Xie Ziyou clenched his fists tightly.
The wind on the peak was cold, whistling and whining like a ghost.
The hard pebbles dug deep into his palms. The young man in the white dress was half-squatting on the ground. His entire back was bent into a line, like a cat that had met its natural enemy.
He stared fixedly at the pale golden light spots dancing in the cave. For some reason, his heart was filled with an extremely sour and impatient impulse.
His heart raced and his blood flowed.
The pulsating meridians pulsed in his ears. His heart surged, and the trembling sound suppressed all the noise around him.
He wanted to throw the pebbles out.
She really wanted to throw caution to the wind and shoot down that annoying butterfly that kept buzzing!
Separated by a wall, Guan Heng, who was paralyzed on the ground, lowered his head and slowly raised his right hand as if he was connected to Xie Ziyou's mind.
"Slap!"
The loud and clear slapping sound reverberated in the cave, lingering on the quiet and serene peak.
"…"
Xie Ziyou's eyelids twitched.
The angry thumping in his chest stopped abruptly.
He could not tell what he was feeling. He could only turn his head sluggishly and stare at the System for a moment. He carefully pointed at the fingernail-sized cave in front of him.
"That … If I'm not wrong, the senior whose name starts with 3 … was slapped to death by the protagonist?"
The System, "!!!"
What kind of joke was this?
It flapped its wings and squeezed into the cave, "Excuse me, You, let me see —"
Xie Ziyou was still in a daze.
It was a terrible scene. His rationality told him that it would bring about the most terrible consequences.
But for some reason, he was slightly relieved.
Xie Ziyou wanted to get up and make room for the System.
But he had been squatting for too long. His calves were numb from the wind. When he stood up, his legs went soft and he could not stand up.
At this moment, Guan Heng suddenly raised his head.
The cold wind whistled and blew away the fine bangs in front of his forehead.
A mysterious golden light appeared in the young man's eyes. It was as if the sky had cracked and the stars had fallen. His bright and penetrating gaze pierced through the cold wind and met Xie Ziyou's eyes!
When their eyes met, Xie Ziyou broke out in a cold sweat.
His mind was blank, and the Xuan Li around him subconsciously swarmed out. The icy blue airflow converged with the cold wind, drawing a graceful arc in the air like a firefly.
Xuan Li supported his master, whose legs had gone soft. Xie Ziyou pressed his fingertips against the stone wall and struggled to support himself.
Immediately, a line of slender finger marks appeared on the stone wall.
Xie Ziyou didn't care about erasing his tracks. Borrowing the force of the recoil, he immediately flew out from the edge of the narrow stone platform. Snow swirled around him as he slowly floated down the peak.
The System followed him down the mountain. Against the howling wind, it asked, "You?"
What happened to taking a look?
Xie Ziyou was still in shock. He said anxiously, "What happened just now? Guan Heng saw me? "
The System was speechless.
What was this?
One of the three biggest illusions in life, was he looking at me?
The System lamented, "That's impossible. You, don't scare yourself."
"That hole is not even as big as a fingernail. Even if he really took a look, how could he recognize who was outside?"
Xie Ziyou clenched his teeth and looked up at the sky.
The peak was thousands of feet high. Under the rumbling shadow, it pierced through the clouds like a sharp blade.
Above it was a vast and boundless night sky. At this time, the thin fog was dissipating and the clouds were hidden. The dark night sky was filled with stars, clustered around a crescent moon in the middle. The moonlight was like water, clear and quiet.
The river of stars was resplendent and gently wrapped around the lonely peak like a fluttering ribbon.
"He saw me." Xie Ziyou said softly.
In that hasty glance, he clearly saw the stars in the young man's eyes. Just like the night sky in front of him, the thin clouds dissipated, revealing a vast expanse of diamond-like stars.
The young man opened his dry and cracked lips and mouthed something.
Xie Ziyou could not be more familiar with the shape of that mouth.
It was "You".
...
Xie Ziyou wanted to sneak a peek at the mountain in the middle of the night. If Guan Heng was safe and his injuries were recovering, he would be relieved.
However, after seeing him, he became more and more distracted and restless.
The young man walked down the mountain in a daze, stumbling and tripping. His thin shadow was even thinner under the moonlight, faintly reflected in front of him.
His face was hidden in the shadows. His body was surrounded by strange rocks and the lonely peak in the distance. His elegant white dress fell in the cold moonlight, looking very lonely.
He plucked the Ice Spirit Flower from his sideburns and held it in his hand. The crystal-like petals were pulled off one by one. Xie Ziyou frowned and murmured, "He saw me, he didn't see me, he saw me, he didn't see me..."
"You!" The System did not know whether to laugh or cry. "If you are so worried, why don't you go back and take a look?"
Xie Ziyou denied, "No."
If he was really recognized by Guan Heng, wouldn't there be more flaws if he went back?
"I'll help you take a look?"
"... There are no bees on the peak. You'll be a flaw if you go, okay?"
The System sighed helplessly, "I can't do this, and I can't do that. You, what do you think we should do?"
Xie Ziyou gritted his teeth and looked away.
His hasty eye contact with Guan Heng made him extremely flustered. In addition to being flustered, he was also a little embarrassed.
Xie Ziyou could not help but scold himself for being so useless. It was not his first time doing a mission. When did he become so timid and hesitant in front of the protagonist?
After a long silence, the teenager finally could not resist the torment in his heart. He turned around and said, "Forget it, I'll go and take a look. Just one look. This time, really just one look..."
The System smiled kindly and did not expose him.
After making up his mind to go back, Xie Ziyou's footsteps immediately became lighter. With a few light leaps, he was halfway up the mountain.
The teenager raised his head. The sparkling moonlight fell into his sapphire-like eyes and rolled up a ripple.
However, when he reached the peak this time, Xie Ziyou saw a tall Dark Shadow from afar. It was sneakily circling around the entrance of the cave.
Oh no!
He could not let anyone find out!
How could the pure and innocent Xie Xianzi of the Central Academy sneak into the forbidden area like a thief and secretly meet with a prisoner?
Xie Ziyou held onto his precarious image and hurriedly turned sideways to hide behind the nearest giant rock.
He listened for a long time, but his heart was itching. So, he held the rock wall with one hand and carefully poked half of his head out.
The Dark Shadow in the distance seemed to be very angry. It anxiously paced back and forth and did not pay attention to Xie Ziyou's movements.
Xie Ziyou pushed his hindering long hair behind his back. He narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the tall figure in the distance.
His back was tall and sturdy, and his side profile was handsome. However, there was a vicious look in his eyes.
"... Wu... Cong?"
What was he doing here?
Xie Ziyou was full of doubts. His brows gradually furrowed.
He could not think of a reason why Wu Cong would sneak up the mountain in the middle of the night.
But if Wu Cong did not leave, he could not go over to see Guan Heng …
Xie Ziyou was in a dilemma when the System suddenly exclaimed in his mind, "Oh no, You, the main character's life points have suddenly dropped!"
"If this goes on, Guan Heng will die!"
Thunder roared, like a bolt from the blue.
Xie Ziyou widened his eyes in shock, "What did you say?"
How could this be?
Wasn't everything fine just now?
His heart suddenly contracted, and his blood flowed faster.
Xie Ziyou's ears buzzed. He did not have time to think. His body reacted first. He suddenly stood up and stared at Wu Cong's angry figure in the distance.
He tapped his feet repeatedly, and his body was as fast as a flickering shadow. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Wu Cong, startling the young man who was originally in a daze.
"Junior Sister?!"
"Junior Sister, why, why are you here …"
Under the clear moonlight, the girl in the white dress was slim and elegant. Without the restraint of the flower hairpin at her temples, her ebony hair fluttered freely in the cold wind.
Xie Ziyou's eyes, which had always been cold and elegant, were filled with rage.
His emotions were surging, and he was dizzy from the sudden anger. He did not care about his character settings at all. He pointed at the young man and approached him step by step. His tone was sharp and almost interrogative.
"What did you do to him!"
