"Will you be here tonight?" Yan Ying stretched out her arms and put them around Cen Ji's broad shoulders.
"Didn't I tell you that I'll be here from now on?" Cen Ji replied with a smile.
The sweet atmosphere between the two did not last long before there was a knock on the door.
Yan Ying sat up from the bed and looked towards the door with a puzzled look on her face.
"I'll go take a look." Yan Ying put on her shoes and got down from the ground, then put on her coat with quick movements.
Although Cen Ji didn't want Yan Ying to leave, he also knew that he couldn't let anyone in the sect find out that he was in Yan Ying's room. The little ghost liked staying in this sect so much, and he didn't want to cause her any trouble.
Cen Ji hid his figure.
Ever since Bai Huanzhi and Mu Siyue came yesterday, he has set up a formation around Yan Ying's room. Even if someone uses a spiritual weapon to detect his presence now, they cannot.
Yan Ying opened the door and saw Bai Huanzhi standing there.
"Good morning, senior brother." Yan Ying greeted Bai Huanzhi with a smile.
Bai Huanzhi nodded and said softly, "Master is back and waiting for you in the main hall."
"Master is finally back!" Yan Ying hadn't seen Ning Hai for a long time, and it was impossible for her to say that she didn't miss him.
Yan Ying followed Ning Hai to the main hall and saw He Qing in the hall.
"Hello, Master, Third Senior Brother." Yan Ying bowed obediently to Ning Hai, and then greeted He Qing with a smile.
Ning Hai nodded.
"Ying'er, have you caused any trouble for your senior brother recently?" Ning Hai looked at his little disciple lovingly.
"Of course not." Yan Ying said and glanced at Bai Huan.
She hasn't been anywhere in the sect these days, so how could she have the chance to get into trouble?
"That's good. Master, I heard that a demon cultivator entered the sect yesterday. Did you encounter any danger?" Ning Hai carefully observed Yan Ying's reaction.
Yan Ying rolled her eyes at first, then smiled and shook her head. "Master, I'm fine."
"Have you seen that evil cultivator?" Ning Hai continued to ask Yan Ying.
Yan Ying glanced at Bai Huanzhi and He Qing. She could probably guess why her master wanted to see her here today.
Yesterday, Cen Ji was discovered by the eldest senior brother in her room. She guessed yesterday that the eldest senior brother would definitely tell the master about this.
As for the third senior brother, Mu Siyue once came to her and told her that Wu Bai was killed by Cen Ji. Although the third senior brother was far away from them when Mu Siyue spoke to her, he must have been able to hear it.
Yan Ying knew that Cen Ji's identity could no longer be hidden.
She also didn't think that Cen Ji should not be mentioned, even though his current identity was the Lord of the Demon Realm, and the Demon Realm had always been at odds with Jiuzhou.
But even if they all knew that Cen Ji was the Lord of the Demon Realm, what could they do? Just like Cen Ji said, they couldn't do anything to him.
"Master, do you want to ask Cen Ji?" Yan Ying asked.
Ning Hai nodded. He knew Yan Ying was smart, and she must have guessed why he had asked her to come here. "How long have you been in contact with him?"
"It wasn't long. He came looking for me on the day my master left the sect." Yan Ying answered truthfully.
"The disciple of the sect who was killed..."
"Master, don't worry. That wasn't done by Cen Ji." Yan Ying spoke before Ning Hai finished speaking.
"Then, his identity as the Lord of the Demon Realm... is also true?" Ninghai Observer He Qing said softly.
Yan Ying nodded. "It's true, but he didn't do anything evil. He wouldn't hurt me."
