Finally, as if he was really burying something, he placed the previous tombstone on the grave.
"The past me has been buried." The white-haired boy stared at the tombstone, "From now on, this is my second life."
Qian Qiuxue looked at him in astonishment. After a while, she whispered, "How dare you, the leader of the Demon Cult, tease me like this?"
Yan Mobai remained silent. He did not intend to explain to Qian Qiuxue. She would not understand.
In the past days, there were too many obsessions entangled with him, and now Yan Mobai buried them all.
From now on, he will walk his own path.
Of course... there will be a girl accompanying him.
"What are your plans for the future, Master?" Qian Qiuxue asked casually.
Yan Mobai thought for a moment and replied, "Yu Luo Yuan Hai is injured and needs time to recuperate. It is not advisable for her to travel far. Until she recovers, we should build a house nearby and live there."
Hearing the word "we" in his words, Qian Qiuxue felt inexplicably sad.
If all these things had never happened, would she still be included in these two words in the future?
Why did you insist on the approval of the great elders? Even if everyone in the world disagrees, so what?
Qian Qiuxue once thought that her disciple didn't understand feelings, but now she realizes that she is the one who doesn't understand.
No one has ever recognized the relationship between Li Yuluo and the leader, but she has never cared...
And she is just a junior in the Jindan stage.
The word "love" does not require a grand wedding, nor does it require the approval of others. It only requires two people who love each other.
Such a simple thing, why can't I see through it...
When Qian Qiuxue woke up from her sorrow and pain, she found Yan Mobai looking at her quietly. There was no emotion in his dark eyes except for the words "Why don't you leave?"
Although this sentence was just Qian Qiuxue's imagination, it still made her heart twitch.
That's right... the purpose of this trip has been achieved. I have so many words in my heart that I can't even say them out loud. What else can I do by staying here?
It was indeed time for her to go.
but……
Qian Qiuxue was still unwilling to leave like this.
The road ahead is long, and I don’t know when I will meet the leader again.
At least stay a little longer, feel the feeling of having him by my side a little longer... maybe, in a few days, I'll be able to say it out loud?
She hesitated for a long time before finally summoning up the courage to beg in the coldest tone: "Master...do you mind if I stay nearby for a few days?"
……
……
……
Please give me the monthly ticket at the beginning of the month!!
What follows is a plot full of dog food for the clan leader. There is no plan for the protagonist to forgive her in the short term, and the author will let her atone her sins.
These chapters may seem a bit watery to read, but the author really spent a long time writing them. He had to sort out the characters' motivations, make the two protagonists escape smoothly, let the sect leader release them, and then explain why she had to let the two go instead of just tying them back to the sect, and make the characters' various emotional changes smooth...
There are many details that you may not pay attention to when reading but the author paid great attention to when writing. I felt that the mood changes here were abrupt and the logic there was somewhat contradictory. I revised it over and over again, and my brain is almost worn out. But because of my obsessive-compulsive disorder, I don't want to force an explanation, so I feel sorry for being a bit long-winded.
Chapter 48: Staying in the Mountains
Seeing that Yan Mobai didn't answer, Qian Qiuxue suppressed her anxiety and tried to ask again with a cold face: "I see that the scenery nearby is very beautiful. Does the leader mind if I live here?"
She herself knew that this excuse was poor... the other party would definitely not believe it and would ask her the real reason why she stayed here.
At that time, in order to stay, I had no choice but to answer him truthfully.
Aren't you afraid to say it? Just force yourself to say it...
"These mountains and rivers are not the home of the Yan family. Where the Qianqiu Sect Master lives is none of my business."
Yan Mobai only glanced at her lightly.
"As a sect master who has reached the great perfection of soul refining, no one in the world can stop you no matter what you want to do."
Before Qian Qiuxue could react, he had already picked up the girl on the grass and turned away.
……
At this point, Yan Mobai's guard against Qian Qiuxue has not decreased in the slightest.
A few inches of body-refining energy were still pressed against his heart, not to kill him, but to use the unique premonition of spirit-refining to warn Qian Qiuxue:
If she dared to have any other intentions, these few inches of strength would instantly destroy Yan Mobai's heart meridians, and from then on, no one would be able to cure the poison.
No matter if it was due to the poison or some other reason, at least his life and death were of great significance to Qian Qiuxue.
This is the only bargaining chip to protect Li Yulo from harm, and he will never let it go.
Yan Mobai found some dry grass in the woods, piled it into a soft grass bed, and let the unconscious girl lie on it.
Then he carved an axe out of stone and walked into the dense forest with the axe.
Yan Mobai walked out of the woods dragging a few tree trunks. The heavy wood left several deep marks on the ground.
He didn't rest for long and walked into the forest again.
After a few incense sticks of time, a mountain of logs had piled up on the open space.
When Yan Mobai was still in the Demon Sect, he was the only one living in the entire valley. Those caves buried deep in the mountains could not appreciate the scenery outside. Facing the beautiful scenery of green mountains and green waters, Yan Mobai also built a few small houses in the mountains and lived there for a short period of time.
Although he no longer has the magical powers he once had, the methods and techniques of building a wooden house are still in his mind. Yan Mobai knows all the house-building techniques such as mortise and tenon, nails and wedges, rafters, pillars and beams.
He found a place with firm ground, not too far from the previous pond and waterfall, just enough to hear the clear and pleasant sound of water, but not too noisy.
Things are different now than in the past. He no longer has magical powers and can't capture objects from a distance. He has to do everything by himself.
By the time the foundation of the house was laid, Yan Mobai's body was covered in sand and dust, and the wound on his chest was torn and oozing dark red blood.
Suddenly, he had an idea and turned his head to look in a certain direction.
I saw a unique courtyard on a small slope not far away, with flying eaves and brackets, which was very magnificent.
Qian Qiuxue stood in front of the courtyard gate. She had changed into a gauze dress at some point and was looking over here with an unclear look in her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, her voice transmission sounded beside Yan Mobai's ears: "The leader is seriously injured, do you need my help?"
With the power of spiritual cultivation, not to mention a room, even a hall can be built in an instant.
She was confident that the house she built would satisfy the other party.
While expecting the other party to ask for help, I also had to control myself to be cold to him...
Qian Qiuxue's face became increasingly stiff, and she might collapse at any moment.
Only then did she realize how difficult it was to put on a false face.
Yan Mobai shook his head: "Since Sect Master Qianqiu has used these three months to offset those ten years, we owe each other nothing. From now on, I will be a member of the Demon Sect, and the Sect Master will be the leader of the Immortal Sect. Although we live next to each other, it is better not to be too presumptuous."
Qian Qiuxue’s face turned pale, and she suddenly turned around and walked into the courtyard and disappeared.
Yan Mobai rested for a while, dragged a horizontal beam from the woodpile, and started carving on it with a stone tool.
As a body-building cultivator in the late stage of Yuan-building, his strength is much better than that of ordinary people, and he is many times more efficient at work.
When the sky was just getting light, a simple wooden house appeared before our eyes.
Yan Mobai let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the cabin with great satisfaction.
The wooden house he built was not so exquisite, but at least it was sturdy and strong enough to shelter from wind and rain.
In the next few days or ten days, this will be his and Yu Luo’s home... Yan Mobai was in a trance for a moment.
For a poor man like him who has been lonely and helpless for more than a hundred years in his two lives, it is more or less a dream.
He did not rest for too long, and continued to make some furniture such as beds and stools with wood and resin. Since there was no oil paper or glass, he picked some thick leaves as window screens, and filled the gaps between the wood of the house with resin.
The morning mist was hazy, and the busy figure of the young man was walking back and forth in front of the cabin.
……
When Li Yulo woke up, he was already lying on a wooden bed.
She turned over in a daze, and her face rubbed against something rough and soft, like a straw mat, which made her skin sting.
"Hmm..." The girl suddenly lost her sleepiness, sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Why... is it so dark?"
The girl supported herself on the bed with her small hands, her black hair was disheveled, and her light purple eyes were filled with deep confusion.
When a cultivator reaches the Jindan stage, he will naturally resonate with the spiritual energy around him and can see things clearly in the dark, which is called spiritual vision.
But now, Li Yuluo found that it was dark all around her. She touched under her body and found a bed covered with a straw mat.
But she couldn't see anything clearly.
Did she... lose her cultivation...
Why did I lose my cultivation... Why does my stomach... ache...
She suddenly felt dizzy, and countless memories flooded into her mind.
The moonlight that illuminated the world, Yue Huaxia's second apprentice brother who was unharmed, the excruciating pain of a broken embryo...
And finally, a figure slowly stood up in the smoke and dust.
"I... lost..." The girl stood there.
If she loses and fails to escape from the pursuit, she will be executed by the sect and will never see the leader again...
Great sadness washed over the girl's heart. Tears welled up in her eyes and slid silently down her delicate face.
"Yu Luo?" A familiar voice sounded from the side.
At this time, Li Yuluo realized that there was a person sitting beside the bed. After a brief shock, she quickly recognized the other person's identity from the silhouette in the darkness. Her eyes suddenly widened, "Master..."
"Master!"
The girl threw herself into Yan Mobai's arms like a frightened little bird, her little chest heaving rapidly, and her white and tender arms tightly hugged the leader's body, fearing that he would disappear if she let go.
She kept shaking, and after snuggling into Yan Mobai's arms, she couldn't help but sob.
Yan Mobai gently patted the girl's back and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay."
After a very long time, the crying gradually turned into soft sobbing, and finally only continuous gasping for breath was left.
Yan Mobai didn't say anything, waiting quietly for the girl to calm down.
Gradually, the room fell into silence, and the person in his arms asked in a trembling voice: "Master... where are we?"
It was so dark around, this must be a prison in some cave in the mountains... Soon someone would come in with a stern face, drag her away, all the way to the Cliff of Judgment at the outer gate, and tie her to a wooden stake.
Then came her trial, one charge after another, and once all the evidence had been presented, she would be executed.
No matter which sect you belong to, betrayal is the most unforgivable crime.
Li Yuluo had seen the scenes of traitors being executed. They would first feed the traitor a pill that would destroy his cultivation, then feed him a pill to heal him so that he would not die too soon, then break all his bones and torture his soul with soul-breaking needles...
Thinking of those scenes, the girl couldn't help but shiver and shrank into the leader's arms.
"Master... I... am so scared..."
She is not afraid of death, but that doesn't mean she is not afraid of torture.
Chapter 49: Morning Events
Yan Mobai only then realized that Li Yulo didn't know what happened later, her memory was still stuck on the moment when her primordial fetus was shattered and she fell into a coma.
He thought about it, and suddenly put his arms around the girl's smooth and delicate legs and picked her up horizontally.
"Leader?!" Amid the girl's frightened screams, Yan Mobai carried her to the window of the wooden house.
Oh no!
The bed cloth made of wide leaves was pulled open, and the light golden morning light instantly shone into the wooden house, making all the furnishings in the house bright and spacious.
The clear sound of the waterfall, blocked by thick leaves, rang in my ears.
