Lin Qingbai heard the movement outside the door, walked out, pushed the door open, but saw Qin An standing outside the door, and a dog.

Qin An was squatting at the door, stroking the little white dog with his palm, turned his head and looked at Lin Qingbai, but frowned when he saw Lin Qingbai's thin clothes, and stepped forward to face Lin QingBai said, "It's windy tonight, why don't you come out wearing a coat."

That tone is as natural as it has been said to Lin Qingbai thousands of times.

Speaking of which, Qin An untied the outer shirt that was draped over his shoulders, and covered Lin Qingbai's shoulders.

Lin Qingbai just woke up, and his eyes were still hazy.

He didn't realize that there was something wrong, so he let Qin An walk up to him.

Unlike the previous times when he was always lukewarm in his cloak, Qin An's clothes wrapped him in a warm warmth.

It wasn't until Qin An's breath was withdrawn from his body that Lin Qingbai blinked before realizing what had just happened.

He froze for a moment, then moved his fingers under the outer shirt lightly, and the back of his hand touched the inside of Qin An's outer shirt.

The wind at night was really cold, Lin Qingbai's hands and feet were cold, and she didn't want to take off her clothes after being put on.

This time, he didn't resist, but looked at the puppy with lowered eyes.

It's a little white dog.

Lin Qingbai's eyes paused, and he saw Qin An squatting down, stroking the puppy's head with his hands.

That little dog was also very good. When Qin An stroked him, he raised his head slightly, and rubbed his forehead against Qin An's palm.

Lin Qingbai stood outside the hall like this, looking sideways at Qin An.

The moonlight was like dusk, but when Qin An's sharp brows and eyes were stroking the dog, it was rare and gentle.

Lin Qingbai just looked at him for a while, his heart was at peace, he turned around and sat on the bench under the porch, and asked, "You wake up at night because of this puppy?"

Hearing Lin Qingbai's voice, before Qin An opened his mouth to speak, the little white dog looked up at him as if he understood what he said, and then his pair of black puppy eyes suddenly stopped.

It walked up to Lin Qingbai, barked twice, and circled back and forth in front of Lin Qingbai, as if it knew Lin Qingbai.

Seeing its enthusiastic appearance, Lin Qingbai also bent down and touched the puppy's head, raised his face and said to Qin An with a faint smile: "It's quite kind."

Qin An was standing beside him, looking at Lin Qingbai with fixed eyes.

Lin Qingbai was wearing a white inner shirt and Qin An's black outer shirt. He raised his hands to reveal his slender wrists, and stroked Xiao Bai's head with his jade-like fingertips.

The moonlight fell on his body, like a puddle of clear water, with faint waves, moist and soft, making people unable to move their eyes away.

Qin An couldn't help thinking of what Xiaobai said just now.

There was a change in Lin Qingbai's body, and the reason for this was either that the people in the fairy world were unwilling to give up and were using some kind of magic power to summon Lin Qingbai's body.

Or the heart in Lin Qingbai's body is repairing by itself.

But now Qin An looked at the person in front of him, and was quite sure that he was his master, there was nothing wrong with that.

So the corpse of Lin Qingbai in the cave is probably the first case.

Thinking of this, Qin An was inexplicably relieved.

Seeing Lin Qingbai again was something he had been dreaming about for three hundred years. He guarded the corpse every day, looking forward to this day.

But now he has accepted that Lin Qingbai is right in front of his eyes, even if he is forgotten, it doesn't matter.

Forget him, also forget the past love and hate.

Qin An knew in his heart that during the many years he had known Lin Qingbai, he had brought him more pain than love, so that Qin An always felt pain in his heart when he recalled it.

Not to mention Lin Qingbai.

So forget it.

If he forgets, he can start again, just like when he was in the mortal world, he can get close to him again

, Take care of him again.

They can still go step by step to the end.

From the first time he met Lin Qingbai a few days ago, Qin An had already made a clear plan for the future, and he couldn't accept any sudden change at this time.

Qin An just looked at Lin Qingbai like this, his eyes were like black ink, and suddenly asked: "Master, it's so late at night, why are you awake?"

Lin Qingbai's hand that was stroking Xiaobaitou stopped slightly, his eyes flickered, and he said truthfully: "I don't know either."

Lin Qingbai was telling the truth, he really didn't know why he woke up suddenly.

In fact, he didn't sleep lightly at first, and he would always have some strange dreams at night on weekdays.

In his dreams, he could always dream of a vast expanse of white snow, and sometimes glaring bloodstains flowed from the snow, and he couldn't remember the scenes that appeared after that.

It's just that every time he wakes up from the dream, his whole body feels as if he is really in the snow, his hands and feet are cold, even if he curls up into a ball, he won't be warm.

Then there was a sleepless night.

But since Qin An came to Mushan Academy for the past two days, they slept in the same bed at night.

Although Lin Qingbai was not used to it, he always leaned against the wall to rest, but the strange thing was that he never had those dreams again, and his hands and feet seemed to be warmed, which was very comfortable.

Before, Lin Qingbai thought it was just a coincidence, but just now he was sleeping soundly, and Qin An got out of bed together, and he woke up slowly again, as if he had a sense of something.

But these Lin Qingbai will not say much.

After so many years, he is used to being alone, he can bear the pain and suffer by himself.

it's not a big deal.

Seeing Lin Qingbai's perfunctory answer, Qin An didn't ask any more questions.

Lin Qingbai has always been indifferent to people, but maybe the puppy in front of him looked destined to be with him and was very likable, so Lin Qingbai said a few words to the little white dog with soft eyes.

He asked softly, "Do you have a home?"

The puppy's little head rubbed against his hand, and it groaned, which was regarded as an answer.

"There's none?"

"Aw—"

"Do you want to stay here?"

As soon as Lin Qingbai's words came out, it seemed that Xiaobai just hit Xiaobai's mind. Xiaobai immediately jumped twice, screamed again excitedly, and opened his paws to pounce on Lin Qingbai's body.

Just looking at it makes me want to stay here.

However, at this moment, Qin An rushed forward with one step, standing between Xiaobai and Lin Qingbai, and stopped Xiaobai's attempt to pounce on Lin Qingbai.

"He has a master." Qin An said directly, and while speaking, he turned his sharp eyes to look at Xiao Bai.

Seeing the king's gaze like this, Xiaobai trembled with fright, knowing that he had done something wrong, so he sat in the distance with his dog ears drooping and said nothing.

Lin Qingbai paused, raised his eyes to look at Qin An and asked, "Does it have an owner?"

"Yes, he has an owner." Qin An said casually: "His owner is the owner of the shop that buys grain in the next street, because he always likes to come out to play because of his greed."

"That's right..." Lin Qingbai felt a little regretful, he sighed softly and said, "I thought it was a stray dog, so I could take him in and be my companion."

Qin An's eyes paused, and he immediately stepped forward, squatted in front of Lin Qingbai, raised his head and said to Lin Qingbai: "Master, I can be your companion in the future."

 …

Qin An's voice was always low, like a gust of wind blowing through a quiet night.

Lin Qingbai was sitting on the bench, the hair on his shoulders drooping down, his cheeks were gently blown by the wind, and there was a burst of pleasant fragrance, and he looked down at Qin An, and saw Qin An's eyes were incomparably bright.Concentrate, when looking at him, there is only him in the eyes, nothing else.

Lin Qingbai's heart shrank, as if someone had stuck a small needle in his heart.

Not painful, but itchy and sore.

So much so that Lin Qingbai's hand unconsciously grasped the hem of the clothes draped over his shoulders, and the alarm bells rang in his heart.

He lowered his eyes and did not talk to Qin An again.

They looked at each other, but stood up slowly with one hand supporting the wall pillar.

Lin Qingbai's body was thin, as if he was about to float away when blown by the wind, Qin An immediately stood up and supported Lin Qingbai's body.

Lin Qingbai gently broke away from his hand.

He didn't look back, but asked softly: "You treat me so well? What exactly do you want?

Qin An's hand hanging in the air froze and did not move.

Lin Qingbai turned around at this moment, and looked at Qin An with a pair of quiet and indifferent eyes.

Lin Qingbai and Qin An have not known each other for a long time, but only a few days.

He picked up the jade pendant that Qin An accidentally dropped, and Qin An followed him all the way, first knowing that he lived in Mushan Academy, and then coming to ask for help late at night.

Although Lin Qingbai is kind-hearted, he is not a fool.

Qin An's pestering him like this is naturally a conspiracy.

Lin Qingbai had self-knowledge in his heart.

Although he is a member of the Lin family and has some property in his family, his biological mother is dead and his father is not close to him, so the Lin family's property may not fall into his hands in the end.

As for mana, he has none at all.

So he is poor and weak, and he is not in good health. He really doesn't understand what does Qin An, a young man, follow behind him and treat him so well, what exactly does he want?

Qin An's eyes were deep, and he said, "I treat you sincerely, and only want to be by your side."

What Qin An said, Lin Qingbai's mind moved, his Adam's apple rolled, and he asked again: "Why?"

Qin An was speechless.

yes, why?

In Lin Qingbai's heart, they were just acquaintances. No matter how good Qin An said or how well he did, Lin Qingbai felt it was incredible.

After all, where there are talents to meet, they will treat them sincerely.

In other words, if someone deliberately approached him like this, he would have a bigger reaction than Lin Qingbai. He would only think that this person must have other plans, either to seek his royal power, or to curry favor with him.

If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.

In his hands, this kind of person might not be able to survive even one night.

Qin An's Adam's apple rolled twice, and the thousands of words he wanted to say were blocked in his heart, but he couldn't say a word when facing Lin Qingbai, even if his heart had already been roasted in the fire, Qin An could onlyTell Lin Qingbai repeatedly: "Every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart, I will not hurt you, trust me."

Lin Qingbai looked at Qin An silently with his eyes. He just looked at Qin An for a while, and he didn't say any more, he didn't ask any more questions, but turned around and walked towards the bed.At that time, he silently leaned against the wall, making room for Qin An.

Not long after Qin An lay on the bed, Lin Qingbai fell asleep.

Qin An stared at the ceiling and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Now he looked like a dog frozen in the ice and snow.

And Lin Qingbai is the burning stove in this vast snow field.

As soon as Qin An saw him, he rushed to him as if he had seen the source of salvation.

He couldn't leave him, wishing he could swallow the fire into his stomach, but he was afraid that he would get too close, bring the wind and snow on his body to the stove, and extinguish the stove, while he himselfHe was also burnt to pieces.

 …

The night passed for a long time. Qin An lay on Lin Qingbai's body, looking at Lin Qingbai's thin back, but felt more and more fear in his heart, afraid that everything in front of him would disappear, just like the stove went out, and in the endless snowflakesAmong them, the dream was shattered, and he was the only one left.

He wanted to hug Lin Qingbai, hold him tightly in his arms, feel his body temperature, feel his existence, just like being in the mortal world, and also like being in the demon clan, he hugged Lin Qingbai's cold corpse tightly.

But now he can't do anything, he can only raise his hand and hold Lin Qingbai's clothes hanging behind him tightly with his fingers.

The second day is the rest day of the school.

Lin Qingbai really went to Xiuxian Academy to find the headmaster.

He originally didn't want Qin An to go with him, but he couldn't bear Qin An's thick skin and wanted to follow him everywhere.

While eating, Qin An took a spoon and blew hot soy milk little by little. He was not surprised to hear that Lin Qingbai refused to let him follow him to Xiuxian Academy. Instead, he continued to move and said to Lin Qingbai:: "Those people in Xiuxian Academy have always looked down on people without inner alchemy. If Master goes alone, I'm afraid you will be bullied. I will go with me."

Lin Qingbai put the chopsticks in his hand on the bowl and said to him: "You have no inner alchemy, if they really want something, it's useless for you to follow me."

What Lin Qingbai said did not save Qin An's face, Qin An was not angry, but still lowered his eyebrows, brought the moderately temperature soy milk that had been blown to Lin Qingbai, and returned the bowl in front of Lin Qingbai.He brought the boiling soy milk to himself.

Then he whispered: "I am useful, I can protect you."

Lin Qingbai looked down at the bowl of soy milk in front of him, took a spoonful of soy milk and drank it into his mouth.

The temperature is hot, but it doesn't burn your mouth. When you drink it, you can feel a warm current flowing from your mouth into your stomach, which is very comfortable.

Lin Qingbai drank the soy milk in mouthfuls, and had a rare and comfortable breakfast, so he didn't say anything more, and let Qin An go.

After breakfast, Lin Qingbai and Qin An came to the Immortal Cultivation Academy opposite.

Xiuxian Academy is also closed today, but there are still a small number of students practicing spells in the empty field of the school.

Some apprentices were flying unsteadily and practicing flying, some were moving objects to practice displacement, and some were practicing attack.

Just as Lin Qingbai and Qin An walked through the open space, suddenly a light blue wave of attacking light flashed past, heading straight towards Lin Qingbai's face.

Lin Qingbai was startled, before he could react, Qin An's eyes sharpened, the fingertips of his right hand moved, but then he put it down suddenly, and turned to block Lin Qingbai one step at a time.Holding Lin Qingbai tightly in his arms with both hands.

Then there was a muffled sound of mana hitting his body, Qin An frowned, and held Lin Qingbai even harder, almost pressing Lin Qingbai into his heart, and resting his chin on Lin Qingbai's shoulder,There was a muffled grunt in his throat.

Lin Qingbai's heart tightened, and he hugged Qin An's back subconsciously, and asked quickly: "What's wrong?!"

Qin An didn't speak in his ear, he just panted heavily.

Lin Qingbai's heart started to tug, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Did you get hurt?"

At this time, a few people from the Cultivation Academy behind him ran over and said, "I'm sorry, the spells we practiced are not good, and we hurt you by mistake, it's okay."

"We didn't expect that there were people here, so you should let us know first when you come in next time, so we can make preparations, right?"

A few people didn't take it seriously at all, still talking with a hippie smile.

Lin Qingbai's face was so dark that he looked up at the person in front of him coldly, and asked sharply, "Are you blind?"

The rest of the people paused, and the smiles on their faces stopped slowly.

You must know that although Lin Qingbai is cold and cold, even if he was insulted by others before, he never had such a gaze.

Lin Qingbai stared at them, then looked at Qin An, and asked again anxiously: "Where is the injury? Is it serious?"

Qin An frowned, and said in a trembling voice: "...It's nothing serious, Master don't need to worry about it."

How could Lin Qingbai not be concerned? He looked at Qin An's pale face and became even more angry.

So he said a rare serious word to those people in the Cultivation Academy: "I don't care whether you hurt someone intentionally or by accident, but if you hurt someone, you hurt someone. There has never been a reason for accidental injury., Are you out for revenge? Or are you deliberately bullying the weak?!"

At this time, "weak" raised his head, he still held Lin Qingbai's waist dishonestly with both hands, and said weakly: "...Master, I'm really fine, their mana is not strong, it’s just a little pain, but it didn’t hurt the root...Master, you are hurting yourself by being angry, don’t get angry...

..."

Lin Qingbai said sullenly: "Don't speak for them! Whether it is a flesh injury or a muscle injury, I will only find out after the injury. If the injury is serious, I will go to Lingyun Mansion and tell YunshangThe adults decide for the people!"

As soon as heard that Lin Qingbai was really going to be serious this time, he even went to the Lingyun Mansion to tell Master Yunshang that the students of the Immortal Cultivation School changed their expressions of indifference just now, and turned pale with fright.I can't even say it.

There are no kings or officials in the realm of cultivation. Here, as long as the mana is the highest, he is the master, and Lord Yunshang is the person with the highest mana in the entire world of cultivating immortals. It is said that she can ascend to the realm of immortality in just three years.

Master Yunshang is not only powerful in mana, but also has a very righteous mind. He dislikes people bullying the weak with mana. If she finds out, she will naturally be punished.

When these children in the cultivation world heard that Lin Qingbai was going to find Master Yunshang to make decisions, they naturally turned pale with fright and dared not say another word.

At this time, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came: "This young master is right. The apprentices in our school are only playing trivial kung fu, and will not harm the young master's body. I hope young master Lin will forgive me."

Lin Qingbai followed the prestige, and saw a middle-aged man in a blue and white robe coming out of the main hall in front of him. He looked to be in his thirties, with a handsome appearance, a tall stature, and an extraordinary temperament.It is enough to be intimidated by his aura from a distance.

Only then did Lin Qingbai withdraw his gaze from those children, turned to look at the man, and called out in a low voice, "Director Su."

"Master Lin, please."

Director Su made a gesture of invitation towards the hall.

Lin Qingbai looked at the apprentices coldly again, and gently lifted Qin An up from his body with both hands. Seeing that the expression on Qin An's face eased a little, he helped Qin An walk towards the main hall together.

Qin Anying was seriously injured. When he was walking, he staggered and leaned on Lin Qingbai's body. Although walking was difficult, he still whispered to Lin Qingbai all the way: "Master...I'm fine, don't be angry, they should be unintentional..."

The more he said this, the more Lin Qingbai felt sorry for him being so sensible, and the strength in supporting him became even heavier.

But those apprentices saw that when Qin An passed by them, his eyes looked at them with no weakness or pain at all, but heavy and cold, showing cruelty.

Everyone shuddered, feeling that this gaze was more terrifying than Master Yunshang that Lin Qingbai said just now.

The two walked slowly all the way into Director Su's hall.

The interior of the hall is simple and elegant, all of which are of the same color of wood. There is a wooden carved screen in the middle of the main hall. The table is smoked with sandalwood, white smoke slowly rises, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance.

Director Su invited Lin Qingbai and Qin An to the upper seat.

Then he took out the medicine box, and felt the pulse of Qin An under Lin Qingbai's pale face. When he told Qin An that the injury on his body was not serious, but it was just a bruise outside the skin, Lin Qingbai frowned.Only a little bit relaxed.

It's just that Qin An should be a little uneasy, holding Lin Qingbai's hand tightly, wishing that the fingers in Lin Qingbai's hand hurt so much that he refused to let go.

While packing up the pulse-diagnosing instruments, Director Su looked at Qin An holding Lin Qingbai's hands, and said with a smile, "Young man probably doesn't have inner alchemy. It's the first time he's been attacked by mana. I'm a little nervous."

Qin An's Adam's apple rolled, and he replied: "Yes."

Director Su smiled and explained to him: "You don't have to be nervous. Not all magic attacks are fatal. There are many types of such attacks. It mainly depends on whether the person who uses the magic power is powerful or not.Killing thoughts, and this attack on your body does not account for the above two, so your body is fine, so don't be nervous."

Director Su patiently explained the magic to Qin An and comforted him.

Qin An gave a faint grace, and didn't care what Director Su said.

Lin Qingbai was not feeling well in his heart, and it was only when Director Su's words reminded him.

Qin An doesn't have inner alchemy, so naturally he doesn't know the law

He didn't know the strength of the mana attack just now, and he might even foolishly think that as long as he is hit by the mana attack, he will be seriously ill and die.

But he still stood in front of Lin Qingbai, and kept suppressing the fear in his heart to comfort Lin Qingbai.

This made Lin Qingbai feel extremely distressed, and remembered what Qin An said to him again.

——"I treat you sincerely, just trying to be by your side."

——"I am useful and can protect you."

Lin Qingbai felt guilty and distressed, he held Qin An's hand back forcefully, and asked him, "Does it hurt?"

Qin An looked up at Lin Qingbai, thought for a while and said, "It hurts a little."

Seeing that Lin Qingbai's face immediately changed, he hurriedly added: "Just a little bit, it's much better than before, master, don't worry."

Lin Qingbai's eye circles were red, her slender eyelashes trembled twice, and she scolded him in a muffled voice: "It's so stupid... Just protect yourself next time, don't protect me."

Qin An's eyes froze for a moment, as if his heart had been immersed in warm water.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile, and he held the back of Lin Qingbai's smooth hand with the thumb of Lin Qing's white hand, and said in a low voice: "No, it doesn't matter what I do, my master will definitely take care of you in the future."of."
