Ji Shiyan failed to send Li Yiru there, and was worried that if he insisted on following her, it would affect her. After all, it is best to keep a calm mind in the secret city.
Her attitude of treating elders with respect but often wanting to avoid them made Ji Shiyan feel that this could not go on.
He is a man of forward-thinking nature and doesn't like to procrastinate. Once he has a goal, he will act quickly.
Seeing that he was about to leave the sect, Yunxiao asked him to help teach a class and casually asked what he was doing. Ji Shiyan replied naturally, "Oh, I want to pick up Li Yirou."
"No, brother, you'll give people misunderstandings if you do this, okay?" Yunxiao felt that he suddenly had a Taoist child and treated her like a younger sister, doting on her too much.
Although he has a higher seniority due to his good cultivation, he is actually about the same age as Li Yiru.
Ji Shiyan is so special to her that he has to pick her up personally even when going to a secret place. This is not good.
"What's the misunderstanding?" Ji Shiyan was a little confused.
"You treat her so well, aren't you worried that you might attract the young female cultivator's heart?!" Yun Xiao patted his broad shoulders and continued earnestly, "Brother, look at you!"
"You don't like talking to strangers and deliberately keep a cold face, but even so, there are people who confess their feelings to you. You're so good to Li Yirou, what if she insists on marrying you? Aren't you delaying her?"
Yunxiao felt that since Ji Shiyan grew taller, with his face, to be fair, even he would have to stay away from him for a while.
If he treats a female cultivator like this again, it would be a sin.
"Really?" Ji Shiyan thought for a while and seemed to understand. Yunxiao finally showed an approving expression that showed that the boy was teachable.
Unexpectedly, he continued, "That's good. Thank you, Brother Yun."
After saying that, Ji Shiyan left the sect and went to the teleportation array in the city.
Yunxiao didn't react for a moment, and when he saw him continue to pick someone up, he shook his head. Why couldn't he persuade him...
Wait, what did he just say! [That's good]?! [Thank you]?! What does that mean?
Ji Shiyan fell in love for the first time and fell in love with a girl with mixed spiritual roots?!
.
Only then did Li Yirou realize that after returning from the Western Territory, his eyes, which always seemed cold, now had a hint of tenderness.
She thought that because she was his Taoist child, he treated her better than others.
But at this moment he suddenly said that it was not because his senior sister sent him a communication talisman, but because he wanted to come here on his own initiative.
Why? This made Li Yirou a little confused.
The moon had not yet set, and silver frost sprinkled on them. Li Yirou's eyes fell on his face. For some reason, she suddenly thought of a brief conversation she had with several members of the Feihong team about dual cultivation.
At that time, An Sheng also made a wish, hoping that a female cultivator with a golden elixir level would fall from the sky and inexplicably practice dual cultivation with him to help him improve his cultivation.
Now the opportunity is in front of Li Yiru. Although he does not have such exaggerated cultivation, he is a real cultivator with a single spiritual root.
Under the gaze of Li Yirou's lively eyes, the tips of his ears turned slightly red and his heartbeat gradually became faster than usual, with nervousness and anticipation.
She seemed a little uncertain, and her mood finally began to change, but with a hint of sadness. Ji Shiyan felt that perhaps he should express himself more clearly, "I..."
"Uncle Master, I have a Taoist partner." Li Yiru stopped him from finishing his words.
Out of curiosity, she had indeed looked up some information about dual cultivation techniques, which could indeed improve cultivation and were more effective than taking elixirs, but they also needed to be stabilized.
Not only that, dual cultivation also has many steps. The first step is to practice together. Practicing together does not necessarily require a Taoist partner. Like her and Jingfan, who were friends who trusted each other, they could feel the wood spirit energy together, which could also be considered a kind of practice together.
It’s just that men and women are more likely to be attracted to each other. For example, when she and Li Yi practice together, it’s easy for their spiritual energy to interact.
Then comes the second step, communicating spiritual power with each other, which requires the assistance of some intimate behaviors.
Next, it is possible that the body and mind will be affected, leading to the fusion of spiritual consciousness, and each will display the other's spiritual platform without reservation, reaching the highest level of dual cultivation, the fusion of spirit and soul, which is the so-called unity of body and soul.
This made Li Yiru resist, and the secret of her space might be exposed.
Although protecting a common secret may help deepen love when you are in love, once something unexpected happens and love turns to hate, it will be a sharp sword.
Li Yiru and Ji Shiyan had no emotional foundation and had known each other for a short time. They were probably simply attracted to each other by their looks. The other party's cultivation was much higher than hers, so Li Yiru felt no sense of security at all.
Only then did she understand why Fu Xiaolu had looked at Fang Ye in the first place. Perhaps she had also considered that having someone with a lower cultivation level than her would make people feel at ease.
When Li Yirou discovered Ji Shiyan's feelings, the image of a reckless young man emerged in her mind, and she felt a little sad.
She thought about the hallucinations about him that appeared in the secret realm of the maze city, and she must have been a little concerned. Overall, the benefits brought by Ji Shiyan could not outweigh the potential dangers, so Li Yirou did not have time to think too much and subconsciously rejected him.
Ji Shiyan paused, "Then...why didn't he come with you?"
Li Yirou had already mastered the same question that Fu Xiaolu's teammate Xia Hongyan had asked her at the time: "He unfortunately passed away during a training session..."
Others might think that no living person can ever compare to the dead in her heart, and therefore hesitate to leave, but Ji Shiyan is not such a person.
Once you are dead, you are dead. Everything is blank and you can never get as much as the living can.
Moreover, Ji Shiyan felt that she was lying when she said she had a Taoist partner, and he didn't care even if it was true.
From now on, it will be him who will be by her side, sharing her joys and sorrows with him. Even if that person now occupies more than half of her heart, he can squeeze him out little by little until only a few memories are left in the end.
Sometimes I feel a little regretful when I think about it, but in the end I will be replaced by him.
"It's okay, I'll walk out with you slowly." Li Yiru turned her face away under the gentle gaze of Ji Shiyan's eyes. She couldn't tell that she was lying. Was she doing it on purpose?
But according to Li Yiru's analysis, he shouldn't do that!
If Ji Shiyan thought what she said was true, he should mind that she once had someone she deeply loved; if he thought what she said was false, then shouldn't he be even more angry and think that she was ungrateful for using such an excuse to evade him with a useless spiritual root?
Things didn't develop as she expected. Li Yirou turned her gaze away and said, "But I won't love again..."
After I said this, I realized that my acting skills were still not good enough. It was okay to think about it, but when I said it, I still felt smug.
"It's okay, I don't care about that. I just want to be good to you."
Ever since she said she had a Taoist partner, her sadness disappeared, and her statement about never falling in love again seemed fake.
He just said it casually, and she really started to stroke her hair awkwardly after hearing it.
Ji Shiyan smiled, but quickly put it away. He had already made his feelings clear today, asking her not to treat him as an elder. He didn't want to continue with the other conversation for now, or it would be annoying.
