"Marry me?"
Blue Star gaped in astonishment.
My heart was filled with complex emotions, but also a little bit of sweetness.
Before she could answer, a huge commotion came from outside. Her master had led a group of people in.
"You all, seize him!"
The master, his face contorted with rage, pointed at Gao Changhong and gave instructions to the disciples behind him.
"Yes, Master."
More than a dozen women drew their longswords and attacked Gao Changhong.
"Master!"
Lan Xing was so frightened that she immediately ran over from the bed. She had grown up with her master since she was a child, so she naturally knew that her master's expression was murderous.
"Blue Star, be quiet! Master, we must kill this menace today! He truly has ulterior motives!"
The master said with a cold face.
Just now, she received a message from her subordinates saying that Gao Changhong not only hadn't left, but had been loitering outside for the past few days. He had just kidnapped Zixing and was trying to come in. He originally wanted to steal their sect's treasures, but Zixing refused to yield, so he used Zixing as a hostage to deceive Lanxing.
This man absolutely cannot be allowed to live!
Gao Changhong was surrounded by a dozen or so women with good kung fu skills, while Zi Xing had already escaped his control and joined the battle.
Even though he was skilled in martial arts, he was still vulnerable to being attacked by dozens of women, all of whom were capable of poisoning him. He couldn't defend against everything.
Soon, he was poisoned by them and captured.
"Master, there must be some misunderstanding. Please don't kill him!"
Lan Xing lunged in front of Gao Changhong, reaching out to block the sword her master was about to use to stab Gao Changhong.
She had already promised her master that she would not see him again, so why wouldn't her master let him go?
"Blue Star, I'm sorry, I'm useless, I couldn't save you."
Looking at Lan Xing protecting him, Gao Changhong felt a pang of guilt, but also a deep sense of gratitude.
This was the first time in over a decade that a woman had defended him like this.
"Blue Star, get out of my way!"
Her master yelled at her, looking at her with disappointment and frustration.
"No! Master, I've already promised you I wouldn't associate with him anymore, can't you just let him go? If you're going to kill him, then kill me first today!"
Lan Xing stubbornly raised his head and looked at his master.
She could choose not to be with Gao Changhong, and she could give up love for the sake of her sect, but she absolutely could not watch Gao Changhong die here.
"Are you really going to do this for a man?"
The master said sadly, his face full of disappointment.
Lanxing was also saddened to see her master's disappointed expression, but she still stubbornly nodded.
"well......"
The master gave a few bitter laughs in exasperation.
She hesitated for a long time before saying, "Master can grant your request, but you must agree to one condition!"
"What are the conditions?"
"You will give birth to a daughter in Xinglan and give her to me. She will stay in Xinglan, and then you will leave the sect and never be allowed to return!"
"Why, Master?"
Blue Star couldn't understand it.
"There's no reason why. Just tell me if you agree or not! If you don't agree, then either he or Master will die!"
"I promise, I promise!"
Lan Xing was still hesitant, but after hearing her master's next words, she had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
However, a hint of resentment and doubt flashed in Zi Xing's eyes.
Why did Master make such a request?
"Master, are you forcing them to get married? The sect doesn't forbid it—"
Just as Zi Xing was about to voice her doubts, her master interrupted her coldly.
"She left the sect after giving birth, so she no longer had to abide by the sect's rules."
"Should all those sect-related items she has be returned as well?"
"Zixing, you're asking too many questions."
Her master gave her a warning look, and Zi Xing pursed her lips, saying nothing more.
*
In the days that followed, Lan Xing and Gao Changhong were left inside Xinglan.
The two had no wedding, no ceremony, and were simply locked in a stone cave courtyard. Their master was waiting for them to give birth to their daughter before letting them go.
"Blue Star, don't worry, after you come with me, I will give you a separate wedding banquet and bring you home in a grand procession. As for our child, I won't leave her here forever."
"Once I get out, I will definitely bring people back and take our child back!"
Gao Changhong gently stroked Lan Xing's increasingly round belly and said softly.
At this time, Lanxing was already four months pregnant.
The two were deeply in love and their affection was as strong as the sea. Although Lan Xing felt guilty towards her master, she was determined to leave with Gao Changhong.
Although she was reluctant to leave the sect where she grew up, love was now just as important to her.
Gao Changhong endured humiliation and hardship, thinking that after taking Lan Xing out and becoming stronger, he would come back and snatch his child away.
But what they didn't expect was that Xinglan would encounter another change before the child was even born.
"Senior sisters, you must leave quickly! Master told me to let you go!"
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening came from the gate, and then Yu Zhu, the personal disciple who usually took care of his master's daily life, hurriedly ran over.
"What happened? Why did you suddenly make this decision, Master? My child is still a few months away from being born."
Seeing Yu Zhu's flustered expression, Lan Xing felt a bad premonition for no reason.
"I don't have time to tell you anymore. If you don't leave now, Senior Sister Zixing will kill you. Master told me to send you away quickly. You can take this with you too. If you want to know, read the letter Master wrote to you after you escape!"
Yu Zhu looked anxious. After handing her the box her master had prepared, she quickly urged Lan Xing and the others to hurry up.
Lan Xing wanted to ask something more, but Gao Changhong pulled her back. "Lan Xing, let's go first. That Zi Xing is not a kind person. Your master must have his reasons for doing this."
Let's get out of here first, we can talk about the rest later. You need to think about the baby in your belly!
Gao Changhong felt this was a good opportunity to escape, and he didn't want to miss it, so he persuaded Lan Xing to leave with him.
Led by Yu Zhu, the two escaped through a side path.
After escaping Xinglan, Gao Changhong quickly contacted his subordinates and led Lan Xing towards the Northern Desert.
Meanwhile, inside Xinglan.
"Master, you've already handed over the position of sect leader to me, so why didn't you let me keep those things? Did you make Lan Xing give birth to an illegitimate child so that you could give those things to her child?"
Zi Xing held a sharp dagger to her master's neck.
The master couldn't speak, he could only glare fiercely at Zixing.
This disciple, whom I once admired, turned out to be wicked and committed such a rebellious act!
"Hand it over! Where did you hide it?"
Seeing that his master did not react, Zi Xing roared again.
