"Master..." Xiao Ning took a deep breath, looked at Bai Ziyun firmly, and said slowly: "I'm leaving." After hearing this, Bai Ziyun's body trembled violently, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. She stared at Xiao Ning blankly, her eyes full of shock and loss.
After a moment of silence, Bai Ziyun suddenly hugged Xiao Ning tightly in his arms. Xiao Ning buried his head in Bai Ziyun's chest, tears welling up in his eyes. Her voice was trembling and aggrieved, and she choked with sobs: "Ning'er, you don't keep your word! You clearly promised me that you would never leave again! You lied to me..."
Xiao Ning was startled by Bai Ziyun's sudden action. He tried to push Bai Ziyun away, but found that he was holding him too tightly and he couldn't get away at all. He explained anxiously: "Master, please listen to me first..." However, Bai Ziyun was completely immersed in his emotions and ignored Xiao Ning's words.
"No! I've already apologized, why don't you forgive me! You don't want to be my master anymore! There's no point in me living anymore!" Bai Ziyun cried hysterically, as if the whole world had collapsed.
Xiao Ning was almost suffocated by Bai Ziyun, his face flushed red. He struggled desperately, and finally used all his strength to break free from Bai Ziyun's arms. He gasped for breath and wanted to continue speaking.
"I tm..." But before he could finish, Bai Ziyun rushed over again. This time, she hugged Xiao Ning's waist tightly, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and continued to cry: "Ning'er, I can't live without you! How can I live without you!"
"Could you please let me finish my words?
Xiao Ning stretched out his right hand, pressed against Bai Ziyun's forehead, and pushed her head back, trying to keep her face, which was covered with snot and tears, away from him to avoid staining his clothes. The two of them were in a stalemate, neither of them was willing to give in, and it lasted for a long time before Xiao Ning broke free and sighed deeply.
"When did I say I didn't want you?
Bai Ziyun sobbed and asked in a tearful voice, "If you say you want to leave, doesn't that mean you don't want me anymore?" Her expression was like a pitiful little cat, with tear marks and scars all over her face, which made people feel pity for her.
Xiao Ning looked at her and felt amused. He couldn't help but teasing, "How could I not want you?" He gently stroked Bai Ziyun's cheek and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
When Bai Ziyun heard this, she cried even harder. She hugged Xiao Ning tightly and said with a sob, "But you just said you were leaving. Doesn't that mean you don't want me anymore?" Her voice was full of grievance and helplessness, which made people feel heartbroken.
Bai Ziyun cried even harder, looking pitiful and helpless. Xiao Ning was amused by her cute look. He shook his head helplessly, then took out a white handkerchief and carefully wiped the tears from Bai Ziyun's face.
"Master is such a fool!"
"Yes! I am a fool, so Ning'er cannot leave me, or I will be plotted to death by those people outside."
Xiao Ning said angrily, "You still have the nerve to say that. You screwed Lin Fan over. He didn't even know that Master was the culprit until his death."
Hearing this, Bai Ziyun was extremely surprised. She didn't expect Lin Fan to be dead.
"How did he die? I didn't even do anything yet and he died?" Bai Ziyun asked in surprise.
Xiao Ning quickly signaled her to calm down and explained, "Don't worry, it was Ning Que who killed him. He did it very efficiently and it won't lead to Master."
Bai Ziyun looked at Xiao Ning embarrassedly and asked:
“You know everything?
Xiao Ning chuckled and replied, "Master, you may have forgotten my physique. Can an ordinary person suppress your hidden injury? The poison you put in the food has no effect on me at all."
When Bai Ziyun heard this, a look of shame appeared on his face. He lowered his head and remained silent. For a moment, the room became quite quiet.
Xiao Ning coughed lightly, then said solemnly: "Master, I am leaving. But seeing your current condition, if I leave, I am afraid you will not be able to live a normal life. So, Master, are you willing to go home with me?"
Bai Ziyun raised his head and looked at Xiao Ning in disbelief. He asked excitedly, "Go home? Ning'er, are you saying you want to take me to live with you?"
Xiao Ning curled his lips, pretending to turn around and leave, and said, "If Master doesn't want to come to my house, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
When Bai Ziyun heard this, he rushed forward and hugged him, tears in his eyes, and choked up and said, "Ning'er, I do, of course I do! I can finally go home with Ning'er!"
Xiao Ning also gently hugged Bai Ziyun, smiled tenderly, and said: "Well, Master, let's go back to Yongning City together!"
A few days later, Lin Fan's disappearance was finally noticed. After the Lin family learned of the news, they immediately sent people to the Shenxiao Sect to investigate. Chang Shiqi told them that Lin Fan had severed his master-disciple relationship with him and decided to go to Wutong Peak to worship Bai Ziyun as his master. However, Bai Ziyun said that he had not received such a request from Lin Fan, and no one had witnessed any contact or conversation between Bai Ziyun and Lin Fan.
Since Bai Ziyun was known for his integrity, people believed his words without a doubt. Moreover, apart from Chang Shiqi, there was no one else who could prove that Lin Fan had expressed his intention to become Bai Ziyun's disciple. This made the whole incident confusing and confusing.
On the other hand, Xiao Ning contacted the eldest princess Dongfang Qinyin and attributed some of the dirty deeds of the Lin family that he obtained through special channels to her. Not long after, these crimes with solid evidence were made public, and the Lin family was convicted and eventually executed. Since the Lin family had been destroyed, naturally no one cared about Lin Fan's life or death, so the matter gradually subsided and came to an end.
In the main hall of the Shenxiao Sect, Bai Ziyun calmly returned the Wutong Peak Master's token in his hand to Lei Wanshan.
Lei Wanshan frowned, feeling a headache: "Ziyun! Are you really not going to think about it anymore?"
Bai Ziyun smiled slightly and said firmly: "Master, I have thought it through very clearly and I have made up my mind. I have been in Wutong Peak for decades, and now I want to go out and take a look."
Lei Wanshan knew Bai Ziyun's personality very well. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. However, he still persuaded him unwillingly: "Ziyun, Wutong Peak needs you..."
Bai Ziyun interrupted Lei Wanshan, his face still calm: "Master, I know your good intentions, but I believe Wutong Peak might be better off without me."
Lei Wanshan understood that he could not change Bai Ziyun's decision. He sighed heavily, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Bai Ziyun smiled and looked at Lei Wanshan, his eyes sparkling. "Master, don't worry. I just want to change my environment. Maybe I can gain more outside. Please find another capable person to take up the position of Wutong Peak Master!"
Lei Wanshan nodded, his face full of reluctance and helplessness: "Okay, Ziyun. If you encounter difficulties outside, remember to come back to Shenxiao Sect. We will always have your back."
Bai Ziyun looked at Lei Wanshan with gratitude, then turned and left, leaving behind a handsome back.
