Ji Xian, Xia Lihua, and Xiao Yueyin descended the Core Yin Pavilion. On their way down, they t Guo Xinyi, who have returned after showing Physician Yue Li and the others to their residence.
Senior Ji Xian, Senior Xia Lihua, Yueyin huh? Wheres the Sect Master? Guo Xinyi greeted them before realizing Shao Qinglian was nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Yueyin smiled, Xinyi, youve returned.
Yes. Guo Xinyi nodded, I had to wait until Physician Yue Li and the others settle down before I can leave.
Well, it looks like youll have to send them ho soon.
What do you an?
Xiao Yueyin sweetly smiled and it left Guo Xinyi stunned.
Yueyin when was the last ti she smiled like that. I almost cant rember, it seems to have been a while. She has really changed, hasnt she? Shes no longer that cold and indifferent woman
Ji Xian was able to heal Senior Fang Yu! You wont need need to invite those physicians anymore in the future.
What! Guo Xinyi exclaid.
She looked at Ji Xian in bewildernt. If it wasnt for her trust in Xiao Yueyin, she wouldve seriously doubted what she had just heard. After all, she was only gone for a short mont! It has only been ten minutes from when she left to when she returned!
What exactly happened while I wasnt here?
Ji Xian nodded. He walked past Guo Xinyi and left a few words before leaving with Xia Lihua.
Theyre at the top floor, and rember to stop calling Senior or next ti, Ill do sothing unspeakable to you.
Guo Xinyi blankly stared at Ji Xians back as his figure slowly fade away from view.
Xiao Yueyin didnt imdiately follow them. She wanted to take this opportunity to tell Guo Xinyi about the thod that can allow her to breakthrough into the Ninth Life Destruction.
Ji Xian and Xia Lihua closely walked side by side as they toured the Ardent Yin Sect. They happily chatted as they visited a few significant areas.
They passed by a couple of attractive disciples who looked at them enviously.
Look at that couple, they look so intimate.
Ugh Im so envious!
Its not like the Sect forbids you from finding a companion, why dont you just find soone?
You dont think I want to? Its just that none of these n are worthy of soone like .
Absurd. Then what did you think about that man?
How should I know? I cant even see his face. I wonder if he has nasty scars or sothing.
A distance away, Xia Lihua giggled as she walked beside Ji Xian. Naturally, she was able to hear them.
She sounds almost as narcissistic as you do. Said Xia Lihua.
Impossible. Ji Xian jokingly snickered, You know, if you didnt nerf with this veil, who knows how many of these girls will want to climb on ?
Whats nerf? Xia Lihua asked before blushing when she realized what he said at the end.
Hmph! Vulgar moron as if you can handle that many won.
Moron? Ji Xian loudly laughed, Thats a new one.
He continued, As for whether or not I can handle that many won hmm as a man, I naturally dont want to admit that I cant, but youre right
I might be sucked dry by the end of it.
A few disciples walked by and overheard him. They looked at him weirdly. So of them were disgusted, while a few had red faces.
Shut up! Xia Lihua imdiately used her hand to cover his mouth.
Ji Xian smiled. He pulled her soft hand off his face before holding it in his palm.
Co on, lets see if we can find an auction.
Xia Lihua didnt shy away and happily allowed Ji Xian to hold her hand, Whats with you and auctions? Youre always looking for one.
Auctions are the windows to opportunities. Ji Xian shook his head, This is common knowledge, Lihua. You should read more.
Xia Lihua was speechless. Ji Xian talks as if there is a guide on how to succeed as a cultivator. If things were that simple, wouldnt everyone be able to ascend to the Upper World?
If youre so well read shouldnt you know sects dont typically hold auctions? She smugly countered.
Huh? They dont? Ji Xian stopped walking and asked.
Xia Lihua raised an eyebrow, Youve never been in a sect before?
I was in one when I was younger but got kicked out after getting caught trying to steal a few things.
Xia Lihua dumbfoundedly looked at Ji Xian.
Does this moron just go around and think about stealing all the ti? What kind of person is this?
She look at him for a mont before a thought appeared in her mind.
So Ji Xian has only been in one sect before he got expelled but he was still able to reach this far by himself
Xia Lihua was quietly in awe. Although loose cultivators arent exactly uncommon in the Mortal Haven World, its incredibly rare to run into one!
Due to the constant invasion of the Upper World, almost every sect will open its doors to anyone who can cultivate. So with such a simple requirent to enter, along with the resource of a sect to assist one in their cultivation, why would anyone want to beco a loose cultivator where you have to repeatedly put your life on the line to fight for ager benefits?
Not to ntion, the sects in Mortal Haven rarely restrict an individuals freedom!
With the positives overwhelmingly outweighing the negatives, there wasnt any reason not to join a sect!
Why didnt you just join another sect? She asked curiously.
Well Ji Xian was hesitant, Its not that I didnt want to join another sect but none of them wanted .
They all said I have no talent for cultivation.
What? Xia Lihua frowned.
This had to be the biggest joke she has ever heard. If Ji Xian wasnt able to cultivate, then how did he even get to where he is today?
Ji Xian nodded before chuckling, They werent exactly wrong, I really couldnt cultivate at the ti.
Xia Lihuas eyebrows pinched even tighter upon hearing this. She took a careful look at him and saw sothing in his eyes that she has rarely ever seen from Ji Xian.
It was sadness.
Her heart ached when she saw him like this. This wasnt the Ji Xian she knew. The Ji Xian that she was familiar with, is soone who always has a smile on his face, as though nothing in the world can get to him. She had never once thought that behind that dashing smile, was a pain that no one knew about.
What exactly have you been through? Xia Lihua gently held his face in her hand.
Ji Xian shook his head before recovering to his usual casual deanor. That is a story for another ti.
He smiled as he held her hand and pulled her along, I think I saw sothing interesting over here, lets go.
Xia Lihua silently stared at his back and bitterly sighed. It looks like Ji Xian is still hesitant with telling her about his past.
