I heard you had a white moonlight who died young.

The two disciples silently accepted Bing Nandong's reprimand, their heads bowed in dismay: "Senior Brother, we know we were wrong, we will accept our punishment when we return."

"Nothing should be taken lightly or treated frivolously."

"Yes."

Seeing that the two of them truly showed remorse, Bing Nandong stopped dwelling on the matter: "Well then, you can continue to carry out the mission as arranged by Senior Brother Lu."

At this moment, the two disciples realized that Lu Changsheng was not there: "Senior Brother, where is Senior Brother Lu?"

"I have something to attend to for now, so I will take over this task from now on."

"Really?" The two disciples were clearly very excited, muttering as they left, "With our senior brother here, it will definitely be resolved quickly."

Fan Zhiyi watched the two figures disappear into the distance, feeling a mix of emotions. These disciples genuinely admired Bing Nandong and regarded him as their lifelong goal. However, the various actions of Tianyun Sect, the unpredictable attitude of the higher-ups, and Qin Shuan's words were all things that Fan Zhiyi was concerned about.

Even he could think of this, so it's impossible that Bing Nandong had no doubts. Perhaps he was just unwilling to accept it, or perhaps he had his own considerations.

"Fan Zhiyi, you actually look quite good like this." Just as Fan Zhiyi was lost in thought, Bing Nandong suddenly spoke up.

Fan Zhiyi glared at him, then saw Bing Nandong leaning slightly towards him, the smile in his eyes like starlight tinting the otherwise pristine night.

Fan Zhiyi suppressed the flutter in his heart and walked forward, ignoring him. As if convincing himself, he silently told himself: "It's good to look good. He's soaked to the bone now. This guy might be mocking me. He's always good at making sarcastic remarks."

Bing Nandong followed up: "Calm down. You seem unusually irritable tonight because of Qin Shuan."

"How could you not be angry? Why didn't you stop me then?"

Fan Zhiyi was referring to the time when he was scaring Qin Shuan. Why didn't Bing Nandong stop him? Wasn't he afraid that he would really get angry and chop Qin Shuan up?

If Bing Nandong had intervened and prevented him from harming Qin Shuan, he wouldn't have felt so useless. He could be so soft-hearted even when facing someone who had always wanted to kill him. He might have been able to deceive himself and feel a little better.

"I know you won't."

Fan Zhiyi gave a forced smile and a light snort: "Then you overestimate me. I can poison, murder, and anything else."

"..." Bing Nandong didn't speak. Fan Zhiyi also realized that he had spoken carelessly and misspoke, so he patted his mouth and said, "I just spoke a little too quickly, don't take it to heart. Speaking of which, you're probably more upset than I am, since you care about your junior brother Qin Shuan."

Bing Nandong did not answer for a moment, and after a long while he said, "I had no idea that he harbored so much resentment towards me."

Seeing Bing Nandong like this, Fan Zhiyi raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "It's not your fault. Some people are just not good enough on their own. No matter how much you want to help them, it's useless. You shouldn't attribute such unfounded mistakes to yourself. Being less responsible in these matters will make things much easier."

Qi Muzhiyi could think of everything. After all, he was just slow-witted, not really stupid. Lu Changfu had deliberately arranged things this way tonight, and Qin Shuanyou had suddenly appeared. If you told him it was a coincidence, even a ghost wouldn't believe it. But never mind, we'll talk about it later.

Fan Zhiyi sighed: "Do you think it's reliable to hand Qin Shuan over to Lu Changfu for escort?"

As soon as he said it, Fan Zhiyi realized he had asked a pointless question. Given Lu Changfu's position in Bing Nandong's heart, he was definitely reliable. Even if Lu Changfu released the person halfway through, Bing Nandong might still side with Lu Changfu without absolute evidence.

Sure enough, Bingnan said in the winter, "Don't worry, Changfu knows what he should and shouldn't do."

Fan Zhiyi ignored him, pulled his hand back, and then comforted himself, thinking that he should just pray that Lu Changfu was really as Bing Nandong said.

"Feel sorry."

Fan Zhiyi was taken aback, puzzled: "What do you have to apologize to me for?"

Bing Nandong shook his head: "Tianyun Sect will repay all the justice it owes, I promise." His eyes were fixed on Fan Zhiyi, sincere and clear, eyes that had not yet been tainted by the filth of the world.

Fan Zhiyi said half-jokingly, "Really?"

"You can trust me."

An innocent child. Fan Zhiyi looked at Bing Nandong. He had seen many unfair things in his life. Even if this was a novel, absolute fairness would be on the side of the protagonist. This kind of bias was unfair in itself.

Strangely, Fan Zhiyi didn't want to reveal this to Bing Nandong, so he simply replied perfunctorily, "Okay."

Fan Zhiyi had almost forgotten that he came here on a mission. Damn Bai Bai, why hasn't it shown up yet? Its host almost died again, does it know that? Irresponsible dog system.

That was the end of that topic. Bing Nandong looked at Fan Zhiyi's limping gait and said, "You always get hurt when I'm not watching you."

"You look just as injured as I am," Fan Zhiyi muttered. "Oh, you don't know, I've been so bored these past few days without you. There's no one to talk to."

"Then why don't you contact me using a talisman?"

Fan Zhiyi was speechless when this was mentioned: "Doesn't this talisman need fire to burn? Where am I going to find fire for you now? Besides..." Moreover, there aren't many talismans, and Fan Zhiyi wanted to use them sparingly so that he wouldn't find that he had no talismans when he really needed them.

However, when he needed it, he couldn't use it.

"I forgot to prepare a tinderbox for you. Couldn't you have bought a box of tinderboxes yourself?" It was almost as if she was saying that Fan Zhiyi was slow-witted and couldn't figure out a solution on his own.

"I'd like to, but how could I dare to make so many demands when I'm with Lu Changfu and the others? What if they find me troublesome and abandon me halfway through?" Fan Zhiyi then waved his hand irritably. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Ugh, why is my back aching and my chest feeling tight? It's so uncomfortable."

Bing Nandong opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something more, but seeing that Fan Zhiyi didn't want to bring it up again, he said, "I will be more prepared next time." Then he grabbed Fan Zhiyi's hand through his sleeve and channeled his spiritual energy into it: "Your current symptoms are the aftereffects of possession, and they are quite serious."

Fan Zhiyi realized that his outburst of anger was somewhat inexplicable, so he calmed himself down and softened his tone: "So you mean this ghost is quite powerful?"

"Yes, but this ghost is probably also being influenced by the Ghost Gate and is constantly getting stronger. If it is not stopped in time, it may cause trouble."

Bing Nandong's spiritual power made him feel much better, but Fan Zhiyi was a little worried about Bing Nandong: "Have your previous injuries healed?"
