Chapter 53: Good Tea Art Nan Liujing silently clenched his fists, his heart...
Nan Liujing clenched his fists silently, feeling aggrieved. In the past, his master had always protected him without asking whether he was right or wrong or why, and had never scolded him for anyone else.
"Whether Elder Li believes it or not, Bei Liyuan was able to dodge just now. He did it on purpose..."
Bei Liyuan coughed twice, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said weakly, "Master, it's because I'm useless and my cultivation is too low that Sect Master Nan accidentally injured me. Please don't blame him. It's all my fault. It's all because I'm not good enough at learning... cough cough..."
Li Youyang's eyes darkened. "Sect Master Nan, please leave Chengyan Palace now."
Nan Liujing's fingertips dug deep into his palm. At this moment, his master wouldn't believe anything he said. He immediately softened his stance and bowed to Bei Liyuan. "I was too heavy-handed. I beg for your forgiveness, Fellow Daoist Bei. As long as it's something I can do, please just ask."
Bei Liyuan's eyes darkened, but he was flexible. He then spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Li Youyang was shocked: "Medicine madman!"
Medicine Saint had already grasped Bei Liyuan's wrist: "Don't worry, I'll see."
You rascal, you're quite cunning! Judging by the past few days, Nan Liujing must have been responsible for Youyang's death a century ago. Well, I'll cooperate with you and get rid of him as soon as possible so he doesn't become an eyesore. "It was a combination of anger and severe injuries that caused this. But it's nothing serious. He'll be awake tomorrow."
Li Youyang nodded, bent down, picked up the person and carried him back to the room.
Nan Liujing looked at Li Youyang's back and suddenly had an intuition that if he let him leave like this today, there would be no possibility for him and Li Youyang to be together.
In a panic, he knelt on the ground and choked out, "Master, I know I was wrong. Please don't drive me away."
Li Youyang paused slightly and returned to the room without looking back.
Nangong Liuchu looked at Nan Liujing who was kneeling on the ground crying inconsolably. Nan Liujing, the pinnacle of the immortal world and the leader of a sect, looked really pitiful when he cried like this.
The Medicine Saint curled his lips and said, "The tea you brewed, little fellow, is truly fragrant! But, it's just right."
…
Nan Liujing just kept kneeling until Li Youyang opened his mouth.
At nightfall the next day, Nangong Liuchu and Lie Wushuang passed by. Nangong Liuchu couldn't help but ask, "Still kneeling, Nan Liujing, why is he doing this?"
Lie Wushuang: "Let's go."
"Hmm... Junior Brother, why are you up? Where's Master?"
Bei Liyuan came over with some tea and snacks: "Master Fang has gone to bed."
Lie Wushuang looked at Chadian: "You are..."
Bei Liyuan had already walked towards Nan Liujing. He lowered his head to put down the cake and curled his lips: "Master was afraid that you would be hungry, so he asked me to bring it to you."
Nan Liujing raised his eyes: "Master..."
Bei Liyuan laughed: "Sect Master Nan is still dreaming. You hurt Master's most beloved disciple, and you still expect Master to have mercy on you."
Nan Liujing clenched his fist silently.
Bei Liyuan smiled faintly: "Nan Liujing, don't you understand yet? To Master, you are now just an ordinary stranger. Look at what happened yesterday. Master didn't even give you a chance to explain. I really don't understand what you are still expecting."
"What on earth do you want to say?!"
Bei Liyuan picked up a cake and handed it over: "You begged for mercy like this, but in the end you couldn't even get a glance from your master. Nan Liujing, don't you understand? You're out."
Nan Liujing was silent.
"Oh, there's one more thing I need to tell you. Master has already agreed to let me move in. Thanks to that slap you gave me last night, I acted coquettishly and pretended to be weak, and Master agreed to everything I wanted. Just now, I even secretly kissed Master while he was asleep..."
Nan Liujing said solemnly, "Bei Liyuan! Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Bei Liyuan raised his eyebrows and curled his lips in provocation: "Do you... dare?"
As he said this, he stuffed the cake into Nan Liujing's hand and said softly, "Sect Master Nan, I made this cake recently. It's my fault for what happened yesterday. I made you suffer the punishment..."
Nan Liujing said coldly: "Who wants your cakes?"
As he said this, he threw the pastry far away, but unexpectedly, Bei Liyuan also fell to the ground.
Li Youyang then walked over and helped Bei Liyuan up, looking at Nan Liujing with cold eyes: "Why is Sect Master Nan still here?"
Nan Liujing kowtowed: "Master..."
Li Youyang said coldly, "I've already said that our respected master has died in a blood sacrifice. Sect Master Nan, please leave Chengyan Palace."
Nan Liujing was about to say something, but Li Youyang had already turned to Bei Liyuan and asked in a warm and concerned voice, "Does it hurt?"
Bei Liyuan shook his head. "It doesn't hurt, Master. I saw Sect Master Nan kneeling here, so I went to get him some refreshments. Unfortunately, he didn't like them, so I just threw them away. Master, my fall is not Sect Master Nan's fault. I didn't stand firmly, so please don't blame him."
Nan Liujing finally couldn't help himself and said coldly, "Enough! Bei Liyuan, I didn't even touch you just now. What else can you do besides pretending to be pitiful and trying to gain sympathy?"
Bei Liyuan pretended to be confused and said aggrievedly, "Master Nan, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Is it my fault that I brought you cakes? I've already said that you are not to blame for what happened last night or today. What else do you want? Yes, you are the master of the world's largest sect, so you should always be reasonable. What you said is really hurtful."
Nan Liujing looked at Li Youyang: "Master, I didn't do that. Bei Liyuan deliberately provoked me last night, and I attacked him in desperation. But Bei Liyuan's cultivation level meant he could have avoided it. And I didn't even touch him just now. He fell on purpose. Master, it's really him..."
Li Youyang asked coldly, "So?"
Nan Liujing was stunned. So what? Yeah, wouldn't Master be able to see through this little trick? What on earth was he expecting? He was already a sinner, and he was still expecting Master to punish others for him!
Li Youyang turned his head to look at Bei Liyuan: "Just for this, I took a palm strike on purpose."
Bei Liyuan lowered his head: "Disciple is worried."
Li Youyang frowned: "If you have the energy to worry, you might as well spend your time on cultivation. After entering the Ancient Mystic Realm, have you made any progress in your cultivation?"
Nangong Liuchu heard Li Youyang scolding Bei Liyuan and quickly turned around. Li Youyang said in a deep voice, "Nangong Liuchu, why are you running?!"
Nangong Liuchu hurried over and bowed respectfully: "No... I suddenly remembered something that needs to be dealt with..."
"Have you made any progress in your cultivation since returning from the secret realm?"
"No."
"Why are you still wandering around here? Why don't you go and practice? Bei Liyuan, you should go too. I think this is just for you guys to have some free time."
The two of them quickly bowed and turned to leave. Li Youyang also returned to the study and never looked at Nan Liujing again from beginning to end.
Nan Liujing clenched his fist silently. He didn't believe that Li Youyang could really let go of the friendship of hundreds of years.
…
The next morning, when Li Youyang opened the door, he saw Nan Liujing standing outside holding the Thousand-Leaf Lotus. "Master, look, the Thousand-Leaf Lotus knows we're raising it, and it's so happy it's bloomed another flower this morning."
Li Youyang was a little dazed. This was the scene on the second day after he brought back the Thousand-Leaf Lotus. Nan Liujing happily held it in his arms for him to see.
While he was stunned, the fox spirit raised by Nangong Liuchu suddenly pounced over and took a bite of the lotus, eating it with relish.
Li Youyang came back to his senses. Nangong Liuchu hurried over and picked up the spirit fox, his face full of guilt. "Master Nan, I'm really sorry. I didn't keep an eye on the little guy. I'll compensate you with whatever spirit stones you want for this Thousand-Leaf Lotus."
Nan Liujing looked at the fox spirit with a darkened expression: "Nine-tailed fox spirits are very rare."
Nangong Liuchu curled his lips and looked at Li Youyang: "Master saw that I liked it, so he got me one. This little guy is very human, I like him very much."
Nan Liujing clenched his fist silently: "Master gave it to you."
Nangong Liuchu nodded.
Nan Liujing knew it wasn't Nangong Liuchu's intention, but he couldn't help but feel jealous! Back then, he'd loved the Nine-Tailed Fox, and Li Youyang had tried to catch it for him, but unfortunately, he hadn't been able to catch it. Now, he'd given it to Nangong Liuchu. So, what was he to Li Youyang? Or was he actually nothing special? As long as they were his disciples, he would be favored by his master!
A smile flashed across Nangong Liuchu's eyes. His goal had been achieved. If he provoked her any further, she would definitely lose her composure.
Thinking of this, Nangong Liuchu summoned the demigod weapon and looked at the fox spirit, deliberately threatening it: "Little guy, if you keep being so naughty, I'll beat you up."
Nan Liujing: "Demigod's weapon?"
Nangong Liuchu hummed, "Master found it specially for me."
Nan Liujing clenched his fist silently, then loosened his hand somewhat powerlessly. Just a sword and a spiritual pet could make others so grateful, but how could he compare to these? The kindness of his master to him was incomparable to these. Back then, his master would try his best to get him whatever he wanted. He didn't catch the nine-tailed fox, but his master turned around and caught several higher-level spiritual beasts for him to choose from. As for treasures and demigod artifacts, he didn't know how many he had melted!
At that time, he asked for the extremely cold ice flame, and his master went to the extremely cold place regardless of the danger, and gave him the ice flame that night. He was only busy playing with the ice flame at the time, but he didn't know how badly injured his master had suffered. It was not until after his master died that he went there in person and realized how difficult it was to obtain that thing.
There are also Nine Ghost Ganoderma, Soul-Calling Orbs, Hell Crystals, Candle Dragon Blood... There are really too many, but what did he do to this person who had given his heart to him? He never knew how to be grateful, and just took everything for granted. It was not until the moment he lost it that he suddenly realized what he had lost!
Thinking of this, his dark eyes became misty and tears unconsciously slid down the corners of his eyes.
Nangong Liuchu, who had been waiting for Nan Liujing to go crazy, was stunned and started crying! Was she... crying because he was mad at her?
Li Youyang frowned. He hated seeing others cry, but he also didn't want to have any more disputes with Nan Liujing. "Nangong Liuchu, go find a thousand-petal lotus to compensate Sect Master Nan."
Nangong Liuchu said "oh".
Li Youyang said in a deep voice: "Let's go now."
Nangong Liuchu uttered another "oh" and hurriedly flew away on his sword.
After Nangong Liu left, Nan Liujing knelt down and choked up, saying, "Master, I really know I was wrong. Please don't deny me. From now on, no matter what you say, I will listen..."
Li Youyang interrupted coldly: "Master Nan, I have already said that although we have the same name and surname, I dare not compare myself with the Youyang Divine Lord."
Nan Liujing: "Master..."
Li Youyang's eyes darkened: "I don't want to repeat the same words again."
