109 Sometimes you can't win the fight... so why not just let go
Gui Tong had been gone for a long time, but Xue Wuxi was still standing in the white plum forest, not moving a step.
The sky gradually darkened, and the sunset's residual red dyed the white plums bloody.
Xue Wuxi was alone, but suddenly spoke to the empty and deserted forest: "Come down, I know you are hiding above my head."
"The beauty is really sharp."
Li Yuan first hung upside down from the branch in front of Xue Wuxi, and then fell down.
This time he was still aiming at Xue Wuxi.
But Xue Wuxi was more careful this time and didn't take it. He even deliberately dodged.
Li Yuan fell straight to the ground headfirst, and cried "Aiya".
But he quickly sat up as if nothing had happened, rubbed his swollen head innocently, looked up at Xue Wuxi with a smile, "Why didn't you catch me?"
Xue Wuxi gave him a cold look, his snow-covered pupils dyed red by the setting sun, and answered irrelevantly: "Did you hear everything just now?"
"I heard it." Li Yuan said truthfully: "But I didn't listen here, you two are more clever than each other, I came here after seeing him leave."
Xue Wuxi had a clue in her heart.
It seems that what she said about him being a good person was also heard.
After a long pause, Xue Wuxi saw that Li Yuan was still sitting on the ground and didn't get up, so she asked him, "Why don't you get up?"
"Oh." Li Yuan cried out in pain again, and moved his hand covering his head to his chest, with a bitter face, "The old injury from the last beating has recurred, it must be because of the fall just now. Beauty, please rub it for me~"
In fact, the injury had healed a long time ago.
Xue Wuxi was angry and amused to see him acting so exaggerated.
But Li Yuan was indeed injured for himself.
At that time, she was only angry and sad, so she only left a bottle of medicine for Li Yuan and left, without thinking about seeing how the other party was injured.
Moreover, Xue Wuxi has always had a big problem, that is, he can't stand seeing people in pity.
So he had no choice but to squat down, put his palm gently on Li Yuan's chest and rubbed it, and said in a cold but soft voice: "Are you feeling better?"
Because the two were very close, Li Yuan saw the right opportunity and suddenly attacked, kissing Xue Wuxi on the side of his face.
Xue Wuxi, who was kissed by force, did not react at all.
Because he knew Li Yuan's purpose from the moment he squatted down.
He just wanted to take advantage.
But he still warned him: "Don't make an exception next time."
Li Yuan suddenly felt that Xue Wuxi's white pupils were particularly beautiful after being stained with the blood color of the sunset, more beautiful than anything before.
It seemed that the last time the two of them sat together facing the sunset and talked to each other.
But this time, Xue Wuxi hid the frost pattern on his forehead.
Or maybe he didn't hide it on purpose. It should be that the upper realm refused to accept him as an immortal, so they stripped him of the mark on his forehead that symbolized his place in the immortal list.
"Do you regret it?" Li Yuan suddenly became serious. "I mean, giving up the person you have been thinking about for five hundred years."
"How do you know I gave up?"
"Otherwise, why would you agree to reconcile with Gui Tong?"
"I just don't want to embarrass my master..."
"Then why didn't you think so when you were in Suixing Mountain? I advised you at that time."
Xue Wuxi didn't answer, but sat down with Li Yuan.
The two of them sat side by side as they did then.
Xue Wuxi looked down at the ground and said with a heavy heart: "Sometimes you can't win the fight... so why not just let it go."
"I used to be unwilling to lose to Gui Tong, but now I understand Master's intentions, so let it go."
"You should have met Master, is he doing well?" Xue Wuxi was still obsessed with this question.
Li Yuan said: "Since you have let it go, don't ask anymore."
"That's right." Xue Wuxi stopped asking.
But when he stopped asking, Li Yuan told him the answer: "He is doing well, you can see that he is very happy."
"I am not biased towards Gui Tong, I am just stating the objective facts I have seen."
Xue Wuxi actually already had the answer in his heart.
But as Li Yuan said, since you have let it go, don't ask anything about the other party.
He added: "I never thought that Guitong would let go of his hatred for the master so quickly. A man like him would actually put feelings first."
"Hey, you don't understand him." Li Yuan vowed: "Although he is bloodthirsty and has a strong personality, he values feelings. Otherwise, I wouldn't have followed him for five hundred years."
"Value feelings?" Xue Wuxi became more and more unconvinced, and said coldly: "The Blood Cloud Sect is completely gone."
"That's because they were disobedient in the first place, so who can blame my Lord?"
Anyway, the two of them reconciled, Li Yuan was not afraid of offending Xue Wuxi at this moment, and began to protect him: "Don't mention the Blood Cloud Sect, even the right protector was disobedient and attacked the Immortal Sect privately, and he almost killed him."
"Besides, isn't he also indirectly avenging your sect's disciples? Even if his original intention was not that, the end result is also for your good, isn't it?"
Xue Wuxi didn't want to refute, because he saw that Li Yuan was protecting him.
For some reason, Xue Wuxi started to bring up the past again: "You are all the same, you only favor Guitong."
"You said you would stand on my side, but you were just being nice."
Li Yuan suddenly felt uncomfortable with Xue Wuxi's drastic change in personality...
Is this tone complaining? Or... acting coquettish?
He really still cares that I am not on his side...
Li Yuan suddenly understood.
Xue Wuxi is not cold at all.
On the contrary, he has a passionate heart.
After all, Li Yuan also understood that no matter how he explained, he was the one who broke his promise first.
"Okay..." Li Yuan could only coax her in a weak tone: "It's all my fault. You can beat me, scold me, and punish me. Is that okay?"
Xue Wuxi thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Come back to Wuji Sect with me."
"Oh, let's go back." Li Yuan didn't react much to this request.
"Come to Wuji Sect and be my disciple."
Li Yuan was no longer calm.
He looked at Xue Wuxi in surprise, "Are you serious? I am a ghost, or a demon cultivator."
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
Li Yuan shook his head, "No. I haven't even stepped on an ant to death."
"Then why don't you practice immortal cultivation?"
Li Yuan said helplessly, "I also want to practice immortal cultivation, I wanted to at the beginning, but no immortal sect wanted me, they disliked me because I am a ghost."
"But you have half human blood." Xue Wuxi reminded him.
"You know all this?"
"I've known it for a long time." Xue Wuxi continued: "The ghost aura on you is very light, and the human aura is very strong."
"Yes, I also think I look more like a human." Li Yuan pointed to his own eyes, "You see, I don't even have the red pupils unique to the ghost clan. My eyes are normal in color."
"On the contrary, you, your hair and eyes are white, you can't be... not a human?"
"Maybe." Xue Wuxi looked at Yu Hui and said lightly: "Maybe I really am not a human... After all, I have no parents since I can remember."
Jumping off the topic, Xue Wuxi asked Li Yuan again: "Are you willing or not? This is your last chance."
"Yes, I am." Li Yuan answered without hesitation: "Of course I am willing to accept the invitation of a beauty!"
"Then you must abandon all your previous cultivation, worship me as your teacher, and I will teach you to cultivate the way of immortality again."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Li Yuan agreed decisively.
But after he agreed, he thought of something and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Can I ask Gui Tong for his opinion... I'm afraid he'll be angry with me if I suddenly run away with you."
