Chapter 223 Jade Hairpin
There was a hint of innocence in Nan Xiao's bright eyes, "Your young master asked you to leave."
Hei Jiu ignored her provocation, but just bowed respectfully towards Ming Cheng, and then disappeared.
Seeing this, Qiu Shui and Yi Ren wisely retreated, leaving only Nan Xiao and Ming Cheng in the yard.
Nan Xiao leaned against the door, his tone calm and casual, "Young Master, is there anything else?"
Mingcheng inexplicably had a heart attack.
"Speak nicely."
"Oh, it's alright then, you can leave. I'm going to rest."
"I·····"
Before Mingcheng could finish his words, he heard a bang and the door closed from the inside.
He stood there in a daze, looking at the closed door, speechless for a moment.
He thought about it and felt that he really couldn't do anything with this girl.
He just left angrily: "This is my house."
···
night.
Nan Xiao prepared to go to the space to practice as usual.
Before she could move, she noticed something strange in the room.
It seems like there's something extra.
Kuaipao appeared in her palm without making a sound, pretending to move towards the door unconsciously.
As she approached the door bolt, a breeze blew. She was about to call for help when a big hand covered her mouth from behind.
Nan Xiao, who was originally tense, relaxed instantly when she smelled the familiar scent.
She grabbed the arm of the person behind her and brought him directly into the space.
The boy still didn't let go, but put the hand that was originally covering his mouth on her shoulder.
Lu Huai's voice was a little tired and dull: "Finally found you."
Nan Xiao patted his arm and gestured for him to let go.
The two found a place to sit in the small building.
Having not seen Lu Huai for two or three months, the boy's eyes were obviously dark blue, and the tiredness in his eyes was also tinged with joy.
I guess I haven't had a good rest during this period of time because I've been looking for her.
She asked, "How did you find this place? And how did you get in?"
Not to mention that there are many masters in this Demon Palace, there are many masters hiding in the dark in this courtyard alone.
Lu Huai said, "I have my own way."
Nan Xiao saw that Lu Huai was in a bad mood and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, my little junior brother is the most powerful."
Lu Huai blamed himself: "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, if I were a little more powerful, you wouldn't be captured."
Nan Xiao reached out and touched Lu Huai's head, comforting him, "How could that be? In that kind of situation, no one can predict it. They say fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. My unexpected trip to the Demon Tribe this time is not entirely a bad thing."
Nan Xiao told Lu Huai roughly what had happened during this period.
"This place is too dangerous. Go back and reunite with Fourth Brother and the others. Once I'm done, we'll go back together."
"No, I'll stay and help you." Lu Huai flatly rejected Nan Xiao's suggestion. He said seriously, "It's not just me and my fourth senior brother who are here this time. There's also Chen Wenxuan, Senior Brother Zhuo, and Senior Sister Jian."
Nan Xiao was puzzled: "Why are they here too?"
Lu Huai explained: "We met on the way. They heard that you were in the demon tribe, so they followed you."
"Xiaoxiao, let us trust you, and you have to trust us too. Instead of cooperating with the demons, why don't we go on our own?"
"At least, our backs can be delivered, but the demons may not be."
Nan smiled: "Let me think about it."
Lu Huai didn't disturb her, but sat quietly beside her.
After a while.
Nan Xiao patted his arm and said, "You're right."
Cultivation itself is an adventure. She was afraid to go into a forbidden area. If the disaster that the master said was real, then she would have to wait for death.
Besides, it’s not like no one has returned alive from the forbidden area.
She couldn't guarantee that Chen Wenxuan and Zhuo Hua would go with her, but her fourth senior brother would definitely go.
She said, "You go back first. Let them explain the situation. Those who are willing to join us can gather outside the forbidden area at noon tomorrow."
Lu Huai slowly leaned towards Nan Xiao, resting his head on her shoulder. He stretched out his hands and gently embraced Nan Xiao, his movements natural and intimate. His voice was thick with weariness. "Xiaoxiao, I'm so tired. Let me rest here for a while and come back later, okay? I promise I won't delay anything."
Nan Xiao didn't think much about it: "I put a soft couch on the second floor, you can go there to rest, I will call you later."
She waited for a while, but the only response she got was the boy's even breathing.
Nan Xiao: .....
Well, this is using her as a pillow.
......
Seeing that it was almost the morning hour, Nan Xiao gently pushed Lu Huai and said, "Wake up, is it time to go back, Lu Huai?"
Lu Huai closed his eyes tightly, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.
He had originally wrapped his arms around Nan Xiao, but subconsciously tightened them a little more. With a heavy nasal tone, he mumbled incoherently, "Close your eyes a little longer... just a little longer..."
"Five minutes."
"good."
...
Nan Xiao brought Lu Huai out of the space. Before leaving, Lu Huai inserted a jade hairpin into her hair.
"Xiaoxiao, this is a magical weapon that can hide your spiritual energy. It can also protect you when you are in danger. Don't take it off."
"Okay, be careful on your way back."
Lu Huai's figure disappeared into the darkness with a gust of wind.
Early in the morning.
As soon as Nan Xiao opened the door, she saw Mingcheng sitting in her yard.
"Young Master, what's up so early in the morning?"
Mingcheng stared at the hairpin on her bun for a while, then looked away and said calmly, "I've told my brother that you can leave at any time and no one will follow you."
"If you want to stay, this yard will be reserved for you as well."
"Forbidden Land, I'll go with you."
Nan Xiao sat down next to him and asked, "How many people are you taking?"
"just me."
"Don't be so moved. I'm afraid you'll die in there, and I won't be able to recover."
Nan Xiao was stunned, "Then what do you want?"
Mingcheng smiled casually: "I'll owe it to you first. I'll ask you for it when I think it over."
"what ever."
...
Nan Xiao brought Mingcheng to the outskirts of the forbidden area.
From a distance, I saw several figures standing there.
In addition to her senior brother, Chen Wenxuan, Zhuo Hua and Jian Mo were all there.
Mingcheng looked at the few people, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was thinking about something, but he said nothing.
Su Xun grabbed Nan Xiao and turned her around, "Fortunately, she's not hurt."
Several people gathered around Nan Xiao and talked for a while, and finally turned their attention to Mingcheng.
"Demons?"
Nan Xiao introduced: "You all know the fourth senior brother, he is Mingcheng, the young master of the demon clan."
Su Xun frowned and looked Mingcheng up and down: "You were hiding it so well before, I didn't even notice it."
Zhuo Hua agreed: "Me too."
Mingcheng smiled and said, "It's always better to be careful when you go out."
“…”
"Okay, let's go in first."
A group of people entered a forbidden area, and a cold and gloomy aura instantly enveloped everyone.
Jian Mo took out some pills and distributed them to everyone, "You'll feel better after taking them."
"Thank you very much, Senior Sister Jian."
Nan Xiao asked, "Mingcheng, why is this place a forbidden area? Do you know how it came to be?"
Mingcheng: "You don't know anything, and you dare to come in?"
"I'm stubborn."
