Chapter 692 The Promise
The lotus girl is wearing a long skirt with graceful lotus flowers embroidered on the hem. The lotus leaves are green and look particularly suitable on her.
It seemed as if she was supposed to dress like this.
Bai Hehua knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in front of Lu Chaochao.
"Lotus, meet the Sword Master."
She bowed her head to the ground, being extremely humble in front of Chao Chao. Without Lu Chaochao's consent, she didn't even dare to raise her head.
Lu Chaochao frowned and looked at her: "Get up."
Lotus lowered her head and dared not get up. After a while, she began to sob softly.
"Lotus knows that she has offended the Sword Master and deserves death, so she dares not get up."
Lu Chaochao looked at her and sighed softly.
"At that time, the God Realm was overjoyed, and the three realms celebrated together. To show her love, the Fairy of Flowers ordered the lotus flowers in the Heavenly Pond to bloom in full golden glory. Only you stood stubbornly in the pond, following the seasons of heaven and earth."
"At that time, I thought that you were unwilling to curry favor with the rich and powerful, and were not afraid of offending the Fairy of Flowers. You were indeed a man of high character."
"I specially transplanted you from the Tianchi Lake and planted you in the place with the most spiritual energy in Wuwang Mountain."
"You hadn't yet awakened your spirit at that time..." Lu Chaochao sighed.
"I often nourish you with spiritual springs, and it took me thousands of years to let you practice and transform. You actually..." Lu Chaochao shook his head gently...
Bai Hehua bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes red: "Sword Master's kindness is so great, I will never forget it." She was afraid to see Sword Master's disappointed look. The person she felt most guilty about in her life was Sword Master.
"Lotus is sorry to Sword Master."
"Sword Master is a man of integrity, wholeheartedly devoted to the Three Realms, selfless and impartial, and has never had any romantic feelings."
"Before Lotus transformed, she also vowed to become a figure like the Sword Master."
"It's Lotus... She is trapped in a love affair and can't extricate herself. She is ashamed of Sword Master's teachings and expectations."
The lotus' tears fell in big drops, and the fragrance of flowers in the air became stronger.
"You planted Lotus on Wuwang Mountain back then, and Lotus also practiced hard, taking Sword Master as her role model." But... she met Xuan Yu.
"At that time, the lotus had just awakened its spiritual wisdom and did not dare to change into human form during the day. It could only transform into human form at night with the help of moonlight." She often sat on the lotus leaves, as carefree and unrestrained as an elf.
Later, a young man came to the mountain.
The boy had a gloomy temperament, didn't like to laugh, didn't like to talk, and was extremely withdrawn.
But he was extremely hardworking. Every day from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, he would practice sword dancing beside the lotus pond.
When he was tired, he would sit cross-legged beside the lotus pond, holding his sword, staring blankly at the only lotus in the pond.
Lotus was very scared and always hid deep inside to watch him secretly.
Over time, her eyes would unconsciously begin to look for that figure.
He seemed very happy on the day he was accepted as a disciple by the Sword Master.
He came to the lotus pond and talked to himself for a long time.
That was the first time she saw Xuan Yu so happy, and Lotus couldn't help but sway as if celebrating.
"Lotus, are you happy for me too?" Xuan Yu reached out and gently flicked her petals, smiling tenderly.
She almost drowned in that smile.
She didn't know since when, but her eyes could no longer leave Xuan Yu.
He can always accurately find him from among the disciples.
For countless nights, she always sat on the lotus leaf, secretly watching the man dancing with the sword.
I have also heard him whispering in countless nights: "Chao Chao."
Bai Hehua didn't know what was wrong with her.
I felt depressed and sad and wanted to cry.
Later, one day he suddenly developed an inner demon, and when the demon surged out, his sword energy accidentally cut off his own roots. The white lotus was terrified and fled from the flower in panic.
She and Xuan Yu looked at each other, she was like a frightened rabbit.
That was the first time Xuan Yu had a real conversation with her: "You... have been in the flowers all this time?"
Bai Hehua didn't want to lie to him. The entire Sword Sect said that he was a loner, but she was the only one who knew that he talked a lot, was very sensitive, and always liked to nag around her.
"Yeah." She responded softly.
At that moment, Xuan Yu's face looked very bad.
He suppressed his inner demons, and the redness at the corners of his eyes gradually faded away. He looked at her with a cold and terrifying expression, no longer as intimate as before.
He turned and left without saying a word.
Bai Hehua stood alone by the pond, her palm injured by the sword energy, blood dripping from it.
She returned to the pool in a daze.
On the second day, a silk scarf was tied around her injured lotus stem. It was Xuan Yu's silk scarf.
"I'm sorry, I accidentally hurt you yesterday."
"This is your place of practice. I have no intention of intruding and disturbing your practice. From now on, this place will be returned to you." After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.
"No, you never bothered me. After you came, I...I was very happy."
Bai Hehua had just transformed and could not speak clearly.
But Xuanyu never stopped.
Later, Xuanyu stopped coming to the lotus pond. She went out secretly to look for him...
He even transformed himself several times and followed him down the mountain, only to be discovered by Xuan Yu in the end. Sometimes when he had time, he would send her back.
Sometimes he was too busy and was afraid that she would die, so Lu Chaochao was sad. So he kept it with him until he returned to Wuwang Mountain.
Until that day, his inner demon was discovered.
He is about to be driven out of Wuwang Mountain.
That night, he sat by the lotus pond, drinking for a long time with red eyes and holding the wine jug.
She never tried to comfort him and could only stay with him while he was drunk.
Sometimes she stared at him blankly, hiding the bitterness in her heart.
That night, she saw her inner demon.
It’s Xuan Yu, but also the inner demon.
He said, "In this life, I cannot give you any response, but if there is an afterlife, I will marry you." He said with a smile and drank a pot of wine.
He followed in Lu Chaochao's footsteps, and Bai Hehua also chased him all her life.
"Master Chaochao, Hehua feels so sad... He never looks back at her. Hehua can no longer practice cultivation in this life." Her heart was in turmoil, no longer as innocent as before.
"It was Lotus who committed treason, and took on the appearance of Sword Master, 60% to 70% and approached him."
Lu Chaochao frowned and looked at her: "Lotus, fake is fake after all. One day it will be exposed, and you will be the one who will be retaliated against in the future." Besides, can the feelings gained by deception be real?
Bai Hehua's mouth was extremely bitter: "Sword Master, Hehua understands everything."
How could she not understand that if the truth came out one day, it might be the end of her and Xuan Yu.
But she just wanted to give it a try.
The last time.
Try one last time.
"Xuan Jichuan... He is just Xuan Yu's inner demon, do you know that?"
Bai Hehua nodded: "Disciple knows."
In fact, back then in Wuwang Mountain, Hehua should have been the first person to discover that something was wrong with Xuanyu.
"He promised me the next life. Lotus is wandering around in the world, looking for him to fulfill his promise. I beg Sword Master to help me..."
Lu Chaochao shook her head: "It was his idea to marry you, whether in the past life or in this life, it was his decision. Whether it succeeds or not is not up to me."
"Lotus, is it worth it?"
Bai Hehua's face was gentle, but her eyes were extremely firm: "Sword Master, you have great love in your heart, including the Three Realms and the whole world."
"But the lotus' heart is very small, and can only hold him."
"It's worth it. Everything is worth it."
