How can you still give merit to saving sentient beings?

Chapter 19 An old friend lost his life
Looking at each other with their eyes, Ning Shuang was attracted by it. There was a red mark the size of a rice grain reflected on the edge of the man's pool-like right eye.

Just a trace made her heart beat faster.

An old friend of Ningshuang also had such a scar. He was injured by a monster named Yingying when they were traveling. No one who looks like him can imitate this.

The man's expression changed, from stern at first to frivolous. He looked at the astonished woman quietly and allowed her to continue to look at her.

When Ning Shuang saw that he didn't dodge or speak, she condensed a ball of warmth in her palm and held it between the two of them.

This light was enough for Ning Shuang to clearly see his handsome features, which were as sharp as a knife.

Although the other person had a frivolous demeanor, his sharp eyebrows, high bridge of nose, and moody mouth made her feel more and more that the man in front of her was probably the Immortal Xuan Bai who had disappeared from Cenli Wonderland for more than [-] years. .

There are many fairylands, but each fairyland is responsible for different things.

For example, in the Huanze Fairyland, one majors in the Book of Merits and takes it as his duty to go to the mortal world to save people in distress, while in the Cenli Fairyland, one majors in the Plain Barriers and is responsible for dealing with various heresies outside the mortal world.

Ever since a mission 300 years ago, Immortal Xuanbai has completely disappeared.

The two of them were old acquaintances, and they often went to Yuchi to practice magic together.

Before Xuan Bai disappeared, if the two of them were fine, they would send a flying letter to make an appointment to travel somewhere or talk and drink.

After Ning Shuang learns about his disappearance, she will inquire about and track him down once she returns to Fairyland.

She never imagined that she would meet him in the mortal world.

But it stands to reason that beings in the fairyland can sense which side each other belongs to, and the body of the person in front of them does not have the spiritual breath of the fairyland, but is full of evil spirits unique to evil spirits.

There is the appearance of an old friend but no evidence of an old friend.

Ning Shuang couldn't help but feel extremely confused.

"Xuan, Xuan Bai, Immortal?" After hesitating for a moment, Ning Shuang tentatively called out his name softly.

"Shangxian?" The man seemed to have heard the incredible title. He raised his long black eyebrows and smiled, "Do you like to talk nonsense when you are awake? You can actually look at me and call me "Shangxian."

Ning Shuang frowned, she still had a lot of doubts.

But if nothing else, if he were regarded as "Lord", wouldn't his words and deeds be a bit strange?

Seeing that Ning Shuang was speechless, the man transformed into a tracking technique that followed him, looked at her and asked quietly: "Do you usually use this little trick to track others?"

Ning Shuang was startled. After all, she was not a three-legged cat, but she was ridiculed as a little trick.

At that time, the young man was cheerful and upright, but now he not only shows an evil spirit, but also has a poisonous tongue.

The man suddenly took a step closer, and Ning Shuang immediately got into a defensive stance. She was still not completely sure of his identity.

"You just stared at me with that look. Do I look like your old friend?"

The man leaned forward slightly and said in a lowered voice, "But a name like Xuan Bai is too rustic. My name is Pai, Pai Pai."

A cold and quiet fragrance followed. Ningshuang took half a step back. Listening to the ominous word, she lowered her eyes and thought about it, then deliberately avoided talking about it and asked: "Since I have already discovered it, why did I do it at this time?" Find me?"

Shuang raised the corners of his lips, chuckled and said, "Want to know? Go somewhere else, it's not a good place to talk."

A feeling of being seduced arose spontaneously, but Ning Shuang also knew that this was incomplete, and besides, she had too many questions about him, so she nodded in agreement.

But before setting off, she secretly left a note in case of emergency.

The two flew to a nearby town. It was already dark, and every house closed its doors and windows, leaving only the chirping of insects on the road.

One of them was wearing a floor-length black robe, and the other was wearing a blood-stained white garment. Anyone walking on the road at this moment would probably be frightened out of their wits.

After taking a few steps, Shanxi began to ask: "What is your name? Do you belong to someone?"

Listening to the irrelevant question, Ning Shuang replied calmly: "Shuangchen is just a loose immortal who travels around and rescues people in need. He doesn't belong to anyone."

Shuang glanced sideways at her: "Shuangchen is just a code name. What I want to ask is your name? To be honest." Ning Shuang looked back blankly. She came to this mortal world and temporarily gave up her original name due to the darkness. Unexpectedly, he was the first one. Questioning.

and many more.

How could he conclude that it wasn't his name?Could it be...

"Ning Shuang." She responded, a pair of almond-shaped eyes fixed on observing Pan's reaction.

However, he just lowered his eyes and took notes, then turned directly to the key question: "Ning Shuang, do you want to continue to pursue it?"

Ning Shuang didn't understand what he meant and replied: "Of course I do."

"So sure?" Xiang stopped, crossed his arms and looked at her.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Of course I want to stop you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Panic moved his hands, his broad black robe fluttered in the wind, and two balls of black energy surged out from his palms.

As soon as Ning Shuang saw the black energy, she immediately cast a spell to counter it, only to realize that she couldn't even do the knotting technique. She seemed to not have enough magic power, and she felt tired once activated.

"What did you do?" She couldn't help but question Xiang.

"It has nothing to do with me." Xiang said while raising his hands.

The two groups of black energy immediately caught Ning Shuang, picked her up, and followed Shan in another direction.

Ning Shuang thought to herself, the situation there had just calmed down, and even if there was a mark, if it suddenly disappeared for a long time, it would cause trouble again.

Moreover, the intentions of this unknown person were unpredictable. She had to find a way to go back first, so she had no choice but to say, "Okay, I promise you not to pursue him first."

Anyway, the shadows haven't reached their destination yet, so she doesn't have to go there yet.

Unexpectedly, the other party said rather roguely: "I will do it regardless of whether I agree or not."

Ning Shuang choked on him.

Since talking is useless and movement is restricted, the only thing to do is wait for the mana to recover, and then find another way to escape.

She planned to talk to him and ask about the situation, but the other party took her to a mansion, threw her into the room and left.

Before leaving, he was kind enough to cast an extra spell on her and give her a new set of clothes.

Ning Shuang had a sleepless night and had thin dark circles under her eyes the next day.

Shan Hui asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep?"

Seeing Ning Shuang looking at him without saying a word, he laughed heartily and led her to have breakfast, listen to a play and drink tea without undoing the spell.

The music on the stage was sonorous. The more Ning Shuang thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. If this person was the little leader of the evil spirits, how could he do this to her?
Could it be that Xuan Bai was teasing her on purpose?

After all, I haven't seen him for many years. It's not impossible that he became what he is now because of what happened, and his temperament changed...

But no matter what, as long as it’s Xuan Bai, it’s fine. Ning Shuang discussed with him softly: “Xuan Bai, if you want to tease me, come here. The situation over there is very urgent. It’s not good for me to disappear suddenly. It’s been too long, let’s find another opportunity to discuss your matter in detail.”

"What's going on? You should know who I am, right, but you still call me that rustic name? Are we so similar to him?"

He immediately came closer and said, "Or is there something wrong with your head?"

"Stop making trouble." Ning Shuang sighed helplessly, "Well, don't you like to eat medicinal cakes? I am good at this. I will make many kinds for you when I return to the fairyland. Let me go back now."

Looking at her sadly, he pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No, I want to eat it now."
