[Quiet Bamboo Pavilion] was a secluded place among the halls and buildings of Small Bamboo Valley, near the back of the mountain, surrounded by verdant [Tears Bamboo], from time to time the mountain breeze blew past, the bamboo leaves gently swayed, giving one a feeling of tranquility. Shuiyue Master had always liked to come here, to be alone, so the other Small Bamboo Valley disciples were also very familiar with this place.
Lu XueQi walked through the cloister and stepped onto the small path in the bamboo forest that was paved with smooth pebbles. The path was winding and deep into the bamboo forest. Very soon, she came to the house that was built with bamboo. From the outside, it looked simple and unadorned. The walls were made of beads, but who knew how much wind and rain had passed through. At this moment, there were faint marks on them. On both sides of the house, there was a small window, indistinctly saw Shuiyue Master sitting quietly inside.
Lu XueQi walked to the door, the same bamboo door was left ajar, for some reason, she felt nervous, took a deep breath, said, "Teacher, I am XueQi, did you call me?"
Shuiyue Master's voice was heard from the house, flat and emotionless, said, "Yes, come in."
Lu XueQi pulled herself together, pushed the door open and walked in. The furnishings in the house were very simple, tables and chairs, tea set, another desk by the window, on it there was paper, inkstone, brush and ink, Shuiyue Master was not a person who liked luxury. Right now she was sitting at the desk by the window, quietly watching the bamboo forest outside.
Lu XueQi walked behind her, looked at Shuiyue Master's back, quietly said, "Teacher."
Shuiyue Master slowly turned around, looked at Lu XueQi, Lu XueQi seemed unwilling to look at her teacher, lowered her head. Both teacher and disciple, neither spoke, the atmosphere in the room for a moment became awkward. Actually speaking of which, both Shuiyue Master and Lu XueQi were not talkative people, this kind of scene had indeed happened before when they were alone but for some reason, today at this time, there seemed to be a strange strange feeling between teacher and disciple, making them much further apart than before.
After a while, Shuiyue Master broke the silence, calmly asked, "This time you went to the southwest, was it smooth?"
Lu XueQi nodded her head, said, "Fortunately, along the way, the demon beasts were rampant but we tried our best to avoid them, and finally found a crazy Evil Sect disciple, then we found the Venomous Serpent Valley, saw …"
Her voice suddenly stopped, and a clear trace of pain flashed across her face. Even her body seemed to tremble slightly. ShuiYue Master looked at Lu XueQi, her eyes glimmered, seemed to be pondering something, after a moment, she looked at Lu XueQi, said, "Have you seen him?"
Lu XueQi was surprised, looked at ShuiYue Master, although ShuiYue Master's eyes were calm but seemed to see through her heart. Lu XueQi's expression changed, whispered: "Master, what, what did you say?"
ShuiYue Master coldly said, "I am talking about Zhang XiaoFan, who is also the current Ghost King Sect's Ghost Li!"
Shui Yue's voice was not loud but to Lu XueQi, it was like thunder beside her ears, she abruptly raised her head, her face pale but the bright eyes of Shui Yue master standing in front of her, were still staring at her eyes. Lu XueQi's lips slightly opened and closed, tightly pressed together, not saying a word.
Silence, once again descended.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Shui Yue Master's face slowly relaxed, her eyes that looked at Lu XueQi, also gradually had a sense of pity and heartache.
"Qi 'er, how long are you going to lie to me?" Shui Yue Master looked at Lu XueQi, slowly said.
Lu XueQi's hands clenched into fists, the joints on her fair skin turned white because of the force, obviously at this moment, her heart was also very agitated. She looked at this teacher who had raised her since young, her eyes gradually became misty but eventually she held it in, clenched her teeth, she slowly knelt down, in front of Shui Yue Master.
"It is disciple's fault, failed to live up to teacher's teachings." Her voice became softer and softer, her delicate figure also seemed to be gently trembling.
Shui Yue Master heaved a long sigh, her eyes full of vicissitudes, as if from this disciple, she recalled the past, even her own expression also had some sadness. She slowly turned around, walked to the window, looked at the verdant bamboos, still swaying with the wind, just that she did not know if the people of that year, still remembered this place?
"Get up." Shui Yue Master said lightly.
There was no movement behind her, obviously Lu XueQi was still kneeling on the ground.
Shui Yue Master did not say much, said: "Qi 'er, you have always been smart, some things I thought even if I don't say it, you should know."
Lu XueQi kneeled behind her, motionless. Shui Yue Master continued: "The entanglement between you and that Shaw Danon, to you, this is an ill-fated relationship, do you know?"
Lu XueQi answered quietly, her voice was almost inaudible, said: "Yes."
Shui Yue Master slowly said: "Moreover Shaw Danon has already betrayed the Good, devoured blood and turned into devil, what he did for these ten years, I don't need to tell you more. To tell you the truth, the matter between you and him, has already spread all over the city, even your Head Master Doyal Shibo already know about it, but these elders first because you are young and ignorant, second because they pity your talent and intelligence, cultivation is not easy, so they give you chances again and again, you better not be stubborn! "Towards the end, Shui Yue Master's voice gradually turned urgent, her voice also gradually became stern.
Lu XueQi's face became paler, but for some reason, her body calmed down, no longer trembling like before.
Shui Yue Master's face slowly softened, turned around, helped Lu XueQi up, softly said: "Qi 'er, you are my most beloved disciple, among the same faction, even among the entire Jadeon seven branches, among the younger generation disciples, your talent in cultivation is also the highest, your future is really limitless. I have very high expectation of you, do you know? "
Lu XueQi quietly said: "Yes, Master."
Shui Yue Master looked at her, said: "With your talent, in the future Small Bamboo Height branch head position, will naturally be yours, at that time you will be respected by all, meditate on Heaven's Way, like this, isn't it what you have been dreaming of?"
Lu XueQi was silent, only slightly lowered her head, on her beautiful face, other than her pale face, her bright eyes were slowly changing light, there, the once hazy mist had already disappeared.
Shui Yue Master sighed, said: "You go back and think about it."
Lu XueQi stood in front of her, after hearing, she did not immediately turn and leave, but slowly raised her head, looked at this teacher who had raised her up.
"What is it, Qi 'er?" Shui Yue Master asked.
"Master." Lu XueQi slowly called, said: "I have let you down."
Shui Yue Master shook her head, sighed, said: "What silly words are you saying."
Lu XueQi's expression seemed a little strange, her usually cold face showed a rare trace of excitement, even her breathing slowly quickened. Shui Yue Master quickly noticed, frowned and looked at her, said: "What is it, Qi 'er?"
Lu XueQi's heart seemed to be stirred up, so her face was also changing, but finally, she still slowly faced Shui Yue Master, quietly said: "Master, you are right, I am really muddle-headed, between me and Zhang Xiaofan, I also know, it is an ill-fated relationship."
A trace of regret flashed across Shui Yue Master's eyes, softly said: "Qi 'er, repent before it is too late, as long as you cut off your feelings, there is nothing great, at least, there is still master, and Small Bamboo Height, and Jadeon can accommodate you."
Lu XueQi suddenly raised her head, the speed and strength, surprised everyone, on her beautiful face, right now was filled with pain, even her voice seemed to be trembling: "Master, but I cannot."
Shui Yue Master's face changed greatly, stared deeply at Lu XueQi, suddenly her hand rose and fell, [Pa] heavily slapped Lu XueQi's face. Lu XueQi did not dodge, did not step back, stood there motionless, only bit her lips, her body slowly trembled.
"You, what did you say?" Shui Yue Master's voice also seemed to be trembling, but her words were filled with anger, "You, you this traitorous disciple, do you know what you are saying?"
Lu XueQi's face was already pale without a trace of blood but she met ShuiYue Master's gaze, as if she had already made up her mind, resolutely said, "Teacher, you adopted me when I was young, raised me up, taught me and brought me up, there is no greater kindness than this. XueQi is unfilial, made teacher angry and sad, deserve ten thousand deaths...... "
Her white dress fluttered, once again kneeled in front of Shui Yue Master, said: "XueQi would rather die than dare to betray teacher's Good, in the future if I meet that Zhang Xiaofan, disciple will try my best, use Aeolian Firmus to take his life, if not, then I will die in his hands......"
Shui Yue Master's face was filled with anger, after hearing Lu XueQi said she dare not betray Good, and will fight with Zhang Xiaofan, then her face softened a little, but what Lu XueQi said next, made her face changed greatly again.
Lu XueQi kneeled in front of her, took a deep breath, her eyes turned back, looked at the ground in front of her, seemed to be looking at her own heart, slowly said: "But this strand of sinful emotion, disciple cannot cut it, cannot cut it!"
The room instantly fell into a dead silence, as if even the sound of breathing had stopped, after a moment, ShuiYue Master's sharp and stern voice scolded, was heard, reverberated in this abode,
"You, you traitorous disciple, get out, get out, I don't want to see you anymore! ...... "
