His beloved disciple was seduced by the demon race and forcibly opened the Myriad Demon Cave. To save all living beings, Li Youyang sacrificed his soul to seal it.
A hundred years later, when...
Chapter 51: Routine Master Li Youyang frowned: "Lifelong...
Li Youyang frowned, "Lifelong matters are not to be taken lightly. Never speak so lightly again in the future."
Bei Liyuan bowed respectfully and said, "I've made note of this. I was also anxious for the moment, worried that the two of them would demolish the Chengyan Palace."
Bang!
With a loud bang, the sign of Chengyan Temple was blown into pieces by the embers of the fight between the two men.
Li Youyang looked at the fragments with a face as black as ink and his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river).
Bei Liyuan said sternly, "Master, if this continues, we might have nowhere to stay tonight."
Li Youyang said to the two of them coldly, "Stop."
However, the two of them couldn't hear it at all.
Bei Liyuan said respectfully, "Master, I have a way to make them stop immediately, but it may offend you."
Seeing the two of them destroy another room, Li Youyang held his forehead with his hand. It was all about money. "Don't be so picky at this moment."
Bei Liyuan curled his lips, suddenly took a step forward and put his arms around Li Youyang's waist, lowered his head and approached Li Youyang. Li Youyang was stunned to the side.
A smile flashed across Bei Liyuan's eyes. The look of his master was truly irresistible.
The two people fighting in the void really stopped their movements at the same time and attacked Bei Liyuan with their palms. Bei Liyuan raised the corners of his lips slightly. It was originally just a feint, but now he had to thank these two people.
Then, he used the power of their palms to kiss Li Youyang firmly on the lips. Li Youyang was so shocked that his eyes widened instantly.
Master’s lips were so cold and soft, I really didn’t want to let go.
Li Youyang tried to push Bei Liyuan away, but Bei Liyuan pretended to be seriously injured and leaned weakly on Li Youyang. Of course, his lips moved away, but he deliberately touched Li Youyang's ear and lips, and finally stopped at his neck, rubbed it gently and took a breath.
Then he secretly used his spiritual energy to aggravate the injuries inflicted on the two men, spitting out a mouthful of blood and fainting.
Li Youyang was already angry when he came to his senses. He couldn't be angry even though Bei Liyuan was injured so badly. After all, he just wanted to make a fake move and didn't do it on purpose.
In the end, he could only look coldly at Fu Guangjun and Nan Liujing. Both of them could see that Li Youyang was really angry, so they stood aside obediently.
Li Youyang suppressed his anger, bent down and picked up Bei Liyuan and returned to the room. The Medicine Saint just arrived with the elixir. After checking Bei Liyuan's pulse, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes: "How did you get hurt so badly?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "Ask the two outside."
Medicine Saint was stunned for a moment: "Why are they attacking Li Yuan?"
Li Youyang lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The Medicine Saint understood and took out the elixir for Bei Liyuan to take. "Youyang, they're already here. Hiding isn't an option. You have to choose one and make the other give up. Although Fu Guangjun hasn't said it explicitly, you should be able to guess a little bit from our time together."
Li Youyang said coldly, "I have no intention of finding a Taoist partner."
The Medicine Saint laughed, "These two people won't give up just because you said you didn't intend to become a Taoist partner, especially after what happened a hundred years ago."
Li Youyang looked at the unconscious Bei Liyuan and asked, "Is it true that they will not stop until I find a Taoist partner?"
The Medicine Saint smiled but said nothing, giving the obvious answer: "I'll go get Li Yuan some medicine. You should think carefully about it. Fu Guangjun has both the looks and the cultivation, and he's perfect for you. He's a perfect match."
After the Medicine Saint left, Li Youyang sat at the table, tapping his fingertips on the table impatiently. If he had known Fu Guangjun's intentions earlier, he would never have gone looking for this person.
It was not until the evening that Li Youyang finally made a decision.
It was already midnight when Bei Liyuan woke up. Seeing Li Youyang sitting at the table, he thought that he had occupied the bed and left Li Youyang with no place to sleep. He blamed himself and hurried to get up.
Li Youyang suddenly said: "Li Yuan..."
"Yes, the disciple is here."
When the words came to his lips, Li Youyang was a little unsure how to start: "That... um..."
Bei Liyuan's lips curled up slightly invisibly. He had already guessed what Li Youyang was going to say, but he did not speak actively. Instead, he waited quietly.
Li Youyang coughed twice to hide his embarrassment: "Well... let's become Taoist companions. Don't worry, if you meet the person of your dreams in the future, I will help you to break up."
Bei Liyuan was overjoyed, but pretended to be shocked. "Didn't Master say that such things shouldn't be mentioned casually?"
Li Youyang continued, "Hmm... I've thought about it carefully again, and I think you're right. If we want to resolve this issue completely right now, forming a Taoist partner is the best way. After much thought, I think you're the only suitable candidate. Of course, if you're unwilling, your master won't force you."
I'm not willing, why would I not want to, silly master, you are really slow-witted and really easy to deceive! Bei Liyuan bowed respectfully: "Master, your kindness to me is as great as a mountain, I am willing to do it, but I have a request."
"you say."
Bei Liyuan continued, "I once saw the real Cheng Yanjun when I became his disciple. I hated him deeply. Even if he was fake, I didn't want to have such a relationship with him. So, I hope to sign a Heavenly Dao oath with Master. Not only will my body but also my consciousness will bear the Dao Companion mark."
Li Youyang was silent. The Heavenly Dao oath and the mark of divine consciousness were no joke. For ordinary Taoist couples, they could just sever the red thread in front of the marriage stone to break the bond. However, the Heavenly Dao oath required Heavenly Dao punishment to break the bond. Li Yuan's idea was understandable. Well, he would just sign the oath. It would then only bind him, and any future punishment would only fall on him. "Okay, as you say."
Bei Liyuan curled his lips, moved his sword quickly, and the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate appeared in the void.
Bei Liyuan wrote his name and handed it to Li Youyang: "Master."
Li Youyang took it. He had originally planned to sign the marriage certificate in front of everyone tomorrow, but for him it made no difference whether it was a moment earlier or later, so he just wrote down his name.
Ever since the marriage certificate was in Li Youyang's hands, Bei Liyuan clenched his fists nervously, and only let go after Li Youyang signed his name.
Then he took the marriage certificate, and slashed his sword finger across his brow. A drop of blood fell on the marriage certificate. Li Youyang did the same. Then the two of them held hands and sent the marriage certificate at the same time. A light appeared in the void: "Are you two sure you want to conclude the Heavenly Dao Vow?"
They both nodded at the same time.
Then a red gold note appeared in the void: "From now on, the Heavenly Dao Oath will bind those who are on this note."
Li Youyang was about to sign, but Bei Liyuan had already written his name and stopped Li Youyang. He was the one who tricked Li Youyang into having this Taoist partner today, and he was afraid that one day Li Youyang would regret it. It was enough for him to bear this punishment alone.
The red gold note slowly disappeared after the names were signed. "Congratulations to the two of you. Heaven has witnessed the signing of your Dao couple. I wish you two to hold hands for the rest of your lives, and love each other forever."
Li Youyang's eyes were filled with self-blame: "Li Yuan, I should be the one to sign this post."
Bei Liyuan smiled and said softly, "Master, I am willing to do this for you."
Li Youyang was stunned. There was something wrong with this statement.
"Feel sorry."
"What's wrong?"
Bei Liyuan smiled: "Nothing."
I'm sorry for using such despicable means to deceive you who trusted me so much, I'm sorry that I can't treat you honestly who treated me so sincerely, and... I'm sorry that I selfishly kept you by my side when I didn't know how to love such a good person like you.
On the second day, Li Youyang directly announced to everyone that he and Bei Liyuan had become Taoist partners.
The Medicine Saint was completely stunned. He said those words to Li Youyang in order to force Li Youyang and help Fu Guangjun. However, he did not expect that Li Youyang would just find someone to be his Taoist partner in order to get rid of this trouble. If he had known this, he would not say anything more.
Medicine Saint could guess what Li Youyang was thinking, and the other two could naturally guess it as well. If they had known that they would be forced to this extent, they would have been obedient long ago. Although they were Taoist companions in name only, they still had to break free from this restraint as soon as possible.
Fu Guangjun spoke first: "Youyang, we understand what you mean. From now on, we will be close friends like before. Let's remove this Taoist couple seal as soon as possible."
Bei Liyuan said solemnly: "Master and I are in love with each other. We are truly Taoist companions and will hold hands for the rest of our lives."
After saying that, he looked at Li Youyang with eyes full of affection. Li Youyang coughed twice in embarrassment: "Yeah...right."
Fu Guangjun's eyes darkened. It seemed he would have to start with Bei Liyuan. "Youyang, we've offended quite a few people while traveling before. If they knew your current state, they would definitely not let you off. Therefore, your Taoist companion must be strong enough to protect you. Bei Liyuan, from today on, I will personally teach you the ropes."
Nan Liujing said solemnly: "Fuguang Jun will get tired sometimes, so I will teach you some tricks."
Li Youyang did not object. In his opinion, it would be very beneficial for Bei Liyuan to improve his cultivation if these two people practiced together. "Nangong Liuchu, you come too."
Nangong Liuchu asked cautiously, "Shall we teach Junior Brother some moves together?"
Li Youyang frowned: "You think highly of yourself."
Nangong Liuchu scratched his head.
Li Youyang said solemnly, "I was fed together with Li Yuan."
Nangong Liuchu: ...
His good days have only lasted for a short time, he doesn’t want to be beaten every day!
The Medicine Saint was at a loss for words. How could things have developed in this direction? Well, I should prepare more healing pills.
For the next three days, Fu Guangjun unilaterally beat Bei Liyuan. Of course, Bei Liyuan would occasionally slap Fu Guangjun one or two times, but it didn't hurt Fu Guangjun at all.
Nan Liujing absentmindedly beat Nangong Liu once or twice, and most of the time he wanted to be alone with Li Youyang, but unfortunately he almost never had any.
"Chengyan Palace is such a small place that you won't be able to see it for three days, unless the master deliberately doesn't want to see you. Nan Liujing, go back. There's no point staying here all the time." Lie Wushuang said coldly.
Nan Liujing frowned. Bei Liyuan had already displeased him, and now Lie Wushuang had to deal with him. "What right do you have to say this to me, Han'ai-kun? Bei Liyuan was raised by our master since he was young. How many days have you been with our master?"
Lie Wushuang said solemnly, "No matter how many days I spend with Master, he at least doesn't get tired of me. But you are different. Master doesn't want to see you at all."
Nan Liujing smiled: "How do you know that Master doesn't want to see me, rather than being unable to bear to see me?"
"I can't bear to see you? You say that as if Master is so sorry for you." Nangong Liuchu walked over in a slightly embarrassed manner.
Nan Liujing's eyes flashed with guilt, and Nangong Liuchu continued, "Master Nan, to be honest, no one here welcomes you. You are the master of the number one sect, but if you were somewhere else, everyone would respect you. Why do you have to stay here and be treated coldly by others?"
Nan Liujing suddenly smiled: "Nangong Liuchu, have you ever felt bone-chilling cold? Have you ever felt the ultimate darkness? For those hundred years, I felt like I was in a bottomless abyss. There was no time, no temperature, no light. I was constantly falling and sinking. I couldn't even feel whether I was alive. Only here, beside Master, even if Master didn't even want to look at me, can I feel that I am alive."
The person was clearly smiling, but it made people feel a little suffocated. Nangong Liuchu didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Nan Liujing! You did it all by yourself. Why are you pretending to be pitiful? You deserve what happened today." Fu Guangjun sneered, "You put out your own fire with your own hands. Who are you blaming?"
Nan Liujing silently clenched his fists and said coldly, "Mr. Fuguang, you may not be completely clean. If I find out..."
Fu Guangjun crossed his arms. "If you can really find out, I will commit suicide in front of him without you having to do anything! What about you? Nan Liujing, how dare you still be alive?!"
