Chapter 115 Do you regret waking up?
The sky was dim with light, and along the long, slightly undulating horizon, it was like a piece of tie-dyed silk being lifted up little by little by an invisible hand.
Lingshanze, covered with ice and snow all year round, is still cold, but under this faint light, it appears particularly gentle.
In the lake, the two figures entangled like water plants were still overlapping, and seemed to be awakened by the bright light and moved slightly.
The dreamlike feeling lasted the entire night and finally became clear at this moment.
The paradise before my eyes disappeared, and the familiar Lingshanze returned.
Xie Hanyi opened his eyes and was stunned for a long time before he slowly came to his senses and realized that the warm and soft body in his arms was his disciple.
"No!" He subconsciously pushed Mu Fuyun, wanting her to quickly leave the cold lake. "You shouldn't be here!"
"Hmm?" Mu Fuyun was pushed awake from his embrace. He opened his hazy eyes and looked up at him dazedly. "Master?"
After a brief moment of surprise, everything that happened yesterday suddenly flooded into my mind like a tide.
In this lake, he couldn't bear the blockage and dilation of his meridians caused by the abnormal movement of his spiritual veins. His strength and blood were boiling with nowhere to vent. He originally wanted to ask Mu Fuyun to go to the private store to get the Lengshuang Pills, but...
He was in a trance for a moment.
He remembered that she had indeed entered the cave, but when she returned, she did not bring the Lengshuang Pills with her. Instead, she stepped directly into the lake and sat opposite him. They just hugged each other, their palms connected...
That is the fusion of souls between monks. It does not have to be like that between mortals, but it can achieve a more intimate and pleasant feeling than that between mortals.
The most important thing is that cultivators can often use this method to refine the spiritual power that does not belong to them in their bodies, in order to achieve the purpose of consolidating their realm and improving their cultivation. This is what people often call "dual cultivation."
Xie Hanyi couldn't believe it for a moment. He actually did such a thing with his own disciple...
A shameful sense of guilt and regret welled up in his heart, and he even dared not look Mu Fuyun in the eye.
This is the first time in all the years since I grew up that I feel so overwhelmed.
However, running away afterward has never been his way of dealing with things. Moreover, he cares more about Mu Fuyun's condition than his own guilt and regret.
"Are you... okay?"
He cleared his throat, supported her with one hand, stood up from the lake, tried his best to stay calm, and asked.
Because he always carried the lampstand she made with him, neither of them was wet by the lake water. When they walked out of the lake and returned to the shore, they were still dry, but their hair was messy and their clothes were untidy after a night of caressing.
He didn't dare look directly at Mu Fuyun, and Mu Fuyun didn't dare look up at him.
At this time, I was completely calm and could feel the coldness of the lake water. I had already reached the shore and found that my clothes were loose, revealing a large area of skin under my neck. I quickly turned around and straightened my clothes.
"I'm fine. After all, I've been in the Hehuan Sect for a few years and have a special physique. Master, don't worry."
Xie Hanyi's face turned red. He was still worried after hearing her say that. After all, his cultivation was very high, and the force accumulated in his body was the impact force from the entire spiritual vein. He had suppressed it for so long with the Lotus Cold Frost Pills, and it suddenly broke out. It was rare that his meridians were intact, and he didn't know if she was hurt.
With a tense expression, he put his hand on her wrist and checked her pulse. Seeing that it was stable and there was nothing wrong, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the skin between his fingers was extremely soft and delicate, like silk, with a unique touch. He was reluctant to use force, and at the same time, he began to have the illusion that his fingertips were hot.
The skin that touched was barely an inch, but it made both of them tense up.
"I'm glad you're okay."
Xie Hanyi quickly withdrew his hand, turned slightly, faced her sideways, and said in a deep voice.
Mu Fuyun looked up quietly, looking at his profile which seemed a little indifferent and a little angry. Her heart sank a little, and she felt a rare sense of self-blame that made her feel overwhelmed.
"I'm sorry, Master. What happened yesterday was my own decision. I, I didn't mean any other things. I just didn't want to see you so sad..."
She didn't know why Xie Hanyi was angry, and subconsciously thought that it was her own self-assertion that disappointed him.
Monks are different from ordinary people. Most of them do not have much obsession with the so-called "physical chastity", but they attach great importance to things that truly belong to the monks, such as the soul, spiritual palace, etc.
Many cultivators, especially the powerful ones, do not like others to arbitrarily enter their territory.
Even though she and Xie Hanyi were master and disciple, they should not cross this line.
What's more, this level of intimacy is only possible between Taoist partners.
As a disciple, acting in this way is an act of usurpation.
When she saw him yesterday, in a state of confusion and insufferable state, she was so confused that she didn't think too much and just acted on instinct.
Thinking about it now, I feel guilty.
Xie Hanyi felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard the frustration and disappointment in her voice. He turned around and restrainedly extended his hand, gently covering her shoulder. He softened his tone and said, "You shouldn't be the one saying sorry. It should be me. As a teacher, I actually—"
He was unable to utter the following words, and his regret was evident in his words.
"I'm sorry, Fuyun, this is not your fault. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have treated you like that."
For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence, both feeling unable to face everything.
The earthquake that started yesterday has not completely stopped yet, and there are still occasional tremors coming from under my feet, but compared with the violent earthquake yesterday, it seems very mild.
Although Xie Hanyi's condition had been greatly relieved after last night's detoxification, the turmoil in his spiritual veins had not ended, and soon a part of the power that had nowhere to go accumulated in his body again.
Mu Fuyun noticed the subtle change in his expression, lowered his head, and said softly, "Master has not recovered yet, so you should return to the cave to recuperate."
She said, turning around and trying to leave.
Xie Hanyi felt a sense of nervousness in his heart for no reason. He didn't want to see her leave, so he subconsciously called out to her.
"Do you regret it?"
Mu Fuyun paused, and stood there for a moment, without looking back, and replied softly: "No regrets."
She felt guilty, self-blame, and loss, but she had no regrets. Master was the best person in the world to her, and she would cherish him as much as she cherished herself.
I just don’t know if Xie Hanyi will stay away from her from now on.
"Master, what about you?"
She still didn't turn around, just stood there quietly, waiting for his answer.
Xie Hanyi was silent for a moment, as if struggling and hesitating. After a long while, he slowly said, "I have some regrets."
Mu Fuyun was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes, said "oh" softly, and said nothing.
"I regret not being able to control myself and offending you." Xie Hanyi took a step forward and stopped just half a step away from her. The morning light shone from behind him, illuminating his figure and completely enveloping her. "But I'm not a competent master either. Besides regret, I also feel shameful joy. I'm sorry."
These were his true feelings, words he absolutely could not utter when facing her bright eyes. Fortunately, when she asked them, she did not turn around and stare at him directly.
He didn't know if, besides love and admiration, he felt any other inexplicable feelings for this disciple. After so many years of solitude, he had forgotten what ordinary human emotions were like.
But no matter what, he knew that he didn't want to see her away from him at all.
…
At the foot of the mountain, where the teleportation array was located, Elder Chang and others hurried back with Qi Yuanbai.
Jiang Hanqiu and his disciples were guarding outside the Guizang Palace. When they saw them returning on flying swords, they all went to check on the situation.
"What happened to Master Brother?" Jiang Hanqiu was shocked to see Qi Yuanbai with a grim face and unconscious.
"Under the spiritual vein, the remnant soul of the suppressed demon Kun Sheyang escaped and caused trouble to the area. In order to get rid of the demon, the leader risked his life and fought with him. He succeeded, but he was also shocked and urgently needed to come back to heal his wounds." Elder Chang said with a serious expression.
When they heard the words "Kun Sheyang" and "gamble their lives", everyone couldn't help but get nervous. The disciples who had returned with them hurriedly told everyone what had happened.
In addition to worrying about the leader, everyone was also worried about the spiritual vein in the westernmost desert that had dried up and collapsed.
"I've already sent letters to the Taixu Sect and the Wuding Sect, asking them to protect their spiritual veins and place more seals to stabilize the terrain." Elder Qin said with a gloomy expression, "However, the spiritual veins in the Western Desert cannot be controlled by the Demon Lord alone. Junior Brother Xie must go there in person."
As he spoke, he looked up at the elders and asked, "Does anyone know how to enter Lingshanze?"
"Lingshanze is a forbidden area. Aside from the Sect Leader and Junior Brother Xie, no one else is allowed to enter," Jiang Hanqiu said with a frown. "Besides, Junior Brother Xie has been in seclusion lately and shouldn't be disturbed. Why don't we go there together and then create a few seals beneath the spirit veins? Even if we can delay a little longer, it won't be too late to make a decision once the Sect Leader wakes up."
Elder Qin glanced at the still unconscious Qi Yuanbai and refused without hesitation: "How can you take such a risk? You don't have to say more. The forbidden area and the seclusion are just excuses. Today, even if I have to force my way in, I will enter!"
