"Do you know you are wrong?" Ning Hai asked sternly.
Yan Ying shrank her neck and looked at Ning Hai. Her master had never spoken to her in this tone before.
Suddenly seeing her master being so strict, she felt a little nervous.
She knew that Ning Hai was blaming her for taking action on her own, but she had only used a small electric ball, which was a basic spell, and they could not see the attributes of her spiritual roots.
Moreover...the disciples of Xuan Ting Xianmen were rude first, and she didn't want to swallow her anger.
"Don't you know you're wrong?" Ning Hai frowned and looked at Yan Ying angrily.
"Master, I haven't exposed my spiritual roots. Everyone can use that little electric ball..." Yan Ying lowered her head and whispered. "And that Su Qinggang, he was the one who provoked me first..."
"If I had come a few hours later, the disciples of Xuanting Immortal Sect would have been injured by you, and things would have been troublesome." Ning Hai sighed helplessly.
A minor fight would be fine, but using such a heavy hand would give others a handle. If Xuan Ting Xianmen were to investigate, a lot of trouble would be inevitable.
"Disciple knows his mistake." Yan Ying said in a low voice.
"Master." Bai Huanzhi pushed the door open and entered the house with Wu Lin and He Qing. Looking at the look on the little junior sister's face, he knew that she was being reprimanded by the master.
"Master, it was Huanzhi's fault today for not being able to stop Junior Sister, but...it was Su Qinggang who was rude first." Bai Huanzhi pulled Yan Ying to his side and defended her. "If Master wants to punish, it's Huanzhi..."
"Alright, I've already beaten you. There's no point in talking any more. Pack up and go back to the sect," Ning Hai said, waving his hand. He had only intended to lecture Yan Ying, not punish her. "Don't be so impulsive next time. You guys are such a worry to me."
"Master, we haven't caught the monster yet, so why are we going back now?" Wu Lin asked in confusion.
"The monster has been captured," Ning Hai whispered. "Master has already returned to the sect. There's no point in us staying here."
"Since the monster has been captured, what are these people doing here?" Yan Ying asked, looking up. "And... who captured the monster?"
"These disciples are here to inspect the seal of the Demon Locking Tower. The escaped monsters are no longer in Fuzhou, and their whereabouts are unknown." Ning Hai frowned and sighed.
They had been searching for so long, but they didn't expect that there were no fleeing monsters in Fuzhou at all.
"Master, was it the work of the Demon Realm?" Bai Huanzhi had already guessed that the monster had been captured, otherwise they would not have been unable to find it.
Ning Hai shook his head. There was still something fishy about this matter, and he couldn't easily make a judgment. "Let's go back to the sect first."
There are more strange things happening in Fuzhou, but they cannot be figured out in a short time, so they have to think about it in the long run.
......
Yan Ying saw the masked man again on the way back to her room.
The man in purple next to that person saw her and tilted his head to smile at her.
"Wait..." Yan Yingka called out as she looked at the masked man passing by her.
She always felt that this person was somewhat familiar.
"Big brother, you are not from Fuzhou, right? What are you doing in Fuzhou?" Yan Ying looked at the masked man with a smile.
This figure...
"Watching the snow." Cen Ji made up something casually.
He's dressed like this, this kid won't recognize him...
"What a refined taste! There aren't many refined people like you."
"Have fun." Yan Ying smiled and turned to leave.
Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying's back, feeling confused. She called him just to ask him a question?
Yan Ying returned to her room and saw through the crack in the door that the two people had left.
That masked man is clearly Cen Ji in disguise. Do you really think she can't see it? This kid Cen Ji is really good at hiding himself...
She recognized him even when he turned into ashes, so how could she not recognize him if he wore new clothes?
He followed them to Fuzhou...was it to protect Mu Siyue?
There are so many people from the Demon Realm in Fuzhou. Could it be that those monsters were really captured by people from the Demon Realm...
It was so frustrating, but she couldn't ask Cen Ji directly. If she asked him directly, Cen Ji would probably shut her up.
[System: Cen Ji said he won't harm your life. Host, you can give it a try.]
Are you kidding? With a favorability of only 20, how dare she do whatever she wants?
If Mu Siyue asked him, Cen Ji might tell the truth. But if she asked him, Cen Ji would not tell her anything and might even be afraid of her.
How much does Cen Ji like Mu Siyue? When will she be treated the same as Mu Siyue?
Woohoo, life is so hard.
[System: System query shows that Cen Ji's favorability towards Mu Siyue is 0.]
“???”
Yan Ying opened her eyes wide in disbelief. How could it be 0?
The stinky system wouldn't be lying to her, would it?
Cen Ji cares so much about Mu Siyue, how could he not have a favorable impression of her.
[System: Host, this is unfair. Favorability represents the degree of love. (Unfair)]
Love...degree?
Yan Ying only now understood how this favorability came about. In other words, Cen Ji had a little... crush on her...
In the original book, Cen Ji had such a strong possessiveness towards Mu Siyue. Could it be that he didn't like Mu Siyue?
[System: Perhaps he feels a sense of dependence and affection for Mu Siyue.]
Tsk tsk tsk, little Cen Ji still has some awareness of keeping her chastity.
No wonder Cen Ji asked her if she liked him. It turned out that he had fallen in love with her. Cen Ji had bad intentions towards her.
If that's the case... maybe she could try to sound out Cen Jing's attitude.
