Liu Ruqing's matter ended without a conclusion in the end, but I heard that she secretly sought out many people to exchange pointers, probably unwilling to give up, still wanting to find the person from that night.
After Xu Yao returned, Su Jian told him the whole story, and Xu Yao knew that this was Xu Liuliu's retaliation. He found a pretext and made her go into Repentance Cave to reflect on her actions.
"I refuse to accept this! It's just a small test that I didn't pass, is it necessary to lock me up in the Repentance Cave? I refuse!" Xu Liuliu shouted loudly in the cave, and Xu Yao transmitted his voice from a thousand miles away: "You know in your heart what you've done."
Xu Liuliu immediately thought of Liu Ruqing, but she still refused: "The snake is not poisonous, besides, can she humiliate me for no reason, and I can't retaliate?"
Xu Yao: "What are you comparing yourself to her?"
Upon hearing this, The person in the cave clearly paused. She gritted her teeth, and her eyes gradually turned red: "In my father's eyes, I am nothing compared to her."
Entering the inner gate together, Liu Ruqing's current spellcasting ability is already beyond reach. She is naturally gifted, understanding incantations and commands effortlessly, while Xu Liuliu has to ponder for a long time and practice many times. In the past, she secretly practiced more, striving not to fall too far behind. Every bit of progress she made, she would boast to Li Yao as if seeking recognition, hoping to receive a word of praise from him, even just a "not bad." But it never happened. Her father would only say, "You still have a long way to go compared to your senior sister Liu." Over time, Xu Liuliu became disheartened.
When Yan Shu arrived, this was the scene she witnessed.
The slender figure of a young girl sat on a stone pedestal, her eyes appearing vacant and listless, with traces of tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes.
"Xu Liuliu."
Upon hearing someone calling her name, Xu Liuliu immediately snapped out of her daze. When she saw that it was Yan Shu, her eyes instantly lit up: "Yan Shu!"
Before a stick of incense burned out, Xu Liuliu sent a message to Yan Shu from a thousand miles away: "In urgent need, I'm starving."
She was just trying it out, but she didn't expect Yan Shu to really come and bring her a lot of food. Xu Liuliu watched as he took things out one by one, laughing so much that she couldn't even open her eyes.
"Yan Shu, will you marry me in the future?" She blurted out, not even knowing why she said it herself.
Yan Shu paused, slowly raised his head with an expressionless face, staring at her. Xu Liuliu felt a bit flustered under his gaze and pretended to cough awkwardly, saying, "I was just kidding, don't take it seriously."
Yan Shu lowered his head, emptied his food box, stood up, and was about to leave. Xu Liuliu grabbed his clothes and said, "Can you chat with me?"
Yan Shu waved her hand away and lightly said, "Not funny at all."
For a long time, Xu Liuliu finally realized what he was saying.
"Stingy, can't even take a joke, poker face!"
After leaving Repentance Cave, Yan Shu's fists remained tightly clenched.
Over a decade ago, in a dilapidated temple in Chengyang City, a young beggar and a little girl huddled under a Buddha statue, shivering from the cold. The beggar gave the only sweet potato he had begged for to the little girl, who held it close, her eyes shining with gratitude.
"Little beggar, when my mother comes to pick me up, I'll ask them to take you with us, okay?"
"Why?"
"You will be my foster husband, and when I grow up, I will marry you."
After some thought, the little beggar nodded earnestly and said, "Okay."
Promises are alluring. Back then, her mother also abandoned everything for someone, but in the end, she didn't have a good ending, did she?
Her heart began to ache again. He suppressed the discomfort with his internal energy, turned back, and looked from afar at the position of Repentance Cave behind the mountain. He had to be faster. Xu Liuliu had been released from Repentance Cave seven days ago, and new disciples would be required to descend the mountain for trials. Yan Shu had left three days ago, and even the company of someone to chat with was gone from the Wu Yang of Noda.
Xu Yao is in seclusion, Xu Liuliu simply used puppetry, and then went down the mountain by herself.
