The black lake water, thick blue lotus leaves, green and purple lotus horns, red and white lotus flowers.

What disturbed it all was a ship, with a narrow hull, mottled wood lacquer, and a dull sound of oars.

At this time, the girl sitting on the edge of the boat, wearing a peach-pink dress almost blended into the sea of flowers, but the girl's beautiful face, which can make the red lotus inferior to three points, revealed a sense of melancholy-

Xia Bai Ze Yu Xuan didn't know if He Yanfang was angry, because the big demon she loved was just sitting quietly on the bow of the boat.

Yu Xuan just felt that he was qualified to be angry, it was she who brought him into the Divine Army, and now it was also because her sister prevented her from "betraying morality" that he suffered a lot of troubles, and he was covered in blood.

But the most uncomfortable thing is silence, He Yanfang is always like this, with a false gentle smile on his face, but he never shows his sincerity. She sat opposite, He Yanfang only lowered her head to read, so she could only see the broken hair on He Yanfang's forehead. Down was the bloodstained white shirt, although it was so miserable, but the figure was still upright, and she felt that He Yanfang was silently protesting.

Obviously, it was because I was worried about him that I came to pick him up...... The waterway was still very long, and she couldn't bear this silence, so she had to speak: "Li Taibai?"

He Yanfang nodded lightly in response, she only knew that he liked poetry after a long observation, especially Li Bai's poems, and the rest was still unknown.

"Angry?" she couldn't help but ask.

He Yanfang finally looked up at her, his black eyes were as deep as the lake: "Why?"

The girl was defeated by this coldness, and could only sigh softly: "You have been running around for months and being hunted down by the old department of Yan Yingyuan, just because you were excluded by your sister. ”

He Yanfang didn't refute, his eyes still fell on the book: "This has nothing to do with Xia Bai Ze." ”

"Then why are you so cold to me?"

"Men and women are on guard. ”

"I used to go in and out of Pingkangfang, why didn't I see you men and women on guard?" (Note 1)

Hearing her indignant reply, He Yanfang hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and then continued to respond: "There is a difference between respect and inferiority. ”

"The dignified White Snake is now despised again?"

Being bitten tightly, He Yanfang looked up helplessly, and her expression still made her sink into peace and gentleness: "There are some things that should not be bitten too tightly, go down to Bai Ze." I did have a bit of a bad idea, and I avoided getting into a dispute with you because I was reasonable. ”

"You are my subordinate, you can say anything that goes wrong. ”

"I'm afraid that I can't help but sow discord between you sisters, I'm not a good person. He Yanfang simply drew the line with a voice dyed with lotus incense, and as soon as this kind of remark came out, the topic basically had to end.

To be honest, Yu Xuan was a little annoyed, she never knew what He Yanfang was thinking, the only thing she knew for sure was that he might escape or return to Yan Ying Courtyard at any time. It was so hurtful, He Yanfang knew she liked him before she even knew it, but sadly, even though she showed it so obviously, he didn't respond.

"Am I not good enough for you?" she asked, angrily, ignoring the boatman's thoughts.

He Yanfang frowned slightly, and his soft facial features flashed with a shallow and calm smile: "If it weren't for your fairness to me, I would have nailed Shang Bai Ze to death in the Great Ci'en Temple Tower." ”

How can you say such things so plainly and softly...... She looked at He Yanfang, the blue leaf red lotus slowly brushed behind him, maybe it was because of the light lotus fragrance, she couldn't feel the anger.

She was destined to be at a disadvantage from the moment her feelings were known, and she didn't want He Yanfang to think she was annoying, so she had to bite her lip and remain silent.

She didn't turn her head to play with the lotus flowers that were taller than her head, and the red lotus, which was getting denser and denser, seemed to gradually gather towards them with the gentle sound of water, and the peach-colored petals were still with dewdrops, and the touch was like a girl's cheeks.

Scorching lotus flowers, pavilions out of the water. One stem is lonely and green, and the two shadows share dividends. The color grabs the face of the song, and the fragrance dances in the style of clothes. The name lotus can be read by itself, and the situation is the same as the two hearts. (Note 2)

The lotus flower can still be concentric...... She looked at the gentle, detached man across from her and thought bitterly.

"Such a view, but you only know how to read, isn't it incomprehensible and elegant. She always felt that people who like poetry should have a sensitive and delicate heart, and be easily touched by the scenery.

"Xia Bai Ze must have forgotten my 'light and shadow body' technique, my doppelganger is still playing in the beautiful scenery. He Yanfang said, and suddenly there was a little fluctuation under the boat, and Yu Xuan could imagine the silver scales of the giant python gently rubbing the bottom of the boat.

Is there nothing to talk about again, it's obviously such a good guy, but when you don't want to say more, you can't afford to stir up half a point. She had no choice but to sigh softly: "The demonic aura is so well hidden, I don't even notice it." ”

"Concealing power is an extremely important basic skill," He Yanfang's tone was somewhat arrogant as an elder, "Xia Bai Ze, you are still too young, and your aura is flamboyant, in my opinion, it is like a living target for demons." ”

"That's not the case!" Yu Xuan explained unconvinced, "It's not because I'm not good at learning, but because I can't hide my breath." ”

She felt it was important to explain this: "Because all kinds of ghosts will hide their aura, it is difficult for even Bai Ze to easily distinguish between demons and evils. In this case, you can only let the demon come to the door like walking with a candle in the dark...... Bai Ze has lived like this for generations, risking being attacked at any time, just because Bai Ze is the ...... of the race that has been given the mission of exterminating demons."

He Yanfang listened quietly and did not reply.

It is incomprehensible to him, who is left to fend for himself in the dark, with mission, morality, and faith. But even when he thinks she's stupid, she has to stand her ground.

"My heart and my line are as clear as a mirror. Everything you think and do is because of justice. Holding on angrily, she stared at He Yanfang's face, "I know you're uncomfortable, but I believe you'll really change, so I'll protect you." ”

"I don't need to protect ......"

"I know how strong you are, but it's not the strength that matters," Yu Xuan looked at his inky eyes eagerly, "The important thing is the connection of hearts. I am the one who brought you to the Divine Army, and I will help you cut off the past about the Yan Ying Courtyard and the demons!"

"You've always wanted to get everyone on the right path," He Yanfang looked at her with a sneering smile, "So what is it that is worth everything you have to give?"

"It's hard for me to answer," Yu Xuan admitted, "but it's okay not to know! Just thinking about getting it is sad, you just think it's for Hua Xu's dream to come true." ”

"You're just young and vigorous. He Yanfang shook his head flatly, with only lotus flowers in his eyes.

"I will prove it, and I will protect you. ”

"Then prove it," He Yanfang's voice was indifferent, and his abyss-like pupils were not half emotional, "There is no shortage of opponents on this waterway, if you really care, I will try to cut off the grievances between me and Yan Yingyuan." ”

Yu Xuan stood up, surrounded by a pavilion and a lotus wind, and the fragrance that was so sweet that it made people lose their guard lingered like light smoke.

The boat suddenly shook, and when the red lotus was chaotic and slanted, countless Tie Qing's hands stretched out from the water—

In just a split second, a dream turned into a nightmare.

She wasn't afraid, she just pulled out her blood-like sword and smiled slightly in Mei Zhixia, who was rushing again: "Okay." ”

I swear to take you away from the nightmare you still craving, and the direction you point to is my battlefield.
