Rongze knew that he would face inner demons once he advanced to a higher level, so he remained stagnant on the path of swordsmanship.
Fei Wan had no time to think about these things. He was now feeling suffocated by being immersed in the lake, and the freezing cold water was even more deadly.
Fei Wan made up a mantra in her mind. Her life fire should be able to ignite regardless of the lake water, but she couldn't use it no matter what.
She suddenly realized,
Rongze has an extremely rare spiritual root - the ice spiritual root.
No wonder it is so cold and close to the water spirit root, which is incompatible with her. It is definitely not ordinary lake water.
When the inner demon saw her, he could not hide his panic, but he realized her predicament and suddenly a very charming smile appeared on his lips.
Although Fei Wan was a little confused at this time and was only holding on by relying on her own physical condition, she could see that the inner demon was mocking her.
Fei Wan was still holding the hand of the inner demon. With her last bit of consciousness, she also moved the corners of her lips, creating the same arc.
It's just not as charming, but still breathtakingly beautiful, as if it should be that way.
The inner demon's expression grew confused, as if he couldn't imagine what else Fei Wan could do. His eyes suddenly widened, and he looked down to see a sword pierce through her body, then dissipate in a black shadow.
Fei Wan breathed a sigh of relief after temporarily solving her inner demons, but she knew that this was definitely not the real end.
She had no more strength to hold on, so she let go of the sword, which fell to the ground. The moment she closed her eyes, she saw that familiar figure.
Fei Wan regained consciousness and no longer had that uncomfortable feeling of suffocation. When she opened her eyes, she fell into a familiar embrace.
“Master…”
Rongze hugged her gently, and when he heard her voice, his arms around her waist gradually tightened. He no longer had the restraint he had before, but was afraid that he might lose her.
"I'm not a demon, you should have seen that."
Fei Wan narrowed his eyes, but his expression was extremely pale.
The icy-cold lake water poured into her throat, making her throat so hoarse and uncomfortable that she could hardly speak. She bent down, covered her mouth and coughed continuously.
Gradually, he calmed down a bit, even though he still felt a little uncomfortable. Fei Wan continued, "Master, if you are worried about me, from now on, I will go down the mountain to gain experience and will no longer stay by your side."
"Isn't it not worth it to give up everything you have always insisted on for me?"
Her tone was very light.
"My talent isn't the best, nor are my spiritual roots the most similar to yours, yet you brought me back ten years ago. Everyone else thought you accepted me as your disciple because of my talent, but in reality... I simply saved a little girl that day, and then she pestered me. She was all alone, and you couldn't bear it, so you took her on the path of cultivation."
Fei Wan coughed a few more times.
"However, after so many years, this little girl still makes me worry. She is greedy for many things in the world, and she has not grasped the so-called severance of love in the way of swordsmanship at all."
Rongze's eyes darkened. He was always aloof and reserved, and shouldn't be moved by anything. But now, the hand holding Fei Wan trembled slightly.
The girl raised her head slightly, met Rongze's eyes, and smiled gently, "Master, I hope... you and I can be like we used to be, instead of like now, where you avoid me the moment I get close."
"Is there something wrong between us? I hope Master can be as carefree as before, instead of stagnating for someone. This... is not the Master I like."
Rongze saw her clear and sincere eyes, which prompted him to make a choice.
It was impossible for him to give up the way of the sword, and he knew that it would be disadvantageous to both of them if he continued like this, but he was still hoping for a lucky break and just wanted to maintain it this way, and was reluctant to break up.
