No matter how much Bu Moyan shouted, Bei Mingchuan ignored her and had Yi Xun take her away.
Her words will not only not make him give up on reviving Mu Tiantian, but will make him even more determined.
Bei Mingchuan opened the ice coffin and carried Mu Tiantian out.
But the moment he picked her up, he felt something was different.
At that moment, he noticed a fine sheen of sweat on her forehead.
"Master, you're sweating."
Bei Mingchuan's voice was very soft, but it still gave Mu Tiantian a chilling feeling.
She shattered the wall with her Fiery Palm. If she consumed too much internal energy, her body temperature would rise, and she would sweat profusely from time to time.
How could she have forgotten about that?
Bei Mingchuan will definitely discover something amiss.
Mu Tiantian thought to herself, "Should I pretend to have amnesia?"
I just don't know if he can believe me.
Bei Mingchuan carried Mu Tiantian to the ice bed and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her forehead was very hot, completely different from the cool touch she had felt before.
He glanced around before his gaze finally settled on the wardrobe.
The wardrobe seemed to have been moved.
As Bei Mingchuan channeled his inner energy into her, testing her body, he whispered, "Master, I didn't expect you to like me so much, so you must be willing to marry me, right?"
"Master, do you know what I regret most?" Bei Mingchuan wrapped his arms around her waist, pressed his ear close to her chest, and whispered, "I regret not telling you my feelings, Mu Tiantian... I love you."
The moment he finished speaking.
He seemed to hear her heartbeat.
Bei Mingchuan lowered his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, and began to recount their past.
At the first meeting.
She betrayed the entire sect to save him.
She said to him, "I saved you, shouldn't you repay me?"
At the time, he thought she was only doing this to get the address of the treasure.
He sneered, "Repayment? Let me tell you, I don't know where the treasure is. Kill me or do whatever you want."
Surprisingly, she didn't ask him anything about the treasure.
“I’m not interested in that stuff. How about this, I’ll teach you martial arts, and you can be my disciple?” She looked at him with a smile, her almond-shaped eyes clear and her words gentle.
He saw no desire whatsoever in her eyes, only sincerity.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone smile at him so sincerely.
He was momentarily distracted, but quickly became wary. "Master? I already have one. I don't need you to teach me martial arts. What are you, a disciple of the Phoenix Buddha Sect?"
Mu Tiantian's smile froze. "What am I?"
She twisted his ear, saying, "I consider myself your savior."
She used considerable force, and his ear was twisted painfully, but he remained defiant, saying, "If I weren't so weak right now, you wouldn't have the chance to bully me. Once I'm healed, I'll tear you to pieces!"
"You've got guts. I'll wait until you're healed. If you can't beat me, you can become my apprentice."
"Pah! You think you're worthy? Hiss..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian pinched his ear hard, "You're quite stubborn, aren't you?"
She released her grip and said, "How about this? If I can completely remove the poison from your body, you can become my apprentice, okay?"
"What a boastful statement." Bei Mingchuan didn't believe it at all.
Mu Tiantian didn't care and didn't bother him anymore; she disappeared somewhere.
He thought she must have had some ulterior motive for doing this, and if so, he would kill her the next time she showed up to prevent future trouble.
However, when they met for the second time, she saved him again.
Moreover, whenever the toxins in his body flared up, she would immediately appear by his side to suppress them for him.
It has to be said that she really helped him a lot.
But his master said that those who help him must want to gain something from him.
His greatest advantage lies in his lineage from the previous dynasty and the location of the treasure.
Therefore, he must never trust anyone, including her.
But he wavered in his feelings for her.
She told him, "I know a medicine that can remove the fire toxins from your body. It's a thousand-year-old snow ginseng. It's in Wuji Palace. I'll go get it for you."
He didn't say anything.
Before leaving, she looked at him earnestly and said, "You'd better watch carefully how I get it for you."
At the time, he didn't understand what she meant.
But then he saw her kneeling in the pouring rain, begging for medicine for him, and he seemed to understand something.
She genuinely wanted to help him detoxify.
For some reason, he felt very sad; he didn't want her to kneel in the rain.
It's just a snow ginseng; he can just snatch it.
But she stopped him, saying, "The snow ginseng belongs to someone else. Since you need something from them, you should show sincerity. This is also my way of showing you sincerity."
She looked at him with a smile in her eyes. Even as the rain poured down and the wind howled, she remained kneeling in the rain, her eyes bright and resolute.
Upon seeing this, Bei Mingchuan's heart pounded uncontrollably.
He couldn't quite describe his feelings.
But from that moment on, he knew in his heart that she would be the only person he would ever trust.
She knelt in the rain for three days and three nights to obtain the snow ginseng, which she used to remove the fire poison from him.
He was willing to become her disciple, but he knew that societal norms did not allow a master and disciple to stay together, so he did not want to call her master.
Later, he learned that in order to cure him of the remaining Cold Poison and Illusion Poison, Mu Tiantian not only learned the Frost Palm technique, but also fed herself the Cold Poison and personally improved the secret manual "Phoenix Blazing Flame".
This was to minimize the risks for him in learning the Phoenix Flame.
To understand his illusionary poison, she abandoned her martial arts skills and started learning the Nine Star Yin Yang Manual from scratch.
At that moment, he realized his feelings for her.
At this point, Bei Mingchuan hugged Mu Tiantian tightly, feeling her body temperature.
He began, "When I learned that you told Tuoba Qing that you liked me, I decided that we would find a place where no one knew us and live a peaceful life."
Mu Tiantian never imagined that he would have such feelings for her.
At that moment, she could only feel her heart pounding uncontrollably.
"I'm starting to arrange everything we need for our wedding." Bei Mingchuan paused for a long time before saying, "Master, you knew perfectly well that Tuoba Yin couldn't hurt me, so why did you still take that sword for me? We clearly agreed..."
Back then, the Third Prince Tuoba Yin concealed his identity and entered Wushuang Manor in order to eliminate the remnants of the previous dynasty, Beimingchuan, and to obtain the treasures left behind by the previous royal family.
Not long after, the eldest prince, Tuoba Qing, also arrived at the manor, directly revealing Tuoba Yin's identity.
There was infighting within the royal family, with the eldest prince and the third prince at odds.
Tuoba Qing wanted to use Beimingchuan to get rid of Tuoba Yin, so Mu Tiantian cooperated with him and set up a scheme.
However, to everyone's surprise, she had set herself up in a deadly trap.
She and Bei Mingchuan agreed to deliberately make Tuoba Yin think that she had poisoned others, thus lowering his guard.
Then, when Tuoba Yin discovered that Mu Tiantian had betrayed him and lost his mind, wanting to kill Bei Mingchuan, Bei Mingchuan killed him in return.
She assured him that she would be in no danger.
However, she went back on her word and took the sword for him.
“We clearly agreed…” Even now, when Bei Mingchuan recalls the scene of her death, his body trembles uncontrollably.
They could have been together after that day.
He could have gotten married and retired to a life of seclusion...
