"Shao Yin, Shao Yin!"
Hearing the familiar call from behind, Xiao Shaoyin stopped and looked at Nanjian with scrutiny:
"Why are you here too?"
Nanjian showed a proper look of bewilderment and played dumb:
"I just came to see you..." and then created a perfect alibi for myself.
"No need to follow me, I'm just getting some water."
Xiao Shaoyin didn't seem to have any doubts, but because of what Tang Yu had said before, he felt depressed and seemed to be surrounded by an lingering haze.
"Since we're here..." Nanjian still insisted on going to the stream with Xiao Shaoyin.
The faint moonlight sprinkled on the water, vaguely revealing the clarity of the stream. In the hazy moonlight, Xiao Shaoyin's figure was slowly reflected on the water.
An exquisite jade pot was casually used by Xiao Shaoyin as a tool to hold water. Nan Jian couldn't help but feel distressed, but when he thought that the most important thing now was to sever ties with Tang Yu, he stopped thinking about anything else and instead cooperated very well by following Xiao Shaoyin's side, pretending to be air.
Looking at Shao Yin's eyes that showed a hint of loss, Nan Jian became more and more certain that his decision was correct.
It's only been half a day and Shao Yin has become like this. If Tang Yu continues to follow her, it will be disastrous!
Anyway, he had already instructed the earth spirit to take Tang Yu far away. When they returned, Tang Yu had already disappeared hundreds of miles away.
By then, the matter was already settled. As long as he pretended to be unaware, Shao Yin would never suspect him!
Nan Jian cleared his throat and swallowed the smile that was about to be suppressed.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Xiao Shaoyin looked towards Nanjian suspiciously. Why did this fox seem so stupid all day?
Why does he have such a crying and laughing expression now?
Nan Jian shook his head guiltily, trying his best to return to his usual self, and said to Xiao Shaoyin with a fake smile:
"It's okay, let's go."
Although Xiao Shaoyin still felt something was wrong, when she thought about the fact that they had been out for some time and that there were demons appearing here from time to time, it would be dangerous to leave Tang Yu alone, so she quickened her pace without making a sound.
As for his suspicion about Nanjian's strange behavior, he gradually suppressed it in his heart.
Let Nanjian go back to Qingqiu tomorrow. This is a matter between him and Tang Yu, so let them solve it themselves.
But when Xiao Shaoyin quickened her pace and returned to the forest, Tang Yu was no longer in front of the blazing fire.
Xiao Shaoyin looked around again without giving up, but still couldn't find Tang Yu. Her face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Following the crisp sound of a jade pot hitting the ground, Nanjian deliberately asked late:
"What's wrong Shao Yin?" He looked in the direction Shao Yin was staring at. He was not surprised that there was no one there. However, he was still showing a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Hey, where's that person? Why is he gone?"
Xiao Shaoyin looked over slowly, her fox eyes slightly narrowed, as if she was observing and examining him.
Although Nan Jian felt guilty, he, known as the "smiling fox", acted very naturally and even asked with a hint of worry:
"Shao Yin, was she gone when you came back?"
Xiao Shaoyin didn't notice any unusual expression on Nanjian's face, so she looked away. She gritted her teeth and remained silent for a while before speaking:
"When I came back, he was gone..."
"Ah, so that's it..." Nanjian exclaimed in a low voice.
So far, everything was going as he expected.
Nan Jian pursed his lips proudly at an angle where Xiao Shaoyin couldn't see.
You are amazing!
You saved a fox that was about to go astray!
Nan Jian was certainly not satisfied with this, so he secretly guided Xiao Shaoyin in another direction:
"Did he just leave without saying goodbye?"
In this case, it really has nothing to do with him.
Nan Jian secretly looked forward to Xiao Shaoyin's reaction.
He knew his good friend, who had an extraordinary talent for cultivation since childhood. As a result, he was arrogant and would never compromise.
If Tang Yu really left on her own, Shao Yin would definitely not be so eager to find her again.
Shao Yin definitely wouldn’t do that, Nan Jian was very sure.
"Leaving without saying goodbye?"
Xiao Shaoyin rolled these four words lightly between his lips in a tone that was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. Finally, a very gorgeous smile appeared on his lips. His crimson robe was blown by the cold night wind. Before Nan Jian could react, Xiao Shaoyin's figure had already flown into the air.
The nine tails of the red fox are different from the pure white nine tails of the white fox. Instead, they are extremely red. Every hair is extremely soft and looks as bright as a colorful feather dress.
At this time, the red nine-tailed beast behind Xiao Shaoyin slowly unfolded in the air, and the huge nine-tailed beast almost covered Xiao Shaoyin's entire body.
If Nan Jian looked carefully at this time, he would find that the mark between Xiao Shaoyin's eyebrows was turning red, and finally became bright.
Nan Jian suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Before he could utter a single word, Xiao Shaoyin's voice had already spread throughout the forest:
"The Earth Spirit emerges—!"
Nanjian's eyelids twitched violently.
As the red fox with the highest cultivation talent in the past thousand years, Xiao Shaoyin's cultivation is also above theirs, so he can easily summon the earth spirits of an entire mountain.
But this consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
Nan Jian never expected Xiao Shaoyin to do this.
