Chapter 91: Changes: I can only see the good in my disciple.
Mu Fuyun couldn't imagine how one person could suppress the spiritual veins of the entire sect, and she also knew that Xie Hanyi would definitely not tell her such a secret.
When she was in Yuya Mountain, she had refined several rare magical instruments and repaired some ancient treasures. Many of them were used by powerful people of the time to suppress evil spirits. I wonder if Xie Hanyi was the same.
But no matter what method he used, if he wanted to suppress the spiritual vein, he had to stay there all year round and not leave.
"That's why Master always wants to stay in Lingshanze and the sect... Last time, because of my matter, Master personally rushed to the Western Desert..."
It turned out that it was not the accident he encountered in the Xisha polar region that put him in crisis and in an urgent situation, but that his life was doomed to be in danger from the moment he left the sect.
No wonder the leader Qi Yuanbai said that to her at that time.
"Master, I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
Thinking about the last time when he was extremely cold and hot and unconscious, all because he heard that she was kidnapped by Cang Yan, she was moved and remorseful. A feeling of bitterness filled her chest, surging up and making her eyes red.
But he was born stubborn. Knowing that it was his fault, he didn't want to appear too weak. He just tried his best to purse his lips and maintain his expression.
This look is inexplicably endearing.
Xie Hanyi felt so soft-hearted when he saw this that he couldn't help but sigh. He reached out and gently touched the tip of her nose which was a little red from holding it in.
"You're right. You don't have to apologize for everything. I didn't accept you as my disciple just to let you suffer any injustice."
The tip of her nose was smooth and a little damp, and the touch when her fingertips brushed across it was surprisingly good. The warm breath in her nose quietly lingered from the fingertips, passed around the knuckles, slid across the palm, and drilled into the wrist, like an invisible attraction, making him reluctant to leave. He then brushed it along her cheek to the side, lingered by her ears, and gently stroked the hair at her temples.
Mu Fuyun raised her red eyes and looked at him moistly. With mixed feelings, she couldn't hide her dependence and reluctance to let go.
Now she knew that his fame from his sword seemed so glorious, and he became the object of admiration, envy, and amazement for everyone in the world, but in fact, he had tied his fate to that of the entire Tianyan.
No wonder he stayed alone in Lingshanze since then.
It’s not that I don’t want to leave, but that I can’t leave.
He could have ignored her and continued to live his solitary life as before, but she ruined everything.
"Master, you don't have to be so nice to me. I, I feel unworthy."
Whether in her previous life or since she came here, no one except Xie Hanyi had ever been so kind to her. The more unconditionally good he was to her, the more she felt she was unworthy.
Everything she had in the past was won by her own ability. Even standing on the top of the mountain, she did not feel guilty. Only Xie Hanyi reached out to her and chose to believe in her completely when she was misunderstood and despised by everyone.
She had never been used to it, and didn't know how to deal with such sincere kindness except to make herself stronger.
Xie Hanyi looked at her with her head down and her depressed mood, sighed softly, and moved the palm of his hand covering her cheek, stroking it gently.
The palm that had always been cold had become hot at some point, covering her skin, as if it could dispel the cold white mist lingering around.
Because he had been holding the sword for many years, there were thin calluses on his fingertips and the edges of his palms. As he rubbed her neck, he brought up a patch of fine particles on the back of her neck.
"Don't underestimate yourself. In Master's eyes, he only sees the best in me."
Mu Fuyun's heart trembled when he heard this. The emotions that he had been suppressing showed signs of breaking down. He couldn't help himself for a moment, so he stretched out his arms, hugged his waist, and buried his cheek in his arms.
With the small lamp there, his robe was not frosted by frost or snow. Although it was cold, it was dry and smelled of a crisp and clean scent, which made people feel refreshed and couldn't help but indulge in it.
Mu Fuyun recalled the night in the Xisha polar region.
The Hehuan Sect's secret method was acting up in her body, and without the cold pond, she couldn't get relief. She could only lean on her master's arms and let him regulate her breathing to ease the pain.
At that time, she was dazed and couldn't remember the feeling of nestling in his arms. Now, she finally felt it clearly.
"Well, you're becoming more and more like a child."
Xie Hanyi stretched out his arms and wrapped them around her body as if comforting a child, patting her back gently with helplessness.
The words and actions were natural, and at first, there was nothing unusual.
After a while, they both began to feel something was wrong.
The places that were touched through the clothes began to feel numb and hot, and the whole body gradually became tense.
This is not the atmosphere that should exist between a master and a disciple.
The two fell into a long silence.
"It's getting late. It's time for me to go into the cave."
It was Xie Hanyi who broke the silence first and released his hand from her lower back.
"Previously, many spiritual veins across the continent were experiencing unusual movements, causing the Tianyan spiritual vein to become unstable. Furthermore, the Dharma Assembly is approaching. Besides the disciples of the three major sects, disciples from other sects, both large and small, and independent cultivators will also gather in Tianyan. The spiritual energy will fluctuate, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes."
Although Mu Fuyun was reluctant, he knew that he shouldn't continue like this. He quickly stepped aside and stood aside, saying respectfully, "Disciple understands. I dare not delay Master's retreat. I only hope that Master will be well in the days to come."
Xie Hanyi nodded and said nothing more. As she watched him leave, he turned and entered the cave.
The door that usually opened halfway for her slowly closed in front of her, leaving no gap at all.
What was left at the end was the same peaceful atmosphere between master and apprentice as before.
However, Mu Fuyun had clearly sensed in his heart that something was quietly changing.
…
In the next few days, everyone in Tianyan was looking forward to the arrival of the Dharma Assembly.
As one of the immortal sects that everyone admires, everyone in Tianyan is extremely excited.
Except for a small number of disciples like Zhan Yao and Mu Fuyun who were going to participate in the competition, the other disciples did not slack off and practiced sword skills more and more vigorously.
It's not for any other reason, but because according to past experience, in addition to the formal competition, the elders of the three major sects will also temporarily let their disciples compete on the trial platform.
After all, Tianyan is an immortal sect that is admired by the world. From the leader and elders to the ordinary disciples, everyone is more or less reserved and proud. They will not allow themselves to lose face when facing opponents from other sects.
In addition to sword practice and competitions, the disciples from each peak were also busy revamping the scenery and houses at the request of the elders.
Unlike the grandeur and extravagance of the Wuding Sect and the vast expanse of the Taixu Sect, Tianyan was renowned for its simplicity and plainness. To put it mildly, it was a place suitable for cultivators to cultivate and refine their Daoist aspirations, but in the eyes of some, it represented weakness.
The disciples of Tianyan would not be so self-deprecating, but they could not show any weakness in the Dharma Assembly held in their own sect only every ten years or so.
In the entire sect, there is only Mu Fuyun, so he doesn’t have to worry about anything - Lingshanze will not be open to anyone.
She was completely focused, practicing swordplay from morning till night, seemingly putting all her energy into the upcoming Dharma Assembly, which was not much different from the past.
However, every night when she returned home and passed by Xie Hanyi's house, she no longer saw the open door and the dim light, which made her feel empty in her heart.
It turned out that she had become so dependent on him without realizing it.
The days passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was two days before the Dharma Assembly officially began.
In the past two days, monks from various sects have come to Tianyan from all over the place. Every day from early morning before dawn to night when the moon is at its zenith, you can see groups of monks coming to the foot of the mountain, coming and going without stopping.
Among them, there were no people from Taixu Sect and Wuding Sect.
Unlike other sects, these two major sects not only arrived last, but also required most of Tianyan’s disciples to be waiting at the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain to greet them.
"I heard from Senior Sister Yun Ni that the Wuding Sect's leader, Liang Daoheng, has always been fond of luxury and wealth. Whenever he and his disciples travel together, they always use the flying boat 'Yun Zhui Yue,' which is considered the 'best in the world.'" At the foot of the mountain, Hong Ying, Mu Fuyun, and others stood together, whispering about the gossip they had heard in the past few days. "The 'Yun Zhui Yue' burns thousands of high-grade spirit stones for every mile it travels!"
"Oh my goodness, this is even more powerful than a gold-eating beast!" Xiao Yan patted his chest and echoed Hong Ying's words, "Is the sword-controlling not good enough? You have to go through so much trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, in the endless blue sky, a huge, golden and magnificent flying boat suddenly parted the high clouds and appeared before everyone's eyes.
