The girl and her brother and sister dressed up to attend and waited in front of the square. After listening to a lot of rhetoric, the clan leader said: "As descendants of the Bai family priests of the Temple of Time, we should abide by the clan rules."

The whole clan chanted: "One day I am a member of the Bai family, and my whole life I will be loyal to the spirit of time. I will keep this in my heart."

After the clan meeting was over, everyone went back to their homes. The night was getting cooler and the night was quiet. The girl was wrapped in a quilt and tossed and turned on the bed. Then she opened her eyes, got up and moved to the window, looked up at the starry night sky, and thought: He is

Who? Why do you live in that ruins? It’s so dark there and there are ferocious ancient beasts. Isn’t he afraid? If he hadn’t brought me out today, I might have died there. I should thank him.

The next morning, the girl prepared some food, put it into a box, and put it into a storage bag. She sneaked out of the courtyard and came to the ruins. She walked to the stone crevice with ease and called out softly: "

are u there……"

The girl walked in with a night lantern and found that there was no one in the secret room. She looked back in despair and saw the executor behind her. The girl was startled. The executor was very tall, and he was only one meter tall when he looked down.

The girl, who was about four or five years old, was silent. The girl calmed down her mood and smiled awkwardly: "I thought you weren't here anymore. I'm here today... Thank you for taking me out that day! I also brought some food for you

You!" The girl hurriedly took out the food box from the storage bag and handed it to him. But the executor remained indifferent and did not take the food box.

The girl felt very embarrassed and said: "Are you a temple protector? Do you not want outsiders to come to this temple? Please listen to my explanation... I also discovered this ruins accidentally. I just like to study the ruins of the age of the gods.

It’s those ancient inscriptions on the stone walls... I want to come here every day, I won’t break into that place again, I will just take a look at the outside, okay..."

The executor still did not respond, so the girl continued: "I will not destroy the temple! I am a descendant of the deputy priest of the Time Spirit Temple in the Age of Gods. My entire family believes in the gods and will not do anything extraordinary related to the gods.

!I promise!"

The executor thought deeply. He didn't expect that there are still people in this world who believe in the spirit of time. The executor nodded. The girl was very excited and said with a smile: "Really! Thank you! My surname is Bai, and my single name is Lu. Nice to meet you!"

"

The executor has never liked children because they are too noisy, and many young children used to be scared to tears when they saw him, but now he looked at her smile blankly. In so many years, she was the first

He didn't hate the smile of a person who smiled at him, and silently wrote down her name.

Day after day, year after year, four years later——

Bai Lu, who is eighteen years old, goes to the temple ruins every few days whenever she has free time to study the ancient texts on the stone walls. She has known the Executor for four years and has never known who he is or what his name is.

, and didn’t even speak. Bailu thought about various situations, whether it was because he couldn’t speak, so he was abandoned by his family here. She found that he was always elusive, and sometimes he was not seen for several days in a month.

, out of respect, she never asked anything about him, including his name.

'Do you want to take him back? Will the tribe object if you suddenly bring a stranger back? Although we have known each other for four years, would it be too abrupt to tell him like this? He doesn't seem to be willing to get close to people.' Bai Lu was thinking.

"And I usually give him things, but he doesn't confiscate them. Is it because I don't get rewarded for nothing? Hmm... I don't think about it anymore. It's my coming-of-age ceremony in a few days. I have to practice magic well and I can't lose my father's face."

.'

Bai Lu picked up a dead branch and drew the magic circle described in the ancient books on the soil in the open space. This magic circle was not new, but he had learned it for a long time. He didn't know if he had drawn it wrong or remembered it wrong.

After studying it for so long, it still hasn't taken effect. Bai Lu is very troubled by this.

The morning sun was shining brightly, and the executor appeared quietly behind her. He looked at her serious study of magic, and then looked at the magic circle she drew on the ground. He could tell at a glance what magic circle she was drawing.

Seeing something was wrong, he leaned over and took the branch from her hand. Bailu turned around and realized that he had appeared silently again.

The executor directly crossed out the magic circle, because he knew that Bai Lu was drawing a magic circle of forbidden magic. Because forbidden magic was too dangerous and required a price, its use was strictly prohibited in the age of the gods, and now is no exception.

"oops

, why did you cross it out? I have been drawing it for a long time. Forget it." Bai Lu sat on the marble, holding his face in his hands, looking very dull, as if he was worried about something.

The executor was confused, but never asked.

"I won't be coming over in the next few days." After a while, Bai Lu said hesitantly: "Well... it will be my adult ceremony in a few days. The family will hold a banquet and invite guests to come and bless you...

You are one of my few friends, and I want to invite you..."

Bai Lu felt so stupid, actually expecting a reply, and finally smiled reluctantly: "Okay... you don't like to be close to people, so I won't force you."

The executor knew that Bai Lu had wanted to take him out to the public a long time ago, but she didn't force him. He thought for a long time and still couldn't figure out why she kept coming here to look for him, even if everyone else saw him.

He was so scared that he ran away. It was clear that his past self had made up his mind not to have contact with outsiders, because he would not die, and other people's lifespans were limited. If they spent more time together, others would discover his weirdness.

He would regard him as a monster. But since he met her, everything has changed. He avoided her at first, but she found him all the time. From hiding his heart to wanting to see her, his mood was very complicated. As time went by, he did not

To resist her, except for those few days in recent years, I did not hide the rest of the time, but stayed with her.

"After the coming-of-age ceremony, I will go to the border to fight against the barbarians as a training exercise. It will take five years before I come back."

The executor who heard these words was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, feeling very complicated. Then he saw his own hair, lifted a strand, summoned a short saber, cut off a small hair, and put away the saber.

, then took off an earring, held the strand of hair and the earring in the palm of his hand, used the magic of creation to make it into a braided bracelet, and handed it to Bai Lu.

Bai Lu saw a dark purple crystal hanging on the bracelet. He raised his hand and took the bracelet. His eyes were attracted by the dark purple crystal and he asked blankly: "Is it for me?"

The executor nodded. Bailu liked the gift very much and said happily: "Thank you!"

The executor looked at her with a smile on her face, and his heart that had not beaten for a long time began to beat. He tried to open his heart to accept the present world. He remembered his former name. He thought about it for a while and said slowly: "Ruiye."

The low and hoarse voice was full of magnetism, with a hint of gentleness in it, and reached Bai Lu's ears. Bai Lu immediately looked up at the expressionless executor and asked in surprise: "You spoke!? Turns out you can speak!"

"

"..."

"Ruiye?"

"Well, my name."

…

Of the three Yuanke people watching, only Qingluo watched seriously.

Qing Luo said in surprise: "The short saber in his hand just now is exactly the same as the saber that Jingtian always carries! Is it the same one? Jingtian is so powerful, he can actually use the weapon of the executor!"

Mo Ziyan said cheerfully: "Don't be surprised first. If you look carefully at the back, you may find more."

After hearing what Mo Ziyan said, Qingluo was even more looking forward to what happened next.

…

A few days later, on the day of Bailu's coming-of-age ceremony, the Bai family held a banquet, and all the invited families sent representatives, including the Ting family and the Yeyue family, who share the same ancestry with the Bai family.

The ancestors of the three families are the three deputy priests of the Temple of Time. The Yeyue family is in charge of the ability to predict, the Ting family is in charge of the power of protection, and the Bai family is in charge of ancient books and documents.

Bai Lu attended the event dressed up and followed her mother to meet guests from various ethnic groups. She didn't realize Ruiye was looking at her. He used his invisibility magic to stand on a high tower not far away and looked at her dressed up.

"Alu!" a woman called.

Bai Lu turned around and saw an acquaintance. He walked over and gave her a big hug and said with a smile: "A Ying! You are here!"

Zhiying smiled sweetly, "Yes, my father and brother have important matters, and my mother has been in poor health in recent years, so I am the only one here at home! And this is your coming-of-age ceremony. As your good friend, I

, can you not come?”

Bailu noticed that there was a man behind Zhiying, hummed, and asked with a smile: "Aying, who is this young master?"

"He...he is mine" Zhiying looked at the man behind her, lowered her head and blushed, hesitating.

said.

Seeing Zhiying's reaction, Bailu naturally saw the fishy relationship between them and said, "Huh? Let's do it from the ground up?"

"It's the one I love..."

Seeing Zhiying's shy look, the man behind him gently took her hand and said to Bai Lu, "My name is Jing Yan, and I am her future husband."

Bai Lu looked at Jing Yan, frowned slightly, and asked in a questioning tone: "Don't you know the Yeyue Clan's past clan rules?"

"You know, I will protect her."

Bai Lu smiled with satisfaction and said: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I'm not like those old antiques! I support you."

"Thank you, Alu. After today, I don't know when I will see you in the future. After all, I have to go to the border to experience for so long.

"Oh, I'll be back soon. After I get back from training, I'll go find you! Is it a deal?"

“It’s a deal!”

Jing Yan and Zhiying noticed the bracelet on Bai Lu's hand, and Zhiying asked: "Is this a bracelet woven with thousands of threads? This crystal is so beautiful."

"You think it looks good, too. This is a gift from a friend I've known for four years."

Jing Yan naturally saw that this bracelet was special. Qiansi was not human hair, and the dark purple crystal was condensed with spiritual power. From these clues, he could guess who the friend Bai Lu was talking about was.

God Clan, he asked: "I wonder if you can introduce him to me?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, he doesn't like to interact with others."

"Well, I took the liberty."

Ruiye saw the interaction between Jing Yan and Zhiying in the distance, and said silently: "The love between gods and humans is obviously impossible. What's more, the other party is a member of the precognition clan, and you are a member of the precognition clan.

Lord God, this love is fruitless."

Ruiye said this to Jing Yan, and Jing Yan could naturally hear it. He could feel that the other party's spiritual power was the same as that of the dark purple crystal. He frowned slightly and responded via voice transmission, "Don't try it.

How do you know the result? You are the friend Bai Lu mentioned." The guess in Jing Yan's mind has already got an answer, "The black hair and dark purple spiritual power represent the thunder element, but your spiritual power shows

It's the earth element. You are a demon of the demon clan. You can invade my spiritual sea. No demon I know can do that. Who are you?"

"Whoever you believe in, I am his betrayer. Don't try to tell them, just treat me as dead."

The sound transmission was interrupted, Jing Yan looked around, only to find a black shadow disappearing on the high tower.
To be continued...
