Seeing that they had left, the founder heaved a sigh of relief. Looking in the direction that Su Yin had disappeared in, a look of infatuation surfaced in his eyes. Gritting his teeth, he muttered, "Little Yu 'er, I won't let you off this time …"
After saying those words, he dashed in the direction that Su Yin had escaped in.
…
"Where am I?"
Su Yin hurriedly fled.
Even though he had borrowed Song Yu's power of Heaven's Path, he didn't dare to fly too high. Otherwise, he would be easily discovered. Thus, he could only run amok among the buildings. In order to avoid the elders and experts who might notice his movements, he didn't dare to return to the main hall of the Groom Selection Assembly. After walking for a while, he realized that …
He was lost!
Even though the Frigid Cloud Sect wasn't too big, it still occupied an area of a thousand mu. Many of the main halls were similar to one another, and considering that they weren't allowed to wander around in the dark, it would be strange if he didn't get lost.
It was fortunate that he had the jade token that the other party had given him. Otherwise, if he were to wander around aimlessly, he would have long suffered the retaliation of the Guardian Formation of the Sect.
"I should return to the main hall of the Groom Selection Assembly …"
Looking at the sealed Frigid Cloud Sect, Su Yin gnashed his teeth helplessly.
At this moment, it would be the most dangerous for him to escape.
And the safest place was probably the Groom Selection Assembly. It was pitch-black earlier, and he had borrowed Song Yu's power, so his disposition and appearance were completely different from his. Even if the other party saw him, they might not be able to recognize him.
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan was just about to get his bearings when he suddenly heard a hurried whimpering sound behind him.
Turning around, Su Yin's eyebrows shot up.
The founder had actually managed to find this direction and was chasing after him!
"It's over …"
Knowing that it would be difficult for him to escape once the other party caught up to him, Su Yin couldn't care less anymore. With a swift movement, he leaped into the courtyard before him.
He had to avoid the other party first.
Hu!
As soon as he leaped in, he heard a gust of wind blowing past the walls. It seemed like the other party was already far away.
"I managed to escape this calamity …"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Su Yin looked at the courtyard.
It was extremely spacious, several times larger than the guest room that he and Shao Qing were in. Even though the temperature on the mountain was cold, there were all kinds of flowers in the courtyard...
"Although the Frigid Cloud Sect doesn't plant medicinal herbs, they are no stranger to planting medicinal herbs. There should be some kind of insulation seal set up here …"
As an elixir sect, the Frigid Cloud Sect didn't cultivate medicinal herbs. However, it didn't mean that it didn't know how to cultivate medicinal herbs. The insulation method of this courtyard was a common seal in medicinal gardens.
It was just that … maintaining the seal required a huge amount of immortal qi, medicinal herbs, and harvesting ordinary plants. It was indeed a little too wasteful!
However, what he planted in this courtyard was none of his business. He had to leave as soon as possible.
Zhang Xuan listened for a moment, but there was no sound outside. Just as he was about to leap out and continue searching for the location of the Groom Selection Convention, he heard a calm voice coming from the direction of the room.
"Little Xin, Mu Ruanxin …"
Her voice was clear and melodious. Before she finished speaking, the owner of the voice seemed to have thought of something and paused. "I forgot that she went to attend the groom selection. Forget it …"
Su Yin looked in the direction of the sound. Inside the window, light spilled out through the gauze curtains, and the faint sound of splashing water could be heard.
Huala!
The sound of splashing water grew louder and louder, and a naked figure walked out of the window.
Her skin was as white as snow, and her jet-black hair was draped over her shoulders. Her legs were long and straight, and her abdomen was flat. Her waist was slender, and she was actually a peerless beauty. Furthermore, she had just finished bathing, and there were still water droplets on her body.
Su Yin was stunned, and just as he was about to turn his head away to avoid looking at her, the laws that Song Yu's hair had drawn upon suddenly began to circulate uncontrollably. He straightened his back, and his immortal energy transformed into a folding fan. His clothes had also turned white at some point, and he now had a golden belt around his waist. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and his aura seemed to soar.
What the heck …
Su Yin's mouth twitched. It was only then that he realized that Song Yu's laws were bad at everything, but she was the best at acting cool …
Not only so, his mouth also began to speak in a magnetic voice, "Guan Guan Ju Jiu, in the River State. A fair lady, a gentleman's mate. The night is long, and I thought that I was the only one who couldn't sleep. Who would have thought that you couldn't sleep as well … "
"Who are you?"
As soon as Zhang Xuan spoke those words, the lady before him leaped in shock. She reached out and wrapped her clothes around her body, wrapping them tightly around her exquisite figure.
After doing all that, she turned her gaze over, and her face immediately darkened. "Lecher, you're courting death!"
After saying those words, she released her aura, and dense killing intent burst forth from her body.
Clearly, this fellow had touched her bottom line by peeking at her while she was bathing.
"Fairy, I only came here by coincidence. I didn't do it intentionally."
With the interference of the laws of nature, Su Yin continued to speak uncontrollably. "However, a mistake is a mistake. I'm willing to accept my punishment. You can do whatever you want to me. I won't resist at all!"
"Very well, you can go to hell then!"
A sword appeared in the lady's hand, and her figure morphed into a streak of light as she charged toward the young man.
Just as the sword was about to reach his glabella, Su Yin raised his hand and said, "Please wait!"
"Why? Are you afraid?" The lady stopped five meters away from Zhang Xuan and sneered coldly. "I've seen plenty of people like you. You speak of righteousness, but in truth, you're just a coward!"
"Fairy, you're wrong!"
Shaking his head, Su Yin took a step forward and grabbed the tip of the other party's sword. Placing it on his chest, he said, "I really don't fear death. It's just that … I've just seen the most perfect masterpiece of the creator, the most beautiful face in my heart. If I were to die just like that, I wouldn't be able to accept it!"
The lady narrowed her eyes. "You sure have a glib tongue. You're indeed a lecher!"
Despite her vicious words, the killing intent in her voice was no longer as intense as before.
"I'm speaking the truth!" Su Yin took a step forward and placed his chest against the tip of the other party's sword. "If you don't believe me, you can cut open my heart and take a look. I'm not lying at all!"
Not expecting the other party to walk straight toward the tip of her sword, the young lady frowned and took a step back. She didn't think that the other party would actually walk right toward her sword.
"Actually, I'm a painter, and I've been searching for the most beautiful thing in the world. I thought that it would be impossible for me to find it, but the moment I saw you, I realized that it was here! Even if I were to die now, it wouldn't be a big deal anymore … "
Su Yin continued walking forward.
"Y-you! If you take another step forward, I'll really stab you!" The lady gritted her teeth.
"It's my fault for accidentally seeing you, and I'm willing to bear the consequences. Stab me. To be able to die in your hands, my life has been worth it. I only hope that you'll remember me after death … "
Su Yin's eyes dimmed. It seemed like he was reluctant to part with her.
Seeing Zhang Xuan's expression, the hand that the lady used to hold her sword began sweating. It was only then that she realized that the killing intent in her heart had already dissipated. Biting her lips, she said, "Since you didn't do it on purpose, I won't kill you. You can leave now!"
She was none other than the Holy Maiden of the Frigid Cloud Sect.
Growing up in a sect dominated by females, she had never seen a member of the opposite sex before. This was the first time she was seeing a member of the opposite sex. She didn't think much of it previously, but now that her killing intent was gone, she was at a loss for what to do.
Su Yin shook his head. "My heart is already here. Even if I were to leave, where can I go?"
Seeing that the lady was silent, Su Yin continued, "I know that it's a little abrupt for me to say this, but the moment I saw you, I knew that my heart was no longer in my control!"
The Holy Maiden had never experienced such a situation before, and she felt a little vexed. Waving her hand, she said, "You should leave. Otherwise, if the elders find out that you have barged into the Frigid Cloud Sect, they won't let you off …"
"Alright, I'll come back to see you!"
Su Yin chuckled softly. Just as he was about to leap out of the wall, he heard hurried knocking on the door. Following which, a voice sounded, "Holy Maiden, did you notice anything amiss in the courtyard? Did anyone come in? "
"Amiss? What happened? "
The Holy Maiden frowned.
"It seems like someone has barged into the sect. We have ordered the sect master to investigate the area!" the voice continued.
"I see!" The Holy Maiden replied. She turned to look at Su Yin and pondered for a moment before saying, "I didn't notice anything here. You should head elsewhere to investigate!"
"Yes!"
The voice replied. Following which, the footsteps drifted further and further away.
Not knowing why she would lie to an outsider to deceive the disciples of the sect, the Holy Maiden's face reddened. Shaking her head, she said, "You should hurry up and leave …"
After saying those words, she turned to look at the young man once more. Unknowingly, the other party was holding a piece of white paper in his left hand and a brush in his right hand. On the paper, a beautiful silhouette slowly surfaced.
He was actually painting!
Hu!
The brush came to a halt, and the Holy Maiden took a closer look. It was a painting of a beautiful lady. Her beauty was reminiscent of the clouds in the sky, and at the same time, reminiscent of a fairy soaring through the heavens. Judging from her appearance, who else could it be other than herself?
With a reddened face, the Holy Maiden was just about to ask the other party how he could paint so quickly when she took another look at the painting, and her body jolted in shock. "This painting …"
As the Holy Maiden, she only had one goal in mind … to form a marriage alliance with the Sanctum!
As such, not only did she have to be talented and cultivate well, she also had to learn the four arts of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting from a young age. Painting was one of the most important aspects of her life.
Over the past decade or so, even though her comprehension of painting couldn't match up to some of the masters, she could still be considered top-notch.
However … upon seeing the other party's painting, she realized that what she had learned wasn't worth mentioning at all!
Be it in terms of technique, composition, layout, color, or rendering … the other party's painting had reached the pinnacle of perfection. Her portrait in the painting felt as if it would come to life at any moment.
It was a priceless treasure!
Even some of the grandmasters might not be able to produce such a formidable painting. It was truly a priceless painting …
"This is for you!"
Su Yin chuckled as he passed the painting over. At the same time, he plucked a rose and placed it in the other party's hair. After taking a look at it, he couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment. "This is the first time I've realized that flowers can be so ugly …"
"I …"
Taking the other party's painting, the Holy Maiden heard those words and felt her face burning furiously. Her heart thumped furiously, and she couldn't help but feel a little light-headed.
Just as she was at a loss for words, the young man suddenly approached her once more. At this point, he was already less than ten centimeters away from her.
The heat from the young man's body made her even more flustered. His unique scent made her feel even more anxious. Just as she was at a loss for what to do, she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder.
With a light tug, she couldn't help but lean into the other party's embrace.
"You …" The Holy Maiden felt her head spinning, and she felt both angry and embarrassed at the same time.
"Shh, don't speak!" Su Yin placed his finger on her lips, and his voice was as gentle as a breeze. "Listen to my heartbeat. Listen to its yearning and cries for you. Let it tell you my true thoughts."
The Holy Maiden tried to push the other party away, but her body suddenly felt a little soft. She couldn't exert the strength and cultivation that she had previously.
She was so embarrassed that she could hear the other party's heartbeat. It sounded like a drum or a bell, and every single beat was firm and resolute, as if it was telling her something.
After listening to it for a while, her vision began to blur. She suddenly felt that it wasn't a bad choice to continue leaning into the other party's embrace. She discreetly raised her head, and it was only then that she realized that the other party's disposition and appearance were exactly what she had hoped for.
As the Holy Maiden, she had no choice but to marry into the Sanctum of Sages. Even though she had no choice but to marry into the Sanctum of Sages, such thoughts still existed in her mind.
In that instant, the figure that she had been looking forward to had silently fused together with the young man before her.
The Holy Maiden suddenly felt a little dazed. She couldn't tell if she was dreaming or if it was real. Just as she was immersed in the tranquility of the world, the young man's heart suddenly began to beat faster and faster, and his body stiffened.
The Holy Maiden raised her head in confusion, only to see that the young man before her had lost his disposition and grace. His face was a little pale.
"You … What's wrong?" the Holy Maiden asked doubtfully.
It was just a moment ago that the other party was so protective of her, and his voice was so gentle. Why did he suddenly change?
"It's nothing. I-I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first …"
Su Yin shuddered. He turned to look at the young lady before him, and as if he had seen a ghost, he suddenly turned around and leaped over the wall. In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared into the night.
"You …"
Not expecting the other party to run away so quickly, the Holy Maiden was stunned. Disappointment surfaced in her eyes as she muttered, "Y-you still haven't told me your name …"
In the instant that she had leaned against the other party's chest, her heart had already been moved!
But the first person who had moved her heart was someone she didn't even know his name …
She hurriedly pushed open the door and walked out, but there was not a single person in sight.
"Who is he? Where did he come from? "
In an instant, the Holy Maiden fell into a daze.
…
In contrast to the Holy Maiden's daze, Su Yin, who had just escaped from the courtyard, ran for eight minutes before he finally came to a halt. He hid in a corner and panted heavily.
At this moment, his face was as red as a ripe apple.
Naturally, what had happened earlier had nothing to do with him. It was all a result of Song Yu's manipulation of the laws of the Great Path.
It was fortunate that the power harnessed in the hair was limited, and the power of laws had dissipated after a short while. Otherwise, who knew what he would have done?
Recalling his previous actions and the embarrassed look on the Holy Maiden's face, Su Yin couldn't help but clench his fists tightly as despair surfaced in his eyes.
"What a sin!"
