Warm my heart

However, after the apprenticeship ceremony, Bai Zhi returned to Qingqiu, his heart still filled with resentment towards Zi Xi.

He tried to deal with Zi Xi through some covert means, but suffered a backlash.

This backlash not only caused him extreme pain, but also caused him to vomit blood and fall into a coma.

As soon as Si Yin went up the mountain, he couldn't wait to take his senior brothers from Kunlun Xu down to the mortal world to play.

However, her proposal was rejected by all fifteen senior brothers, which made her feel quite disappointed.

Si Yin has a stubborn personality, and seeing that they were unwilling to accept her invitation, she couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

Especially after the mermaid incident, Si Yin's dislike for Zi Xi deepened.

That incident made her strongly repel Zixi, and she has not said a single word to Zixi to this day.

This indifference made her feel even more isolated during her time in Kunlun Xu.

Mo Yuan also specifically reminded all the senior brothers to keep their distance from Si Yin.

The relationship between Mo Yuan and Si Yin as master and disciple is shallow, and he hopes they won't get too close to her.

Under such circumstances, Si Yin was gradually isolated during her time in Kunlun Xu. Apart from Zi Lan, who went into the mountains with her, she had almost no other friends.

Although Zi Lan got along well with her at first, he gradually became estranged from Si Yin after being privately persuaded by several of his senior brothers.

This made Si Yin's situation in Kunlun Xu even more isolated and helpless.

On this day, Si Yin received a letter from Bai Zhi, instructing her to find a golden lotus in Kunlun Xu and to sign a master-servant contract with the golden lotus with her heart blood.

Si Yin never disobeyed his father's orders, so he began to search for the golden lotus in Kunlun Xu.

However, her every move did not escape the eyes of Mo Yuan and Zi Xi.

Mo Yuan felt a little uneasy. Although he didn't know why Bai Zhi asked Si Yin to look for Jin Lian, Zi Xi's actions made him even more confused.

Ever since Zi Xi ascended to immortality, Mo Yuan could no longer hear her inner voice, which made him feel even more elusive about his disciple's inner world.

In fact, long before this, Mo Yuan had already collected the golden lotus that held his brother's life, replaced it with an ordinary golden lotus, and sealed Bai Qian's shadow inside it.

This idea was proposed by Zi Xi. She believed that doing so could not only save Mo Yuan's brother, but also give Bai Qian a special fate.

Zi Xi had already made up her mind, and she was looking forward to the future development. Thinking that Bai Qian might eventually marry her shadow, her heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.

Time flies by like a white horse.

On this day, the mountain wind in Kunlun Xu was particularly gentle, and the air seemed to be filled with a hint of joy, because today was Zixi's birthday.

In the early morning, the main hall of Kunlunxu was decorated warmly and elegantly.

The fifteen senior brothers got busy early and prepared a unique celebration for the junior sister.

Each of them carefully selected gifts, including precious magic weapons used in their cultivation, rare fruits picked from the mountains, and a few small gadgets that Zixi liked.

Zi Xi was wearing an elegant dress, looking even more radiant than usual.

There was a warm smile on her face and a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Mo Yuan was no exception. He prepared a special gift for Zi Xi - a heart-protecting mirror as smooth as jade.

This magic weapon can not only protect her heart meridian, but also defend her from the evil spirits from the outside world at critical moments.

Mo Yuan personally handed the heart-protecting mirror to Zi Xi, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "This heart-protecting mirror can protect you. May you live a life without worries."

Zi Xi took the heart-protecting mirror with emotion and gratitude in her eyes. She knew that her master's concern for her had never diminished.

She bowed gracefully and said softly, "Thank you, Master. I will definitely cherish it."

At this time, Zheyan and Feng Jun also rushed to Kunlun Xu, bringing with them the most beautiful peach blossom wine in the peach forest and several jars of treasured wine.

When Zhe Yan saw Zi Xi, he happily stepped forward to congratulate him: "Little Zi Xi, you have grown another year older. You must continue to work hard in your cultivation and don't let your master down."

Zi Xi smiled and nodded, then looked at Feng Jun: "Brother Feng Jun, thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday." Feng Jun also smiled and wished her a happy birthday.

In this way, Kunlun Xu was filled with laughter and joy on this day. Zi Xi felt the deep love from his master and senior brothers, and spent an unforgettable birthday in this joy.

However, in this atmosphere of Kunlun Xu filled with laughter and warmth, there was a person who quietly left and silently disappeared into the shadows.

That was Si Yin - she left Kunlun Xu early and went to the mortal world alone.

Si Yin stood outside the door of Kunlun Xu, looking at the senior brothers who were busy for Zi Xi, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She didn't want to linger in this lively occasion because she knew clearly how lonely and out of place she was in this world.

She tightened the fan in her hand, sneered, and turned away, as if to get rid of all this warmth that did not belong to her.

Bai Qian secretly swore in her heart that one day she would regain the dignity and glory that belonged to her.

The song ends and the crowd disperses, the noise fades away.

Kunlunxu, which had been bustling all day, finally quieted down. The dim lights illuminated the empty hall, and only a few lingering laughter remained in the air.

After the last round of toasts, more than a dozen senior brothers had already quietly left and returned to their own rooms.

Zheyan and Fengjun also left hand in hand and returned to the Ten-Mile Peach Forest.

No matter how lively a banquet is, it will eventually come to an end.

At this moment, only two people remained in the hall. A slightly tipsy Mo Yuan still sat at one side, his expression slightly tired but still as gentle as ever.

On the other side, Zixi's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were blurred, and she was deeply shrouded in drunkenness.

She gently shook the wine glass in her hand, and the wine in the glass swayed slightly with her movement, reflecting her slightly drunk eyes.

"Master..." Zi Xi's voice was soft and vague. She tilted her head slightly, as if she wanted to see Mo Yuan's face clearly, but her vision was blurred because of drunkenness.

Mo Yuan looked at her quietly, with an imperceptible tenderness flashing in his eyes.

He didn't say anything, just smiled lightly, put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up and walked to her.

"Zi Xi, it's getting late, go to bed early." Mo Yuan's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of concern.

He put his hands on her shoulders and tried to help her up.

However, Zixi gently brushed his hand away and shook her head.

"Master, I'm very happy today..." She murmured softly, with a hint of drunken coquettishness and attachment in her tone.

She raised her head and looked at Mo Yuan, her eyes revealing a hidden emotion, which was the weakness and attachment that she usually did not dare to show.

Mo Yuan was slightly stunned, and looking at Zi Xi's eyes full of drunkenness, his heart couldn't help but beat fast.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still between them. He was silent for a moment, and finally sighed softly and supported her gently.
