Chapter 109: Something Strange Xie Hanyi also felt this strangeness. ...
When the person came closer, Mu Fuyun realized that Xie Hanyi's face looked a little strange.
As usual, there was a kind of cold whiteness that came from being soaked in ice and snow, but in addition to that, there was a strange blush faintly underneath this pale skin, which was not too abrupt, but made people feel the heat seeping out from underneath.
"Master, why did you come out?"
He had agreed to remain in seclusion during the Dharma Assembly, but he suddenly appeared outside the cave at this time. After Mu Fuyun relaxed for a moment, he quickly became nervous and worried again.
Xie Hanyi shook his head and said, "It's okay." He stood in front of her, looked her up and down, then raised his hand and handed her a pill: "You just broke through the realm, it's time to consolidate it."
Mu Fuyun took it without hesitation and put it directly into his mouth.
It is a top-grade elixir specially used to consolidate one's realm. Once taken, one can feel a coolness penetrating into the internal organs, like an invisible hand, gradually smoothing out the original irritability and restlessness.
"Master knows I've broken through," she smiled, raised her head, and met his eyes, feeling both ashamed and grateful. "I'm sorry, about that crystal piece..."
She pulled the crystal piece out from her lapel. As soon as she took it off her neck, the crystal piece made a subtle but crisp cracking sound in her palm. Then, it seemed to lose its spirit and suddenly turned into a pile of fine powder, crystal clear but lifeless.
"Ah, it's all broken..."
Mu Fuyun knew that it was the residual strength after suffering the thunder tribulation. Although it was reasonable, he still felt a little disappointed.
A faint smile flashed across Xie Hanyi's expressionless face, but perhaps due to internal injuries, he frowned quickly and the smile quickly disappeared.
"It's okay. It's just a last layer of armor for you."
As he spoke, he turned and led her into his private vault. He casually picked up a piece of crystal, placed it in his palm, and tapped it lightly with the index finger of his other hand, ready to allocate a trace of spiritual consciousness and inject it into it.
Mu Fuyun reached out without thinking and gently held his slender index finger.
The slightly cool touch was wrapped in her warm palm and soon became warm.
It didn't seem as cold as before.
Mu Fuyun frowned, thinking of the faint fluctuation of Tianyan's spiritual energy, and the strange feeling did not disappear.
She raised her head and met Xie Hanyi's eyes in mid-air: "Master, are you really okay?"
Xie Hanyi paused, looked at her hand that was wrapped around his fingertips, gently pulled out his fingertips, and when she subconsciously felt lost and helpless, he took the initiative, spread her five fingers, let her palm face up, placed the crystal piece on it, and continued to inject a trace of spiritual consciousness.
"There are indeed some changes, but it's not a big deal."
He said lightly, and then held her five fingers together: "Keep it."
Seeing that he had it in his hand, Mu Fuyun did not hesitate and hung it back around his neck. He did not want to get to the bottom of it, but because he was concerned, he asked, "Master, is there something wrong with your spiritual vein?"
Xie Hanyi didn't intend to hide anything completely, but he was used to keeping most things to himself, so he subconsciously kept to himself. When asked, he said, "I'm guarding the Tianyan Spiritual Vein, so the eastern end is naturally fine. However, today, there seems to be some unusual movement elsewhere, and the news reached here, which only had a little force, disturbing my meditation and retreat. Fortunately, it's not serious, and I will be fine after a little rest. However, I still need to report this matter to the head brother, and he will send someone to go."
What he said was not too serious, but when Mu Fuyun thought about it carefully, he realized that there was something wrong.
The unusual movement elsewhere probably refers to the movement in the specific location that Xie Hanyi cannot clearly perceive, and it is obviously not nearby. The unusual movement in the distance still has some force to be transmitted here, which shows how big the movement is.
"My two advancements were also due to the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy. To be honest, this goes against the way of cultivation that should be gradual and steady." Hearing this, she sighed and worried.
Everyone who cultivates has, to a certain degree, entertained the thought of ascending to immortality in one step, but Mu Fuyun never did. Perhaps it was this unique mindset that allowed her cultivation to progress more smoothly than others. Of course, even if it were smooth sailing, it would never be like this, with so many breakthroughs in such a short period of time, sometimes even two levels at a time. Such speed is rare in the world.
However, her concern was more for Xie Hanyi.
She didn't know if it was because she was always like a passer-by in this world, she had never cared much about things related to herself. Instead, Xie Hanyi had unknowingly become the most important person in her heart.
Xie Hanyi smiled, his eyes gentle, and said softly: "I am very pleased that you think this way."
He had been practicing Taoism for many years, and whether in classics or in reality, he had seen many monks who were eager for quick success and instant benefits. They were originally very talented, but later suddenly collapsed. Although they had caused a great sensation, over the long years, they were just like smoke and dust, and soon disappeared and were no longer mentioned.
It is not easy to have such a mentality.
Unconsciously, he felt a great comfort, as if he had found a confidant whom he had not seen for many years. They shared the same interests and he could feel the other person's intentions without having to say too much.
"Advancing too quickly is definitely not a good thing," he said, raising his hand naturally and rubbing the top of her head. There was a touch of intimacy in his gesture. "You have good talent and good understanding. Sooner or later you will become a great person. I have never doubted this."
Mu Fuyun blinked and looked at him, the feeling of reluctance spreading again.
When she first came to this world, she focused on cultivation and only wanted to advance as soon as possible. She always felt that there was an invisible film between herself and everything and everyone in this world. It was very unreal, as if she was just a bystander.
This nonchalant mentality, like that of a passerby, quietly changed after he became master and disciple with Xie Hanyi.
Without Xie Hanyi, who else in this world could treat her so well?
Although she now feels more and more kindness from many fellow disciples, she can never forget the initial unreserved trust and help from Xie Hanyi.
“Master—”
She called out softly, and just as she was about to speak, her eyes suddenly felt sore and she almost cried. She quickly lowered her eyes to hide her loss of composure.
Xie Hanyi's heart ached at her nasal voice, and he subconsciously softened his voice. He touched her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Thinking that she had attended the Dharma Assembly today, he guessed, "Did she get bullied outside?"
He said this in his usual cold tone, but it gave off an inexplicable feeling as if he was going to go directly to Fu Ri Peak to seek justice for her the next moment.
Mu Fuyun couldn't help laughing, the tears in her eyes almost squeezed out, and she quickly shook her head: "No, since I became Master's disciple, no one dares to bully me. I just think it's great to have Master around."
The feeling of having no one guarding Yuya Mountain for many years has been made up.
People are probably like this. She prides herself on being free and easy, but one day she will also crave the tenderness of others.
But there was no turning back. Even if she still missed Xie Hanyi, she had to continue on the path of leaving.
"That's good. I just worry about you sometimes."
Didn't Xie Hanyi feel that her arrival had made the once deserted Lingshan Lake feel warmer and more inviting to him? It was just that he usually spent most of his time in seclusion, so naturally he felt he owed her something.
Mu Fuyun didn't know what was wrong with him. Perhaps it was because he had finally removed a stone from his heart, and the emotions in his heart became rich and surging. He couldn't help but muster up the courage to take a step forward, stretched out his arms to hug Xie Hanyi's waist, and buried his face in his chest.
Taking a deep breath, my heart and eyes were filled with the pure scent of wind and snow from him.
There was also a faint heat underneath, which seemed even stronger than before.
Mu Fuyun frowned, feeling something was wrong, but she didn't let go because she was reluctant to leave his arms.
Xie Hanyi also felt this strangeness, but looking at the head buried in his chest, he was reluctant to push it away ruthlessly. Instead, he placed one hand on her shoulder and gently stroked her hair with the other: "Silly disciple."
When this was said, both of them were stunned.
The voice was hoarse and dry, as if it contained scalding hot sand, making people's backs numb, and the heat suppressed under the ice quickly emanated from under the white Taoist robe like gushing magma.
"Master?"
Mu Fuyun slowly raised his head and looked over in surprise.
