Chapter 296: Did Sikong Lanyue, the Daoist Master, have someone she liked?
With the clouds dispersing, the two locked eyes.
Seeing the aggrieved look on Sikong Lanyue’s face, Su Shi couldn’t help but recall what happened before.
“Daoist Master?”
Sikong Lanyue bit her lip and murmured, “Clearly, it was you who broke your promise and confidently bullied me. I really hate it.”
Su y shook his head and said, “When did I bully the Daoist Master?”
Sikong Lanyue glared at him and said, “You knew that I was just angry when I said those words…”
Su Shi rolled his eyes and said, “So, the Daoist can’t stand me leaving?”
“I never said such a thing.”
A deep moonlight cast a silver glow on Sikong Lanyue, making her look like a fairy from the mortal realm.
Aishi swallowed nervously.
“Daoist Master looks so beautiful.”
“No! Your’re not allowed to talk nonsense!”
The blush on Sikong Shengyue’s cheeks deepened, and a hint of indescribable shyness flickered in her eyes.
The air fell into a silent stillness, and an inexplicable atmosphere began to linger between the two.
Sikong Lanyue suppressed her racing heartbeat and whispered, “You can’t joke like that in public anymore. What if others hear and think badly of us?”
Aishi nodded slightly and said, “Then I will secretly tell you, privately.”
“I didn’t mean it like that!”
Looking at his mischievous expression, Sikong Lanyue angrily stomped her foot.
This person is teasing her again.
Su Shi saw that she was about to break down and stopped teasing her. He said seriously, “There were indeed some delays recently, but I will come regularly from now on.”
“I know,” Sikong Lanyue whispered.
The faint forgiveness in her heart disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, she sensed something and looked at Su Shi with confusion.
“Your realm… seems to have broken through?”
If she hadn’t looked at him carefully just now, she wouldn’t have realized that his aura was completely different from before.
The spiritual power is abundant, the soul power is pure, and the soul is very solid, which is obviously a sign of a breakthrough.
Su Shi nodded and said, “I broke through today.”
“Did it actually happen?”
Sikong Lanyue’s eyes were wide open, and she couldn’t believe it.
The last time they met, he was already in the Last Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Until now, it has only been a month!
Moreover, his spiritual power is condensed and his soul is abundant. Obviously, he has been steadily progressing and not forcefully breaking through with any secret technique.
This is really quite surprising.
Su Shi explained: “Actually, this is thanks to the Ancestor of the fox clan…”
Upon hearing his words, Sikong Lanyue raised an eyebrow slightly.
“When did you become familiar with Ancestor of fox clan?”
Su Shi cleared his throat, “That doesn’t seem to be the point, right?”
Sikong Lanyue glanced at him. This person is indeed a playboy. Even among the playboys she knew, there are not many who can match his reputation.
It is unknown how many women he has seduced.
Su Shi rubbed his brow embarrassedly and changed the subject: “The relationship between the Ancestor of the Fox Clan and Daoist Zhaixin seems to be very good.”
“Yes?”
Sikong Lanyue was stunned for a moment.
Su Shi wondered, “You don’t know?”
Sikong Lanyue shook her head, “Master often goes to the Barbarian Realm, but I don’t know what she goes there to do.”
So, Master went to Green Hill Plains to see an old friend?
Su Shi held his chin and said, “It seems like you also don’t know about your Master’s romantic history.”
“Huh?” Sikong Lanyue frowned, “What are you talking about?”
Su Shi hesitated for a moment.
Daoist Zhaixin has a very high position in Sikong Lanyue’s heart. If she were to know that her respected Master had done such a “betrayal”, it would probably make her doubt her own life.
However, after much consideration, Su Shi decided to tell her.
He didn’t want her to follow the same path of irresponsible behavior. “Daoist Zhaixin used to have someone she liked…” Su Shi began to recount the contents he received from Yu Hongyin.
Sikong Shengyue’s mouth opened slightly. She seemed like a statue, standing still, unable to regain her senses for a long time.
Her mind was in chaos.
Through the letter, she knew that her Master had someone she liked, but she never expected it to be Hanjiang, the ancient emperor.
One was a cultivator who focused on cultivating the Dao, while the other pursued the Dao through martial arts. They were completely different individuals. Yet, they had such a complicated love-hate relationship?
“No wonder,” she muttered. “No wonder my Master disregarded my objections and insisted on unraveling the secrets of the world, even at the cost of her own life. So it was because of Li Hanjiang?” Sikong Lanyue had thought that her Master was seeking the truth of the Dao.
She never imagined it was all for the sake of one man. “She said her life was not without regrets. It turns out she was really referring to love,” Sikong Lanyue was greatly shocked.
She knew what Su Shi said was true.
Because there are many details, only those closest to her Master can know.
Su Shi sighed, “There is a tragic story behind the ancestral teachings and love. Daoist Zhaixin tried to adhere to the ancestral teachings, but it only brought her endless regret and a lack of peace in her life.”
Sikong Lanyue snapped back to reality and looked up at him. “What are you trying to tell me?”
Su Shi’s gaze remained steady. “I want to say that if one day you encounter someone you truly love, you should follow your heart and avoid making decisions you may regret, similar to what happened to Daoist Zhaixin.”
Sikong Lanyue stared at him, her ears turning red. She asked, “But what if the price to pay is too great?”
Su Shi shrugged casually. “Is there any price that is worse than growing old alone?”
Sikong Lanyue calmly responded, “The path of immortality is long and the Dao is difficult to attain. Life is inherently lonely, so what’s wrong with growing old alone?”
Su Shi pouted. “For someone who didn’t want to let me go just now, those are some nice words.”
Sikong Lanyue couldn’t hold back and pinched him. “You brat!”
“Aww!”
Su Shi’s face turned green.
Truly, she was a terrifying woman. Even her spoiling was more powerful than anything else.
He endured the pain and said, “Anyway, I think you’re much cuter now than before when you were cold and distant.”
Sikong Lanyue’s ears turned completely red. “Don’t use that word to describe me!”
Cute?
She really wanted to find a hole in the ground!
She remained silent for a moment and then said softly, “Rest assured, I won’t follow in my Master footsteps. After hearing my Master story, I have become more determined. I don’t know what the future holds, but for now, the only thing I can do is not let myself have any regrets.”
Su Shi held his chin and said, “It seems that you already have someone you like, Daoist.”
Sikong Lanyue gritted her teeth. “No! And even if I do, I won’t admit it.”
