Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

Take a deep breath.

Gu Beihan abruptly changed the subject and said...

"Half a day is definitely not enough time to evacuate the people of Yunzhou."

"Either reinforce the city's defensive formation now, or take the initiative to attack and meet the enemy."

"Otherwise, if a war breaks out, the casualties in Yunzhou will be considerable. How will you explain that to Her Majesty the Empress in the court then?"

She was originally aloof and noble.

now.

But even his tone became earnest and persuasive.

He had been completely worn down by the boy in front of him and had lost all his temper.

of course.

There may also be reasons for not being able to focus one's attention.

In short.

If Su Qing still doesn't listen...

She was truly at her wit's end.

"Oh?"

The boy raised an eyebrow.

His deep, intense gaze was incredibly intimidating as he slowly fixed his eyes on her and said in a low voice.

"why?"

"...Why what?"

"Palace Master Gu, you are neither a member of the Dao Alliance nor the Imperial Dynasty, are you?"

Su Qing suddenly smiled and said meaningfully.

"For your great cause."

The more chaotic the world is, the better.

"The Black Fox Calamity that befell Yunzhou is simply a calamity they were destined to face. They can only overcome it themselves. If that's the case, why are you so concerned about the safety of the people of Yunzhou?"

The celestial maiden before him was slightly taken aback.

A moment of confusion flashed in his cold eyes.

Yes.

Why should I care so much?

After all.

I was forced to come to Yunzhou this time.

She is also very clear about her current role: to become stronger as quickly as possible while working as a henchman.

Then we'll take that wretched little thief back into our hands.

and so.

I don't really need to care about the people of Yunzhou.

Because of.

Had I been influenced by the boy in front of me without even realizing it?

still is……

She wasn't worried about the people of Yunzhou.

Rather, something happened here, and the young man in front of me can't explain it to the dynasty?

The thought had just popped into my head.

The boy in front of them just happened to speak.

"My Lady Goddess."

"You're not worried about me, are you?"

The voice in my heart overlapped with the voice of the boy.

A certain moment.

The calm and aloof goddess of the immortal sect even suspected that the young man in front of her had heard her thoughts.

A rare look of panic flashed across his usually aloof and detached face.

"Click——"

Ok?

What sound.

Gu Beihan slightly widened his cold eyes.

Some stared in disbelief at the camera lens that the boy had somehow produced.

"Kacha kacha——"

Su Qing pulled out the picture that had been developed on the spot.

The goddess in the picture showed a rare expression of panic, which weakened her aloof and distant temperament, and even made her look somewhat cute.

This is an expression that is very rare to see on Gu Beihan.

The boy glanced at it.

He then stuffed the picture and camera together into the mustard seed—right in front of Gu Beihan.

After doing all that, he calmly waved to her and said in a low voice.

"Okay, let's go."

"Back to work."

Gu Beihan: "..."

She felt like she had a whole bunch of complaints stuck in her chest, unable to get them out.

I feel terrible.

I took three deep breaths this time.

It took me a while to calm myself down.

Remembering the thought that had just popped into my head, I immediately rejected it.

impossible.

Absolutely impossible!

I was just momentarily out of my mind. I don't know why, but I've been feeling down lately.

That's the reason.

Correct.

and also.

Gu Beihan reached out his hand to the boy.

"Hmm? What?"

Su Qing blinked and asked.

"Want me to help you, Master?"

"What were you doing last night? You've become this weak."

The goddess's lips twitched slightly.

The anger in this moment was greater than all the anger in the first half of his life combined.

It took Gu Beihan all his composure to finally utter a single sentence.

"Give me the picture."

That kind of thing.

That was so embarrassing.

I don't want to be left behind.

What's more, it ended up in the hands of this despicable little thief!

"Oh."

"I want to ask my master for something."

"Should we change the tone?"

The boy spoke in a nonchalant tone.

But what he said never disappointed.

Gu Beihan: "..."

Think it over and over again.

She couldn't help but bite her lip.

finally.

The aloof goddess ultimately chose to compromise.

The picture certainly left people with a sore throat.

But if I show my lack of self-confidence in front of Su Qing again, he might record it in some way.

Wouldn't that lead to a vicious cycle?

No.

wrong!

The goddess composed herself.

I glanced at the countless dark shadows that had spread out to an extremely close distance.

I feel like I've gone completely insane.

In this critical moment when a formidable enemy is pressing in, they're chatting about trivial matters with this petty thief.

It's clear that we've been influenced by too much.

hateful.

We can no longer let ourselves be led by the nose.

Thinking.

She simply closed her eyes slightly—after all, with her abilities, she could discern the road using only her five senses, so she didn't need to use her eyes.

He seemed to be saying yes to orders, but absolutely no talking to you again.

He's become somewhat self-destructive.

Cute.

Su Qing smiled.

I didn't pay much attention to it.

After a while.

Until the two returned to Guting Temple.

Gu Beihan belatedly realized: No, going back to the temple at a time like this?

Shouldn't we have gone to support the outer city immediately?

This must be the first time the people of Yunzhou have encountered the Black Stream Calamity. If left unattended, the city's protective array will likely collapse before the city itself breaks down!
