Chu Xuan thought to himself: Could it be that she’s imitating Jiang Yiyi?
No, I should find a chance to explain things clearly to my senior sister, and have her pay more attention to the distance between us.
Qin ngyao seed genuinely not to have thought too much about it, it was just a hug for her long-unseen junior brother.
She ca over, and openly chatted with Chu Xuan, her tone, her expression, the sa as always, which made Chu Xuan feel a bit more at ease.
Perhaps, I shouldn’t say anything, to avoid awkwardness for both of us later.
...
Earlier, Qin ngyao, having an arrangent with a friend, worried her friend couldn’t find her, so she excused herself to the two masters and went ahead to Ruomu, when Chu Xuan and the others hadn’t arrived yet.
Qin ngyao had heard from Master Su about the events at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and knew that besides Gu Haitang, there was another girl nad "Qingqing" with Chu Xuan, suspected of being from the demonic path.
But she wasn’t too bothered by it and remained calm.
Until...she saw Chu Xuan flying in with the two girls from afar, behaving naturally in conversation, and the way he looked at them, with a light in his eyes.
For so reason, Qin ngyao felt a bit uncomfortable.
She didn’t know why, but she just didn’t feel right.
Back then, Qin ngyao hadn’t considered Gu Haitang with any importance, but now, it was Haitang who was laughing and chatting beside Chu Xuan, while she could only watch silently.
So in the end, when flying over to join them, Qin ngyao impulsively hugged Chu Xuan like her master had done.
She could see Chu Xuan was a bit shocked, which made her regretful, wondering why she did such a thing?
Didn’t she turn him down originally to avoid hurting him?
Now you’ve given him hope again, what if he gets hurt because of you in the future? Can you live with that?
Chu Xuan is such a lovely person, he cares about you so much, each ti he sees you, he has that expectant look in his eyes, yet you disappoint him ti and ti again.
The more Qin ngyao thought, the more she regretted it. She had always been a decisive woman, harsh on others and on herself.
Since she could rember, this seed to be the first ti she acted so indecisively and ambiguously, rejecting and then approaching again.
Qin ngyao quietly practiced her Heart thod, secretly reminding herself:
Chu Xuan is just your junior, since you’ve decided to walk the path of "cutting off worldly attachnts and supre detachnt," any more indecisiveness will only harm both him and yourself.
Thinking of this, Qin ngyao finally found her resolve, and her deanor in communicating with Chu Xuan beca more relaxed.
"Next, why don’t all three of you co in with us?"
Chu Xuan hesitated upon hearing this, "I have independent objectives in this secret realm, I fear I might hold everyone back."
"Perhaps we should separate."
Qin ngyao felt a bit disappointed at heart, unwilling to give up, she said, "What are you looking for? Your senior sister can help you."
"The Blood of the Four Monkeys of Turmoil, you know I’ve been searching for it."
At this point, Lu Jianxin coughed, "We also have a sect mission, we need to head to the ’Heavenly Realm’ for sothing important."
He secretly transmitted to Chu Xuan: "It’s related to our master, ordered personally by the Sect Leader and several Supre Elders."
Chu Xuan understood and nodded, "Then maybe I should put my personal matters aside for now?"
Lu Jianxin waved his hand, "No need, you haven’t accepted a mission, look for what you need and join us once you’ve found it."
Chu Xuan gratefully nodded, he, as a disciple of the Taoist Palace, should prioritize sect interests.
Qin ngyao felt more and more a sense of loss, they had just t and are already about to part again?
She shook her head privately and forced a smile, "Then I wish you good luck, junior brother~ Just be very careful."
Chu Xuan naturally agreed.
At this mont, the people from the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion also arrived, led by Master Li Yucheng and Pei Shurou.
The forr was an old acquaintance, and Chu Xuan wasn’t surprised at all to see him, but he was a little surprised to see Pei Shurou here as well.
Chu Xuan had thought she had just co for a stroll and would return to rest after attending the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
Gu Haitang naturally rushed forward to greet the seniors.
She had already decided to explore with Chu Xuan, and now she pleaded with the two masters.
Li Yucheng frowned but said nothing, while Pei Shurou pulled Haitang aside for a detailed discussion, mainly concerned about her safety.
Qingqing was silently hoping that this Gu woman would be stopped by her sect elders, and then rejoiced too soon.
"Saintess, do you need to personally fetch you?"
This was an old, hoarse female voice, Qingqing startled, turned to see the arrival of a large contingent from Li’an Demon Sect.
There were over a hundred cultivators, the sect banner unfurled, Demonic Qi surging, causing all the surrounding cultivators to retreat in panic, drawing frowns from several major righteous sects nearby.
The leaders of Li’an Demon Sect were also two people, one was a white-haired old woman in a black robe, holding a feathered serpent staff.
The other was a mysterious man wearing a black mask, who exuded an intense aura of oppression.
Facing the cold gaze of the white-haired old woman, Qingqing looked bitter and spoke lowly to Chu Xuan:
"Then I’ll leave now, you, you take care."
Chu Xuan couldn’t help but grasp Qingqing’s hand, and he said earnestly, "I’ll say it again, if you don’t want to go back with them, just tell , I won’t let anyone force you."
Qingqing felt her nose sting at his words, hurriedly lowered her head, not wanting Chu Xuan to see her eyes brimming with tears.
"Fool, what nonsense are you saying."
"No one is forcing , the Demon Sect is my ho, can I never go ho again?"
With that, she suppressed her heartache and broke free from Chu Xuan’s hand, "Then I will go back, I hope, I hope to see you again."
With those words, Qingqing decisively turned and flew away, for if she stayed any longer, she feared she would lose the courage to leave, and might even drag Chu Xuan into it.
