Another week passed, and the heavy rain continued. The clouds in Nan Dou's heart became heavier. Finally, he couldn't help but find a way to contact Xiao and asked him to check on the situation of all his students.

But this time he was gone for a full half month, and Nan Dou's bad premonition continued to grow.

Finally, Ling's ceremony ended successfully.

Nan Dou finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Ling, you stay here to adapt to the power of the power, don't go out, so as not to affect others, I have something to go out for."

"Okay teacher, I understand."

Even though Ling possessed the power of authority, he still respected Nan Dou very much.

"Huh, please don't be in any trouble..."

It is said that the stronger a person is, the sharper his intuition is, and the more accurate his predictions about what will happen in the dark will be.

Nan Dou just turned around and was about to leave when he saw a familiar figure in the distance and then froze in place.

"Teacher, why..."

Ling looked at Nan Dou who suddenly stood still, walked to his side, poked his head out to look at the figure, and then also stood still, muttering subconsciously: "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

The figure was none other than Xiao, whom Nan Dou had asked for help with half a month ago.

Xiao's figure flashed a few times before appearing in front of Nan Dou and Ling. He did not come empty-handed...

In Xiao’s arms, there was... a corpse.

The expression on Nan Dou's face was very cold and stiff. He stretched out his hand in disbelief, and he didn't even notice that his hands were shaking.

"what happened?"

"What happened, tell me?!"

The lifeless cold feeling coming from his fingertips gradually made Nan Dou's rationality disappear.

"Excuse me, please take a walk, Xiao."

However, Nam Doo immediately realized that he was in a bad mood and apologized quickly.

Xiao didn't care, instead he looked guilty: "I'm sorry, I couldn't save her."

Nan Dou took Ling Yun's body and listened to Xiao's account of what had happened with a complicated expression.

"..."

Let’s go back to more than half a month ago.

That day, Ling Yun said goodbye to Nan Dou and Ling without much disappointment in his heart, and soon devoted himself to the mission again.

Because of its high mobility, Lingyun usually carries out tasks such as collecting intelligence and rescuing comrades.

As usual, she received a mission to find a reconnaissance team that had been missing for a week.

But she didn't expect that she would never come back after this trip.

Of course, Ling Yun didn’t know this, but even if she knew, she would probably still make the same choice.

By the time Xiao arrived, Ling Yun had already reunited with the lost team and fled to the enemy's hinterland together.

That’s right, this enemy is the force of the Dream Demon.

Whether it was a coincidence or a long-planned plan, the result tells it all.

If Ling Yun had not keenly sensed the existence of the trap and escaped with the Lost Contact Team in time, they would have been surrounded by the enemy shortly after they saw the Lost Contact Team.

But the Dream Demon had already taken these into consideration, and their escape route was deep into the Dream Demon's territory.

Following the marks left by Ling Yun, Xiao followed the trail and eventually found Ling Yun and the lost team in a canyon deep in the Dream Demon God's territory. He also found the Dream Demon God himself.

When Xiao arrived, the Dream Demon tried to control the members of the lost team. In order to save her comrades, Ling Yun burst out with all her vitality and activated the Mark of the Flame of Rebirth at the cost of it, sending all the battle away with a strong wind, while she was left alone to face a powerful demon.

The Dream Demon was not in a hurry at all. His only goal from the beginning to the end was Ling Yun. He clearly remembered how angry and sad Nan Dou was when Xiaoguang died.

In that case, if Ling Yun, who is also a student of Nan Dou, died, Nan Dou would definitely not feel good.

In that case, Nan Dou would be able to feel the same pain as him, the pain of losing a close friend!

That's what happened. Xiao was eventually a step too late. After fighting off a move from the Dream Demon, he rushed back with Ling Yun's body.

……

After hearing the whole story, Nan Dou clenched his fists slightly, then loosened them weakly.

"Huan Meng, the next time we meet will be the day you die. I don't owe the Butterfly Demon any more."

Nan Dou's eyes were sharp, but he did not let hatred and anger affect his heart.

It was then that Nandou noticed a long, deep wound on Xiao's right arm.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao. Now it's my grudge against Huan Meng."

Nan Dou healed Xiao's injuries and ordered him to leave in a calm tone.

"No, I didn't get there in time. It's my fault that I couldn't save Ling Yun."

"Besides, the Dream Demon God has a deep hatred for our Yaksha clan. In order to strengthen his own strength, he often attacks the weaker Yakshas."

"Count me in on the fight against Him!"

Xiao refused to leave and found various excuses to seek revenge on the Dream Demon.

Nan Dou tried to persuade him several times, but found that he couldn't persuade him, so he let him go. After all, he would not lose out by having a powerful helper.

"But the demon is very powerful, so we must be prepared. Please wait for a while..."

Nan Dou and the other two buried Ling Yun next to Xiao Guang.

Nan Dou stood in front of the tomb in silence for a long time, and whispered to Ling beside him: "I don't want to lose you again, Ling. You can say that the teacher is selfish, but if it is not necessary, don't sacrifice yourself to save others."

"There are too many people who need to be saved, and you can't save them all. The strong can die for the weak, but sometimes the survival of the strong can save more weak people."

"Xiao Guang and Ling Yun originally had the potential to become immortals, but they both died early, and their talents became meaningless."

"I don't judge what they did, I'm just a teacher who doesn't want to see any more of his students die."

Ling had a complicated expression. Although she looked cold on the surface, she was actually a warm-hearted person.

But you can't ask a snake to look enthusiastic, or a white snake that looks cold.

"Teacher, I will protect myself well."
