There are four systems at the beginning. What happened to the scumbag Yidiandian?

Si Yi's face flushed. He clenched his fists in confusion and said after a while: "Grand Elder, I... I don't know."

"I'm afraid Elder Xia will refuse, and then I won't even have the chance to watch her from afar like I do now."

The elder patted Si Yi on the shoulder and said, "Think about it carefully. If you have made up your mind, come to me anytime. But remember, don't force it. Let everything take its course."

Si Yi nodded silently, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He knew that his feelings for Li Moen were growing deeper and deeper, but he didn't dare to express it easily.

At this time, the Great Elder's proposal put him into deep conflict.

He didn't know whether he should take this brave step and fight for what might be a very slim chance.

Si Yi paced back and forth in the Jingxi Palace, feeling extremely conflicted.

On the one hand, he longed to be closer to Li Moen, to become her confidante and to be by her side; on the other hand, he was afraid that after being rejected, even this vague connection would be severed.

But soon, Si Yi stopped and a hint of determination appeared in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and said, "Master, I have made up my mind. Please help me lobby. But no matter what the result is, I am willing to accept it."

The Great Elder nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since you have decided, I will give it a try. However, you must also be mentally prepared."

Afterwards, the Great Elder found a suitable time and came to the foot of the fairy mountain to ask for a meeting with Li Moen.

The fairy mountain barrier opened a gap for the great elder, who then flew to the top of the mountain on his sword.

Li Moen was a little surprised when she saw the Great Elder coming. "Great Elder, I wonder why you are here today?"

The elder was upright in her simulator and defended her many times.

So Li Moen unconsciously felt respect for him in her heart.

The Great Elder bowed and saluted, then slowly said, "Elder Xia, I came here today to ask for a favor."

Li Moen motioned the elder to sit down and said, "Go ahead, elder."

The Great Elder cleared his throat and said, "Elder Xia, Si Yi has always admired you. He is upright and talented."

"I wonder if you would be willing to accept him as your confidant, so that he can have the opportunity to accompany you and help you solve your problems."

Li Moen was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that the Great Elder would speak up for Si Yi.

To put it nicely, they are close male and female friends, but in fact, in the world of cultivation, a couple practicing together are just like husband and wife in the human world, while a close male and female friend are equivalent to "concubines".

In the medicine garden outside the bamboo house, Qi Xiao was bending over, concentrating on taking care of those precious spiritual herbs.

The sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows on him. The breeze blew gently, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers and plants, but at this moment Qi Xiao had no intention of enjoying this peaceful atmosphere.

The words of the Great Elder asking Li Moen to be Si Yi's confidant were like a thunderclap, exploding in Qi Xiao's ears.

His body shook violently and the tools in his hand almost fell to the ground. At that moment, Qi Xiao felt as if a corner of his world seemed to have collapsed in an instant.

The bitterness in my heart spread quickly like the tide.

He didn't understand why someone would want to get close to his master in this way. In his heart, his master Li Moen had always been an unattainable existence. She was like the brightest star in the night sky, beautiful and mysterious. People admired her but dared not approach her easily.

The master is extremely powerful and has a noble character. Her every move exudes a unique charm that makes Qi Xiao fall for her.

He always thought that his feelings for his master were simply respect and admiration, a friendship between master and disciple.

However, when he heard the words of the Great Elder, he realized how strong the uneasiness and jealousy in his heart were.

At the same time, anger welled up in my heart.

Qi Xiao didn't understand why Si Yi had such thoughts. He felt that Si Yi's behavior was a blasphemy to his master.

The Master is so holy, how could he be asked in such a way? He even felt a little dissatisfied with the Great Elder. Why did the Great Elder act as a lobbyist? Didn't he know the Master's nobility?

Qi Xiao gripped the tool tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

His heart was full of contradictions and struggles. On the one hand, he felt uneasy and jealous that his master might be approached by others. He was afraid that his master would agree to Si Yi's request. If that happened, he felt that the sacred existence in his heart would be tarnished.

On the other hand, he was confused by his inexplicable emotions. He didn't know what was wrong with him and why he had such a strong reaction. Could it be that his feelings for his master were more than just a master-disciple relationship? This thought frightened him. He didn't dare to think deeply about it or face the feelings that might be hidden deep in his heart.

Qi Xiao forced himself to calm down and told himself not to be swayed by his emotions.

She was silent for a moment, then said, "Great Elder, Si Yi is extremely talented and has a calm mind. I have recommended him to Taoist Canglan to be the new head."

"It's a waste of talent to let Si Yi be my confidant. He has a bright future and shouldn't be limited here. Although I admire him, I don't have any romantic feelings for him."

“I hope that he can continue to move forward on the path of righteousness, become the backbone of the Xiling Sect, and contribute to the prosperity of the sect.”

"Grand Elder, please convey my words to Si Yi. Don't let him waste too much time on this."

The Great Elder was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Elder Xia is far-sighted, and I was not thoughtful enough. I will convey your words to Si Yi truthfully."

The Great Elder returned to the Jingxin Hall and told Si Yi exactly what Li Moen had said.

After hearing this, Si Yi felt disappointed, but he also deeply admired Li Moen's open-mindedness and foresight.

He understood that he could no longer cling to this relationship, but should focus on cultivation and contributing to the sect as Li Moen said.

On this side on the fairy mountain, after the great elder was refused to leave, Qi Xiao felt joy in his heart.

But before he could be happy for a while, Li Moen called him over with a cold face, "Your breath was sometimes calm and sometimes agitated, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. People who practice immortality must avoid such big emotional fluctuations, which can easily breed inner demons and affect their practice."

Qi Xiao's heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Master, you are right. I know I was wrong."

Li Moen frowned slightly, with a hint of severity in her eyes: "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Qi Xiao thought for a moment and whispered, "My disciple should not let his emotions control him and affect his state of mind in cultivation."

He didn't dare to tell everyone why his emotions were so volatile.
