Chapter 271 – Bamboo Forest Phantom Dream

A sect strife that had erupted after a long time of storing up momentum had finally ended with a result that no one had anticipated. Yun Che didn’t know how Su Hengshan would deal with Su Hengyue’s father and son, as well as the group of elders and disciples who had been supporting him, and didn’t bother to care, as he took Su Ling’er with him after the Blackwood Fortress’ people left.

This incident also allowed Yun Che to have a rough understanding of Su Hengshan’s character. Apparently, this was a person who was upright and decent, with humility in his majesty, and even more so with a loving heart, but was not too good of a Sect Lord …… because he did not act ruthlessly and decisively enough. Otherwise, an elder generation figure would not be so rampant. Although, at this point in time, Su Hengyue was already no different than a traitor to the sect, Yun Che could envision that the way he dealt with it would still not be too decisive. After all, Su Heng Yue was after all his elder brother, plus he was not just a person, behind him, there were many elder generation figures who supported him.

From today’s incident, Yun Che also saw the potential crisis of the Tai Su Sect.

“Brother Yun Che, you and father said that I’m already …… a fiancée, what does a fiancée mean?” Su Ling’er took Yun Che’s hand and asked with a hazy gaze. She vaguely knew what the three words fiancée meant, but wanted to hear Yun Che’s answer from his mouth.

Yun Che smiled, “It means that when Ling’er grows up, she will marry me as a wife …… just like your beautiful sister.”

Xia Qingyue squinted at him, her complexion slightly strange.

“What does old …… wife …… mean?” Su Ling’er’s lips slightly opened, this name, she was even more confused.

“It’s the two words that only I can call Ling’er. What about after Ling’er becomes my wife, we have to be together forever, accompany each other, take care of each other, make each other happy, and do all the things we like …… together,” Yun Che said softly. These words, they were really simple to say, but the Su Ling’er at that time, until she perished, had not been able to hear them from his mouth.

Su Ling’er’s footsteps slowed down so much at once, as if she was confused because of these words from Yun Che.

Yun Che lowered his head and asked seriously, “Ling’er, then when you grow up, are you willing to be my wife?”

Su Ling’er raised her snow tender cheeks, then nodded her head very vigorously and smiled sweetly, “Uh-huh! I like being with Brother Yun Che!”

Yun Che gripped Su Ling’er’s small hand even tighter, his heart filled with warmth …… and sourness mixed in.

Xia Qingyue finally couldn’t stay silent, she sideways glanced at the tender and tiny Su Ling’er with her beautiful eyes, guessed her age, and slightly frowned her moon brows and said, “Are you serious?”

Yun Che knew what Xia Qing Yue was thinking, anyone who saw that he was so serious and resolute in wanting to accept a ten year old girl as his wife would have the word “beast” in their heart. He curled the corners of his mouth and helplessly said: ”I am serious yes …… however, I have my reasons. Besides ……,” Yun Che’s expression took on a slight bitterness, “This is just a dream, isn’t it? Since it’s just a dream, let it …… be beautiful to the point of being unreal.”

“…… “Xia Qingyue completely didn’t understand what he was thinking about, but looking at the seriousness and melancholy in his eyes, she turned her cheeks and no longer asked.

“Qingyue’s wife, you are …… today,” Yun Che asked carefully, “Why are you so …… um . . obedient.”

Xia Qingyue’s eyes lowered, and she said in a clear voice: “My current power should have originally belonged to you, and if you want to use it, I won’t refuse.”

Yun Che froze, pinched his nose with his hand, and no longer continued with this topic, “Crossing over from the Earth Xuan Realm to the King Xuan Realm in one go, this progress, it’s also just too frightening. However, if the span is too large, it is possible that it will cause realm instability. Qingyue, it would be better for me to accompany you back to the Dragon Pavilion to recuperate for a period of time first, so as not to leave any after-effects in case.”

Xia Qingyue nodded, “I can go back by myself, you accompany Ling’er to play.”

Yun Che also did not insist, and after instructing her to remain vigilant enough, he left with Su Ling’er. After all, he had previously promised Ling’er that he would always play with her after Xia Qingyue woke up.

After Yun Che walked away, Xia Qingyue turned back and looked at Yun Che’s back, her mind was in a daze, and somewhat lost in thought, she muttered to herself, “Is it still because …… we are husband and wife ……… …”……………………

“Ling’er, where do you want to go and play?”

“Hehe, with brother Yun Che, my mood will become especially good, it’s good to go anywhere to play …… Well …… let me think about it! Right, let’s go play in the bamboo forest at the back, shall we?”

“Bamboo …… forest?” These two words touched a certain nerve in Yun Che.

“Hmm! Right at the foot of the mountain, there’s a big, big bamboo forest, and I like the wind in there the most. It’s just that father said that there would be very dangerous Xuan Beasts appearing there, and never let me go alone, and father is always so busy that he rarely takes me to play.”

“Bamboo forest …… bamboo forest …… good, then we will go to the bamboo forest to play.”

South of Taisu Gate, a large bamboo forest spreads all the way to the foot of the distant mountain, and the rich emerald green color fills the entire field of vision. The bamboo branches were dense, and with the swinging of the bamboo leaves, gusts of wind that were fresh to the extreme kept brushing against them, refreshing the mind.

“Wow! So comfortable!” Standing in the middle of the bamboo forest, Su Ling’er’s eyes closed and opened her arms, cocking her little nose and sniffing hard at the fresh flavor from the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest in front of her did not have the same lushness as the one that Yun Che and Su Ling’er had lived in, but it was the same emerald green, the same freshness, and just by looking at it, and feeling the wind coming from her face, she felt that her entire heart and soul were being gently washed. Looking at the bamboo forest, looking at Su Ling’er, Yun Che for a moment some infatuation …… At the beginning, so beautiful bamboo forest, so beautiful Ling’er, so beautiful world of two people, why he saw, but only hate ……

Su Ling’er is always so melancholy, she constantly persuade him to put down the hatred …… Perhaps, she at that time, has put down all their past, only want to stay with him. Her later melancholy didn’t come from her past, but from him ……

“Brother Yun Che, this place is beautiful right?” Su Ling’er said with a smiling face, “This is my favorite place, every time I come here, I feel as if I’ve turned into an elf, and all the unhappy things are all forgotten, I love everything here …… I often think that if I grow up in the future, I’ll definitely set up my home in a verdant green Bamboo forest …… Well! Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy.”

Yun Che’s heart shook violently.

No wonder …… no wonder she had stopped in that bamboo forest after dragging him, who was seriously injured and unconscious, to flee for several days after Master’s demise. At that time, he thought that Su Ling’er just thought that the bamboo forest was suitable for concealment …… It turned out that she genuinely loved the bamboo forest, and since she was a child, she had a dream about the bamboo forest.

In the middle of the bamboo forest, her heart can be quiet, and she can think that she is an elf …… Only in the middle of the bamboo forest can she overcome all the loneliness, worry, fear, melancholy, and bewilderment …… day after day, year after year, forever waiting for his s return.

Yun Che’s hands clenched tightly, his heart ached like pins and needles, and guilt filled his soul like a tidal wave. Guilt filled his soul like a tidal wave. He knew more and more that what he owed to Ling’er, he couldn’t repay in ten lifetimes and ten worlds…….

“Ling’er, let’s build a home here, shall we?” Yun Che said softly.

“Ah? Build a home here ……?” Su Ling’er was astonished.

“Hmph!!!” Yun Che nodded with a smile, “Hasn’t Ling’er always wanted to be able to live in a bamboo forest? Let’s, then, use the bamboo here and build a small bamboo house, so that way, as long as Ling’er wants to, she can live here whenever she wants.”

“Bamboo …… house?” After Su Ling’er was stunned for a short while, her starry eyes instantly became incomparably sparkling, “Is it really …… possible? But, would it be such a pity to hurt the bamboo here ……”

“Haha!” Yun Che laughed as he gently stroked Ling’er’s cheek and said compassionately, “There are so many bamboos here, and only a very small number of them can be lucky enough to be part of the hut, these bamboos will also definitely be very happy if they know that they can build a bamboo hut for the most adorable Ling’er.”

“Hmm!!!” Su Ling’er let go of the scruples in her heart and shouted with incomparable joy.

Yun Che stretched out his fingers, turning Xuan into a blade, and under the sweep of his fingers, a dozen or so emerald bamboos were neatly cut off, and before long, a large pile of sufficiently thick bamboo stems were piled up in front of them, and there was a sufficiently open space in the middle of the dense bamboo forest.

With Yun Che’s Xuan Power, this project wasn’t too difficult, but it was also very uncomplicated, but with Su Ling’er cheering and cheering from the side, and also wiping his sweat from time to time, Yun Che didn’t feel tired at all even though he was sweating.

As the sky gradually darkened, a simple little bamboo hut finally took shape. This small bamboo house was much smaller than the one he had lived in with Su Ling’er at the beginning, and it was also much rougher, even the most basic shelter from the wind and rain couldn’t be done, but there was an extraordinarily refreshing feeling amongst the compactness, and it wasn’t just a small bamboo house, but inside it, there was also a small bed and a small table that was built up with bamboo.

When the bamboo house was molded, Yun Che’s ears were filled with Ling’er’s cheering voice, she ran around the small bamboo house happily and incomparably, and her ethereal and pleasant voice spread out far and wide……. Then it was really like a carefree bamboo forest elf in general.

“Brother Yun Che, we will live in this today, okay? This was my dream before it …… And with Brother Yun Che accompanying me, I won’t be scared at all.”

“Uh, okay!!!”

In the middle of the bamboo forest, they played from the afternoon, until the bright moon was high. This day, the laughter from Ling’er was more than what Yun Che had heard in those years. This afternoon, the laughter from Ling’er formed his entire world. Today’s him also belonged to Ling’er alone.

The bright moon hung high, and Ling’er, who had been running all afternoon, was finally tired. She and Yun Che lay side by side on the bamboo bed that they built together …… The bamboo bed was very simple, very hard, and when it moved a little, it would still “creak”, but lying on it, breathing in the clear air, smelling the scent of the green bamboos, and feeling the wind that filtered through from time to time from the gaps, both of them were very happy. The wind that came through the cracks from time to time, the two people were both extremely cozy, and of course, more importantly, was the company of the person beside them.

“Brother Yun Che, I really want …… to be together with you forever …… Well, if I say this, will it make brother Yun Che very strange …… Obviously We’ve only been together today, but, at the first sight of Brother Yun Che, I liked it so much …… Am I a very strange girl?”

The crib was very narrow, and Su Ling’er lightly leaned against Yun Che’s body and said in a small voice.

“No way.” Yun Che smiled up, “Because I was the same when I saw Ling’er. In a person’s lifetime, it’s hard to have someone that you can inexplicably like at the first sight of them, and if two people have such a feeling for each other, then, they are either a pair made in heaven, or …… have a love affair from a past life.”
