Zhu Minglang glanced at Nan Lingsha's painting under the ancient tower.
She was painting Red Lotus City. Even though she was only using the simplest ink, it felt like she had drawn out the beauty of the city.
The second painting was blank, but judging from the handprints, she must have drawn something. The outline of the object was similar to the Qilin Dragon she was riding.
The third painting was even stranger.
No matter how hard Zhu Minglang tried, he could not tell what she was painting. It was as if his eyes were covered by a layer of mist. He could only see the painting after reaching a higher level.
"Dragon Painter …" Zhu Minglang mumbled to himself.
Nan Lingsha's cultivation was higher than Zhu Minglang had imagined. Li Yunzi had already given Zhu Minglang a shock by riding on a sword in the Star River. He did not expect his sister Nan Lingsha's cultivation to be so impressive, too!
Zhu Minglang sat down on a chair and picked up the cup beside him. He did not even have time to take a sip of water after traveling so far.
The incident at Clear Flow River City was simply too strange. When Zhu Minglang arrived there, the three teachers were all dead. If not for the fact that the senior teacher was delayed by Junior Sister Yang, he would have been killed as well.
Of course, Zhu Minglang was still scared.
Luckily, he had arrived a little later. Otherwise, he might have been killed too. Most mentors would not have a chance to survive a demon spirit with a cultivation of over three thousand years …
What Zhu Minglang could not figure out was why a demonic spirit of such a level would wreak havoc in human territory during winter. Or was the demonic spirit a cannibal in the first place? Like the Vine Rat Wolf Demon, it specialized in eating dragon shepherds!
Being a mentor was equally dangerous. The enemy was not even on the same level. He wondered if Nan Lingsha would be able to handle it …
"Huh? Why does this cup taste so sweet …" Zhu Minglang took a sip of the water.
Zhu Minglang suddenly realized that the cup of water was not meant for him. He had only drunk it because he was too tired and thirsty.
Sin, sin.
Zhu Minglang hurriedly looked around and found an unused bamboo cup. Only then did he go to the well to get a cup of water to drink.
When they finally had some rest, a bunch of pseudo-dragons appeared above the forest. They were all in fancy clothes, clearly not on the same level as the poor dragon shepherds.
They landed in front of the ancient pagoda in an orderly manner. At first, they showed a respectful and careful look, but when they saw that the person sitting in front of the table was actually Zhu Minglang, their faces were filled with confusion.
"May I ask if Elder Sister Nan Lingsha is overseeing this place?" A young disciple of the Nan Family asked.
"Zhu Minglang?" Nan Ye walked over quickly and looked at him in surprise.
The canvas was there, and so were some bamboo vases. Even the jacket to keep out the cold was hanging at the side. Nan Lingsha was clearly here to keep watch. Why was Zhu Minglang here too?!
"Oh, oh, Nan Lingsha asked me to take her place here," Zhu Minglang explained.
Nan Ye stared at Zhu Minglang suspiciously.
He had just seen him whispering to Li Yunzi in the willow woods not long ago, and now he had stumbled into him at Nan Lingsha's painting place. Besides, there was no one else in the ancient pagoda. It was a perfect place for a rendezvous.
"You're Zhu Minglang?" the young man called the Dragon Hound said with a hint of disdain.
"Yeah, I'm the substitute teacher now. I'm overseeing the Red Lotus City. Just report to me if you have any problems," Zhu Minglang said.
"Humph, who do you think you are? You think you can take my place?" The young man seemed to dislike Zhu Minglang very much.
Recently, Zhu Minglang had already gotten used to this sort of baffling rejection from others. After all, the story of two people falling in love at first sight had spread everywhere. There were too many people like this Nan youth in front of him who hated him to the core.
Zhu Minglang was not bothered by it.
He who wanted to wear the crown had to bear the weight of the crown. If there was anything worse, they could just throw it at him. After all, he was Zhu Minglang. So what!?
"So are you going to tell me or not? If you're not going to tell me, don't disturb my peace and quiet," Zhu Minglang said calmly.
"We're looking for Sister Lingsha," the timid young man from the Nan Clan said.
"She went to deal with a demon creature with a cultivation of three thousand years. That's why I'm here as her substitute teacher," Zhu Minglang explained.
"Substitute teacher? Hehe, I would like to see if you have the ability to take her place as the overseeing teacher. Nan Ye, tell him that we're after the demon spirit, "the young man with the Dragon Hound said.
"Brothers, please take a rest at the well. I'll tell Zhu Minglang everything," Nan Ye was no longer as arrogant as before. Nan Ye was no longer as arrogant as he used to be. Perhaps the brothers he followed were more capable than him.
The few of them went to the well. While drawing water, they also fed some food to the flying pseudo-dragon.
Nan Ye glanced at Zhu Minglang with a strange look …
If Zhu Minglang and Li Yunzi were really in love with each other, Nan Ye would have to call Zhu Minglang his brother-in-law.
If he were to have anything to do with Nan Lingsha, Nan Ye believed that he would never be able to raise his head in front of Zhu Minglang again.
"Was the person in the Sky Willow Woods really Sister Yunzi?" Nan Ye was still suspicious.
As a matter of fact, Nan Ye's first impression was that the person was Nan Lingsha. Even though he had not seen Li Yunzi many times, it was impossible for him to mistake his cousin, Nan Lingsha. Besides, judging from the way she was dressed, it was definitely Nan Lingsha.
"Your sister, you're asking me??" Zhu Minglang said unhappily.
"Then it's not Sister Yunzi. I told you, Sister Yunzi doesn't even remember my name," Nan Ye said softly.
"I have something to ask you too, your sister …"
"Let's talk about the Demon Soul. You saw it too, Nan Zhaobing is biased against you. He used to visit the Li Clan all the time and find all kinds of excuses to enlist in the army just to be closer to Li Yunzi …" Nan Ye said.
"I know, he's just jealous of me," Zhu Minglang said.
"Everyone in Zulong City hates you now," Nan Ye said.
"Alright, let's talk about the Demon Soul. If it's a Demon Soul over two thousand years old, you should just give up. Three lecturers were killed by a Demon Soul not long ago," Zhu Minglang said.
Nan Ye was astounded. He did not expect his lecturers to lose their lives in the mission to eliminate the demon beasts, not to mention three lecturers in a team!
