At noon the next day, a few hundred meters to the west of Xie Ziyou Xiaoyuan, close to the area where the ordinary students and teachers lived, a simple courtyard was being built at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The builder was a powerhouse of the earth element. He placed his hands on the ground, and yellow Xuan Qi came out of his palms. Accompanied by the whistling of the wind, the Xuan Qi flew like a snake and penetrated deep into the ground.
A deafening rumble came from the depths of the ground, and the flat ground was suddenly blown by the wind. Sand and stones flew, and blocks were piled up one after another.
In just a short time, the basic structure of the courtyard had been built.
After the foundation was built, the slightly exhausted earth element cultivator took a few steps back, and then the wood element cultivator immediately stepped forward. She waved her hand, and her sparkling fingertips drew a graceful arc in the air. Fine light dots floated from her palm, and slowly rose into the air like a fairy scattering flowers.
A fresh smell of grass and trees floated in the air, and the seeds of all kinds of flowers and trees were scattered from the cultivator's hand. They fell to the ground like the spring rain and took root.
"Done!"
The wood element cultivator was a beautiful and graceful girl, with a pair of slender eyebrows as beautiful as willow leaves, and a gentle smile. She looked back at Guan Heng, who was waiting quietly.
"The spirit seeds have been planted. In half a month, this place will be covered with green trees and flowers."
"I used the wood element of the five elements as the foundation to help you set up the Sun Wood Spirit Gathering Formation."
She smiled gently and affectionately, and her slender jade hand pointed to the center of the courtyard.
"That's the center of the formation. As long as you inject your Qi into it, you won't be stopped when you enter and leave the courtyard in the future."
"I specially left the open space in the center. When my water element sister comes back from outside, I'll ask her to help you dig a pond. The bottom will be connected to the running water of Si Yue Creek, plant some spirit lotuses, and catch a few golden carps — it will bring you good luck!"
Guan Heng smiled politely and bowed to the girl. Wensheng said, "Sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay, it's no trouble!" The girl replied with a smile.
She looked around without a trace, and seeing that there was no one around, she quietly approached Guan Heng. She bent down slightly, suddenly reached out, and stuffed a jade box into the young man's hand.
Guan Heng was baffled. He raised his head and looked at the girl.
The girl's eyes flickered as she blinked her eyes at the lid of the box.
Guan Heng suspiciously opened the lid of the box, and a fresh light green wood element profound energy immediately floated out. Inside the box were dozens of well-grown Crafty Butterfly Orchids that had been nourished by the Xuan Li.
The girl's thin lips opened slightly, and a very soft voice entered Guan Heng's ears.
"I heard that you needed this. Us sisters went to the back of the mountain overnight to pick it up. There aren't many of them, but it's a token of our appreciation."
Guan Heng's slender fingers paused on the jasper for a moment as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
The young man's eyebrows furrowed, but they quickly relaxed. He raised his head and smiled humbly. His attitude was gentle, but there was a faint sense of alienation.
"I am indeed in urgent need of this item. Thank you, Miss." He said in a clear voice, "Miss, if you have any needs, feel free to ask. I, Guan Heng, will do my best to help."
Hearing this, the girl raised her eyebrows, and a trace of joy flashed through her eyes.
She hurriedly pulled out a scroll from her sleeve. Her cheeks were flushed, and she tentatively handed the scroll to Guan Heng.
"Young Master Guan, for the sake of my wholehearted efforts — could you please sign your name on this page for me?"
Guan Heng was stunned.
He did not expect such a reaction from the other party.
He lowered his head slightly and saw that the girl was tightly holding the thin book in her hand. She was staring at him with watery eyes full of expectation.
"The Domineering Guan Shao Falls in Love with Me"?
What the hell is this?
Guan Heng took the scroll from the girl's hand and flipped through a few pages. He was immediately blinded by the unusually strange contents of the book.
The girl next to him was still secretly poking him. She rubbed her hands, faintly excited but forcibly restrained herself. Her voice condensed into a line as she asked, "Guan Shao, is there anything else — could you sign them for me?"
Guan Heng: "… Wait, is there anything else?"
The girl put her hand into her sleeve, fumbled for a moment, and pulled out a few thin books. She crumpled them into a ball and stuffed them into Guan Heng's hands.
Guan Heng casually flipped through the pages and saw a few large, flamboyant words on the cover: "Those Years, I Grew Mushrooms in Luo Ling."
The unfamiliar handwriting revealed a strange sense of familiarity. He could faintly smell the remnants of the ink.
Holding the thin pages, Guan Heng immediately understood. He shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Other than himself, the only person who knew about his experience in Luo Ling was his dear Youyou.
After sending the girl away with a few words, Guan Heng stood outside the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the courtyard that had already taken shape.
Under the blue sky, the array silently operated, enveloping the courtyard with a thin, transparent outer shell that was as thin as a cicada's wing.
The bright and beautiful sunlight shone through the invisible film, scattering into colorful lights that reflected in the youth's eyes. It was like scattered glass on the ground.
"… Youyou, are you helping me build momentum?" The youth held the jade box in his hand and muttered in a low voice.
These days, he had been receiving all kinds of gifts. The students still looked at him strangely, but they no longer looked at him with the same suspicion and rejection as before. Instead, they looked at him with fervent admiration and a hint of admiration.
Guan Heng almost thought that this was Wu Cong's scheme, but he didn't expect that the real source was here.
Youyou's pretty face appeared in his mind, and the corners of Guan Heng's mouth gradually rose. He couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
He could completely imagine Youyou's expression when doing these things. The youth's eyes must be glittering, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows would be like flames. He would frown and turn his head away, muttering something like "I'm not helping you." His long black eyelashes would flutter in guilt, and he would look up from time to time.
Guan Heng's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he imagined it.
He stood still for a long time, and finally reached into his bosom and slowly took out a piece of torn cloth.
It was a simple brown cloth with faint bloodstains on it. Guan Heng held it in his palm with great care. He pinched the corner of the cloth and slowly unfolded it, revealing a small piece of broken jade inside.
The jade was like bamboo, warm and delicate, and glowed like a blue lake under the sunlight.
Guan Heng walked to the center of the formation that Fang Cai had mentioned.
He carefully imprinted the aura of the jade into the center of the formation.
…
The day passed quickly, and the last rays of sunlight were covered by the dark blue night. The sparse stars climbed up the branches and lit up the slender buds with a glimmer.
The glimmer attracted the glimmer, and the glimmer awakened the glimmer. The ink-like night was quickly conquered by the glimmer, and the fine starlight converged into a winding and resplendent river. It was deep, vast, and endless.
Under the starlight, a tiny bee was shrouded in the darkness, and the buzzing of its wings was minimized as it quietly flew up into the sky.
After confirming that there was no one inside the wall, the bee turned around and left. A few seconds later, a Dark Shadow nimbly and elegantly flew over the eaves like a swallow. It climbed up the wall of the unfinished courtyard and lightly jumped over the wall.
The moonlight was like water, reflecting the white shadow of the person who came. Yingbai's skin faintly glowed with light.
Xie Ziyou looked slightly tipsy, and his cheeks were stained with two thin streaks of red. When he jumped, his waist was flexible and slender, and his ink-black hair was like sandalwood, fluttering in the wind like a black curtain.
He clutched the storage ring filled with Sly Butterfly Orchids and silently snuck into Guan Heng's courtyard.
The news that Guan Heng had been accepted as a disciple by the Dean had been suppressed by Wu Cong until today. His courtyard had just begun construction, so everything was very simple and crude, and he didn't have any servants to take care of it.
Xie Ziyou looked critically at the layout of the courtyard, and said to the System with dissatisfaction, "It's too lousy."
"Who built this? I'll give him a bad review! "
The System shook its head and smiled bitterly.
However, there were advantages to the simple courtyard. For example, at this moment, it made it easier for Xie Ziyou to find his target.
He aimed at the row of small pavilions in the center of the courtyard, and touched the only one lit with orange candlelight. He gently placed the jade ring on the ground.
The jade ring was a rare storage ring, and it was filled to the brim with a thousand Sly Butterfly Orchids.
Putting down the jade ring, Xie Ziyou condensed the Sly Butterfly Orchids in his palm, and silently slapped it on the ground.
The force of the impact sent the youth flying over the eaves with the help of the wind.
At the same time, a stone that Xie Ziyou had been holding in his hand was shot out by his fingers and shot at the door of Guan Heng. Metal and wood met, and in the silent night, there was an ear-piercing sound.
"Bang!"
Xie Ziyou immediately bent down and held his breath.
However, he held his breath for a long time, and even when his cheeks were slightly red, he still didn't hear the sound of the person in the room getting up and leaving.
What's going on?
Xie Ziyou frowned in confusion. His peach blossom eyes moved, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.
A breeze swept past, and the youth on the ink-colored tiles lay on the ground, and silently mouthed to the System, "He's not asleep, is he?"
The System leaned on his shoulder and softly replied, "Why don't you go in and take a look?"
"I'm not going," Xie Ziyou glared at the System and whispered, "I'm not stupid."
However, after lying on the ground for a long time, he couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart. He couldn't help but gather his clothes and stand up. The ice blue Sly Butterfly Orchids turned into wind, and the white figure's skirt fluttered as it slowly landed on the ground.
His white jade-like hand touched the door. Xie Ziyou clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and lightly knocked on the wooden door three times.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The candlelight in the room flickered, and the warm yellow light shone brightly.
Xie Ziyou's body flashed, and in an instant, his level seven cultivation reached its peak. He left behind an afterimage in front of the door, and in the blink of an eye, he had already retreated to the corner at the end of the corridor.
However, there was still no one.
There was only the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the room, causing the paper window to flutter and tremble.
Xie Ziyou shrank his head and pricked up his ears to listen for a long time, but still, Guan Heng didn't leave the room.
The candlelight in the room gradually calmed down, and the swaying flame flickered on the paper window. It seemed that the cluster of light just now was just a normal flicker of the flame stirred up by the wind.
It was quiet and secluded, and not a sound could be heard.
What was this person doing?
Xie Ziyou's mind was spinning, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. Could it be that Wu Cong saw that he couldn't suppress the protagonist, so he came to assassinate him with poison?
As soon as this thought appeared, the teenager's heart was stirred up. The alcohol that he drank earlier boiled in his heart, and then exploded. His blood surged, and he was filled with worry and fear.
In a moment of hot-bloodedness, Xie Ziyou didn't care about his identity anymore. He turned around in a panic, and his beautiful eyes were full of unease. His figure flashed, and he suddenly rushed to Guan Heng's door. He condensed the Xuan Li in his palm, and pushed it out!
The icy blue Xuan Li was as dazzling as the stars. How could an ordinary wooden door withstand his fierce attack? With a loud bang, it immediately broke into several pieces from the middle.
Then, the Xuan Guang twisted it, and it shattered into thousands of wood shavings, which fell down one after another.
Xie Ziyou jumped into the room.
However, the words "Guan Heng" were stuck in his throat. Suddenly, a slender and strong hand stretched out and accurately grasped his wrist!
Guan Heng's hand was warm and dry, and his palm was slightly warm.
His fingertips rubbed Xie Ziyou's slender wrist a few times, and immediately, Xie Ziyou's mind was disturbed.
His wrist was in that person's hand, and he couldn't break free for a moment. His seventh-level strength was immediately reduced to nothing. In the next second, the teenager's unique clean breath hit him in the face.
A pair of strong and powerful arms came from both sides, and Xie Ziyou was tightly held in an embrace.
"You!"
Guan Heng was laughing, and his voice was hearty and clear.
His head rested on Xie Ziyou's shoulder, and his hot breath blew on Xie Ziyou's ear.
The puddle of alcohol evaporated in an instant, turning into endless steam, and the hot steam rose up against the wind.
Xie Ziyou felt that his ears were turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye. The refreshing breath that came toward him was like a warm sun enveloping him, and it turned into a prison of heaven and earth, making it impossible for him to hide.
Finally hugging his beloved again, and smelling the familiar sweet fragrance of fruit, Guan Heng closed his eyes in satisfaction and sighed softly.
"You." The teenager chuckled softly. "Why are you only here now?"
"I've been waiting here … for a long time."
