Ning Jing saw that he didn't continue walking, so she whispered, "Xu Fuyi, thank you!"
Hearing this, Xu Fuyi turned around and said with a smile: "You're welcome, but...if you really want to thank me, you can pledge your love to me."
Hearing this, Ning Jing instantly became furious and said angrily: "You...don't push your luck."
"Hahaha, I was just kidding, don't be angry. But I don't regret standing in front of you at that time." Xu Fuyi said seriously.
Ning Jing was frightened by his serious look. After a long while, she asked, "Why?"
Her encounter with Xu Fuyi had only begun in the secret realm, and it hadn't been a pleasant one at first. Although she had later explained the whole story, it seemed like nothing had changed since then, and they still bickered from time to time.
"If you asked me why in the past, I would definitely say I didn't know, but now, I can tell you with certainty that I like you and I want you to be my Taoist partner." Xu Fuyi's eyes were firm, completely different from his usual nonchalant look.
Ning Jing was shocked by his sudden confession. She stood there in a daze, unable to utter a word.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Fuyi continued, "It's my business that I like you, and you must not feel any burden. Maybe it started from the first time I saw you, or maybe it was from the days we spent together, but in short, I just like you.
I just hope you can be happy, but if my love causes you trouble, then I will stay away from you and not bother you. So, do you want to accept me?"
Ning Jing was already upset enough when she heard him say that he liked her, but she didn't expect him to say a lot of words like a machine gun, which made her even more upset.
In fact, Ning Jing didn't know what she was thinking, and couldn't come up with a conclusion, but seeing that he was still waiting for her answer, she just said, "Let me think about it."
Then she turned and ran as if a monster was chasing her.
I thought Xu Fuyi would be deeply shocked, but unexpectedly he just stayed there and smiled foolishly.
Although Ning Jing did not accept him, she did not refuse him either, right? She also said that she would consider it. Doesn't this mean that there is still a great chance?
Ning Jing trotted all the way to Su Yao. Su Yao noticed that something was wrong with her, looked in the direction she came from, and then saw Xu Fuyi who was still standing there with a silly smile.
Turning around to look at Ning Jing's face, there seemed to be a faint blush, and a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Su Yao had some guesses in her mind. It was obvious that Xu Fuyi had said something to Ning Jing, otherwise she would not have flushed and sweated. As a cultivator, it was naturally impossible for her to sweat easily, unless she was nervous or scared.
Pretending to be oblivious to anything, he deliberately teased Ning Jing: "What's wrong? Jingjing, why are you running so fast? Is there a beast chasing you?"
After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Xu Fuyi twice, with a meaningful smile on his face.
Hearing her say this, Ning Jing's face turned even redder: "Don't talk nonsense, I just wanted to run for some exercise since my body has just recovered."
"Oh~? Really? Then why is Xu Fuyi staring at you?" After saying that, he nudged Ning Jing's arm with his elbow in a mean manner.
"Don't talk nonsense! Keep your voice down." Ning Jing suddenly became nervous.
"Am I talking nonsense or am I right? Look, he is still looking at you and smiling foolishly! Hahaha." Although I was teasing, I still had to pay attention to Ning Jing's mood. I lowered my voice and asked with a smile.
Seeing Su Yao say this, Ning Jing pretended to turn around casually and glanced in the direction of Xu Fuyi. Unexpectedly, he was really doing the same as she said, smiling at her foolishly. Ning Jing quickly turned around again.
"Well, did you see it? Did he say anything to you?" Su Yao looked at Ning Jing with a gossipy look on her face.
Ning Jing's face turned even redder, and she seemed a little helpless, but she still said with a straight face: "Keep your voice down. I'll tell you when we get back. This is not the place to talk. I also wanted to consult your opinion."
"Okay, okay, let's go home quickly! Hahaha." Su Yao couldn't wait to return to her yard and listen attentively to Ning Jing telling her what happened.
The situations of the other people when they woke up were roughly the same as Xu Fuyi's. They knew that the monster had been killed, the method to open the door to the fairyland had been found, and they could also get out.
Everyone smiled sincerely. They had thought this trip would be a near-death experience, but now they could actually get out! It was like a dream.
When they heard that it was Nalan Jingyue who had single-handedly killed the monster, they all stepped forward to express their gratitude: "Daoist Nalan, thank you for your care on this trip. If you need us in the future, we will certainly be there for you, even at the cost of our lives."
"You don't have to do this. Even without you, I would still try my best to kill this monster."
"Fellow Daoist Nalan, although that's what you said, but after you took the Violent Spirit Pill, your cultivation..." Zhao Xiangran hesitated to speak.
Nalan Jingyue was more open-minded: "It's okay, my body is fine now, it's just that my realm has dropped to the late Nascent Soul stage, I can just continue to practice."
"What? Your cultivation level has dropped to the Nascent Soul stage? May I ask what was Fellow Daoist Nalan's previous cultivation level?" The others were surprised.
"The late stage of the Spirit Transformation." Nalan Jingyue said lightly.
"What? A late stage Spirit Transformation cultivator who is over two hundred years old?" Everyone was shocked. Such a genius was rare in the world of immortal cultivation.
"I just have more opportunities than others, don't mind it."
Now everyone else shut up wisely, fearing that they would be humiliated again.
Nalan Jingyue walked towards Su Yao and handed her the Nalingmu.
"This is for you. I won't be able to use my spiritual power later, so it's inconvenient to hold it. Besides, it's better for you to follow me, since Yunyun and the others are with you."
What Nalan Jingyue said made a lot of sense. It was reasonable for Aotian to stay with Yunyun and the others. But when Su Yao heard him say that he could not use his spiritual power, she remembered this.
Just now, I heard him say that his cultivation had fallen to the late Nascent Soul stage. He had also said before that he would not be able to use spiritual power within half a year. Thinking of this, Su Yao always felt uncomfortable.
"Okay, but what about nourishing the soul?" Su Yao suddenly thought of a problem. He also wanted to use the Soul-Calming Banner to nourish his mother's soul. If the senior followed her, how would he nourish the soul?
Nalan Jingyue was stunned for a moment, then said: "This is my negligence. Let's talk about this matter after we get out of here. If it really doesn't work out, I can only ask you to stay in our sect for the time being."
"Okay then, let's talk about it after we get out."
So everyone started to walk back. It took a lot of effort to get here, but it seemed much easier to go back.
