Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu walked side by side for a long distance, and no one spoke.
"Cousin, in the matter of cultivation, you should be diligent and let nature take its course. Why are you working so hard?" In the end, Shen Luo broke the silence first and asked.
After he finished speaking, he felt a little funny. Nie Caizhu's cultivation was now much higher than his, so speaking like this was somewhat suspicious of her being a teacher.
"There is no other way. After being brought back to the sect by Master, I have always wanted to go back, but she never allowed it. She gave a death order that before my cultivation reached the Dacheng Stage, I would never be allowed to leave the sect." Nie Caizhu said.
"Is she not good to you?" Shen Luo's heart moved slightly as he asked.
"No, don't get me wrong, Master is very good to me. As the current Sect Master of Mount Putuo, she is busy with her own affairs, but she has never been perfunctory in teaching me cultivation. Otherwise, no matter how diligent I am, it would be impossible for me to have my current cultivation. "Nie Caizhu hurriedly waved her hand and explained.
"That's good … I thought it would be many years before I could see you again. I didn't expect … you to come to Mount Putuo so soon." Shen Luo sighed faintly and said.
Nie Caizhu stopped and turned to look at Shen Luo carefully. Suddenly, her eyes became a little red.
"What's wrong?" Shen Luo saw this and thought that he had said something wrong, and his expression suddenly became a little flustered.
"It was only after I started cultivating that I realized how hard it was to cultivate. With the help of the sect, I felt that I couldn't hold on many times. You must have had a hard time all the way, right? "Nie Caizhu frowned and said faintly.
Seeing this, Shen Luo's heart warmed. Looking at the woman in front of him who had no childishness, it was as if he had returned to the time in Spring Flower City. He couldn't help but raise his hand and pat her head gently.
"Even though I don't have the support of a sect, I've met a lot of people over the years. So, it's not as hard as you think," Shen Luo said with a smile.
Even though he had risked his life several times over the years and was constantly on the brink of death, it really didn't seem that difficult anymore.
"Eh? Is that Junior Sister Nie?" At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from nearby.
Only then did Shen Luo realize that the two of them had unknowingly walked to a small square. Although there were not many people at night, they still attracted a lot of attention.
After a female disciple who noticed the two of them called out, the other three or four people in the surroundings also cast their gazes over.
"Who is that person? He doesn't look like a disciple of our sect …"
"How could this be? Why is Junior Sister Nie so close to this person?"
"It's actually not Senior Brother Zhou Yu …"
"That person's appearance isn't bad, but he's far inferior to Senior Brother Zhou Yu …"
…
For a moment, whispers and discussions could be heard all around.
Shen Luo frowned slightly, but without much hesitation, he directly grabbed Nie Caizhu's slender jade hand and slowly walked forward.
Nie Caizhu didn't resist in the slightest, but her ears were slightly hot as she followed him without a word, leaving behind the shocked disciples of Mount Putuo, who all let out cries of surprise.
In the dark shadows of a tree, Wu Ming clutched the trunk of a nearby tree, his five fingers digging into the bark, his eyes filled with jealousy and anger.
But after a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he let out a long sigh, muttering to himself, "It seems that his ambition isn't with Junior Sister Li Shu. Now it's not me who should be worried, heh heh …"
After saying this, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and rushed to Zhou Yu's cave mansion.
As Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu walked out of the square, the surroundings fell silent again, but neither of them let go of each other's hands.
"When did you know that I came to Mount Putuo?" Shen Luo asked.
He knew that it wasn't a coincidence that Nie Caizhu suddenly came out of seclusion today.
"When it was close to evening, Senior Sister Lu Ying suddenly sent a message, saying that there was a lecher from the Great Tang government who claimed to be my fiancé and asked me if I should help teach him a lesson. At first, I didn't dare to believe it was you, but I still hoped it was you, so I ended my seclusion and came out early. But I didn't expect to meet you here in the Purple Bamboo Forest as soon as I came out, "Nie Caizhu said slowly.
"It must be Fellow Daoist Li Shu who told her." Shen Luo couldn't help but smile.
"Cousin, why are you representing the Great Tang government to participate in this Immortal Apricot Conference?" Nie Caizhu asked doubtfully.
"It's a bit long to explain …" Shen Luo didn't know where to start.
"It's fine. Take your time. I'll listen." Nie Caizhu's lips curled into a smile as she spoke.
The last bit of awkwardness that the two of them had when they first met was now gone.
"At that time, not long after you left, I also left Chunhua County and went all the way …" Shen Luo started to narrate his experiences over the years bit by bit.
But he hid the details of the jade pillow and the dream. The content of this was really too unimaginable, and even Nie Caizhu couldn't completely believe it.
The sound of their footsteps and Shen Luo's whispers echoed in the mountain path, making the night in the mountain even more tranquil.
Listening to Shen Luo's calm narration, Nie Caizhu was able to discover many dangers from it, and her mood was like the wind, fluctuating between high and low.
Shen Luo also didn't reveal the fact that his lifespan was nearing its end to Nie Caizhu, but the latter was able to discern some clues from his words, and she pursed her lips and didn't speak for a long time.
At this moment, a green light suddenly fell from the sky, and a graceful figure appeared in the void three feet above their heads in front of the two.
She wore a green gauze dress, and her snow white feet were bare. She stood in the air, and her delicate face didn't have any makeup on. Her unique green long hair draped behind her, and her entire body emitted a cold and otherworldly temperament.
Shen Luo recognized her at a glance. This person was the Immortal Master of Mount Putuo that took away Nie Caizhu all those years ago.
Upon seeing this, Nie Caizhu hurriedly released Shen Luo's hand and stepped forward to salute, "Master."
"Greetings, Master Qing Lian." Shen Luo also cupped his fists and saluted.
"Even if you're sending someone off, it's about time to go back." The woman's expression didn't change as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Nie Caizhu looked at Shen Luo with some reluctance.
Shen Luo smiled and nodded at her, and Nie Caizhu reluctantly said, "Yes."
She turned around and walked a few steps, but when she looked back, she found that her Master Qing Lian was still standing in the same place, and it seemed that he didn't intend to leave immediately.
She frowned and wanted to walk back to say something, but she saw Shen Luo waving at her.
"You go back first," Shen Luo said.
Nie Caizhu pursed her lips, and then completely left.
