This tone was more like comfort, the words heavy, but in the ruins, it was quite fitting.
"Don't lie to me!"
"Dad, quickly drive Yun Ming to the hospital!"
Chen Nan's face darkened. If Yun Ming was in trouble, Xu Zhimo would probably be more anxious than anyone. Can't you see he's laughing at you?
Stupid daughter, in front of so many people... one moment you're talking about marriage, the next you're talking about marriage. How old are you? Do you still care about your reputation? After this, besides that little rascal Yun Ming... who else could you marry?
The head of the Public Security Bureau for this area was even standing nearby, watching the show. It was truly a complete loss of face.
He waved his hand fiercely and walked off, carrying his future son-in-law.
The few of them got into their cars and left... This was also why Hong Dou's temper wasn't very good right now. The bad guy deliberately made her a laughingstock, but even so...
She also felt heartbroken.
What does it mean to fight until your spirit collapses?
Hong Dou wasn't sure, but given Yun Ming's nature, to fight until he suppressed the entire Void, there must have been something unbearable for him.
She lowered her head and gently gazed at the young man's pale face.
Glancing at the rearview mirror, Dad was concentrating on driving, so the young girl secretly kissed the side of the young man's face.
"Be good. You have to listen to me from now on, understand?"
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!"
A violent coughing sound came from the driver's seat, greatly affecting the atmosphere. Hong Dou's face was burning, but she still responded indignantly.
"What are you coughing about...?"
"Do you have a cold? Take medicine for a cold!"
"Don't cough and infect others!"
Chen Nan: Huh?
He was so angry he almost laughed.
If he weren't driving, he would definitely turn around and separate the two little rascals. No... they're daring to do this in front of him.
He couldn't imagine how unrestrained the two of them usually were. They've already kissed, where are his hands!
You little rascal, is this how you agreed to me?
Be careful... you're being careful around my daughter's waist!?
But now was not the right atmosphere to discuss these things. He could only concentrate on driving, glancing over, then glancing again.
Gritting his teeth, furious.
Truly, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got!
Hong Dou wasn't shy; instead, she made Yun Ming blush.
Really... suddenly so gentle and understanding, he couldn't handle it. On the other side of the car seat, a jade puppet was blinking its eyes.
Qing Yi wanted to move, but a mech that had lost its limbs was very helpless. She could only look up at the sky, but the car roof was too low.
Looking down, the little girl's feet wiggled nervously.
Nice jade feet, nice legs too~
Looking straight ahead... #%$, there are people here!
Forget it, after all, he was also a lifesaver. She had no intention of disturbing the two young ones' intimacy. Young people nowadays!
Truly... the journey was safe, with no further incidents.
After many twists and turns, Yun Ming still returned to Yun Kui Mountain with Nicole, but at this moment, his mood was completely different from when he set out.
The gate of Yun Kui Mountain has some years on it.
It was ancient and tall, and the stone carving of the mountain-guarding divine beast was very majestic and domineering. It was early spring with no snow, but the weather was still a bit chilly.
Xu Zhimo did not return with them but remained in Chenghui Flat. He clearly had many things to deal with there.
Not to mention emotional issues, the recent anomaly in the Lemnian Hollow alone was enough to cause concern. The sudden outbreak of the Crete Void was like a wake-up call in everyone's ears.
The same thing could very likely happen in Chenghui Flat.
He had to immediately coordinate the Public Security Bureau and the Hollow Investigation Association, and contact the Defense Force to prepare emergency plans.
Chen Nan, meanwhile, was handling the funeral. His distant cousin, Chen Zhi, died in the line of duty, and his close friend, Xu Li, also perished... He still wore a mask of a smile.
Showing no joy or sorrow.
As if nothing in the world could shake him, he meticulously handled miscellaneous affairs, and Hong Dou was called back to his side.
He ordered her not to travel freely recently.
This wasn't aimed at Yun Ming; it was just that the girl had missed several days of class, and any more would make her wild.
The Senior Apprentice and Wind Chime were also down the mountain, dealing with the aftermath of the Qiong Long Encirclement, as well as recruiting outer Apprentices, expanding the production of pills and tools, and many other matters.
Yun Ming didn't go to greet them, otherwise, he would probably be scolded.
His Senior Apprentice would definitely pull his ear and take him back to his room to thoroughly examine his body, and then nag him... Normally, Yun Ming would like it.
But now, he was a little afraid of losing face in front of his Senior Apprentice, directly burrowing into her arms like a child to escape everything.
Many things couldn't be clearly explained to his Senior Apprentice.
Should he suddenly say that he came from another world, stirring up karma, which led to the death of everyone in the Orphanage?
He couldn't bring himself to say it.
Yun Ming's heart was urgently longing to find his Martial Uncle to ask some questions, but Bai Xian was still in a coma, and it was hard to say when she would wake up.
Martial Uncle, was this also within your divination?
But, why... He naturally wouldn't blame Bai Xian, but carrying the girl behind him was like carrying a huge mountain.
Making him feel a little breathless.
"Brother, the scenery on the mountain is so beautiful."
"Hmm, does Nicole like it here?"
"Wherever Brother is, I like it."
The little loli's mood was bright, like a spring sky, with warm and brilliant sunshine, chattering in Yun Ming's ear intermittently~
She wrapped her arms around Yun Ming's neck, lightly sniffing the scent unique to the young man, with nothing else on her mind.
Only Brother.
It was the young man in that basement who reached out to her.
"Can Nicole live with Brother?"
"Of course."
"But I won't be on the mountain often later. How about letting my two Apprentices accompany Nicole?"
"No... can't I be with Brother?"
Nicole's mood took a sharp turn for the worse, becoming a bit gloomy. Her small hands gently clenched into fists, and she asked cautiously.
"...You can."
Yun Ming ultimately couldn't bear it.
The girl was very dependent on him now, he knew, so since he saved her, he had to take good responsibility... He had originally planned to hand her over to his Senior Apprentice to take care of.
But that was under the condition that this disaster had not happened. Now, he and Nicole had formed an inseparable bond.
Then let her be his Apprentice.
Those who enter my mountain gate shall have their worries resolved.
He wanted to take Nicole to meet his Master, to meet his two Senior Apprentices. The chapter of the Orphanage was over.
From now on, you are my Apprentice.
From now on, I, your Master, will protect your path forward...
