Qin Luo was taken aback by her words, and then sighed inwardly.
Looking at Yiting's slightly dimmed eyes, there was pity and helplessness.
"Yiting, your master is not feeling well right now and really doesn't have the energy to do this with you. As you know, I just used up too much of my spiritual energy."
"Master, your health is the most important thing. Yiting was just being unreasonable."
Yi Ting revealed a kind and understanding smile. Her gentle face was like a budding flower, with a hint of loneliness yet still exuding a delicate fragrance.
After saying this, Yi Ting let out a soft breath, took out a pill emitting a purple glow from her sleeve, and carefully said:
"Master, this is the Spirit-Replenishing Pill that Yiting just refined. It is very beneficial for restoring spiritual energy. You are currently weak, so please take this pill."
Qin Luo looked at the pill in Yi Ting's hand without suspecting anything. So he smiled, nodded, and opened his mouth.
After gently placing the pill into Qin Luo's mouth, Yi Ting looked at him expectantly.
Qin Luo, however, was completely unaware of this, and slowly closed his eyes to begin replenishing his Qi Sea.
At first, Qin Luo only felt the pill melt in his mouth, and a cool sensation flowed down his throat.
However, a moment later, he suddenly felt the spiritual energy he had just recovered dissipate rapidly, and his body became weak all over. At the same time, a surge of blood rushed to his heart, causing his face to turn red instantly.
"Yiting, what... what's going on?"
Qin Luo asked with difficulty, and tried to mobilize the small amount of spiritual energy that had just recovered in his body to resist, but found that the already limited spiritual energy was like a dam breaking, dissipating outward uncontrollably, and his body slowly fell backward.
Only then did Qin Luo realize the problem with the pills, and a chill ran down his spine. How could this have turned out like this? How did it become feeding him little pills?!
Could it be the rejection just now? No, he rejected many times during those seven days, and nothing happened to him. So what's going on this time?
This left Qin Luo completely baffled. He had only missed one day of simulation, so why had Yi Ting lost control? Had something significant happened today?
Seeing this, Yiting quickly helped him up and gently leaned him against the bedside.
"Master, I'm sorry, this is a last resort for Yiting. Yiting loves you so much, but you always... so Yiting had no choice but to resort to this."
After saying that, Yi Ting gently stroked Qin Luo's cheek.
Her fingers gently moved down Qin Luo's forehead, along his chiseled features, across his high nose, and finally rested on his slightly pale lips.
“Master, do you know? Ever since Yiting first saw you, you were like a ray of light shining into Yiting’s world.”
“Your every glance, every gesture, is deeply etched in Yiting’s heart. The first person Yiting thinks of when she wakes up every day is you, and the person who comes to mind before she falls asleep is you.”
Her fingers trembled slightly, yet she still couldn't bear to leave Qin Luo's cheek, and continued:
"You taught Yiting how to cultivate and showed her the wonders of this world. In Yiting's heart, you are more than just a master. Yiting longs to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, to share every joy and every pain with you."
“Master, do you know, the day you said you liked Yiting too, I felt like I was in the most beautiful dream, incredibly happy. But every time you rejected me afterward, Yiting started to wonder if she hadn’t done something right.”
"Only today did I realize that wasn't the case." A hint of resentment flashed in Yi Ting's eyes: "It's all because of Xia Zihan!"
Yi Ting's fingers unconsciously traced lightly across Qin Luo's cheek, her voice trembling slightly:
"Yi Ting doesn't understand, what is it about her that's better than Yi Ting? Yi Ting loves Master so wholeheartedly, yet Master pushes her away time and time again because of her. Could it be that all those things Master said about liking Yi Ting were just temporary lies?"
Hearing her resentful tone, Qin Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the situation hadn't yet deteriorated to the worst possible point, such as the scenario where he was fed that extremely terrifying red pill in the simulation.
Furthermore, given that Yi Ting's words were constantly directed at Xia Zihan, Qin Luo couldn't help but feel suspicious. Had Xia Zihan done something to inadvertently offend her?
Something must have gone wrong. I remember everything was fine before I went to the lobby, how did it become like this as soon as I came back?
hall!
Suddenly, Qin Luo seemed to realize something. Throughout the meeting, he hadn't seen Xia Zihan at all. Logically, Xia Zihan should have been in the hall.
It seems the problem arose during the time the two disappeared from the meeting. Something must have happened during that period to cause Yiting to develop such strong hostility towards Xia Zihan, to the point that even the usually timid Yiting would do such a thing.
After figuring out the problem, Qin Luo's mind raced, trying to calm Yi Ting down.
"Why isn't Master responding to Yiting? Is it all true?"
Yi Ting's voice carried a hint of despair, and her fingers stopped tracing Qin Luo's cheek. She simply looked at Qin Luo quietly, her eyes growing increasingly deep and unfathomable.
Seeing her like this, Qin Luo broke out in a cold sweat. He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound gentle, even though his weakness made it difficult for him to speak:
"Yiting, what your master said before wasn't to deceive you. It's just that I haven't been able to take care of your feelings during this time."
Upon hearing this, hope rekindled in Yiting's eyes. Her previously dimmed gaze flickered with excitement, like a candle being relit.
Looking at Yi Ting's expression, Qin Luo continued:
"Master knows you've suffered a lot of injustices lately. I was planning to wait for a suitable opportunity before telling Zihan about us. I know this is extremely unfair to you, but I hope you can give your master a little more time. Yiting, you'll understand your master's good intentions, won't you?"
Just when Qin Luo thought Yi Ting would calm down after hearing his heartfelt words, Yi Ting's expression changed as soon as she heard the name Zi Han. She remembered the warning Xia the jealous woman had given her and the slap she had received.
She bit her lip hard, and the last glimmer of hope in her heart was instantly replaced by anger.
"Master, do we really need her approval for what we're doing?!"
Her voice trembled noticeably, a suppressed surge of anger, and her gentle face was now contorted with rage.
