The next morning after their secret meeting, Yan Xu woke up from meditation and walked towards the well where he used to wash his face.
A splash of water with a high concentration of purity flushed Yan Xu's handsome face.
While walking on the main courtyard of the eastern pavilion, Yan Xu felt various gazes heading towards him. However, he still pretended not to know and he really did not want to care about it.
However, gradually the entire gaze had prompted a sense of unease that lay within Yan Xu's heart.
He glanced at every corner which was very quiet and there was no one there, but as an eldest disciple directly the head of the peak, Yan Xu could see some disciples still staring at him from a distance using the divine consciousness method they were teaching.
Sighing in a small breath, Yan Xu could only let that unease slip in his heart. He could not blame the behavior of others against him because he was aware that the most likely contents of the secret meeting had been leaked was enormous.
'No doubt, even with the best preparation, we still cannot escape from every eye of the members or the Master.'
This conjecture was not unfounded as he had also let the two little mice slip by. It had already proven that there was someone helping them which was nothing but a small step from Ye Miao'er.
'He always deliberately gives a gap so that everyone knows what we are doing. Junior Sister is not a careless person, she deliberately made a gap to attract Master's interest in paying attention to Aunt Yueyin's moving condition. Of course, the main goal is for Master to provide help, no matter how small it is.'
Careful preparation though deliberately allowing a gap was one of Ye Miao'er's habits in acting.
According to Yan Xu, every gap Ye Miao'er left behind was one of the safety measures to escape if an unfortunate situation occurred. That habit made Yan Xu would never blame his junior cool if any information was leaked. Information leakage is also an advantage in disaster when viewed from the side of savages like them.
'The gap in perfection is also the way to escape to a safe area.'
Sighing once more, this time Yan Xu felt a cold sensation creeping down his back.
From a distance a woman was riding a flying cloud towards him. The danger sensor that was inside him had been shaking violently.
'It can't be this fast ..' murmured Yan Xu inwardly with his face still flat from the outside.
His eyes narrowed and headed straight towards the woman wearing her all-white immortal robe.
He was none other than the Peak Head of the Wind, Lan Xihe.
Yan Xu saluted his landing teacher, "Murid salutes Master!"
"Just relax~" as usual, Lan Xihe casually welcomed the greetings from her mischievous disciple.
He walked to the side of Yan Xu, not far from there was a large tree. Lan Xihe gave the code through her gaze for them to sit in the shade of the huge tree.
Unable to resist, Yan Xu carefully walked side by side with his teacher.
His eyes were indeed looking forward, but Yan Xu had activated his divine vision to monitor Lan Xihe's movements.
Sure enough, just a step away from the goal, Lan Xihe had already moved her legs upwards, intending to give Yan Xu a surprise kick.
Yan Xu who had prepared immediately jumped up and made a sword of qi energy, then he thrust the sword right into his teacher's neck.
After her surprise attack was successfully avoided, Lan Xihe grabbed a flute from her dimension storage pouch. In the split second before Yan Xu's energy sword could reach his neck, Lan Xihe had launched a sound wave.
The wave charged towards Yan Xu like a wave, making him take a few steps back.
The two of them stood in their respective positions, observing each other and not making any futile movements.
For the second time, Lan Xihe spoke in a stern tone.
"What do you get by playing the role of a hero to an innocent girl?"
The deg!
Yan Xu's heart was pounding with just hearing one question from his teacher.
He did not know why, yet he felt a sensation of pain and tightness in his chest. Unknowingly, Yan Xu's left arm held his own chest which was in pain.
Seeing that, Lan Xihe again asked in the same tone, "What kind of advantage can you gain from it?"
The intense pressure from the aura of a Lan Xihe aimed directly at Yan Xu mercilessly.
Despite that, Yan Xu remained firmly standing and held onto his already claustrophobic chest.
He still did not understand why his teacher was doing this. However, he was sure deep within his usual rudeness, this time there was something different. It was as if the question was not directed at Yan Xu, or perhaps they had other intentions.
'The point is, the teacher asked me. What benefits can be gained through all these difficulties? Do I have to waste my life just for trivial matters .. no, this is not a trivial affair ....'
Slowly, Yan Xu began to understand why his chest felt pain and shortness of breath that had lasted until now.
It was not due to the suppression of Lan Xihe's aura, but rather from herself.
Inhaling a hint of fresh air from his mouth, Yan Xu began to speak.
"Nothing."
That was the honest answer he had said today. He does not ask for profit or recompense from everything he will go through. At least, for Yan Xu, giving a comfortable place to the people around him was one of his own happiness.
On the other hand, Lan Xihe who listened to that answer felt troubled about Yan Xu's stance that he could not understand.
'.... If there is none, why do you have to so much as to sacrifice your life?!' at least, that was how it was said through Lan Xihe's beautiful eyes.
There was no hatred emanating from Lan Xihe, just pure curiosity.
Yan Xu could also sense that because it was impossible for a person like Lan Xihe to care less about the actions of his disciple.
Yan Xu again continued his words calmly, "Murid will not feel guilty for doing something without Master's permission. Because Disciple was confident, Master would never reject something that could make Disciple become stronger."
"More powerful yes ...."
Lan Xihe puffed her cheeks. She looked so sweet if the domineering aura was not there. However, whatever it was, for Yan Xu he was still a Master who was attentive to his students.
Yan Xu smiled gently and said, "Murid cannot continue walking in the safe zone. This was an opportunity for the Disciple to develop even further. Please consider this, Master!" he cupped his hands together with a sure look.
"Basic liar. Just say that you want to take advantage of the results of the test," Lan Xihe said in an incredulous tone.
"Take an example like .. make a beautiful cold-faced fairy fall in love with you."
"...."
Scratching the back of his head, Yan Xu simply gave a look of astonishment to his teacher without answering.
Patting his temples, Lan Xihe looked like she was feeling dizzy with the sensitivity of her mischievous disciples.
He did not know whether Yan Xu really did not understand or was just pretending.
To find out that, he directly channeled the qi energy into his flute. A huge wave of qi energy could be seen enveloping the artifact.
"Perhaps just by exchanging blows we can convey the contents of the heart," Lan Xihe said in a small tone.
After saying that, he again launched an attack from his flute.
A slash with an intangible sound wave had been aimed at Yan Xu and was ready to cut it down to hundreds of pieces!
"Keugh!"
Yan Xu immediately activated a protective formation that he prepared throughout the eastern pavilion courtyard.
Several layers of protection appeared in front of Yan Xu and blocked the attack from Lan Xihe.
Only after touching the shield did the entire layer become shattered and continue to dart forward towards the direction Yan Xu stood.
But he was no longer there.
Yan Xu used a soul pursuit technique and had already arrived beside Lan Xihe.
"Samadhi fire!"
The fire of samadhi enveloped Yan Xu's energy sword. Di slashed straight towards Lan Xihe.
Lan Xihe took a slight step to the side and put up a resistance by deflecting the trajectory of Yan Xu's sword slash using her flute.
With the trajectory of his sword having been changed, Yan Xu immediately threw the sword and let it fly then split apart.
Hundreds of energy swords were now flying towards Lan Xihe!
"Good move, but— humph!"
Just by stomping his feet, Lan Xihe made waves of energy and counterattacked towards the hundreds of energy swords coming from all directions.
Hundreds of swords had been wiped out yet Yan Xu was still there with lightning-fast movements, he darted forward and gave a palm strike towards Lam Xihe's right shoulder.
"Include empty-handed techniques? You seem to underestimate me too much!"
Lan Xihe caught Yan Xu's wrist and locked it tightly using her body.
"Teacher ... This lock-in movement ...."
Yan Xu who could not resist the sensation of his hand being suddenly suppressed by Lan Xihe's natural beauty, could not help but stop and frown.
Lan Xihe only smiled widely and when Yan Xu learned the meaning of the action, it was already too late.
Yan Xu's gaze had now turned around.
"Yurrraaaa!"
With a loud shout, Lan Xihe slammed Yan Xu onto the ground causing the earthquake with a fierce shock.
Duars!
"Keugh!"
Yan Xu instantly vomited out a mouthful of blood due to Lan Xihe's deadly attack.
Not until there, Lan Xihe sat on top of Yan Xu's body that was sprawled on the ground.
"Gu .. ru ...." Yan Xu's weak voice calling Lan Xihe sounded pitiful.
"Still want to continue?" asked Lan Xihe flatly.
"Please ... Yes ... ngan .... Sit ... in ..... situ ..." yan Xu groaned with great supplication.
Still not understanding, Lan Xihe simply frowned.
However, not until two seconds from the request, Lan Xihe suddenly felt something moving beneath him.
"Yahoo!!!"
Duars!
His face was flushed red like a tomato and immediately shouted while hitting Yan Xu's face extremely hard!
"You-you! Barbaric disciple!" lan Xihe shouted with her face reddened.
The nearly dead Yan Xu could only cry inwardly.
'God, I'm a normal guy. What's wrong if my little friend moves because it's being occupied by a fairy as beautiful as Master? It's just, I've given you a warning, so it's not my fault, is it? Continue ... Why am I even to blame? Where is god's justice? Where is the equality between men and women?'
Yan Xu continuously questioned the justice of the god towards the bad luck that was befalling him this morning.
After a while later, Lan Xihe who had calmed down then gave a healing pill to Yan Xu's mouth then sat in the shade of a large tree.
Meanwhile, the fields of land that had been destroyed began to regenerate to look like they were.
Yan Xu who was in recovery, did not move in the slightest waiting for his teacher to speak.
