I'm a cannon fodder, but I'm actually a heartthrob

Rong Jin was not sleeping well, and was still calling out softly: "Master, Master..."

Ning Xiefeng's eyes became gentle, and he said in a soft voice: "Be good, your master is here."

"Rongrong, let's go back to Yinqing Peak."

"..."

The outside world was in chaos. First, the former Demon Lord Jing Su ran to the ghost world and blew up the Ghost King's Netherworld Island. Then the Ghost King and the new Demon Lord joined forces to hunt down the former Demon Lord.

No matter how chaotic the outside world is, Yinqing Peak is a pure land.

Rong Jin woke up in his bedroom and thought he was dreaming.

He clearly remembered that he and Jing Su were staying in the cave, so how come he found himself back at Yinqing Peak when he woke up?

0517: [It’s not a dream. ]

Rong Jin said, "Yeah, I understand."

He got up, changed his clothes, and walked to Ning Xiefeng's residence. Seeing his master sitting in the yard playing chess, he quickly ran over and said, "Master, how did I get back?"

Rong Jin remembered that he heard the voice of his master in his dream, but he was not sure if it was his master who brought him back.

Ning Xiefeng said: "The master brought you back."

Rong Jin smiled sheepishly and said, "Thank you for your help, Master."

Ning Xiefeng held a black chess piece in his hand and placed it next to the white chess piece. He said calmly, "No need to thank me, Rongrong. It was Master who offended me that day. I'm sorry."

Rong Jin was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Master, that day..."

Ning Xiefeng did not hide it, "Master had a demon in his heart. I did not control it that day. It was Master's fault."

Rong Jin sat opposite Ning Xiefeng with mixed feelings, shook his head and said, "Master, I don't blame you. I know you didn't mean it."

Ning Xiefeng breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.

Rong Jin casually picked up a black chess piece and placed it in the middle of the chessboard. Ning Xiefeng did not stop him and placed the white chess piece not far from the black chess piece.

"Rongrong, do you have someone you like?"

Rong Jin was about to say no, but looking at Ning Xiefeng, he didn't say it.

"I do not know."

Ning Xiefeng chuckled and said helplessly: "Can't you feel whether you like someone?"

Rong Jin blushed slightly and said, "I...can't tell what love is."

Ning Xiefeng: "Well, it's your turn."

Rong Jin quickly took out a black chess piece and placed it randomly on the chessboard, and said honestly: "Master, I don't know how to play chess."

Ning Xiefeng knew his young apprentice very well. He put down the white chess piece and said, "I know."

He did not use the word "teacher", but Rong Jin did not notice this small detail and placed the black chess piece on the board.

Within ten rounds, the black pieces were surrounded by the white pieces.

Rong Jin put the black chess piece back and said, "Master, my brother has been possessed by a demon and has become a demon lord."

"Ah."

Ning Xiefeng's expression did not fluctuate, and Rong Jin could not tell whether he was unhappy or not.

Ning Xiefeng raised his eyes and looked at Rong Jin calmly, and said in a gentle tone: "Your senior brother has his own path to follow, but I don't want you to follow him into the devil. If you are possessed by the devil, I can't teach you anything anymore."

"Master..."

Rong Jin stammered but couldn't say anything.

Ning Xiefeng took back all the chess pieces and asked, "Have you not practiced sword recently?"

Rong Jin said, "No."

"Let's practice swords."

Except for the absence of Xiao Huairang, Rong Jin felt as if he had returned to the time when he first came to this world. Every day he only needed to practice sword and talk with his master, and the day would pass peacefully.

0517 did not say when the transmission channel would be opened, and Rong Jin did not urge him.

A month passed, and Rong Jin returned to his yard after practicing sword for four hours as usual.

The difference was that there was a person standing in his yard.

"Senior brother?"

Xiao Huairang subconsciously raised the corners of his lips and said, "Junior brother."

"Brother, please come in."

Rong Jin said this calmly, which was different from the reaction Xiao Huairang had imagined.

He appears calm on the surface, but he is actually extremely happy inside.

"Junior brother, aren't you angry with your senior brother?" Xiao Huairang sat on the stool and asked Rong Jin.

Rong Jin poured him a cup of tea and asked in confusion, "Why should I be angry with you?"

Xiao Huairang held Rong Jin's hand and explained: "Junior brother, I didn't mean to lie to you, I was just afraid that you..." hate me.

Rong Jin pressed the teacup into his hand and said, "I know, you don't need to explain, Senior Brother. I'm really not angry."

Xiao Huairang asked anxiously: "Really?"

"real."

Xiao Huairang laughed instantly: "Junior brother, I like you so much."

Rong Jin thought that his affection for him was just between fellow apprentices, so he said, "I like you, too, senior brother."

Xiao Huairang's ears turned red as if they were about to bleed. He held Rong Jin's wrist with trembling hands and said with bright eyes, "Do you like me, Junior Brother? Then let's go back to the Demon Realm and get married. We can also get married in Cangxuan Sect."

Rong Jin pulled his hand away and said in disbelief, "What marriage? I'm talking about...family love!"

Xiao Huairang: "..."

The protagonist fell in love with me? What a joke.

But having experienced so many collapse plots, Rong Jin was not as shocked as before and walked straight out the door.

He saw Ning Xiefeng standing quietly outside the courtyard, walked over slowly and asked, "Master, why are you here?"

Ning Xiefeng lowered his eyes and looked at him. He did not answer his question, but asked: "Do you like your senior brother?"

Rong Jin: "Yes, I like Master too."

Ning Xiefeng's taut string completely broke. He couldn't help but hold Rong Jin's hand and said the words he had never dared to say.

"Rongrong, I like you."

Rong Jin understood what he meant and looked at Ning Xiefeng stiffly.

"Rongrong, you don't have to give me an answer."

Ning Xiefeng smiled faintly and said, "Rongrong, Yinqing Peak will always be your home. You can come back anytime. Your master will always be behind you."

Xiao Huairang leaned against the door frame and looked at them solemnly.

Ning Xiefeng glanced at him before leaving and said nothing more.

Rong Jin returned to the house in a daze, and Xiao Huai held his wrist against the door: "Rong Rong, do you like him?"

After Xiao Huairang finished speaking, he kissed Rong Jin on the lips, not giving him a chance to answer.

"Rongrong, I'm sorry. I'm afraid if I don't kiss you now, I won't have the chance to kiss you again."

Xiao Huairang felt panicked by Rong Jin's completely different attitude towards him and his master.

Even though he knew that his inner demons were fake, his rebirth was fake, and Ning Xiefeng did not treat him and Rong Jin as a cauldron, he still could not accept that Rong Jin liked Ning Xiefeng.

Xiao Huairang wondered jealously why Rong Jin would like Ning Xiefeng. He clearly grew up with Rong Jin, so why couldn't Rong Jin like him?

Xiao Huairang bit Rong Jin's lips, making him speechless.

"Ouch... it hurts... be gentle..."

Xiao Huairang slowed down his movements and kissed Rong Jin gently.

"Rongrong, can't you just like me?"

Rong Jin's legs went limp from his kiss, and he put his arms around his neck and said, "Brother, we have no future."

Xiao Huairang's eyes turned red and he asked, "Why? Rongrong, can you give me a reason?"

Rong Jin avoided his gaze and said, "There is no reason. I won't be with anyone."

Including Master.
