The useless second daughter of the Hua family

The clear night is dust-free, and the moonlight is like silver.

Xuanju leaned against the laurel tree, looking up at the cool moon palace. In the past, Lingxi liked to lean against this place to enjoy the coolness on hot summer nights. He could enjoy the beauty of the starry sky and the fireworks of the world.

Suddenly, he heard light footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw the person he was worried about.

Lingxi's long hair was casually draped behind her, fluttering in the wind along with her dress. Her bare feet stepped on the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound. Seeing Xuanju looking back, she raised a bright smile, raised the wine pot in her hand and shook it, "How about a drink?"

Xuan Ju was a little dazed, this scene seemed familiar. He stared at Lingxi for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.

Lingxi walked up to him, waved her hand in front of his eyes, and teased, "What's wrong? Are you confused in your sleep? Why don't you recognize me?"

Xuanju came to his senses and was about to stand up to greet everyone, but Lingxi held his shoulder.

Lingxi sat down beside him and started to drink. "You are still the same as before."

Xuan Ju trembled when he heard this. Unbelievable surprise flashed in his eyes, "Master, you remember me?"

Lingxi didn't answer, but just handed over another wine glass. "You are obviously a dominant figure outside, why are you like a quail when you are in front of me?"

"Master, I dare not be presumptuous." Xuanju replied respectfully.

Lingxi couldn't help but think of the puppet substitutes, thinking, is this called not daring to be presumptuous? However, she didn't want to mention this matter, so as not to embarrass both of them.

"In fact, with your talent and character, if you hadn't followed me, you would have become a hegemon sooner or later. Do you regret coming here with me and being bound by the rules of the Heavenly Court?"

"I never thought of that!" Xuan Ju's voice suddenly rose, and he was a little excited. He lowered his head to hide his emotions, but it was still difficult to hide the excitement in his tone: "If I hadn't met Master, I'm afraid I would have become a cold-hearted monster. It was Master who gave me the opportunity to change my fate."

Lingxi looked at him, her eyes full of complicated emotions. She sighed softly, as if she wanted to say something, but finally chose to remain silent.

Lingxi didn't say anything, but Xuanju understood what she hadn't said. Lingxi gave him a chance, but he didn't cherish it. He committed murder and was no longer worthy of being an immortal. The previous heavenly punishment was suddenly stopped because of Lingxi's heavenly calamity, but it would come sooner or later. He was not afraid and would not escape. He just hoped not to bring any more harm to Lingxi.

Xuanju raised his head and looked at Lingxi, his eyes gleaming with determination, "Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will always remember them in my heart."

Lingxi heard the farewell in his words. She patted Xuanju on the shoulder and said softly, "This is my first time being a master. I don't know how to teach a disciple. Please bear with me. I am also responsible for letting you go astray."

“Master…” Xuanju called out softly, his eyes slowly becoming moist.

Lingxi stroked his hair and said softly, "There's nothing wrong with liking someone, but that shouldn't be a reason for you to hurt others. Xuanju, not everyone has a second chance. You have to cherish it and don't make the same mistake again. Do you understand?"

Xuanju didn't quite understand what she meant, but he nodded silently in agreement.

They raised their glasses and drank them all. Under the moonlight, the figures of the master and the disciple looked particularly harmonious.
