Chapter 1381 Such kindness can only be repaid with…

Suddenly, the sound of a flute came from afar, and the fierce and evil cultivators slowed down and then immediately retreated.

"Want to leave? Imperial decree!"

"boom!!!"

Master Han descended from the sky, and wherever his palm strike passed, the evil cultivators were instantly reduced to ashes.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, Song Chunxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Controlling multiple pieces at the same time is very mentally taxing.

Just as she was about to sit down, she caught a glimpse of a dark figure out of the corner of her eye and instinctively reached out to stop it.

"careful!"

"you……"

"puff!"

Ba Wang Wuyou, Wei Xue Hong Dao Dou, and all the other weapons with spirits rushed forward to block, but they still couldn't stop the faint glint of the arrow's tail, which suddenly pierced into Song Chunxue's palm.

The hidden weapon that had turned a corner was aimed at Xie Zheng.

Before she could even show off her quick reflexes, Song Chunxue felt a sudden dizziness.

"Damn it, it's me again!" she complained to Wuyou.

[Sigh, it's your fault for loving Lord Xie so deeply, is it my fault?]

...

"Father, why hasn't Master Akita woken up yet? Is she really alright?"

"Father, why don't you ask two more doctors to take a look? The poison has subsided, but if he still hasn't woken up, could there be some other hidden danger?"

"Father, Master Akita isn't married, is he? He saved you, so it's right for me, as his daughter, to repay him by marrying him, isn't that right?"

"father……"

"father……"

"Nonsense, you're just... He has someone he likes, you can't force him."

"But Father..."

"Alright, alright, let's go, don't disturb their rest."

"Father, I want to..."

"You don't want to!"

The room quieted down, and Song Chunxue opened her eyes.

Looking at the unfamiliar rooftop, her feelings were mixed.

If I heard correctly, the father and daughter who were chattering like sparrows just now were Huo Xiang and his daughter.

It shouldn't be the one they met back then, but rather his and his wife's later child, who is still very young.

"You're finally awake. Come and have some water."

Suddenly, a person appeared in front of you, holding a bowl of water.

"Did I scare you by saying I just learned how to become invisible?" Xie Zheng, dressed in a deep purple robe, exuded nobility and had a gentle gaze.

As Song Chunxue prepared to sit up, Xie Zheng immediately put down the water and helped her up.

“No, I’m not that weak,” she said, glancing towards the door. “Where are the others?”

"You don't want to see me?" Xie Zheng asked bluntly. "You'd be quite disappointed to see me?"

"..."

[Hehehe, did this thing crawl out of a vinegar vat?] Wuyou's voice was always there.

Song Chunxue pressed her temples; she always felt that Wuyou would interfere with her judgment of Xie Zheng.

He's not jealous, just unhappy. Stop stirring things up and go out and have some fun.

[Hehe, watching you two go back and forth, isn't it more fun than outside?] Wuyou clicked her tongue. [Tsk, how should I put it, don't think so much. You're both so old, it's not like you're about to start a family or build a career, that's for young people. You both have children and grandchildren, just follow your heart.]

[Is that so? I no longer need those ambiguous feelings that hinder my path to enlightenment. It seems I need to sort this out properly. Twenty years have passed; I can't let myself be at odds with myself.]

"Hmm?" Xie Zheng saw her lowered eyes and remained silent, and patiently asked again, "You really don't want to see me? Is it that even if feelings are gone, there's still a sense of kinship, or would you rather we be like strangers?"

He lowered his head and stroked the sandalwood beads on his wrist. "If that's really the case, it proves that Master Song still has feelings for Xie from the past."

“Lord Xie is overthinking things,” Song Chunxue immediately replied to prevent him from talking nonsense again. “I’m just not prepared for how to get along with Lord Xie right now. If I’ve made you uncomfortable, please forgive me.”

She said she was going to cup her hands in a gesture of respect, but when she raised her hand, she pulled it so hard that she grimaced in pain.

"Don't move," he said, his brow furrowed, his voice filled with worry. "The situation was so urgent, yet you still shielded me from the arrow. I have no way to repay this kindness except..."

Song Chunxue pursed her lips, giving him a quiet look as she watched how he might misinterpret her words.

"Given our friendship, let's not talk about these things. But next time, I hope Senior Brother Song will think more about himself and not be so selfless. If anything happens to him, I, Xie, will not be at peace." Seeing that the situation was not right, he changed his words, picked up the medicine bowl, and said, "Drink your medicine. Don't always act recklessly just because you have the Cold Spirit Stone."

"Cough cough cough, cough cough."

The coughing outside the door was very deliberate.
