As the Universe Turns - Chapter 65
Chapter 65 Ruthless
“Hmm? What is it?”
Nichang blinked his big eyes at him. Yi Chen thought for a long time and finally mustered up his courage and said, “Junior Sister, do you … do you like me?”
“Ah?”
This time, Nichang was at a loss as to what to do. It took him a long time to regain his senses. He lowered his head and said, “I, I … I like Senior Brother. I like to practice swordsmanship with Senior Brother, and I like to go downhill with Senior Brother. But … it’s not that kind of thing.”
Yi Chen was also dumbfounded. At this moment, it was as if all the water in the Tian Shui River had been poured on him. Nichang raised his head and saw his eyes that seemed to be completely annihilated. He slowly lowered his head again, “Shi, shi ge … right, right …”
“Haha! No, no!”
Yi Chen suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, “I’m talking about this kind of liking, not that kind of liking. Haha, hahaha … We’re practicing swordsmanship, continue practicing swordsmanship, we’ve just practiced the first few moves …”
…
In the next few days, it was unknown if he was intentionally hiding from Nichang, or if Nichang was hiding from him. The two of them did not meet again.
These days, his mind was also in a daze. His heart was empty, as if he had lost something. He always felt uncomfortable. He went to Yuji Peak to drink with Yi Huanzhen, and before leaving, he even brought a lot of wine with him.
“So Junior Sister doesn’t like me …”
That night, the moon was as bright as day. Yi Chen was drunk again. He carried two jars of wine and staggered towards the Tianshui River. He listened to the sound of flowing water and looked at the moon shadow in the water. It was as if he had seen his junior sister compete with him in the past. The laughter and laughter had now turned into sharp sword qi and slashed down on his body.
It turns out that when you like someone and the other person doesn’t like you, it’s so uncomfortable …
Yi Chen looked at the moon shadow in the water and laughed foolishly. It turned out that there was the biggest illusion in the world, was that she liked you …
However, the Qiushui Sword Technique is still lacking in the final stance …
“Uh …”
Yi Chen drunkenly slapped open the wine jar’s sealing mud and drank it all in one gulp. Finally, with a “dong” sound, he threw the wine jar into the stream. He bent down, picked up a branch from the ground, and swayed to practice his swordsmanship.
At that time, Moon was in the sky. The wind was as cold as frost. The strands of sword qi had never been as sharp as they were now. The water in the Tianshui River also surged, stirring up a thousand layers of white waves! The water in the Tianshui Stream splashed so high. If the others in the Xuanqing Sect saw this scene, how shocking would it be!
“Remember the past, Xiaofeng Canyue …”
Yi Chen used the tree branch as his sword and slashed into the stream, causing the stream to instantly splatter a hundred feet high.
“Meng Ru yesterday, how can I endure long hatred?”
Another sword slashed out, and the water in the stream surged endlessly.
“Only, Qingqiu is cold …”
“Qiushui-Wuqing!”
With the last slash, the Tianshui Stream seemed to have been cut off from the middle. The water on both sides of the stream rose to a height of a thousand feet.
The sword energy dissipated after a long time, and the stream splashed down, pouring water all over his body, and it was ice-cold to the bone.
He only smiled infatuatedly, “So it was destined that Qiushui Wuqing would be the last move of the Qiushui Sword …” With that, the tree branch in his hand slipped down, and Genuine energy was exhausted too much, causing him to fall drunk.
The cold wind gradually dried up the stream on his body. After an unknown period of time, a woman floating in green slowly walked over from under Moon. She bent down and gently picked him up and went back.
Ling Yin had been with him for nearly ten years. Since he was young, how could he not understand his thoughts when he watched him grow up day by day? Shangguhan was cold and lonely in Purple Night Peak. He did not have any senior brothers or sisters. Only Ni Shang would always come to practice with him. For a long time, it was inevitable that he would have feelings for him.
The next morning, Yichen woke up and found himself lying in his room. He immediately knew that Master had brought him back. When he thought of how he had been drunk by the Tianshui River last night, he felt regret in his heart. Master hoped that he could cultivate well, but he had been drunk all these days. Master must have been disappointed in him …
No, I have to apologize to Master today.
On the way to Yaoguang Palace, the breeze was gentle. After experiencing the drunkenness last night, Yichen felt much better. Now that his cultivation was stuck at the peak of the Qi Refining Divine Realm, he couldn’t go up to the peak of the Qi Refining Divine Realm. Although he was only one step away, this step was as different as clouds and mud. Why was he still thinking about being a child all day long?
Eight-foot-tall man, able to stand upright in the heavens, able to bear it, able to let it go!
When they arrived at the Jade Light Hall, they saw Master cross-legged and close his eyes to practice. Yichen walked in lightly. Ling Yin heard footsteps and whispered, “Chen’er, you’re awake.”
“Master …”
Yichen slowly walked over. Ling Yin opened his eyes and said, “You have already entered the sect for eight summers.”
“Yes.” Yichen nodded and said, “So this disciple came here today to ask Master to allow this disciple to go down the mountain to train.”
“That’s good too.”
Ling Yin nodded slightly and asked him to go out to change his mood. It was also good to experience it and find a way to break through to the Void Refinement Realm. Refining Qi to the Void Refinement Realm was the first difficulty in cultivating. If he could not overcome the love and joy in the mortal world, and if he could not reach the Void Refinement Realm within a limited time, he would never be fated with the Immortal Realm.
In Xuanqing Sect, any disciple who reached the peak of the Qi Refining God Realm would be able to obtain his master’s consent. After that, he would go down the mountain to train and travel around the world in search of a breakthrough method. This level of breakthrough method was something that only he could rely on, and Master was unable to guide.
Ling Yin said, “I have to go to the Heavenly Lake Peak tomorrow, and then you can go down the mountain.”
“Yes, thank you, Master!”
The next morning, Yi Chen went to the Heavenly Lake Peak. For the first three years, the new disciples had to go to the Heavenly Lake Peak frequently, but not much later. Today was the day for them to go to the Heavenly Lake Peak.
It was still the same when they arrived at Heavenly Lake Peak. However, now that the other disciples saw him, they no longer dared to underestimate him. This was because his cultivation had already surpassed theirs in just a few short years. Even that Ren Jianzhi from back then was only at the middle stage of the Qi Refining God Realm.
“Junior Sister Nichang is here! Junior Sister Nichang, long time no see!”
Outside the crowd, Nichang’s feathered clothes floated and he slowly walked over. The moment his gaze met Yi Chen’s, it was just that at this moment, something seemed to have stabbed into Yi Chen’s heart.
As usual, the two of them sat under the tree and listened to the elders. When everyone left in the afternoon, they unknowingly walked back to the place they used to walk.
“You …”
The two of them raised their heads at the same time, opened their mouths at the same time, and lowered their heads at the same time. Nichang whispered, “Senior Brother, go ahead …”
Yi Chen took a deep breath and chuckled, “Why do I feel like you’ve been avoiding me these past few days?”
“I don’t have one.” Nichang frowned at him and pouted, “You obviously didn’t come looking for me, hmph!”
Seeing her current appearance, Yi Chen felt as if a needle had stabbed into his heart, as if it had given him another chance. No, no, he had clearly agreed to put it down, no …
“Junior Sister, come, I have already comprehended the last move of the Autumn Water Sword.”
“Ah? Oh …”
The two of them arrived at a cliff waterfall and saw several rainbows hanging in the air. They were extremely beautiful. Yi Chen said, “So this last stance is Qiushui Wuqing. Qiushui Wuqing was originally, I finally thought of it …”
Hearing what he said, Nichang seemed to be stunned. After a long time, he regained his senses and shook his head, “I don’t want to practice this stance …”
“But, this is the last move.”
Yi Chen leaned over and picked up a withered branch on the ground. “Junior Sister, watch carefully.” After saying that, he used the last move, “Qiushui Wuqing”.
The sword energy gradually dissipated after a long time. Yi Chen turned around and said, “Junior Sister, do you remember clearly?”
“Remember clearly” Nichang nodded hesitantly.
“Yes.”
Yi Chen smiled gently and walked over. “I told Master that I will go down the mountain tomorrow to train and find a way to break through. From now on, I will probably rarely see you …” he said.
“Senior Brother …”
At this moment, Nichang was speechless, and in the end, he could only watch as he turned around and slowly left. Not far away, Yi Chen turned around and said, “Junior Sister, take care.” With that, Ling Xian Step slowly disappeared into the clouds on the horizon.
“Senior Brother …”
Only the cold wind slowly blew past. Nichang’s eyes seemed to be gradually blown red by the wind. At this moment, a strange sound of wind came from behind. Nichang’s entire body immediately trembled. It was as if he had instantly fallen into an endless abyss of darkness. He quickly turned around. At this moment, he revealed an unprecedented fear on his face, “What … who is this person?”
