But for now I can only bear with it.

After all, this wasn't a dream, and Ye Yanxi in that state wasn't suitable for his "rapid progress".

But he will never hesitate or delay, and he will show no mercy when the time comes.

“Crunch—”

Xu Qingyan pushed open the door.

Then raise your head.

He was not surprised at all, but he pretended to be surprised as he looked at the woman who was sitting on the chair that Pei Yu had sat on before.

A white dress.

Pure and flawless.

It looks so good with me in white.

She raised her eyes slightly, but her expression was unusually complex.

"Master, why are you here?"

Lin Yan raised her head and looked at him, the luster in her eyes was like a lake wrinkled by the wind.

"Do you still consider me your master, Xu Qingyan..."

People often repeat the same mistakes because they are soft-hearted.

The same things, the same people, always expecting miracles to happen, thinking that the problem lies with me, and as long as I become a little better, things will be completely different.

Will it really be different?

Xu Qingyan believes that some people are like a machine that has been wound up since birth, and they will only move towards a goal firmly. You are something that does not suit her or runs counter to her goal, and you have no hope from the beginning.

Even though Lin Yan is the master of Shen Jian Mountain and the master of many disciples of Shen Jian Mountain, she seems to be competent enough.

But Xu Qingyan will always remember how she broke down in tears and ruthlessly gave up on him when he thought he might have touched her.

So how can he believe it?

The ambiguous atmosphere between them, the smiles that he witnessed with his own eyes because of him. He believed that those scenes were real, but he also knew clearly that when faced with the temptation of ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal, he would still be the one she could give up.

Xu Qingyan looked at the woman who was inexplicably emotional at the moment.

"Master...I don't understand what you mean."

Lin Yan sat there, looking at this boy who had become a complete stranger to her in just a few days.

The memories of the past could no longer be seen on his face, and even the scenes of how he accepted him into Shenjian Mountain and how he taught him were gradually becoming blurred.

"Since you came out of seclusion... no, since you said you wanted to go into seclusion, what have you been doing?"

Lin Yan's voice seemed a little colder.

Half a year ago, she didn't take Xu Qingyan's sudden announcement of retreat seriously, but these days, whether it was his progress in cultivation, or the dispute in Jingxin Academy, plus the sudden contact between him and Pei Yu, that woman.

Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a subtle feeling.

Moreover...the nightmares that haunted her these days, those scenes that clearly had not happened but made her feel as if she were there, almost made her unable to distinguish between illusion and reality.

Even the face of the boy in the dream almost completely overlapped with Xu Qingyan in front of him.

It was as if those words that were still vividly remembered were really spoken by him, but...what were they?

Is it something that happened in some unknown time and space, or is it a prophecy about the distant future?

She had no idea. The only thing she knew was that after those strange dreams and images appeared, she became more and more concerned about what the boy had done. It was as if from that moment on, there was an invisible thread that was vaguely pulling her towards something.

Just like myself that night...I actually walked to his door, and...there was no response.

Xu Qingyan certainly didn't know what the other person was thinking, he just gave a normal, calm answer.

"Master, you should know what I did, right? There's nothing special about it."

Nothing special? Lin Yan wanted to laugh.

Annoying the leader of a sect and having an inexplicable connection with the master of Xueyu Mountain, isn't this special enough?

What concerned her most was the boy's attitude towards her.

He seemed to no longer be the Xu Qingyan who knew everything about me and would smile at me every time I looked at him.

He was looking at her calmly now, less than five steps away from her, but the distance between their eyes seemed as far as a galaxy.

What fills my emotions is a feeling of powerlessness.

"Really? Then how come it took you half a year to advance from the third level to the fourth level of the Bone Tempering Realm? When I first started, I knew your talent, and it was definitely not that high."

Xu Qingyan looked into her eyes calmly.

"Talents also run out one day. Perhaps this is the limit of my talent."

"You mean I was wrong?"

"That's not what I meant. I failed Master's expectations."

He said something that sounded like he was feeling guilty, but his expression was filled with indifference.

Does he not care about cultivation? Or does he not care about his master, whom he once trusted and relied on so much?

A sour thread entangled in my chest.

Her voice became even colder.

"So what happened to you at Jingxin Academy? How did you get the confidence to talk to her like that?"

Lin Yan felt that she understood Xu Qingyan, at least she understood Xu Qingyan before he went into seclusion. He would never dare to talk to Song Xiyan like that, and even dare to put forward conditions in such a situation. This was a Xu Qingyan she had never imagined.

It was from that time that she began to sense the obvious strangeness.

She is now afraid of a possibility.

Xu Qingyan's answer was still orderly.

"It's nothing. I just feel that if things have come to this, it would be better for me to leave in a dignified manner, even if I have the reputation of being ignorant of the world."

"Is this a good reputation?" She couldn't understand.

Xu Qingyan smiled and looked at Lin Yan.

"No one thinks I have a chance anyway, so it doesn't matter."

"But I..." She couldn't help but blurt out the words impatiently, but she got stuck in her throat before she could finish half of it.

Xu Qingyan's eyebrows slightly raised.

"how?"

Lin Yan took a deep breath. She felt that she had been worrying too much about some vague things, and she hadn't been herself recently.

So she looked at him again.

"No matter if others believe it or not, I believe in you. You are my disciple who I have taught myself. I will not give up on you if someone else does."

Hearing this, Xu Qingyan just wanted to laugh.

No?

When people make a promise, they firmly believe that they can do it.

But often when we break our vows, we feel that we really can't do it.

The promises and oaths are not ridiculous, but the people who firmly believe in them are ridiculous.

It is even more ridiculous to question the other party when they break their oath by bringing up their words at that time.

But those shocking scenes were all caused by me, all by me.

That's true, not imaginary, Lin Yan.

Therefore, his eyes and his expression did not show the emotion that Lin Yan hoped for. He just lowered his eyes slightly and bowed politely.

"Of course I believe in you, Master. You don't have to worry about it. If I really can't succeed, it's what I deserve. I can't blame you at all."

What he said sounded nice, but his tone and expression showed that he didn't care.

This made Lin Yan's heart feel like a tangled mess. There were some things that she really couldn't help but talk about.

"Are you blaming me... for not speaking up for you firmly at that time?"

What surprised Xu Qingyan was not this sentence, but the obvious fluctuation of her emotions when she said this sentence.

The voice seemed to be trembling slightly.

He looked into the other person's eyes.

It was the kind of questioning that wanted an answer, and the subtle weakness that seemed rare in this woman.

But this is also the look that Xu Qingyan remembers most.

That was in my previous life. I went through untold hardships and risked my life to obtain the treasure that would help her reach the realm of transcending tribulation. I handed it to her without any regrets.

She asked herself.

"Give it to me...don't you regret it?"

So familiar.

Even the hidden softness is so similar.

It hit my heart exactly at that moment.

If there was a chance, he would also like to ask Lin Yan if she would regret it.

But how could that be?

When people get what they dream of, they may regret the experience, but it is just hypocrisy to make themselves feel better.

All he could remember now was her shaking head before she severed the red thread of their marriage.

Xu Qingyan also shook his head.

"No, I don't mean to blame Master. Besides, what qualifications do I have to blame Master? Cultivation is the disciple's business. If I were to cause trouble for Master, I would feel bad. And these... have nothing to do with Master."

Is this thinking about yourself?

It's true that Lin Yan is not good at relationships, but she also clearly knows that this is a form of denial and rejection.

Instead, it makes me feel even more bitter.

Obviously, in the past, he would ask me about everything, and when he encountered a problem, he would think of me first, relying on me so much...but now, he said that all this had nothing to do with me.

In her sleeve, she hid her thumb and clasped the knuckles of her index finger.

Very hard.

She felt that her breathing was a little difficult.

But he was avoiding her gaze at that moment, so Lin Yan blurted out the answer without even thinking.

"Then what is your relationship with Pei Yu? Why did she come to see you last night? This has nothing to do with me."

Xu Qingyan was not surprised that the other party knew about this matter. After all, Lin Yan was capable of knowing everything about Shen Jianshan.

It was just that Xu Qingyan still shook his head in response to this seemingly strange question.

"Those are just some minor matters, private affairs of my disciples."

"boom!"

Lin Yan slapped Xu Qingyan's desk with one palm, and in almost an instant, Xu Qingyan's desk was instantly shattered into powder.

Those debris flew in front of Xu Qingyan's eyes like a heavy snowfall.

But he still had no extra emotion. He just saw this woman, whose eyes were obviously trembling, and blood was obviously floating on her usually cold and indifferent face.

"I'm asking you if these things have nothing to do with me!"

Sometimes, the louder a person's questioning is, it doesn't mean she is more confident.

More often, it is a disguise to cover up one's own guilty conscience and the fact that one does not want to hear affirmation.

Xu Qingyan raised his head slightly.

He didn't feel sorry for the table, he felt sorry for the boy who was kind and gentle and willing to believe everything.
