Chapter 141: His and Her Words

It turned out that after my will and that of the Taoist boy had been silenced… the remaining spirit of the Grandmaster took control of my body, and after my body had walked through the cave and spewed out so much essence, it was already in a state of exhaustion… but the Grandmaster managed to complete the spell… forcibly extracting the soul power condensed in the remains of the true dragon in the dragon tomb, using it to complete the power of the remaining spirit of the true dragon.

Afterwards, the remnant soul of the true dragon also entered my body… I pieced together these memories in a daze, thinking… This is really lively… What is going on with my body? My former self, my current self, the demon soul of my companion, the remnant soul of my master, and now the remnant soul of the true dragon…

This situation made me laugh and cry at the same time… But the next moment, my mood became tense and expectant. I really couldn’t remember what happened next, and among the flood of memories, I couldn’t find anything about Ruoxue… After I came to my senses, I couldn’t help but glance at Master and Jenny, and asked, “So… what about Ruoxue?”

“I don’t know what happened… You actually brought Ruoxue out of the cave. Yes, Ruoxue is here in the Snow Mountain.” The master did not hide anything from me, but said it directly to me.

I was stunned on the spot. I didn’t expect to see Ruoxue again, because the memories of my previous life were too painful. Wei Chaoyu said that she might not forgive Daotongzi… I just hoped that Ruoxue would give me a word or two, but I didn’t expect Ruoxue to come to this snowy mountain.

“Jiang Xiaowa deceived me so badly… From the moment you stepped out of the cave, the gears of fate began to turn completely, and he was not afraid to say all this. Chengyi… Of course, Ruoxue would come. In this great era, how many people can remain unaffected? And it is even less likely that someone close to you will appear… Do you know? Ruoxue’s appearance is also expected.” Jenny’s sister-in-law was a bit emotional. It seemed that she also understood the concept of the great era.

However, at this moment, I couldn’t hear anything… I just asked excitedly, “Where is Ru Xue… where is Ru Xue?”

“She… doesn’t want to see you for the time being. She’s with Ling Qing and Ru Yue… Chengyi, you shouldn’t bother others these days. Everyone is starting to make preparations. Even though I’m not qualified to order you around anymore, in a sense, you’re still my direct superior.” Jenny’s tone was as calm as possible, trying to persuade me.

But in my heart, I had an unspeakable emotion swirling around… Even though we were so close, she still didn’t want to see me? Why? Did she already know about Wei Chaoyu’s hatred?

“Chengyi.” The master sighed and couldn’t help but call me again.

I suddenly came to my senses and looked at Master and Jenny, asking, “What is the immediate superior? Why don’t you just bother others? What are you preparing for?”

“Someone will tell you about this later… After you left the cave, you were too weak and your soul was in a mess… So when you fainted, we didn’t dare to move you easily. After all, you are still in the underground cave.” The master explained to me, and while he was talking, he lit up his pipe.

His face looked haggard in the dim oil lamp light… and his eyes were also filled with indescribable fatigue… I think he probably didn’t have a moment to relax during the days I was walking in the underground cave.

I felt ashamed and struggled to sit up from the bed, weak and unable to resist. Jenny, the eldest sister, was drinking from her flask and only glanced at me without stopping me.

“Master,” I suddenly fell on his lap. Normally, I shouldn’t have such a girlish or childish gesture, but at this moment, I couldn’t help but show my emotions.

I remember when I was a child, whenever I got into trouble, my master would punish me… But at night, I often saw him standing by my bedside, looking to see if I had been hurt by him.

Half of it was coquettish, half of it was dependent… and now there is an indescribable emotion that permeates it… Although I don’t know what happened when I was walking through the cave, I always knew that there would be a huge battle soon, and that these quiet days would be fewer and fewer.

At that time, no one could guarantee that everything would be fine… After all, we were facing a large group of forces that were tangled together… There was Wu Tian, who was the same age as the master, and Yang Sheng, who was so powerful that he was hard to understand… There was also the existence of the mysterious Destiny Divination Second Pulse… So, this kind of intimacy is also afraid that there will be less and less.

I don’t want to suppress my emotions. I always feel that when I face my master, my parents… I will always have the innocence of a child. Why should I suppress my emotions?

But for some reason, I thought of my parents… My nose was a little bit sore. Because of the special circumstances, I couldn’t say goodbye to them before the battle, and I couldn’t stay with them for even an hour… So, lying on my master’s lap, I was a little sad.

“What’s wrong, Chengyi?” My sudden affectionate behavior made Master a little uncomfortable… He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he placed his rough hand on my head, just like when I was a child, and touched my hair.

“Nothing, I just wanted to be like this… When I came out, I thought of Ruoxue, but I didn’t expect that Master would worry so much about me, and it made me feel bad.” I said it very directly, but I didn’t say that I also missed my parents. I was afraid that before the war, I would still be thinking about them… I would lack the courage to go forward.

“Silly boy… Look at you, you’re in your thirties, and you’re still like this?” The master was a little embarrassed and glanced at Jenny, the head of the group.

Jenny, the head of the group, took a sip of wine without a care in the world and said, “A cultivator should be true to their feelings. This is my way… I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Let him cling to you… who can see clearly in the days to come? Clinging now, loving the one you love, and not regretting it in the future.

As she said this, Jenny’s voice seemed a little despondent… The dim candlelight illuminated her silhouette, and I wondered what she was thinking.

I suddenly became curious. My body was carried out by the remnant soul of the master. From the words of my master and Jenny, I also knew that they knew that the one who came out in the end was the “master,” not me. So the master and Jenny said goodbye. What did the master say to Jenny?

My memory is very messy, and this part can be said to be missing… Thinking about this, I couldn’t help but ask my master, “What did the Grandmaster say when he came out?”

“Hehe… he said to me, ‘Li Chun’er, I’m out… Chengyi is very good, very good.'” When he said this, Master’s face couldn’t help but be filled with a look of pride… After all, the Grandmaster praised me, and I was his disciple.

“Then… then didn’t the Grandmaster say anything to Jenny?” Jenny was right there, and I knew it was bad to ask, but I just couldn’t help it.

“Ahem…” Master couldn’t help but slap me, probably to scold me for being disrespectful… But at this time, Jenny put away her wine flask, walked to the door, and said, “Since Chengyi is awake, you should call them in… Hurry up and say what you want to say. For me, I’m not afraid to say what I want in front of others… Being able to have the person you want has always been the most important thing, and people’s opinions are just a fart to me.”

Afterwards, Jenny pushed open the door to the dimly lit room… and outside, it was also dark, like the deepest night.

“Hurry, Jenny’s meaning is for you to say… all she cares about is the attitude of the master, you say it, Master.” After Jenny left, I had fewer scruples… although, relatively speaking, I still had many doubts in my heart, none of which were as important as this.

After all, this love affair has been going on for many years… I’m really curious about what kind of conversation there will be when they meet again.

Master scratches his head and looks very sad. He says, “Your master naturally saw Jenny and understood that at that moment, Jenny knew his identity. He said to Jenny, ‘If I had known you were here, I would have come out sooner.'”

What does this mean? I was a little stunned… but when I thought about the meaning of these words, I realized that the affection contained in them was not a little… in the midst of danger, he still wanted to come out and see her sooner, which shows that the master’s feelings for Jenny have never been forgotten… and there is even a strong friendship… but why is this?

I am increasingly confused about the men in our Li family. Maybe I don’t even understand myself… Thinking about this, I couldn’t help but ask my master, “What did Jenny say?”

“She said, ‘I’ve been waiting for you for a long, long time… I’m the one who believed you would show up. Whenever I had some free time, all I could think about was how I would scold you when I saw you again, and even how I would hit you… Then I would wonder if I would be reluctant to do so. Now that I’ve seen you, I find that I just want to cry… Aren’t you great? You tell me? What should I do? Master Li told me the exact words that Jenny had said.

If I had to explain the sadness behind these words, I’m afraid I couldn’t say it all in a thousand words.

“Then what happened?” Like everyone else, when I heard about the reunion of a relationship, I couldn’t help but want to know more.

“What happened next? I saw your master smile at Jenny… I don’t understand what it means. Then he fainted.” The master said simply, and wanted to say something more, but at this moment, the door was pushed open.

From the seemingly endless darkness outside, several people walked in…
