Chapter 164: Apprentice vs. Immortal (41)
Xu Jinxiao happily flew towards him on his sword and landed beside him, a smile spreading across the corners of his lips.
"Master, the competition is over. How about we go on a wandering trip right away?"
After the competition, there is a half-month holiday for the disciples to have fun and relax. They have been very nervous about the competition, so it is time to relax.
He also took this opportunity to communicate more with his wife.
Thinking of this, his eyes sparkled with joy and anticipation, hoping that his wife would not reject him.
Under his focused gaze, Chu Junhe slowly nodded, "Okay."
"Master, you are so kind. I love you the most~"
Xu Jinxiao's eyes sparkled with light, she took Chu Junhe's hand, and spoke coquettishly with a long tone.
It seemed as if an electric current passed through Chu Junhe's heart, and a tingling sensation spread.
He pretended to be calm, but the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
Xu Jinxiao looked down and could no longer see Yu Ying. He gave up trying to communicate with him and turned to Chu Junhe.
"Master, let's go back and pack our things."
"good."
The two of them flew back to their respective residences together. Xu Jinxiao quickly packed up and threw all his things into the storage ring.
Finally, he had a conversation with Yu Yingyong using the Xuanjing, asking him to remember to post the red list tomorrow, and then rushed to Chu Junhe's residence.
"Master."
Xu Jinxiao rushed into the familiar courtyard, the fragrance of pear blossoms hit his face, and he couldn't wait to see the figure in white.
Chu Junhe, who was packing up his things in the house, held his forehead helplessly and said softly, "Don't be in such a hurry. It won't take this long."
Xu Jinxiao curled his lips and smiled, then said straight to the point: "Master, because this disciple is anxious to see you."
His voice was as clear as the tinkling of cold jade, yet extremely firm. His eyes fell on Chu Junhe's face without blinking.
Chu Junhe paused his movements and met Xu Jinxiao's gaze. His breathing unconsciously stopped. After a while, he pretended nothing had happened and continued to pack up.
When Xu Jinxiao saw this, he became anxious. His wife kept avoiding him like this. How long would it take for him to catch up with her?
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, strode to Chu Junhe's side, held Chu Junhe's wrist, and looked at him carefully.
"Master, don't you have anything to say?"
Chu Junhe opened his mouth with difficulty, but finally closed it without saying a word.
Xu Jinxiao felt empty in his heart for a moment, and the strong feeling of loss seemed to drown him. The next moment, he let go of Chu Junhe's hand, turned around and walked away in big strides.
Chu Junhe's eyes were slightly red, and he pursed his lips. What should he say?
In the world of cultivating immortals, love between a teacher and a disciple is forbidden. Especially since both of them are men, it is shocking and unheard of.
If they are determined to stay together, they will have to pay a huge price.
According to the sect's rules, the two must have their spiritual roots destroyed and be kicked out of the sect.
How could he bear to do this?
Chu Junhe clenched his fists and closed his eyes in pain.
Xu Jinxiao's face was gloomy, as if on the eve of a heavy rain, without a trace of light.
Unknowingly, he arrived at the back mountain and lay down on the ground, staring at the afterglow of the setting sun.
His mood hit rock bottom. After all this time, is it possible that his wife has no feelings for him at all?
Just when he was doubting his life, the system suddenly spoke.
[Host, I sense that you are in a very bad mood. Are you worried that your beloved wife doesn't like you?]
Xu Jinxiao replied absentmindedly, "Yeah."
[Oh my god, don't worry at all. Your wife loves you 90% of the time! She would be heartbroken if she lost you!]
"Thread ball, do you think I still believe you?"
Xu Jinxiao rolled his eyes. He believed it and that’s why he is so miserable now.
[Hmph, no one should cheat! I'm a very principled person!]
Threadball retorted without hesitation.
"Well, I don't believe it anyway."
Xu Jinxiao was so devastated that he lost all his confidence and lay on the ground in despair.
[Host, you—don't want your wife anymore?! If you don't stir up your fighting spirit, someone else will snatch her away! You'll have no place to cry then!]
Seeing Xu Jinxiao's appearance, Xianqiu became anxious and yelled.
How can the host just give up? After all, the hidden mission it received is love!
Xu Jinxiao was frightened and a little light returned to his eyes. He turned over and sat up.
"Well, you succeeded in reminding me."
He couldn't leave his wife behind. Watching Chu Junhe with someone else was more painful than killing him.
[That's right! Come on, host, believe in your own charm~]
[By the way, your wife might be worried that if you two get together, you'll be targeted by the immortal cultivation community. After all, mentor-disciple relationships are not allowed!]
Xu Jinxiao slowly stood up and tilted his head curiously.
"Is that so? Then I will improve to the point where no one in the entire cultivation world can defeat me."
Although his voice was soft and could be easily blown away by the wind, his expression was extremely serious and firm.
I originally thought of strengthening my relationship with his wife during this half month, but now it seems that I should improve my strength with the help of his wife.
Besides, if he could compete with the entire world of immortal cultivation in the future, he could also snatch his wife away and not give him the chance to like someone else.
Although it is a bit dark, this is indeed his truest thought.
There was a flickering in Xu Jinxiao's eyes, just like the depths of his heart.
【Then keep going, my dear host! 】
The string ball naturally supported him and immediately cheered him up.
Xu Jinxiao did not go to find Chu Junhe, but started practicing swordsmanship in the bamboo forest first.
In a lush green bamboo forest, he held a water-blue spirit sword in his hand, his movements were smooth and his clothes fluttered.
He didn't stop what he was doing until the sun had completely set and the light in the bamboo forest had disappeared.
His whole body was soaked in sweat, and crystal drops of sweat dripped down his smooth chin to the ground, splashing a small splash of water.
He swiftly put away his magic sword, performed a cleansing spell to restore his entire body to its original state, and then strode away.
Coming to the familiar door, he knocked lightly and it opened soon.
Chu Junhe saw him standing there in a daze, his eyes widened, and a huge wave of emotion surged in his heart. He had never expected that Xu Jinxiao would come back, and so soon.
Xu Jinxiao's face bloomed with a familiar bright smile again, as if nothing had happened in the afternoon.
"Master, can I sleep here with you? We can set off together tomorrow."
Chu Junhe was dazzled by his smile and nodded for some unknown reason.
Xu Jinxiao suddenly took a step forward, approached Chu Junhe, leaned forward slightly, and smiled, "Master, are you ready?"
Chu Junhe's brain seemed to be a mess, and it took him several seconds to react. He looked away guiltily, "Not yet."
In the afternoon, I thought he would not come back, so I simply didn't clean up.
"Then we clean up together now."
Xu Jinxiao went with the flow, took his hand and walked into the house.
Chu Junhe was pulled in in a daze, and the corners of his originally straight mouth curled up slightly.
The two of them quickly packed up, and Xu Jinxiao didn't push any further. He lay down directly on the couch and fell asleep with the bright moon and fresh breeze outside the window.
The next morning, he couldn't wait to pull Chu Junhe away on his sword.
