The whole day was spent wandering outside. The whole family of the Xiao family was walking together. Those who didn't know would think that something big was going to happen in Yongning City, but it turned out that the family was just out shopping.
At night, Xiao Ning dragged his tired body to lie on the bed, with his hands supporting the back of his head, thinking about what Chu Qian had said during the day.
Is the punishment over? Two years have passed so quickly... Why did she come to me? Did she want me to go back and serve her? This is ridiculous...
Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly, feeling mixed emotions.
He took a deep breath, stood up, slowly walked to the basin beside him, closed his eyes, and immersed his face completely in it. The cool feeling instantly spread throughout his body, gradually relaxing his tense nerves and trying not to let his mind wander.
However, when he picked up the towel to wipe the water stains on his face, there was a sudden crisp knock at the door. The sound was like an alarm bell, echoing in the silent room, breaking the original tranquility. His hands suddenly froze, and a trace of surprise and vigilance flashed in his eyes.
This breath, could it be...
Before Xiao Ning could react, he heard a creaky sound, and the wooden door slowly opened, and a tall figure stepped in from outside.
This figure is slender and elegant, especially the pair of beautiful legs, which are particularly eye-catching. When she walked into the door, her snow-white long skirt fluttered gently in the wind, like a blooming orchid under the moon, exuding an extraordinary, noble and elegant temperament.
Xiao Ning's eyes involuntarily fell on her flawless face. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure, like the surface of a lake, without a single ripple. He slowly spoke:
"Senior Bai, why are you here..."
After hearing this, the woman's face instantly turned gloomy and she angrily shouted, "Senior? How dare you call me senior! I am your master. Even if I die, I can't change this fact. I..."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. Her chest rose and fell with anger, the surging curves of her chest hard to ignore.
Xiao Ning didn't say anything, but walked straight to the desk and sat down. The woman closed the door and followed him.
My mother said that Senior Sister would come to see me in a few days, so I should have guessed that you would come to see me too, but I didn’t expect that Senior would come so soon…
This time the woman did not correct the boy's address. She knew that the harm she had caused him could not be undone in a short time.
She walked gently to the bed and sat down gracefully. She stretched out her white jade-like fingers and gently stroked the soft and smooth silk on the bed, as if feeling its delicate texture and warm touch. There was also the unique breath of a teenager, and her eyes revealed a hint of gentleness and satisfaction.
"How have you been lately?" The woman's gentle voice came, like a breeze blowing past. However, what responded to her was a cold answer.
"I'm not dead yet. Thank you for your concern." Xiao Ning's voice was free of any emotion, like a piece of cold wood.
The woman frowned slightly, with a hint of heartache in her eyes. She sighed softly and spoke again, "Come back with me. Your senior sisters and I... miss you very much... and my confinement is over. Let's be like before, okay?"
Xiao Ning was silent for a moment, and finally raised his head, his eyes firm and resolute. He looked at the woman coldly and said slowly: "I don't want to go back."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, hitting the woman's heart. She was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Xiao Ning to reject her so directly. A trace of pain and disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she immediately regained her composure.
"Why? Are you still blaming me?" the woman asked softly, with a slight tremor in her voice.
Xiao Ning turned around, with his back to the woman, and after a long silence, he spoke: "Let the past be the past. I am no longer the person I was back then."
The woman's eyes widened, tears welling up in her eyes. She bit her lips tightly, and she stood up and grabbed the boy's wrist, as if she was stimulated for a moment.
"What's wrong with your body? She asked anxiously, why did your realm drop so much? Two years ago, you were still at the tenth level of foundation building, how come..."
Xiao Ning quickly pulled his arm back and rubbed his red wrist.
"Senior Bai, my strength has declined now. Do you think the sect will still want a useless person like me..."
"Don't worry. As long as you come back with me, I will try my best to cure you. The sect won't say anything. You are my disciple, they will definitely not give me face..." Bai Ziyun's tone was full of concern and guilt.
However, Xiao Ning sneered: "Bai Ziyun, I don't need your pity." His eyes were cold and firm, as if he didn't care about Bai Ziyun's words at all.
Bai Ziyun hurriedly explained: "This is not pity! You are my apprentice, I will do this for you even if it costs my life...!" Her voice was filled with eagerness and anxiety, as if she wanted Xiao Ning to understand her true feelings.
Xiao Ning suddenly stood up and turned to face Bai Ziyun. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, shooting straight into Bai Ziyun's eyes. He said coldly: "Bai Ziyun, I am no longer your disciple. I am living well here now, with my loving parents and Sister Yue and others protecting me. I don't want to go back to that cold place, serve you, and endure others' false accusations."
His voice was calm and resolute, revealing his deep resolve and determination. He was no longer willing to return to his old life. He would rather not be able to practice cultivation for the rest of his life than owe them any favors.
After saying that, he turned his back to the woman again, was silent for a long time and said slowly: Senior Bai, you and I are master and disciple, why bother, can't we just part ways in peace?
Bai Ziyun's eyes were bloodshot, she knew that Xiao Ning still had resentment in his heart, and kidnapping him now would only make the resentment in his heart grow bigger, besides, his parents would definitely not let him leave easily.
She clenched her teeth and walked to his side with a stubborn look on her face.
"Whether you come back or not, I am still your master. It doesn't matter whether you acknowledge me or not. It was the same before and it is the same now. This cannot and will not be changed!"
After saying this, she let out a long breath, as if to let out all the fatigue and pain.
"I will definitely find something to cure you."
She stroked Xiao Ning's face gently, with a determined light in her eyes.
Finally, she took another deep look at the young man in front of her. Her eyes were full of affection, gentle and loving, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance in her heart forever.
Then she turned and walked out of the Xiao Mansion with firm steps.
Xiao Ning's face was gloomy, he didn't expect that Bai Ziyun thought so highly of him. Two years had passed, but the weight in his heart did not decrease but increased instead. And the look in his eyes at the end clearly showed that he wanted to eat him up and take him for himself.
When I thought about it, I got goosebumps all over my body.
No! I absolutely cannot take that kind of imprisonment route. Even if I have to blow up my own strength, I don't want to go into the small dark room!
He lay face down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep...
