On the other hand, Bai Yunxian was at a loss for words as he contemplated his life choices.
Originally, he intended to just pass by this place and not get involved, because other people had nothing to do with him, he didn’t need to save every stranger passing by, nor did he have any obligation to do so.
However, this familiar appearance and feeling made him unable to walk away coldly, he just couldn’t ignore it when he looked up and saw the familiar shout.
For a mont, Bai Yunxian almost lost his mind, thinking of every possibility that Yun Shu was here. Yet at the sa ti, after he cald down from his raging anger, the person in front of him wasn’t actually the sa.
It was a woman who just looked like Lord Yun, not himself.
’Am I just too tired? Or am I losing my mind after being away from him for too long?’
"Hey, hey, the father of my child is not responding? Could it be that he went in a daze and I have to kiss him to wake him up from his dream?" Yun Shu teased while leaning close to Bai Yunxian’s face, just enough to make him flustered after he ca back from his daze.
Just as she predicted, Bai Yunxian quickly backed away from her as he distanced himself. Then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey, hey, fellow cultivator! Where are you going without taking ?" Yun Shu almost lost Bai Yunxian again as she clung to his robe shalessly, staring at him with her big, puppy eyes.
Then she turned around and instructed Feng Shao quickly, "You guys can continue keeping up without , right? The guy that ca with , I sent him to do so errands. After he cos back, tell him I said to accompany you guys. I’ll see you again on the last day after we get out of the forest. That’s it, farewell! Oh yeah, I left so things you guys might need on the pouch I gave Little Fatty, rember to check it out!" Yun Shu gave them instructions in a hurry before she followed Bai Yunxian with peace of mind.
Since she spent so ti with them and they regard her as their Senior, she can’t just leave them behind without any responsibility!
The things like scrolls, talismans, artifacts, and potions she left behind would be far more than enough to assist them in danger, so she didn’t need to worry about them anymore and could travel with Bai Yunxian with peace of mind.
"Hold on, wait for !!!" Seeing how Bai Yunxian avoided her like a plague and wanted to quickly get rid of her made Yun Shu a bit annoyed.
She was happy that he maintained distance from unknown strangers and maintained propriety between man and woman.
However, she still can’t help but feel a little jealous.
"Fellow cultivator, you are not married yet, right? Why are you avoiding so vehently?" Annoyed, Yun Shu puffed her cheeks as she asked him, while he was still running and she was catching up to him without any problem.
"I’m sorry, fellow cultivator. But you’ve guessed it right. I’m indeed married, and my wife is a very jealous person. I don’t wish to get her mad at , so please, keep your distance." Bai Yunxian’s voice was cold through and through, without any slightest bit of emotion or expression.
’I’m that wife that you are talking about so much, why won’t you look at ?!’
’And who the hell is jealous, jealous your ass!’
’Gosh! To think I’ll get jealous of myself... I must’ve gone mad...’
Yun Shu went through her life choices inside her mind as she debated by herself. On the other hand, seeing her beco so quiet all of a sudden, Bai Yunxian thought she finally understood the gist of the matter.
"My lord, this woman seems suspicious. Should we get rid of her, lest this person discover our secrets and do sothing stupid?" One of the shadow guards erged by his side as they asked for quiet removal.
"...No need. Just let her be. She is not a threat to us." Bai Yunxian thought sothing for a while before he dismissed the shadow, taking a side glance at the girl in red.
He admits she is strong, and has a righteous aura around her. But it still wouldn’t compare to Lord Yun, she wouldn’t go anywhere near him.
This ti, Bai Yunxian wanted to live with principle. And he didn’t want to kill people indiscriminately. Because innocent people don’t deserve miserable death.
"Was that your man just now, Lord Nine is indeed strong as the rumors say!" Yun Shu clapped her hands as she gave him a look of admiration, which bothered Bai Yunxian for so reason.
’I just want to go back already, I miss Lord Yun.’
"I would prefer it if you call Palace Lord, fellow cultivator. We are not that close as far as I know." Bai Yunxian was expressionless as he continued travelling. His light footwork has beco more and more skilled now, which made Yun Shu proud.
’Looks like my teachings didn’t go in vain, he learns really fast.’ Yun Shu thought to herself as she followed him, asking him various questions to keep herself entertained by teasing him.
"So then, Palace Lord. Where are we going? It seems like our destination is going in the middle of the forest?" Yun Shu asked with burning curiosity in her eyes that one can’t neglect so heartlessly.
It didn’t seem like Bai Yunxian was reluctant to let her follow him, then why not enjoy the drama that was about to unfold from the sidelines?
"Indeed, that’s true. We got information about a divine treasure that’s about to appear in this place. The silver moon lake reside in the middle of the forest, and the treasure is also expected to appear there. Whoever gets to it first will be the owner of this treasure." Bai Yunxian himself didn’t know what made this woman so different from the rest that he was willing to explain so much to her.
Maybe, because she resembles Lord Yun? Is that why he can’t bring himself to neglect her?
Even though he didn’t see her face hidden beneath a veil, he could tell from her eyes that she resembled him very much.
If that is so, then he was just doing his responsibility as an elder to take care of her and give her safety. That’s all there it is, no need to think too much into it.
With this thought, Bai Yunxian buried all the thoughts and doubts he had in the back of his mind and focused on speeding up his pace.
While keeping up with his speed with ease, Yun Shu grinned as she assured him, "Don’t worry, Palace Lord. I’m just here to join in on the fun, don’t mind and do your work. I won’t make anything difficult for you!"
Actually, in reality, Yun Shu already knew the plot about the appearance of the divine treasure.
The plot armor is in effect.
Looks like this plotline hasn’t deviated much from before just as Yun Shu knew. At that ti, if the plot progressed without Yun Shu’s intervention, then Bai Yunxian wouldn’t have such a trendous hidden power under him.
Rather, he was supposed to follow Shen Xia into the forest like a mindless puppet. However, when everyone around them was fighting for the ownership of the treasure, the treasure ultimately chose Bai Yunxian as it’s master, which made him turn into a target for many big sects.
The powerless Bai Yunxian couldn’t fight back even after getting such a good treasure, and even got targeted by the Ancient Bai clan, getting kidnapped and dragged away by them in the process to try and retrive the treasure for themselves, and turned him into a slave.
Just the re thought of Bai Yunxian getting touched by others made Yun Shu’s blood boil, and being tortured and humiliated by so worthless insects?
It’s not worth of ntioning at all!
Oh, right.
Even if he was now strong enough, the divine treasure would ultimately choose him in this tiline again.
Which ans, he would be targeted by the Ancient Bai clan once again.
’Oh, how great!’ Yun Shu cracked her knuckles as she seed cold and expressionless. ’I still have so unfinished business with them, isn’t it?’
’First, I need to separate from Xian Xian for a bit to do so howork, I can co back later to find him. Anyway, he would be by the lake side to wait anyway, right?’
