Walking out of the abode, Wenmin saw Lu XueQi standing at the side and walked over, said, "Junior sister, are you going back now?"
Lu XueQi shook her head slightly, said, "Since I am out, I want to walk around, always sitting in the house, I feel bored."
Wenmin nodded, said, "That's true, then you be careful, I will go back first."
Lu XueQi nodded slightly, said, "Yes, senior sister take care."
Wenmin smiled, turned and left. Watching her figure gradually disappearing in the bamboo forest, Lu XueQi stood there in silence for a moment, not knowing where to go and so strolled.
The bamboo forest was deep, everywhere was verdant, the mountain breeze blew past, the bamboo branches swayed with the wind, making rustling sounds. On the slightly moist ground, new shoots broke out, from time to time the sharp heads of the bamboo shoots could be seen poking out from the ground, full of vitality.
Far away, where the bamboo branches were dense, clear bird cries were heard, even in the surrounding air, a unique bamboo fragrance wafted. Lu XueQi inhaled deeply, this place did not carry the mundane atmosphere, it had always been the favourite of cultivators like them, and also the reason why every cultivator kept away from the mundane world.
Just that, although the body was far away from the mundane world but that mundane heart and affection, seemed to have never left.
Walking lightly like that, strolling, unknowingly, Lu XueQi suddenly realized, she had walked to the back of the mountain again, she smiled bitterly, although she did not expect to come here today but maybe because she came here often, this pair of feet actually walked on its own.
But since she was already here, Lu XueQi did not turn back, continued to walk slowly up the mountain, the stone steps ascended, not far away, it was Small Bamboo Valley's secluded Wangyue platform.
Right now it was daytime, in addition Master ShuiYue's mood was not good recently, no one came to this secluded place, the surroundings were even quieter, luckily Lu XueQi was used to this tranquility, walked up on her own, every grass and tree, every rock and rock, to her, could not be more familiar.
Unexpectedly when she stepped onto the platform, she was stunned for a moment, in front of the platform, stood a figure, standing alone, her robes fluttering in the mountain breeze, that figure looked very familiar, it was her and WenMin teacher ShuiYue Master who they had not been able to find.
Lu XueQi was stunned, walked up, bowed to Master ShuiYue, said, "Teacher."
ShuiYue Master's body shook, seemed to realize that someone was coming from behind, turned around, looked at Lu XueQi, nodded and said, "It is XueQi."
Lu XueQi looked at ShuiYue Master, saw her teacher's face slightly pale, still sad but right now even more, desolation.
She was worried and said, "Master, the wind is strong here, you have to take care of yourself."
ShuiYue Master smiled, said, "Usually you stand here all day and I don't see anything happening to you, although my old bones are not as strong as you young people but I am not weak to the point of being unable to withstand the wind."
Lu XueQi was shocked, quickly said, "Teacher, disciple does not mean that, I am …"
ShuiYue Master looked slightly tired, waved her hand, a trace of bitter smile revealed at the corner of her mouth, said, "I know, you don't have to explain."
Lu XueQi was silent, stood beside ShuiYue Master but for a moment did not know what to say. And ShuiYue Master also did not seem to have the intention to speak, both of them were silent.
After an unknown period of time, ShuiYue Master gazed afar, suddenly said, "Do you think this Full Moon platform scenery is beautiful?"
Lu XueQi was surprised, did not know why ShuiYue Master suddenly asked but she still honestly answered her teacher, "As the saying goes, scenery is often at the perilous peak, here the dangerous cliffs are abrupt, solitary cliffs suspended in the air, looking from above, sea of clouds like waves, green mountains accompanying, it is indeed a beautiful place."
ShuiYue Master nodded slightly, her eyes slightly blurred, unhurriedly said, "Actually many years ago, when your SuRu teacher uncle was still cultivating in Small Bamboo Valley, she was also like you, loved the scenery here the most and often sneaked here alone to play."
Lu XueQi was surprised, looked up at ShuiYue Master, ShuiYue Master sighed softly, said, "Su junior sister and I grew up together, I was only one year earlier than her when I joined her teacher ZhenYu Master, when we were young, we ate at the same table, slept in the same bed, we were really like sisters. Her temperament was usually more lively than me but she loved to sneak here alone, whenever she suffered grievances, she would also come to this Full Moon platform, sulking alone. "
ShuiYue Master spoke until here, her lips moved, seemed to recall some of the past events, some smile, but before the smile appeared, it was replaced by a deeper vacant look.
"But … ever since she got married, she never came here again."
Lu XueQi quietly listened to ShuiYue Master's words, quietly said, "Teacher, when SuRu teacher uncle married Big Bamboo Valley teacher uncle Tian, you were not happy in your heart?"
ShuiYue Master was stunned for a moment and then shook her head slightly, sighed, said, "Although Tian BuYi's temper is not good, his temperament is rather surly but he is definitely a good match, your SuRu teacher uncle marrying him, it is her good fortune, and also she has good taste."
Lu XueQi heard until here, was really surprised, in the past everyone knew that ShuiYue Master did not like Tian BuYi, but unexpectedly she thought so in her heart, could not help but asked, "Then you still treated Tian teacher uncle that way in the past …" Halfway through, she suddenly stopped.
ShuiYue Master smiled, said, "Still scowling at him, making sarcastic remarks is it?"
Lu XueQi blushed, said, "Disciple does not dare to think so."
ShuiYue Master indifferently said, "I usually treat him like that, it is not something taboo, what is there to worry about. But although Tian BuYi and I do not get along but honestly speaking, he is still not bad, in our Qing Yun sect, not many can compare to him. "
Speaking until here, ShuiYue Master seemed to suddenly think of something, frowned slightly, said, "Tian BuYi's first disciple, is called Xavion?"
Lu XueQi nodded, did not know why ShuiYue Master would suddenly ask about Xavion, said, "Yes, now Song senior brother has already taken over the position of Big Bamboo Valley head. Teacher, why did you suddenly think of Song senior brother? "
ShuiYue Master was silent for a long while, said, "That WenMin senior sister of yours, is she flirting with this Xavion?"
Lu XueQi was then shocked, for a moment did not know what to say, WenMin and Xavion only saw each other's affection, most people knew, the sisters in Small Bamboo Valley usually used this matter to joke with WenMin, just that Tian BuYi once went up the mountain to propose for Xavion's sake but was flatly rejected by ShuiYue Master, making WenMin secretly dejected and depressed for many days. Now suddenly being asked by ShuiYue Master, Lu XueQi's thoughts turned, but did not know whether to say it directly, or to hide a little more for WenMin senior sister.
Just that what kind of experience was ShuiYue Master, seeing Lu XueQi's few hesitations, she could see most of it, shook her head, sighed deeply.
Lu XueQi could not help but feel anxious, her relationship with WenMin was extremely good, although her own love life was not smooth but she hoped that this senior sister who had been taking care of her since young could have a good husband, after hesitating for a while, still plucked up her courage and said, "Teacher, actually WenMin senior sister she …"
She had only spoken a few words when ShuiYue Master indifferently said, "Forget it, forget it, find a day and let WenMin marry over."
Lu XueQi for a moment was stunned, almost could not believe her own ears, the expression on her face also showed, ShuiYue Master glanced at her, smiled and said, "Why, is it that all of you disciples have always thought that I am an old stubborn, inflexible and unwilling to help the disciples' good deeds?"
Lu XueQi was extremely happy for WenMin, quickly smiled and said, "Teacher, what are you saying, how would disciples dare to think so. I will first thank you on behalf of WenMin senior sister! "
ShuiYue Master looked at Lu XueQi's rare sincere smile, the corner of her mouth moved but she sighed again, turned around, clasped her hands behind her back and stood, looking towards the distant sea of clouds, silently.
Lu XueQi, in her joy, saw ShuiYue Master's unusual expression, cautiously asked, "Teacher, why did you suddenly think of this matter?"
ShuiYue Master was silent for a moment, did not answer and instead asked, "XueQi, you also followed me to Big Bamboo Valley, what do you think of your Su teacher uncle's death?"
Lu XueQi's expression turned solemn, after a moment of silence, solemnly said, "Disciple thought, Su teacher uncle and Tian teacher uncle were deeply in love, followed them and did not show any signs of pain."
"Yes." ShuiYue Master sighed softly, in a daze, after a long while said, "I originally did not want you all to be disturbed by love and delay your cultivation but this lifetime of cultivation, in the end what is the result?"
Lu XueQi did not know what ShuiYue Master meant, for a moment did not dare to reply, ShuiYue Master slowly said, "Longevity, it is still illusory, a lifetime of bitter cultivation, but in exchange for hundreds of years of wasted time, your Su teacher uncle regarded a hundred years of cultivation and life as nothing, this determination and foresight, is really much stronger than me."
Lu XueQi for some reason, suddenly felt a sourness, called out, "Teacher …"
"A lifetime of cultivation, a lifetime of cultivation. You've cultivated the Dao, but you've lost your humanity. Why bother?" ShuiYue Master heaved a long sigh, indifferently said, "Actually what is Dao, what is called attaining Dao, I have cultivated for a lifetime, until today, I am really confused."
Lu XueQi stood aside, did not dare to speak, ShuiYue Master stood silently, after a long while, suddenly shook her head, seemed unwilling to continue thinking, turned and walked down the mountain, Lu XueQi watched her back, called out, "Teacher, where are you going?"
