Xie Ziyou’s ten fingers suddenly clenched.

The wind on the peak was terrifyingly cold, whistling as if it was a ghost’s cry.

The hard pebbles pierced deeply into his palms. The young man in the white dress half squatted on the ground, his entire back collapsed into an unbearable line, like a cat that had met its natural enemy.

He stared fixedly at the faint golden light dots dancing in the cave, and an extremely sour and anxious impulse surged up in his heart for no reason.

His heart raced, his blood flushed.

His meridians throbbed in his ears, his heart surging, the sound of his trembling momentarily suppressing all the surrounding noises.

He really wanted to shoot the pebbles out.

He really wanted to throw caution to the wind, shoot down that annoying buzzing butterfly!

Separated by a wall, Guan Heng seemed to be connected to Xie Ziyou’s mind. The paralyzed Guan Heng lowered his head and slowly raised his right hand —

“Smack!”

The loud smacking sound reverberated in the cave, lingering on the quiet peak.

“…”

Xie Ziyou’s eyelids twitched.

The indignant thumping in his chest stopped abruptly.

He couldn’t tell what he was feeling. He could only turn his head sluggishly and stare at the System in the form of a bee for a moment. He carefully pointed at the cave in front of him.

“That … If I’m not mistaken, the senior at the beginning of the third chapter … was killed by the main character with one slap?”

The System: “!!!”

Was this a joke?

It buzzed and flapped its wings, squeezing towards the hole. “Let me see, let me see —”

Xie Ziyou was still absent-minded.

There was clearly an extremely terrible scene, but his rationality told him that it would definitely bring about the most terrible consequences.

But for some reason, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Xie Ziyou wanted to get up and make room for the System.

But he had been squatting for too long, and his calves were numb from the wind. When he stood up abruptly, his legs went limp and he couldn’t stand up.

At this moment, Guan Heng suddenly raised his head from inside the cave.

The cold wind whistled, blowing away the fine fringe in front of his forehead.

A mysterious golden light appeared in the youth’s eyes. It was as if the sky was collapsing and the stars were falling. His dazzling and penetrating gaze pierced through the cold wind in an instant and met Xie Ziyou’s gaze outside the hole!

Their gazes met, and in that short instant, Xie Ziyou broke out in a cold sweat.

His mind went white, and the profound energy around his body subconsciously surged out. The icy blue air currents and the cold wind converged, drawing a beautiful arc in the air like a firefly’s flame.

Using his profound energy to support his master, whose calves had gone limp, Xie Ziyou’s fingertips pressed against the stone wall, using all his strength to support himself.

Immediately, a thin line of finger marks was imprinted on the stone wall.

Not caring about erasing the marks, Xie Ziyou borrowed the force of the recoil and instantly flew away from the edge of the narrow stone platform. Snow swirled around him as he slowly floated down the mountain.

The System followed him down the mountain, and against the howling wind, it interrogated him with its soul, “You You?”

What happened to the promise of taking a look?

Xie Ziyou was still in a state of shock, and said in a panic, “What happened just now? Did Guan Heng see me? ”

The System: “…”

What was this?

One of the Three Great Illusions in Life, was he looking at me?

The System said bitterly, “That’s impossible, You You, don’t scare yourself.”

“That hole wasn’t even the size of a fingernail, even if he really did take a look, how could he recognize who was outside?”

Xie Ziyou clenched his teeth, raised his head, and stared blankly at the sky.

The mountain was thousands of feet high, and under the rumbling shadows, it pierced straight into the clouds like a sharp blade.

Above them was the vast and boundless night sky. At this moment, the mist was gradually dispersing, and the wandering clouds were hidden. Stars appeared in the pitch-black night sky, surrounding the crescent moon in the middle. The moonlight was like water, clear and tranquil.

The river of stars was resplendent, and gently wrapped around the lonely mountain, like a fluttering ribbon.

“He saw me,” Xie Ziyou said softly.

In that hasty glance, he could clearly see the starlight in the youth’s eyes, just like the night sky in front of him. The thin clouds dissipated, revealing a vast expanse of diamond-like stars.

The young man opened his dry, cracked lips and mouthed something.

Xie Ziyou couldn’t be more familiar with that mouth shape.

It was’ You You ‘.

… …

Xie Ziyou originally wanted to go up the mountain in the middle of the night to take a look. If Guan Heng was safe and sound, and his injuries improved, he would be at ease.

But now that he had seen it, he became more and more distracted, and could not sit still.

The youth walked down the mountain in a daze, tripping and tripping. His thin shadow was dragged by the moonlight, and faintly reflected in front of him.

His face was hidden in the shadows, and he was surrounded by strange rocks. His white dress fell in the cold moonlight, and he looked very lonely.

The Ice Spirit Flower at his temples was plucked and held in his hands. The crystal clear petals were pulled off one by one. Xie Ziyou frowned and muttered, “He saw it, he didn’t see it, he saw it, he didn’t see it …”

“You You!” The System didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “If you’re so worried, why don’t you go back and take a look?”

Xie Ziyou denied it. “No.”

If Guan Heng really recognized him, wouldn’t he have more flaws if he went back?

“Can I help you take a look?”

“… Where did the bees come from the peak? Can you find a flaw if you go?”

The System sighed helplessly. “This won’t do, that won’t do, You You, what do you think we should do?”

Xie Ziyou clenched his teeth and looked around.

His hasty glance with Guan Heng had caused him to panic. Aside from his panic, he was also slightly angry and embarrassed.

Xie Ziyou couldn’t help but curse himself. It wasn’t like he was a rookie on his first mission. When did he become so timid and hesitant in front of the main character?

After a long silence, the young man finally couldn’t resist the torment in his heart. He turned around and said, “Forget it, I’ll go take a look. This time, I’ll really take a look …”

The System smiled kindly and didn’t expose him.

Making up his mind to return, Xie Ziyou’s footsteps immediately became lighter. With a gust of wind, he took a few leaps and returned to the mountainside.

The young man raised his head, and the moonlight fell into his sapphire pupils, creating a ripple.

But this time, before they even got close to the mountain peak, Xie Ziyou saw a tall black shadow in the distance, stealthily circling around the entrance of the cave.

Oh no!

He mustn’t let anyone find out!

How could the Goddess Xie of the Central Academy, who was surrounded by the stars and the moon, be able to sneak into the forbidden area like a thief and meet with a prisoner?

Grasping his precarious persona, Xie Ziyou hurriedly turned sideways and hid behind the nearest boulder.

He tilted his ear to listen for a long time, but his heart was itching. Thus, he pinched the rock wall with one hand and carefully poked out half his head.

The distant black shadow seemed to be very angry. It paced back and forth anxiously, not paying attention to Xie Ziyou’s movements.

Xie Ziyou pulled his long hair behind him and squinted his eyes, carefully identifying the tall and tall figure in the distance.

The back was tall and sturdy, and his profile was handsome. However, there was a murderous aura in his eyes.

“… Wu … Cong?”

What was he doing here?

Xie Ziyou was filled with doubt, his brows gradually tightening.

He couldn’t think of a reason for Wu Cong to sneak up the mountain in the middle of the night.

But if Wu Cong didn’t leave, he wouldn’t be able to see Guan Heng …

Just as Xie Ziyou was feeling conflicted, the system suddenly cried out in his mind. “Oh no, You You, the protagonist’s HP suddenly plummeted!”

“If this continues, Guan Heng will die!”

A sudden clap of thunder came from a clear sky.

Xie Ziyou’s eyes widened in shock. “What did you say?”

How could this be?

Wasn’t he fine just now?

His heart suddenly contracted, and his blood flowed faster.

Xie Ziyou’s ears buzzed. He didn’t have time to think. His body had already reacted first. He abruptly stood up and stared intently at Wu Cong’s furiously pacing figure in the distance.

He tapped his feet repeatedly, and his figure flashed like a flash of light. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Wu Cong, startling the dazed young man.

“Junior Sister?!”

“Junior Sister, you, why are you here …”

Under the moonlight, the girl in the white dress stood tall and slender. Without the restraints of the hairpin flower at her temples, her ebony hair wantonly fluttering in the cold wind.

Xie Ziyou’s usually cold and elegant eyes were seething with rage.

His emotions were surging, and his head was dizzy from the sudden anger. He couldn’t care less about the question of whether or not he was set up. The fingered young man approached step by step, his tone sharp and almost questioning.

“What did you do to him?!”
