Yu Bieye did not want to delve into this issue.

He just fell asleep, but he was not pretending, he was indeed extremely tired.

Even the three or two hours he took a nap next to her felt strangely peaceful that he had never experienced in this period of time.

It's just that his whole body was in too much pain, and Ning Chan's movements were gentle enough, but he still woke up when she put down the Buddha stone and closed the door before leaving.

Who would have thought that the Buddha's Glazed Stone, the most precious treasure in the world that he could not find anywhere, would be in her hand.

Then she casually placed it on his pillow.

Isn't she afraid that when she comes back from the ring, she will lose both her life and money?

He quickly looked away from the Buddha Stone, unable to tell what he was feeling. He moved his fingers, but did not put the stone back in the end, but just held it in his hand.

The Buddha's Glazed Stone is slightly cool to the touch.

His palm was filled with hot blood.

Jiuzhuantian's Awakening Spirit was too overbearing, and the wounds all over his body slowly healed in an inexplicable manner. In just a moment, the places where his limbs were penetrated were covered with flesh and blood again.

Yu Bieye couldn't help but feel a little lost in thought.

He was wondering where he would be now if it weren't for her.

Most likely, it's like the past, lying quietly in the decaying sweetness of Huatang Mountain like a dead dog, letting itself be buried by the wind and snow.

At least the coldness can bring a sense of almost numb relief to the burning and painful wounds.

He had many questions in his mind.

Why should she save him?

There were only a few brief interactions between them, and such interactions might allow her to say a few good words for him without violating her own interests.

But he would never take such a big risk to rescue him from the head of Suzaku Wuji, Shao He Zhiyuan.

What was that complexity and awkwardness that she displayed with subtle restraint but unexpectedly revealed when she faced him?

She seemed angry, but not angry with him, more like she was angry with herself. She would even intentionally or unintentionally avoid more eye contact with him, and even her body showed signs that she might not have noticed.

Inconspicuous stiffness.

It's like... I don't know how to face him.

But why?

The few previous encounters between him and her were too simple to support such complex emotions.

Yu Bieye intuitively understood that behind Ning Chan's emotions was the real reason why she saved him.

He couldn't understand.

Yubieye concentrated for a moment.

...It can’t really be that the senior brother named Duan Chongming just said that he was attracted by his face?

Yubie fell into silence that night.

The cold and warm Buddha stone in his palm woke him up from his brief meditation, and he thought of another question.

The Buddha Stone was used to cover up evil spirits, so why did she leave the thing he needed most by his side?

Has the effect of the earth mole demon pill disappeared? Has the aura around you leaked?

No, that shouldn't be the case.

If there was even an iota of evil spirit in him, he would not be able to escape Huatangshan's formation.

So, why exactly?

Yu Bie's thoughts were agitated at night, but he didn't want to ask any of these, and he couldn't ask any of them.

He was afraid of breaking the current peace that made him unable to resist greed.

The room was too quiet.

The sounds that penetrated from Changshui Square were stretched far away, and instead seemed like some kind of hypnotic emptiness.

The smell of blood around him was too strong, but at this moment, when he turned his head slightly, he still smelled a very subtle scent from the pillow that should belong to her.

Yu Bie did not move during the night, letting the breath wrap around him. Soon his consciousness became hazy again, and he was about to fall asleep and half-conscious again.

However, while he was half awake and half dreaming, a call as clear and clear as a warbler's cry sounded in his ears.

There was a smile in that voice, just a short sound, and it was as if spring flowers were blooming all over the field.

"Junior brother!"

Yubie was stunned for a while.

The voice became closer and clearer, as if someone really tilted their head in his ear and asked such a question with a smile.

"Then do you want me to call you Aye or junior brother?"

Yubie opened his eyes suddenly.

The two sounds just now faded away like a tide, and there was nothing around him, not even a trace of anyone.

It's an illusion that comes from nowhere.

But he was sure he heard correctly.

Not only did he hear it correctly, he was also very sure of one thing.

That was... Ningzen's voice.

*

Along the way, Ning Chan and Duan Chongming didn't say a word.

The two of them made a tacit agreement not to mention the fact that there was an extra person in Ningchan's room at the moment, and their expressions were natural and calm, as if nothing had happened.

When we rushed back to Changshui Square, it was a short break between the Sancaitian and Sixiangtian arenas.

When Tang Hualuo saw Ningchan coming back and saw Duan Chongming beside her, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew Senior Brother Duan was looking for you! Fortunately, I caught up!"

Bai Lian glanced at the two of them very calmly but with sharp eyes, and nodded: "Just come back."

With these four simple words, Ning Chan managed to decipher the forward meaning in Bai Lian's words.

——"I didn't run away before the battle, and I knew that I would just come back and work for Luan Xuefeng to make money."

Ning Chan: "..."

She hated herself for having the ability to interpret such words.

There was still a while to rest, so she turned to look at the path-finding list and found that after the first round, the disciples at Luan Xuefeng were indeed very successful, and for the time being, they had completed Brother Bai Lian's plan with a minimum guarantee.

Even Bai Lian himself didn't paddle, and his name was also on the list of three talented people.

It can be said that he leads by example and leaves people speechless.

The pressure then came to Ning Chan and Duan Chongming.

"Senior sister, what were you doing when it suddenly got dark just now? But you gave me a fright. Fortunately, I had already come down from the ring at that time, otherwise the sword has no eyes, and there is no telling what would have happened." Tang Hualuo said.

He came over and said in a low voice: "I heard that it was the Nine Turns of Heaven, covering the sun, but I don't know what happened."

Ning Chan said calmly: "I'm just cramming."

Bai Lian just had a gut feeling that there might be something fishy in the disappearance of Ning Chan and Duan Chongming. He had pricked up his ears early and waited for the answer. In the end, he heard this sentence.

Bai Lian: "...?"

Tang Hualuo didn't understand and asked cautiously: "Hua, what are you holding the Buddha's feet?"

Ningchan spread his hands: "Isn't it that time is tight, the task is heavy, and expectations are high? As the senior sister of Luan Xuefeng, I deeply feel the weight of my mission, so I have to temporarily go into seclusion and enter a samadhi.

.”

Tang Hualuo: "..."

Bai Lian: "..."

Other disciples of Luan Xuefeng with their ears pricked up: "..."

Listen to this, how outrageous it is!!

In just two or three hours, can you still go into seclusion and practice urgently?

However, Duan Chongming nodded beside him and said very seriously: "Me too."

Everyone: "..."

Numb.

Now that senior brothers and sisters are cultivating, are they all working so hard day and night?

Ning Chan looked at everyone's different expressions and thought that if they knew a word called involution, they should be able to describe their current state.

Was involved.

While he was talking, the Jiugong Bagua Stage began to fluctuate with new spells, and a clear bell rang, indicating that the Sixiangtian arena competition was about to begin.
