Ning Zhiyuan smiled brightly, no longer blocking Yun Tianmo, and quickly walked over to Ouyang Zixin.
"Girl, it's been years since we last met, you..." Ning Zhiyuan was initially overly excited, but as he got closer, he realized that Ouyang Zixin seemed to have changed, somehow.
"What about me? You ruined my life!" Ouyang Zixin glared at Ning Zhiyuan with gritted teeth, showing no joy of reuniting with an old friend; instead, she felt an impulse to strangle him.
"Oh, I see, you've grown taller." Ning Zhiyuan ignored Ouyang Zixin's anger and continued talking to himself, reaching out to measure her height with his hand. "You don't look like someone who has gone through eight years."
"Mind your own business!" Ouyang Zixin pretended to kick Ning Zhiyuan, but he didn't dodge at all. This left her feeling frustrated as she retracted her foot halfway, rolled her eyes, and walked around him.
Yun Tianmo stood at a distance until Ouyang Zixin reached him and asked irritably, "Yun Tianmo, what's wrong with you? Every time someone causes trouble, you run away. Is this how you act as a bodyguard? Even if you ran into your lover and felt embarrassed, you could at least tell me! You just leave silently like that; is that fair to your teammates?"
Faced with Ouyang Zixin's inexplicable tirade, Yun Tianmo merely frowned. Seeing this, Ouyang Zixin felt a surge of nameless anger and continued to scold him: "A useless teammate is exactly the kind of person you are. You never say a word when it matters most. People are already pointing fingers at you; can't you say something?"
In truth, Ouyang Zixin didn't understand why she was so angry. Even when she saw A Three, the one who had caused her trouble with unwanted romantic advances, she wasn't genuinely mad.
"What does 'lover' mean?"
"'Lover' means someone you're involved with!"
When Ouyang Zixin heard the question, she instinctively answered. However, as soon as she said that a lover meant someone you're involved with, a sudden chill swept through the air among them and then drifted away leisurely.
After a moment of silence, Ouyang Zixin suddenly covered her face with both hands, and a muffled voice came from between her fingers: "You all didn't hear anything; you didn't hear anything."
She, who wanted to be like an Ostrich, was clearly going to be disappointed, as being foolish comes with a price.
Ning Zhiyuan laughed loudly without restraint, “Haha, Girl, tell me, as an unmarried young lady, how can you casually refer to your lover like that?”
Ouyang Zixin, this Girl, was simply too adorable. Having already experienced her fresh vocabulary in the secret realm, it seemed that although she had grown in unexpected ways, her lack of restraint when speaking remained the same as before.
If anyone had the worst expression, it was undoubtedly Yun Tianmo.
“Lover, hmm?” The chilling tone in Yun Tianmo's voice caused the temperature at Lingchi Peak to drop significantly.
“Mo King, why have I never heard you mention having a lover? Haha, come on, tell me all about it.” Ning Zhiyuan seemed to revel in the chaos, looking at Yun Tianmo with a teasing expression. This man was usually cold and indifferent; who would actually be interested in him?
—Master.
“What is it!” Ouyang Zixin felt like biting her own tongue. Nameless calling her at this moment could only mean trouble.
—Nameless had warned you.
Warned? Warned about what?
Ouyang Zixin paused, suddenly recalling that while she had been babbling non-stop earlier, Nameless had indeed said something. However, she hadn’t paid attention at that time and now realized it seemed to be an attempt to stop her from speaking.
“You… why didn’t you say it again?” Oh Nameless, you must be doing this on purpose.
—Master, you spoke too quickly; Nameless couldn’t intervene in time.
Alright, Ouyang Zixin seems to be trying to shift the responsibility, but unfortunately, it appears there is no possibility of that.
At this moment, Liu Ying and Liu Lu dared not make a sound, retreating a few steps away. They wanted to help Ouyang Zixin out of the predicament, but the aura surrounding the Ink King was too overwhelming for them to approach.
—Master, Nameless recalled something you once said.
"What did you say?"
—There is a kind of death that comes from seeking trouble.
"You!" Ouyang Zixin was momentarily speechless from Nameless's words, nearly spitting out blood. "Do you still remember that I am your master? Are you trying to murder your own master?"
"Are you done?" Yun Tianmo naturally knew who Ouyang Zixin was talking to. Only when she fell silent did he speak up.
With her fingers slightly spread apart, Ouyang Zixin peeked at Yun Tianmo through the gaps. Oh my, this ice mountain looks truly terrifying when angry. Just look at that face; it's as dark as a pot bottom.
"What are you done with?" Ning Zhiyuan, unlike Yun Tianmo, could sense Nameless and looked at the two with confusion. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"If you don't understand, then shut up!" Ouyang Zixin didn't dare to yell at Yun Tianmo, but she had no reservations about A Three. To divert her embarrassment, she vented all her pent-up frustration onto him. "You talk too much. Have you been cooped up in this secret realm for so long that you've gone crazy?"
"I..."
"What do you mean 'I'? I see you're the one who's gone crazy. Hurry up and find a tree hole to talk into; just let it all out." Ouyang Zixin was clearly feeling guilty, afraid that Ning Zhiyuan would say something to add fuel to the fire, so she didn't give him a chance to speak.
"Girl..."
"Alright, alright, I know you're unfamiliar with the area. Come on, I know where there's a tree hole; I'll take you there." Ouyang Zixin suddenly turned around and pushed Ning Zhiyuan forward.
Ning Zhiyuan was abruptly pushed by Ouyang Zixin and instinctively wanted to resist. However, realizing that it was Ouyang Zixin, he quickly suppressed the Mysterious Energy he was about to unleash and allowed her to push him along. He also raised his hand to wave at Yun Tianmo behind him, saying, "Mo King, please come along."
Liu Ying and Liu Lu did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed suit.
In a moment, only Yun Tianmo remained standing alone.
"Ouyang Zixin." Yun Tianmo clenched his fists behind his back, his knuckles turning white from the effort.
"Come out."
"Master." A man in black suddenly appeared from nowhere, kneeling on one knee before Yun Tianmo, his head bowed and hesitant to speak.
"Speak."
The man in black was stiff with fear, not daring to utter a word because he worried that what he said might provoke Master’s anger even further. Yet, if he remained silent, it seemed that the peak of his life would soon arrive.
"It seems that Baike said something ambiguous that misled Miss Ouyang."
"Hmph." Yun Tianmo snorted coldly. "Baike, Bai Family, you are all quite clever."
