The Tao is far away

Wang Chi looked at Qingluan's pale face, and felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by a hand. He couldn't help but feel pain: "Master, are you okay?"

Qing Luan shook her head and said, "Is His Highness Xiao gone?"

"Ah."

"I didn't expect you and her to be so close."

"But that's good too. This way no one in Tianji Sect will dare to bully you. I feel relieved."

Qing Luan smiled, but it was full of loneliness and sadness: "Silly boy, you have to walk your own path in the future, and practice well!"

Wang Chi's heart sank. Listening to Qingluan's words which sounded like a dying wish and looking at Qingluan's dull eyes, his heart seemed to be bleeding.

After being executed in public, Qingluan no longer had the motivation to live.

"Master, look at me." Wang Chi grabbed Qingluan's shoulders with both hands and spoke softly.

Qingluan looked at Wang Chi infatuatedly and pinched Wang Chi's face with her right hand.

"Silly boy..."

Wang Chi pursed his lips and hugged Qingluan in his arms.

Qingluan was horrified and kept struggling in Wang Chi's arms, hitting Wang Chi hard with her fists.

"Let me go, you little bastard!"

"I don't allow you to say such discouraging words. If you are gone, how should I explain to my two senior sisters?"

"Think about Xiaoqing and Xiaozhu. How sad would they be if you were gone?"

Wang Chi burst into tears as he kept persuading Qingluan.

Qingluan's struggle gradually weakened and she began to cry softly.

"Think about me. I've only been in Qingzhu Peak for over a year. I don't want to leave here, and I don't want to leave you either!"

Qingluan was deeply moved when she heard these corny words. Gradually, she stopped struggling and just snuggled in Wang Chi's arms, crying softly.

"You little bastard..."

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Two figures were snuggling together. The only sound was the waterfall outside the window.

The two people's hearts are quietly leaning against each other at this moment, and they just want it to be like this forever.

Deep underground in the Tianji Gate, a figure wrapped in a black robe was surrounded by purple ripples. Several guards on guard immediately pinched their necks and fainted.

The man in black robe came to a cage and went inside in a flash.

Inside the cage was a woman with hair as white as snow.

The black-robed man spoke hoarsely, "Bai Yun, the leader of Baixue Peak?"

Bai Yun glanced at the man in black robe and found out that he was just a junior at the peak of the foundation building stage, so he did nothing.

Just stay like this for the next ten years and die of old age in this cage.

"Peak Master, take a look at this." The man in black robe took out a small white bottle and took out a pill emitting rich spiritual energy from it.

Bai Yun glanced at the pill with tired eyes, her pupils dilated, and she said in disbelief: "This is... the Barrier Breaking Pill!"

Bai Yun knew the effect of the elixir. It could improve one's realm by a small margin without any side effects.

If I eat it, won't I be able to break through to the later stage? Won't my life span also be increased?

A fiery look appeared in Bai Yun's eyes.

The man in black robe laughed and crushed the pill into pieces.

"No - do you know how precious this pill is?" Bai Yun's eyes were full of disbelief, as if he was crushing his own flesh and blood.

"Precious? Is that so?" The man in black robe poured out all the pills in the bottle, including two.

"Snap" another pill was crushed.

Seeing that the man in black robe was about to crush the last one, Bai Yun immediately stopped him: "No matter what you want me to do, I will agree to it!"

"Very good!" A voice came from the hoarse voice of the man in black robe.

Bai Yun listened to the voice of the man in black robe, and her eyes gradually widened: "He is... His Highness Xiao's man. If I kill him, wouldn't that be against His Highness Xiao?"

"And if I escape from here, Tianji Sect will definitely hunt me down!"

The black-robed man sneered, "Your Highness Xiao? You just want to cause trouble for him. As for running away, who said you escaped?"

The man in black robe slapped his storage bag, and a corpse that looked exactly like the master of Baixue Peak appeared on the ground.

Bai Yun was a little surprised.

The man in black robe took out a black mask and threw it to Bai Yun: "Put this on and no one in the world will know who you are."

"After the matter is accomplished, this Barrier Breaking Pill will naturally be yours!"

Bai Yun put away the mask and bowed to the man in black robe.

Bai Yun wanted to stand up, but the man in black robe held her shoulders. The man in black robe was very strong and Bai Yun fell to his knees with a thump.

"Sir, what does this mean?"

The man in black robe held Bai Yun's head and said, "I'm very angry now!"

……

I don’t know how much time passed, but the sky gradually turned white.

Bai Yun dragged his tired body and looked back at Tianji Gate. His clothes were disheveled and his face was full of tears.

"I have guarded my Yuan Yin for my entire life, but now..."

"I call Qingluan a dirty bitch every day, but I didn't expect that I'm the same as her..." Bai Yun smiled crazily.

Bai Yun recalled the black-robed man's big movements last night that accidentally revealed his face, and laughed to herself, "I didn't expect it was him."

In the clouds in the sky, a man in black robes stood with his hands behind his back, and there were also two other men in black robes behind him.

One of the people behind said, "Your Highness, why do you have to go to so much trouble to find this Jindan junior? If you want to kill someone, we can kill him quietly!"

The black-robed man's voice was no longer hoarse, but rather clear: "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? An ordinary pill with a little spiritual energy can be used to find a Jindan thug. It's a good deal!"

"I'm telling you, I just killed him on a whim. Even if my sister had contact with him, he is just a Qi-refining ant after all, and he can't accomplish anything great!"

"Royal sister, oh, Royal sister, why are you trying so hard to support that three-spiritual-root loser? What a bunch of losers gathered together!"

The two men in black robes behind him frowned secretly, thinking that your killing was fake, but your real intention was to steal the Yuan Yin for the Dan!

The first sun has illuminated Qingzhu Peak.

Qingluan thought a lot and decided that the two of them couldn’t continue like this.

After leaving Wang Chi's arms, Qing Luan returned to her usual expression: "Bastard, what happened in Zhudun and last night was just a mistake. Just treat it as a momentary impulse of the two of us!"

"I am already in the Jindan stage, and you are only in the Qi Refining stage. There is no possibility for us to be together."

"From now on, you and I are still master and disciple, nothing else."

"Okay, I'm going to go watch the ceremony, you think about it."

With a "zhiya" sound, Qingluan pushed open the door and walked out.

Hearing this, Wang Chi did not look sad at all. On the contrary, he was full of motivation.

"When I reach the elixir stage, I will marry you!"

Qingluan outside the house paused for a moment, then turned into a beam of light and flew away.

Qingluan came to the viewing seat in the valley and heard from a peak master that Peak Master Baixue had committed suicide in the sky prison.

Qingluan's face showed little expression, she just nodded. Her life or death was none of her business.

At this moment, Qingluan thought of what she had said to Wang Chi.

Those words were half true and half false.

"Is it too hurtful to him to say this?" Qingluan asked herself.

"But, silly boy, come on!" Qingluan smiled sweetly, and the gloom on her face yesterday was swept away, replaced by expectations for the future.

"I'm waiting for you to marry me!"
