Ye Yunxi and Ning Shuangchen, both young masters of their respective sects, are rivals.
The two accidentally fell into a deep cliff while fighting over a spiritual beast.
The good news:...
Chapter 33 Chapter 33 "The Hated Ning Shuangchen"...
From the moment they mentioned Ning Shuangchen, Ye Yunxi looked away unnaturally, stood aside and looked away, not saying another word from beginning to end.
Unexpectedly, his father found out.
He and Ning Shuangchen were old enemies. They disappeared at the same time and now appear at the same time.
It is inevitable that people will think of them together.
Just as he was thinking about how to answer, he saw his father frowning and asking worriedly: "Did that kid bully you? Don't be afraid, tell dad and I will seek justice for you."
Bullying is bullying.
But another kind of bullying.
Ye Yunxi couldn't say it.
If people knew what happened between him and Ning Shuangchen, let alone seeking justice, he suspected that his father would directly rush into the Shuanghua Sect with a sword and stab Ning Shuangchen to death.
Just as I thought of this, I suddenly saw two green shadows flash by, and then two slender light green figures floated onto the spirit boat.
One of them was his senior sister Mu Qinglan who had just been waiting at the exit of the secret realm, and the other was the wife of the leader of the Yunlan Sect, who was also his mother.
Seeing the person coming, Ye Yunxi's brows immediately relaxed and he shouted loudly: "Mom!"
The leader of the Yunlan Sect also looked over with him, but he shrank his neck with a guilty conscience and called out weakly, "Madam..."
After he finished shouting, he touched the tip of his nose, forced a smile and explained to her: "Yun'er has returned. I was just about to send you a message."
The Sect Leader's wife didn't even look at him. With a cold face, she walked straight to Ye Yunxi.
Unlike other people's parents, his father, although he is the leader of the Yunlan Sect, is only serious when dealing with important matters of the sect. He is always cheerful on weekdays.
His mother, on the other hand, was a person with a cold face but a soft heart. She was efficient and quick in her actions, and many matters, big and small, of the Yunlan Sect would pass through her hands.
At the same time, I know him best.
Whenever he did something bad secretly when he was a child, his mother would see through it at a glance and he could never hide it from her.
Sure enough, as soon as he called out "Mom", he heard her ask, "I heard from Qinglan that you accidentally lost your storage bag?"
Ye Yunxi didn't expect her to ask this. He was stunned for a moment and nodded.
This is a fact, he did not lie, his storage bag was indeed lost accidentally during the fight with Ning Shuangchen.
Just as I nodded, before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I heard her ask, "Since you lost your storage bag, why don't you go back the same way to find your brothers and sisters?"
Obviously, he felt that something had happened to him in the secret realm.
The leader of the Yunlan Sect was watching from the side, opened his mouth and tried to interrupt, but after his wife glanced at him, he immediately closed his mouth.
Ye Yunxi stroked the corner of his clothes with his fingers, pursed his lips, and said what he had been thinking for a long time: "I, I saw a spirit beast in the secret realm, and wanted to keep it as a pet, but I accidentally got lost while chasing it. When I came to my senses, my storage bag was lost, my brothers and sisters were missing, and I didn't catch the spirit beast..."
As he spoke in a low voice, he secretly watched her expression. Thinking about everything that happened at the bottom of the cliff that he had to keep to himself, he couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.
After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and waited anxiously, thinking that his mother would continue to question him, or see through his lies at a glance.
Unexpectedly, after a while, the Sect Master's wife's gaze gradually softened, and her voice also softened a little, but her tone was still a bit serious: "It's good that you're back. Next time, don't act like this again. You must follow your brothers and sisters closely."
When Ye Yunxi heard this, he felt his nose getting even more sour. He felt guilty for lying, and also felt an unspeakable grievance. These two indescribable emotions mixed together and filled his heart.
His eyes also turned red, and he softly called out "mother", then "father", frowned slightly, and said with a hint of guilt: "It's Yun'er who made you worry."
"Madam is right. It's good that he's back. As long as he's fine, that's fine." The leader of the Yunlan Sect followed up and then smiled at Ye Yunxi: "Our Yun'er is so old and still cries."
Ye Yunxi sniffed and denied, "I didn't!"
The leader of the Yunlan Sect smiled again.
The Sect Leader's wife turned and looked at him.
The leader of the Yunlan Sect immediately calmed down a bit, still smiling, and asked cautiously in a flattering tone: "Madam, shall we go back now?"
Thinking of his failure to send a message in time, the Sect Master's wife's eyes turned cold, she put away her expression and spoke slowly: "Since Yun'er is fine, then go back."
Then, he said to Ye Yunxi in a gentle voice, "It's windy outside, go in first."
Ye Yunxi obediently responded with a "yes".
Just as they were walking towards the spirit boat, the Frost Flower Sect's spirit boat turned around, with its golden flags fluttering in the wind.
This time, Ye Yunxi couldn't help but look back.
When the leader of the Yunlan Sect saw him stop, he turned around and called out, "Yun'er?"
Then I asked him, "What are you looking at?"
The figure did not appear on the spirit boat opposite.
Hearing the shout, Ye Yunxi hastily retracted his gaze, came back to his senses and shook his head: "No, nothing."
After he finished speaking, he followed him into the spirit boat. However, when he turned around, a faint sense of sadness inexplicably flashed through his heart.
They probably won't see each other again.
Never see you again.
The building-like spirit boat started slowly, passing through the misty clouds and heading towards the Yunlan Sect located among the continuous peaks.
Ye Yunxi thought that after he returned to Yunlan Sect, he would forget everything that happened at the bottom of the cliff and seal that unbearable memory forever in the past.
But for some reason, the more he wanted to forget, the clearer it became.
Every night after falling asleep, I would dream of him and Ning Shuangchen together.
When he dreamed of being in the cave, Ning Shuangchen applied medicine to him.
He dreamed that in the dense forest, Ning Shuangchen was carrying him on his back to find the way.
In the dream, Ning Shuangchen and he got married.
I dreamed that Ning Shuangchen was meditating with him under a peach tree...
My head is full of Ning Shuang dust.
This feeling is so strange.
It’s like… I really, really want to see that person in my heart.
Why would he want to meet Ning Shuangchen?
Not only are they old enemies, they have also been practicing spiritual cultivation together for nearly three months. He should want to stay away from Ning Shuangchen.
Ye Yunxi couldn't figure it out.
And I was restless all day because of this.
Only when he was practicing swordplay would his heart temporarily calm down.
Therefore, in the half month since he returned to Yunlan Sect, he would practice sword every day. Sometimes he would go to the sword practice pavilion to spar with his senior brother, and sometimes he would go to the medicine practice pavilion to find his uncle.
The Yaoxiu Pavilion is located on Qingya Peak in the north of Yunlan Sect. The pavilion master is his uncle, who practices both medicine and swordsmanship. He is both a medical practitioner and a swordsman.
Behind Qingya Peak there is a thatched-roof medicine house, where his uncle usually makes elixirs and medicines, and he also practices swordsmanship here.
Ye Yunxi came early in the morning. He had dreamed of Ning Shuangchen again last night. In the dream, they were rubbing each other's necks and were so intimate that he was restless early in the morning.
Hearing that he was here to practice swordplay again, the uncle didn't ask many questions. He just took out his own sword and practiced with him.
Although he is a medical practitioner, his uncle's swordsmanship is still better than his.
For a moment, sword shadows intertwined in front of the pharmacy.
The sword was coming towards him, and Ye Yunxi drew his sword to avoid it. He heard his uncle say, "You came at the right time. Last year I brewed a pot of peach blossom wine, and today is the perfect time to open it. Although peach blossom wine is not as sweet as fruit wine, it is refreshing. You can try it."
He continued while performing sword moves, "Speaking of which, this method of brewing wine was told to me by a senior who lived in a peach blossom forest at the foot of a mountain when I passed by Fengyue Sect a few years ago."
Suddenly hearing the three words "Fengyue Sect", Ye Yunxi couldn't help but lose his mind.
He hadn't heard these words for a long time since returning to the sect.
At this moment, the sharp sword tip came slashing from his left shoulder. Ye Yunxi immediately gathered his attention and blocked it with the sword blade. He turned his wrist and made a sword flower, deftly resolving the opponent's sword move.
After practicing swordplay, the master uncle sheathed the sword and smiled faintly, saying, "It seems that Yunxi has gained a lot from this trip down the mountain. Not only has his cultivation improved, but his swordsmanship has also improved a lot."
Ye Yunxi, who knew the reason, touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed by the compliment, and said awkwardly: "Uncle Master, please stop making fun of me. You are well aware of my cultivation level."
There was a little more seriousness in the uncle's eyes, his pupils were as gentle as jade, and there was still a faint smile on the corners of his lips: "Uncle has teased you a few times, your cultivation has indeed improved a lot compared to when you came down the mountain."
That was because he had been practicing spiritual cultivation with Ning Shuangchen almost every day before.
"Maybe, maybe I've been practicing these past few months..." Worried that the other party might have figured it out, Ye Yunxi replied vaguely and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Uncle Master, where's the peach blossom wine you mentioned? Let me open it for you."
Hearing him say he wanted to help, the uncle pursed his lips slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, then you can come to Kaifeng."
The wine altar is buried under the flower stand next to the medicine house, and the stand is full of blooming morning glory flowers. After opening it, a sweet and mellow aroma of wine immediately hits your nose, with a hint of peach blossom fragrance in the aroma.
The two of them sat down at the stone table under the flower stand.
The last time I drank alcohol was in a hallucination, when I drank the wedding wine with Ning Shuangchen in the bridal chamber.
In order to break the illusion, they got married several times, and finally he got out after accidentally kissing Ning Shuangchen.
That was the first time he kissed Ning Shuangchen...
Somehow my thoughts drifted away again.
It seemed that whenever he thought of Ning Shuangchen, his heart would become confused.
When he came back to his senses, his uncle had already poured him some wine and moved the glass in front of him: "Try it? Although it's not fruit wine, it's not intoxicating."
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass at hand, raised it to his lips, and said, "Instead of practicing swordsmanship, it's better to drink. If you have any worries, just drink a little."
As if he had been seen through, Ye Yunxi dodged his gaze and said slowly, "I, I'm not worried."
Seeing that the other person was smiling but not saying anything, he also picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine thoughtfully.
It was just as my uncle-master had said. Although this peach blossom wine was not as sweet as fruit wine, it was very refreshing. The wine was smooth and refreshing when it went down my throat. Even my nose was filled with the faint aroma of peach blossoms.
It seems as if a peach blossom forest is floating before your eyes.
After only two drinks, Ye Yunxi was already a little tipsy, with a faint blush on his face.
He looked down and saw that his uncle had filled his glass again and asked him, "Is this wine okay?"
Ye Yunxi nodded and hummed softly, his head becoming a little dizzy.
He lowered his eyes to look at the reflection in the wine glass. It was clearly himself at first, but somehow, when he looked again, it turned into Ning Shuangchen.
Ye Yunxi rubbed his eyes, frowned, and murmured in confusion: "Why can't I help thinking about someone even though I obviously hate him?"
Hearing this, the figure beside the stone table glanced at him, narrowed his eyes, sipped his wine and said thoughtfully: "Maybe it's not annoying."
"I don't hate him...right..." Ye Yunxi's eyes froze for a moment, then he frowned and shook his head: "No, I hate him...I hate him..."
Very annoying, very annoying...
Even though they've left, it still makes me so upset.
The annoying Ning Shuangchen!
His head became heavier and heavier at this moment, and the next moment, Ye Yunxi fell directly on the stone table.
Huh? You're drunk so quickly?
The figure in green shirt waved his hand in front of his eyes and called softly: "Yunxi?"
The person lying on the stone table seemed to be really drunk, with his eyes slightly closed and his face flushed.
Looking at the flushed face, he couldn't help but sigh softly, then he stood up, walked closer, bent over and helped the person up from the stone table.
Just as she held his arm, Ye Yunxi moved her lower lip, her brows still furrowed, and she murmured in a soft voice: "Hate... Ning Shuangchen..."
