skills tomorrow morning."
Hua Lang covered her hair.
Ming Jinshu disagreed, "Don't lie to your senior sister. Master, that old drunkard, has never gotten up early. Senior sister knows all kinds of skills. What do you want to learn, little junior sister? Why don't you let me teach you."
Hua Lang insisted, "No, Huatang Peak is too far from the outer gate."
Ming Jinshu understood, looked at Hua Lang deeply, and shook his head, "Junior sister, you are really obsessed with sex now." Then, he sighed and strode away.
Hua Lang: What is this lustful obsession?
She just wanted to catch up with the cafeteria when it opened for dinner.
Everyone in the inner sect of Qinglai practiced fasting, and there was no cafeteria. Huatang Peak was the farthest from the outer sect cafeteria. Although Hualang could also practice fasting, he simply couldn't resist the pleasure of taste buds, so he waited for mealtime every day to rush to the outer sect to eat.
If I stay at Huatang Peak tonight, I will definitely miss breakfast tomorrow.
Speaking of breakfast, what should I eat tomorrow morning?
Hua Lang stood up with messy hair, and quickly thought of several breakfast options in the cafeteria, but then quickly rejected them.
How come you’re already tired of the food after only seven days?
Hua Lang was having trouble choosing food when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint light passing by.
"What?"
Hua Lang turned his head cautiously and saw a flash of silver light, which was exactly where Xie Hanjing had stood before.
When I walked over and took a look, I found that it was a familiar piece of golden cloth, with silver hair-thin embroidery threads on the cloth reflecting the light.
Although the school uniforms taught by the headmaster are all made of platinum phantom brocade, the embroidery patterns for each person are different, all inheriting the patterns of their predecessors. Hua Lang and the master's aunt are both from the Solitary Bamboo family, and the half of a bamboo joint is embroidered on the corner of the clothes.
Hua Lang leaned over and prepared to pick it up. After all, it could be made into a good piece of clothing after mending it.
Then I saw——
This piece of clothing corner moved to the side.
Hua Lang:?
What the hell!?
Her scalp tingled and she subconsciously took a few steps back.
If I had known earlier, I would have gone with my senior sister!
Although she knew that this was a world of immortal cultivation, she was not really prepared for hauntings!
After a while, seeing no movement, Hua Lang plucked up his courage and used his spiritual energy to lift the cloth. As the shadow of the corner of the clothes left, a furry black ball popped out, and the fluffy black hair was instantly blown into oblique straight lines by the spiritual energy.
...It's the shadow monster I saw during the day, how come it's here?
Hua Lang pinched the shadow demon with two fingers and brought it to the level of his eye.
Then poked.
Well, solid.
Xie Hanjing doesn't want you anymore?
"001, what's going on?"
001 was forced to turn on the computer and yawned in confusion.
I don’t know who taught him this systematic health-preserving theory, but he goes to bed before 11:00 every day, even earlier than Hua Lang.
[What, what's wrong? Let me see...]
[Shadow Demon?! How did it get into your hands?!] 001 instantly woke up, eyes wide open.
"Xie Han was shocked and left here."
[This is the demon pet that accompanied him deep into the Woodless Forest in the original novel to obtain Kan Tiankan. Are you saying that he just gave it up like that?]
"Maybe?" Hua Lang was not sure.
Shadow monsters have no attack power and are rare in number. They usually hide in various shadows and grow mushrooms. Most monks don't bother to pay attention to this kind of small monster that can't transform. However, some big monsters and demons like to raise it as a pet.
But this shadow monster was different. In Xie Hanjing's hands, it was fed with essence and blood every day, and finally it even had the ability to devour monsters. Xie Hanjing gained a lot of opportunities in the later period by relying on this unexpected move.
And now, this chance demon pet was thrown alone in the cold wind.
[No matter what the reason, host, you must return the shadow demon to him, otherwise the later plot will be messed up! ]
"Okay, then I'll throw it into his room when I go to the outer gate tomorrow."
Hua Lang let go of his hand, and the shadow demon floated in the air, its long hair swaying, and moved to Hua Lang's chest, consciously clinging tightly to his collar.
Hua Lang slowly returned to the bedroom, petting the furry shadow demon and said confidently, "Let it sleep with me tonight."
…
"I've been sleeping for almost ten hours now. Is there anything wrong with Junior Master Uncle?"
"Could it be that Junior Master and the Sect Leader drank together last night? Didn't the Sect Leader get up too?"
"When has the headmaster ever gotten up early?" the female voice was still filled with worry. "The cafeteria will be closing in a moment, and Junior Master has never been absent before."
Hua Lang frowned, and in his half-awake state he caught the word "canteen" that was deliberately suppressed, and struggled to open his eyes.
The cafeteria is open for dinner? Why didn't her roommate call her?
Sitting up in a daze, Hua Lang felt as if all the bones in his body were being removed and put back in again, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Is breakfast here yet?"
Hua Lang subconsciously asked his roommate, and when he saw the closed pale white bed curtains, he realized belatedly that he had now traveled through a book.
"Hey, I think I heard Junior Master's voice," footsteps were heard outside the hall, "Junior Master, are you awake?"
Hua Lang responded weakly and asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's almost the 11am."
"At the hour of Xu!?"
Hua Lang woke up completely. He hurriedly put on his coat, leaned over the desk, and looked out the window.
The sky outside the window was dim. Two young disciples were holding lanterns. The warm yellow candlelight attracted sporadic moths. The sound of flapping wings came from the distance. Several white cranes were slowly preening their wings.
This group of white cranes would eat fish in the cold stream of Qingzhu Peak during the day and would fly back to Qijing Peak in the evening. Hua Lang would usually run into them on his way back after dinner.
So, she...slept until this hour! ?
Hua Lang washed up quickly and hurried to the outer door. When he pushed open the door in the moonlight, his heart skipped a beat.
really--
The cafeteria is closed.
Under the moonlight, the cafeteria was no longer bustling with activity during the day. Only Hua Lang remained in the silent hall. He peered through the crack in the door and saw that the enclosing formation remained motionless. It was extremely complex and vast, and even with the help of his head craned his neck, he could only glimpse a small part.
?
Is it necessary to set up such a complicated formation in the cafeteria?
My plan to steal dinner was a complete failure. I miss takeout in the 21st century.
Hua Lang's expression was distorted, and he wished he could finish the main storyline right away and go home.
Just as he was feeling indignant, a ball of fluff brushed against his chin, and a black ball popped out from his flowery collar and landed lightly on the ground.
After a lot of trouble yesterday, Hua Lang successfully found the two black eyeballs as big as green beans hidden under the fur. After her unique artistic trimming, she can finally tell the front and back of the shadow monster.
"Wait, Coal Ball, where are you going?!"
The black ball seemed to have discovered something and floated away decisively. It moved close to the ground covered with short and dry weeds, and occasionally shuttled through the shadows, so fast that Hua Lang could hardly catch up.
Fortunately, his body was still soaked in Hua Lang's spiritual energy, like a long dog leash, so that Hua Lang would not lose its track.
Hua Lang followed the trail of spiritual energy and it was so tiring that he had no time to think about his dinner.
Accompanied all the way by 001's screams of "Why don't you hold the rope tightly when you're running away?", Hua Lang finally caught up with Coal Ball after climbing to some hilltop.
Hua Lang picked up the coal briquettes and was about to criticize and educate them when he heard an extremely harsh and greasy male voice.
"Yo, you're asking me to get lost? Do you know who I am?"
"You little brat, even if you have the best aptitude, it will take you half a year to take the inner sect exam. Ask around and see which new disciple during this period has to rely on me for support. Not to mention, you might not even be able to enter the outer sect. Don't be so arrogant!"
Hua Lang was forced to eavesdrop on something behind the wall. It seemed like... they were forcibly abducting a woman?
What a classic scene! Hua Lang immediately imagined a scene where a blind man was heartbroken, a weak woman shed tears, and the protagonist Aotian made a brilliant appearance.
A cold voice sounded from within the wall. This person did not seem to be angered at all. His tone was extremely calm, but the content was not very polite.
"Again, get out of the way. You're in my way."
"Pfft, cough cough cough." Hua Lang covered her mouth. A man?
...Is there something wrong with this script?
"Who's out there, dares to eavesdrop on me?"
Hua Lang was shocked and wanted to hide in a corner. There was nothing more embarrassing than being caught eavesdropping. How could she, the junior master, listen to such robbery here?
Hua Lang had spiritual energy on him, so he would not be discovered if he escaped by taking the main road. When he was about to mobilize the spiritual energy, Meiguo, who was still without a rope in his hand, moved at lightning speed and took advantage of the dark shadows under the moonlight to get into the corner of the wall that Hua Lang had always wanted to get into and entered the yard.
Hua Lang: ...
She gritted her teeth and slowly stepped into the yard under 001's accusations. Hua Lang pretended to be righteous and shouted:
"Let him go!"
Although there was no trace of guilt on her face about eavesdropping, when she saw the two people in the yard, she cried for help in her heart!
Who is this? Isn’t this the male lead?!
You're just a cannon fodder, teasing the hero, are you kidding me?!
And the male lead, if you don’t want to beat the cannon fodder to a pulp, what are you doing standing here holding a quilt and pillow!
In the courtyard illuminated by the melting lamp, Xie Hanjing held a pillow in his left hand and a thin quilt in his right hand. Although his face was cold, the icy alienation he felt when they first met had faded a lot. He was holding the five-piece bedding set of the small pink flower series distributed by Qinglai with difficulty, and at this moment he showed a rare sense of youthful fragility.
The other man was thin, but compared to Xie Hanjing, who was carrying a lot of things, his figure was slightly wretched. The moment he saw Hua Lang, his expression changed from astonishment to greasy.
Hua Lang noticed a black birthmark on his neck that was the size of a baby's fist, and his lustful appearance... This man was actually the cannon fodder who bullied Yan Rong in the later part of the original book!
Pan Yu stared at Hua Lang's face with greedy eyes. If he had known there was such a beautiful woman among the new disciples, he would never have followed this man. Tonight, he was determined to capture this beauty.
Hua Lang saw Pan Yu's expression and looked down again. She immediately understood what she had understood because she had just picked up a green pleated skirt and put it on today.
This old pervert treated her as his new disciple.
Sure enough, Pan Yu, who thought he was dashing, actually smiled in a vulgar way, revealing eight yellow teeth in total, four on each side.
"This junior sister must have misunderstood something. I am Pan Yu, the third-ranked disciple of the outer sect. You can also call me Senior Brother Pan. I just wanted to give this junior brother some guidance."
He couldn't wait to continue, "It's getting dark, and the outer sect has been uneasy lately. Where does Junior Sister live? Why don't you let me take her there?"
"flutter--"
Xie Han was so shocked that his bedding fell to the ground. His face turned pale, and it seemed that he had reached the limit of his patience.
At this moment, Xie Hanjing looked like he was ready to attack and beat Pan Yu up at any time.
The hero-saving-the-beauty script is finally back on track, which is great...but bullshit!
Any woman rescued by the male protagonist, as long as she is not young or old, will be automatically included in the male protagonist's harem. From then on, she will have to follow the male protagonist and have no food to eat, and may be killed at any time by the plot.
Hua Lang's alarm bells rang loudly, and he vowed to never be the "Mei" in "The Beauty Who Saves Beauty".
So, Hua Lang turned around and walked towards Pan Yu, imitating Pan Yu's face, showing a standard look of three parts vulgarity and five parts urgency.
"I've heard of Brother Pan's great name for a long time. Seeing is believing~"
After saying that, Hua Lang winked at him as a flirt.
He had always been the one teasing others, but he never expected that one day he would be teased in return. Pan Yu's expression gradually changed from joy to confusion, and finally even a little bit of fear.
Late at night, under the crimson glow of a melting lamp, a young girl with a clear face and dark pupils, her eyes dull and twitching, a strange smile hanging from the corners of her mouth. Furthermore, she was clearly a new disciple, yet she kept saying something about having heard of your great name...
Pan Yu's brain was working rapidly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes twitched.
He remembered that this morning, on the list of candidates he received, there was no one who matched this woman's name...
Who is she?! Or, is she even human?!
Pan Yu remembered the demon in the entry trial, and goosebumps instantly covered his back.
The woman who was slowly approaching him suddenly raised her hand, but under her sleeve, it was not a human hand!
There was only pitch darkness, as terrifying as an abyss!
At this moment, the abyss suddenly grew two green bean-sized eyes, reflecting the blood-red light and staring at him——
Pan Yu yelled and crawled out of the yard.
