Previous life
After temporarily settling Qingluan down, Lin Zhuo asked to go back and rest. She wanted to know what they had been hiding from her.
Xie Zhitiao knew that if Lin Zhuo went back to sleep, he would know about his past life. He secretly sent a message to his master and fellow practitioners, and suggested that they go back together.
The two men walked towards the yard, but Xie Zhitiao followed Lin Zhuo and entered Lin Zhuo's yard.
Lin Zhuo was helpless: "Can't you just go back to your own yard?"
Xie Zhitiao said, "No. I will stick to you."
"...Go back to your room. I need to rest."
"I'm not resting. I'm here to accompany you." Xie Zhitiao said with a playful smile, and came over to hold her hand and shook it, "Senior sister, please don't chase me away."
Lin Zhuo sighed. She didn't bother to pay attention to him and went straight into the yard.
This isn't the first time, why bother reasoning with this scoundrel?
While she was washing up, Xie Zhitiao walked into her room as if he was her, sat in the outer room, and turned his back to the inner room very discreetly.
Lin Zhuo changed his clothes in the bathroom, yawned, and returned to his room. He glanced at him, walked into the inner room, and sat on the couch.
Feeling exhausted, she rubbed her waist and said, "I'm going to rest now. Please do as you please."
After saying this, she let down the curtain and lay down inside.
Xie Zhitiao heard no more movement behind him, then turned around to look at her. Seeing her drop the curtains and fall asleep, he felt like laughing again.
Are you so confident in him?
He was so soft-hearted that he moved a small stool to sit beside her couch and called her softly, "Senior Sister?"
"Hmm?" Lin Zhuo responded in a daze.
Xie Zhitiao lay beside her bed: "I really like you."
"Well... I like you too..." Lin Zhuo was drowsy and sleepy, but he still pulled himself together and replied to him.
Her hand reached out from behind the curtain and held his hand. Xie Zhitiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and watched her hand resting on his own.
Lin Zhuo's breathing became slower and slower, and she fell into a deep sleep. Xie Zhitiao did not disturb her again, nor did he leave. He just sat there and began to meditate.
————
Lin Zhuo woke up and thought he had just had a dream. In the dream, his master had come out of seclusion after more than ten years.
She laughed a little, then stood up and cleaned herself up. Master had been in seclusion for over fifty years. Perhaps she missed him too much?
It’s better not to disturb Master over such a small matter.
Her senior brothers and sisters are all out gaining experience, and her junior brother is a reckless person, so she has to help her uncle manage the sect.
Wan Wuji has been very busy lately and knows how much energy Lin Zhuo has put in to help him share some of the work, so he uses the excuse of letting Lin Zhuo go out to kill monsters, hoping to give her the opportunity to relax.
The monsters assigned to her naturally wouldn't be difficult to deal with, otherwise how could she relax?
Lin Zhuo acted quickly, but a mere snake demon was no match for her. After completing her mission, she was about to return to the sect when she heard someone calling her.
She looked around warily, but couldn't tell where the voice came from. The voice seemed to be bewitching her. Lin Zhuo felt a headache and recited the Heart Purification Mantra.
That night, she talked about this with You Jingjia, who was very serious at first, but later felt relieved when she heard that she was not hurt.
The two sisters chatted about everything under the sun and gradually fell asleep.
Within a few days, Wan Wuji assigned her another mission. This mission went smoothly again. As she was preparing to return to the forest, a powerful demonic force suddenly erupted from behind her.
Her eyes widened. She was completely no match for this demonic power. This was different from what Master-Uncle had said!
Before she could call for help, the demon launched an attack. Lin Zhuo had no choice but to draw his sword to fight back.
After a few rounds, Lin Zhuo spat out a mouthful of blood. She was a little unsteady on her feet, but her hand holding the sword didn't shake at all.
Her hand reached to her waist and crushed the disciple jade token. If the disciple jade token shattered, the master would immediately feel it and would definitely come to save her.
She held on for a while, sword in hand. The demon didn't seem to want her life; it seemed to be after something on her body.
Lin Zhuo was unable to dodge and was slapped in the chest by it. It forcibly pulled out a strand of her soul thread and then threw Lin Zhuo to the ground like a rag.
Lin Zhuo was in excruciating pain, she even thought she would die here.
She heard footsteps and opened her eyes to look. Ah, it was Master.
Her eyes showed no joy or sadness, and it was hard to tell what she was feeling. She just opened her mouth and said, "Master, why did you come so late?"
Cang He brought her back to the sect. Having lost one soul, Lin Zhuo was unconscious and seriously injured, and could die at any time.
It was strange that although Lin Numa was asleep, he saw clearly what was happening.
She saw her master calling back her senior brothers and sisters, her senior sister breaking down and crying beside her bed, and her junior brother spitting blood after returning to the sect, and her mood plummeted.
She also saw that everyone in her sect tried every possible way and searched through all the ancient books to save her.
She also saw a riot in the Demon Tower, and her master went to suppress it, only to discover that demonic energy was raging inside the tower.
She also saw the possessed tiger-skin python fighting with her master, causing her master to be seriously injured and bedridden.
She also saw that her senior brother, in order to avenge his master, was tricked by the tiger python and the old injuries he suffered during the tribulation were triggered.
She knew that the tiger python was the reincarnation of the devil, and his target was her.
In order to defeat the devil, the junior brother decided to follow the devil's wishes and go to the temple to investigate the situation.
The senior sister went along, but was repelled by the extremely cold snowfield. Although she had ice spiritual roots, the coldness penetrated deep into her meridians, and she became half disabled.
The junior brother entered the palace, but could not find a way to save her. He returned to the sect and secretly decided to fight the demon to the end.
Her breathing grew weaker. The demon grew stronger.
When he was on the verge of death, the demon broke in. The master raised his sword again, blocked the front, and died in the front.
The senior brother wanted to open a way for them to survive, so he followed the master and sacrificed himself.
Lin Zhuo thought it was ridiculous.
But her tears fell uncontrollably, drop after drop.
She saw that her senior sister's hidden injury could not be healed and she died of depression.
Finally, only Xie Zhitiao was left. Just as the demon's attack was about to fall on him, it was blocked.
The way of heaven has awakened.
He saved Xie Zhitiao and the half-dead girl, but his own strength was not enough to fight against the devil because of the suffering of many people.
He and Xie Zhitiao agreed to give him, his master, and his senior brothers and sisters a second chance. This time, they would eliminate the hidden danger of this world - the demon god.
The Heavenly Dao once again opened the Mirror of Rebirth, but it was not to send them to the afterlife, but to look back in time.
After sending the four of them back, He turned around and gave Lin Zhuo a gentle smile: "Hey, how's your life been?"
Lin Zhuo suddenly woke up and sat up straight.
Her hands kept shaking and tears fell down, wetting the quilt.
Xie Zhitiao's figure appeared outside the curtain. Lin Zhuo was filled with panic and just wanted to find comfort quickly.
She lifted the curtain, threw herself on Xie Zhitiao and hugged his neck.
The moment Lin Zhuo sat up, Xie Zhitiao woke up from his meditation. He didn't dare to speak, wanting to see what Lin Zhuo's attitude was, but someone hugged his neck.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly hugged her: "Senior Sister?"
Noticing that the girl's body was trembling, and fearing that she would be uncomfortable lying down, Xie Zhitiao put his arm around her and sat on the edge of the bed, patting her back gently.
He didn't know what to say to comfort her. He only hated his lack of words and could only comfort her with the warmth of his palms.
Lin Zhuo gradually calmed down, with tears still on her face. She loosened her arms, looked up at him, and said pitifully:
"Did you return when Master came out of seclusion? Is this what you've been hiding from me?"
Hearing her crying tone, Xie Zhitiao straightened her messy hair and coaxed her softly:
"Yes, we only hid this from you."
"It's not like we hid it together. Master and my brothers and sisters didn't know that we were all back. They just thought we were back on our own, so they didn't tell you."
"Besides, Senior Sister, if I tell you, will you believe it?"
Lin Zhuo choked at his words. Yeah, she most likely didn't believe it. Thinking about it, she felt like crying again.
"Then you can't hide everything from me... I'm dead, so why would you gamble your life on me coming back to life..."
Xie Zhitiao covered her mouth. His expression was very serious: "Senior Sister, I'm sorry."
Lin Zhuo blinked, somewhat unresponsive.
"Senior Sister may not remember how clingy you were to Master and the other brothers and sisters in the past. Ever since Master went into seclusion and the other brothers and sisters went out to gain experience, haven't you noticed that you've become even more taciturn?"
"Master doesn't like worldly affairs. After he went into seclusion, he didn't respond to anyone's requests to see him."
"Senior Brother has always had a deadpan expression. After his training, he cares even less about the sect and becomes increasingly distant from others."
"You and Second Senior Sister have a close relationship, but after Second Senior Sister left the mountain, she often didn't respond to your jade slips."
"I was an asshole, too busy having fun to notice your silence."
"Senior Sister, this is the consequence we caused."
Lin Zhuo opened her mouth, wanting to say no, but unable to speak. It was strange that she had grown up surrounded by love, yet when she couldn't sense love, she would choose to retreat.
She's still a coward at heart.
Tears still hung on her eyelashes as she stared blankly at Xie Zhitiao. Xie Zhitiao felt a pang of pain in his heart. He loosened his hand, pressed his hand against her forehead, and almost whispered:
"Senior Sister... I'm sorry..."
He closed his eyes, guilt almost drowning him, but a warm body hugged him.
Lin Zhuo patted his back and said softly, "A Tiao, I never blamed you."
Even if she were to relive her past life, she would only feel heartache, not resentment. She felt sorry for the suffering her family had endured because of her.
Xie Zhitiao hugged her tightly, buried his head in her neck, and breathed a little quickly.
Lin Zhuo let him hold her, patting his back from time to time. After thinking for a long time, she lifted the boy's head and kissed his forehead.
Her ears were red as she smiled softly, "A Tiao, I really don't blame you."
Xie Zhitiao's pupils dilated, and he seemed stunned. Lin Zhuo also felt that he was a little frivolous, and was just feeling embarrassed when he was startled by the boy's actions.
He pressed his lips against hers.
Lin Numa's eyes widened at the warm touch of her lips, and the boy's pleasant scent lingered at her nose. She froze, unsure how to react.
Xie Zhitiao stepped back and nuzzled the girl's cheek, acting like a spoiled child: "Senior Sister, can I kiss you?"
Lin Zhuo's face flushed rapidly, and the heat spread all the way to her neck. She stammered, not daring to look him in the eye: "You... didn't you kiss me before..."
The sound became smaller and smaller, and she wanted to bury her head in her chest.
Then, she heard the young man laugh softly, and breathed hotly into her ear: "Senior Sister, this is just the beginning."
The next moment, her chin was lifted up and her lips were bitten by the person in front of her.
He placed his hands over her eyes, and used the tip of his tongue to push her lips and teeth apart, and embraced her in an irresistible manner.
