In the hallway, the shadows are stretched.

I took a slight breath to make a calm appearance and asked, "What are you looking for from me?" ”

"I heard that you are going to go north with you to collect ghosts." Bai Ming'an said as he walked, and his contoured face emerged from the shadows, dyed with a hint of moonlight, and his eyebrows and eyes became more and more slumped.

"Well, several provinces in the northwest have been attacked by ghosts, and many soul slayers have been missing, and the master means that the Daomen will go to support."

Bai Ming'an's black eyes looked at me quietly, and even closer, standing in front of me, slightly bent his head, the tip of his nose was in front of my line of sight.

"What does Elder Qiu mean, then, what do you mean?"

I was stunned for a moment: "I, of course I'm going to follow, I'm a part of the ghost collector for such a big thing, of course I have to-"

"Lying."

He lightly said two words, as if a pearl and jade were on the plate, strong and crisp.

His slender fingers ruffled a few of my broken hairs, and his breath lingered between my nose: "Ning Huan, you are avoiding me, aren't you." ”

"I didn't!" I blurted it out almost reflexively.

The answer was too eager, and it seemed that I was a little eager to cover it up.

I pursed my lips and said a little stiffly, "No matter what you think, I'm not so selfish. ”

Bai Ming'an raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't mean that, I never felt that you were selfish. ”

I said dryly, "That's the best." ”

Then, the atmosphere fell into a wave of condensation and embarrassment.

After standing for a while, my body was tense because of nervousness, and I felt a little numb in my spine, and at this time, Bai Ming'an raised his eyes and sighed: "I regret it." ”

I didn't understand: "What do you regret?" ”

Bai Ming'an reached out and touched the top of my head, and suddenly grabbed me, my chin resting on his shoulder, his breath so close that it almost touched the back of my neck.

"I regret not protecting you."

“…… I'm fine. And you are not obligated to protect me. "My eyes are cold, my throat is hard, and he is right in front of me, no, he can be considered within reach at this moment, but my hand can only hang down at my side, clenched tightly.

I didn't dare, I didn't dare to hug him back.

"Of course I have, I regret that I wasn't good enough to you before, why don't I be nice to you if I had the ability before......" Bai Ming'an's tone was full of doubts and sighs, as if he was talking to me and seemed to be asking himself.

There was a wave in my heart, and I looked up and saw Zhou Shiwei's figure standing at the gate of the courtyard, she was dressed in a white robe and ready to go, which made me wake up immediately.

I pushed him away, but he refused to let go, grabbing one of my hands: "Don't go, Ning Huan, ...... for me"

I broke his hand away from one finger at a time, and looked straight at him: "I'm going." ”

Bai Ming'an's body was shocked, because of the weakness of the body, the more and more white face flashed a trace of pain, I didn't dare to stay any longer, and said: "I'm sorry, I'll go back and rest first, and I have to get up early tomorrow." ”

When I passed him, I heard him stop me: "Ning Huan." ”

I stopped, thinking that he was going to stay, but I just listened to him be silent for a moment, and said the word "take care" in a low and sincere manner.

A heart is tangled into a clump, rising and falling, and the emotions are flipped hundreds of times between ups and downs, but fortunately, the dust has finally settled.

I smiled with my back to him, "Thank you." I will. ”

You also have to take care.

Bai Ming'an, I don't want anything more than this.

The next day, before dawn, more than a dozen disciples who were going north were ready.

Coincidentally, Qi Nanzhou woke up at two o'clock in the morning, Tang Shi was so excited, the two talked for most of the night, and got up early the next morning to see us off.

"Ning Huan, this is our Tang Clan and Qi Clan's black gold card, if you need it on the road, you can contact us." Tang Shi handed me three cards and hugged me: "I want to come back safely." ”

I smiled at her, "Of course." ”

nodded at Qi Nanzhou, who had just woken up: "Take good care of her." ”

Qi Nanzhou was very masculine and introverted, and his eyes were firm and calm: "Of course." ”

"Xiaoba, Comrade Li, you have to be obedient in Daomen." I waved my hand at the one man and one turtle in the back.

Xiaoba because of the good thing Xiao Daotong suspected the identity of the hundred-year-old turtle, and changed back to its original form in a fit of anger, but a group of little radish heads couldn't put it down, and he couldn't change back in a panic and applied a fixing technique to himself, and he could only keep the original form of the turtle for the next three months, so angry that he was sullen for a night.

Hearing me say this, Hachi turned his short tail to me in protest.

Li Rin raised his eyebrows: "Comrade Ning, why did even me become a three-year-old child?" ”

I snapped my fingers, and the clever little Taoist boy who acted as a tour guide yesterday immediately stood up and counted Li Rin's crimes vividly: "It was not enough to walk around the fields after dark yesterday, so I insisted on running to the back mountain, but I got lost in the black light, and I was shocked by those wild emaciations, and I also mobilized several of our juniors and disciples to escort him......"

"Eh, eh." Li Rin couldn't hold his face, interrupted again and again, covered the mouth of the little Taoist boy with a hippie smile, and smiled at me: "I know Comrade Ning, you should be careful on the road." While lifting the little Taoist boy back and forth.

Little Eight Little Short Legs Bumped and followed: "Eh, wait for the master-"

Li Rin tripped over Xiaodao Tong in front of him and accidentally fell and ate.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene. The summer weather is just right, with blue skies and white clouds and green fields, and there seems to be no tension at all.

Until I got on the road, I didn't see Bai Ming'an.

Turning his head to Song Li's comforting eyes: "Senior brother, it's not that he doesn't want to come, but he's afraid that he will hurt the scene, and he is afraid that he won't be able to control it and will stop you-"

Without blinking, I flew out three cards.

Song Li's eyes were quickly catched, so as to avoid the danger of being poked blind, he fixed his eyes and looked at it, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Yo roar, this is for you Brother Song Li, I will say that Ning Ning is the best, and I usually don't hurt you in vain......"

"Three cards, you divide them into the three groups of the other senior brothers, I have Mingzhu's funding here, they need it more."

"......" Song Li made a big white face, touched his nose, and quickly recovered his spirit and walked to the front of the team I don't know what to say, but the eight senior brothers in the two groups turned around and shouted at me.

"Thank you, sister rich woman!"

"......" The corners of my mouth twitched, and I laughed dryly: "They are all fellow disciples, no need to thank you, hehehe." ”

Zhou Shiwei couldn't see me like this, snorted from her nose, and proudly passed me and left.

I hurriedly chased after me: "Hey, wait for me!" ”

The party of sixteen men set out on the journey north, and as agreed, they went to the northwest together, and then dispersed at the fork and began the movement of their respective teams. (To be continued.) )
