After tossing and turning for a long time, she was very tired, as if she was falling apart. She didn't want to move anymore and just wanted to lie down.

As long as the master gives her enough love, she will not make any noise or trouble and will act like a good child.

Zhao Mengyao doesn't have any big ambitions and is even a bit of a failure.

She doesn't have much pursuit in cultivation, as long as she doesn't fall too far behind her senior sister.

She really likes the time she can spend with her master all day long.

……

When Zhao Kangping walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, he sent a message to Dongfang Jingrou using the communication jade slip.

However, she did not respond immediately.

After waiting for a while, he decided to try his luck in the city.

Maybe she was in a bad mood and went out to drink. The last time, Dongfang Jingrou was drinking in a tavern and caused quite a commotion. He had to help settle it.

So he ran around the taverns in the city.

But no one was found.

It seems that she didn't come to the city to drink this time.

He was just about to ask his senior sister if she knew where Dongfang Jingrou was, when he opened the communication jade slip, he saw the message from Dongfang Jingrou.

"what?"

The woman simply replied.

"Where are you?" Zhao Kangping asked.

After these words were sent, there was silence on the screen for a while.

hiss~

Do you have to think so long about such a simple question?

Maybe he was in a bad mood and didn't want to be disturbed.

But Zhao Kangping refused to give up.

"I'm going to find you now."

After a while, the other party sent a place name.

"Songmenpo."

Zhao Kangping knew this place, which was the place where the Ziyang Holy Land would pass to Chuanliu City.

From that hillside, you can overlook the entire River City.

……

On a hillside, Dongfang Jingrou sat on a flat stone, looking quietly into the distance.

"Aunt Jing, is there no room for maneuver in this matter?" Bai Qianqian stood not far behind Dongfang Jingrou.

Dongfang Jingrou turned her back to her and shook her head, saying, "The Holy Lord has made his decision, and no one can change it."

"Actually, I'm a little tired. It's time to make room for the young people."

Bai Qianqian remained noncommittal about this.

Today, Dongfang Jingrou happened to meet Bai Qianqian when she came out of the Holy Lord Temple. The Holy Maiden saw her loneliness and knew that she was in a bad mood.

After asking, I found out that Master had dismissed Aunt Jing from her position.

Dongfang Jingrou added, "It was indeed my fault that I was not prepared this time, causing so many sisters to sacrifice."

"If I had been calmer and thought before I acted, maybe this wouldn't have happened."

When she thought of so many sisters who died in this operation, her heart could not calm down for a long time.

Bai Qianqian said, "Don't be sad. Aunt Jing will take good care of the funeral arrangements for these sisters."

"I will take over your investigation of these families. Master said that this is my first test after becoming a Saint."

Everyone needs to grow, even saints are no exception.

Dongfang Jingrou: "Qianqian is already this old, she should be able to stand on her own now."

"Since the Holy Lord has entrusted this matter to you, you must do it well. If there is any need for me, you must let me know."

Although he was no longer in office, Dongfang Jingrou did not let it go immediately.

If the Holy Lord wants to gain more power, she has to take action against those families that are dependent on the Supreme Elder.

In fact, such actions started a few years ago, but they have only recently shown results.

"Aunt Jing, don't worry, I will take care of the rest." Saint Bai Qianqian is naturally a pure Saint Lord sect. For her master, she can do anything.

Master had protected her from the wind and rain for many years, and she couldn't live under Master's protection forever. So it was time for her to repay Master.

At this time, Bai Qianqian noticed a figure approaching rapidly in the sky.

"Now that he's here, I'll leave." After saying that, without waiting for Dongfang Jingrou's answer, she turned into a stream of light and flew towards the holy land.

When Zhao Kangping arrived, Bai Qianqian had already left for a long time. However, he still judged from her figure that she was his senior sister's good disciple.

"Why did you run to this place?" This was the first sentence Zhao Kangping said after landing.

Dongfang Jingrou glanced at him and didn't say anything. Instead, she stared ahead with empty eyes.

You can tell she is not in a good mood.

Zhao Kangping did not continue asking, but sat quietly next to her.

She didn't speak, so he didn't speak either, just stayed with her silently.

Dongfang Jingrou didn't speak until the night deepened and the moon was high in the sky.

Zhao Kangping was getting impatient.

He looked at the woman's beautiful profile and her graceful curves.

"It's a bit cold." He put his arm around her shoulders.

She didn't react and let his hand rest on her shoulder.

He said, "Don't be sad."

He didn't know how to comfort her.

The reason she was sad now was nothing more than losing her position at Suzaku and the death of so many sisters. As for which one came first, he didn't dare to speculate.

"If you don't know how to comfort me, then don't comfort me. You're fine when you don't say anything." She glared at the man, then fell into a daze again.

I didn't realize that she was the type who liked to be quiet and silent when she was in a bad mood.

For a long time, Zhao Kangping didn't say a word.

But he really wasn't used to just sitting there in the cool breeze, doing nothing.

"Are you cold?" Zhao Kangping said, looking at the woman's hair flying in the night wind.

He was just making small talk.

Monks are not afraid of cold or heat, so how could they be afraid of the cold?

"Say something."

"Stop arguing, are you annoying?" Dongfang Jingrou stood up and pushed him away.

She walked aimlessly on the hillside, quickly following the path downhill. Whenever she came to a fork in the road, she would just choose one and continue on.

Zhao Kangping chased after him, keeping a distance that was neither too far nor too close.

After chasing for about a cup of tea, the two came to a river.

She stopped walking.

Then she suddenly picked up a stone by the river and threw it into the river.

Lost one piece after another.

She didn't use her spiritual power, but just threw stones into the river to vent her anger.

She didn't stop until there were no more big rocks by the river.

When she turned around, she saw Zhao Kangping not far away.

Only then did she feel like speaking. She said, "Why are you following me?"

"Aren't I just worried that you'd be unable to get over it?" Zhao Kangping said.

"You are sick, I am fine, I am not depressed."

"Then why are you throwing rocks into the river? Is it fun?"

"What do you care? I do whatever I want." After saying that, Dongfang Jingrou stepped on the waves and crossed to the other side of the river in a few steps.

Zhao Kangping was speechless, but he didn't blame her.

This woman is in a bad mood now, so I won't bother with her.

He continued to follow the woman to prevent her from encountering any danger on the way.

Although she is in the Nascent Soul stage, there should be nothing here that can threaten her.

The woman stopped wandering around on the ground. She used her escape technique and flew up.

She did not fly towards the River City, but flew in a random direction.

Zhao Kangping followed all the way, but didn't get too close and kept a distance.

I wonder what this woman wants to do?

After following for about a quarter of an hour, the two arrived at the top of a hill.

On the big rock at the top of the mountain, Dongfang Jingrou was sitting there looking at the starry sky.

When Zhao Kangping came over, she just glanced at him. When he sat next to her, she didn't say anything.

This time, she did not remain silent.

She didn't turn her head, her eyes still fixed on the starry sky. She said, "Why don't you go and accompany your woman?"

She was referring to his two disciples.

"I'm quite worried about your situation." Zhao Kangping felt a little regretful that he should have come to her as soon as possible.

"Thank you for your concern. I just have a bad temper. If you don't like me, you can stay away from me." She said in a tone that said she didn't want anyone to get close to her.

Like a hedgehog, he doesn't want anyone to get close to him.

"It's not bad. I've seen people with worse tempers." Zhao Kangping said.

"Which one are you talking about?" Dongfang Jingrou thought he was talking about the Holy Lord and one of his two disciples.

As far as she knew, there were only three of his women.

As for herself, she still didn't consider herself his woman.

It really isn't that. It's just a kiss, what's the big deal?

But Zhao Kangping was not talking about them. Although they each had their own tempers, they were definitely not that bad.

He was talking about people he had met in his previous life on Blue Star. But let's not talk about that.

"It's not them." Zhao Kangping said.

However, Dongfang Jingrou heard the hidden meaning. She frowned and asked, "Do you have other women?"

Why does this sound a bit jealous?

"Nothing."

This is true, if you don’t succeed, it doesn’t count.

Hearing these three words, she paused for a moment.

She suddenly said, "Well, I have a bad temper. When I'm angry or depressed, I always want to be alone. If someone gets too close to me, I might want to hit them."

At this time, Zhao Kangping kept a distance of about ten feet, or about 3.33 meters, from her.

He asked curiously, "What is considered close? What's my distance?"
