Chapter 10: Observing Changes Silently

  Sitting high on the trunk of a large tree, sheltered by the lush branches and leaves, Beigong Rouying leaned against the trunk with one hand supporting her head and the other half-raised, gazing at the beautiful butterfly perched on her finger, its wings fluttering occasionally. Her expression was icy cold, "You say, they've started taking action?"

  She didn't show any surprise on her face, for those stubborn people, their greed and selfishness, she understood them all too well, it was just that she didn't want to waste time dealing with them.

  "Yes, Master. Be careful, they've discovered that you're still alive." The magnetic male voice was laced with subtle worry, and Beitang Ruocheng didn't need to think about it to know that her family's Moon Wing must be furrowing his brow at this moment, considering how to help her resolve the trouble.

  "Have you forgotten that I'm no longer the me from back then?" A simple sentence made Moon Wing suddenly realize, ah, he was worried and confused, how could he forget that his master's appearance, voice, and magical aura had all changed completely?

  And it's easy for the master to hide his current ordinary human identity.

  Look over there without speaking, Beigong Ruocheng also knew that he had figured it out and spoke again, with a hint of melancholy and helplessness: "Yueyi, do you think I'm too willful..."

  Every time night falls, she lies alone in bed, staring at the ceiling, accompanied by the cold moonlight, and the feeling of loneliness always wraps her tightly. The image of him enduring that pain for her will appear before her eyes again.

  If it weren't for her selfishness, everything wouldn't have turned out like this now.

  Thinking of Leng Qingchen's attitude towards her that had never improved, Beigong Ruoxuan's eyes dimmed down, did she really need to continue anymore?

  "Play your role well, other things are none of our business." Without the interest to continue chatting, Beigong Ruocheng lowered his hand and ended the communication.

  Through the leaves and branches, looking up at the azure sky, Beigong Ruocheng suddenly disappeared behind the tree trunk, she needed a brief relaxation.

  Soaring in the sky, hands held flat, eyes closed, moving with the wind.

  Let go of everything and surrender yourself completely to the spirit of the wind.

  A gentle breeze carried her body, taking her on a leisurely flight, helping her to vent the discontent in her heart, until the annoying thoughts dissipated before returning to the academy.

  She had just landed, Bei Gong Rou's gaze was calm and she glanced back quickly, her body spinning rapidly as a gust of wind shot out from her hand towards the silent and unexpected guest standing behind her.

  The opponent did not dodge or evade, and directly took North Palace Ruo Cong's attack head-on, retreating several steps and falling to one knee.

  He lifted his head up, for the impact just now made him slightly short of breath when speaking, and sweat seeped out from his cheeks.

  "Adult." Under the pressure of Beigong Ruocheng, she didn't even dare to mention her name, and could only address her in a monotonous honorific.

  The finally relaxed mood was suppressed again, Beigong Ruocheng's face was really gloomy, taking two steps forward, looking down at the opponent from a high position, holding back the urge to kill: "Who are you?"

  The other party did not say a word, but simply rolled up their sleeves, revealing the mark on their arm.

  The ancient blue totem, vivid and lifelike, seemed to be attached to his arm like a living creature.

  Looking at the exquisite tattoo, Beigong Ruocai's expression improved, and the murderous intent in his eyes was instantly withdrawn, restoring the calmness without ripples.

  Upon seeing Beigong Yurou's demeanor, the newcomer put down his sleeves and spoke with respect.

  "Master Nan is worried that you might be in trouble, so he sent me to protect you."

  "Get out of here." Not showing any gratitude, Beigong Ruocheng walked to his side and stopped: "Tell Nan, if she does this kind of unnecessary thing again, I will definitely help her remember it well!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.

  "Xiao Ning'er, was that said for my benefit?" Su Ya Nan emerged from the shadows, looking at Bei Gong Ruo Ning's gradually disappearing figure with a defeated expression. She thought she had hidden well enough, but didn't expect to still be seen through by Xiao Ning'er's discerning eyes.

  Was that sentence a warning to myself?

  Until she could no longer see Beigong Ruocheng, Su Yanan turned her head to look at the person kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her originally cheerful expression instantly turned icy cold. "Now, how should I punish you?"

  Three days passed quickly.

  At the school gate, Bei Gong Rou arrived on time with Anno's sleepy eyes.

  Anno hid the emerald green of her pupils with contact lenses, although Beigong Ruocheng didn't mind, it didn't mean others wouldn't mind, she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Beigong Ruocheng because of herself.

  "Really slow, as expected from a poor background, not even a bit of etiquette." With her hands clasped together, a relatively pretty young girl looked at Anno with disdain and let out a cold snort, only glancing at them for a moment before turning her gaze away, as if they were dirty objects that would tarnish her eyes just by looking at them for another second.
