1905 There’s a Long Way to Go (2)
There had been a lot of conflicts between the First Elder’s disciples and the disciples of the Fifth Elder in the dark. Other people didn’t know Xia Qing’s personality, but the disciples of the Fifth Elder knew very well. They certainly didn’t believe the rumors outside. The atmosphere between the disciples of the two elders slowly became intense. Tian Kui’s face became gloomier and gloomier. Hua Ling looked pitiful and weak, while Rong Xin looked like he didn’t care.
Xia Qing didn’t explain at all. In her opinion, this matter wasn’t worth spending any effort at all. If she had time, she might as well focus more on her cultivation. Even though Yun Luochen was also very dissatisfied in his mind, it was Juxing School’s business after all. He knew that he shouldn’t interrupt.
Since the five elders didn’t come back, Yun Luochen stayed in Juxing School for the time being and followed Xia Qing almost every day. Xia Qing didn’t think too much about it. After all, the two of them were old friends.
The two of them chatted for a long time. Usually, Yun Luochen was the one asking questions and Xia Qing was the one answering. She said a lot of things, but the two of them avoided the same topics at the same time, including anything about Little Fire and the Fire Cloud Wolf.
“When you go to the Yun family, you’ll be able to see Yun Feng’s Second Brother, Senior Feng and a lot of people,” said Yun Luochen as he told her all about the few people in the Yun family at the moment. Xia Qing was very happy after hearing that. “Really? That’s great!” Her teacher’s Second Brother could be resurrected. Her teacher must be very happy. She really wanted to meet the Senior that even her teacher called Master. He must be a top powerhouse!
“Brother Yun Qi’s good news is probably coming soon. I wonder if Yun Feng can come back,” said Yun Luochen. “You’ll have to come too. You must not miss the event.”
Xia Qing chuckled. “Of course. I hope to meet my master.”
“You’ll definitely meet her. I didn’t make it in time for Brother Yun Sheng’s wedding. I can’t miss Brother Yun Qi’s wedding. Speaking of which, Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi have already matured. They’ll get married sooner or later.”
Xia Qing nodded. There was no doubt about the relationship between her teacher and Brother Lanyi. Her teacher would definitely be happy!
Speaking of this, Yun Luochen glanced at Xia Qing. A gust of wind blew and Yun Luochen seemed to be mumbling, “What about you? Have you thought about… when you’ll get married?”
Xia Qing was stunned. She pointed at herself. “Are you asking me?”
Yun Luochen chuckled. “Of course I’m asking you. Have you never thought about it?”
Xia Qing’s black eyes glittered. She turned around and looked in a certain direction, fixing her gaze. “…I’ve never thought about this question…”
“Why not? You’re a girl. You’ll get married one day!”
Xia Qing turned around and chuckled. “Do girls have to get married? There’s nothing wrong with being alone.”
Yun Luochen suddenly frowned. Looking at Xia Qing’s indifferent expression, a trace of anger rose in his heart. Thinking of the night Xia Qing cried at the beginning, he wondered… if she couldn’t let go of that wolf.
“You still can’t let go? It’s been so long… There won’t be a result between you and him,” said Yun Luochen. Awkwardness suddenly flashed through Xia Qing’s face. “What are you talking about… I don’t…”
“You do!” Yun Luochen shouted in a low voice. Xia Qing’s face darkened and she didn’t say anything else. “Let’s not talk about anything else. Just the difference between a Magic Beast and a human being is destined that there won’t be a result. Even if there is a result… it’s still painful. That Fire Cloud Wolf also knows this, or it wouldn’t have avoided you like this. Don’t you know that very well?”
Xia Qing’s heart suddenly ached and she clenched her fists tightly. She certainly knew why Little Fire avoided her and was so cold to her! She only chose to leave because she knew!
“Qingqing, don’t seal yourself up. What he can’t give you, others can!” Yun Luochen said. “He left you so that you could be happy. Even if you want to escape, you can’t use your entire life!”
Xia Qing’s heart ached again! “Stop talking! How would I not know what you’re saying? Brother Little Fire… He’s doing this for me… Even if he’s fierce and cold to me, everything he does is for me. I certainly understand that! But I can’t forget him! I can’t pretend that this relationship doesn’t exist!”
“Qingqing…” Yun Luochen couldn’t bear to see her in pain. Xia Qing pressed her heart that kept hurting. Every time she thought of this relationship that she knew wouldn’t end well, her heart would hurt so much! She, who knew it wouldn’t end well, still persisted right now. She was probably a complete fool in other people’s eyes!
“If you don’t try to let go, how do you know that you can’t?” Yun Luochen strode close and grabbed Xia Qing’s shoulder, shaking her body fiercely. “You’ve never really opened your eyes to look around you. Open your eyes and look!”
Xia Qing raised her head and looked at Yun Luochen’s eyes that seemed to be on fire, feeling a bit confused. Yun Luochen’s heart was pulled fiercely by such a gaze. He couldn’t hold it in anymore. He pulled Xia Qing into his arms and hugged her fiercely!
“What are you doing?” Xia Qing was shocked. She pushed him away with both hands and wanted to leave. Yun Luochen held her tightly in his arms. The emotions accumulated in his heart were like a volcano eruption. If he didn’t vent them, they would probably burn himself to death!
“I like you, Qingqing! I like you!” Yun Luochen roared as his deep voice echoed in Xia Qing’s ears. Xia Qing’s body completely froze. Yun Luochen held her tightly. “I like you… I’ve always liked you…”
Like me? A voice flashed through Xia Qing’s mind. She looked at Yun Luochen in a daze. Yun Luochen slowly moved back. The two of them faced each other and looked at each other in the eyes. Yun Luochen blushed in embarrassment. Seeing Xia Qing’s shocked expression, he said in a low voice, “Are you so surprised? I’ve always been very obvious. You just couldn’t see it.”
Xia Qing was a bit confused. Yun Luochen liked her? When did it start… Why didn’t she know? She indeed couldn’t see anything else around her, or how would she not notice his feelings…
“I can wait for you… Don’t be in a hurry to reject me.” Yun Luochen let go of his arm and took a step back. Xia Qing was still a bit dazed and listened to him quietly. “I know feelings can’t be forced, but I can wait! Qingqing, I can give you what he can’t give you! I can make you happy! I sincerely hope you can be happy!” Yun Luochen’s black eyes were sincere. After saying that, he chuckled. “I think you need space to think. I’ll… go back first.” After saying that, Yun Luochen turned around and left. It was obvious that he was a bit embarrassed. Xia Qing looked at his body in a daze. After Yun Luochen left, Xia Qing slowly sat down and looked at the ground with her head lowered. When her hand touched the cold ground, her eyes suddenly became hot…
