I became a villain master, but I conquered the heroine

"You must be careful in there, and you must know how to take care of yourself, okay?" Yuan Chu raised his hand and touched the top of her head, rubbing it gently.

Gu Xi nodded, raised her eyelids, and said with a little girlish playfulness, "I know, Master, you have said this many times."

Yuanchu smiled, "Why? It's only been a short while, are you tired of me so soon? Don't want to listen to me anymore?"

Gu Xi looked down at the tip of her shoe and muttered, "No."

"what is that?"

There was a hint of bitterness in Gu Xi's eyes, because the Master was too good.

It made her unable to resist the urge to talk to her more, stay with her for a little longer, and she didn't want to be separated from her.

How could Yuanchu not see from such terrible dialogue that both of them just didn't want to be separated.

Two years is neither long nor short for a cultivator.

According to the sect's rules, no one is allowed to visit those who are imprisoned in the Cliff of Repentance during that period.

But Yuanchu is not the kind of person who sticks to the rules. At worst, she can sneak in to see her later, Yuanchu thought.

Seeing the obvious disappointment in Gu Xi's eyes, Yuan Chu took a step forward, raised his hand and took the initiative to hug her.

Yuanchu's warm arms pulled her into his embrace, his hands caressing her back, patting it gently.

Gu Xi breathed in the scent around her, which was a familiar and reassuring scent.

Gu Xi could feel the person holding her, and her heart was beating strongly.

As it beats beat by beat, a warm feeling flows into Gu Xi's heart.

Finally, Yuanchu let her go, and a rosewood hairpin appeared in her hand.

Gu Xi didn't understand what was going on. She stared blankly at the rosewood hairpin in Yuan Chu's hand.

The rosewood hairpin is crystal clear with distinct textures, and the whole hairpin is exquisite and elegant.

There was also a faint scent of sandalwood in the air, which was both gentle and concentrating, very much like the scent of Master.

Under the sunlight, it shines with a warm luster.

"Master?" Gu Xi murmured.

Yuanchu placed the rosewood hairpin in Gu Xi's palm. It felt cool, delicate and smooth.

"Here, take it. It contains my spiritual power and a trace of my divine consciousness. It may be useful to you at a critical moment."

If Gu Xi always carried the rosewood hairpin with her, there would be a trace of her spiritual consciousness on the hairpin, and she would probably be able to sense her condition.

Her spiritual power is also attached to it, and Yuanchu hopes that it can protect Gu Xi in times of crisis. Of course, it would be best if it doesn't exist in times of crisis.

Spiritual consciousness is so important to those who practice Taoism, not to mention that the master was injured before.

Gu Xi held the red sandalwood hairpin, her eyes red with anxiety, "Master, this red sandalwood hairpin..."

As if knowing what Gu Xi was thinking, Yuan Chu hurriedly said: "This red sandalwood hairpin was made by me before I was injured. I originally intended to give it to you."

Hearing this, Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Yuan Chu and said, "That's good. Master, don't use your spiritual power recklessly until your injury is healed."

"Yes, Master knows." Yuanchu nodded.

But Gu Xi seemed to be a little unconvinced by what Yuan Chu said.

She curled her lips, grabbed Yuanchu's hand and said, "Master, can you promise me?"

Yuanchu smiled helplessly: "Okay, Master promises you that he will not use his spiritual power until your injury is healed."

"What if Master goes back on his word just to appease me?" Gu Xi asked relentlessly.

"This..." Yuan Chu touched her nose, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

To be honest, if nothing serious happened, she would not use her spiritual power again.

But the young apprentice was very stubborn and insisted that she give an answer, and he was almost asking her to write a letter of guarantee.

Yuan Chuyi raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand, and hooked his little finger.

Gu Xi was stunned, somewhat confused.

Yuan Chu smiled and signaled with his eyes for her to do so.

After Gu Xi did as she was told, Yuan Chu hooked her pinky finger around Gu Xi's and chanted, "Hang or make a promise, for a hundred years."

Although Gu Xi didn't quite understand what Yuan Chu meant by doing this, she guessed that this should be a form of promise.

"Okay, put another stamp on it." Yuanchu said as he stretched out his thumb and moved it again.

Gu Xi understood and stretched out his thumb. With their thumbs facing each other, the stamp was completed.

"Okay, now that the seal has been stamped, I will never go back on my word." Yuanchu said with a smile.

In fact, Gu Xi still didn’t quite understand why the master said that he would not go back on his word once he stamped it.

But she still said "hmm" heavily. Although this way of making a promise was very special, she was willing to accept it as long as it was done by her master.

"Elder Yuan, Axi."

I heard several people shouting from behind.

Gu Xi and Yuan Chu turned around and saw Wei Lingyu, Qiu Chaoyun, and Ye Wan walking towards them.

When they came closer, the three of them bowed to Yuanchu.

Yuan Chu knew that these three people were Gu Xi's good friends, and they came here at this time, probably because they had something to say to Gu Xi.

He thought that staying here might make them uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to move aside and avoid them.

Wei Lingyu looked at Gu Xi and hurriedly said, "Ah Xi, Chao Yun, A Wan and I heard that you were going to the Cliff of Repentance today, so we came to see you off."

Qiu Chaoyun and Ye Wan looked at her and nodded slightly.

Gu Xi looked at the three of them and replied sincerely: "Thank you."

To be honest, the three of them are Gu Xi's friends. In the past, whether they were going down the mountain to gain experience or exploring the secret realms, the three of them also helped Gu Xi a lot.

Gu Xi knew this very well in her mind and was very willing to be friends with the three of them.

After all, the three of them also have a sincere heart and live towards the sun.

"How have you been lately?" Wei Lingyu asked hesitantly.

As her friend, she was unable to provide any help when Gu Xi was in trouble, and she actually felt a little guilty.

The main reason was that they were forced to separate when they were in the secret realm.

The next time we met was when Gu Xi was tried in public, and I never found a chance to see her afterwards.

Gu Xi shook her head. "I'm fine, don't worry."

"I'm sorry, Ah Xi. We were unable to help you in the secret realm at that time, so you were framed by them. There was no evidence at all, and you couldn't defend yourself."

"If only we were by your side at that time, with our testimony, you wouldn't have been punished innocently." Ye Wan lowered his head, feeling somewhat guilty.

Gu Xi felt a warm feeling in her heart. At this moment, Gu Xi knew that besides her master, there were other people who cared about her, and that was enough.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't think too much about it. I'm very happy to be friends with you."

Gu Xi's words caused Wei Lingyu to exclaim, "Really?"

You have to know that when Gu Xi is with them, he is usually silent and speaks very little.

It was the first time that they had heard such straightforward words.

Gu Xi tilted her head and chuckled, "Yeah, of course it's true."

When Gu Xi said this, her eyes were bright, like the shining stars in a summer night.
