Chapter 33 Chapter 33 What is our relationship?
Wei Xin spent an unknown amount of time there. His physical condition improved slightly. He no longer had any difficulty moving and his eyes could see the outline of things again.
And Yun Du no longer had to watch over him day and night these days. He only came to see him in the early morning and evening, and left after transferring his spiritual power.
During the day, Wei Xin would go out to the yard to bask in the sun, and from time to time he would inquire about the situation outside.
"The Qingguan Sect joined forces with other major sects to go to Canghe to investigate the matter of Gui Luomen. Except for a few of us who survived, no one knew the truth." Xique said.
"What about Xuanji Sect?"
"I don't know. I don't dare to go too far away from here. I heard this secretly from a few Xuanji Sect disciples. I haven't found out any news about Xuanji Sect."
Wei Xin nodded: "What has Nan Huang been doing these days?"
"Besides meditating to heal my wounds, I'm going to fight with those two people from the Qingguan Sect." Xique said in a low voice.
Wei Xin frowned.
The two finally met, and it was unknown whether Nan Huang would still fall in love with Xu Shun.
"That kid's skills are getting stronger day by day. I'm afraid he's a nuisance. Do you want me to..."
"No need. We are in Qingguan Sect now. Do you think you can hurt him?" Wei Xin waved his hands, rocked the rocking chair, and continued to bask in the sun.
After a while, I heard footsteps approaching.
"Wei Xin."
The rocking chair paused for a moment, then continued to rock. Wei Xin asked without even raising his head: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Thank you for your guidance in the secret realm, and thank you for the opportunity you brought me. Now I have become Master Yundu's disciple." Wen Jingcheng said.
"Um."
Wei Xin saw that he hadn't left yet, so he asked curiously, "Anything else?"
"I have something I don't understand, and I want to ask you."
"What?"
Wen Jingcheng took a step forward and asked in a low voice: "What is your relationship with Master Yundu? How should I address you in the past? Should I address you by your name, or should I address you as Master..."
"What's our relationship? What can we have?!" Wei Xin slammed his chair and stood up, pointing at him and scolding, "People who practice cultivation should not meddle in other people's business. If you want to meddle, go and take care of your shameless master!"
"Yes, I understand."
"What do you understand?"
"You are angry because of shame. There must be something between you two." Wen Jingcheng said.
"... Stop talking nonsense! It was obviously him - forget it, forget it, I won't tell you, I'll go and settle the score with him directly! He is simply destroying my reputation!"
Wei Xin went to look for Yun Du in a rage, but he couldn't find anyone in any of the houses.
"Where did he go?"
"Healing in the back mountain." Wen Jingcheng said.
"Treatment?" Wei Xin frowned slightly and touched his wrist subconsciously.
Come to think of it, Yundu took Yan Xiu's attack for him and destroyed the Earth Netherworld Formation, so it is impossible for him to be unscathed.
And supplying him with spiritual energy every day would inevitably consume his spirit.
No wonder I have been visiting him less these days.
Wei Xin walked towards the back mountain alone, and Wen Jingcheng tactfully stopped Xique who wanted to follow him.
There was a bamboo forest in the back mountain, towering and dense. Wei Xin had poor eyesight and almost failed to distinguish the person dressed in green. He only felt a deep and pure internal force that condensed the wind around him. The bamboo leaves drooped silently without being blown at all.
Everything was eerily quiet.
He seemed to be able to hear Yun Du's soft breathing.
It felt just like the breath that had hit his face that day on the bed.
"......"
Wei Xin shook his head and looked carefully, only to see Yun Du sitting upright in the forest practicing his skills, without even noticing the sound of his footsteps.
The sky gradually became overcast.
Feeling a little cold, Wei Xin rubbed his arms and found that Yun Du had gathered his inner strength and was walking towards him.
"Why are you here?" Yundu held his hand and took him back.
Wei Xin felt the true energy transmitted by him, and the coldness in his body was dispelled, making him feel extremely warm.
He moved his wrist, pulled his hand back, and said, "I came to say goodbye to you."
Yun Du paused and said, "Saying goodbye? Do you still want to return to Xuanji Sect?"
"Yes, we have stayed here for too long. Xuanji Sect has many things to deal with, and Yan Lin's soul must be returned to her body as soon as possible."
Yundu looked at him quietly.
Wei Xin lowered his head and blinked slowly: "It's not a good idea to hide here. Rather than being discovered and attacked by the people of Qingguan Sect, it's better to go back. No matter how poor Xuanji Sect is, it's safer than here."
"I told you, I can protect you here." Yun Du said in a deep voice, with an imperceptible urgency in his tone.
"I don't need your protection. This is not the first time I've been injured. I have experience. Besides, this time I just lost my internal energy, and I haven't gone crazy yet. It's much better than before." Wei Xin said, raising his head, "You still owe me something. Since you are unwilling to join the Xuanji Sect no matter what, then let me go back. This matter does not violate your so-called morality."
The two men confronted each other silently, the wind in the forest blowing their hair and robes. Wei Xin turned aside and left first. After a moment, he heard footsteps behind him, neither fast nor slow, neither far nor near, just two meters behind him.
There was a sound of fighting in the courtyard. Nan Huang was fighting with Xu Shun. When he saw him coming back, he immediately stopped fighting and chased after him, saying, "My Lord, the long sword you gave me last time was broken in the secret cave. Can you give me another one? Once I have trained my long sword well, I will be able to use it to cut this guy into pieces!"
"Go back to Xuanji Sect and go to the warehouse to choose a weapon that suits you." Wei Xin said tiredly.
“Thank you, my lord!” Nan Huang raised his eyebrows proudly at Xi Que.
"Oh, you guys actually want to practice swordplay too." Xu Shun said, "You want to practice swordplay, but you want to break your sword. For a sword practitioner, breaking or losing a sword is a great shame."
As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it and looked at Yun Du subconsciously: "Master... Master Linfeng, that's not what I meant."
Wei Xin looked at Yun Du in confusion, but Yun Du's expression remained unchanged and no one knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, the sword in Xu Shun's hand was hooked away by Nan Huang's whip.
“Oh no, your sword is lost. What should I do? Are you going to hang yourself to commit suicide with the sword?” Nan Huang said with a smile.
"You! Witch, return the sword to me now, or I will be merciless!"
"How pedantic! I can use any weapon I want, no matter if it's a sword, a whip or a thorn. In my hand, it's all a sharp weapon. But you insist on using rules to restrict yourself. No wonder your Qingguan Sect is getting worse with each generation."
Xu Shun was so angry that he was about to retort but was interrupted by Yun Du.
"Sticking to conventions and being stubborn and rigid are indeed the shortcomings of the Qingguan Sect. I didn't expect Miss Nanhuang to be so insightful at such a young age."
Nan Huang smiled, feeling proud: "I am just repeating the words of the Lord. He said long ago that if the Qingguan Sect continues like this, we won't even have to do anything and it will fall apart."
Wei Xin thought that was in the past, and the situation is different now. He glanced at Yun Du and said, "Nan Huang, return the sword to him."
"My Lord?"
"Let's go back to Xuanji Sect."
“Okay.” Nan Huang reluctantly threw the sword to Xu Shun.
Xique disagreed, and when no one was around, he secretly discussed with Wei Xin: "My Lord, Master Linfeng can use his spiritual power to heal your injuries directly, and you will recover very quickly. There will be no outsiders to disturb you for the time being, so staying here is the best choice."
"Do you think his spiritual power is inexhaustible?"
Xique was stunned for a moment before he understood and looked at him in surprise - it turns out that the master can also feel sorry for others?
In fact, there was nothing to pack. His original clothes had long been stained with blood and had been thrown away. He was wearing Yundu's clothes, and there was nothing else to take away.
He took out the Qiankun Lock and released Yan Lin's soul.
"Brother Wei Xin..." Yan Lin called him with a dying breath, his soul almost transparent, his expression sad, "How is brother? Is he still alive?"
"He can still be saved, but we have to wait for some time. I will take you back to Xuanji Sect first, and then come to see him after you recover." Wei Xin said.
"Can I see him?"
Wei Xin took her to see Yun Du, who was explaining the internal skills to Xu Shun and Wen Jingcheng. When he saw him coming, he opened the door to welcome him.
"Yan Lin wants to meet Yan Xiu, can she..." Before she finished her words, Yan Lin called out.
"Ah! So, so many..." Yan Lin's eyes slid past the three of them, and he closed his eyes and passed out.
"What's wrong with her?" Xu Shun asked.
Wei Xin's mouth twitched: "I saw too many handsome men at once, and I was so happy that I passed out."
Three people: "......"
“I’ll do it.” Nan Huang pinched her soul and slapped her, “Wake up.”
Yan Lin woke up slowly, but his voice became a little rough: "Nan Huang, when I recover my body, I will - ah! You dare to hit me! Ah! Ahhhhh!"
Nan Huang slapped "her" again, slapping her to death until the real Yan Lin woke up.
Three people: "......"
“Wuwuwu, I’m sorry, Sister Nanhuang, please stop hitting me…”
"Okay, bring her in, and all of you go out." Yun Du said.
After closing the door, Yan Lin grabbed Wei Xin's clothes, but he couldn't get hold of them. A head popped up from behind him: "Excuse me...where is my brother?"
"Here. After his soul returns to its place, he will be able to come back to see you. But by then he may have changed into a new body." Yun Du said, pointing to a vase.
Wei Xin: “…”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as he can come back!" Yan Lin ran to the vase happily, "Can I talk to him alone?"
"Can."
Yun Du and Wei Xin left the room, and Xu Shun and Nan Huang started fighting again outside the door.
Wei Xin looked at the sword in Xu Shun's hand.
The Qingguan Sect forged countless famous swords, and all inner disciples had their own swords, which they would also name, such as Xu Shun's Guihong Sword and Yun Jin's Fengpo Sword.
However, Yundu rarely uses swords, and when he does, he only uses an ordinary long sword.
Before, he only thought that it was because the other party was very skilled in Taoism and would not easily show his sword, but after hearing what Xu Shun accidentally said just now, it was obvious that there was another reason.
"Where's your sword?" he asked straight to the point. "Tianchen thinks so highly of you, he would definitely give you a sword. Why have I never seen you use it?"
"It's broken." Yun Du said.
"How did it break?"
"I was young and ignorant, and I didn't know how high the heavens were or how deep the earth was. I learned a lesson."
Wei Xin said with a smile: "Didn't Chen punish you that day?"
"I was locked up for twenty years." Yun Du said with a sad face.
Wei Xin couldn't help laughing: "I said you have been practicing in seclusion for so many years, isn't it because you have been locked up all the time?"
"You're not that stupid, you fool." Yun Du touched his head, looked at his smile, and the corners of his mouth curled up unnaturally.
"Really?"
"That's about right."
Although it was a little absurd, it seemed normal for him. Wei Xin really didn't expect that he thought he was a mysterious master, but it turned out to be a bad disciple who was punished and imprisoned for many years.
The smile on his face deepened.
"Brother Wei Xin, Brother Wei Xin..." Yan Lin shouted from inside.
Wei Xin opened the door, and Yan Linpiao came up to him: "Brother Wei Xin, I have finished talking to my brother."
"Well, let's go." Wei Xin took out the Qiankun Lock and put her and her body inside.
Yun Du and Wen Jingcheng sent them to the door, while Xu Shun stood in the corridor, with his arms folded with a look of deep hatred, staring at the three of them closely.
"Thank you for your care these days." Wei Xin said.
"You're welcome. If you hadn't held up the Earth Netherworld Array by yourself, none of us would have been rescued. This is what I should do." Yun Du said.
Wei Xin: "That's all thanks to your alertness. You were able to lead them out of the formation."
Yun Du: "You are so magnanimous that you risked your life and saved the situation at a critical moment."
Wei Xin: "No, no, no, it's you who are so capable that you were able to stand up after me, smash the Netherworld Formation, and rescue the Yan brothers and sisters."
"You are still..."
"No, no, no, it's you, it's you..."
Four people: "......"
Are you two done yet?
Xu Shun's arms were sore from hugging him, and as the sun was about to set, he shouted in a sinister tone, "Sect Master Wei, if you don't want to leave, stop pretending to be supportive and just stay for dinner!"
Wei Xin was ready to leave immediately, but when he saw him like that, he got angry and said bluntly, "Well, since Master Xu is so kind to keep us, let's have dinner first before leaving!"
Xu Shun: "......"
Nan Huang and Xi Que seemed to have sensed that they would not be able to leave, so they immediately ran inside and sat down: "Master Lin Feng, we still want to eat braised pork today!"
Xu Shun: "......"
You Xuanji Sect, you are so shameless!!!
Yundu turned around and looked at him, silently raising his thumb.
Xu Shun: ""
