"Aye! What do you mean?! I gave Lorraine back to you, and you...you want to play with me?!"

Xinkui opened her eyes in disbelief.

Under her, the giant white-bone dragon also flashed a fierce look:

"Miss, Suzaku goes back on her word."

Gushuang couldn't bear to see his young lady sad. As he spoke, the temperature in Tianshan had plummeted to freezing point.

Yan Ye explained in a panic:

"I, although I promised to help you, I can only help you 'within my ability'... How did I know that you want to join Jinghua Palace... I can't make the decision in this matter."

"I didn't let you make the decision! I just asked you to cooperate with me! It's obviously very simple, just say a few nice words during the assessment, or help me act when needed! How can this be an unreasonable request?!"

Xinkui was puzzled to understand, but Xinkui said that she was not particularly exaggerated!

Compared with taking Lorraine away and going home to get the "big reward", wouldn't this "little favor" be as easy as sprinkling water?

But Yan Ye's eyes dodge, obviously not telling the truth:

"That won't work either... I, I cannot replace the Master and the Flower Seeker in judging your nature..."

"you!"

Xinkui pursed her lips and froze in place for a moment.

"I'm sorry, Xinkui..."

In fact, what Yan Ye is most worried about is that her joining will make the "battle for master" more complicated.

After personally experiencing her terrifying talent, it is almost certain that once Xinkui successfully joins the Jinghua Palace, the status of the second-generation spirit envoys will be severely impacted.

Whether it is from his own standpoint or from the standpoint of his sisters, Yanye has no obligation to take such a risk and do something thankless for Xinkui.

In the final analysis, the relationship is still not good enough. If it were Luo Lin, Yan Ye would have taken the initiative to protect her without the other party saying anything.

——

At this moment, Xinkui's eyes gradually darkened.

She could tell that this was the first time that Yan Ye had done something like this, breaking a promise. After all, the girl's tangled and hesitant expression was written on her face.

Perhaps the core reason for her rejection was nothing else but the master she cared about most.

Based on the information she learned during her previous horoscope calculations, Xinkui understood that all potential competitors seemed to make the spirit envoys twice as wary.

She could understand this, but at the same time, she was sad.

The purpose of my coming here is not to compete for favor, but simply to find a shelter and find the true location of the "Nightmare God". I have no intention of threatening others.

Besides, she really liked this Suzaku's character, and even planned to get along well with her after joining the Mirror Flower Palace.

However, things went counterproductive.

"In that case, I understand."

He saw her forced a smile in relief, and reached out to touch the "Netherworld Gu" on her waist.

"You, what are you going to do?" Yan Ye felt even more uneasy.

suddenly--!

For a moment, explosions rumbled to the sky, mist flashed, and the bones and ghosts of the entire Tianshan Mountain disappeared in the blink of an eye like an illusion.

The atmosphere in the air gradually became abnormal.

Such a big movement made the blond loli on the side suddenly feel uneasy. She frowned and asked:

"Wait a minute, Sayoko, have you known each other before?"

Since Yan Ye and Xin Kui have been talking through sound transmission, Jin Yu and others cannot hear it, but judging from the changes in the expressions on the two women's faces, something unpleasant must have happened, and this cannot escape everyone's notice.

sight.

Seeing that Xinkui waved her sleeves to recover all the ghosts and spirits, but was condensing some kind of spiritual energy of her own... Jin Yu guessed that she was not trying to evacuate this place, but to avoid harming them in high-level battles.

Those weak ghosts are planning to come for real.

"It doesn't count as acquaintance."

Yan Ye shook his head and replied stiffly: "It's just... a one-time relationship."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Jin Yu didn't know many things about Xin Kui. Seeing this situation, as the most senior second-generation spirit envoy, he had no choice but to follow Yan Ye's wishes and turn to summarize Xin Kui:

"Ahem, then... I can understand Miss Wu's desire to join the Jinghua Palace, but now, the 'Flower-seeking Envoy' in the palace is still making breakthroughs. The Spiritual Envoy has no time for her to take care of her, and the master is not in Tianshan. We are waiting for the second generation

The spirit envoy is not qualified to choose the 'spiritual flower' at will.

so……"

"Aye, let me ask you one last time, are you sure you want to deceive me?"

Before Jin Yu finished speaking, he saw Xin Kui above the dragon's head looking directly into Yan Ye's eyes and asked again with an unprecedented seriousness.

"I...I..."

Seeing Yan Ye hesitate, Xin Kui gave her a few seconds to recover.

But the results are obvious.

"All right."

She spoke slowly with disappointed eyes:

"I wanted to be friends with you."

"friend……"

The sudden words made the girl's pupils shrink suddenly.

Now, she, who was not very determined to begin with, was completely panicked.

Although it is very unbelievable to become friends with a "ghost spirit", since Yan Ye came to the world as a four-phase holy beast, only a handful of people can truly say this to her.

Wu Xinkui is not a holy bird, nor is she a member of the mirror flower family.

To be able to get to know, understand, get along with, develop a good impression of, and be willing to further develop a relationship with someone from a completely unfamiliar starting point is to meet someone in this world that is no less difficult than climbing to heaven.

This can be seen from the intense pain that Lorraine felt after losing her memory.

At this time, Yan Ye finally felt a little regretful.

After all, she has a kind nature, is not good at lying, and has never broken her promise.

Now Xinkui's words made her start to reflect, had she become selfish without realizing it?

"Sure enough, I can't be like this... Master has always set an example and has never failed everyone's expectations. How could I be so miserable because of my own selfish desires... Even if she is a ghost, I shouldn't..."

She had a sad face, like a child who had done something wrong, biting her lower lip and reflecting on her mistake.

"My master once taught me that 'all living beings in the world suffer' and 'pain is like a shadow.' Even Xinkui might have had a painful past that is no less painful than ours..."

If she has been recognized by everyone by relying on her true learning, it is natural to join the Jinghua Palace...Should I..."

——

"Cang Lan, please send your sister Zhuque back to Tianshan. Just leave this place to us."

Suddenly, Jin Yu's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Huh?"

Cang Lan, who had been observing the words and expressions, was startled when he heard this.

"Be obedient and take her back to have a rest."

Jin Yu said with a smile.

"Oh well."

Cang Lan thought for a moment and then took action immediately.

She spread her eagle wings, moved in front of the girl who was still in a confused state, and said softly:

"Sister Zhuque, I'm offended."

"Well..."

Before Yan Ye could react, she quickly picked up the girl by her waist and flew directly to the Jinghua Tianyu Cave.

"Wait, Cang Lan, wait..."

"Sister Zhuque, be obedient. This is Senior Jin Yu's order."

The sound gradually faded away.

——

"..."

Seeing that the two girls' backs finally disappeared from sight, Sha Ling, who had not made any remarks, withdrew her gaze.

She knew in her heart that Jin Yu wanted to drive away Suzaku.

In the eyes of the little girl, no matter how dull she is, she can see that there must be a bond between Yan Ye and the ghost.

Theoretically, this Miss Wu is here for an interview. According to Jin Yu's wishes, she will definitely not be able to fulfill her wish today. So her goal of successfully joining the Jinghua Palace will naturally be frustrated.

This should be unacceptable to the other party.

Normally, assuming that a new and outstanding disciple of the Lingyue Sect comes for an interview, in this case, Jin Yu can invite her to wait in the palace on behalf of her master, or even stay temporarily for a while.

But Xinkui firstly didn’t have an invitation letter, secondly she didn’t have a letter of introduction, thirdly she wasn’t a disciple of the associated sect, let alone an old acquaintance of any of the spiritual envoys in the palace...
