What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH) Chapter 68: Memories Recreated
The dusk had passed, and nightfall descended.
By the roadside, a bonfire burned brightly, with a young man and a young woman sitting on either side of it. They were none other than Xiao Yan and Yun Yun, who was using the alias Yun Zhi.
Faced with this Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) sister, Xiao Yan, as a small Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) , couldnt shake her off but also didnt dare to drive her away. He had no choice but to embark on a journey with Yun Zhi.
Xiao Yan took the roasted at off the bonfire and sprinkled so spices on it before handing it to Yun Zhi.
Yun Zhi, here you go. Be careful, its hot.
Although she insisted on following him, Xiao Yan was not an impolite person and wouldnt eat while being watched by Yun Zhi.
Of course, setting aside their personalities, Xiao Yan also wanted to avoid any possibility of provoking the displeasure of soone who could easily flick him away with a wave of her hand as a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level). Such a casual action would be unbearable for a small Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) like him.
Thank you.
Yun Zhi calmly thanked him and took the roasted at with her jade-like hand. She opened her small mouth and tore off a piece, slowly chewing it.
Compared to Yun Zhis elegant eating style, Xiao Yan seed a bit rough. He gnawed on the roasted at while observing Yun Zhi, his mind filled with thoughts.
Shes really beautiful If I hadnt been accustod to Yao Chens stunning beauty, Xiao Yan would definitely be captivated by Yun Zhis appearance.
But now, after experiencing Yao Chens charm, Xiao Yans heart couldnt stir up much of a ripple when faced with such unparalleled beauty in the eyes of ordinary people.
Perhaps in front of Yao Chen, the appearance of all won in the world would pale in comparison.
With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Yan began to ponder Yun Zhis identity.
Indeed, Yun Zhi should have co from a major sect. Eating roasted at so elegantly in the wilderness indicated that.
However, as far as Xiao Yan knew, there shouldnt be any Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) powerhouse in the Jia Ma Empire with the na Yun Zhi.
There was soone nad Yun Yun, who happened to be the current sect master of the Yun Lan Sect and the teacher of Nalan Yanran.
Although Xiao Yan had never t Yun Yun, according to his guess, a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) powerhouse like Yun Yun wouldnt have a reason to use an alias when facing a Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) like himself. Moreover, he was officially engaged to Nalan Yanran, so she had no reason to conceal her identity.
Therefore, Xiao Yan speculated that Yun Zhi should be a disciple of a hidden sect in the Jia Ma Empire, and she might not even be from the Jia Ma Empire.
If you ask why
Xiao Yan couldnt help but look at the several charred and rock-hard pieces of at beside the bonfire, his eyes filled with helplessness.
These were all Yun Zhis creations.
When Xiao Yan took out the pre-prepared skewers of at from the ring earlier, Yun Zhi curiously and eagerly volunteered to give it a try. As a result, she made these unappetizing things that couldnt be chewed, and Yun Zhi herself felt guilty about it.
Indeed, Yun Zhi couldnt be Yun Yun
Xiao Yan was convinced of this.
Yun Yun was the sect master of the Yun Lan Sect, and she must have gone on nurous journeys and adventures. How could she not know how to roast at?
It was clear that Yun Zhi was a disciple who had been practicing in a hidden sect all along and was only recently allowed to go out for training.
With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Yan couldnt help but feel a hint of pity in his gaze towards Yun Zhi.
Having the strength of a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) but being completely unaware of the outside world, her previous life must have been filled with nothing but cultivation. It must have been quite dull and miserable.
Hmm?
Yun Zhi, who was eating the roasted at, noticed Xiao Yans gaze and raised her eyebrows in confusion.
Clearly, Yun Zhi didnt understand that gaze; it was called sympathy.
Then Yun Zhi looked at the failed pieces of roasted at, which were actually charcoal, and a trace of embarrassnt flickered in her eyes.
With her status and strength, she was usually taken care of when she went out, never worrying about food and drink. At the very least, she could find a restaurant in a small town to eat. But now, traveling alone with Xiao Yan, she had undoubtedly exposed how lacking her self-sufficiency skills were. She couldnt even roast at properly, and she was even inferior to a sixteen-year-old boy.
Its truly shaful
Yun Zhi thought to herself and couldnt help but vent her frustration at the roasted at. Her eating manner beca less elegant, and she tore off a large piece and chewed on it forcefully.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan beca even more certain of his speculation.
That kind of hidden major sect, for the sake of cultivating the mind and spirit, would mostly eat delicate and refined food. How could they make their disciples eat this roadside roasted at?
With this in mind, Xiao Yans sympathy for Yun Zhi deepened, and he also beca more convinced of the righteous path.
Indeed the survival of the fittest should not exist in this world.
Those persecuted by this concept were not only the weak but also so of the strong who were forced to beco powerful due to the survival of the fittest. They spent almost their entire lives on improving their strength, leaving no ti to truly experience the beauty of life, not even knowing what they truly wanted to do.
In their empty world, there was only cultivation, cultivation, and more cultivation.
How hollow, how uninteresting.
Does this kind of life really have aning?
Feeling his mood gradually sinking, Xiao Yan shook his head vigorously. Seeing that Yun Zhi had almost finished eating the roasted at in her hand, he picked up a freshly roasted piece from the bonfire and handed it to her with a gentle smile.
Yun Zhi, take your ti. I still have plenty here.
Yun Zhi, who was venting her grievances towards the roasted at, heard Xiao Yans words. She first looked at the roasted at in his hand, then her gaze moved to Xiao Yans gentle smile. Under the illumination of the firelight, she suddenly felt a warmth that she hadnt experienced in a long ti.
It was a gaze that showed genuine concern for a person without any ulterior motives.
Yun Zhis thoughts couldnt help but go back to the past.
The young and naive boy before her seed to overlap with the youthful and unaged face of her teacher, Yun Shan, from her childhood mories.
Back when she was still a young Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) , her teacher, Yun Shan, took her out to experience the world. When he handed her the roasted at, he had the sa gentle smile and passed it to her.
That should be the happiest mont of her life so far.
It was so happy that the young her couldnt help but believe that she was born into this world just for that mont.
There were no distractions, no desires, and the taste of the roasted at couldnt compare to the luxurious feasts in those grand restaurants.
But Yun Zhi genuinely felt that that mont was warm from the bottom of her heart. Every ti she thought of it, she would feel nostalgic.
However, Yun Zhi hadnt experienced that warmth she longed for in over a decade.
No one had ever given her that warmth again, including Yun Shan, who had once bestowed it upon her.
It wasnt just because Yun Shan went into seclusion, but also because the Yun Shan before his seclusion made Yun Zhi feel cold and distant.
Yun Zhi couldnt put it into words, but she had a faint intuition.
Her teacher had changed, and she couldnt pinpoint when it had started.
The beautiful mories of the past had beco nothing but mories.
She had thought that they could never be recreated.
Yet now, it was being offered by this young man before her
Yun Zhi slowly snapped out of her thoughts and gently reached out to take the roasted at from Xiao Yans hand. She said softly, Thank you as she smiled once again, her gratitude evident in her eyes.
Hearing Yun Zhis words of thanks, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling a hint of confusion.
He couldnt shake off the feeling that Yun Zhi wasnt thanking him for handing her the roasted at, but for sothing else.
Well it must be just his imagination.
Xiao Yan dismissed the aningless thoughts and responded with a smile, Youre welco~
