(The previous chapter has been revised, so I will read it again if it doesn’t connect to the previous one)

This question made Hua Xiangwan a little confused.

Why can others do it but he can't?

She thought about it and thought that maybe it was because no one else had ever hurt her.

But since Xie Changji was going to go with her, there was no need to say these unpleasant words.

Unable to persuade Xie Changji, she was too lazy to persuade him anymore, so she closed her eyes, pulled the quilt tightly around her, and slept until dawn.

The next day, she vaguely heard the sound of tea. She woke up in a daze and saw a figure pouring tea on the screen. She was so scared that she jumped up.

"Awake?"

Xie Changji's voice came from outside. Hua Xiangwan calmed down and said, "Morning...Morning."

"Lingnan."

Xie Changji stood up and called the person outside: "Come in."

As he was speaking, the door creaked and many people rushed in. Lingnan took the maid and went behind the screen, helping Hua Xiangwan to get up.

Xie Changji turned his back to her and told her where he was going: "I'm going to go get some people and say goodbye to my uncle."

"oh."

Hua Xiangwan nodded, and Xie Changji walked out.

Hua Xiangwan simply washed up, then led the group out with Lingnan.

Both Hehuan Palace and Tianjian Sect have already counted their people and are ready. One hundred disciples of Tianjian Sect are already in place, both male and female, all dressed in blue and holding swords, exuding a righteous spirit.

Seeing Hua Xiangwan coming out, the disciple bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Grandmother."

Hearing this title, Hua Xiangwan's heart trembled.

Although two hundred years is not a short time, there are only a few people who can achieve the same level as our master.

Hua Xiangwan nodded awkwardly, and followed Ling Bei's lead to board the spiritual boat.

Since there were many people returning to the Western Territory this time, the Tianjian Sect directly gave them a spirit boat.

This thing is extremely fast and can carry a lot of stuff. The only drawback is that it costs money.

It consumes spirit stones to operate, it costs money to build it, and it costs money to use it. Anyway, Hehuan Palace can't afford this thing now.

But if the Tianjian Sect wanted to use it, Hua Xiangwan would naturally be happy to do so.

She followed Ling Bei into the cabin, opened the window, and saw Kunxuzi and Xie Changji walking out.

He changed into a new set of clothes. Although it was not the wedding suit he wore yesterday, it was still the extremely festive red color. Hua Xiangwan was in no mood to see him yesterday, and now she was bored. When she saw him suddenly, she couldn't take her eyes off him.

Speaking of which, Xie Changji was indeed the only beauty she had ever seen in her life.

More than two hundred years have passed, and if she sees it again now, she will still be surprised.

His facial features are not delicate and perfect, and even a little dull, but when put together, they have a kind of elegance and refinement like a landscape ink painting.

He has been practicing asceticism since childhood, and has a bit of otherworldly air. Normally, when he holds the sword, it is like a cold sword unsheathed, making people afraid to get close to him. Now that he wears a red shirt and puts away the edge, he is like a banished immortal, like a nobleman going out for a trip, making him even more approachable.

Kunxuzi had been telling Xie Changji something, and Xie Changji nodded repeatedly, very patiently.

Hua Xiangwan's gaze was fixed on him. Xie Changji seemed to sense it and looked up from a distance. When their eyes met, Hua Xiangwan realized what she had done and quickly looked away, looking to the side.

Just by looking and dodging like this, she actually felt guilty as if she had done something wrong.

Kunxuzi accompanied Xie Changji all the way to the spirit boat, and when they arrived at the door, he was still nagging.

"Among the 100 disciples, Suiwen and Changsheng are the most afraid of the dark. When you lead them to a dark place, be sure to put them in the middle. As for you, I have prepared 300 Qingxin Pills and 900 Fuyuan Pills for you. They are all in your bag. Don't be bothered. Take the medicine when you need to."

"I have prepared a hundred sets of clothes for you, in all colors. When you arrive at Hehuan Palace, you don't have to wear a Taoist robe every day. Remember to wear something nice."

"and……"

“Ahem.”

Seeing that Kunxuzi was talking endlessly, Hua Xiangwan could not help but cough. Kunxuzi heard the sound and turned around. She put her hand on the window and smiled to remind Kunxuzi outside the door: "Elder Kun, if you send him off, I am afraid that Lord Qingheng will have to wait until he ascends to heaven and experiences the tribulation."

After Kunxuzi heard this, he glanced at Xie Changji hesitantly. Xie Changji stood there with his eyes lowered, without any dissatisfaction.

But Kunxuzi also knew that the journey could not be delayed, so he thought about it, walked up to Hua Xiangwan and bowed.

Hua Xiangwan was frightened and hurried to help Kun Xuzi: "Elder Kun, we can talk it over."

"Young Master Hua," Kunxuzi stood up with her help, sighed, and pleaded, "Our headmaster Ji is devoted to practicing Taoism and doesn't know how to take care of many worldly affairs. When we arrive at Hehuan Palace, I trouble you to take care of us."

“Understood.”

Hua Xiangwan held Kunxuzi's hand and nodded quickly.

Which sect's strongest person is in charge of worldly things?

She knew Kunxuzi was worried, so she promised earnestly: "Don't worry, since I'm taking him to the Western Territory, I will definitely take good care of him."

"And the one hundred disciples..."

"Don't worry," Hua Xiangwan promised solemnly, "I will only borrow it for one year. After one year, I will definitely return it to you in good condition. Of course, if there is any accident, I will definitely remember the enemy for you."

Hearing this, Kunxuzi's face changed.

He seemed to want to regret it, but when he thought of the excitement and excitement in the eyes of those Jindan disciples, he gritted his teeth and finally nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you, young master. Changji," Kunxuzi said, turning around and holding Xie Changji's hand. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke, "Protect the disciples in the sect. I'm leaving."

After saying that, Kunxuzi shook off his hand, turned around and left.

Xie Changji saw Kunxuzi leaving, turned around and told Jiang Yiran who was standing outside the door: "Let's go."

"yes."

Jiang Yiran responded and hurried down to do his work.

When Hua Xiangwan heard the voice, she realized that Jiang Yiran had also followed her this time.

She couldn't help but feel curious, so she turned to look at Xie Changji: "Is Shen Xiuwen here?"

Xie Changji paused for a moment, then said calmly, "He's not coming."

Hua Xiangwan nodded, remembering that Shen Xiuwen was injured.

Otherwise, logically speaking, Jiang Yiran is a direct disciple of the Sixth Peak and is young, so this kind of position of handling miscellaneous matters should be given to Shen Xiuwen, who is used to it.

She thought about it and couldn't help but feel concerned: "Is his injury okay?"

"Yeah." Xie Changji nodded, "Very good."

Hua Xiangwan felt relieved, and then she heard Xie Changji emphasize: "He just doesn't want to come."

Hua Xiangwan was stunned. She always felt that there was something else behind these words.

However, Xie Changji did not explain much. He walked to the cushion next to him, lifted his robe, sat on it, and began to meditate.

At this time, the spirit boat started up. Hua Xiangwan watched the spirit boat soaring into the sky with the clouds and mist. He held up his chin and looked at the scenery outside, but the scenery outside was not very good. After thinking about it, he simply entered into a state of meditation as well.

She doesn't have a golden elixir, and entering into a state of meditation is purely for training her spiritual consciousness. This is how she has spent the past few years.

Xie Changji seemed to notice her movements. He closed his eyes slightly and after thinking for a moment, he spoke calmly, "Hua Xiangwan."

Hua Xiangwan was a little surprised when he called her. She opened her eyes and saw Xie Changji sitting on the futon, looking at her calmly: "Come here."

Hua Xiangwan heard this, even though she didn't understand what he was going to sit on, she still stood up and walked over to him.

Xie Changji lowered his eyes to the futon and said softly, "Sit down."

Hua Xiangwan followed his instructions and sat down across from Xie Changji, looking a little amused: "What are you sitting for? Discussing the Dao?"

"Give me your hand."

Xie Changji stretched out his hand, and Hua Xiangwan roughly understood what he was going to do when he heard it.

She felt inexplicably nervous, but still reached out her hand.

Xie Changji raised his hand and placed it on her pulse, then used his spiritual power to carefully move around her body.

Hua Xiangwan lowered her eyes and said nothing. After waiting for a moment, Xie Changji spoke softly, "Your golden elixir is almost broken."

"Um."

Hua Xiangwan knew her own situation: "I used a magical medicine to barely keep myself afloat, I should have broken long ago."

"The tendons and veins are blocked and their functioning is not smooth."

"It was all sewn together inch by inch." Hua Xiangwan smiled bitterly, "It's good enough that it works. What else do you want?"

Hearing this, Xie Changji raised his eyes, as if he disagreed.

Hua Xiangwan knew that he didn't like this kind of talk, so she just said, "It's already like this."

"Let me help you."

Xie Changji opened his mouth and Hua Xiangwan paused.

But before she could think about it, she heard Xie Changji say, "I will control the spiritual power to enter your veins and clear the blocked and sticky areas. The process may be a little painful."

I have thought of using spiritual power to break open the blocked and sticky areas in the tendons and veins before.

But firstly, it requires the performer to have a very high level of control over the spiritual power. Secondly, her tendons are much wider than those of ordinary people, and it is difficult for ordinary people to achieve this with their spiritual power.

However, those who could do this in Hehuan Palace were no longer around, except for her mother, who had failed to survive the calamity that year and suffered backlash, making it difficult for her to complete the task.

She was worried about handing it over to outsiders, so she kept putting it off until today.

She thought for a moment and nodded. Xie Changji stretched out his hands and held her hands.

After a while, spiritual power slowly entered her body and gathered in one place like a stream.

His spiritual power is like him, somewhat cool and inexplicably calming.

The places where tendons and veins are stuck together are not completely impossible to pass through, but they become extremely narrow.

Xie Changji filled her veins with spiritual power and came to the first sticky spot.

He controlled his spiritual power very precisely, and Hua Xiangwan did not feel any discomfort. She closed her eyes and felt the comfort brought by the nourishment of spiritual power.

She hadn't felt this kind of spiritual energy filling her veins for many years.

Xie Changji realized that it was almost time, and called her name slowly: "Hua Xiangwan."

"Um?"

"How long will it take to cross the Dingli Sea?"

"It took five days at the fastest and an endless amount of time at the slowest," Hua Xiangwan said, somewhat amused, "mainly because I couldn't find the direction. When I first came to Yunlai, I was alone..."

Before he could finish his words, Xie Changji's spiritual power suddenly rushed towards the sticky place, causing severe pain, and Hua Xiangwan's face changed drastically due to the pain.

Xie Changji held her hand and asked calmly, "How about being alone?"

"A person..." Hua Xiangwan's voice was a little trembling, "A person drifted on the sea for three months before he found the way."

"What happened next?"

Xie Changji asked, and Hua Xiangwan came over slowly and whispered, "Later, when we got ashore, it was the first time I saw such a beautiful place, with green mountains, clear water, and a small river and a curved bridge."

"Is there none in the Western Territory?"

"No, the western border is mostly desert, with endless yellow sand all year round, blocking out the sky and the sun."

As Hua Xiangwan was talking, she suddenly remembered, "Why do you keep calling me Hua Xiangwan?"

"I want to call your name."

Instead of telling me lies.

When Hua Xiangwan heard this, she understood the meaning behind his words.

Before I could say anything more, the second severe pain came.

After breaking through ten sticky places in a row, Hua Xiangwan finally couldn't bear it anymore, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell directly on Xie Changji's shoulder.

She rested her head on his shoulder, breathing softly.

Xie Changji hesitated for a moment, let go of her hand, and dared not move again.

She was covered in cold sweat and her lips were pale. Outside, the stars were hanging high in the sky. Xie Changji's hands were trembling slightly due to the pain.

"You have a total of 342 blocked areas," he said in a hoarse voice, feeling the heat and breath coming from the woman's body.

"Um."

"You have to be patient."

"No problem."

The two men didn't speak, they were very close to each other.

She vaguely felt that his breathing seemed a little disordered, but she couldn't tell whether it was her illusion.

He was originally a dual cultivation master who came to nourish her golden elixir...

The thought suddenly popped into her mind, and for a moment, she felt that the person in front of her seemed unusually hot.

The night in the cave suddenly came to my mind. I vaguely remembered the flames trembling slightly, flickering.

He was usually so cold, but he was so hot that she was a little scared.

She vaguely felt that he seemed to want to do something, but the pain made it difficult for her to wake up.

After a long time, the pain gradually subsided and Hua Xiangwan gradually regained consciousness.

He leaned against Xie Changji, panting and looking up: "Are you okay?"

Xie Changji's forehead was also covered in sweat. Such a long period of precise control of spiritual energy consumed a lot. His face was a little pale and he nodded: "Yes."

Both of them seemed to be pulled out of the water. Hua Xiangwan had no strength left and leaned on him. After a moment of stalemate, he heard her breathing slow down and Xie Changji said, "I'll go to the purification room to add more water."

As he said this, he raised his hand to support her and stood up.

There was no emotion on his face, no different from usual. Hua Xiangwan listened to the sound of water in the purification room and slowly calmed down.

After a while, Xie Changji walked out of the meditation room. He still looked undisturbed by the secular world, like a jade Buddha, not stained by a speck of dust.

Hua Xiangwan felt a little ashamed for a moment, and inexplicably felt that she had really lost her mind due to the pain just now.

How could a person like Xie Changji, who was as pure as snow, have the kind of thoughts that she just had?

She felt sorry for Xie Changji and lowered her head silently.

"alright."

Xie Changji spoke, and Hua Xiangwan nodded quickly, stood up with the help of the incense table, and went to the purification room by herself.

Xie Changji did not stay in the room. He walked out and closed the door. Subconsciously, he wanted to use a barrier to block the sound inside, but he was worried that something might happen.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally stood at the door, motionless, closing his eyes and reciting the Pure Heart Sutra.

But he could still clearly hear the rustling of clothes, the sound of water, and even the woman's sigh of comfort.

His Adam's apple moved slightly.

He leaned against the door and waited for a long time before he heard Hua Xiangwan call him, "Okay."
