"Master, don't worry, I haven't been possessed."
"But why..."
"My disciple, I have grown up and understand many truths. So I will not trouble you too much in the future, and I will not rely on you as much as before. I will walk my own path."
In that dream that seemed real and fake, she was the one who cut the red thread of marriage.
And now, he used his familiar smile to cut a string in his heart.
Her hands suddenly clenched, and a strong premonition told her that something in her heart was gradually peeling away.
The boy and man who blindly relied on me, blindly trusted me, and treated me well regardless of everything were getting farther and farther away from me.
She looked into his eyes and saw herself breaking apart in his eyes.
"What do you mean? Xu Qingyan, do you know that if you say something like this, I can think that you want me to expel you from the mountain?!"
Emotions started to get out of control.
She hoped that the other person would be scared and that he would change because of her attitude.
He became the boy he was familiar with, the boy who depended on him, believed in him, and always faced him with a sincere smile.
But he just whispered to himself.
"Don't bother Master with this matter."
"What?"
"After the sect's exam, the disciples will consider where they will go, regardless of whether they fail or pass."
The clenched fist loosened instantly.
Her eyes widened uncontrollably.
Her heart was constantly empty, losing warmth, and then filled with overwhelming bitterness.
She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
She couldn't help but feel that those scenes that seemed real and fake and had never happened seemed to have really happened. And now all this... seemed to be the karma she deserved.
Isn't that fake? It never happened.
Is that true? Otherwise, why does my heart seem to be riddled with holes?
She didn't know what the other party had considered before saying this, nor did she know how she left the other party's room, returned to her own mansion, and sat on the familiar bed for a whole day.
I didn't sleep, so I didn't dream anymore.
But her heart was more painful than having such a dream, like a sunken stone that had sunk to the bottom of the valley and could never be salvaged.
exhausted.
broken.
Considering his own destination...he wants to leave Chenjian Mountain and leave himself?
Even if you pass the exam?
But where can he go? Where!
Snow Feather Mountain?
Or is it somewhere you haven't thought of yet?
Lin Yan looked at the setting sun again, she could no longer tell.
I was regretting and trying to make amends because of the nightmares that had been haunting me recently, the unbelievable story, and the broken fragments.
Or...I simply can't accept the huge gap between Xu Qingyan, who used to rely on me so much and trust me so much, and now telling me that he wants to go his own way and has nothing to do with me.
Her pain is the hand she wants to take back but cannot extend.
I still want to regret and apologize, but I can't open my mouth.
"Master, are you here?"
There was a cautious voice coming from outside, but she could tell instantly that it was not Xu Qingyan but Bai Yingluo.
He is the disciple he is most proud of.
She couldn't feel happy at all at this moment, she looked wooden.
"Is something wrong?"
"Uh... nothing much, I just heard that Qingyan... Junior Brother Xu swore to the Sect Master that if he could not pass the sect's exam, he would leave the Eighteen Sword Sect completely. Is this true?"
"Why are you asking me about him?"
"Hey... Master, you..."
"Just ask him about his affairs, don't ask me!"
"...Okay, Master."
The footsteps gradually faded away.
Inside the room, the clenched fists loosened helplessly.
The beautiful and cool face illuminated by the setting sun.
A clear and crystal clear wet mark appeared.
What a beautiful setting sun.
How broken she is.
Bai Yingluo has always felt that her master is a very emotionally stable person.
Among the eighteen sword sects and the masters of the eighteen mountains, she was the relatively low-key one, never fighting or competing.
He always cultivates his own things and doesn't care about most conflicts of interest.
It seems that such a character is not suitable to be a mountain master. After all, he does not know how to fight for interests, which is not good for the development of the entire mountain.
But in fact, Lin Yan didn't care about anything. Her not fighting didn't mean she would be manipulated by others. In terms of protecting the disciples of the mountain sect, she was better than many people and didn't care much about the proportion of interests.
Therefore, although Shenjian Mountain is still not the top mountain gate in the entire Eighteen Sword Sects, it has been developing steadily and has not sunk downward.
From this point of view, Bai Yingluo respects Lin Yan very much.
However, Bai Yingluo had never expected that her simple question would lead to such a strange and intense response.
As far as I can remember... this cold and aloof but actually strong-willed master of mine has never lost his temper with me this much.
What was even more bizarre was that she could sense that Lin Yan's anger was not directed at her... So could it be because of the boy she mentioned?
Damn it, what's up with that little bastard lately?
I just heard that he actually made a bet with Sect Master Song Xiyan, and now Master is so angry with him for no reason, what is he going to do? He wants to go to heaven!
Bai Yingluo didn't waste any time. She had gone to Lin Yan to ask because she didn't find Xu Qingyan in the room. Now she thought that the only place he could be was...
On the hillside behind the mountain.
Facing the setting sun, the orange-red light burned the entire sky.
Those flaming clouds looked like flaming birds of fire.
And that familiar figure was on the grass slope that was blown down by the wind. His clothes were blown up by the wind, and his long hair still looked so messy and unkempt.
Bai Yingluo didn't call out the other person's name right away.
Because at first glance, she saw the strangeness in the other person.
How should I put it... Was Xu Qingyan like this before?
Not lazy, very energetic, seems to be curious about many things, and seems to have no worries.
But now that he was standing there, Bai Yingluo felt as if he was the only one left in the world.
What's on your mind?
Without even realizing it, he had grown up.
The image of him in my memory gradually became blurred.
This strange feeling made Bai Yingluo feel that the distance between them was getting farther and farther, and she suddenly felt a little empty inside, as if she was losing something.
But Bai Yingluo still walked over.
"Clear Flame."
Xu Qingyan was looking in the distance, with no real meaning, as if he was just emptying himself, a kind of laziness and depression that can usually be seen in people who just eat and wait for death.
In fact, the boy who had sensed the other party's arrival had turned slightly.
"Why is Senior Sister here?"
Bai Yingluo walked over angrily, wanting to walk up to him like she usually did, grab his ears, and then give him a good scolding as a senior sister.
But he walked angrily to the side of the young man and raised his head.
As soon as she met the inexplicably gentle gaze of this young man, she felt as if she had been tricked.
My cheeks felt uncontrollably warming up, as if I could clearly see my own face in his eyes, as if I had become another Bai Yingluo in his eyes. I was caught off guard by such a look, and it had never appeared before.
Her face was hot, and her heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly I couldn't lift my hand anymore.
Xu Qingyan smiled as he looked at this tall girl who was usually as blazing as fire but now as slender as a mimosa.
"Why are you coming over here without saying anything? Do you want me to guess?"
Bai Yingluo felt a little unnatural and felt indescribably embarrassed.
When she wanted to take a step back to distance herself from him, she didn't expect Xu Qingyan to reach out and grab her white wrist.
Bai Yingluo looked up in astonishment. As far as she could remember, Xu Qingyan had never dared to approach her so actively... Shouldn't he be extremely afraid of her?
Then she saw the boy's unfathomable eyes, and Xu Qingyan turned her head away.
"Don't go too far, Senior Sister, please sit with me for a while."
Bai Yingluo didn't know what she was thinking, she was pulled by his wrist, and sat under the gradually darkening sky without any resistance.
Maybe it's because... he seems abnormal.
It could also be because he looks so distressed now.
After sitting down, Xu Qingyan looked toward the horizon.
"Senior sister, did you come from Master?"
Bai Yingluo was stunned.
"how do you know?"
Xu Qingyan smiled.
"You looked at me very angry just now. Did Master say something to you about me?"
Bai Yingluo frowned.
"How dare you ask me what you did? I just went to ask Master about your matter, but she told me not to ask her about your matter... I have never seen Master get so angry. It's all your fault, you little brat."
Did I make that woman so angry?
Xu Qingyan didn't care much. When she left her room, she seemed to have lost all her strength, just like a piece of colored drawing paper turned gray in an instant...
Xu Qingyan felt that perhaps the other party was just not used to his change in attitude.
The person she thought she had under her control was now out of her control, and even said something offensive to her face, so it was normal for her to be a little angry.
But this was not Xu Qingyan's childish revenge on that woman.
It was a simple matter. No matter how good I was to her, some things would not change. Facing the temptation of ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal, I was still something she could abandon.
So he must first become a stranger to her in order to reverse what might happen.
"Yeah?"
"Of course. What did you do? I heard that you made a bet with the sect master at Jingxin Academy, saying that you would leave the Eighteen Swords Sect directly if you failed the sect's final examination. Is that true?"
Xu Qingyan nodded without hesitation.
