The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 498 Immortal Master Disciple Is A Little Stable (47)
As soon as Jieying heard this, how did she know what Meng Yuya was up to?
The meaning of the other party's words could not be clearer.

That is, she wanted the Foundation Establishment Pill that didn't cost any money. That was fine, but she had to trade her body and her future life. This was simply letting her trade herself with others.

Thinking of this, Jieying could no longer sit still.

Seeing that her fair and beautiful face was flushed instantly, she stood up abruptly, wanting to leave directly.

Seeing this situation, Meng Yuya just blew on her plain white and delicate fingers calmly.

"Junior Sister Jie, a person's life can be said to be long or short. There are some things that you should plan ahead of time."

"After all, you are young and good-looking now. If you don't plan for your future in advance and miss this good opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the days to come..."

"Sometimes, people live not only for themselves, but also for their families, are you right?"

Jieying got up and turned her back to Meng Yuya, when she heard this, tears rolled down her cheeks silently.

She suppressed the choking in her throat and replied calmly, "I'll think about it again."

After all, she left Meng Yuya's cave without looking back.

When she left, the beautiful luminous crystals inlaid on the stone walls on both sides of this cave were still bright and moving, but she no longer wanted to appreciate them.

After Jieying left, Meng Yuya sat on the soft stool by herself.

She was using the index finger of her left hand to gently rub the white and soft index finger of her right hand.

Looking at her slender fingers, she asked softly, "In a woman's life, the best years are always so short and so fleeting. I live a new life and use such painstaking means just to climb up the mountain in the shortest time." To be taller, to live more beautiful, to see more beautiful scenery in this world... You think, is there anything wrong with me thinking and doing this?"

The index finger being caressed by the master was speechless to the master's question.

In the room where the beauty is sitting alone, the candles are still brightly lit, but the silhouette projected on the wall is black and distorted like a ghost.

After leaving Meng Yuya's cave, Jieying walked alone on the way back to her residence from Banyue District.

In the night sky, the stars were shining brightly, and the light quietly reflected the shallow tears on her cheeks.

On the way down the mountain, there was no wind and the weather was not too cold, but Jieying subconsciously hugged her arms tightly with both hands.

She was still thinking about what Meng Yuya said over and over again in her mind.

To some extent, she knew that what the other party said made sense.

Based on the current conditions in her family, she can't even afford her training during the Qi refining period, so she can only rely on her to take on tasks desperately to make a living.If she had laid the foundation, all the way forward would depend on her alone.

In fact, it's not like she hasn't thought about being like other attractive female fellow disciples, trying to find ways to get involved with those male fellow cultivators with excellent backgrounds, so as to earn some cultivation resources for herself.

But she really can't do it.

Her stubborn self-esteem did not allow her to do the act of exchanging her hue for resources.

Even though those female classmates laughed and said that everyone just got what they needed from each other, she still couldn't do it.

Jieying doesn't understand why her road ahead is getting more and more difficult.

Don't those people in the city always like to say that as long as young people enter the Great Sect, they will be able to rise to the sky and soar all the way in the days to come?
Didn't it mean that after becoming a monk, one can easily subdue demons, be admired by the world, and glorify the family's lintel?

Why, why didn't she see the bright future, but all she saw were the thresholds that stood in front of her?Those thresholds that were so high that she was almost insurmountable?
Could it be that she, who came from an ordinary background and still wanted to climb the ladder, should have given up her thoughts of promotion, found a good family and married early, and then had children and lived a life of being a husband and a teacher?
The sadness rising in Jieying's heart at this moment was far greater than the despair she had felt when she was in danger and on the verge of death.

If the despair in the face of death is due to the confusion and fear of the unknown, then the sadness in her heart at this moment is due to a clear understanding of reality.

Sometimes, facing reality is more terrifying than facing death, and it requires a great courage.

Under the same starry sky, there are countless people like Jieying who are worried about their future.

It's just that everyone has their own sorrows, and it's not enough to explain to outsiders.

In a house located in the most core area of ​​Changtian Sect, Shui Yi, who has been staying in the residence of his master and master until now, just now, with his back to the starlight, slowly retreated from the former room and closed the door. door.

In the quiet courtyard directly facing the door, there were a dozen or so senior elders in dark purple robes, and Xiu Rongguang in blue robes was among them.

These elders were the core members who knew about the suzerain's poisoning, and they were the ones who initially blocked the news.

But in recent days, the strange poison in the suzerain's body has met a turning point that it can be cured, so they are a little relieved.

Like Shui Yi's sudden visit tonight, in the past, they must not have allowed each other to enter the suzerain's residence, but now it doesn't matter.

When Shui Yi came out of the sect leader's room, everyone looked at her.

An elder in purple clothes was the first to ask her, "Shui Yi, how is the situation of the sect leader now?"

"It's not bad, and it's not too good. He just took a dose of medicine and fell asleep. I hope that medicine will make him feel better. Everyone present, if there is nothing important to do next, please don't disturb the suzerain and his old man rest."

Shui Yi's expression was calm when he spoke, and there was no expression of sadness or worry.

After hearing Shui Yi's words, the purple-clothed elder nodded, but didn't say anything more.

At this time, Shui Yi turned to look at an elder from the alchemy hall and asked, "Elder You, I heard from the sect master that the strange poison he contracted during this trip was not the same as that of the person who was traveling with him. , the strange poison poisoned by an elder of Jianhaizong should be the same kind. I wonder if you can find a way to contact the people from Jianhaizong and ask them about their situation?"

Elder You, who was hit by the water, was short in stature, with a thin face, but his eyes were full of shrewd and capable light, which made him look very capable.

Hearing the words, he immediately answered, "I happen to have an old friend in the alchemy hall of Jianhaizong. After I go back tonight, I will ask him about it. But my old friend is not from the same line as me. The alchemy method, maybe he encountered this kind of strange poison, and there may be other wonderful methods."

As soon as Elder You finished speaking, several other people present also followed suit.

"Elder You, don't be self-effacing. The suzerain was accidentally contaminated with such a weird poison during his trip. It is amazing that you can find a way to suppress the poison in such a short period of time."

"That's right. If Elder You didn't take action this time and let me wait to deal with the strange poison, we would have to stare blankly and be helpless."

"Extremely, this time the suzerain's old man's physical condition has improved, thanks to Elder You's masterful skills!"

While the other elders were talking to Elder You, Xiu Rongguang quietly leaned towards Shuiyi.

When Shui Yi realized that he was about to step into the range of two meters around him, he immediately moved his feet first, walked down the corridor outside the house, and walked forward a few meters away.

She looked around at the senior elders who were talking about the excitement, coughed lightly and said, "Elders, it's getting late tonight, and the suzerain has already gone to sleep now, I think we should still go to bed." Let's all go home."

After being reminded by her, the elders also realized that their performance just now was a bit noisy.

Soon, the old and mature people greeted each other, turned around and went back to their respective residences.

After they dispersed and left this courtyard, Shui Yi also planned to return to his small courtyard.

But as soon as she stepped out of the mansion where the suzerain lived, Xiu Rongguang followed her.

The two people speeded up at the same time, and after walking hundreds of meters one after the other, Shui, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, looked back at Xiu Rongguang and said, "It's almost here, go back to your palace , stop following me."

Under the starry night, Xiu Rongguang, who was handsome and handsome, looked at Shui Yi with gentle eyes and asked, "Shui Yi, why do you always reject people thousands of miles away?"

"On the way to pursue the great road, if there is only one person walking alone, how lonely would it be? Shui Yi, can't you give me a chance to be the one standing by your side?"

Such affectionate words, coupled with Xiu Rongguang's handsome face, turned into other female cultivators here, after hearing these words, most of them would be heartbroken and bow their heads shyly .

Ran Shui looked at Xiu Rongguang's eyelids without even blinking, and directly replied to the other party, "Have you finished?"

"Don't follow me after that. Also, you have been standing around too many people, and I never like to join in the fun in crowded places."

As soon as Shui finished speaking, he turned his head, jumped lightly in the air, and disappeared in front of Xiu Rongguang in a streamline.

The latter looked at her fleeting figure, and the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually solidified, and then became cold and stiff.

Shui Yi, Shui Yi, since you are so ignorant of flattery, don't blame me for choosing a different path.

After all, your master has sat on the supreme position of the Changtian Sect's suzerain for too long.

Taking advantage of the strange poison on his body this time, it is time for him to step down from the position of suzerain and rest well.

Xiu Rongguang, with thoughts churning in his head, finally took a deep look at the direction of Shuiyi's residence, then turned and returned to his residence.

In the grass at night, insects uttered a cry or two from time to time, while the shining stars in the sky remained the same.

The night passed quietly.

In the Banyue District, Lin Shu woke up after a night's sleep, stood up, stretched, washed, and then started her day's practice as usual.

After she finished her practice in the morning, she went to the Wenjing Pavilion in the afternoon to delve into the various classics collected there.

When she woke up from those mysterious and endless sea of ​​books, in the blink of an eye, she realized that it was already the meal time of the day.

Since Shui Yi had told her not to go out in the near future, Lin Shu, with the idea of ​​saving money, went to the meal place in the outer mountain area and only ordered some ordinary ingredients to satisfy her hunger.

This scene also made the steward of the catering place who was already familiar with her feel inexplicably sad when he saw her bowing her head while eating.

Think about it, how bold and forthright Qing Weizi looked when she came to the restaurant to order food and spend a lot of money?

But now, she can only order a few portions of food without spiritual energy to satisfy her hunger like other ordinary disciples in the Qi refining period... Sigh, this kind of sadness that belongs to a foundation-building monk is not someone who has experienced it like him. Can't see it.

It seems that all the contributions in her pocket have been emptied by practice, right?
Thinking of this, the manager felt a sense of sympathy in his heart, and decided to stick to each other.

So, he ordered a portion of mountain antelope meat fried with green onions out of his own pocket, and asked the handyman disciple in charge of the waiter to bring this hot dish to Lin Shu's table.

Lin Shu, who was trying to chew the vegetables in her mouth, glanced out of the corner of her eyes, and saw a handyman disciple put a plate of shiny meat and vegetables on her table.

She quickly swallowed the vegetable leaves in two or two mouthfuls and called out to the handyman disciple who was about to leave.

"Junior brother, you served the wrong dish. I didn't order this dish of meat!"

This handyman disciple, who was called a junior by the monk who built the foundation for the first time, looked at Lin Shu quite flattered and replied, "You misunderstood, and I didn't tell you that this dish is actually given to you for free by our steward. of……"

After hearing the answer from the handyman disciple, Lin Shu turned her head to look near the checkout counter with some doubts.

The goateeed steward standing behind the counter was looking at her with encouragement and expectation.

There was even a friendly uncle-like smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, as if looking at a poor child who made people feel distressed.

Lin Shu was already surprised that someone suddenly gave her food to eat, but when she saw the weird smile on the steward's face, she was even more puzzled.

Thinking that it is simply a dish given by someone else, if you don’t eat it for nothing, maybe the meat on this plate is a meat ingredient that has not been sold today, and it will go bad after a long time?
So after Lin Shu thanked the steward, she turned around and continued to eat.

When she went to the counter to pay the bill after finishing her meal, the goatee steward settled the bill for her and kindly reminded her a few words.

"...Although you are not young now, you are still a baby on the way to seek the Tao!"

"This person, you have to walk slowly on the road ahead, don't always rush. If you encounter any obstacles or stumbling blocks, you will always get over them. You can't become a big fat man in one bite, right?"

"Young man, you still have a long way to go, keep your heart and walk slowly..."

Although Lin Shu didn't know why the other party suddenly said these words to her, she could always hear the other party's kindness.

Therefore, after she took back her sect nameplate, she saluted and thanked the other party, and then left the place where the meal was served.

In the next few days, Lin Shu almost lived a regular life similar to today.

It wasn't until news suddenly came from the Punishment Hall that Han Shuiyi died unexpectedly and she was asked to come over to cooperate with the investigation that her peaceful life was broken again.
