As the stone door of the basement slowly closed, Bai Feng's heart beat slightly faster.
He looked at the dim passage ahead and couldn't help swallowing.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
Shui Xiyu turned around, holding a dim oil lamp in her hand. The flame shone on her face, making the smile at the corner of her mouth have a hint of horror.
"Nothing, let's keep going."
Bai Feng shook his head and stopped his wandering thoughts.
He followed Shui Xiyu and soon arrived at a fairly spacious room.
There was a large table inside, with many strange-shaped glass or crystal products on it, and there was even a large bed not far away.
He stared at the bed for a while, a little confused as to why there was a bed here.
At this time, Shui Xiyu also noticed his gaze, so she explained with a smile: "I occasionally study formations here recently, so I put a bed here to rest."
Bai Feng nodded. He saw that the sheets and quilts on the bed were wrinkled, showing signs of having been used.
"Teacher, come here."
Shui Xiyu put down the oil lamp and blew it out, and the room became pitch black in an instant.
However, this was not a problem for a cultivator like Bai Feng. Even in the dark, he could clearly see Shui Xiyu fiddling with the 'lamp'.
"Teacher, look!"
As Shui Xiyu activated the formation, the 'lamp' on the far left of the table lit up. It was a spherical lamp that emitted a soft white light. From a distance, it looked like a pearl half the size of a fist, completely illuminating the room.
"Very good." Bai Feng walked forward and observed for a moment, "and the transmission of spiritual energy is also very stable."
Shui Xiyu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Hehe, actually I made this a long time ago, and I have been working on the latter few in the past few days."
After saying that, she turned on the switches of several lights at the back.
Then Bai Feng saw lights of different colors and strange shapes, and the last one was more amazing. It was like the rotating lamp pole in front of a barber shop, except that the color of this pole was richer and more colorful, and it also rotated.
"Teacher, how is it?" Shui Xiyu asked expectantly, "Is it beautiful?"
“…”
Bai Feng looked at the colorful lamp posts, then looked at Shui Xiyu who was looking expectant. He seemed to be hesitant to speak - is there something wrong with this little dragon girl's aesthetic taste?
"Not bad," he praised reluctantly, "but I think it's a bit of a waste to use such a good lamp only for rotation. You can connect it to sound and make the light bigger or smaller with the sound fluctuations. And you don't need so many colors. Sometimes the combination of a few colors is much better than cramming all the colors together."
"Oh!" Shui Xiyu nodded and quickly took out a pen and paper to write it down. "As expected of a teacher, this is a great idea. I already know how to do it."
Bai Feng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Shui Xiyu's aesthetic taste might still be saved.
Then he looked at the colorful lamp post again, and suddenly a strange idea emerged in his mind - he felt that he could modify the lamp post slightly to make a small RGB light accessory for the camera.
By the way, it’s time to change the name of the video recorder. No, the underlying logic should be rewritten. Now the video recorder is just like adding a bunch of things to an eye, and it already feels like a pile of shitty code.
When Bai Feng's thoughts were wandering, Shui Xiyu did not disturb him, but just looked at him.
In fact, she didn't choose the basement as the location because of any deep meaning. No, it was impossible to say that she didn't have any ulterior motives in her mind. She just suppressed the dangerous thoughts in her heart because she knew that now was not the right time.
At least I have to do it a few more times, until the teacher completely lets down his guard...
No, you can't do that.
She shook her head gently, trying to suppress the little thoughts that kept popping up in her mind - rather than doing something to the teacher, she was more afraid that the teacher would alienate her.
"teacher……"
"Hmm? What's up?"
"I have some questions here."
Bai Feng stopped his wandering thoughts, walked to Shui Xiyu's side and took the paper from her hand: "These problems are easy to handle..."
"Oh, right." While explaining the problem, he suddenly thought of something, "I should be leaving in a few days. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."
"So soon?"
"After all, things have been dealt with almost completely. It's not good for us to stay in Dongzhou any longer. Besides, you will be busy soon too."
"Yeah, that's right..."
Shui Xiyu lowered her head slightly. Will she never see her teacher again in the future?
During this period of time together, although she was basically just learning formations from Bai Feng, she felt a little more dependent on him in her heart.
In fact, it was like this at the beginning. It was the books written by the teacher and the teachings and answers in the letters that allowed her to see a little light in her lonely, fearful, and hateful life of escape. During that time, the teacher was like a gentle and trustworthy elder, making her want to get close to and rely on him.
Later, she set off for a town near the Tianjian Sect and found that her teacher was so young. She felt that he was more like a trustworthy and reliable brother than an elder. During her time of careful teaching, her dependence and respect for the teacher gradually took on a different flavor.
She wanted to stay with the teacher, she wanted to always receive the teacher's teachings, she wanted the teacher to stay with her forever...
"Shui Xiyu?"
"Ah? I'm here!"
Shui Xiyu quickly raised her head, and her originally lifeless eyes suddenly became brighter.
"Listen carefully in class and don't be distracted."
"Yes, teacher."
Shui Xiyu nodded quickly, but the emotions that had just emerged in her heart did not dissipate for a long time.
…
"The tiger was finally taken away."
Bai Feng stretched lazily. This morning, He Yi took the tiger away and set off for the Southern Region. Without the tiger, which was his "big worry", he felt a lot more relaxed.
He also talked about some business matters and established preliminary cooperation, but more details still require He Yi and others to go to Yu Linglong to discuss and establish further cooperation.
He quickly left the empty yard and waved to Bai Yumo, Yun Yueyao and others who had been waiting outside the yard for a long time: "Let's go too."
Now that the God has left Dongzhou, they have no reason to stay any longer.
And he had done what he should do. Before leaving, he gave Shui Xiyu special training for a few days. With her current level of formation, he couldn't guarantee that she would win, but losing was basically impossible. The worst situation would be that she would lose three points to Dongzhou.
