Ryan Ford raised the corners of his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Alex Bennett was a little embarrassed: "What I want is that you always protect me."
In fact, what Alex Bennett wants to say is: I want to witness this larger world with you.
But this didn't sound like a request, so Alex Bennett changed his purpose slightly.
To protect him, naturally you can't stay too far away from him.
In this way, wouldn't he be able to stay with Xie Wu legitimately and watch Xie Wu reach the pinnacle of spiritual cultivation?
Ryan Ford's eyes flashed with confusion: "Protect you?"
"Yes." Alex Bennett nodded, trying to look confident, "Do you understand that I will protect you personally?"
"It is to ensure my personal safety at all times. Wherever I am, you will be there."
Ryan Ford didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.
Alex Bennett's strong arrogance was instantly replaced by worry: "Is this difficult?"
He tried hard to promise: "I will also protect myself. Will it make you feel more relaxed?"
Ryan Ford: ...
He asked politely: "Is this the only request the young master has? If there are other requests, you can put them forward together now."
After Ryan Ford finished speaking, he looked at Alex Bennett covertly again.
This indeed gave Alex Bennett another question.
other requirements?
Alex Bennett felt that his mind was racing rapidly, and then he had a flash of inspiration and clapped his hands in surprise: "There is indeed one more."
He tried his best to regain his aloof young master persona, folded his arms, and looked at Ryan Ford in a way that he thought was full of momentum but was actually not fierce.
Xie Wan raised his lips and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Alex Bennett raised his head slightly and suddenly said, "Don't laugh."
"What?" Xie Wan was stunned.
"I said you are not allowed to fake smile in front of me."
Alex Bennett emphasized the word "fake smile".
The smile on Ryan Ford's face gradually faded.
"That's it." Alex Bennett said, "In front of me, you must show your truest emotions and never force a smile."
Alex Bennett supported the table, her cheeks were close to Ryan Ford's, her almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed, and she tried her best to say seriously: "Because I hate others making excuses with me, so in the future, you must not fake a smile in front of me, and be yourself."
The curve of Ryan Ford's lips completely tightened, and his whole body turned into a cold look that Alex Bennett had never seen before.
But Alex Bennett miraculously didn't feel scared.
He even felt that such Xie Wu was more like the real him.
It was as if through the young man Ryan Ford in front of him, he could see the little dumpling who threatened him with a dagger ten years ago with a straight face.
Alex Bennett felt itchy in his heart.
So he couldn't help but reach out and pinch Ryan Ford's face suddenly, just like he secretly rubbed Ryan Ford's face ten years ago when he was taking care of him.
Xie Wan suddenly turned his head, his eyes dark.
Alex Bennett suddenly acted like a little beast that sensed danger. He took a few steps back and said, "You are not allowed to be angry, no matter what I do."
He said with a guilty conscience: "Because this can be considered a reward."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away like a rabbit in the blink of an eye.
The moment Alex Bennett's figure disappeared, a black shadow with demonic aura around him suddenly appeared, half-kneeling beside Xie Wan.
The shadow covered his face with a black mask and bowed respectfully to Ryan Ford: "The Envoy of the Devil."
The black shadow didn't say much, but his fierce gaze revealed his murderous intention towards Alex Bennett without reservation.
Ryan Ford raised his eyes to stop him: "No need. How is the situation in the Demon Realm?"
Black Shadow replied: "The Holy Lord, the Four Demon Lords, and other Demon Lords have all thought that the master is dead, and the rest have been carried out according to the arrangements of the Demon Lords."
Ryan Ford glanced, and the black shadow instantly turned into black mist and disappeared.
Looking at the place where Alex Bennett's figure disappeared, Xie Wan slowly unfolded a new scroll, his dark eyes unbearably cold.
*
The night is bright and clear, and the bright moon hangs high.
A lonely figure sat in front of the lacquered red carved window.
Ryan Ford was wearing a moon-white shirt, sitting alone in a wheelchair, with a thin white blanket covering his legs and knees, and an open book on it, as well as an inconspicuous white flower on the book.
The moonlight illuminated his whole body as fragile and transparent as a phantom in a dream.
Until he took out a dagger.
Compared to the palm of a young man's hand, this dagger is too short and slightly blunt. It is not of high quality.
Therefore, this dagger was eliminated by him a long time ago.
Just like that past that he had almost forgotten.
However, tonight, perhaps something happened during the day that made him miraculously recall what happened after the Xie family fell.
The thin and short figure seemed to appear in his sight again.
And the crazy actions he made before his death are still incomprehensible to Ryan Ford.
Just like Olivia Carter today.
Thinking of "Olivia Carter's" recent weird and unknown behavior, Ryan Ford frowned, as if a stone had been thrown into a lake. For no reason, Ryan Ford suddenly became depressed.
*
Naturally, Alex Bennett didn't take the incident that "annoyed" Ryan Ford to heart that day.
Since telling Xie Wan the surprise of the scroll, in addition to walking and chatting, Alex Bennett and Xie Wan have one more thing they can do together, which is to learn spells together.
To be more precise, Ryan Ford studied alone while Alex Bennett turned over the notebook.
Seeing Xie Wan frowning in distress and occasionally having to write furiously, Alex Bennett stretched lazily on the beauty's couch while holding his notebook in his arms.
I thought, novels are always magical!
It can only be said that it is indeed a world of cultivation. The details of the fairy tale books in this world are much better than those they completely fabricated in the 21st century.
The smooth fights between gods and goddesses are as smooth as movies, and the life-or-death love story is as poignant and beautiful. In addition, Alex Bennett even saw some detailed cultivation techniques in a novel about cultivating immortals!
Alex Bennett was greatly shocked: Can one still cultivate immortality by reading novels?
The world is indeed crazy.
However, happy days are always short-lived.
A few days later, Song Mian suddenly ran up to him in a panic and shouted breathlessly: "It's not good, young master. The master of the house came back from a visit and learned about the situation in which you were in danger a few days ago. He is now rushing to your place." coming!"
Under Ryan Ford's gaze, Alex Bennett jumped up from the beauty's couch.
"What did you say?"
"Master of the house, master of the house..."
Before Song Mian finished speaking, Alex Bennett pushed Xie Wan and Song Mian out of the door, and said to Song Mian with a heroic and tragic look on his face: "Take Xie Wan away quickly!"
"Leave this to me!"
Song Mian: ...
Ryan Ford: ...
After seeing the two off, Alex Bennett frantically arranged her clothes in front of the bronze mirror in a panic.
When I was about to cheer myself up in the mirror, a tall figure suddenly stepped into the room and said coldly and sternly:
"Where are you going to fool around again?"
Alex Bennett stood up suddenly. When he saw the visitor for the first time, his name naturally appeared in his mind.
Lin Canggu, the current head of the Lin family, is also Olivia Carter's father.
"Dad..." Alex Bennett finally calmed down his panic, but was stirred up again in an instant.
