The night was dim and the mountain breeze was gentle. Although it was a bit chilly, for some reason, it was no longer as gloomy as before. Instead, there was some warmth. Perhaps people were like this. As long as someone was with them, they would feel better.
Loneliness was the deepest fear in the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, after a moment of silence, Yi Xin finally told Lu Chen what had happened during this period of time. After returning to Kunwu City from the Land of Chaos, the Yi family, who were anxious because she had secretly left home, was naturally overjoyed. Although they scolded her a few times, they were glad that nothing serious had happened. However, there were three people who had left, but only one person was left when they returned. Moreover, the other two were genuine Kunlun disciples. Of course, this matter couldn't be easily brushed aside.
Soon, someone from the Kunlun Party came down to inquire about this matter. Yi Xin truthfully told them what happened on Black Armor Mountain. At first, everyone sighed with emotion and didn't think too much about it. Even He Gang's elder brother, Senior Martial Brother He Yi, who was well-known in the Kunlun Party, came over. In the end, he also left in silence and didn't make things difficult for Yi Xin.
No one believed that a little girl like Yi Xin, who hadn't even formally entered the Kunlun Party, would have the intention or ability to harm those two people.
The following days were peaceful for a period of time. Soon, it was time for the Kunlun Party's Immortal Appraisal Assembly. At this time, a message from Jin Dan Friar, who had taken a liking to Yi Xin, came from Kunlun Mountain. The gist of the message was that Dongfang Tao, a Daoist expert, had suffered more serious injuries than expected. He still had to go into Closed Door Meditation for a period of time, and it was unknown when he would come out. However, Yi Xin was already of age. If she didn't go up the mountain to learn martial arts, she would probably be delayed.
Therefore, according to Dongfang Tao's arrangements, the Yi family sent Yi Xin to Kunlun and she successfully entered a sect. In the end, Dongfang Tao arranged for her to become an official disciple in Baicao Tang.
Speaking of which, the status of an official disciple was much higher than that of a servant disciple. An official disciple only needed to cultivate and did not need to do any work to obtain cultivation resources. Of course, the prerequisite for such treatment was that one had to be talented enough and have a strong background. In short, up to this point, Yi Xin had been living a good life. She was full of hope for the future, happily cultivating on Kunlun Mountain with peace of mind.
But a month later, the situation suddenly changed. He Gang, one of the three from that day, actually returned. According to him, he was surrounded by a pack of terrifying black jackals and crazily gnawed on him. Later, he accidentally fell off a cliff and happened to fall into a pool of water below. That was how he managed to escape.
Even so, He Gang still suffered greatly. Not only was his handsome face completely ruined, his vitality was also greatly damaged. His cultivation was mostly gone and there were many serious injuries on his body. When he was discovered at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, he was already on the verge of death. No one knew how he managed to make it back.
Fortunately, he had a powerful brother, He Yi, who loved him dearly. When he found out about this, he immediately tried his best and used many good medicines and miraculous pills to save him. He even recovered most of his cultivation, which was a great fortune amidst the misfortune.
But from then on, He Gang seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person, perhaps because he had received too much stimulation in the Land of Chaos. His personality was abnormally extreme, and he often quarreled and provoked others. Others, on account of his pitiful experience and He Yi's face, would usually give him some leeway. Then, He Gang discovered Yi Xin, who was also on Kunlun Mountain …
…
It was hard to imagine what He Gang was thinking when he saw Yi Xin. But Yi Xin was very surprised at first. Although she was a little afraid when she saw He Gang's terrifying face, she was still happy that he had survived.
But He Gang's reaction was beyond Yi Xin's expectation. When he saw Yi Xin, he was stunned for a long time before he stepped back. But soon, he suddenly rushed over with a roar, grabbed Yi Xin's hand, and asked the two of them to become cultivation companions. Then, he began to grope her.
Yi Xin was scared out of her wits. Needless to say, she resisted with all her might. After she finally escaped, she soon heard that He Gang was spreading rumors in the Kunlun Party. He said that when they went south to the Land of Chaos, the two of them were already in love and had privately pledged to marry each other. It was also because he was deeply in love with Yi Xin that He Gang had risked his life to distract all the dogs when they encountered the terrifying pack of black jackals on the Black Armor Mountain, so that Yi Xin could escape alone and he would be doomed eternally.
But now, when Yi Xin saw that his cultivation was damaged, especially his face, she actually turned her back on him!
When she heard this, Yi Xin was completely dumbfounded. And things took a turn for the worse, especially when He Gang's elder brother, He Yi, felt sorry for his younger brother's misfortune and publicly said that Yi Xin was ungrateful. For a while, there were many discussions about this matter in the Kunlun sect. Even if Yi Xin tried her best to explain that the situation was not like that at that time, not many people openly expressed sympathy for her.
At the same time, He Gang became even more entangled with her. He came to harass her every two or three days, and insisted that she become cultivation companions with him. The scene that Lu Chen saw at the edge of the forest in Shipan Valley during the day was the scene that had been repeated in the past few days.
Hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood and did not speak for a while.
It was quiet inside and outside the mountain pavilion at this moment, only the light sound of the wind could be heard. Yi Xin quietly looked up at Lu Chen, but found that sitting across the table, he was looking at her with a pair of bright eyes, and the expression in his eyes was a little strange.
"Brother Lu, why, why are you looking at me like that?" For some reason, Yi Xin suddenly felt a little guilty and carefully asked.
Lu Chen looked at her, thought for a while and asked, "Before I met you, there was really nothing between you and He Gang, right?"
"No, really!" Yi Xin suddenly stood up, looking anxious, and loudly said, "Brother Lu, I swear to the heavens, there is absolutely no love affair between me and Senior Martial Brother He. At that time, I only thought of him as an older brother, and followed him and Martial Uncle Han to gain experience."
Lu Chen nodded, indicating for her to calm down. Then he muttered to himself for a while and said, "This matter is not a big deal. Not to mention Spiritual Master Yuanying, even the sect's Jin Dan Friar would be too lazy to care. Oh, speaking of which, don't you also have a backer? Ask your Master Dongfang Tao to come out and say something. Although that He Yi's prospects are good, but as far as I know, Dongfang Tao is a veteran Jin Dan Friar, and has achieved Jin Dan for at least ten years. With this kind of experience, many people would have to give him face. "
Yi Xin's face was sullen, and her expression was full of grievance. She said, "Master Dongfang, he … his injuries are not light. That day, after arranging for me to enter the sect, he went into seclusion again. He only said that after he came out, he would perform the ceremony of becoming my disciple. Before that, he first let me follow Baicao Tang to practice some basic techniques. I, I really have no choice … "
Lu Chen was startled, shook his head, and quietly said to himself, "This old man is a good hands-off shopkeeper. Why do I feel that he is quite similar to that damn baldy?"
