The collapse beneath their feet continued until finally, the ground could no longer support the two of them and crumbled into fragments in an instant.
Xi Xingxue and He Yan immediately fell down.
In an instant, He Yan hugged Xi Xingxue tightly, protecting him firmly.
Xi Xingxue paused for a moment, but still did not struggle.
The two plummeted straight down, and soon the sky brightened, revealing a vast expanse of green mountains below.
He Yan carried Xi Xingxue and landed steadily.
Xi Xingxue looked at him with some doubt, feeling that this kid was hiding his strength.
"Master." He Yan looked up at him, his eyes filled with tender affection.
"What's wrong?" Xi Xingxue asked.
He Yan: "The scenery here is beautiful. Why don't we two live in seclusion here?"
"Huh?" Xi Xingxue was stunned. He couldn't help but reach out and tap He Yan on the head.
"What are you talking about? And who is your master?"
He Yan let him tap his head without flinching or dodging, and even gave him a charming smile.
"Only my master would secretly protect me. If it's not you, then who is?"
Xi Xingxue would never admit it. Putting aside whether the kid was poisoned by the illusion or what, he righteously refused.
"We'll be leaving the secret realm in less than a day, so behave yourself."
After Xi Xingxue finished speaking, she was about to leave, regardless of whether she was trapped in the secret realm or not. Once the fifteen days were up, everyone would be ejected from the secret realm.
Unexpectedly, his wrist was grabbed, and He Yan's voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of pleading.
"Master, don't you want me anymore?"
Xi Xingxue was stunned. She turned around and carefully examined He Yan's face.
He Yan lowered his head, letting him scrutinize him.
Upon closer inspection, Xi Xingxue realized that He Yan's watery eyes were filled with a thin mist, as if they were obscured by something.
really.
He Yan was completely trapped in the illusion.
He brushed He Yan's hand away and said in an almost serious tone, "Wake up! You're trapped in an illusion and can't break free."
Xi Xingxue guessed that this was an illusion that affected both of them at the same time, so the condition for leaving this illusion must be that both of them had to wake up.
Little did anyone know, He Yan was utterly useless. The point wasn't his words, but rather the hand that had been flung away from her.
His peach blossom eyes dimmed instantly, filled with an inescapable gloom.
"Master...do you hate me that much?"
He approached Xi Xingxue step by step, his tall and slender figure, like a green bamboo, casting a shadow in front of her.
Xi Xingxue tried to step back, but her feet seemed to be glued to the ground, and she couldn't move.
He stared at He Yan, wanting to see what other tricks he had up his sleeve.
As a result, a double image fell before his eyes, and his face slammed into a man's fragrant embrace.
He Yan held Xi Xingxue tightly around the waist, his large hand on her waist tightening even more, and even his voice trembled slightly.
He pressed Xi Xingxue's fluffy head into his chest, resting his chin on the top of his head.
Her voice was hoarse: "Master, I hate you, but my love for you is stronger than my hate."
Xi Xingxue was stunned.
Although He Yan's tone was confused, he was clearly out of his mind and had been completely guided by something, falling into an illusion.
However, these thoughts deep in his heart were magnified and even distorted, leading to this stage.
He Yan's favorability towards Xi Xingxue is always the most unpredictable, with the lowest favorability but the greatest fluctuations.
One second he might have a 60% favorability rating, the next second it could drop to 20%.
But at the same time, it can suddenly change from twenty to seventy.
Sometimes, Xi Xingxue even thought He Yan had gone mad.
So that's how it is... after so many years of getting along, He Yan's hatred had already changed.
Xi Xingxue did not push him away.
Anyway, since it's just a different persona, there's no need to stick to a certain image.
Time passed second by second, and He Yan found that his master was obediently staying in his arms, without struggling or leaving, his fingertips trembling with excitement.
Xi Xingxue poked her head out and looked at the sky.
The light on the horizon grew brighter and brighter, like dazzling fireworks bursting forth.
Yes, almost there, we'll be ejected from the secret realm soon.
His first topic was "How to switch back to Master's disguise in a second".
The second topic is "How to maintain the Master's disguise and prevent it from falling off".
Xi Xingxue was thinking.
Suddenly, the hand around his waist tightened, and he was pushed forward. He staggered a few steps and leaned against a tree to avoid falling.
Before I could even look up, I heard an incredulous voice, "Why am I holding you?"
Xi Xingxue looked up, and just then, a rumbling sound came from the horizon, and everyone was about to be ejected from the secret realm.
At the last second, he saw surprise and suspicion filling He Yan's bright eyes.
He reached out his hand to him, as if to pull him up, but also as if to keep him there and ask him something.
Xi Xingxue felt a headache coming on: "It was your own fantasy that got you caught up in it, and in the end you pushed your teacher away. You're utterly heartless."
......
Minghai and Chundu squeezed into the crowd, peering towards the exit of the secret realm.
Disciples emerged in waves, and the crowds welcoming them were countless. If the two hadn't been holding hands tightly, they would have been separated by the crowd.
Minghai muttered in confusion, "That's strange, Dudu, why haven't our Taiqing Sect disciples come out yet?"
Chun Du shook his head: "I don't know, how would I know?"
Minghai reached out and affectionately hooked the tip of his nose with his finger. "Okay, it's alright, we'll wait patiently."
