Guiding demon lord × taciturn, aloof Sword Venerable | Love grows over time, romance-focused

The old pact between the human and demon realms was nearing its end when a murder occurred at Guiyue Crossing. Demon Lord Yan Mingshu went in person to negotiate with the immortal sects.

She smiled and invited Sword Venerable Xie Tingyun to sit down and talk. He only asked, "Have you brought in the people involved?"

Yan Mingshu soon realized the rumors hadn't exaggerated. The Sword Venerable was indeed a man of few words, with a cold expression. He was willing to stand beside her while investigating the case, but once business was done, he wouldn't stay even long enough for a cup of tea.

Later, the case was solved and the old pact renewed. Yan Mingshu returned to the demon realm.

Xie Tingyun came to patrol the border.

The following month, he came again.

Eventually, even the disciples of the Border Guard Alliance couldn't understand why the Sword Venerable had to cross the river himself over such a minor matter.

On the night of the demon realm's lantern festival, Xie Tingyun invited Yan Mingshu to go with him for the first time. At dusk, she spotted her elder brother returning from a long journey. Overjoyed, she ran down the long steps and threw herself into his arms.

Xie Tingyun didn't know the man. He walked up to them. "You promised to see the lanterns with me tonight."

Yan Mingshu teased him. "Would you mind if I brought him along, Sword Venerable?"

"I would." Xie Tingyun looked at her. "I only invited you."

A few days later, he was back in the demon realm. Yan Mingshu searched through their recent agreements, but couldn't find any matter that required him to come in person.

"What official business are we discussing this time?"

"There is no official business."

"Then why are you here?"

Xie Tingyun looked at her. "To see you."
