Chapter 69
He's clearly a very nice person, so why say he's eccentric and withdrawn? He�
The sky above Yunqi Peak is very low, and a crescent-shaped white moon hangs on the deep blue backdrop.
The girl under the moonlight seemed to be favored by the moon alone, with the moonlight turning into a veil, gently and softly enveloping her.
Shen Shu'an was completely unaware of what was happening, and just chuckled at Xuan Yi.
"Shall we go for a walk?"
Xuan Yi: "...?"
Although he didn't understand, he still stepped out of the courtyard gate, leaving the gate behind him half-closed.
Xuan Yi looked at Shen Shu'an, nodded, and gladly accepted her sudden invitation.
"it is good."
The two followed the cobblestone path, stepping through the bamboo shadows, and arrived at the lakeside in front of Shen Shu'an's courtyard.
Perhaps others have taken walks like this before, with a few stone benches and tables standing quietly.
Shen Shu'an sat down first, supporting her face with one hand and lowering her eyes slightly, her eyelashes concealing a hint of longing and sorrow in them.
Xuan Yi watched Shen Shu'an's movements and noticed a quietness and fatigue that was different from usual.
"What's wrong?"
Asked without reason, Shen Shu'an looked up at the person sitting opposite her.
"It's nothing," she shook her head, "I'm just a little homesick." As she spoke, Shen Shu'an frowned slightly.
Xuan Yi saw this and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it wasn't a sad expression, which was so out of character for her; it was just an expression of worry.
After a moment's thought, Xuan Yi tapped his index finger lightly on the stone table and said,
"Then tomorrow, after you learn the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and are no longer dizzy from teleportation, I will have Uncle Wu take you back to Qingcheng."
Shen Shuan raised her eyes, then chuckled, "Alright, but my sister is in the sect."
Yes, you don't know. That home isn't this home.
They're not quite the same.
However, seeing Shen Shu'an's smiling face, Xuan Yi frowned even more.
But if she doesn't tell him, he won't know either, and there's not much he can do.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the storage ring on his hand.
Actually, he was thinking of her when she came to him.
Considering her unexpected joy today.
"Shen Shu'an, is there any cultivation technique you'd like to learn?"
Xuan Yi raised his eyes, glanced at the storage ring on his hand, but ultimately did not take it off. He simply asked solemnly.
Shen Shuan was taken aback, then silently sat up straight, shook her head, and replied just as seriously, "That's enough for now."
"Oh, really?"
Xuan Yi's eyelashes trembled, he withdrew his hand and clenched his fist, then turned to look at the lake not far away.
Why are you so happy today?
The crescent moon was reflected on the lake, not unlike the sword light she had unleashed that morning.
"I need to go into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, which may take two or three days."
Shen Shuan said "Oh," looked at the lake, and then quickly looked up at the crescent moon in the sky.
"You should have broken through a long time ago. Keep up the good work, or you'll fail to break through when the time comes."
On the way to the Holy Bright Sect, I vaguely sensed that this guy's aura was unstable and that he was about to break through at any moment.
I just don't know why I kept it to myself. Now that I think about it, it might be to avoid delaying my journey.
Thinking about it this way, he realized that he had been with her for the past few months.
"Hey, Xuan Yi, aren't you getting bored spending all this time with me lately?"
Shen Shu'an frowned again, turning her head to look at Xuan Yi with concern.
Upon closer reflection, it was all her business from the moment she set off for Qingcheng.
Although the Dragon Clan received an invitation to the Holy Bright Sect Grand Competition, there was no need for them to arrive so early.
She was just taking the opportunity to visit her master at the sect and learn some swordsmanship.
Xuan Yi, on the other hand, seemed to be just keeping her company, without doing anything for himself.
"Um?"
Xuan Yi was taken aback, somewhat surprised. He turned his head to meet Shen Shu'an's concerned eyes.
"No, how could that be?"
Boring?
He looked into those crystal-blue eyes, so serene in the dead of night, and fell silent.
Thinking back to those days in the Heavenly Demon Mountains, the time I spent with her...
On the contrary, these are the things he finds most interesting over the past ten years or so.
"No, Shen Shu'an, it's very interesting."
He knew himself well; he was taciturn and deep in thought, quite different from her.
He's the truly boring one.
Under the moonlight, those dark, golden eyes gazed quietly at the person beside her.
Her long, raven-feather-like eyelashes drooped slightly, and there seemed to be a rare tenderness in her eyes. The moonlight shone on her straight nose and thin eyes, making her face as handsome as jade.
A wisp of his long hair was lifted by the wind, his black robe fluttered slightly, and his voice was clear and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.
Shen Shuan had just breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a positive answer when she suddenly met a pair of eyes that left her speechless.
Although she knew he was good-looking, that was all she knew; she had never seen him so closely before.
Shen Shuan silently looked away slightly. "That's good. I was worried you'd find it boring."
"If there's anything you want to do, I can go with you."
Anyway, they are the only two left on Dragon Island. What else can they do but help each other?
Moreover, the more I get to know him, the more I realize he's different from the description in the book, and now it's not just about emotional points anymore...
In short, she also hopes to preserve this difference.
He's clearly a very nice person, so why say he's eccentric and withdrawn? He's a really good person!
However, as soon as Shen Shu'an finished speaking, Xuan Yi laughed first: "Heh."
His cold, stern brows relaxed instantly, and his dark pupils brightened slightly. His eyelashes curved, casting two lingering, light shadows at the corners of his eyes.
"Alright, it's a deal then, Shen Shu'an."
He pronounced her name softly and earnestly, always like that.
"If I break through my cultivation in the next two days, will you have Uncle Wu by your side?"
"Hey, no need. You should go through the challenge, or let Uncle Wu protect you."
After all, the Holy Bright Sect is not as good as Dragon Island, and with the Grand Competition approaching, the comings and goings of cultivators are chaotic and complicated.
Moreover, Shen Shu'an rolled her eyes and silently looked at the void around Xuan Yi.
Do you think Uncle Wu knows what you're saying?
Uncle Wu will be heartbroken!
Xuan Yi watched as Shen Shu'an's big eyes darted around for three seconds before he finally smiled and said, "Uncle Wu just went to sleep."
"oh."
Shen Shu'an immediately relaxed, thinking, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Since Uncle Wu isn't here, and neither am I, be careful these next two days."
"Okay, I understand."
Shen Shuan turned her face away, a little embarrassed.
She definitely wouldn't want to deal with this if someone else said it, but it's Xuan Yi, so she might as well say it.
Although it's long-winded.
She smiled inwardly, "Alright, alright, enough rambling, let's play chess."
Xuan Yi paused, "Long-winded? Him?"
However, "...Okay, you go first."
After a while, the clear moonlight shone down and gently fell beside the two of them.
"I won!"
Shen Shuan smiled broadly.
"? How did you win?"
"Look, don't I have five sons?"
Xuan Yi: "...Okay."
A while later.
"Hey, by the way, could you please not practice until 3 AM next time?"
You're working so hard, I can't sleep either.
Shen Shu'an frowned, looking slightly worried.
Xuan Yi: "?"
"Shen Shu'an, shouldn't I be the one saying that?"
He worked very hard to avoid being overtaken too quickly.
Seeing that he was about to lose the game, Shen Shu'an quickly stood up, his hand groping haphazardly on the chessboard, then exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, where's my Yuanyuan?"
Xuan Yi: "..."
At the foot of the mountain.
Invited by Aunt Linghe to her home, Yuanyuan, who was sound asleep after a hearty meal, muttered: "zzZZZ~"
Suddenly, it started talking in its sleep: "Chirp chirp."
The person, the sparrow, wants to eat dragon fruit tomorrow~
The girl under the moonlight seemed to be favored by the moon alone, with the moonlight turning into a veil, gently and softly enveloping her.
Shen Shu'an was completely unaware of what was happening, and just chuckled at Xuan Yi.
