Chapter 2: Meeting the Shadow of an Old Friend for the First Time
Bai Yunshu frowned slightly, walked behind her calmly, and stared at the little guy who stole her pastries.
"Who are you? Why are you stealing my food?"
She asked, her voice cold yet sharp, intimidating without even being angry.
The figure stiffened when he heard that, turned around tremblingly and looked at her.
When Bai Yunshu saw clearly, he stood there in a daze.
The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her clothes were tattered and covered with dust, and her face was dirty.
Even so, one can still see his handsome features and pretty face, and one can also glimpse his elegance from the dust.
The point is, she has a pair of red pupils, like amber, with a hint of coldness. But there is a glimmer in her eyes that seems to contain affection, which attracts you to look more, as if you want to fall into them unconsciously...
Perhaps he was frightened by Bai Yunshu, and was staring at her with a frightened look on his face, looking confused and at a loss.
Bai Yunshu's heart skipped a beat and he swallowed silently.
It looks like it, really like it.
However, Ning Zhu's eyes were not red. Her eyes were warm and sparkling, always smiling, like spring water and summer breeze, full of spirit...
The emotion in Bai Yunshu's eyes was unclear. He clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, suppressing his urge to tie the person in front of him back to Xuanying Sect.
Suddenly she thought of something, and her beautiful eyes dimmed a little.
They look so similar, it would be a shame not to take them back, but as an elder, I can't do such things as human trafficking.
Besides, Ningzhu died a long time ago and there will be no reincarnation.
Seeing the person coming, the girl panicked and wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to go.
"Please spare me, Immortal! I'm sorry... I'm sorry! I'm so hungry! Cough cough cough..."
As she spoke, she sloppily stuffed another piece of cake into her mouth, fearing that she wouldn't be able to eat any more.
She choked on the pastry and started coughing, but she didn't want to spit it out.
Seeing this, Bai Yunshu walked up quickly and patted her on the back to make her feel better.
Seeing her anxious look, Bai Yunshu said softly, "It's okay, eat it, don't be afraid. It's better to let a living person eat it than to let it go to waste."
Beggars often sleep in this dilapidated courtyard, so she was not surprised to see a man here.
The point is, her appearance makes her feel pity for her.
Seeing Bai Yunshu's gentle movements, the girl's eyes began to mist up. She raised her head and looked at her cautiously, and also looked at the candied fruit in her hand.
She had never seen such a handsome person before, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times, but she was afraid of polluting other people's eyes, so she quickly looked away after a quick glance.
Seeing that she finally stopped coughing, Bai Yunshu stopped.
"Eat slowly. Do you want some water? What's your name?"
She asked, and a small drop of water condensed on her fingertips. She brought it to the girl's lips in the girl's surprised gaze and fed it to the girl.
There was a rare gentleness in his words, and he looked up and down the little girl in front of him, checking her physique and fate.
The girl seemed to have been hungry for a long time. Seeing that she was not a bad person, she puffed her mouth with cakes and said incoherently: "Yin Huan, my name is Yin Huan."
Bai Yunshu nodded thoughtfully, and put the candied fruit in his hand into her arms to increase her favorability towards him.
"Why are you alone? Where are your family?"
When Yin Huan heard her ask that, his eyes instantly became blurred with tears and he stopped eating.
"My hometown was hit by a severe drought, and I was displaced. On the run, my parents abandoned me because I was a girl and took my younger brother with them. I hadn't had a full meal in ages, so I suddenly had evil intentions and took the food offered by the immortals."
Tears were already welling up in her eyes, and Bai Yunshu smiled in her heart.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Just eat it. I won't blame you. You are such a poor little thing."
She sighed softly and told her not to cry.
Upon hearing this, Yin Huan nodded with tears in her eyes, timidly and very reserved.
Bai Yunshu saw that her exposed slender arms were covered with bruises, and his eyes moved slightly.
"What are these injuries on your body?"
Yin Huan took a look and wanted to cover himself up out of embarrassment, but his body was covered in rags.
"If I lose the fight for food with others and get beaten, it's not a big deal. I'm used to it."
She spoke lightly, her hand reaching for the pastries again.
Bai Yunshu didn't say anything, just poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.
She forced herself not to pay attention to the kid who was busy eating next to her, but seeing Yin Huan eating so recklessly, she couldn't help but speak up to stop him.
"Eat small meals frequently. If you stay hungry for a long time, you'll easily get sick if you're not careful."
Upon hearing this, Yin Huan paused in his hand holding the pastry and put it back.
"Thank you for the reminder, Immortal..."
She stood aside obediently and did not move.
Bai Yunshu smiled, making himself look more approachable.
She glanced at Yin Huan and asked.
"Do you want to eat a full meal?"
Yin Huan nodded immediately.
"think!"
She is hungry now, so she naturally wants to.
There was affirmation in the tone.
Bai Yunshu lowered his eyes, stretched out his slender jade-like hand, and pointed to the mountain peak in the clouds in the distance.
"What a coincidence! Look over there, Xuanying Sect. They will be recruiting students in a few days. A disciple will come down the mountain to issue invitations. You can try your luck and become an entry-level disciple. Then you can have enough food to eat and practice cultivation."
Yin Huan stared at the towering mountain peak and spoke hesitantly.
"But what if I don't have a chance to be an immortal..."
Bai Yunshu touched her head and spoke in the most coaxing voice possible for a child.
"How do you know there aren't any? If there really aren't any, then there's nothing I can do. But as long as you want to, it shouldn't be difficult. The requirements to become an outer disciple aren't high."
Yin Huan's eyes lit up when he heard this and he nodded in agreement.
She noticed Bai Yunshu's movements, and a faint fragrance hit her nose, unlike any she had smelled before.
Outside Yin Huan's sight, Bai Yunshu's fingertips transformed into a white spiritual power and entered the girl's body.
Yin Huan suddenly spoke expectantly.
"Maybe I can meet you there."
Bai Yunshu nodded, his tone becoming a little more relaxed.
"Yes, but I'm just saying. There's more to the world than just one path. It all depends on what you want in your heart."
The drizzle and spring flowers each have their own way.
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and washed the stains on Yin Huan's face and repaired the scars on his body.
Yin Huan was surprised that the bruises and pain on his body were gone.
She wanted to ask more questions, but when she saw the hint of sadness on Bai Yunshu's face, she didn't dare to speak.
Bai Yunshu left some food for her, said "We'll meet again if we're destined to", and then flew away on a cloud.
She was like a cold mist, blowing away without leaving a trace of smoke.
Yin Huan, holding a bunch of things, stared at her back as she left for a long time.
It was so long that he could no longer see her figure, and then he withdrew his gaze.
Her eyes were calm and clear, and she no longer had the previous expectations and hopes. She stared at the thing in her arms and murmured three words.
“It tastes terrible.”
As unpalatable as always.
A mocking arc appeared on her lips. She tore open the oil paper of the candied fruit, stuffed one into her mouth, and stepped out of the courtyard.
