Chapitre 194

"Why?"

“Because…” Dongchuang Weibai said blankly, “Because disciples of Tianmiao Peak are not allowed to have any personal feelings.”

"I've said it before, I don't like him, I have someone I like."

“Yes,” Dongchuang Weibai agreed, but then added, “But Nineteen, you know that deep down… he likes you, doesn’t he?”

Chu Gexing flicked his wrist, and the teacup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

"What exactly do you want? Speak," he said coldly, staring at the person before him. "Do you know what I thought when I first saw you?" The Tianmiao Sect Master sat on the couch, taking a sip of tea, and asked.

Chu Gexing sneered: "Pervert."

The Sect Master of Tianmiao swept his gaze across the room, his long eyebrows and purple eyes revealing a ferocious desire, yet a smile that even the spring breeze couldn't match played on his lips: "Good words, I like them. My fifteenth will always have answers that refresh my senses."

Chu Gexing laughed out of anger: "As expected, he has a twisted mind, different from ordinary people."

His unintentional smile was more stunning than a thousand blooming peach blossoms; in an instant, he radiated brilliance.

The Sect Master of Tianmiao stared intently at him, his purple eyes unmoving.

Chu Gexing noticed this, his brows furrowed instantly, his smile vanished, and he became secretly on guard.

The Sect Master of Tianmiao suddenly smiled: "Fifteen, what are you afraid of?"

“I’m afraid of being bitten by a rabid dog,” he said bluntly.

"A mad dog?" The Tianmiao Sect Master raised an eyebrow, seemingly finding the description amusing. "Has Fifteen ever seen a mad dog bite someone?"

Chu Gexing looked disgusted: "Say what you have to say. If you want to fight, I'm ready. Just don't say anything nonsense to me, or I'm afraid it will offend my ears."

The Sect Master of Tianmiao smiled: "It seems there's no more. My little Fifteen is still so pure, which truly makes me feel gratified and happy."

"Pah!" Chu Gexing looked like he was about to vomit. "Shameless!" The Heavenly Mist Sect Master's eyes gleamed, but as if he had heard something amusing, he smiled and said, "Well said, say it again. Whatever you say, I'll..."

"Shut up!" Chu Gexing roared before he could finish speaking, and with a wave of his hand, he swept the teapot off the table and sent it flying straight toward the couch.

The Sect Master of Tianmiao stretched out his hand, and the teapot flew rapidly in front of him, but it seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, neither moving forward nor falling down, as if an invisible hand was dragging it down from below.

Chu Gexing snorted coldly, showing no fear whatsoever. Although he had come to rescue people hastily, he was well-prepared. With a flick of his wrist, he stepped forward.

The Sect Master of Tianmiao Sect leaped up from the couch, and with a flick of his wrist, the teapot flew backward toward Chu Gexing.

It faintly carried the sounds of fierce wind and thunder.

Chu Gexing stopped in surprise, his palm flipping upwards to block the teapot. The Tianmiao Sect Master unleashed a palm strike. Before their palms even touched, their internal energies surged and collided. In an instant, a loud "crack" was heard, followed by a series of crackling sounds. The teapot, unable to withstand the convergence of the two internal energies, shattered into pieces, scattering across the ground.

Chapter 257: A Promise Made for Each Other

"Well done." The Sect Master of Tianmiao Sect stopped and nodded.

Chu Gexing took a step back, his inner strength surging in his chest. He knew that his opponent's skill was indeed unfathomable, as he appeared completely unharmed.

He was on high alert, but said casually, "You're nothing special."

The Sect Master of Tianmiao Sect wasn't angry. He smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? What would you think if I said I was afraid of hurting you?"

Chu Gexing was about to curse when he saw the expectant look on Chu Gexing's face. He stopped, rolled his eyes, and snorted, "Why don't you give it a try?"

The Sect Master of Tianmiao shook his head and said, "I didn't force you when I had the chance before, and I certainly won't now."

"Then let her go," Chu Gexing said.

"You care about her a lot," the Tianmiao Sect Master said calmly.

Chu Gexing felt a chill run down his spine, but then laughed: "Ha, haha."

"What are you laughing at?" asked the Sect Master of Tianmiao Sect.

“I do care about her,” Chu Gexing scoffed lightly, “because she’ll soon be my aunt. If I don’t care about her, who will I care about?”

The Heavenly Mist Sect Master frowned: "Oh?"

Chu Gexing turned around: "If you still want to reach an agreement, let me and her leave. I will give you an explanation a year later. If you want to take action now, I am not afraid of you. Come on then."

The Sect Master of Tianmiao looked at him: "Nineteen, she's almost your aunt?" "If you don't believe me, you can ask her." Chu Gexing said casually, "Aren't you always so shrewd? You can judge for yourself."

The Heavenly Mist Sect Master looked at him: "I will naturally investigate this matter thoroughly. However, all the elders already know that you stole the Book of Freedom. I've returned this time to have you interrogated in the Punishment Hall. What do you say..."

"The elders have always listened to you, what do you mean by saying this?" Chu Gexing said disdainfully.

"It's nothing," the Tianmiao Sect Master said, looking at him. "It's just that we can't let you leave like this right away. The torture chamber won't take any drastic measures. How about we make you suffer a little for now?"

"I can't stay here too long."

Five days.

Chu Gexing glanced at him: "So generous, I thought it was a year."

"So you agree?" A hint of joy appeared between Aoshi Tianzong's brows.

“One day,” Chu Gexing said.

Ao Shi Tian Zong's face darkened: "Three days. No less than that."

"Two days, or you can do it now," Chu Gexing said coldly and decisively.

"You..." Aoshi Tianzong stared at Chu Gexing. If it were anyone else, he would have killed them with a single palm strike long ago. How could he possibly negotiate with him here? But this person was someone he feared yet couldn't bring himself to do. He had endured this for so many years, and it would continue in the end. However, he would never be able to fly very far.

His hands, clasped behind his back, clenched into fists. "Alright, two days it is. Two days later. I'll take her away," Chu Gexing said again.

"Okay," he had no choice but to agree.

“In addition,” Chu Gexing paused.

"how?"

"If you use such insidious methods to harm her again, I will never forgive you," Chu Gexing said softly.

Her peach blossom eyes flashed, and two clusters of burning hatred leaped up as she looked at the Aoshitian Sect.

Hearing such blatant threats, Ao Shi Tian Zong felt neither fear nor anger, but rather a strange, indescribable feeling welled up within him. After Chu Ge Xing finished speaking, he turned and walked away. Ao Shi Tian Zong gazed at Chu Ge Xing's slender waist beneath his cloak, his long hair swaying. For some reason, a fire ignited within him, and he darted to Chu Ge Xing's side, reaching out to grab his arm.

Chu Gexing reacted quickly, stepping aside and striking back with a palm strike without saying a word, shouting angrily, "What are you doing?!"

Aoshi Tianzong didn't even touch his sleeve. He hurriedly reached out to block the wind and thunder palm, and then met Chu Gexing's furious eyes. The crimson at the corner of his eyes was captivating. He immediately regained his senses and retreated, saying, "I was just testing how good your reaction ability is, Fifteen."

Chu Gexing still stared at him in disbelief. Aoshi Tianzong added, "As for Shijiu, don't worry, Wei Bai is taking care of her."

"The east window is not yet bright?" Chu Gexing raised an eyebrow.

“That’s right, they’ve always been on very good terms. You know that.” Aoshi Tianzong said with a slight smile, his expression having returned to normal.

"Hmph." Chu Gexing stood there, stared at him expressionlessly for a while, and then finally strode away.

Ao Shi Tian Zong watched him until he disappeared, then retreated step by step until he reached the bedside. He sat down, his expression shifting between joy and sorrow, before finally whispering, "I will never forgive you... I will never forgive you... Ha, hahaha." He was mimicking Chu Ge Xing's tone just now.

Tang Leyan was uneasy.

Although Dongchuang Weibai repeatedly told her not to worry, she still often ran to the palace gate to look outside, knowing that she could not see Chu Gexing's shadow, but she still couldn't help but look.

It was probably at Dongchuang Weibai's special instruction that people came from time to time to bring tea and water, and the three meals were prepared very well. But she just had no appetite. She sighed and lamented, sometimes thinking of Chu Zhen, feeling bitter and depressed. Occasionally, she would think of something good and a smile would appear on her face. But when she realized where she was, she couldn't help but worry about Chu Gexing.

She kept Dongchuang Weibai's instructions firmly in mind and did not want the Tianmiao Peak disciples who came to bring her tea and meals to inquire about Chu Gexing's whereabouts. She just kept to herself, feeling depressed and unhappy. In just one day, she looked particularly haggard. Dongchuang Weibai came to see her under the cover of night and happened to see her leaning against the window, feeling the cold wind blowing. Her originally chubby cheeks now showed a hint of thinness.

"Leyan." Dongchuang Weibai put down the pastries in his hand, walked quickly to the window, and reached out to pull her hand. "Why are you standing here in the wind?"

I lowered the window, took her hand, and felt that her little hands were icy cold.

Tang Leyan looked up at him: "Wei Bai, it's been a day, hasn't it?"

Dongchuang Weibai gazed into her eyes, which were once bright but now seemed veiled by a faint mist. Dongchuang Weibai reached out and touched her face: "Are you worried?"

Tang Leyan nodded: "I don't want to be here. He came here for me, and I don't want him to suffer any harm because of me."

Dongchuang Weibai frowned and slowly covered her mouth with his hand.

Tang Leyan looked at him and understood a little. She lowered her eyelids and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly.

"Are you bored?" Dongchuang Weibai asked, noticing her dejected look.

"Um."

"I'll take you for a walk." He took her hand and led her outside.

"But..." Tang Leyan stopped in her tracks, "Is it okay?"

"Of course." Dongchuang Weibai turned to look at her. "Let's go," he suddenly stopped. "Oh, right, wear another layer of clothing."

He wore only a thin white robe, high-necked with a pearl button at the neck, and as usual, without a belt. The loose robe and wide sleeves revealed his slender figure only when he moved slowly. Combined with his aloof temperament, he seemed like a man who had stepped out of a classical film. Today, he had his hair loosely tied up, but a few long strands still fell beside his cheeks, making his face appear somewhat disheveled and dejected, yet also carrying a strange sense of nonchalance.

Tang Leyan looked at him and couldn't help but say, "You're the one wearing less."

Dongchuang Weibai was rummaging through boxes when he heard this, paused for a moment, then continued searching, a smile playing on his lips. He said, "Hehe, Nineteen's learned to care about people now. That's good." Okay... who's interested in whom? Let's all keep guessing!

Chapter 258: Two Hearts Relying on Each Other (No Leaving a Thousand Miles)

Where Tang Leyan was imprisoned, the wind and snow continued. Dongchuang Weibai took her hand and led her out of the palace. They crossed the vast, snow-covered ice plain and walked forward without anyone stopping them.

She looked ahead and vaguely recognized the road leading to Xiping Lake. Dongchuang seemed to be in high spirits, holding Tang Leyan's hand all the way and turning back to talk to her from time to time.

The wind and snow gradually subsided, and eventually stopped completely. We had probably walked out of the snowy area, and finally, we could see the clouds and the clear sky.

Tang Leyan had no interest at first, but she reluctantly agreed to go out with him for fear of refusing his kindness. Unexpectedly, she saw a clear sky again, and her depressed mood improved slightly.

At the center of Xiping Lake lies a calm, mirror-like expanse of water reflecting the white clouds and blue sky above. Beyond this single patch of clear sky, however, are layers upon layers of massive clouds, resembling large clumps of cotton. Tang Leyan knew that this was the only snow-free spot on Tianmiao Peak, and the area surrounded by these clouds was just like the main hall she had just left, where snow was falling. The same proud peak, yet the environment was so different, prompting one to marvel at the wonder of creation.

Dongchuang Weibai held her hand all the way to the lakeside. Dongchuang Weibai turned to look at her and said, "Seeing such beautiful scenery, does it make you feel better?"

Tang Leyan nodded: "That's right, thank you Weibai."

Dongchuang Weibai glanced at her and said, "It's rare to see Nineteen being so polite to me."

Tang Leyan was slightly stunned, then gave a wry smile.

Dongchuang Weibai looked at her, raised his hand and touched her head: "Little head, what are you thinking about?"

Tang Leyan shook her head: "Nothing, I just think...this place is really beautiful." She turned to look around, and there seemed to be two familiar figures by the lake. The petite one was gesturing excitedly, having finally caught a fish after a long day of work. She turned back, holding the fish up, and winked at the person behind her, showing off her achievement. The taller one behind her, however, lazily crossed his arms and watched, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked at her. Under the shadows of the clouds, the sunlight shone through. His face...that expression...

Tang Leyan felt dizzy.

Before dawn, Dongchuang stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace: "What's wrong, Nineteen? Are you feeling unwell again?"

Tang Leyan gave a soft reply and nestled her face against his chest: "Wei Bai, I'm thinking about... things from the past again."

A look of astonishment appeared on Dongchuang Weibai's face: "You're thinking of... Fifteen?"

"Hmm..." Tang Leyan reached out and rubbed her temples. "I don't know why, but ever since I came back, I keep thinking about him... I dream that he's not well or something. I'm so scared... I've never felt like this before, and I don't know why... Wei Bai..." As she spoke, her voice lowered, and it was already slightly choked with sobs.
