Qin Shuxue was really exhausted, especially after Heng Li made the bed for her neatly and brought a thick quilt. In the past, Qin Shuxue would definitely tease him, "Who is this for? Is it someone you have planned for?" Today, she fell asleep in this warm and soft bed. She had been freezing outside for too long, so she huddled up to keep the heat from radiating out.

This room is the closest to Hengli's bedroom. It is usually not occupied so there is nothing there. Hengli sat on a stool and looked at Qin Shuxue worriedly. This little girl is gone after being watched for a while. What should he do? Tie her up and walk around? Does this child have a bad fate? Otherwise, find a Taoist priest or something to take a look?

His face wrinkled into a peach pit, and he still couldn't think of what to do. It was impossible for him to follow her to the toilet. Perhaps it would have been better if he hadn't brought her with him to practice Taoism in the first place.

He unconsciously recalled the day when he returned home. He went back to the village to see his parents. His parents and Qin Shuxue's families were cooking together to welcome him. Qin Shuxue still looked young and innocent, and he really believed it at that time. The little girl still had a child's hairstyle and asked him what fun things there were to do in Chongyun Sect to cultivate immortals. Heng Li had high aptitude and naturally didn't feel it was hard. He opened his mouth and said, "Cultivating immortals is fun. You can practice martial arts and even make such a high fire in your hands. Look, I'll show you one."

He casually summoned a ball of fire. His talent was so high that the flame was so high that the little girl stared at him straight, almost burning her hair. The fascination in her eyes was about to overflow, and she asked, "Brother Hengli, can I be this powerful in the future?"

Heng Li didn't take her words seriously at all: "You can do it, just practice hard. But do your parents want you to continue practicing? You are almost old enough to get married."

The little girl immediately became unhappy: "Who should I marry? I see that these stinky men are all the same, why should I marry them? Don't you even look at your own face? Do you want me to work for them?"

Heng Li was so shocked that he almost lost control of his anger. This was the first time he heard Qin Shuxue, a seemingly well-behaved girl, speak so fiercely. It was also the first time he took this girl seriously: "Have you told your parents? I remember that your aptitude is not particularly good. How about this, when you really come to Chongyun Sect, I will protect you!"

Who would have thought that Qin Shuxue's parents had the same intention? Heng Li thought that they would live an ordinary life like most people in the village, because in that backward little village, no one would let their daughters continue to cultivate immortality, and many families would not let their daughters learn at all, but only teach them some needlework and marry them off. Heng Li looked at the Qin family, who were extremely poor, and still sighed. He took Qin Shuxue away, and when he left, the bad news came.

Heng Li pinched his brows. A good family ended up broken up. Although Heng Li was not a good man, they grew up together. Qin Shuxue's parents were almost the same as his own. Heng Li really didn't want to see this kind of ending, so he kept cleaning up the mess Qin Shuxue had made. The tuition fees were not saved by her parents, but by him taking on tasks and working part-time. That was gold, and Qin Shuxue's parents couldn't save that much no matter what they did.

But it’s strange, the original Qin Shuxue was always causing trouble, but she lived a peaceful life, but when this new Qin Shuxue came, all the bad things happened.

Heng Li was now becoming suspicious. He simply didn't go back to his room. He leaned against the table and stared outside the door. He couldn't guarantee that Qin Shuxue was safe and sound, so he simply didn't want to sleep.

As dawn approached, Heng Li tilted his head and closed his eyes for a while.

Qin Shuxue went to bed early, so she woke up early too. When she opened her eyes, she saw Heng Li sleeping with his arms folded, with a bow and arrow behind him. This must be Heng Li's weapon. It was the first time she had seen it.

The nights in this season were still a little chilly. Heng Li had nothing to cover himself with and his face was a little blue. Qin Shuxue hurriedly got out of bed. She couldn't lift the heavy quilt, so she simply took down the curtains and covered Heng Li with it. Heng Li woke up as soon as he was touched and almost punched Qin Shuxue. He relaxed when he saw that it was her.

"Why are you sleeping here?"

Heng Li looked at the cloth on his body and breathed a sigh of relief. The night was over after all. "Okay, it's okay as long as you're fine. You got up and you have to recover. Let's practice quickly."

Qin Shuxue finally understood that Hengli was afraid that she would be harmed again, and said gratefully: "Actually, you don't have to be like this. I'm already very happy that everyone is thinking of me."

Heng Li rolled his eyes at her and said, "Stop pretending. Does it matter whether you care about her or not? This is a matter of life and death."

Qin Shuxue followed Heng Li out of the house. It was just dawn outside and still a little foggy. Heng Li had already drawn his bow and aimed at the target he had placed on a tree in the distance. He transmitted his spiritual power from his arm directly to the tip of the arrow. Qin Shuxue herself could not drive her spiritual power so smoothly, and could not help but exclaimed in amazement.

Heng Li was afraid of making Qin Shuxue sad, so he stopped quickly. However, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. In an instant, three arrows were shot out and hit the bull's eye.

Qin Shuxue couldn't help but cheer: "Heng Li, you are really amazing. The tree is so tall. If you don't use spiritual power, can you shoot it up?"

"Well, practicing magic is too monotonous, so I learned a less common weapon."

"But wouldn't it be inconvenient to fight in close combat like this?"

"Oh, no," Heng Li said, pulling out his wax stick, "I have other weapons."

Qin Shuxue had a deep understanding of how amazing Heng Li was.

Heng Li looked at Qin Shuxue's devastated expression and consoled her, "Although your hands are not very convenient, you should still have no problem practicing magic. Try to exert all your spiritual power. I remember the headmaster gave you a book of exercises, which I picked out at the library. If you use it, you won't have to draw the formation stroke by stroke. Of course, the prerequisite is that you need to practice the Five Elements Technique well."

Qin Shuxue nodded, and just as she was about to find a place to practice, Heng Li called out to her, "Where are you going? From today on, don't even think about leaving me more than five steps away. If I still can't protect you, I'll just commit suicide."

Brother, aren't you being a little radical? Qin Shuxue stopped immediately and sat down on the ground obediently.

After practicing for almost half an hour, Heng Li also took Qin Shuxue to run a few laps, and finally allowed Qin Shuxue to take a break and took her to the kitchen. Qin Shuxue was a little helpless about Heng Li's overprotection because she really wanted to go to the toilet. But seeing Heng Li busy in the kitchen, she was too embarrassed to say anything, so she held it in there and prayed that Heng Li would finish cooking quickly.
