Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

"I will."

Bai Heng looked at Chitang's delighted expression and uttered three words lightly.

His eyes darkened without anyone noticing.

The gift that Chitang sent was made after asking Tongli, who was most familiar with Zhuqing. If Zhuqing saw it, he would definitely like it.

But the key is, does this if exist?

Chitang couldn't hear what he was thinking, but just hearing these three words that carried a hint of affirmation made her feel happy.

"That's good. Master, I'll go look for Senior Brother Zhu Qing then."

Chitang put the gift back into the storage bag and was about to run out excitedly.

As they passed each other, Bai Heng reached out and grabbed her wrist, his eyes dark and gloomy.

"Atang, I'll go with you."

"what?"

Chi Tang turned around and met Bai Heng's fiery eyes. He was stunned for a moment without controlling himself.

"Okay, Master, I understand. Can you please let go of my wrist?"

She bit her lower lip and looked at the big hand that was just embedded in her wrist. The temperature of the palm seemed to penetrate into her blood with the contact, becoming hot and scorching.

An inexplicable feeling arose in Chitang's heart.

"Master, something seems to be wrong."

The problem here is the way I get along with her.

In recent months, such feelings have appeared in her mind more and more frequently.

Bai Heng still treated her with the same loving care and affection as before, and even treated her better.

Not to mention that everything is provided for him, every day when Chitang wakes up, his favorite things are already prepared in front of him.

When she was taken to the mortal world for a tour, Bai Heng would take out anything she looked at for a second and give it to her.

When Mingming was still young, the master would consider not spoiling the child too much, and sometimes even give him some serious teachings.

Now it's like all those things have been thrown out of my mind.

Chitang's brows were filled with worry.

Bai Heng used to look at her as taking care of a younger generation whom he cared about and valued.

Now, it seems like there's something else mixed in.

The meanings of attention and affection are no longer so simple. Even the small gestures during occasional contact have more connotations of desire.

She suddenly didn't dare to think about it any further.

Chitang blinked, pulled his hand out of Bai Heng's palm, and pretended nothing had happened.

“Master, let’s go.

Her thoughts were in a mess, and she didn't say a word to Bai Heng on the way to Zhuqing Cave Mansion.

However, the closer he got to Zhu Qing's cave, the more he thought about what he had to do, and there was no room in Chi Tang's mind to think about anything else.

She took out the gift and held it in her palm, her expression showing anticipation and excitement.

"Zhu Qing... Senior Brother?"

When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, Chi Tang was about to call for help, but he stopped when he saw the closed door.

Isn't today the day that Senior Brother Zhu Qing comes out of retreat? Why is the door closed and no one is around?

With a creaky sound, the cave door was suddenly opened from the inside.

Chitang went to greet him happily, but after seeing the person's appearance clearly, his expression couldn't help but fall.

"Brother Tongli? Why is it you, Brother Zhuqing?"

When Tong Li saw Chi Tang and his master walking forward, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Zhu Qing has left Luoxia Peak. I came to pick up some of the things he left behind. Some of them are useful and can be left for other disciples to use, so as not to waste them."

Tong Li's words, coupled with his puzzled expression, immediately gave Chitang an ominous premonition.

"Didn't Zhu Qing say goodbye to you? He may not come back in the future."

Tong Li added another sentence, which made the ominous premonition more real.

Zhu Qing left Luoxia Peak, still with no deadline, and without saying goodbye to her.

Chitang looked down at the black and gold headband in his hand that he had specially bought in the mortal world, and his expression suddenly froze.

I had just started what I wanted to do when the protagonist disappeared without warning. The interruption was too abrupt.

Chitang didn't want to face this fact. She hesitated for a few moments, avoided Bai Heng Tongli who was looking at her worriedly, opened the communication mirror, and connected with Zhu Qing.

The mirror flashed twice, and another scene appeared.

The first person that caught my eye was Zhu Qing, who was still wearing a black cloak, carrying a sword on his back, and walking in a dense forest of an unknown location.

Zhu Qing's eyes were covered by the brim of his cloak, so it was impossible to see the changes in his expression.

Chitang had a lot of questions to ask him.

Why did you leave without saying goodbye to her?

And why maybe he will never come back?

Does what I said before no longer count?

……

In the end, she asked just one question.

"Brother Zhuqing, why do you want to leave Luoxia Peak?"

Zhu Qing's slightly cold voice came from under the cloak.

"I found my people. They once gave half of their magic power to my parents, but the situation was critical at that time, so I lost contact with them."

"Now I should go back and protect them on behalf of my deceased parents."

Zhu Qing lowered his head and touched the relics left by his parents with a nostalgic look on his face.

That was where he was obsessed with his life, his living parents, friendly tribesmen, and memories of the past...

"Then...what about me?"

Chitang heard that he wanted to stay outside for a long time and asked dejectedly.

Retreat does not mean prohibiting communication with the outside world. Chitang would often chat with him when he was free. Mingming could clearly feel the joy that his senior brother felt when interacting with her.

Didn't he consider her at all when he left like this?

The person on the other side of the mirror paused, his voice sounding somewhat guilty.

"Junior Sister Chitang, if you need anything, you can always ask me for help."

"That is the hometown that raised me and my parents. I can't abandon it."

He did not directly respond to the question in her words.

But this sentence also implies that he has given up on her.

Snakes are cold-hearted and small-minded, and they only care about one thing.

Since it was left to the past that could never be returned to, then naturally the only things that were abandoned were other things, including the junior sister that he had some feelings for.

This is the biggest obstacle between the two of them.

Bai Heng already knew that although he didn't care about Zhu Qing, he wouldn't intentionally harm him.

Even if one wanted to separate Chitang from him, it would only be to find an irreconcilable contradiction between the two of them and magnify it to the point where it could not be recovered.

After that, I can plan slowly.

It was his doing that Zhu Qing left.

He did not do anything to harm others and benefit himself. He just told Zhu Qing that some of his fellow snakes were bullied by other monsters and came to Luoxia Peak for help not long ago.

Bai Heng naturally helped to suppress the enemy in the beginning, but due to his lack of strength, he was often coveted.

Zhu Qing understood this point best.

Since he knew where his tribesmen had gone, he would not leave them alone.

In Zhuqing's heart, his tribesmen are the most important.

For Yu Chitang, it was impossible for her to leave Luoxia Peak.

Both of them knew the contradiction, and the communication mirror was interrupted.

Chitang's first passion also ended anticlimactically in front of the dark curtain of the communication mirror.

Unable to suppress her aggrieved mood, she shook off Bai Heng who was waiting for her not far away, lowered her head, pursed her lips, and returned to the cave in silence.
