Chapter 104 Answer
"Whether in the past or now, haven't I said it before? I never think you are the one at fault. If anyone is at fault, it is the one who actually did bad things. Rather, we can see this peaceful world again now because you have done a lot."
"..."
“I used to think you had a strange, contradictory mindset, and I still can’t fully understand it now. Just because you survived a disaster, do you feel so guilty?” Jie Zhoujian seemed to realize that his tone was a bit harsh. This was not his intention; he just didn’t want to see that expression on the person in front of him.
After all, whether before or after, Bu Qingjue or his master always had that confident demeanor, which was what attracted him the most.
This timid and hesitant waiting for criticism is nothing like him.
Jie Zhoujian lowered his tone: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scold you. Although I thought of many things, I still sincerely acknowledge and respect you as my master." Jie Zhoujian continued, "I know that it is precisely because of your high sense of morality that you are like this. Of course, it is also possible that we have indeed left a deep impression on you, which is different from your previous experience, so you are unwilling to end it like this."
“During the daytime, we believe that Master is Master, and there is no need for Master to admit mistakes. This is not taking advantage of you. We call you Master willingly, not because we were forced by anyone. You may not have known martial arts or magic before, but you have learned these through your own efforts. You deserve all of this because we have done so much and are worthy of this title.”
"So you don't need to blame yourself anymore. Bu Qingjue is a mortal, and Master Qingjue is not an immortal either. At least to me, they are the same. And I am very happy, really happy."
"Welcome back, Qingjue."
"..."
The guy had said everything in one go, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
Finally, he only asked, "How did you come up with the name 'Floating Mist'?"
"You saved my life, it's that simple."
Qingjue lowered his head, lost in thought: "..."
"And that's one of the reasons I like you."
"!" Qingjue looked up again, stunned by his direct attack: "You...! No matter what, in the eyes of the world I am your master, how could you say such a thing so blatantly, you you you... you really are...!"
"Actually, I didn't originally intend to hide it. You're just too dense. Now that I know about those things, I feel there's no need to hide them anymore."
The sound of the candle burning lingered in my ears.
Why?
Maybe it's because I've died once.
You might have seen this person's final breakdown.
Perhaps my life was restarted twice because of this person.
Qingjue blushed and slumped onto the table, her mind flashing through many images from before and after.
My mind is a mess.
Honestly, if it weren't for the master-disciple relationship, it would have been hard for him not to be tempted.
Finally, before Jie Zhoujian died, he spoke ambiguously, and Qing Jue presumptuously thought he understood, but in fact he only half understood.
He was a little confused when he was actually confessed to.
The feeling of my heart pounding, the feeling of my face turning red, the feeling of letting out a sigh of relief followed by a moment of relief.
What on earth is going on?
If Jie Zhoujian were replaced by anyone else, including Qinghuan, he would probably be terrified.
But Jie Zhoujian spoke with such ease, and only Jie Zhoujian could speak with such ease.
Looking back, he didn't seem to feel that much grief after killing Jie Zhoujian.
Why? Is it because he doesn't love you enough?
No, Qingjue thinks that's not right either.
He was in pain, that's true, but more than the pain, Jie Zhoujian's words were encouraging him to keep going.
It was the last piece of wood that supported him.
So he quickly lost the ability to feel pain.
Just as Hae Joo-geum trusted him, he trusted the self that Hae Joo-geum believed in.
After holding it in for a long time, Qingjue finally managed to say, "...Maybe you don't love me that much."
"Here in the daytime, love is only divided into existence and non-existence, not into importance."
"...I need to think about it carefully."
“It’s okay,” Xie Zhoujian said with a very calm and even more relaxed and confident expression than before. “It wasn’t my intention to ask you to agree anyway. You don’t need to feel pressured. After all, even I need two more days to process those memories.”
"...I'm not like your master anymore, but you're like you used to be."
"You are welcome to switch between these two identities anytime; I like them both."
"...Hey, stop talking and it's affecting my judgment!"
Jie shut up as instructed during the day.
A few days later, Beishan and Qianlun were relatively stable, and all forces learned of the Demonic Sect's return. Thanks to the guarantees from the Yun and Qing families, other families in the cultivation world did not rashly incite others, and the common people were relatively less panicked.
On the other side of Beishan, the names and origins of the residents were recorded in an orderly manner, and a thorough population census was conducted. After that, the affairs of Beishan were handed over to Wen Tianyu of Jingge, and they were no longer a group of homeless people.
Furthermore, while organizing information and origins, Wen Tianyu discovered some clues that almost definitively prove that there are several families who are descendants of the residents of Yuanmuyuan.
When Mu Yuan heard the news, she was overjoyed and, at Wen Tianyu's invitation, became a wandering immortal in the mountains of Beishan.
A few days later, Yun Yuelin took the initiative to invite Qingjue to have tea at the Yun family home.
"Really?" Qingjue arrived at the Yun family and was greeted by Yun Shu. He said, "Your young master invited me, not for anything else, but just to have some tea?"
"What are you whispering about?" Yun Yuelin's voice came from afar: "Stop gossiping about me in front of my disciples."
"How dare I? I was just asking. Who would dare to gossip about Chunhua?"
Surprisingly, Yun Yuelin did not refute him.
"..."
That could be a big problem.
"..."
After Qingjue sat down, Yun Yuelin waved for everyone to leave.
"You wouldn't have..." Qingjue began, "had some strange dream, would you?"
"You guessed right! Should I give you a compliment?"
"..."
"..."
He didn't refute it, and now even Yun Yuelin was at a loss.
They were so used to bickering that they both fell silent, unsure of what to say next.
"I didn't... Ugh," Yun Yuelin felt incredibly awkward, as if he were being interrogated, but he could actually understand who had changed the current situation, and said, "Since you've asked like this, you must know something!"
Qingjue was at a loss and said, "...Alright, alright, I'll explain from the beginning."
...
“…I see,” Yun Yuelin frowned. Although the matter could be described as resolved satisfactorily, the memories from before were still very vivid and tragic. “I understand.”
When did you have this dream?
"Yesterday."
"Ah, a few days after daytime... it seems it will indeed be a bit later."
Are you planning to explain each point one by one?
“No,” Qingjue said, taking a sip of tea. “If you ask, I won’t hide it from you, but there’s no need for everyone to know what I’ve done, especially Linglai and the others, who would feel guilty towards me.”
"I thought so too. You're a shrewd person; you couldn't possibly have overlooked this."
“Let’s not dwell on the past,” Qingjue clinked glasses with him, “Let’s focus entirely on this life, Yun Chunhua.”
“Tch,” Yun Yuelin thought so too, saying, “I’m not that pretentious, you little fox.”
Why dwell on the past?
They weren't here to settle scores, and besides, they'd already taken all the revenge they needed in this lifetime.
Qingjue smiled with relief.
He was clearly less conflicted when facing Yun Yuelin and the others.
But when facing Jie Zhoujian, it still happens...
Damn it.
"Actually, there's something else I need to discuss with you."
Yun Yuelin raised an eyebrow: "What could possibly be so difficult for you?"
"To be honest, I have an apprentice... and he... um..."
"..." Yun Yuelin's eyes widened, and she hesitated before asking, "Ruan Linglai?"
"no……"
"...Could it be the Divine Abode...?"
"No, not at all!"
"...Could it be that the geese have gone missing from their flock...?"
"They're busy with their evil cult."
"..."
"Stop listening to my ramblings. Be serious. I rarely ask you for advice."
“Okay,” Yun Yuelin admitted, “Jie confessed to you during the day, and then what?”
What a waste of such a promising talent... he's actually gay and... likes Qing foxes?
Yun Yuelin looked her up and down, sizing up her brother, whom she didn't want to admit was indeed her good brother.
I don't understand.
I don't quite understand why.
Tsk tsk tsk...
"What's wrong with your eyes? Is it so hard to understand my charm? It's only human nature."
"Don't disgust me, just spit it out."
"Anyway... I don't know how to answer him... I have no experience, I don't know what counts as... liking him too? I've thought about it a lot these past few days,"
Do you think I, the young master, have this kind of experience?
"Well, you're an outsider, so you must see things more clearly than I am, someone directly involved!"
"How would I know about love and romance..." Yun Yuelin thought for a moment and got goosebumps. After thinking for a while, he said, "I do know someone who should be able to help you."
Qingjue asked curiously, "Oh?"
...
"...The person you're talking about, is he your father?"
Yun Yuelin: "..."
Upon hearing this, the Yun family head laughed three times and said, "Good, youth is wonderful. Don't worry, I'm not a stubborn person. After all, the Immortal Lord has done so much for the cultivation world. Who he likes is his own business!"
"Thank you, Patriarch Yun, but my problem now is that I don't know how to handle this."
The time span is too long, the identities are not exactly harmonious, the emotions are relatively complicated, and Qingjue is also prone to overthinking and having all sorts of random thoughts.
In short, he also knew that he had no firm resolve during the day.
"Oh? Is that so... Hmm... When I fell in love with Lin'er's mother back then..."
If he had known he was going to listen to the Yun family patriarch recount his love story for two hours, he wouldn't have come...
Finally, the head of the Yun family sighed and said, "When it comes to feelings, hold on tight while you can. If one day that person is gone... all you'll have left is a memory."
Yun Yuelin: "..."
Qingjue also remained silent.
Although I knew that the Yun family head was referring to his own affairs, I could still discern some implied meanings in his words.
If Jie Zhoujian is not here, I will be in a very difficult situation.
This time, he decided to take him home the moment he saw him.
"I've learned a lot. I think I have the answer now."
