…
It's not always Li Qingran who takes the initiative.
Now that the window paper has been pierced, we must naturally fight back bravely.
Chen Huaian pulled Li Qingran's hand directly over, and their fingertips touched. That was the only part of his body that he could truly feel. Li Qingran's fingers were slightly cold and trembled slightly in his palm.
"Well, since Master agrees... let's go to sleep."
Li Qingran blushed and lowered her eyes, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.
The two of them walked to the bed in silence. Li Qingran carefully lifted the corner of the quilt, moving so gently as if he was afraid to disturb the air around him.
"Master, would you like to sleep inside or outside first?"
She asked in a low voice, not daring to look directly at Chen Huaian, even though she was the one who made the bed.
Chen Huaian smiled jokingly: "Which side do you like, my disciple?"
"I...I'm fine with either." Li Qingran bit her lower lip and rolled her eyes. "Then I'll sleep inside."
She climbed onto the bed carefully, pressed her body against the wall and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, leaving most of the bed space for Chen Huaian.
Chen Huaian couldn't help laughing when he saw how reserved she was.
"What, what's wrong?" Li Qingran poked half of his head out from under the quilt, turned around and glared at Chen Huaian angrily.
"Disciple, are you planning to become a Taoist partner with the wall?" Chen Huaian joked.
Li Qingran suddenly realized that she was pressed against the wall, her face turned red, she snorted softly, but still moved her body slightly to the middle. Chen Huaian also got on the bed. The two of them still kept a distance between them, but their fingers were lightly interlocked and their eyes were fixed on each other.
"Master..." Li Qingran suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
"You...you don't want to blow out the candles?"
Chen Huaian laughed: "Is your disciple shy?"
"I didn't!" Li Qingran immediately refuted, but added in a low voice, "It's just... it's too bright and I can't sleep."
Chen Huaian stopped teasing Li Qingran. He stood up and blew gently. The candle went out and the room fell into darkness.
He lay down again, and Li Qingran's breathing became particularly clear in the darkness.
"Master," Li Qingran asked quietly in the darkness, "I feel like you need to go back to Earth often~ It seems like there are urgent matters there every day." Chen Huaian didn't say anything. Li Qingran paused, took a deep breath and said, "The fortune-teller said that you are only half a year old... I was thinking at the time, you are not from the Cangyun Realm, right?"
Chen Huaian's body stiffened.
Even in the darkness he could still clearly feel that Li Qingran's eyes were looking at him.
"Why do you suddenly have this idea?"
"Well... because you didn't refute whether that girl's calculations were correct, and she was indeed very accurate. I didn't believe it at first, but now I think about it carefully. Wasn't it half a year ago that I first met Master? At that time, Master was like an immortal who descended from the sky, coming and going out of thin air, and there were many strange things. Now everything makes sense."
Chen Huaian sighed in his heart when he heard this.
Li Qingran is gifted and intelligent, and his comprehension is top-notch.
How could she not notice anything unusual? It's nothing more than turning a blind eye.
"That's right." He admitted it without hesitation, "Master is indeed not from the Cangyun Realm."
"But I didn't fool you. I was busy at the time and was fighting a monster called cancer."
Cancer cells have indeed turned into monsters, there is nothing wrong with that.
Moreover, the Earth is now full of immortals, so it is no exaggeration to say that demons and monsters are rampant.
So to round it off, what he said to Li Qingran was true.
"Disciple doesn't feel that Master has any intention of deceiving Disciple."
Li Qingran smiled, held Chen Huaian's hand tightly, and said softly:
"Everyone has their own secrets. Master, when entering the Cangyun Realm alone, must be careful to avoid being spotted by others. I wonder if Master has to go back to Earth every day because something important happened there?
If there is no one or thing there that is worth Master's nostalgia, Master can just leave Earth and stay in Cang Yun Realm forever, or is it that... Master is shouldering a certain mission that prevents Master from completely breaking away from that world? ”
Upon hearing this, Chen Huaian couldn't help but secretly sigh at Li Qingran's cleverness and meticulousness.
He originally wanted to conceal the matter of the Ascended Immortal.
Now I can no longer hide it.
Li Qingran has seen through it very clearly, and any lie he tells will be caught instantly.
"As Taoist companions, we should share the joys and sorrows." Li Qingran held Chen Huaian's hand tighter, and the warmth and concern in her heart were conveyed steadily to Chen Huaian's heart: "Master, please speak clearly."
"The world where I live is facing a crisis." Chen Huaian looked directly into Li Qingran's eyes, not intending to hide it anymore: "The whole world is in a continuous cycle of reincarnation, and I am deeply trapped in it.
If I don't kill those behind the scenes, I will eventually fall into a cycle. Even if my incarnation stays in the Cang Yun Realm, it will be useless. I will also be dragged into the cycle of reincarnation and disappear. What I am doing now is to try every possible means to end the cycle of reincarnation! ”
Li Qingran was silent for a while, then sighed, "It is indeed a very dangerous matter. Master has kept it a secret from me, my disciple, and it is really painful."
"The teacher just feels that..."
"You think that my cultivation is too low and I can't help you anyway, right?"
There was a hint of resentment in the eyes in the darkness.
"That's not what the teacher meant..."
"Master." Li Qingran suddenly sat up, the moonlight outlining her resolute profile: "Disciple must become stronger!"
"Master, it is not easy for you to travel between the two worlds, but you only come here in the form of an incarnation. I guess it is because the threat over there does not allow you to be too cautious."
Li Qingran looked directly into Chen Huaian's eyes and said firmly, "And you said that even in the Cangyun Realm, one will eventually be drawn into the cycle of reincarnation and disappear... This means that there must be some kind of connection between the two worlds, and the fact that my disciple entered the world of Master through the Wandering in the Void also shows that a channel has been created between the two worlds."
"Disciple wants to go to Master's world!"
"Disciple wants to stand beside Master!"
"Disciple must protect Master, even if it means taking a little risk for Master!"
With every word he said, that burning gaze became more unshakable.
Chen Huaian was in a trance. The little disciple who used to be always timid beside him had become strong and had his own beliefs and persistence. He was strong enough to stand in front of him and hold up the sky for him.
Also facing crisis.
He couldn't help but think back to the past, when his ex's first reaction when he received the cancer notice was to have a surgical procedure. When Li Qingran faced the life-and-death crisis of being drawn into reincarnation, her first reaction was to do her best to stand with him.
He couldn't say anything to refuse.
He couldn't avoid Li Qingran's love.
"I underestimated you." Chen Huaian said softly, holding the little hand that gave him warmth, "If there is really someone who crosses the border, it must be you."
"Hehe~" Li Qingran lay down again contentedly, naturally resting his head on Chen Huaian's arm, and said with a smile:
"Before, it was the master who crossed the world to save the disciple, but now it's the other way around, the disciple is crossing the world to save the master!"
…
The moonlight is like water, coating the dependent figures with a layer of silver glow.
Li Qingran lay on her side, with one of her fingers interlocked with Chen Huaian's, their palms touching.
Her black hair spread out like silk, with a few strands gently resting on Chen Huaian's arm.
She curled up slightly in her sleep, fitting neatly into her master's arms, like a fish sleeping peacefully in a warm harbor.
The Milky Way hangs down with thousands of threads, and stars hang on the branches on both sides.
In the quiet night, the tightly clasped hands are like a bridge, connecting the two worlds closely.
