"I can't bear to part with Mo Yu."
Shen Yebai spoke these words with a confident air, his eyes smiling, the tenderness in them almost drowning one.
Qin Moyu... Qin Moyu blushed again, much to her dismay.
Shen Yebai pressed his advantage, whispering in Qin Moyu's ear, "I want to travel with Moyu through countless mountains and rivers, through spring and autumn."
As he spoke, Shen Yebai seized the opportunity, hooking his little finger around Qin Moyu's finger and inserting it between Qin Moyu's fingers to interlock them.
Their hands, one long and fair, the other with distinct joints, complemented each other perfectly when clasped together, as if they were a match made in heaven.
The warmth of their palms touching gradually increased with Qin Moyu's increasingly rapid heartbeat. Qin Moyu stiffly turned her head. Here it came again, Shen Yebai's sweet words came like they were free.
"I don't want to be with you..." Qin Moyu muttered softly, but did not shake off Shen Yebai's hand.
He cherishes all promises of companionship, and regardless of whether they can be fulfilled in the end, Qin Moyu will choose to believe them at the moment they are spoken.
Shen Yebai smiled gently, but his gaze slowly shifted from Qin Moyu's blushing earlobe to his lips. Although he knew it was not the right time, he could not suppress the desire in his heart, and his eyes gradually deepened.
His pride in his self-control seemed like a joke in front of Qin Moyu. With just a simple move from Qin Moyu, he could willingly abandon his armor and weapons.
The more pleasant the atmosphere was between the two, the lower the pressure was on Master Xuanjing. When he looked at Shen Yebai, it wasn't disgust anymore, but rather he was looking at a dead man.
"Uncle-Master... calm down! calm down! calm down!" Xuan Qing swallowed hard. He had never seen Xuan Jing Zhenren's terrifying expression before, as if his carefully planted cabbage had been eaten by a pig.
Master Xuanjing used all his cultivation to suppress the urge to kill Shen Yebai. He took a deep breath and kept reminding himself not to make a move at this time. Although he could not make a move, it did not mean that he would let Shen Yebai succeed.
He smiled slightly and said confidently, "Mo Yu."
Qin Moyu looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Master Xuanjing pointed to something not far away: "Aren't you interested in magic? There's a lightning spell you've always wanted to learn over there. Go take a look."
Lightning magic! The crackling and sparks are incredibly cool!
Qin Moyu was instantly excited upon hearing Xuanjing Zhenren's words. No matter how many times he had been reborn, there was always a chuunibyou (delusional) teenager in his heart, fantasizing about making a cool entrance and dominating the world.
"Really?!" Qin Moyu exclaimed excitedly.
“Of course! I can give it to you as well.” Master Xuanjing turned to stare at Xuanqing and said quietly, “Right, Xuanqing?”
Xuanqing: ...Can I say no?
Faced with his unreasonable senior uncle, Xuanqing could only tearfully act as a tool.
With cool magic on one side and Shen Yebai, who always "bullies" him, on the other, Qin Moyu didn't even need to hesitate.
"Thank you, senior!" Qin Moyu released Shen Yebai's hand without hesitation and happily ran towards Xuanjing Zhenren.
Shen Yebai was left alone in the same spot.
#Dating is not as appealing as being cool#
"You little brat, you dare to mess with me!" Master Xuanjing gave Shen Yebai a defiant look. He had watched Qin Moyu grow up since he was a child. How could he possibly lose to this guy?
However, Shen Yebai was not as furious as Xuanjing Zhenren had imagined. Instead, he calmly walked to Qin Moyu's side.
"Is there something you need, Ye Bai?" Qin Moyu was so fond of the spell scroll that she couldn't put it down. She was a little puzzled when she saw Shen Ye Bai coming over.
"I remember Qin Moyu's magic was very powerful." Shen Yebai was referring to the magic Qin Moyu used when dealing with the Meng beast, and he didn't hold back his praise.
Qin Moyu scratched his head sheepishly: "No, it's all just for show."
"But they're still much stronger than me, so..."
"So?" Qin Moyu asked, puzzled.
"So, Mo Yu, teach me magic." Shen Yebai said with a serious expression.
well?
Qin Moyu hesitated: "That's not a good idea... My magic isn't that great either."
"I trust Mo Yu, and besides, there's no need to teach him too much; basic spells will suffice," Shen Yebai said with a smile.
"Basic spells? Sure!" Qin Moyu thought Shen Yebai wanted to learn combat spells from him, which he definitely couldn't do, but he was very familiar with basic spells!
Moreover... being able to teach Shen Yebai, who was stronger than himself, made Qin Moyu instantly proud.
Hehehe, when I get back I'll tell my master that I can not only fight with magic, but I can also teach others!
"That's great, then I'll have to ask Mo Yu for advice a lot." Shen Yebai's lips curled up, his smile was very innocent.
Immersed in acquiring magic and being able to teach Shen Yebai, Qin Moyu was completely unaware that Shen Yebai's true intentions were not what they seemed.
Not only that, Shen Yebai also wanted to destroy his spirit, so he bowed to Xuanjing Zhenren:
"Thank you for reminding me, senior. I had forgotten that I could ask Mo Yu for help with magic."
"..."
Xuanqing: "Uncle-Master! Uncle-Master! Bear it! Bear it!"

Qin Moyu didn't know how angry Master Xuanjing was; he only knew that after leaving the treasure pavilion, he was directly dragged away by Master Xuanjing.
