In the peach blossom forest on the back mountain, the night breeze blows gently.
Sophie dusted off the dirt on her hands and looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction.
The originally uneven pit was turned into a flat ground again after being decorated with branches and weeds.
This realistic look will surely allow the hero and heroine to develop a good relationship on the day of the Spirit Control Conference.
She happily picked up the hoe at her feet and prepared to go home with a snap of her fingers.
However, before her fingers touched, a tall figure suddenly appeared before her.
He was dressed in a white robe as white as snow, with his long black hair casually draped over his shoulders, which made his originally cold face look a little more lazy.
Sophie was stunned for a moment.
She instinctively turned around and tried to escape, but a big hand suddenly appeared and grabbed her collar.
???
Sophie froze.
Xuan Lin lifted her in front of him as if she were a chick.
"Hi, hello, Uncle Xuanlin~"
Sophie grinned and forced a smile.
Xuan Lin lowered his eyes and looked at her smile which was uglier than crying, his narrow eyes slightly raised.
"On such a dark and windy night, why did you come out to this desolate wilderness alone instead of staying in your room?"
He half-closed his eyes and asked indifferently.
Sophie tilted her head back, pursed her lips, and pointed to the sky above her head.
"Master, Yan'er is here to enjoy the moon."
"Moon-watching?"
Xuan Lin raised his eyebrows playfully, obviously not believing her.
Sophie spared no effort in explaining.
"Uncle Master, you may not know that tonight is a full moon night. And according to Yan'er's stargazing and divination a few days ago, the mountain behind Galan Academy is the best place to view the moon. That's why Yan'er came here at midnight just to admire the beautiful moonlight."
Sophie lied without blushing or beating her heart.
Suddenly, there was a force on my chin.
Xuan Lin lifted her chin with his fingertips, indicating that she should look up at the sky.
The sky, which originally had a hint of moonlight, was covered by thick clouds at some point. It was so dark that not even a star could be seen, let alone the slightest shadow of the moon.
"It seems that my nephew's ability in stargazing and divination still needs to be improved."
Xuan Lin's lukewarm words came from his ears, and an inexplicable sense of oppression arose spontaneously.
Sophie's eyelids twitched.
"Master, Yan'er is wrong. Yan'er shouldn't tell lies."
She immediately put on an aggrieved expression and looked at the expressionless man pitifully.
"Oh? Tell me about it then."
Xuan Lin raised his chin slightly to signal her to continue.
Sophie looked serious when she heard this.
"Uncle Master, Yan'er actually came to the back mountain to practice!"
"Practice?"
Xuan Lin frowned in disbelief, and Sophie nodded solemnly.
"That's right! In order to show off her talents at this year's Imperial Spirit Conference and shed the label of "useless," Yan'er specifically chose this late-night, deserted area in the back mountains to gather her spiritual energy. This way, she wouldn't be seen during the day and subjected to gossip and ridicule..."
Xuan Lin listened to her words quietly in silence.
He was not unfamiliar with the rumors about her in the sect.
If this is true, these unusual behaviors make sense.
only……
Sophie secretly looked at his cold face and was about to say a few more words, but suddenly her feet dropped to the ground.
"Since my nephew is so ambitious, how can I, as his uncle, sit idly by and watch?"
The man's low and cold voice came with an unprecedented sense of weightlessness.
Thousands of scenes flashed before my eyes in an instant.
