Ying Luo chuckled, and pointed at the pond in front of them. Sure enough, a man had appeared over there. His back was facing the two of them, and his shirt had been taken off, revealing a large portion of his bronze-colored skin. He was quite tall, and his upper body formed a perfect inverted triangle. He seemed to be undoing his pants, and after a while, he pulled out a belt.
Clearly hearing Ying Luo suck in a cold breath, the corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She silently passed a handkerchief over. "Wipe off the nosebleed!"
"Ou." Ying Luo mechanically received it, however, she wiped off the blood on her face.
Did it have to be so exaggerated? Wasn't he still wearing his underwear?
Zhu Yao shook her head, and looked at that figure a little disdainfully.
Hmm, I'm not as tall as Master.
His skin wasn't as white as his master's.
His muscles weren't as sturdy as his master's.
Substandard product appraisal complete!
A large part of her curiosity from earlier had already disappeared, though Ying Luo's breathing grew more and more hurried, and her face looked like an infatuated fool. The hell, are you even drooling now? In any case, you're a goddess-like girl. Don't walk the strange idiotic path!
"He's the man you fancy?" A thought flashed in Zhu Yao's mind, as she asked.
Ying Luo was startled for a moment. Only when that man, whose back was facing them, had already submerged into the pool, and only his head was left, did he turn his head back, and gave her an embarrassed chuckle.
Damn, it really is that NPC called Ding Chunqiu.
"Isn't he the head of Point Formation Sect? Why are you here instead of greeting the other sects? "
"It's time for lunch break." Ying Luo said with a serious look. "The spiritual energy in this spring is abundant. Every afternoon, he would come to this mountain spring and soak for two hours."
"How did you know?" Zhu Yao sized her up for a moment. "Tell me honestly, just how long have you been lying here and secretly peeping at me?"
"Uh …" Ying Luo's expression stiffened, and a moment later, she replied. "Hoho, matters like this aren't important anymore."
"…" How is it not important?
"Actually, it hasn't been that long …" Her face flushed red as she stammered, "It's only been since he joined Point Formation Sect."
F * ck, it's been a few hundred years since then, right? How dare you say that not too long ago? You're obviously not a fool, you're committing a crime!
"Then why don't you just chase after him?" Zhu Yao rolled her eyes at her. She was the Palace Mistress of Forgotten God Palace in the past, and her position was second only to the Palace Master. Furthermore, she had a face like that, any rational man would find it hard to reject her, right?
Ying Luo scratched her head. "In the past, his cultivation level was low. I … I was afraid that it would affect his reputation, and now, even more so …"
She didn't want others to say that he relied on a woman to get to where he was, right?
Zhu Yao pouted, she did not really understand the thought processes of these people. In her opinion, matters of the heart were very simple. If you like someone, then you like him. Was the opinion of others that important? It's not like I've spent it with someone else. If the other half really valued something as illusory as reputation more than feelings, then it could only prove that she was blind. Next time, it would be better if she could see clearly. Why did he have to cower and torment himself?
"My girl Yu Yao, I just want to look at him from afar. Just treat it as helping me out." Ying Luo patted on her shoulder, and said with a heroic look. "At most, if you like any man in the future, I'll help you peek at him as well!"
"Scram!" Zhu Yao could not hold it in any longer, as she sent a kick over. This old lady's man doesn't need you to accompany me to look at him. She has already eaten him up, alright!?
"Aiya!" Ying Luo lost her balance, and her figure tilted. Adding that she had squatted for too long, her legs were a little numb. Unable to react in time, her feet slipped, and with a splash, she fell head first into the pool, causing a huge splash.
With such a loud sound, no matter how powerful their Aura-Concealing Talismans were, they would definitely be exposed.
As expected, a clear male voice sounded from the other side.
"Who?"
Zhu Yao reached out her hand, wanting to pull the girl and flee. However, the girl who was still struggling in the water earlier, upon hearing the question, was so frightened that she suddenly stood up, and loudly said. "We didn't peek at you bathing."
Zhu Yao: "…"
Ding Chunqiu: "…"
Ying Luo: "…"
I wonder if it's too late to pretend that I don't know her now?
A violent gust of wind blew, and in an instant, several wind blades attacked the two of them. Zhu Yao immediately waved her hand, materializing a defensive barrier. Then, she swiftly lifted the girl Ying Luo who was in the water up. The wind blades struck the surface of the water, causing a huge splash, which was blocked by the barrier in time.
"Who are you people?" The voice from earlier once again sounded. From the direction of the splash, a man dressed in black robes, who was clearly neatly dressed, was currently walking over.
Ying Luo stiffened for a moment. In an instant, with a swoosh, she hid behind Zhu Yao's back like a mouse.
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. You coward!
The splash of water fell, revealing the true appearance of the man who had his back facing them the entire time. Zhu Yao however was startled. She fiercely widened her eyes, and looked straight at him. The hell!
"Which sect are you people from?" The man looked at them. She did not know if it was her imagination, but a hint of shock actually leaked out from the depths of his eyes. A moment later, he said. "I wonder why the two of you have come to the back mountain of my Point Formation Clan?"
Zhu Yao did not speak, and simply stared at his face without blinking.
Ding Chunqiu could not help but frown a little unhappily.
"I …" Probably because Ying Luo had sensed Zhu Yao's abnormality, she nudged her from the back. Seeing that Zhu Yao still had no reaction, she anxiously decided to confess. "We … We didn't mean to … steal …"
"We're disciples of Forgotten God Palace, and we lost our way." Zhu Yao suddenly reacted, and began to lie through her teeth. Before she came here, she had long changed her appearance, and concealed her cultivation level. In the eyes of others, they were merely two Azoth Core disciples. "After walking for a while, we ended up here. We have disturbed Sect Master Ding, I hope senior can forgive us."
Ding Chunqiu once again looked at the two of them. A moment later, a hint of a courteous smile surfaced on his face, as though he had accepted their explanation. "So you're disciples of Forgotten God Palace. Speaking of which, Forgotten God Palace and I can be considered to have a rather deep relationship. The previous Palace Master of your esteemed sect and I … What a pity!" His eyes suddenly turned blank, as though he had recalled something, and he sighed.
Zhu Yao clearly felt the girl's hand, which was grabbing onto her clothes, tighten for a moment.
"Since the two of you don't recognize the terrain of this mountain, then follow me." As he said that, he turned around and made an inviting gesture, before leading the way at the front. His black robes still carried a little warmth, and there were still droplets of water dripping from his hair, yet, he looked indescribably warm and gentle.
However, Ying Luo could no longer hold it in, as she sent a voice transmission to Zhu Yao, crazily spamming the screen in her mind. "My girl Yu Yao, he remembers me, he actually remembers me as well!"
"Shut up!" Zhu Yao turned to glare at her, and casually cast an art on her to dry this scalding chicken. Only then did she pull her and follow after the person in front of her.
Looking at Ying Luo's infatuated expression, for no reason, a wave of anger began to rise in her heart.
That Ding Chunqiu led them to the front hall, pointed to the place where the disciples of the various sects and clans were staying for the tournament held by Forgotten God Palace this time, and then, he bid his farewell. He did not mention a single word about the two of them being rude and peeping on him earlier, looking like a gentleman.
Ying Luo's eyes looked at him the entire time, and even when he disappeared, the redness on her face did not fade.
In the end, Zhu Yao could no longer hold it in. Taking a step forward, she pressed onto her shoulders and pulled her back. "Ying Luo, if … If I tell you to give up on this thought, forget about him, and stay far away from him. Will you listen? "
"Ah?" Ying Luo was startled. She sized her up for a moment, and seeing that Zhu Yao did not have the slightest intention of joking, her heart sank, and she said in a fluster. "My girl Yu Yao, you … You can't have fallen for him as well, right?"
"Bullshit!" Zhu Yao glared at her. "How could this old lady fall for him!? Only a fool like you would treat him as a treasure. "Even if he gave her a dozen, she wouldn't even care, alright?
"Then why did you …"
"No matter what, in any case, the two of you definitely cannot be together."
"My girl Yu Yao …" She stared straight at her. Suddenly, as though she had thought of something, her eyes widened even wider. With a shocked expression, she said. "You … You can't have fallen for me, right?"
Zhu Yao raised her leg and kicked towards her. "Scram!"
"But why in the world?" Ying Luo rubbed her sore buttocks, looking confused. "At the very least, you have to give me a reason, right?"
"…" Zhu Yao sank into silence, the frustration in the depths of her heart grew even stronger. After a long while, she slowly said. "One day, you will be harmed to death by him."
She would really be harmed to death. Because in that scenario, she had once clearly witnessed that man leading the various sects to surround and attack the girl, and he even stabbed his sword into the girl's chest. Back then, even she could sense the desolation and despair Zhu Yao felt.
If the betrayal of the people was the reason for the girl's resentment, then that Ding Chunqiu was the fuse that triggered everything.
Previously, she did not understand why in the scenario the girl gave her, although she could understand everything, everyone's faces were unclear, except for that Ding Chunqiu. Only his face could be seen clearly in the plot. Looking at it now, it wasn't because that person gave her a fatal blow, but because that person occupied an important position in her life.

Ying Luo's refusal to answer her was within her expectations. No matter who it was, if they heard a sentence similar to how the adonis you have a crush on was trash, they would probably want to hang the other party up and beat them up. She should be glad that Ying Luo did not cut off all ties with her, and instead began to chat with her about the past.
"Yu Yao, you don't know, but we're different from other practitioners."
"Yu Yao, you don't know, but my life in the past wasn't easy. He's actually the same as me. We're the same type of people. "
"Yu Yao, you don't know, but from the very first day he entered the deity sect, I had already decided to do my best to help him."
"Yu Yao, you don't know, how hard it is for a person to live without any hope …"
Zhu Yao indeed did not know, but she knew, in the future, just how great of a price this silly child would have to pay for this trust.
"Ying Luo, then let me ask you. If one day, he objects to you searching for the mystic artifact, and tries his best to stop you from dealing with that Devil. What will you choose? "Zhu Yao only asked this one question.
"That's different. This is a huge matter in the world. No matter what, the matter with the Devil must be resolved." With a determined look, she said word by word.
