"What use would I have for these ancient books of yours? The sect has plenty of them; I can take them whenever I want."
The sect leader was never a stingy person; he was still willing to lend a few books.
Luo Fantian gently shook his head, opened the book, and pointed to a few words on it for her to see.
"Having this book will be a great help to you. When I'm not around, you can read these books more often; they can help you protect yourself."
Luo Fantian could naturally see that the little girl in front of him had lost her compassion and only knew that the innocent would remain innocent and the guilty would remain guilty, but she did not understand the saying that the human heart is unpredictable.
Hopefully, these ancient books can save her life in a critical moment, and also serve as her companion in her place.
"Alright, since you've said so, I'll take them back and read them more." Xie Zhou casually accepted the ancient books and put them in his pocket.
In fact, Luo Fantian knew that he himself did not want to read these kinds of books, so he did not force him too much. After all, he was not unaware of the principle of reversal when things reach their extreme.
Only if she gradually accepts the idea of a secretary can she possibly open it and read it; otherwise, no one's advice will be of any use.
"You must remember the contents of this book. You must keep them in mind, otherwise you may encounter more difficulties later. I cannot protect you at all times, so I hope these books can protect you in my place."
Luo Fentian looked helplessly at the bright moon outside the window, which seemed particularly dazzling at the moment. The bright moonlight shone directly through the window onto the table, as if leaving a certain gap between the two of them.
"You always worry about so many things. Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. But speaking of which, why is your yard so quiet? I wandered around for ages before I found it."
Logically speaking, the yard should be quite lively, or rather, full of people, but tonight is very strange.
However, rather than saying that tonight is strange, it's more accurate to say that it's always been like this, but I just haven't paid attention to it.
If your heart and mind aren't focused on it, you naturally won't think about understanding or knowing.
"I like quiet, so I don't like being disturbed. It's normal for there to be few people around. Only you have this privilege, being able to climb through my windows and kick down my door at will. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be so lucky."
After saying that, she smiled indulgently, as if she were holding the person in front of her like candy, letting it melt slowly in her mouth and savoring its sweetness.
Just then, the system's voice suddenly interrupted the otherwise novel environment.
"Host, don't get too caught up in romance. We still have a mission to carry out tonight. How about we finish this first, then we can talk about love?"
"No!" Xie Zhou didn't want to give the other party any more chances to say anything, but it still wouldn't work.
A system is a system after all; it cannot be ignored. He didn't want to speak, so he didn't even have the chance to open his mouth.
"Oh dear, host, tonight's mission is extremely important. Please allow me to interrupt your romantic getaway! You finally made it down the mountain, why aren't you completing the mission instead of hiding here ignoring the system?"
Xie Zhou knew perfectly well that the system didn't have a real body, but for some reason, he could now imagine the system pouting in dissatisfaction.
The voice was all sweet talk, and there was only one plate left, but there was nothing she could do but listen to him.
"Don't worry, after I finish this task, you can chat however you want. I'll disappear from your sight as quickly as possible and won't bother you."
Xie Zhou had no choice but to nod in agreement. Otherwise, in this situation, he wouldn't even be able to speak and would just be left hanging, which would be even more embarrassing.
"Spit it out, or shut up. Stop interrupting my date, or I'll uninstall you."
"Host, it's not a difficult problem at all. All you need to do now is get this person out of the room, and we'll take care of the rest."
'Us? Who else but you?'
The system, sensing something was wrong, instantly changed the subject, 'What do you mean, "we"? You must have misheard me.'
Then the system began its monologue: 'Host, later you do this, then that, lead him out of this house and into the backyard, and naturally the next mission will follow.'
Xie Zhou felt her voice return, but then she saw the person in front of her asking her questions.
Are you feeling unwell? Why haven't you heard me?
Xie Zhou grinned awkwardly; he couldn't very well tell him that he was being held up by the system.
"No, it just feels a bit stuffy inside. Let's go for a walk in the backyard!"
Luo Fantian thought it was indeed a good idea, so the two of them went out together and came to the back garden, where they saw a monster hiding there.
When he saw them, he didn't seem too surprised. Instead, he acted normally, walked forward, and tried to attack them.
Xie Zhou dodged to the side, and the two of them avoided a heavy blow. The monster swept his leg, but unexpectedly gained nothing.
The two stood there unharmed, glanced at each other, and after confirming that they were safe, began to look for a place to hide.
Xie Zhou felt as if he couldn't use his power anymore, and only then did he remember what the system had just said about "us".
It turns out they'd bound her power, preventing her from using it. Xie Zhou was increasingly confused about what the other party wanted to do. Did they intend to kill them?
Left with no other choice, they could only observe quietly and wait to see if the monster would behave in any unusual way.
Because of his improper dodge, Luo Fantian was directly grabbed by the monster, his throat was controlled, and he was pressed tightly against the monster's body, unable to move.
The demon, his face full of smugness, crouched down and turned to look at the handsome young man. "Tell me, why did you run away? In the end, you still ended up in my hands."
"Brahma!" Xie Zhou was about to rush forward when he was stopped by him.
"Don't come any closer. I'm fine. This monster can't do anything to me. Hide away and don't come out."
Xie Zhou had never been so obedient before. He immediately rushed out, looked at the monster with a face full of anger, but he still couldn't understand what the system wanted to do!
Before long, she realized that the monster had scratched them both, causing them to fall to the ground. Just then, an antidote fell from the sky.
Xie Zhou picked it up, broke it open, and stuffed it into the mouth of Luo Fantian, who had already fallen into a coma.
He forced the other person to swallow it, then collapsed to the side, feeling the weakness creeping into his body.
She was gambling, gambling that the system wouldn't let her leave so easily. So, no matter what the final outcome was, she would give the antidote to Luo Fantian.
The fact that the other party was unconscious actually made things easier for me.
They didn't know how much time had passed, but they both slowly woke up as if from a dream.
