Chapter 178: Dispelling Sorrow and Saying Goodbye
The fake demon pill was just a fake after all. She had endured the pain for many days. She would not easily show it in front of her little disciple, but now her consciousness was blurred and she subconsciously expressed her true feelings.
"Master... I know. I'm sorry, but I'm useless."
Hua Zhe hugged her, his eyes filled with heartache, and he also blamed himself.
Every time Yu Caixing said it hurt, she said sorry.
Every word of pain that Yu Caixing uttered was like a blunt knife, deeply cutting into Huazhe's heart and making her feel like she was dying.
Afterwards, she sent Yu Caixing back to the house and carefully placed her on the bed.
Hua Zhe stood by the bed, quietly looking at her sleeping face, and raised his hand to smooth her frown.
But it was useless… The master still frowned and said it hurt.
The night wind is cool, winter is deep, burying everything and leaving only the rustling white.
Huazhe slowly held her hand and cried out.
…
On the fifth day, Yu Caixing looked at the Koi Mansion covered with snow and put on the clothes she wore when she first picked up Huazhe.
It was a winter coat woven with gold, with little koi fish patterns on the hem of her skirt, and she was also wearing a red cape.
It was also a snowy day in winter when I picked up my little disciple.
I came from the wind and snow, took your hand and led you out, and now naturally I will return to the wind and snow.
She stood under the peach tree last night, the white snow and red clothes contrasting against each other, attracting people's attention in particular.
Huazhe stood behind her, looking at her back, then ran up to her and hugged her in his arms.
"master."
She murmured, Yu Caixing turned around and slowly hugged her.
"What's wrong? I'm here."
"master."
"I am here."
"master……"
"Here I am, dear."
Huazhe called her over and over again, and Yu Caixing answered her patiently.
She looked at her, raised her hand to brush away some of the snow on Huazhe's head, and saw that Huazhe's eyes were red. She sighed and pulled her to sit in the hall.
Yu Caixing leaned on Huazhe's shoulder, and the two of them looked at the snow scene, no one spoke.
Before this, Yu Caixing picked up a fallen flower and played with it in her hand.
This flower does not belong to this winter, just like she herself no longer belongs to the present.
Hua Zhe thought, how nice it would be if it could always be like this.
But Yu Caixing finally spoke.
"My little disciple, I don't want to feel any pain anymore..."
Her voice was very soft, like the flying snow, which scattered around when the wind blew and fell on Huazhe's heart.
Very cold, very icy, very uncomfortable...
Hua Zhe knew that she was determined to leave, and he endured the loneliness in his heart and held her hand tightly.
"Master, thank you for your hard work."
Thank you for your hard work these five days, enduring the pain by my side, thank you for taking care of me for so many years, and thank you for blocking the palm strike for me.
Yu Caixing smiled, opened her mouth and spit out the fake demon pill, and put it into Hua Zhe's hand.
As the demon pill left her body, she became weak in an instant, but the pain did not ease at all.
Hua Zhe bit his lip, held the demon pill, turned his head, and gently kissed her lips.
Yu Caixing had never expected that her eyes suddenly widened.
Then, Huazhe stroked her face with his hand and spoke in a calm voice.
"Master... This is the most courageous time I've ever had, and I'm doing it while I'm conscious. I hope you won't refuse."
It was fleeting at first, but then it swept over like an overwhelming force, leaving Yu Caixing breathless.
Yu Caixing closed her eyes consciously, but suddenly felt a little cold on her face.
I don’t know if those were the tears of broken flowers or the frost and snow that accidentally flew onto my cheeks.
Yu Caixing thought, just pretend you don’t know.
The action of folding flowers is very gentle. It is not about asking for something, but more like a lingering attachment before parting. It is like the warm sunshine of spring, which warms people's hearts.
She was reluctant to hurt her master, nor did she want to leave a bad impression on him.
Yu Caixing didn't move, just let her do whatever she wanted.
My little disciple, stop crying.
Master is so useless, always making you cry. If you continue like this, Master will really be reluctant to let you go...
Love cannot overcome fate, I have to wait for you all the time, always complaining that spring never comes. This short-lived warmth will be sealed in this windy and snowy winter.
The moment the two separated, she leaned in Huazhe's arms with a smile on her lips.
It won't hurt anymore...
Hua Zhe, with tears rolling down her eyes, bit her lips tightly and crushed the fake demon pill in her hand with force.
Master, I always listen to what you say and I am very good, right?
You must remember me. After I avenge you, I will come looking for you.
“Crack—”
A cracking sound was heard, and the fake demon pill shattered in her hands.
The red demonic power inside dissipated into the air little by little, sparkling.
In the distance, petals fell from the trees, and many koi jumped out of the water by the pond, breaking the thin ice.
Yu Caixing leaned against Huazhe and slowly closed her eyes in her arms.
The flower she was twisting in her hand fell into the snow after her hand dropped, and was then covered by the wind and snow...
Hua Zhe lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, holding her very tightly.
"Master...you must remember me. I will come find you."
She murmured, placing a kiss on Yu Caixing's forehead.
Soon, the Koi Mansion began to collapse, the surrounding scenery was rapidly decaying, and the courtyard walls also collapsed.
Yu Caixing's body began to dissipate in the air bit by bit.
Even though Huazhe hugged her very tightly, he still couldn't keep her.
"master……"
She murmured, but it was Yu Caixing's voice in her ears.
"My little disciple, don't cry. I am everything in the world. I will always be by your side. I will wait for you... and I will never forget you."
Hua Zhe bit her lip, feeling the person in her arms getting lighter and lighter...lighter and lighter, until he disappeared.
Yu Caixing finally dissipated. Hua Zhe looked at the red flocs flying in the air and reached out to grab something, but came up empty-handed.
The Koi Mansion has collapsed, and everyone followed Yu Caixing and disappeared.
Hua Zhe knelt alone in the snow for a long, long time...
It’s gone, everything is gone. She has no master anymore, and she is alone again.
Her tears fell on the snow and merged with it.
Master, wait for me!
The Jade Star disappeared, and the Koi Mansion no longer existed.
Hua Zhe paid the reward and said goodbye to Qi Ningzhu and Bai Yunshu.
Qi Ningzhu and Bai Yunshu were at the inn before. While waiting for the results of Yu Caixing and the others, they also went to handle another task.
The first thing I saw when I came back on time was Hua Zhe standing in a white dress at the original location of the Koi Mansion.
There was no light in her eyes, but she still decided to say goodbye to Jinli Mansion and build a cenotaph for her master.
Looking at her lonely figure, Qi Ningzhu asked tentatively.
"Have you thought about the way forward?"
Huazhe endured the pain and nodded firmly.
"I've thought about it. You don't have to worry. Here."
She pretended to be nonchalant, handed over the reward, then waved goodbye to her master, Jinli Mansion, Qi Ningzhu, Bai Yunshu and the others, then flew away on her sword, disappearing in the wind and snow.
