Oh my!
There was already a misunderstanding between the two that hadn't been clarified, and now they were alone together. Wouldn't that be awkward?
As she thought about it, Ouyang Zixin felt even more frustrated. When did she start acting like this in front of Yun Tianmo?
Back then, when she was with Rong Yi, Ouyang Zixin avoided Yun Tianmo, who was like an iceberg, but she never lost her composure like she did now.
The two walked one after the other, not at all like they were here for training; it felt more like they were out for a spring outing at Lingchi Peak.
"Yun Tianmo." Ouyang Zixin gritted her teeth. This couldn't go on. He was already as cold as an iceberg on a normal day, and if the atmosphere continued to be so tense, the first one to go crazy would probably be Ouyang Zixin herself.
The misunderstanding from last night had to be cleared up!
"What is it?" Although Yun Tianmo had decided to give Ouyang Zixin the cold shoulder, he didn't know why the tense atmosphere made him feel uncomfortable as well.
Hearing Ouyang Zixin call him at that moment, he simply stopped and turned back to look at her leisurely.
"Last night... what happened last night was a misunderstanding. Don't take it to heart." Many people in the Celestial Empire liked to engage in one-night stands, but Ouyang Zixin was not one of them. Moreover, she was just a girl now; explaining it was difficult for her to articulate at this moment.
She couldn't just say that she thought he was going to warm her up last night. Could she admit that she had misunderstood due to being clouded by confusion?
No way. Ouyang Zixin quickly shook her head, her lips opening and closing without being able to say a word.
"I understand." Seeing Ouyang Zixin's expression change rapidly, Yun Tianmo felt surprised. This girl's expressions were indeed quite rich.
Huh?
"Do you understand? You say you understand? Just like that?" Ouyang Zixin thought Yun Tianmo would be difficult to deal with, and that ordinary excuses wouldn't suffice. She didn't expect him to be so easygoing.
"What else could it be?" Yun Tianmo sighed inwardly. Did she really think he was that hard to get along with?
"Heh, there's nothing else. As long as you know," Ouyang Zixin chuckled awkwardly and decided to drop the matter.
After walking for a while, they came across a steep uphill path. It seemed the journey ahead wouldn't be so easy anymore.
The slope looked to be over 45 degrees, and the surface was very uneven. Alongside the path were thorny plants that could prick anyone who got too close. This slope was long; at least from Ouyang Zixin's perspective, she couldn't see the end.
Looking at the blazing sun, Ouyang Zixin silently lamented. Traveling in the middle of the day on such a difficult path would surely be a struggle.
"One hour," Yun Tianmo said before stopping in his tracks. He casually found a shaded spot under a tree and sat down, closing his eyes and ignoring Ouyang Zixin.
The trees at the bottom of the slope weren't dense; even though there was shade, patches of sunlight still filtered through. If she calculated the time, it would probably get even hotter soon.
Ouyang Zixin watched as Yun Tianmo seemed to start meditating and thought he was deliberately making her suffer under the scorching sun while he rested. Otherwise, with his cultivation level, how could he possibly care about this little heat and distance?
"I didn't expect this ice mountain to be quite considerate," Ouyang Zixin chuckled softly to herself. Resting for an hour would also give her time to wait for Nameless and the others.
As time passed, just as Ouyang Zixin had anticipated, even sitting in the shade made one feel stiflingly hot.
She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and the feeling of dryness in her mouth became increasingly apparent.
"That ice mountain really is enviable. Doesn't he feel hot at all?" Ouyang Zixin observed Yun Tianmo with curious eyes.
This man had handsome features, with sword-like brows extending into his hairline. Although his expression was cold, it did not detract from his striking appearance. His deep-set features resembled those of foreigners from her past life, with very clear lines. Coupled with his regal aura, he resembled a noble from British or French royalty.
Ouyang Zixin was almost entranced, and it wasn't until she heard footsteps that she snapped back to reality.
"Miss, I have returned," Liu Ying and Liu Lu announced.
Ouyang Zixin let out a sigh of relief; thank goodness!
The thought of having been so captivated by a man made her blush, and she felt uncomfortable.
— Master, the sun is scorching, and this shade is useless. Why don't you summon Azure Wood for cover?
Nameless noticed that Ouyang Zixin's face was flushed from the sun and reminded her that Azure Wood could be summoned.
Ouyang Zixin was already embarrassed by her earlier distraction, and Nameless's reminder made her quickly cover her face with her hands, stammering that she hadn't thought of it.
"Um, Nameless, summon two Azure Woods, please. Liu Ying and Liu Lu have traveled a long way; they should rest." Forcing herself to calm down, Ouyang Zixin instructed. Only she knew what had just happened; she couldn't let Nameless or the others speculate about it.
"Miss, I'm fine," Liu Ying and Liu Lu said, not even considering that being near Ouyang Zixin was a privilege they could hardly imagine.
Ouyang Zixin looked at the two and chuckled lightly. "It's not intentional; it was just convenient. Alright, stop fussing and rest quickly; we still have to travel later."
Liu Ying and Liu Lu thanked Ouyang Zixin and stopped declining. The sun today was indeed unbearable.
"Nameless, summon one more for him," Ouyang Zixin hesitated for a long time. Regardless of whether Yun Tianmo needed it or not, she decided to have Nameless summon another Azure Wood for Yun Tianmo's shade.
Soon, everyone fell silent and stopped talking, with Ouyang Zixin entering a meditative state.
At that moment, not far away, Yun Tianmo slightly raised the corners of his mouth. A fleeting smile appeared mysteriously before vanishing just as quickly. Even Nameless did not notice this subtle change in him.
A whole hour quickly passed. Yun Tianmo was the first to rise. He glanced at the Azure Wood that provided him shade, as if just realizing it for the first time. He raised his hand and gently brushed over the translucent leaves of the Azure Wood, warmth filling his eyes.
Ouyang Zixin noticed when Yun Tianmo got up. She opened her eyes just in time to see him caressing the Azure Wood. The colorful leaves flickered, reflecting on Yun Tianmo's face, causing her to momentarily lose her focus.
"Um, are we setting off now?" Fortunately, having learned from the previous experience, Ouyang Zixin quickly regained her composure and asked dryly, not allowing Yun Tianmo's charm to distract her.
"Yes." Yun Tianmo withdrew his hand and walked down the slope first, waiting for them to catch up.
Ah, beauty can lead one astray...
Ouyang Zixin thought, I didn't expect you to be such a flirt!
With a bitter smile, Ouyang Zixin followed Liu Ying and Liu Lu, while the Azure Wood was naturally returned to Nameless.
