I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Upon entering the camp, Xiao Yue was immediately captivated by Hua Nianrou's gentle and alluring demeanor.

What a lovely girl! If she were a man, he would definitely be smitten.

But what she's thinking now is, if she had that kind of temperament, would her master be unable to resist her?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yue recalled the hug from before, and her heart began to race with anxiety.

She wasn't flustered in front of an army of 80,000, but now she's genuinely a little scared.

How could you do such a heinous thing?

It might not be long before her master comes and expel her from the sect.

Xiao Yue became increasingly panicked as she thought about it, and her thoughts drifted further and further away.

"General?"

It was Hua Nianrou who brought Xiao Yue's wandering thoughts back.

"Uh, I'm here, what's up?"

"General, you seem to have something on your mind? Perhaps I can help you resolve your worries."

Hua Nianrou stayed here to wait for Xiao Yue in order to repay her debt of gratitude.

Seeing that Xiao Yue was in trouble, he naturally took the initiative to inquire about her situation.

Xiao Yue felt conflicted.

Her barracks were mostly filled with men, with very few women.

It seems that her mother, who was born at the same time as her, and some of her sisters were all left behind in the Taibai Mountains because they could not endure the hardships of marching. She also left behind some guards who were unwilling to go on the expedition, but it is unknown how loyal they were.

But none of this matters to Xiao Yue anymore; Xiao Yue had given them a choice.

Walking together might lead to certain death, or it might lead to wealth and prosperity.

Staying in the mountains and hiding might offer temporary safety, but as someone who has traveled far from home, she can't guarantee what will happen in the future.

In short, Xiao Yue was actually quite lonely in the army.

Even though she is loved and supported by many, there are still some heartfelt things she can't find anyone to confide in.

After all, she was a princess, which created a barrier between her and her subordinates, and between men and women.

Hearing Hua Nianrou say this, her urge to confide immediately surged up.

"I'm telling you this, but you can't tell anyone else."

Xiao Yue felt an instant liking for Hua Nianrou upon first sight; otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to confide in her.

Hua Nianrou said earnestly, "General, rest assured, I will keep your words to myself and never let anyone know."

Lin Yi: "..."

They're about to whisper something, I'd better hurry up and leave!

"It's not a big secret, and it's not that serious. It's just... do you have someone you like?"

Lin Yi: "..."

He had intended to leave, but upon hearing those words, he was unable to move his legs.

Listen again; this topic might be related to him.

Even if it's unrelated, it's still necessary to understand the apprentice's thoughts and feelings.

Wu Yun glanced sideways at Lin Yi, who seemed unaware that he secretly enjoyed observing others.

Before, they were secretly watching Xiao Yue become the leader, but now they're even eavesdropping on this kind of topic?

If he overheard that Xiao Yue liked him, wouldn't that be equivalent to Xiao Yue indirectly confessing her feelings?

Even Xiao Se couldn't do that!

She has to destroy it!

"Meow!"

A shrill meow suddenly rang out. Xiao Yue, who was about to say something, quickly came out to investigate upon hearing the meow.

Lin Yi didn't have any invisibility abilities; he relied entirely on his agility to sneak in. So, he quickly slipped away and then angrily rubbed the cat's head.

Hmph, do you think I can only hear you near the camp?

My reputation for hearing a thousand miles is not undeserved.

However, Lin Yi did not do that.

A virtuous person is cautious even when alone. So what if his apprentice likes someone? He can suppress his curiosity!

Chapter 395 is too exciting!

Hua Nianrou was also very curious about the female general in front of her; her heroic and dashing appearance was exactly what she admired.

Upon hearing her question, Hua Nianrou could easily guess that this young general probably had someone she liked.

Strangely enough, discussing such topics always seems to bring girls closer together.

Hua Nianrou smiled and said, "If we're talking about someone I love, I guess I do have one."

That person only appeared tonight, which just happened to reduce one regret in her short life.

At least I experienced that feeling before I died.

"who is it?"

Xiao Yue is also very gossipy.

Hua Nianrou didn't really want to answer this question; she just wanted to keep it a secret. So she asked in return, "Didn't the general say he was having some troubles? Could it be related to my sweetheart?"

"Uh, not really."

Xiao Yue felt a little embarrassed and said shyly, "I just wanted to know if you could distinguish between liking and being grateful."

Hua Nianrou tilted her head and looked at Xiao Yue, her big eyes filled with doubt. Xiao Yue then continued, "There was this one person who saved me when I was in the most danger, and then I..."

She spoke somewhat hesitantly; even a decisive female general on the battlefield couldn't help but feel shy when talking about her feelings.

"In short, I think I might like him, but maybe it's because I'm too grateful to him and don't know how to repay him. Perhaps, the only way is to repay him with my body."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Yue's face became even more rosy, as if water could seep out if you pinched it.

Having said that, Hua Nianrou naturally understood.

Isn't this the same style as hers?

"You're so shy, you must already have the answer in your heart, but you're just not quite sure, right?"

Hua Nianrou is quite sensible.

She happened to have been rescued by different people.

Song Yun rescued her from the Hu people and raised her. Hua Nianrou was naturally grateful to him. In her eyes, Song Yun's kindness to her was higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea. She would be willing to die for Song Yun.

But this feeling is only gratitude, more like the affection between father and daughter, rather than romantic love.

She was grateful when Gu Tingxuan tried to save her, and she was also touched when Xiao Xuan protected her on Xiao Yue's orders. But when Lin Yi saved her, her heart pounded, and she felt as if she was about to die, yet also as if she had been given a new lease on life.

Therefore, putting herself in Xiao Yue's shoes, Hua Nianrou felt that Xiao Yue actually knew the truth, but was just too shy to admit it.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue quickly retorted, "How could that be? I don't know. If I knew, why would I be asking you?"

Unfortunately, under Hua Nianrou's watchful gaze, she ultimately crumbled.

After a long while, she asked weakly, "I may like you, but there's a huge gap between our social statuses. What should I do?"

Hua Nianrou smiled.

If she had a healthy body like Xiao Yue, she would definitely pursue that man without hesitation.

Although books often say that girls should be reserved and demure, she didn't quite agree.

Happiness must be earned; you can't just wait for it to come to you.

She found the young female general adorable, and although she acknowledged her feelings, she lacked a bit of courage.

Perhaps, giving her a little courage is the best way to repay her kindness.

"If you like someone, go for it boldly. There may be a huge gap between you, but as long as you work hard to catch up with her, the distance between you will eventually be shortened. What do you think?"

"Yup!"

After hearing Hua Nianrou's words, Xiao Yue, who was originally uneasy, immediately calmed down.

She did a fantastic job today!

So what if Lin Yi expelled her from the sect?

This just eliminates the master-disciple relationship between them!

Anyway, she secretly hugged Lin Yi today, which definitely brought them much closer. They'll get closer little by little each day, and one day, she'll stand by Lin Yi's side.

“What you said today has been very helpful to me. If my master and I can really achieve our goal in the future, I will definitely invite you to our wedding.”

"General, you are too kind. I'm afraid that..."

Hua Nianrou was about to respond to Xiao Yue with a smile when she suddenly felt that something was amiss.

Your master?

You actually like your master?

This...this...this...

That's so exciting!

In this day and age, the strict rules of etiquette are not as severe as they used to be, but falling in love with one's master is still a violation of the established order.

If word gets out, it will still cause a worldwide uproar.

It was only at this moment that Hua Nianrou understood what Xiao Yue meant by the chasm. However, at this moment, Hua Nianrou felt even more admiration for Xiao Yue.

She is truly a brave person to dare to challenge worldly views for the sake of love.

"Well... I wish you success."
