"I'm sorry, Sister Yun!"
Xiao Yun scrambled up from the ground.
Qin Yun's face flushed with a wave of red.
"I'm leaving!" Qin Yun said.
"Sister, are you really leaving?" Master Xiao stammered.
Uh, Qin Yun was taken aback again, her eyes glistening with unshed tears as she looked at Xiao Yun, wanting to say something but hesitating.
Could it be that I really have developed feelings for him?
Qin Yun had asked herself this question more than once in her heart.
She felt that coming to see Xiao Yun tonight was an adventure in itself.
Though she said she was leaving, she was hesitant, torn between wanting to go and not wanting to part.
"Xiao Yun, is there something else?" she asked, trying to suppress the surging emotions within her.
"Oh, um, no... nothing..."
As soon as the words left Xiao Yun's mouth, he wanted to slap himself twice.
What kind of talk was that? At a critical moment, he fumbled. What do you mean there’s nothing going on? In truth, he yearned for something to happen with Qin Yun.
In fact, even Qin Yun wanted something to happen with him. After hearing his words, her heart skipped a beat and sank into cold water.
She could tell that this guy had ulterior motives, but come on, you're a man! Can't you be a bit more proactive? You can't expect me, a woman, to...
A hint of disappointment flashed across Qin Yun's heart. Biting her red lip, she turned to leave but suddenly paused at the door. She thought to herself that it wasn't entirely Xiao Yun's fault; after all, she still held the title of Deputy Director, and within the Dragon Team, she was his superior, which put some pressure on him.
Maybe I should take the initiative.
Even if something happened between us, what would it matter?
But then she remembered that she was much older than him and considering her position, it was unrealistic to think about being together. According to the strict rules of the Dragon Team, it was absolutely forbidden for her to be involved with him.
At this moment, Qin Yun's feelings were in turmoil.
“Xiao Yun, do you really like me?”
It seemed she had made up her mind as she slowly turned back around, her eyes enchanting and her cheeks flushed. She gazed intently at Xiao Yun and smiled softly.
That smile could topple cities and nations; it was like the spring breeze brushing against one's face, flowers blooming under the warm sun.
"I like it!" Xiao Yun exclaimed loudly.
Qin Yunwan smiled, her eyes glistening with emotion, and asked, "Is that your true feeling?"
"Sister Yun, I mean it!"
As Xiao Yun spoke these words, the power of the Emotional Spirit Pill within him suddenly erupted. He lunged forward once more, wrapping his arms around the Beautiful Hall Master and said, "Sister, I want to kiss you..."
...
Waves crashed against the shore, and a strong wind blew.
On an island in the East Sea, a young man sat cross-legged on a round stone with his eyes tightly closed and arms crossed over his chest.
Behind him stood two robust individuals, one with a crooked mouth and the other with a flat nose.
"Young Master Bai, it's cold and windy; you should go back and rest. Miss Qin is not yours, so don't think too much about it!" the one with the crooked mouth said with a twitch of his lips.
"Yeah," the flat-nosed one chimed in. "You went to Mingzhu today and said you wanted to bring Miss Qin back, but in front of that Xiao guy, you backed down. You can't blame anyone for that!"
"Zhang San, how can you say that about the young master?" the crooked-mouthed one scolded Zhang San.
The flat-nosed Zhang San retorted defiantly, "Hmph, Li Si, am I wrong? We should have taught that Xiao guy a lesson and then brought back Miss Qin."
Li Si's mouth twisted slightly, but he did not speak.
"You all stop struggling," at this moment, Young Master Bai, sitting cross-legged on a round stone, said, "What you don't know is that Xiao Yun is filled with celestial energy. Even if the three of us combine our strength, we may not be his match!"
Actually, at this moment, Young Master Bai was also secretly curious. Where did the celestial energy on Xiao Yun come from? Moreover, why did I always feel a particularly warm aura from him whenever I got close?
Young Master Bai was actually two years older than Qin Yun. However, due to the unique martial arts he practiced, he appeared to be in his early twenties.
Young Master Bai was an orphan since childhood and was later adopted by Old Man Qin, learning Shaolin martial arts under his guidance.
Later, Old Man Qin adopted Long Yun and Long Yan, a pair of sisters. Young Master Bai immediately developed a fondness for Long Yun and spent every day circling around her. She liked flowers, so he searched everywhere for the most beautiful ones; she loved to eat peaches, so he would sneak into people's yards at midnight to steal them.
At that time, Old Man Qin lived in the countryside and was most troubled by Young Master Bai's mischievous nature. One day he would break someone's head in a fight, and the next day he would steal piglets to roast in the wild.
That spring, a senior sister of Old Man Qin came to visit. She noticed that Young Master Bai had an extraordinary appearance and demeanor and wanted to take him away to learn from her. Master Qin knew that this senior sister had established her own sect and was a remarkable woman from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect. If Young Master Bai followed her, it would surely be a great opportunity; he immediately agreed.
The woman's name was Yu Wen Lian Yan, known as the Fairy of Mist and Haze. At that time, she called out to Young Master Bai and asked him, "What is your name?"
Young Master Bai honestly replied, "My surname is Bai, and my given name is Chi. Others call me Idiot. I remember my mother’s surname was Hua, so they also call me Flower Idiot."
"Idiot and a Flower Idiot! Haha, interesting, really interesting!" The Fairy of Mist and Haze clapped her hands in laughter and said, "I want to take you away to learn from me. I wonder if you would like that!"
"I don't like it. I want to stay by Sister Yun's side. I love her and will never leave her!" Idiot replied loudly.
"Haha, what a little infatuated fool!" Idiot's words made the Fairy of Mist and Haze clap her hands in laughter, and she grew fonder of him, saying, "You’re just a little brat. What do you know about love? Since I've decided on you, you can't escape my Tathagata Palm!"
"Hmph, I won't follow you!" Idiot glared fiercely at the Fairy of Mist and Haze and turned to leave.
Little did he know that just as he reached the door, he heard a "whoosh" behind him, and his head felt hot before he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Idiot had no idea that the Fairy of Mist and Haze had struck a Qi Jin into his sleep point, causing him to fall limp and fall asleep.
"Senior Brother, I'm taking this child. You won't miss him, will you?" The Fairy of Mist and Haze jokingly asked Old Man Qin.
Old Man Qin laughed heartily, "How could I miss him? This kid is too mischievous; he brings me all sorts of trouble every day. It's perfect for you to take him away; it saves me a lot of hassle! By the way, jade must be carved to become a gem. Letting him stay with you will surely lead to great achievements in the future!"
The Fairy of Mist and Haze nodded, "This child's foundation is indeed good; he is someone who can be molded!"
That very night, the Fairy of Mist and Haze carried Idiot on her shoulder and flew with her sword to this lonely Eastern Sea Isle.
From then on, Idiot spent his days on this island studying with the Fairy of Mist and Haze and practicing the Ancient Martial Arts Sect's skills. In the blink of an eye, many years passed. The now seventy-year-old Fairy of Mist and Haze showed no signs of aging; she still looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties.
The Fairy of Mist and Haze remained unmarried and raised Idiot as if he were her own son. However, to others, they appeared more like siblings.
Yet, Idiot secretly realized that the Fairy of Mist and Haze had actually developed feelings for him. How could this old enchantress look so young? Would she ever grow old?
The Fairy of Mist and Haze also told him that as long as he diligently practiced with her on the island, he would never grow old and could live for over eight hundred years.
Over eight hundred years?
That’s even longer than Peng Zu!
In fact, the Idiot was quite handsome; the black mole on his face was something he had deliberately applied.
The Idiot had a kind heart. Seeing the two companions beside him, who were quite unappealing to the eye, he would always apply a fake mole on his own face whenever they went out together. He would say to them, "We are all three great ugly men, so let’s not look down on each other. We do not seek fame to conquer the world; rather, we wish to astonish the world with our ugliness!"
The Fairy of Mist and Haze had a crush on the Idiot, which, in the eyes of the world, was a twisted and inappropriate love.
However, in matters of love between men and women, who sets boundaries based on age?
The Idiot knew of the Fairy of Mist and Haze's infatuation with him, but in his heart, he had never forgotten Long Yun; she was the goddess in his mind.
"I must win her over!" He secretly shared his thoughts with Zhang San and Li Si.
But the Fairy of Mist and Haze kept a close watch on him, never allowing him to leave the island even for a moment. So many years had passed; was Long Yun still in that remote corner? Moreover, as men grow up to marry and women to wed, had she gotten married?
Every time he thought of his goddess, the Idiot's heart was filled with immense melancholy and longing.
One day, coincidentally, the Fairy of Mist and Haze received an invitation from a friend to go out for fun and wouldn’t return for half a month. The Idiot was overjoyed and decided to take this rare opportunity to have Zhang San and Li Si accompany him to Jiangnan Province to search for Long Yun.
He stole the Moonlight Sword from the Fairy of Mist and Haze and, under the cover of night, flew away from the island on his sword.
Why choose the night?
Imagine if it were broad daylight, and Idiot was flying in the air with two people on a long sword. Wouldn't it shock everyone on the ground to the point that their eyes would pop out?
People might think they encountered a monster in broad daylight.
By then, the news would surely reach the ears of the Fairy of Mist and Haze. If she got angry, her methods of punishment—well, Idiot didn't dare to think further...
Only by choosing to fly at night could they avoid being discovered.
When the three arrived in Jiangnan Province, they learned that Master Qin had already moved to the Provincial Capital, and Long Yun had changed her name to Qin Yun. She had also become the Deputy Director of the Procuratorate in Jiangnan Province.
Finding Qin Yun was very convenient; all they needed to do was buy a local newspaper to see her photo.
Qin Yun was no longer the young Long Yun. Looking at her picture in the newspaper, she was even more beautiful and radiant.
What excited Idiot even more was that he found out Qin Yun had not yet married.
Why hadn't Qin Yun married yet? Idiot's mind raced with possibilities. He thought that perhaps his junior sister was still thinking about her brother Bai from back then; aside from Brother Bai, she probably didn't want to think about any other man.
