When Zhao Shuning left, she looked back at Yan Ruyu on the bed for a long time.
This was her Master now.
He was much more innocent. One could vaguely discern the shadow of his future self in his cold - featured face.
She was infatuated with this visage.
But in this plane, she couldn't have him.
As the young girl left.
The eyelids of the young man in the blue gown fluttered, but he didn't open his eyes in the end.
About an hour later.
After Yan Ruyu felt that he could move his body, his eyes slowly opened.
There was confusion, helplessness, and a hint of shyness in his eyes.
He could vaguely sense what had happened before, but he also thought it might be just his illusion.
At this moment, Yan Ruyu's limbs were still a bit weak.
He dragged his tired body and sat up.
"Lu Qiu?"
No one answered him.
He called out again, but still, there was no response.
Yan Ruyu sighed.
He walked to the stone table and sat down.
On the stone table, there was a chessboard casually scratched with white stones by the young girl when she played chess with him some time ago.
Yan Ruyu used a bit of his spiritual power, and those strokes were deeply engraved into the stone. In this way, he didn't have to worry about the chessboard disappearing over time.
Bai Ze transformed, growing to a height of five meters.
It lay down beside Yan Ruyu.
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to look for Miss Lu?"
"No need."
"Your Majesty, I always feel that Miss Lu Qiu has a lot on her mind. It seems as if she's hiding something from you."
"If she doesn't want to say, then so be it. We just need to follow the mandate of heaven and do what we should."
Bai Ze whimpered and lay down.
There was clearly reluctance in His Majesty's eyes, and the hand holding the chess piece was not as firm as before. But His Majesty was stubborn - mouthed. As his contract divine beast, it couldn't question its master.
Yan Ruyu actually also sensed that Lu Qiu was not ordinary.
Her talent was second only to his.
It was truly extremely rare.
Moreover, Yan Ruyu had a feeling that Lu Qiu had known him for a long time. Because many of his unconscious little habits were always naturally tidied up by her.
There was still a faint fragrance from the pills in the incense burner.
The little rabbit adopted by Lu Qiu was not afraid of people after eating the grass and fell asleep beside Bai Ze.
At the entrance of the stone cave, there were two white magnolias planted.
When he once asked Lu Qiu why she chose white magnolias, she said that it wasn't her who liked them, but himself.
Yan Ruyu did like white magnolias. However, his preference was rarely known. He did have a particular fondness for the fragrance of white magnolias, but he never told anyone about it.
During the time spent with Lu Qiu.
She was naughty and cute, always trying to stir his heartstrings.
Sometimes, she was terribly profound.
Looking full of worries.
Yan Ruyu wanted to ask many times, but as soon as Lu Qiu saw him, the haze on her face would immediately disappear, and she would show a smiling face.
Lu Qiu was truly a good candidate.
She was kind - hearted, which could be seen from their months of acquaintance.
Yan Ruyu was very good at judging people. Even if the world treated such a woman unjustly in the future, she would never destroy the Nine - Continent Continent.
But why did the astrolabe show her as a disaster star that would bring harm to the world?
Many mysteries remained unsolved.
Yan Ruyu wasn't in a hurry.
His father had once taught him that many things couldn't be judged only by their appearance, nor could one be over - hasty.
The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Just let nature take its course.
"Xiaobai."
"Your Majesty?"
The sleepy Bai Ze raised its head, looking at Yan Ruyu with a playful look on his face, full of questions.
"Let's go to the Changkong Academy."
"Ah?"
Bai Ze was surprised.
His Majesty would rather not go out if he could. Now, he actually took the initiative to ask to go out?
"Your Majesty?"
"Just some time ago, several elders of the Changkong Academy sent me an invitation, hoping that I would serve as a tutor for the new students."
Also.
Lu Qiu would definitely go to the Changkong Academy.
There were still many secrets hidden in this young girl. Yan Ruyu had to go to the Changkong Academy. By staying by Lu Qiu's side, he might find some clues.
Bai Ze nodded.
It shrank its body.
Then it was about to jump onto Yan Ruyu's shoulder.
At this moment, Yan Ruyu had sharp eyes and saw a small cloth bag under the stone table.
The cloth bag was very small. This must be the thing that Lu Qiu always carried with her. That girl called it the Qiankun Pouch.
Yan Ruyu studied it carefully.
He couldn't help but be amazed.
The material of this Qiankun Pouch was extraordinary. It was extremely simply made, but the space inside was infinitely large and could accommodate everything. However, its appearance was no different from an ordinary brocade pouch.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"Lu Qiu is truly an extraordinary woman. She can even make such a miraculous thing."
Yan Ruyu had no idea that this was a skill he would personally teach Zhao Shuning hundreds of years later.
"What's the use of this cloth bag?"
Yan Ruyu smiled but didn't answer.
He stretched out his hand and found a colorful feather on the Qiankun Pouch. He had never seen such a feather before.
He held it in front of his eyes and examined it carefully.
A phoenix?
Logically speaking, phoenixes should still be chicks at this time. How could there be such a feather?
Doubts piled up, but he couldn't find a way to solve them.
He had no choice but to put away the Qiankun Pouch carefully.
Following the principle he had just understood, he had a thought, changed the hand seals on his hands, and several kinds of materials gathered in front of him.
The Red Lotus Karma Fire, the Polar Blue Flame, and the Pure Lotus Demon Fire all emerged. In less than half an hour, a sky - blue brocade pouch appeared in front of him.
Compared with the one left by Lu Qiu, this brocade pouch was undoubtedly much more exquisite.
There were countless stars on the sky - blue cloth. One could even see them slowly flowing with the naked eye.
It was like the Milky Way at the top of the sky, dazzlingly bright.
"Master, what is this?"
Yan Ruyu said, "The Spatial Pouch."
Since the Qiankun Pouch already had a name, the brocade pouch he made could be called the Spatial Pouch.
The space inside the Spatial Pouch was infinitely large and could accommodate everything. Even living creatures could find a place to live inside.
Yan Ruyu could know how to make anything in the world just by looking at it. So in the past few hundred years, no one had ever surprised him like Lu Qiu.
It was truly not easy for her to create something like the Qiankun Pouch. Her talent couldn't just be described as terrifying.
"Xiaobai."
"Your Majesty?"
"Go inside."
"Come on, Your Majesty. I'll suffocate inside."
"Go inside."
Bai Ze hung its head, complaining in its heart that the Spatial Pouch was so small and so dark inside. It would not only be stuffy, but it couldn't even stretch its legs or turn over.
But its master was already a man of few words. Once he made a decision, he would never go back on it. No matter how reluctant it was, it couldn't resist.
When Bai Ze entered the Spatial Pouch, it found that it was completely different from what it had imagined.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you can transform into your original form and have a good rest inside."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
A voice full of joy came from inside.
Yan Ruyu smiled slightly and put the Spatial Pouch on his waist.
