There was no smell of barbecue fumes on his body, but instead a mixture of fresh water and wood. I didn't know what the smell was, but it was light and clear.

The two of them started to keep some distance between them, but Akabane suddenly leaned over, and the smell filled his nose just right, as if he was immersed in water.

The distance is too close.

In the noisy environment, there was a quiet and silent air that belonged to them alone. Lu Jinan couldn't help but hold his breath.

Akabane looked at the tip of his tongue and licked his dry lips, then he looked away.

The person next to them happened to make eye contact and immediately said, as if afraid it was too late, "I haven't really thanked you for your help. If there is a chance, you can come to our Xuantian Sect as guests. We will definitely treat you well."

"Brother!! You didn't see it... I'm sorry, my brother's eyesight is not very good, I will drag him back now." After saying that, he bowed to the two of them with the hand holding the barbecue, then pulled the sleeve of the person next to him and left.

Lu Jinan smiled at them and said it was okay. When she turned around, her nose just brushed against his lips.

He then realized that

They are too close.

"Lu Jinan, what are you nervous about?"

Akabane watched his eyelashes fluttering rapidly and felt the beating of his chest when it pressed against hers.

He rarely felt his emotions so exposed, and it made him want to get closer.

So he moved closer, and when his breath hit his neck, the man couldn't help scratching it, feeling a little itchy.

"Don't just blame me, you're pretty nervous too, aren't you?" He looked up at him with a smile, his eyes sparkling as he asked, "Akabane, what are you thinking?"

"What do you take me for?"

Akabane looked at him, his dark pupils were bottomless, and the answer that came out of his mouth almost immediately was, "Family."

Lu Jinan was surprised and stunned for a moment. It was almost a beat late before he raised his eyes to look at his face and whispered, "Family?"

He stared intently at the man in front of him, his soft voice this time sincere.

"Thank you."

but,

I am sorry.

Suddenly his collar was grabbed, and Akabane's pupils suddenly dilated. He stared at the enlarged face in front of him, hunched his back, maintaining a stiff posture, not daring to move.

Lu Jinan stared at him, his hair falling on his forehead, casting a tiny silhouette on his face. Their noses touched, and their breaths entangled together.

Akabane pursed his lips unconsciously, his eyes inadvertently falling on his lips.

The lips opened slightly, and Akabane spoke first.

"Lu Jinan."

"Well, I'm here."

He heard a chuckle in front of him, and when he looked up, he met the figure of Liuli, who had a smile on his face.

"But Master, do you know that Yun Yi has always liked you?"

Lu Jinan possesses all of Yun Yi's memories, including the cautious love for her. He knows that Chiyu can't see clearly, and he also knows that he has never understood.

"Since you don't want me to bring him back, I'll have to bring him the unexpressed feelings for him."

Lu Jinan withdrew his hand and stepped back with a smile, but his arm was pulled back by someone.

"You can express yourself however you want." He frowned, and the strength between his fingers increased inadvertently. "Don't try to escape again."

The distance between them closed again, his breathing heavy on his face, his gaze slowly moved from his lips upwards until it stopped when it met those eyes.

Lu Jinan lowered his head and tilted it slightly.

"you do not know."

"You don't even know who you're dealing with right now."

"Do you understand the feeling of chaotic memory and inexplicable emotions?" Lu Jinan held his hand and led him to touch his chest. Chiyu was unconsciously moved by his emotions.

The person in front of him didn't know what he was thinking about, his eyes became a little empty. The two of them hugged each other by the campfire, but Akabane felt that the person in front of him was actually a piece of ice.

"I don't like this." Like a feather, she tapped a spot on his chest without any weight.

He turned his head to look at him, unable to explain how he felt at the moment. He just felt that his throat was blocked tightly by something and he had no way to breathe.

After holding it in for a long time, I only heard Chiyu stammering, "You say, say, we are friends, Ayi is family, and Anan is a friend."

Lu Jinan looked up at him as he spoke, and seeing how he was trying hard to separate the two of them from each other with different expressions on his face, he suddenly lowered his chin and laughed out loud.

As if being pulled by a thin thread, he looked into those eyes and a smile appeared on his face again because of him.

Akabane couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. He might never understand the meaning of dividing one person into two people, but he felt that he was very confused.

He was also very unhappy.

He tilted his head and happened to meet the dimple on his lips. His disguised amber eyes were clear and bright. At this moment, Akabane thought of a cat he had raised when he was in the mortal world.

He chuckled softly, his hand coming up to rub his head.

Lu Jinan stared at his smile for a moment, truly dazzled by him. Although it was true that he always complained about his facial paralysis, when this kind of person smiled sincerely, it was different from usual.

He had a cold and aloof appearance, yet possessed the aura of a god. His smile was as cool as a mountain spring, or like the ripples in the water of a porcelain bowl.

A deafening sound of horse hooves came from far away and got closer. Everyone present immediately stood up and awakened their own magic weapons on alert.

Only those two people were unmoved by the commotion, but they had different thoughts and ignored each other.

When they looked up, they saw a Taoist wearing the same style of clothes as Min Jiu and his group.

"Hey! It's Big Brother and Uncle Master!"

Min Jiu waved first, but unfortunately he didn't know that Chiyu had set up a formation here, so no one would notice the existence of this place.

But the horses started to wander around, and the leader immediately stopped and said, "There is a formation here."

They do have some skills, and Akabane waited quietly to see how they would perform.

The older Taoist in yellow robes chanted a spell and closed his eyes.

After a long while, a black mark appeared between his eyebrows. He looked at the man on horseback, shook his head, and said to him, "It's a very bad omen!"

That man was the only one who was not wearing the uniform of his colleagues. He had his head covered and looked like the one giving orders among them.

"Open the formation."

As soon as that person spoke, the other people on the horses dismounted one after another.

Bright flags fluttered in the wind under the blue sky, and jagged swords pierced the sky, emitting a cold light, with runes etched on the tips of the swords. Suddenly, a strong smell of blood filled the air.

"Oh no, it's the Ten Killing Formation. That, benefactor, this is someone from our sect. It must be a misunderstanding!"

Before the man finished speaking, another person grabbed his wrist and said sternly, "Brother, if the sect issues the Ten Killing Orders, it will only be activated when encountering the ten most difficult evil monsters." After saying that, he glanced at the opposite side.

Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense, Little Guapi suddenly broke the awkwardness and asked, "What is the Ten Killing Formation?"

"The Ten Killing Formation, also known as the sect's ultimate killing formation, uses the essence of cinnabar's heart blood as a guide to activate the devouring formation. Once activated, no matter how advanced a demon is, its cultivation level will be devoured within the space of an incense stick. The person who activates it will gain all of the demon's power. However, once this method is used, it will greatly damage one's lifespan. If the demon bites back, the person will be killed instantly."

"This is the sect's forbidden formation. How could Master Uncle and the others activate this formation based on that person's words?"

Min Jiu asked doubtfully, "How can we have any of the ten troublesome evil monsters here?"

It was just an ordinary question, but it made everyone break out in cold sweats, as if they were in purgatory.

The bonfire that was warm and beautiful just now has now turned into a gloomy and cold battlefield.

Qingyi slowly retreated and gently pulled the melon peel next to Minjiu.

Guapi didn't understand why he was being sneaky, so he just stood beside Minjiu.

Qingyi narrowed his eyes, looked at the lifelines of everyone in the air, and could only sigh.

"I told you that your fate would be so difficult. Even if I had protected you at that time, you wouldn't have survived for long."
