Chapter 1227: Chapter 1227: Qiukui Leaves
This had already surpassed Yun Zhonghe’s capabilities. After learning Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root, Chen Tianlong could be said to fight him to a draw. Although Chen Tianlong had just reached the peak of the Seventh Star of the Celestial Dao, the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique could not be measured by ordinary cultivation techniques and secret manuals, after all, it was quite heaven-defying.
"Thank you, Master!" Chen Tianlong respectfully thanked.
Everyone had been busy all day. After bidding farewell to the elder Yun Zhonghe, Chen Tianlong took Lin Wushuang back to his room.
This time, Wushuang did not return to her room alone but directly entered Chen Tianlong’s room. Wu Mengting watched their backs, her heart feeling empty, she bit her lip and slowly walked towards her room.
After returning to the room, Chen Tianlong lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, thinking about something unknown, Lin Wushuang walked over and lay down on the bed as well.
She no longer cared about this, although their relationship wasn’t publicly announced, they were lovers, it was understood by both.
Meanwhile, two more people were tossing and turning in their rooms, unable to sleep: Pure Yang Feifei and Wu Mengting.
Since seeing Qiukui in the cave being so fortunate, repeatedly receiving Chen Tianlong’s care and protection, and at critical times, risking her life for Chen Tianlong, Pure Yang Feifei felt conflicted.
Anyone with clear eyes could see that Qiukui had feelings for Chen Tianlong, and not ordinary feelings; Pure Yang Feifei questioned herself if she could do the same.
So Pure Yang Feifei was very conflicted. Initially, there was only Lin Wushuang, although it was difficult, if she tried hard, she might still win, given how outstanding and beautiful she was.
But now with Qiukui added, Pure Yang Feifei thought, it’s really hopeless.
And Wu Mengting was unable to sleep because she saw that once Chen Tianlong returned, his mind was filled with Lin Wushuang. Although she had long known this result, she still couldn’t help but feel sad.
Lin Wushuang lay down for a while and then said softly, "Chen Tianlong, are you tired of Wushuang?"
"What?"
Chen Tianlong heard Lin Wushuang say this and thought she had seen something amiss, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Wushuang, don’t let your mind wander, this isn’t the case."
"Well, today I saw Qiukui’s face pressed against your back when you returned, what’s going on?" Lin Wushuang voiced her doubt.
Chen Tianlong knew Wushuang was jealous, so he hugged her and then softly said, "Don’t ask anymore, okay? I will always love you."
Initially, Lin Wushuang wanted to get to the bottom of this, but seeing Chen Tianlong say this made her feel a bit unreasonable, "Chen Tianlong, I’m sorry!"
"Hehe, Wushuang, you’re really nice, I am very happy to have you."
At this moment, Chen Tianlong genuinely felt Lin Wushuang’s love for him, it was more about tolerance.
"Chen Tianlong, actually..." Lin Wushuang wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Hmm? What’s wrong, Wushuang?"
Chen Tianlong saw Wushuang seemed to have more to say, so he asked curiously.
Lin Wushuang thought about it and then bit her lip, "Actually, that Qiukui really likes you, and her body has been... seen by you."
These words had been pent up inside Lin Wushuang for a long time. She feared that saying it out loud would make Chen Tianlong turn to someone else, but thinking about it, Qiukui was also pitiful, taken advantage of without any complaint.
If Qiukui really demanded to be with Chen Tianlong, then Lin Wushuang would feel less guilty.
Yet Qiukui was so kind-hearted, so quiet, making it impossible to diminish the nobility of giving without expecting return. So she decided to raise the issue, regardless of the result she would accept it.
"Wushuang, you..."
At this moment, Chen Tianlong really didn’t know what to say.
This woman made him feel he couldn’t leave; her love, her tolerance had surpassed normal boundaries, and currently, he was powerless against this treacherous society’s burdens, not wishing to drag too many people down with him, nor involve too many people.
Once he caused trouble, it would be severely retaliated against just like during the trials; if Lin Wushuang hadn’t had his Reversed Strength Qi in her body, she might have been dead by now.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong tightly hugged Lin Wushuang and whispered in her ear, "I will love you. If you don’t leave me, I will pledge my life."
Lin Wushuang’s eyes had long been filled with tears, the two tightly embraced each other and then slowly lay down, holding each other, and sweetly fell asleep.
Outside their door, a graceful silhouette dropped silent tears in the breeze, turned, and walked away from Lingyun Pavilion, slowly disappearing into the mist-covered mountain ravine...
That person was Wu Mengting, her task was completed this time, and Chen Tianlong had been safely brought back, she now had no regrets and was returning to the Shaolin Temple.
These days, she felt something was off with her body; ever since she beat the Demonic Qi against Hao Shuai last time, the Demonic Qi seemed uncontrollable again.
This time the Evil Qi’s attempt to stabilize the Demonic Qi seemed for nothing, but Wu Mengting didn’t regret a bit because she had saved Chen Tianlong.
In her room, she wrote a letter, a letter only for Chen Tianlong.
At around seven in the evening, Chen Tianlong and Wushuang came out of their room, as Lingyun Pavilion had started serving food, and a disciple came to notify everyone to dine.
As they passed Qiukui’s room, Lin Wushuang deliberately walked over and knocked on the door. Though she was a rival, she had decided to compete fairly with Qiukui.
Because this girl was truly pitiful, so lovable, so unworldly and detached from worldly strife, only willing to give without expecting return.
"Qiukui sister, it’s Wushuang, let’s go eat together," Lin Wushuang knocked on the door and then loudly called into the room.
Yet there was no response for a long time. Lin Wushuang thought Qiukui had fallen asleep, so she called again, but the result was the same. Chen Tianlong beside her was startled, wondering if something had happened, feeling somewhat nervous.
Although he hadn’t openly expressed his love, Qiukui’s dedication over these days couldn’t be forgotten.
Never mind that Chen Tianlong wasn’t heartless, from his loyalty to Lin Wushuang, it was clear he was responsible and capable, a true man.
Thus, Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang simultaneously pushed open the door, hurriedly entering Qiukui’s room, "Qiukui, are you there?"
Lin Wushuang quickly called out, to prevent Qiukui from possibly being in the midst of changing, revealing herself, but after entering, the room, including the bedroom, had been searched and not a hint of a person was seen.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong’s gaze fell on a letter on the table. He hurried over, picked it up, and saw clearly it was labeled, "Written for Chen Tianlong."
After reading it, tears welled up in Chen Tianlong’s eyes. He looked up at the sky letting the tears roll back, then deeply sighed.
Lin Wushuang saw Chen Tianlong’s expression and couldn’t help but snatch the letter from his hands, carefully reading it.
"Chen Tianlong, I’m leaving, hoping that you will always live happily with elder sister Wushuang. At this point, I won’t hide from you anymore, I really like you.
Since that glance, I could never forget you day and night, your image lingers in my mind, unable to be wiped away, I force myself not to think of you but find that impossible.
That time in the Forbidden Land cave, I was happy because I could finally counter that move for you. Although I knew I might die at that moment, I felt dying for you was worth it.
This time, I didn’t say goodbye because I feared seeing you again, I wouldn’t want to leave. Forgive my selfishness, I will return home to contemplate, slowly forgetting you... Qiukui."
