In the silent woods, no one expected to witness this scene.

The cold wind blows off the leaves, the heat in the belly dissipates, and reason returns.

Ning Ji looked a little ugly. After seeing the appearance of the two people at this time, it only took him a moment to figure out what had just happened.

Chu Jinxiao didn't know that he was trapped by Long Dan, but he still helped him...

"Master?"

Seeing that he suddenly woke up and had a cold expression on his face, Chu Jinxiao was a little panicked.

The young man was still immersed in emotion, and his Qingmei face looked a little depressed, but now he was completely panicked.

Ning Ji opened his eyes, put on his clothes and stood up.

"This ends today's affairs."

His voice was cold, and the cold face under the moonlight disappeared, returning to its former majestic appearance, as if it was just a trivial accident.

Even... now that the ends of his eyes are slightly red.

Chu Jinxiao was startled and tightened his hand.

"Master, respect me..."

He wanted to say something else, but Ning Ji didn't listen anymore. He just paused after finishing speaking and turned around to leave.

Ning Ji was not actually calm on the surface when he got up. He was also very complicated in his heart. He knew that Chu Jinxiao could not be entirely blamed for this incident.

The Ancestral Dragon Inner Alchemy has a fatal attraction for the Dragon Clan. When Chu Jinxiao came in, he happened to catch her in love, so the two of them accidentally lost their composure.

But an accident is an accident.

He had never had such a moment before. Reason told Ning Ji that he should stop.

He tightened his grip on the sword and slowly lowered his eyes, calming his expression.

The white figure has left, but the woods are still quiet.

In order not to be noticed, several people held their breaths by mistake, even the always wanton Lou Weiyan did the same.

Ning Ji's appearance just now kept replaying in his mind.

He stroked the long knife, his eyes deepened, and he felt an itch in his heart... an itch that he had never known before.

This is what Ning Ji looks like under the mask.

When he thought of the beautiful swordsman who had blocked him with a sword, he felt as if something had become strange when he looked at that person.

He was not the only one who felt this way. Kong Ling was even more shocked than Lou Weiyan.

He didn't expect to see Chu Jinxiao suppressing Ning Ji today.

In the past few days, he had been getting along with him, and he had always felt that A Chu was different from what he imagined.

The closer he got to him, the more he felt that the young man with red makeup who caught the demon in the inn when they first met that day was just who he thought he was.

But even so, he never thought that this scene would happen.

——The young boy who was as smooth as jade finally showed his fangs.

As for the sword master who is aloof and ruthless when wielding his sword, no one thought that he would be like this when he was in love under his mask.

When Ning Ji was lying in the cold pool, his sword bones were clearly strong, but the red mark at the end of his eyes could make people... secretly withered.

His heartbeat seemed to be speeding up, and Kong Ling was rarely at a loss.

The vague shadow in my heart gradually surfaced under the stimulation of this scene.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

Su Fengyan glanced at Ning Ji's back, tightened his hands and hid in the darkness.

No one knows what he is thinking.

The sky was getting brighter, and Xie Yuqing couldn't calm down even now after withdrawing his spiritual consciousness.

Wu Gang didn't know what happened last night. After coming in for a long time, he saw that the host was still in a daze, so he couldn't help but pour a cup of hot tea.

"Owner? What happened?"

His voice broke the silence in the room.

Xie Yuqing suddenly came to his senses, shook his head, and when he took the hot tea, his hand shook and spilled it.

Warmth splashed on the back of his hand, and he slowly came back to his senses.

"Master, what are you thinking about?" Wu Gang was a little confused. He thought that he was so distracted just now that it was surprising enough, but he didn't expect that the poster didn't come back to his senses until now.

He has never seen the landlord like this.

Xie Yuqing tightened his hands and raised his head.

"nothing."

He just couldn't get over what happened last night.

The image of Ning Ji's mask falling came to mind.

Xie Yuqing's brows suddenly paused.

At this moment, someone outside made a report.

"Thank you sir, the mountain bell is ringing."

When the mountain bell rings, something big must happen, and at this time, it is related to the demon clan.

Even if Xie Yuqing felt a slight pause in his heart, he could only suppress it for the time being.

"I see."

…

Ning Ji's health has improved a lot since he went back to adjust his breathing last night. At least Long Dan stayed peacefully today and did not come out to cause trouble when he made a breakthrough.

He put on the ghost mask again, sat on top holding the sword, and nodded slightly when he saw Xie Yuqing coming over.

At this time, Ning Ji didn't know that he was being watched by people last night. He didn't even know that Xie Yuqing had seen his face under the mask, and he only behaved as usual.

As soon as Xie Yuqing saw him, he couldn't help but think of yesterday's scene, and felt uncomfortable for a moment.

That lonely and beautiful face seemed to be still in front of me. His gentle face was a little dazed, but he quickly covered it up.

Ning Ji didn't notice Xie Yuqing's change, and just said: "I just received news that the disciples sent by the other sects to reinforce will not arrive for another day."

"The demon army is speeding up its march today, and I'm afraid it won't be long before it reaches Yunzhou."

Yunzhou is a city affiliated to the Yuqing Sect. When you arrive in Yunzhou, you will soon reach the mountain gate of the Yuqing Sect.

The situation was urgent, and several people were a little worried.

Ning Ji had already expressed his relief last night. Long Dan's feelings have been suppressed in the past few days, and now is a good time to break through.

"All disciples of Yuqing Sect guard the mountain gate."

He turned to look at Xie Yuqing.

"Thank you, Master, if you can protect me?"

Breaking through the protector is an extremely private matter in the world of cultivation. Because it involves the inheritance of skills, it is usually done by members of the same sect.

Among the people present, the only ones who can protect Ning Ji are Yao Mu, Qin Yinnian and Chu Jinxiao.

But the demons were about to attack at any time. As the masters of the peak, Yao Mu and Qin Yinian both had to lead their disciples, leaving only Chu Jinxiao.

Qin Yinnian originally thought that the Sword Lord would ask Chu Jinxiao to protect the law. Chu Jinxiao happened to be his disciple, but who knew that he actually chose the master of Guyue Tower.

Chu Jinxiao couldn't help but raise his head, and everyone was a little surprised.

Ning Ji's decision was actually not complicated. He just didn't want to repeat what happened last night.

What's more, after the misunderstanding last night, both of them should calm down in the past few days.

His eyes were cold, and Chu Jinxiao's heart tightened.

The young man's handsome features were somewhat sad, and he couldn't bear to look at Qin Yinnian.

But Ning Ji remained unmoved, he just calmly gave instructions.

"You lead a group of disciples to guard the north side of the mountain gate."

"yes."

After Chu Jinxiao came out to receive the order, he raised his head, paused again and said:

"The disciples will guard the north gate."

"Master, you should also take care of yourself."

Because of what happened last night, his dragon scales were not given away.

Chu Jinxiao knew that the master would not hold back at this time. His waist and abdomen were still tingling. He tightened his hands slightly and smiled.

Ning Ji frowned and looked at him..
