I'll Leave It to You, Master

"Master, the Ice Cream is melting."

While knocking on his master's door, Jiang Lin called out, somewhat like the Big Bad Wolf trying to lure Xiao Hong to open the door.

"Hmm... Master is asleep... Master didn't hear me..."

From inside the room came the master's deep voice, as if it were coming from under the covers.

"Oh, Master, what did you say? You want me to come in? Okay, I'll come in then."

"Wait..."

Before Jiang Yuni finish speaking, Jiang Lin opened the door and went inside.

In the room, Master was indeed curled up on the bed, burying himself under the covers.

Seeing a wisp of his master's hair peeking out from under the covers, Jiang Lin couldn't help but shake his head with a smile and sit down beside his master's bed.

Ever since I woke up, my master has been very disappointed, even somewhat avoiding me, and his eyes are filled with self-blame.

When I asked to return to the Sun Moon Sect, my master actually raised his hand and said he could stay and help quell the White Empire, which was something I never expected.

Of course, Jiang Lin still refused and took his master away.

After all, the White Empire has enough of Wu Su Su, and Bai Ling Bai Qiao. There's nothing Master can do in the White Empire anyway, so he might as well go back to recuperate.

"Master?"

"Master is asleep."

Seeing his master curled up in the blanket like a spring roll, huddled on the windowsill with his back to him, Jiang Lin broke out in a cold sweat.

"Master, I won't scold you anymore. It's all in the past. Besides, without you, we probably would have lost that night's battle."

I put down the Ice Cream and carried my master away from the corner, but he just wriggled back down again...

Jiang Lin had no choice but to take off his shoes, sit cross-legged beside his master, and look at his master, who was rolled up like a spring roll.

To prevent the Ice Cream from actually melting, Jiang Lin naturally enveloped it in Icy Cold Sword Qi.

After a long while, some muffled sounds came from under the covers:

"No... it's not because of that..."

Seeing his master shrink back like a kitten, Jiang Lin gently picked up a strand of hair that was peeking out from the corner of the blanket and playfully twirled it between his fingertips.

"Then what was the reason, Master?"

"I..."

"If Master doesn't say anything, then I'll have Master pull back his blanket and let Niannian come over. Turns out Niannian's mom is throwing a tantrum, it's so embarrassing."

With that, Jiang Lin turned to leave the room.

However, before Jiang Lin Jiang Lin get up, he felt as if his clothes were being tugged.

"Little Linlin... Big Bad Egg..."

From inside the rolled-up blanket, Jiang Yuni peeked out a pair of bright, large eyes, her eyelids slightly lowered, looking quite adorable.

Jiang Lin patted his master's head and chuckled, "We Sun Moon Sect are all bad guys anyway."

"Hmm..."

Jiang Yuni Jiang Lin, still nestled in the blanket, pondered for a moment, but he wasn't in a hurry and continued to wait for his master.

"Little Linlin, I'm sorry..."

"Um?"

"That Fox Spirits Bai Jiu Yi really likes Little Linlin..."

She would give up her life for Little Linlin.

Of course! Master is also willing to give up everything for Little Linlin...

Master is willing to do anything for Little Linlin.

But..."

As she spoke, the girl's beautiful eyes once again filled with self-reproach.

"But that night, Master failed to protect Little Linlin properly. Master didn't get to Little Linlin's side in time, which is why Bai Jiu Yi, that Fox Spirits, turned into this."

If Master had taken a good eye on Little Linlin then... Bai Jiu Yi wouldn't be like this now... oh dear..."

Before Jiang Yuni could finish speaking, Jiang Lin flicked his finger, giving Jiang Yuni a coin on the forehead.

Jiang Lin was really using a bit of force; Jiang Yuni's fair forehead turned slightly red.

She was curled up in a ball, unable to reach back to rub her forehead, her teary eyes making her look adorable.

"I don't want my master to do anything for me."

I want my master to take good care of himself.

Similarly, once Jiu Yi recovers, I will scold her too! Don't think you can escape just because you've turned into Little Fox now.

Moreover, that night, it wasn't Master's fault. I deliberately slipped away from Master when he wasn't paying attention. I won't go into the reasons, so Master doesn't need to blame himself.

Besides, the responsibility for Jiu Yi turning into Little White Fox is entirely my fault.

My plan wasn't thorough enough.

It was also because of me that, despite noticing something was wrong with my Dantian for so many days, I didn't investigate it, which is why I didn't discover that Jiu Yi had used Fox Clan Secret Technique on me.

Fortunately, although Jiu Yi has now turned into a Little White Fox, there are still ways to help her.

"The fact that we're all alive is the best possible outcome. We're also grateful to Master for defeating those feudal lords; otherwise, we would have been in serious trouble."

"Huh? I repelled them? No, Little Lin..."

"I know. Wu Die told me back then that her hidden move in the Demon Race World had taken effect, which is why Long Ya had no choice but to leave. But if Master hadn't stalled until then, even if that hidden move had taken effect, it would have been too late."

"Huh??? Little Lin, don't you remember?"

"Remember what?"

Listening to Jiang Lin's description, Jiang Yuni blinked, looking a Xiao Xiao confused.

However, with her Xiao Xiao brain, she quickly came up with a reason.

"Could it be that Little Linlin has lost her memory? And then, when Little Linlin asked Wu Su Su or Bai Ling Bai Qiao about what happened afterward, did Wu Su Su or Bai Ling Bai Qiao not tell Little Linlin the truth?"

Jiang Yuni lowered her eyes slightly, recalling Little Linlin's appearance in white, like the Grim Reaper, which still felt somewhat unfamiliar to the woman.

Jiang Lin's white eyes, in particular, were like those of a god.

Was it really Little Lin then?

"Master, what's wrong?"

Seeing his master's dazed expression, Jiang Lin patted his master's head.

"In short, Master's kind of thinking is unacceptable. I want Master to live a good life."

That night wasn't Master's fault, and Master doesn't need to blame himself. Besides, I will definitely restore Jiu Yi to normal, so Master, please don't blame yourself anymore."

Jiang Yuni cheeks against Jiang Lin's palm.

As if making a firm decision, Jiang Yuni raised her head. "No!"

"Um?"

The girl finally emerged from under the covers, and Duck sat in front of Jiang Lin, her long black hair slowly cascading down her shoulders and curling onto the bedsheets.

"Little Linlin will always be number one in Master's heart, and that will never change."

But Master will also strive to become stronger! Master will definitely protect Little Linlin! Master will no longer let others take on the task of protecting Little Linlin!

Listening to his master's words, Jiang Lin wanted to scold his master for being so stubborn, but looking into his master's firm eyes, Jiang Lin's heart warmed like a furnace.

Jiang Lin gently pinched his master's little nose and couldn't help but smile.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Master."

"Um!"
