The distance between the first and second mountains was the furthest. Even for an expert like Long Fei Ye, he had to use the bridge five or six times to cross it.
However, it had to be said that the scenery here was very good. Long Fei Ye deliberately slowed down to let Han Yunxi take her time to enjoy the scenery.
She remembered the first time this guy carried her and flew. Han Yunxi was both scared and surprised, but now, she was already used to it. It wasn't that she was no longer afraid of heights, but she believed that the man carrying her could really protect her.
"Long Fei Ye, the first time you carried me and flew, I was really scared," said Han Yunxi.
"What were you scared of?" asked Long Fei Ye.
"I was scared that you would throw me down if you were unhappy," replied Han Yunxi.
Long Fei Ye was stunned at first, but then he laughed out loud. "Would this prince?"
"Yes." Han Yunxi was very sure, and then she added, "You definitely would back then!"
"Then what about now? Would you? "asked Long Fei Ye again.
"Definitely not." Han Yunxi was still very sure.
Long Fei Ye nodded and didn't say much. After a long time, he suddenly said, "Han Yunxi, actually you wouldn't have back then either. Definitely not."
Han Yunxi didn't agree. She still remembered how cold, indifferent, and ruthless he was back then. It seemed like he would get annoyed if she said anything more, and he would just ignore her every time.
Han Yunxi was about to argue, but Long Fei Ye asked, "Do you know why you wouldn't have?"
"I don't know." Han Yunxi waited for him to say the reason, and then refuted.
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye smiled and sighed faintly. "This prince also doesn't know why, but in any case, I didn't abandon you."
Because …
Because he liked her long ago?
Long Fei Ye, when did you start to like me? Was it … earlier than me?
"Yes, why?"
Han Yunxi sighed softly and unconsciously hugged him tightly.
At this time, Xu Donglin, who was leading the way, suddenly turned back. "Master, there's someone blocking the way. It's a woman."
Xu Donglin was indeed Han Yunxi's Shadow Guard. His words were obviously meant for Han Yunxi.
"It's already April. Why are there still so many peach blossoms?" Han Yunxi sighed.
The meaning behind her words was clear, but it was a pity that Xu Donglin did not understand. He honestly said, "Princess Consort, the temperature of the Heaven Mountain is lower than the bottom of the mountain, so the peach blossoms bloom later. Right now is the time when the peach blossoms are blooming."
"Is that so? How vigorous is it?" Han Yunxi asked lazily.
"It's all over the mountain. You'll be able to see it when you get to the front. The entire mountainside is filled with flowers, like a sea of flowers. It's very beautiful." Xu Donglin replied excitedly.
Han Yunxi was very satisfied. She smiled and did not say anything else.
Xu Donglin was about to speak when he suddenly met Long Fei Ye's icy gaze. Although he did not understand where he went wrong, he knew that he must have said something wrong.
He trembled a few times and hurriedly retreated to the side, not daring to speak again.
Long Fei Ye carried Han Yunxi and continued forward after using the bamboo bridge as leverage. He did not take Xu Donglin's report to heart.
Actually, there was another reason why he did not like to come to Heaven Mountain. The female disciples were too annoying.
Not long after, he saw a woman standing in the air in front of him. She was dressed in a light yellow long dress. The hem of her dress was three feet long and flowed down. She held a light muslin shawl in her hand, looking elegant and light. Her hair was combed into a bun that was decorated with light yellow pearls. She was beautiful and noble.
She stood in the air, her long dress fluttering in the wind. Her ink-black hair fluttered in the wind. She was like a fairy who had descended into the mortal world. Everything about her was beautiful, and she was perfectly matched. However, her face was very ugly.
Some people had average looks but could make up for it with makeup and clothes. However, some people were destined to be unable to cover up their lack of looks no matter how they dressed up.
Han Yunxi only felt that it was a pity for the long dress.
"Who's this peach blossom?" she asked softly.
Long Fei Ye clearly did not take the newcomer seriously. He carried Han Yunxi and continued flying forward. "Cang Qiuying."
Han Yunxi only felt that the name was very familiar but could not recall it. However, she was too lazy to ask. Why would she need to know these unimportant names?
Cang Qiuying was indifferent to Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi approaching. However, when Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi passed by her, she said Cold, "Long Fei Ye, if someone without martial arts wants to go to Heaven Mountain, they have to cross this bridge step by step. Have you forgotten?"
Long Fei Ye did not answer and continued forward. Cang Qiuying suddenly drew her sword and several sword-wielding women flew out from the abyss under the bridge. They lined up to block Long Fei Ye's path.
"Get lost!" Long Fei Ye said.
"What if I say no?" Cang Qiuying asked back.
Long Fei Ye was about to make a move when a powerful sword qi suddenly rushed over. Then, an old woman over fifty years old flew over with a sword. Han Yunxi noticed the jade pendant on her waist. It was a transparent jade token.
Besides Elder Kenzō, only the Four Great Elders had transparent jade tokens. Among the Four Great Elders, only the Fourth Elder, Granny You, who was in charge of the Abstinence Courtyard, was a woman.
Cang Qiuying was overjoyed when she saw Granny You. "Aunt You, Senior Brother Ye has violated the sect rules. Do you want me to call my father?"
Cang Qiuying seemed to be making things difficult for Long Fei Ye but she was actually looking for trouble with Han Yunxi!
If she could force Long Feiye to abide by the sect's rules, then Han Yunxi would have to cross the bamboo bridge step by step to reach Celestial Mountain.
Not to mention a woman, even a man who did not know martial arts would find it impossible to cross this bridge. Those who didn't fall would be scared to death.
"The Abstinence Courtyard doesn't have jurisdiction over the sect rules. Why do you need your father?" Granny You asked Coldly.
Her expression was cold and solemn and her words were methodical, exuding a majesty that could not be disobeyed. She was a neutral party in the conflict between the factions on Tianshan Mountain. She was not biased towards anyone.
Someone had reported Long Fei Ye for violating the sect rules, so she naturally had to come in person.
"Aunt You is right. Qiuying was too rash." Cang Qiuying retreated to the side. In fact, the person who had reported Long Fei Ye to the Abstinence Courtyard was none other than her subordinates.
Cang Qiuying controlled many industries on Sky Mountain. Coupled with her identity as the First Elder's daughter, she was considered an all-powerful figure among the younger generation. She had not dared to go out in the past two years because of the embarrassment of her marriage.
If she hadn't learned that Long Fei Ye had brought Han Yunxi up the mountain, she wouldn't have come out so easily today.
Although she had obediently followed her father's orders to get engaged to Tang Li, she still loved him. In the end, the one she truly loved was Long Fei Ye. She knew that her father and Long Fei Ye were destined to be irreconcilable enemies one day, so she could only hide her feelings in her heart.
She accepted that she would never be able to have Long Fei Ye in this lifetime.
But she couldn't just stand by and watch Long Fei Ye bring another woman up Sky Mountain!
Sky Mountain was her Cang Clan's territory. She would never let Han Yunxi have it easy.
Granny You looked at Han Yunxi with disdain. She hated useless women like her the most. Aside from causing trouble for men, they didn't know how to do anything else.
What was she doing here if she didn't know martial arts?
Of course, she had no right to meddle in Long Fei Ye's private affairs. His master should be in charge of such matters, while she only cared about the sect rules.
Coldly, she said, "Feiye, we're not even halfway across the bridge yet. Take her back and walk step by step across the bridge. This old woman will pretend nothing happened. But if you insist on going forward, don't blame the Abstinence Hall for not giving your master face. "
Of course Long Fei Ye knew the sect rules, but he didn't expect these people to investigate Han Yunxi so thoroughly. They even knew she didn't know martial arts.
The Abstinence Hall didn't involve itself in factional disputes. Moreover, Granny You was a just and impartial person. Although it wasn't easy to win her over, he couldn't afford to offend her.
Moreover, this was the sect's rule. Even Granny You had personally stepped in. If he were to openly break the rules, he would be caught red-handed before he even reached the mountain.
It wasn't wise to force his way through, much less Han Yunxi.
Long Fei Ye didn't hesitate to circulate his qi and channel his internal energy into Han Yunxi's body. After all, Han Yunxi wasn't a martial arts wastrel. On the contrary, her talents were twice as good as Duanmu Yao's. She didn't even need to be sealed to receive Tianshan Kenzō's internal energy. As long as she had internal energy, with her talents, he only needed to teach her one or two sword moves and she'd be able to learn them immediately.
Although this would waste a lot of his internal energy, he was willing to risk it all.
The crowd was alarmed at the sight. Long Fei Ye's actions were too risky.
"Feiye, have you gone mad? She has no foundation in internal energy at all. Moreover, she hasn't been sealed yet. If you rashly transfer your internal energy to her, you'll definitely go mad! "Granny You scolded.
Only then did Han Yunxi realize what Long Fei Ye was planning. She quickly pushed his hand aside. "Long Fei Ye, I don't want it!"
"It's fine. Be good," Long Fei Ye murmured.
"I don't want it!" Han Yunxi gripped his hand tightly. "Even if I don't go mad, I still don't want you to waste any of your internal energy. I won't allow it!"
He had a lot to face on this trip to Celestial Mountain. She wouldn't let herself be a burden to him. She was here to help him!
They were going to leave the mountain together before mid-autumn!
Long Fei Ye was about to coax her when Han Yunxi said coldly, "If you insist, I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain! Trust me, I can walk across. "
"There's no room for discussion," Long Fei Ye's tone was Cold. He refused to budge.
Han Yunxi took his hand and intertwined her fingers with his. "Long Fei Ye, I trust you. I trust that you've never abandoned me in the past, nor will you do so now. Hold my hand and cross the bridge. We'll walk together, alright? "
Han Yunxi's eyes held not only determination and stubbornness, but also trust. Long Fei Ye could ignore her stubbornness and determination, but he couldn't ignore her trust in him.
Finally, he nodded. "Alright, I'll walk with you."
He ignored Granny You and Cang Qiuying as he carried Han Yunxi and flew across the bridge.
Granny You didn't expect Han Yunxi to have such courage. Her impression of Han Yunxi had changed a little, but only a little.
"Men, go and keep an eye on her. Make sure she walks over step by step," Granny You said Cold. She believed in Long Fei Ye's credibility, but she didn't believe in Han Yunxi.
That lass looks so weak that she can't even stand up to a gust of wind. Who knows, she might cry the moment she stands on the bridge!
"Yes!" Several maidservants obeyed and left. Granny You landed in the middle of the bridge and waited.
"Auntie You, I'll go take a look too!" Cang Qiuying hurriedly chased after her. She couldn't wait to see Han Yunxi make a fool of herself!
