Chapter 49: Ice Sword
"Why?"
Xuanji repeated Yan Ling's questions and finally focused his attention on the jar of wine behind Yan Ling.
The jar of wine left a deep impression on him. It would appear in his dreams almost every night. He always remembered Ling'er's words——
"Master is Ling'er's beloved man!"
On the other hand, why isn't he the same? In the past, he always put his identity first and ignored his feelings for Ling'er. In fact, he buried this feeling deep in his heart.
Now that Ling'er seemed to be no longer close to him, he was worried about gains and losses, so he dug out this feeling from the bottom of his heart again and weighed it again and again.
Several times, he had to break through the red line of the master-disciple relationship and express his inner feelings for Ling'er.
But he didn't in the end.
"because of you……"
Holding back the heartbreaking grief in his heart, Xuanji squeezed out eight words from between his teeth:
"Shameless and disrespectful of ethics!"
"If you fall in love with your master, I would be showing mercy if I don't kill you..."
As soon as these words came out, even Yu Shen on the side covered her mouth in surprise.
These eight words gradually spread in Yan Ling's room, and Xuanji seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Yan Ling had heard these eight words once.
It's just that today is different from the past. At that time, she was still the little girl who thought about her master. But it is different now. She has let go of her feelings for Xuanji.
But no matter in the past or now, Yan Ling is the Yan Ling who dares to face up to her own feelings.
At this time, Xuanji said these eight words, and she did not argue.
"Thank you Master for your great kindness!"
Yan Ling took half a step back and knelt down. Facing the mystery, she kowtowed three times.
When he kowtows, he kowtows the grace of not killing as Xuanji said.
The second kowtow is the grace of so many years of cultivation.
Kowtow three times, what he kowtows is the many emotions he has developed in the Spirit Sword Sect for more than ten years——
Although she had long wanted to stay away from mysteries and Wangyoumen, so many things had happened since that dream.
Even if I no longer have that kind of feeling for him, the relationship between master and disciple for so many years can still be indelible in a moment.
Yan Ling had gone through the scene of saying goodbye to Xuanji and leaving the Lingjian Sect many times in her mind, but when she actually experienced it, her eyes were still filled with tears.
There are many bonds that cannot be broken away in an instant.
After kowtowing three times, Yan Ling stood up neatly.
"It's okay to leave the Spirit Sword Sect, but I am a guilty person after all. I will not stay as a master until I find out the whole story..."
The name I have been calling for so many years has long been engraved in my mind, and I can't change it in a short while.
However, Yan Ling corrected it in time:
"I will not leave you, Master Xuanji, to face this matter alone."
The apprentice is a sinner who colluded with the demon clan, how can the master be any better?
Once she leaves like this, the first thing those people at the foot of the mountain will not let go of is probably the mystery.
Therefore, even if Xuanji no longer wants her, she still has to stay in the Spirit Sword Sect. She must perfectly resolve the matter of framing her and give everyone, including herself, an explanation.
"No need."
Xuanji seemed to have thought up his words a long time ago, and bluntly eliminated Yan Ling's intention of continuing to stay in the Spirit Sword Sect.
"The elder has come forward to clear your grievances. From now on, the Lingjian Sect and you, Qing Yanling, owe nothing to each other. Just leave!"
"But the elders..."
Yan Ling wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Xuanji:
"No need to say any more, just leave!"
Then an eviction order was issued.
But seeing dusk approaching, even if they started going down the mountain now, it would be night before they reached the bottom of the mountain!
"Master Xuanji, can you allow my young lady to start her journey again tomorrow?"
Although Yu Shen is a girl from the Wangyou sect who came to take care of Yan Ling, she has developed a deep master-servant relationship with Yan Ling over the years. Even if Yan Ling is a fake daughter, she will never leave him.
"no!"
Master Xuanji is so heartless that he doesn’t even think about the master-servant relationship that he has had for so many years!
In the eyes of Yan Ling and Yu Shen, he was cold and ruthless, but only he knew the helplessness and pain in his heart.
If Ling'er stays in Lingjian Mountain for a moment longer, he will feel a little more hesitant in his heart. At that time, Ling'er may not be able to leave because of his reluctance, and things will not be able to proceed according to his established arrangements.
"Yu Sheng, stop talking, let's leave now!"
Yan Ling was also disheartened, so she simply packed up her luggage, then hugged the altar of "Nerv Hong" and left with Yu Ni.
The fire clouds in the west were so red that they looked like they were staining Lingjian Mountain with blood.
Feng Shaoqing arrived a step too late, and his junior sister was still driven away by his master.
Looking at the lonely figure of his master, he couldn't help but remind him:
"Master, Junior Sister Yan Ling has gone far."
After a long time, Xuanji slowly nodded.
"Master, do you have to do this? You have to take the blame for Junior Sister Yan Ling. Although Junior Sister Yan Ling can escape unscathed by doing this, those people at the bottom of the mountain will definitely point their fingers at you!"
Xuanji's plan could not be hidden from Feng Shaoqing. He planned to use this incident of Guhuo Bird to pin the crime of colluding with the demons on his head. This matter has been discussed with the elders, that is, in
That time when Yan Ling was hiding in the attic.
Because only by doing this can his Ling'er be safe...
In the attic above the main hall of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Chu Liuli, the Saint of Peach Blossom Palace, absurdly appeared here, and Elder Xuancheng of the Spirit Sword Sect stood in front of her.
"Qing Yanling has come down the mountain."
Although I don't know why this saint wants to protect the girl Yan Ling, as long as it is beneficial, Xuancheng will turn a blind eye and not pursue so much.
"Where's what I want?"
"I can't do without you!"
Chu Liuli stretched out her hand to chant a spell, and a long sword filled with cold air appeared in her palm.
This sword is exactly the weapon used by Nangong Bing, the most outstanding genius of Liuli Sect back then, the Ice Sword.
After several temperings, this ice sword has become a top-level artifact. However, since Nangong Bing's accident, no one has seen any trace of ice sword. Everyone thought that it was taken away by Nangong Bing.
, but who would have thought that it would appear in Chu Liuli's hands.
The attribute of the Ice Sword is naturally ice, which matches Elder Xuancheng's ice spiritual roots.
"But take it easy, Han Bing recognizes its master, it only recognizes Nangong Bing, and I haven't tamed it for so many years!"
The higher the level of the artifact, the more spiritual it is. Han Bing has been with Nangong Bing for so long, and he has already developed a relationship with her.
"Don't worry, I want it to have another use!"
