The Big Devil vs. the Dark Villain

"Master, do you have any concerns? You can tell me and I will give you some advice."

Xuanyuan Huaixi saw his dilemma and asked him directly with concern, intending to strike while the iron was hot and solve the problem.

"My master observed your majesty's face and said that you might be in danger on your way back to the capital, so he asked me to keep an eye on you.

But I didn't find anything wrong, and he told me to listen to His Majesty when I was out, so I didn't know what to do. "

Nan Zhiyi was not a person who would hesitate, so he simply left the problem to the other party to solve and just followed their instructions.

"Why don't you live next door to me?

If there is something wrong, and you come to rescue us urgently, you shouldn't sleep on the floor, right?" Xuanyuan Huaixi said in a persuasive manner, pretending to help him pick up the things.

As a result, Nan Zhiyi picked up the things first, got up and went out without any hesitation, turned left, closed the door, and set up the barrier.

Obviously, he wasn't as conflicted as he said, nor was he very happy to be together.

Xuanyuan Huaixi withdrew his hand, looked at him and chuckled softly.

Suddenly his expression became serious, he stroked the hilt of his sword, and a thick bloodthirsty killing intent lingered around him. "I'm back. How's the matter going?"

"Your Majesty, the clues are broken. It may be related to Luo State."

The dark guard in black knelt respectfully behind him. He was on high alert because he could sense the danger. He even breathed carefully, fearing that he might upset him.

"Luo State... I heard that they have a very talented prince. It seems that they are unwilling to continue to be a vassal state of Chen State."

Xuanyuan Huaixi snorted unhappily, and the secret guard, unable to withstand his pressure, trickled out a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Keep checking. I don't want to hear such ambiguous answers next time. Got it?"

"Yes." As the voice faded away, the shadow of the secret guard disappeared from the place.

On the other side, after Nan Zhiyi entered the room, he opened the window and grabbed the palm-sized star beast that flew in from the window.

Grabbing its neck, he said, "Tell me, little guy, why did you follow me all the way?"

The Starry Sky Beast rubbed Nan Zhiyi's hand in a flattering manner, blinking its big, innocent and confused eyes.

"Master, don't you remember me? I am the Star Beast!

I was lost and just found you, please don't scare me." Then he sobbed.

"Master? I have never seen you before. When did I accept a useless little snack like you? I guess a monster can sneeze and blow you away. You are not even enough to be a snack for the monster."

Nan Zhiyi held him in front of her eyes, watching him sobbing, so pitiful. She felt inexplicably familiar with him and couldn't help but reach out and poke him.

As soon as you poke that side, it changes shape, becomes soft and chewy, and looks extremely funny, which makes me want to bully it even more.

"Woo woo~~, Master, you are not really sealing your memory, are you!?

Just because of an adult's words, this is too crazy!"

The Star Beast jumped twice with its short legs, but they were invisible under its fluffy fur. Finding that it couldn't reach his hand at all, it resigned itself to its fate and let him play with it, looking as if it had lost all desire to live.

Nan Zhiyi thought it was quite interesting, and she made the other person so angry that his eyes turned red from crying, then she stopped teasing him and put the ball in her palm.

I rubbed his hairy head with one finger and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

Starmon scratched his ear in confusion, "Just tell me that you want to seal your memory and come to find the adults.

Then let me wait until you come out of the mountain to find you, and don't worry about anything else."

“By the way, before you left, you said that there is no real empathy in the world.

But if I walked all the paths he walked, I would at least be closer to him.

When I want to persuade him to move forward, I won’t stand in the sun and ignore his pain.”

When Nan Zhiyi heard this, he said nothing. He put it on the tea table, supported his head with one hand and fiddled with it with the other.

Looking at the little animal, it seemed to be very close to me, so it shouldn't lie to me.

But I am a sword fanatic and have been living in Qishan. When did I find someone I like?

It is simply a fantasy that she can seal her own memory and follow the other person's footsteps for him.

It's so annoying. I feel like I need to grow a brain. Forget it, I can't figure it out. I'll just take it with me for now and I'll think about it later.

Practice, practice.

The barrier was triggered, with a series of tinkling sounds. Nan Zhiyi stood up with a cold face and opened the door.

Qi Yang, wearing a uniform, with a big sword on his waist and a fierce look on his face, was holding a candied haws stand in his hand, which didn't suit him at all.

There are still a lot of red and sweet candied haws left on the shelf.

Nan Zhiyi took two strings with a smile and handed the others back to him. "The rest, please ask Commander Qi to distribute to other friends who are traveling with you. I counted exactly 24 people. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you can forgive me."

Qi Yang, who originally had a casual and businesslike attitude, couldn't help but become serious when he heard his words and revealed a sincere smile.

There were only sixteen people walking outside, and the remaining eight were secret guards, hiding in the dark.

It seems that what happened before was not a coincidence, but this person is not as harmless as he appears. As long as he stands on your Majesty's side, the journey back and forth will be much easier.

"You are too polite, sir. It is our honor to receive your gift."

"Then I'll take my leave first." Qi Yang bowed and left in a hurry.

Nan Zhiyi smiled faintly and knocked on the door next to him. He believed that he would have to work with His Majesty for a long time in the future, so he still needed to build a good relationship with him.

A low and magnetic voice came from inside the door, "What's the matter?" Then the door was pushed open from the inside.

Nan Zhiyi wrinkled her nose, smelled a faint scent of blood, and looked at the future boss in confusion.

"What happened after I left just now? Is Your Majesty injured?"

He put two strings of candied haws together and wanted to go forward to show them to the other party, but he dodged sideways.

Only then did I suddenly remember that this person was different from my fellow disciples.

I guess they wouldn't like others to get too close to them, let alone such intimate actions as checking their wounds. Most of the things that happen during the day are out of helplessness.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I overstepped my bounds. The candied haws are here. Would you like to try some?"

Nan Zhiyi said as she handed one of the bunches to him, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him expectantly.

"I don't like these, you eat them." Xuanyuan Huaixi looked at the candied haws in front of him and suddenly found it attractive for some reason.

But I have never liked eating things that kids like, things that are too sweet, so I refused.

"Oh... well, it seems you won't have the chance to experience this delicacy. Then I'll bring you something else delicious and fun next time!"

Nan Zhiyi withdrew her hand with some regret, carefully peeled one, and ate it in small bites. It tasted sour and sweet, and her eyes brightened.
