Shi Ning turned to look at Jing Li and said in surprise: "Why are you back?"

Jing Li's eyes were still fixed on Shi Ning's hand holding Yao Changze. Shi Ning realized that he was still holding Yao Changze and quickly let go.

Jing Licai said, "Can't I come back?"

Shi Ning said, not knowing why, "Of course."

Yao Changze's eyes flickered between the two of them, "You two..." After a pause, he said incredulously, "You two "You two live together?"

Yes, but it felt awkward to say this from Yao Changze's mouth.

Yao Changze had never seen Jing Li in human form and subconsciously thought he was Shi Ning's Taoist companion.

Seeing that Yao Changze seemed to be in a relationship with Shi Ning, Jing Li raised his eyebrows and walked towards Shi Ning and said, "Why did you just come back? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Shi Ning felt strange, didn't you leave on your own? But he didn't show it on his face. He just said, "I didn't know you were waiting for me." Then he introduced them to the two of them, "This is Jing Li."

"This is Yao Changze."

Yao Changze looked lonely and accepted perfunctorily. A sound. Jing Li, on the other hand, said enthusiastically: "What do you have to do with Shi Ning?"

"Didn't you say that Mo Xiudu and Shuntian both returned to the land of disrespect?"

Shi Ning echoed: "Yes, why are you still here? , be careful of being discovered by others."

Listening to Shi Ning's words, Jing Li was inexplicably happy. Although he discovered Yao Changze, it was obvious that he was not the other person Shi Ning said. Does that mean that she is one of her own in her heart?

Yao Changze tried his best to ignore Jing Li next to him, looked at Shi Ning and said, "I have something to tell Master Shi, can you avoid it?"

Jing Li squinted his eyes and looked unkind. He was actually asked to avoid it. No one had ever dared to ask him to avoid it. The more I look at Yao Changze, the more disgusting I feel. But when he looked at Shi Ning, he had another look, pretending to be harmless.

Shi Ning hesitated for a moment, but still looked at Jing Li, meaning to avoid it.

Although Shi Ning didn't say anything, Jing Li still felt hurt. Even if he was dissatisfied with Yao Changze, he could only silently return to the room with Shan Nai. But before leaving, he still didn't forget to give Yao Changze a hug, and said in a friendly tone: "Then come back quickly, I'll wait for you."

Shi Ning hummed, feeling that it was weird for this person to come back from a trip.

After watching Jing Li and Shan Nai walk away, Yao Changze said, "Is Jing Li your Taoist companion?"

Shi Ning looked back, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, denied, "No."

"That is?" Yao Changze asked tentatively.

Shi Ning thought about his relationship with Jing Li and said, "A friend of mine."

Yao Changze twitched his lips and said, "A friend who lives in the same room?"

Shi Ning frowned, "If we don't live in the same room, he lives in the same room ." Another room."

"Thank you for reminding me about last time." Shi Ning didn't want to discuss the topic of Jing Li with Yao Changze anymore, so he took the initiative to mention what happened last time.

Yao Changze: "Did Shunzhen really pull you into a dream? It seems that he was seriously injured by you, and he has been recuperating in seclusion these days."

Shi Ning thought about the three years in the dream and said: "Actually, in the end, it was thanks to Jing "Li, otherwise I might not be able to come out for a while."

"Jing Li was also pulled into the dream?" Yao Changze heard this name that he didn't want to hear again.

Shi Ning said: "Anyway, thank you for reminding me."

Yao Changze mumbled: "As long as you're okay."

"Here's this for you." Shi Ning took out a small green porcelain bottle from the mustard seeds and handed it over, "Although It can't completely detoxify you, but at least it won't hurt so much."

Yao Changze took the porcelain bottle carefully as if he had found a treasure, and took a pill without hesitation: "Although Shuntian's vitality was seriously injured this time, he still has a lot of energy. I won’t just give up.”

If that’s all, it doesn’t look like Sainty’s style. Shi Ning asked: "Do Baili Ying and Shuntian still have contact?"

Yao Changze shook his head and said uncertainly: "It seems that the two of them had a dispute, and I'm not sure about the details."

"But recently, we have to Pay attention to the spirit beasts."

"Spirit beasts?" Shi Ning asked, "What's wrong with the spirit beasts?"

"Shuntian killed many spirit beasts in order to obtain the beast pill."

Shi Ning asked: "Did Shuntian personally carry out the annihilation of the mermaid clan?"

Yao Changze shook his head again to express his ignorance, "The reason I stay here this time is to remind you that there are many spiritual beasts in Chengtianmen's Hundred Beast Valley, so it is inevitable that they will not become Shuntian's target. It will be bad if he improves a lot."

Shi Ning: "I understand, what about you?"

Yao Changze looked up at Tianse and said, "Go back, my sister. Still there."

"Be careful."

Yao Changze looked at Shi Ning for a long time and said, "Goodbye." After that, he left with his sword.

When Jing Li saw the person leaving, he silently appeared behind Shi Ning. When Shi Ning turned around, he saw what looked like a wall behind him.

"Why did you come out suddenly?"

Jing Li snorted and said nothing arrogantly. He has figured it out these days. If he leaves like this, wouldn't it make room for people like Yao Changze? He wouldn't do such a thing, he would just dazzle in front of Shi Ning. This is how love lasts for a long time. Maybe Shi Ning would realize that she was good that day and confess to herself when she was happy. Jing Li thought happily. Of course, Shi Ning has always been shy, so he might be embarrassed to confess, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he took the initiative to confess. In short, if love at first sight doesn't work, he will fall in love over time. He had already decided to practice and ascend with Shi Ning, and he absolutely couldn't give up because of this small problem.

"Can't I come out after he leaves? Am I so shameless?" Jing Li asked in his soul.

Shi Ning felt that Jing Li was talking nonsense, "What nonsense are you talking about."

"Are you still leaving when you come back this time?" Shi Ning asked.

Jing Li just wanted to say that he didn't want to leave, but he felt that he was so determined to leave last time. Wouldn't it be very shameful to come back this time and say he won't leave again? The words came to his lips and he said, "It depends on the situation."

"Are you going to drive me away?" Jing Li always had divergent thinking, especially when it came to matters such as emotions, which he knew nothing about. It was inevitable that he would think about all the things. Combined with the fact that I saw Shi Ning pulling Yao Changze just now, could it be that Shi Ning likes Yao Changze?

Jing Li suddenly raised alarm bells and looked at Shi Ning seriously, "Are you going to drive me away because of Yao Changze?"

Shi Ning had just drank a cup of tea, but before he could swallow it, he almost coughed again because of Jing Li's words.

"Where are all this? Why should I drive you away? And what does this have to do with Yao Changze?" Shi Ning suspected that Jing Li had damaged his brain after being out for the past few days.

Hearing this, Jing Li felt a little relieved, but not long after, he felt uneasy again.

When Shi Ning saw the trance in Jing Li's eyes, he knew that he was thinking nonsense. His palms were half bent, and he knocked the table with his knuckles to remind: "Don't think wildly."

Jing Li curled his lips, "I didn't think so."

Shi Ning saw Jing Li. He was quiet on the side and didn't pay much attention. He took out the bronze key given by Daozu from his arms and placed it in his palm with a focused expression.

Jing Li silently came over and asked, pretending not to know anything, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the gift Daozu gave me."

Jing Li snorted and asked in a light tone, "Do you like it?"

Shi Ning replied without hesitation: "I like it."

He didn't even know what it was for, but he liked it. Is Daozu more important in Shi Ning's heart than Jing Li? Jing Li even started to feel jealous and said sourly: "You have never met Daozu, how come you like this gift? Besides, you don't know what it is for."

Shi Ning held the key lovingly and said: "This is a gift from Daozu . It must be useful, but Daozu didn't have the chance to tell me in retreat. I'll ask him when I see him next time."

Shi Ning cherishes the days of retreat with Daozu. For her, here. During these five lonely years, Daozu was like a master and elder brother. Without Taoist ancestors, I would definitely be stumbling in my own cultivation. I don’t know if I can get out of seclusion in the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.

Seeing the gentle and expectant look in Shi Ning's eyes unconsciously, Jing Li felt even more uncomfortable. If Shi Ning knew that he was Xuanzhen Taoist, would he be very angry?

Jing Li was wondering if he should confess to Shi Ning now. Shi Ning would definitely not tell others that Dao Zu was a dragon, but what if Shi Ning knew the truth and would be very angry and lose all the goodwill he had with Dao Zu? Wouldn't it be even more useless for me?

Jing Li asked insinuatingly: "Shi Ning, what kind of person do you think Daozu is?"

Shi Ning held the key and said seriously: "He is a very good person."

"Why is he good?"

"He is just very good. When the sect was in decline, my grandfather went to ask Daozu to protect the sect. Daozu was so advanced at that time that he obviously had better choices, but he still came to Chengtianmen and never disliked us for hundreds of years. Dao Ancestor will help us solve everything. From far away, there is the matter of the man-eating flower, to the recent matter, there is the soul-fixing needle in Xuanwu's body, and the matter of me seizing the body. During the retreat, Dao Ancestor is helping us. "Shi Ning. Said in a familiar manner.

The more Jing Li listened, the more embarrassed he became, "Actually, it's not that good." It was all a matter of convenience.

Shi Ning said with a serious face, "You are not allowed to talk about ancestors like that."

Jing Li pursed his lips and said, "Okay."

"Then what kind of person do you think I am?" Jing Li then asked.

Shi Ning corrected him: "You are a dragon."

"Oh, what kind of dragon do you think I am?"

Shi Ning put away the key and smiled at Jing Li: "Silly dragon."

"How stupid am I?"

" It's just stupid. "How can you like someone if you are not stupid, knowing that you will be punished by God?

Jing Li was unconvinced and said: "I'm not stupid." Shi

Ning: "Very stupid."

Jing Li asked: "Is the Taoist ancestor stupid?"

Shi Ning corrected: "The Taoist ancestor is not stupid. You are not allowed to speak ill of the Taoist ancestor."

Jing Li He became more and more afraid to tell Shi Ning the truth. After all, in Shi Ning's heart, Daozu was omnipotent and a very good person. And he, Jing Li, is just a stupid dragon.
