After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

"You've been too close to him lately."

Helan Yanli said solemnly, as if stating an indisputable fact, and moved closer to Helan Zhi.

Although she did not explicitly state the name and only referred to him as "he", He Lanzhi instantly understood her hidden meaning.

However, he still chose to play dumb: "He is my junior fellow apprentice, so it's understandable that we have a closer relationship, right?"

Helan Yanli shook her head, her narrow fox eyes narrowed slightly, like a crescent moon: "It's not that simple, I can sense that you treat him differently."

"If you don't want him to join your camp, it's best to keep your distance from him. Otherwise... think about what kind of situation he will face if you fail."

He Lanzhi fell silent. He didn't want Xingxing to join his forces and get involved in this mess. Even he himself... wasn't sure of success.

If he fails, the stars that are closely related to him may be in danger...

After all, he is also a fox and knows the nature of foxes very well. If he becomes the head of the family, he will definitely eliminate the forces and cronies of other foxes, adhering to the principle of rather killing someone by mistake than letting them go.

Helan Yanli gave the reminder out of kindness, as well as for Xingxing's own good.

"Okay, I understand." He Lanzhi's voice was a little low. It seemed that making this decision was an extremely difficult thing for him.

Helan Yanli looked at him and couldn't help but sigh. If he wanted to pursue higher power, he must have the determination to abandon everything.

Even if He Lanzhi had no choice but to do so, since this was the case, she should have gone all out instead of being hesitant like she is now.

Helan Yanli looked at him and said solemnly: "Although I asked you to keep a distance from him, you can't be too distant. You must strike the right balance."

"Don't forget, you have to pretend to be a lustful person now, and you can't control yourself when you see a beautiful woman. With his appearance, how could you not have any reaction after seeing him?"

"So treat him like any other human you approach. Just tease him occasionally."

He Lanzhi felt more and more uncomfortable. Xingxing was indeed extremely beautiful. Although she was still young and had not fully grown yet, one could tell at a glance that she was a beauty.

What Helan Yanli said was true. Given his current disguised personality, it was impossible for her not to tease him.

But... to Lai, Xingxing is special. He really doesn't want him to be treated the same way as other human beings. This is totally unacceptable to him.

Seeing his hesitation, Helan Yanli moved closer to him and looked directly into his eyes. There seemed to be stars twinkling in those fox eyes:

"You definitely don't want other foxes to notice... your specialness for him, and then use his life to threaten you and hinder your great cause, right?"

"In this way, not only will we be in danger, but he who is so special to you will also be forced to be involved. He has no idea about this, but he has to suffer all this persecution. Is this what you want to see? What do you want to see?"

After hearing his words, He Lanzhi finally made up her mind, but it was as if her throat was strangled, and she uttered a tiny and weak voice: "Okay, I will do it immediately."

.....................

Lu Xingchen didn't know why, but he always felt that his senior brother Helan's attitude towards him had changed a little in recent days, and seemed to be a bit frivolous and inexplicable.

However, he did not care too much about it. Just when he was about to return after finishing the sword-fighting competition with his senior brother from Duanjian Peak, the senior brother who had competed with him blocked his way.

Lu Xingchen was full of doubts, but he still asked with a smile: "Brother, do you... have anything else to say?"

The senior brother seemed a little hesitant, but finally spoke:

"Well... I remember He Lanzhi is your senior brother from the same peak. I wonder if you can help me persuade him. If he doesn't like it, he should not mess with our junior sister. The junior sister..."

The senior brother stopped talking at this point, and just looked extremely serious: "Anyway, I hope Junior Brother Lu can persuade him. You are in the same peak, so even if your relationship is not good, it is not too bad. I believe your persuasion will be more effective than ours."

Then, he seemed to feel that his words were a little blunt, and added: "I don't mean to blame you. You and your brother, we can still tell the difference. I just want to ask you for this favor."

Is his relationship with Senior Brother Helan...good? Will his persuasion really be effective? Or...is Senior Brother Helan really as he described?

"I understand." Lu Xingchen forced a smile, "I will have a good talk with him."

"That's good." Seeing that his attitude remained the same and he showed no dissatisfaction, the senior brother breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, junior brother."

"It's okay. This is what I should do." Lu Xingchen still kept smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes.
