In Zhengyang Hall, Qu Yun frowned slightly and looked at Nangong Rou thoughtfully.

If he remembered correctly, Nangong Rou had indeed mentioned that she didn't like the color green before.

Nangong Rou was in a daze. If Jiang Zhige's memory picture hadn't appeared, she would have almost forgotten that she hated the color green because Jiang Zhige was always busy maintaining green herbs in the elixir garden and had no time to play with her.

.........

In the light and shadow scene, after Jiang Zhige escorted Nangong Rou to his residence, not far after he walked out, he suddenly heard a faint sound of a piano nearby.

"It's already dark, who is playing the piano?"

Jiang Zhige couldn't help his curiosity and followed the sound of the piano to find it.

The main thing is that the sound of the piano is beautiful and pleasant, and it has a feeling of déjà vu.

He quickly found the source of the sound, which came from a courtyard located on the mountainside.

Compared with other pavilions, this courtyard is more exquisite, with gurgling streams and flowers and plants everywhere. It is obvious that he is a more experienced and elegant inner disciple.

Jiang Zhige jumped up to the courtyard wall and followed the sound to find the person playing the piano.

It was an out-of-life woman whose face was covered by tulle and dressed in a green skirt. Under the hazy cover of night, her graceful silhouette made people wonder.

"Senior Sister Qiushui..."

Jiang Zhige was stunned. The person playing the piano was none other than Ning Qiushui, whom he had said goodbye to in Tingyu Pavilion before.

At this time, she was playing music alone in the courtyard, and there was a hint of desolation in the music, as if she was sighing or talking.

After a while, a piece of piano music was played.

Ning Qiushui sat still and asked leisurely: "Junior brother, since you are here, why don't you show up and say something?"

Jiang Zhige came to his senses immediately. He hesitated for a while, but he still jumped off the courtyard wall and walked to Ning Qiushui.

"Junior brother Jiang Zhige has met senior sister Qiu Shui."

Jiang Zhige was secretly nervous. In fact, he wanted to escape. After all, if he broke into the female disciple's courtyard at night, he would definitely be punished by Elder Xingfeng if he spoke out.

But having been discovered by Ning Qiushui, escaping would appear to be a guilty conscience.

Ning Qiushui's expression revealed a touch of amusement, and she joked: "Junior brother, you rejected me twice before, and now you break into my garden at night. Why?"

"Sister, I misunderstood, I..."

"Don't rush to explain. Answer me a question first."

Ning Qiushui raised her hand to interrupt. She just guessed that Jiang Zhige would accompany Nangong Rou back to the female disciple's residence, so she specially played the piano in the middle of the night to attract him.

"Sister, please ask."

Jiang Zhige bowed his hand, saying that as long as he was not reported to Xingfeng, he could say anything.

Apart from anything else, if Nangong Rou knew about it, what dignity would his brother have?

"Junior brother, when did you and Junior Sister Nangong meet?"

Ning Qiushui stared at Jiang Zhige closely. The two had different surnames and were most likely not biological siblings.

Jiang Zhige didn't notice the special meaning in Ning Qiushui's words. He looked emotional and answered seriously: "Seven years ago, one winter."

Remembering that winter seven years ago, Nangong Rou was simply a gift given to him by God.

Jiang Zhige's parents died when he was young, and the old beggar who took him in also passed away at the age of six. He had almost no experience of family affection, and never thought that he would have a sister who was full of trust in him.

That winter, it seemed that Jiang Zhige gave Nangong Rou support, but in fact it was Nangong Rou who warmed the dark world in his heart.

And this was also the reason why Jiang Zhige would risk his life to protect Nangong Rou.

In his opinion, Nangong Rou is not only his salvation, but also his only one.

Ning Qiushui's heart tightened when she heard this, and she pretended to be casual and asked, "Well... Junior Sister Nangong is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is admired by many male disciples in the sect. Junior brother, what do you think of this?"

Although she had expected it, she still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy after hearing it with her own ears.

After a little thought, you can guess that since the two are not biological brothers and sisters, and Nangong Rou has feelings for Jiang Zhige, they are probably a pair of brothers and sisters on the surface, but in fact they have a deep love for each other.

"What do you think? What else can I say? My sister is loved by others, so I am happy for her."

Jiang Zhige laughed dumbly. He was not as innocent as Nangong Rou. He couldn't be jealous that other men would take away his sister, right?

Compared with relying on the brother's side and marrying the two surnames, Fengguan Xiale is the real beauty.

Ning Qiushui couldn't help but feel happy. Hearing what Jiang Zhige said, he was different from Nangong Rou. He only had a pure brother-sister relationship with his sister.

Jiang Zhige's rejection of him before was probably just because the two were not familiar with each other and could not accept the sudden affection.

From now on, all he needs to do is get Nangong Rou, and sooner or later he can tie the knot with Jiang Zhige.

"Sister, what are you..."

Jiang Zhige looked confused. Why did Ning Qiushui suddenly look so happy?

Ning Qiushui coughed twice, then her expression became serious, and she shouted in a deep voice: "Jiang Zhige, you broke into the courtyard of the female disciples of the inner sect at night, you are really a daredevil!"

"Sister, I can explain, I am..."

"Explanation? Is it true that you scaled my courtyard wall in the middle of the night without permission? Junior Brother Jiang, if I tell your sister about this, then your brother will not be able to hold his head high."

Ning Qiushui's eyes were cunning, she knew that as long as Nangong Rou was mentioned, Jiang Zhige would definitely fall in line.

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Jiang Zhige immediately understood that Ning Qiushui had other intentions, and said with a wry smile: "Senior sister, you should just say what you have to say..."

Ning Qiushui smiled and said: "In three days, I need to go to Baishu Mountain to complete the task of picking Lingxu grass. Then you can follow me."

Originally, she had planned to give up on Jiang Zhige after seeing Nangong Rou's affection. Now that she learned that Jiang Zhige had no unnecessary feelings for Nangong Rou, it was most likely that Nangong Rou was in unrequited love. She naturally had no reason to miss such a suitable young girl.

Meat.

So what if the relationship between brother and sister is good? Jiang Zhige only regards Nangong Rou as his sister, so it is basically impossible for him to develop in that regard.

Even if Nangong Rou had the intention to make Jiang Zhige fall in love with her, could she still be unable to win over a young girl with her first love?

"That's...okay."

Jiang Zhige had no choice but to agree. Who knew if Ning Qiushui would actually tell Nangong Rou about this matter?

If this is the case, even if he explains clearly afterwards, Nangong Rou will definitely still be unhappy.

............

"The Demon Emperor is really blessed. A small outer disciple can actually win the favor of the most beautiful woman in the sect?"

"I've never heard of rumors that the Demon Emperor has a Taoist companion. This Ning Qiushui is probably deflated."

"Speaking of which, the Demon Emperor was born as a beggar and was in Tingyu Pavilion before. How could he recite a poem?"

"You didn't read carefully before, because you have never touched a book before. During the seven years the Demon Emperor spent in Tianyun Pavilion, in addition to practicing, maintaining spiritual herbs, and accompanying Fairy Nangong, he only held books to observe."

Some people suddenly understood after hearing this. They remembered that in the light and shadow scene, when Nangong Rou went to Jiang Zhige to watch the sect competition, Jiang Zhige was squatting in the spiritual grass garden to maintain the spiritual grass, but he did not forget to hold a book in his hand.

It's just that this detail is too small, and many people don't notice it.

Nangong Rou sighed sadly. Back then, Jiang Zhige practiced hard, but she never understood. She only felt that cultivation delayed Jiang Zhige from being with her.

Now that I think about it, Jiang Zhige's talent was mediocre, so he practiced so hard to protect his sister.

Qu Yun glanced at Nangong Rou and suddenly felt an inexplicable worry.

He could sense that Nangong Rou's attitude towards Jiang Zhige was no longer as hateful as before.

Nangong Rou began to doubt the truth of what happened back then, and Qu Yun also began to worry that Nangong Rou would actually defect in the face of battle.

If Nangong Rou really turns to Jiang Zhige, Qu Yun's feelings aside, for a half-emperor, it would be easy to rescue Jiang Zhige in public without the Emperor's intervention.

By then, Qu Yun would miss the opportunity to kill the Demon Emperor, not to mention winning the beauty back.
