Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Chi Xing blinked her eerie green eyes and held Cen Yu's waist tightly with both hands, refusing to let go.

"Master? Didn't you say we didn't go through the formal apprenticeship ceremony? Who are you to me as my master?"

Cen Yu was amused by his self-righteous words, her expression unreadable: "If we're not master and disciple, then why are you hugging me?"

"Not a master, but a Daoist partner."

Akahoshi looked at him intently.

I was so caught up in my sadness that I forgot to observe Cen Yu's attitude.

It only now did I realize that Cen Yu hadn't resisted at all from beginning to end, and had even set up a barrier to prevent others from disturbing her.

Seeing the smile hidden in Cen Yu's eyes, Chi Xing's ears turned red.

"You, Ayu, you don't even consider me your disciple, do you?"

Cen Yu gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, her voice as gentle as ever:

"What do you say?"

"so stupid."

God knows how long he'd been pretending. If someone hadn't said that stars need to be eighteen to be... he probably wouldn't have been able to hide it for long.

Chi Xing felt overwhelmed by the surprise, and remembering Cen Yu's words, he asked again:

"So, when you said we weren't master and disciple, you weren't trying to get rid of me?"

Cen Yu laughed out loud: "If I wanted to get rid of you, would I have waited until now?"

Chi Xing's lips curled up in a smile, and he happily lowered his head to kiss Cen Yu again.

Cen Yu stepped aside, saying, "You're still injured. Let's talk after you've recovered."

Akahoshi clung to his waist, refusing to let go: "No, we're not master and disciple anymore, so what are we?"

He insisted on making their relationship official today.

Chixing said earnestly, "I like you, Ayu, I've loved you for a very long time. Can you be my Daoist partner?"

Cen Yu looked down at him, watching Chi Xing grow up. When she first had those thoughts, Cen Yu felt remorseful for a while.

This is his disciple, yet he has such despicable thoughts, it's utterly absurd.

The more this feeling was suppressed, the more wildly it grew, until one night, he heard Chixing calling out for Ayu in his dream.

Cen Yu could no longer control her feelings for Chi Xing and could only suppress them, thinking that they would disappear on their own in a few years.

Watching Chi Xing grow up day by day into a handsome young man, Cen Yu's heart only grew stronger, and even her senior sister noticed it.

Cen Yu decided to stop suppressing her feelings and boldly admitted that she was in love with Chi Xing, intending to make things clear today.

Unexpectedly, Xingxing took the initiative.

Admiring Akahoshi's earnest yet anxious face, Cen Yu gently stroked his cheek with her well-defined knuckles and softly asked:

When did you start liking it?

Akahoshi also raised her hand and grasped the hand that was placed on her face, gently rubbing her face against his palm and turning her head to kiss his palm.

"A long time ago, I couldn't help but like you when I saw you, and I want to like you forever and love you forever."

His gaze was devout, as if he were looking at the only moonlight in his heart, praying for a touch of warmth from it.

Cen Yu smiled gently, just like countless times when they were children, holding him tenderly and speaking softly.

"Okay, I promise you."

Chi Xing pressed herself against Cen Yu, burying her face deep in the crook of his neck. She then smiled and looked up at him, and as they looked at each other, they kissed again.

When the barrier gate opened, it was almost dark, and many sect members stayed here to rest and regroup overnight.

As is customary, the people of Xuanfu Sect would slowly walk back the next day, and they could also gain experience along the way.

Outside the carriage, Cheng Ling and the others were watching Ye Kui instruct people.

"Half an hour has passed, isn't he tired?" Cheng Ling asked Xuan Yin in a low voice.

Xuan Yin shook his head: "I don't know. Do you want something to eat? They hunted a deer."

This deer-like animal lacks sentience, yet its meat possesses spiritual energy, which is why most people enjoy eating it.

Cheng Ling nodded: "I want to eat roasted beast meat."

Xuan Yin turned around and instructed his disciples to process the meat, while he lit a fire.

Cen Yu checked Chi Xing's injuries again. The external injuries were slowly healing after taking some pills, but the internal injuries still needed more rest.

"I'm fine now, I want to go out with you." Akahoshi didn't want to be alone in the carriage.

Cen Yu agreed. Xingxing had a good appetite, and since he rarely came out, he was allowed to eat more deer meat.

As soon as he came out, Ye Kui arrived with several disciples.

"Immortal Venerable Yu Ling, I heard that your disciple has made a breakthrough. Congratulations!"

Cen Yu looked at him, as if asking: Is something the matter?

Not receiving a reply, Ye Kui grew angry, knowing he couldn't beat him, and could only suppress his anger and say:

“My disciple happened to be near that lightning tribulation. Look at what he's been done to!”

Cen Yu glanced at the disciples, who were covered in dirt, and agreed:

"Isn't Sect Leader Ye going to take them for treatment? Or are they coming to Xuanfu Sect to buy medicine?"

Ye Kui: ...

He clearly came to seek justice, not to buy pills.

Bai Xu was already in pain all over due to his injury, and he was extremely irritable.

This tribulation lightning was like poison; the pills from the Tianshan Sword Sect were completely ineffective, and Bai Xu was in excruciating pain.

Seeing Cen Yu still pretending to be stupid, he got angry and, disregarding his status, directly confronted her:

"It was Akahoshi who caused us this mess, aren't you going to compensate us?"

Just as Chi Xing was about to say something, Cen Yu patted her hand, her clear, cold voice carrying a disdainful tone:

"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me like that?"

Bai Xu felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze, and said somewhat hesitantly:

"I... I'm telling the truth. What, you're not going to compensate me for the injury?"

"That was a tribulation lightning. Everyone else ran away except you. I thought you liked it."

Cen Yu spoke a bit loudly, and the people from other sects around could hear him clearly. Some of them couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Furthermore, your disciples tried to steal the spiritual plants from Crimson Star, even using their numbers to bully the few and the strong to oppress the weak. Is this the behavior of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect?"

He looked at Ye Kui with a sharp gaze, which made Ye Kui's heart skip a beat.

"I don't know about that."

"You don't know? Is your disciple mute and unable to speak, or are you, the sect leader, so preoccupied with showing off your power and cursing that you've completely forgotten about the important matters?"

He glanced at the members of the Tianshan Sword Sect and said coolly:

"This is the sect master of the Tianshan Sword Sect. Compared to the old sect master, he has truly surpassed his predecessor."

These words were full of sarcasm, and Ye Kui was so angry that he gasped for breath, but couldn't utter a single word.

He could only glare at Bai Xu and grit his teeth, saying, "Why did you have to be so talkative?"

Having said that, he felt too ashamed to stay there and left with his disciples that very night.

The Xuanfu Sect members didn't take them seriously at all. They had Jade Ling Immortal Venerable, and the younger generation included Han Yang and Ouyang Yun.

Even if Cen Yu and the others are gone in the future, they will still have enough strength to fight against the Tianshan Sword Sect.

Chi Xing didn't have a place to speak, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Yan Xiao staring blankly in the direction the Tianshan Sword Sect had left.

Akahoshi:? ?

Could this kid be falling for someone?
