Chapter 69: Meeting Sister, I'm sorry for asking you to do this for me. ...
For several days, Mu Fuyue stayed in the back hall, but did not see any other action from Chu Ye and Song Xinghe.
He neither told her what to do next to return to her former state, nor brought Mu Fuyun to meet her.
Although the two of them came every day and asked about her well-being, as long as she didn't mention it, they would tacitly keep silent.
Sometimes, Mu Fuyue would mention her sister inadvertently.
Chu Ye was more thoughtful and could always smooth things over without leaving any trace. Song Xinghe was not as thorough as him and on one or two occasions he accidentally said a few extra words.
However, he was not a man who spoke without restraint. He was very measured from beginning to end. As for Mu Fuyun, he only said a few words about how she was kidnapped by Cang Yan and then rescued by the sect.
Mu Fuyue felt extremely guilty. Firstly, she felt guilty for causing her sister to suffer innocently, and secondly, she felt guilty for making Cang Yan sad and upset over her death in the past two years.
Song Xinghe felt very uncomfortable.
He didn't want to see his senior sister divide her attention between them. It had already taken him so many years to finally come to terms with Chu Ye, and he simply couldn't reconcile himself to Cang Yan, who was more powerful than any of them.
However, perhaps because he had matured in the past two years, even though he was unhappy, he would no longer lose his temper and explode on the spot like he did in the past.
More than that, I just feel lost and bitter.
Of course, he still had some inexplicable hostility towards Cang Yan, which was due to the kidnapping of Mu Fuyun not long ago.
A few days passed and everything seemed calm.
Until the half-month period was up, Mu Fuyun had to offer his own blood to Mu Fuyue as agreed.
Although Mu Fuyun would not come to the back hall in person in the past, Mu Fuyue is now conscious and can transform into a human form for a while every day. He must have been looking forward to seeing his sister in person.
Since the day he saw Mu Fuyue again, Chu Ye had expected this day to come.
However, when facing Mu Fuyu, he always felt like there was something stuck in his throat and didn't know how to start. It was not until this day, after he helped her clear the meridians in Xizhao Pavilion, that he had to tell her about Mu Fuyue's transformation.
"Yue'er cares about you very much and wants to see you too." He stopped Mu Fuyun from pricking his fingertip to let out blood as he had done before. "Go see her later."
After saying that, he waited anxiously for Mu Fuyun's answer.
Based on his understanding of Mu Fuyun, he was afraid that she would not agree easily, and would always say some cold and blunt words to prick him and make him feel insulted.
This was the first time he sincerely hoped that Mu Fuyun would respond in this way so that the guilt in his heart would be alleviated.
But Mu Fuyun didn't let him get his wish.
She was not surprised at all. Calculating the time, according to the description in the original book, Mu Fuyue should indeed have been awakened.
Although many things have long deviated from the trajectory of the original book, she has never forgotten her ultimate goal of leaving this small world.
If Mu Fuyue had not been awakened, she would have become suspicious.
"Okay." She nodded and agreed naturally. "I should go and take a look. After all, I have contributed a lot to this."
She caught a glimpse of Chu Ye's strange expression from the corner of her eye. She raised an eyebrow and quickly guessed what he was thinking. She couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth, as if mocking him, and said, "Why, Senior Brother doesn't want me to go?"
Chu Ye looked away stiffly, pretending to be calm and said, "You think too much."
Mu Fuyun was too lazy to deal with him. While the heat in his body had not yet completely erupted, he hurried to Shanmingju and soaked in the cold pool.
After knowing that the lake in Lingshanze was the source of this cold pond, she also thought that there was no need to use the cold pond in Shanmingju anymore.
But Xie Hanyi told her that the spiritual energy in that lake was too rich. Firstly, she might not be able to bear it. Secondly, there was the sect's spiritual vein underneath. If an unfamiliar aura sneaked into the lake, it might cause unusual movements.
She had no choice but to continue using the cold pond in Shanmingju.
Xie Hanyi naturally didn't know about the entanglement between her and her fellow apprentices Chu Ye and Song Xinghe, and she didn't want him to know about these things.
Perhaps it was because she was about to go to the back hall to meet Mu Fuyue, Song Xinghe was unusually silent today. From beginning to end, he just looked at her from the side, wanted to say something several times but stopped himself, and in the end said nothing.
Mu Fuyun was happy and at ease. After the heat wave had completely passed, he stood up, straightened his Taoist robe, turned around and left, heading straight for the back hall.
…
In the back hall, Mu Fuyue had just transformed from the lotus lantern and her whole body was suspended in the air beside the table. Her gentle eyes looked at Chu Ye, whose face was a little pale, with heartache.
"Big Brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad? Did something about me make you feel embarrassed?"
Chu Ye shook his head, smiled at her, and comforted her: "No, I just used too much spiritual energy just now, and I'm a little tired. I'll be fine after taking two Gu Yuan Dan later."
He had just expended a considerable amount of spiritual energy in clearing Mu Fuyun's meridians. She was clearly only in the middle stage of foundation building, with only faint signs of advancing to the late stage, but for some reason, each time he cleared her meridians, it became more and more strenuous for him.
Then, he used the soul-nourishing technique to infuse spiritual power into Mu Fuyue's lotus lantern, and only then did his face turn a little paler.
"Yue'er, Mu Fuyu, your sister, will come here to see you in a while." He said with a restrained expression.
Mu Fuyue's eyes trembled, and she said softly, "Thank you, Senior Brother. Does she... hate me very much?"
Chu Ye looked at her anxious and apologetic expression, frowned slightly, and subconsciously wanted to comfort her.
However, before he could say anything, a clear voice came from outside the door.
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Mu Fuyun strode into the back hall, his posture upright. Although his aura was not fierce and his face was a little pale, he had an unusually neat and unrestrained look. "When did I ever say I hated you?"
Mu Fuyue was stunned, looking at the woman in front of her who looked the same as before but had a strange temperament all over her body, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
She did not answer immediately, but looked him up and down carefully, as if trying to confirm who this person was.
After a moment, he smiled awkwardly and said in an awkward yet flattering tone, "No, Yun'er, I don't mean anything else. I just remember when we were little, because I was always in poor health, my parents would occasionally take extra care of me, which sometimes made you unhappy... Over the years, you have been reluctant to contact me, and I thought..."
As she spoke, she lifted her eyelids and took a peek, then suddenly laughed: "Since there isn't any, that's all the better."
Mu Fuyun looked at this sister whom he had never met before, and for a moment he admired her a little.
With just a few words, she turned her sister into a narrow-minded villain who disregarded family affection.
In this case, it is not surprising that they all looked upon her so badly when she first came to Tianyan. It must have something to do with Mu Fuyue.
"You're worrying too much, sister." She shrugged nonchalantly and said frankly, "I have no reason to hate you. On the contrary, I should thank you."
Mu Fuyue's expression faltered, and he looked at her hesitantly: "What...does this mean?"
Mu Fuyun said, "It means exactly what it says. If it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't be living such a good life now, Big Brother, don't you agree?"
Chu Ye frowned and warned her with his eyes to be careful.
Mu Fuyun curled his lips and ignored him.
Mu Fuyue, on the other hand, was surprised when she heard her say "I'm doing well." She seemed unsure whether to believe it or not, so she said anxiously, "I'm relieved that you're doing well. I originally asked my senior brother to bring you back to the sect because I hoped you would be well in the future..."
Mu Fuyun didn't comment, and didn't want to waste words here: "We've already met, let's get down to business."
She took two steps closer, and in front of Mu Fuyue, she pierced the tip of her index finger, squeezed it hard, and waited for the blood to flow out and drip into the wick of the lotus lamp.
Wisps of green smoke emerged from the wick, as if they had life, twisting and turning in the air, and finally gathered together, enveloping Mu Fuyue's figure, gradually merging with her.
Mu Fuyue felt the fusion of soul and blood. There was a burning, tearing, and forced sticking pain, which stimulated her so much that she couldn't help but frown and reveal a painful expression.
Even so, she did not forget to open her watery eyes and apologize to Mu Fuyun.
"Sister, I'm sorry for making you do this for me."
If it were the original Mu Fuyun, he would definitely be angered by her words.
However, Mu Fuyun doesn’t do that now.
She took a step closer, looked her sister in the eye, and said calmly, "It's okay, sister. I can only be comforted if you get better soon."
These words were even more sincere and touching than those spoken by her sister.
