I don't talk about love with my Martial Sister

Chapter 84

The weather was great, and the sunlight was intense.

Shang Can slowly walked out of the courtyard gate and turned back to check the barrier one more time. The entire residence was now surrounded tightly by her spiritual power, so much so that even an ant couldn't crawl in. It was an extraordinarily strong protective shield.

A small demon, transformed into human form, peeked at Shang Can's actions from a distance. This was one of the demons from Biluohuangquan that Wan Shao had mentioned were secretly assigned to protect them in Yun City. One of them, trembling with fear, cautiously walked up to Shang Can and asked in a soft, tentative voice, "Master Can, you're...?"

Shang Can didn't respond immediately. After confirming the barrier was flawless, she turned her head towards the voice and said calmly, "I'm going out for a bit. You all keep watch here."

Her voice was calm, without much emotion, yet the small demon felt that Shang Can was even more indifferent than usual, causing an inexplicable sense of instinctual fear to rise within. However, it still mustered the courage to ask, trembling, "Isn't the Lord Demon Master... accompanying you?"

"..." Shang Can remained silent for a moment before replying, "Wan Shao is asleep, probably from drinking too much. She'll likely be out for a while."

It seemed she didn't intend to stay long. As she turned away, she added in a casual tone, "No worries, it's nothing important. I can handle it myself. Just stay vigilant until they wake up. I've set up the barrier; if it's disturbed, I'll sense it. Don't move unnecessarily."

The small demon didn't dare defy her and nodded repeatedly, watching nervously as Shang Can walked away, feeling increasingly uneasy about her unusual behavior. Sensing this, Shang Can suddenly stopped.

After a brief hesitation, she spoke in a low voice, "Yunduan— I mean, Yun Zhongjun— doesn't eat much, so she'll probably wake up before Wan Shao."

"If she asks about me, just tell her—"

Shang Can abruptly stopped, falling silent for a long time before lowering her head, letting out a faint chuckle. "Just tell her you don't know. Don't worry, she's kind; she won't make things difficult for you."

After saying this, she made no further stops, and without waiting for the small demon's response, she walked straight towards the gate of Yun City.

Shang Can had spent a long time in Yun City, and many people on the street recognized her. Along the way, she responded to several greetings. After all, Shang Can usually went out with Yunduan by her side, so seeing her alone now naturally prompted some concern. Shang Can didn't mind and patiently answered each person.

"Mm, no worries, I know my way."

"She—she's at home." As soon as she said this, Shang Can furrowed her brows as if realizing something, then pursed her lips and forced a gentle smile. "I'm just taking a walk. It's not something that always requires her company. She's tired too, and I'd feel bad."

"Today... probably not. Next time, if there's an opportunity, I'll definitely visit again."

She nodded politely as a farewell, finally extricating herself from the greetings and leaving the city gate. Aunt Wang, who had just spoken with her, still felt uneasy— the child's eyes didn't seem to be healed yet. Wasn't it dangerous to run off outside the city? But when she turned around to call Shang Can back, the slender figure dressed in white had already vanished.

The weather was great, the sunlight intense, and Shang Can left Yun City alone.

Biluohuangquan.

The night crow, who had been busy searching for Qin Yi's whereabouts under Wan Shao's orders, was growing frustrated at the lack of progress when a commotion broke out near the city gate. Alert, he raised his head, his wariness only fading when he heard the joyful exclamations of the demons.
