Heaven’s Shadow

Chapter 91 - Devastation

The night was dark and the mountain breeze was blowing. Although it was a bit cool, somehow it was no longer gloomy as before, but it had a little warmth. Perhaps people are like this, as long as there is company, they will always feel better.

Loneliness is the deepest fear in the heart.

So after being silent for a while, Yi Xin finally spoke to Lu Chen, talking about what happened these days: After returning to Kunwu City from the land of confusion, Yi Xin was anxious because she secretly left home. Of course, the family members were overjoyed. Although they scolded and cursed a few times, they were still glad that nothing major happened. However, there were three people when they went there, but only one person was left when they came back, and those two were genuine Kunlun disciples. Of course, it is impossible to simply expose this matter.

Soon, someone from the Kunlun faction came down to inquire about this matter. Yi Xin told the truth about what happened in Heijia* Mountain. At first, everyone sighed with emotion and didn't think too much about it. Even He Yi, He Gang's famous brother of Kunlun, came over and left silently in the end, not embarrassing Yi Xin.

No one thought that a little girl like Yi Xin, who didn't even have a formal entry into the Kunlun School, would harm the minds or abilities of those two.

The days that followed were quiet for a while, and soon it was time for the Kunlun Sect Immortal Appreciation Conference. At this time, a message from the Golden Core cultivator who had fallen in love with Yi Xin was uploaded from Kunlun Mountain, to the effect that the Daoist master named Dongfang Tao was injured a little more seriously than expected, and he still had to close the gate and it had been closed for a period of time, and it was still unknown when it will be opened. But Yi Xin has come of age, if she didn't go up to the mountain to learn art from a teacher, she was afraid it would be delayed.

Therefore, according to Dongfang Tao's arrangement, Yi's family sent Yi Xin to Kunlun, and went all the way to worship the sect. Finally, under Dongfang Tao's face, they arranged her to become a formal disciple in Hundred Herb Hall.

Speaking of official disciples, their status is much higher than that of handyman disciples. They are people who can get cultivation resources without working. Of course, the premise of getting this treatment is that the talent and background are strong enough. In short, until now, Yi Xin has been living a good life, full of hope for the future, peacefully and happily living in the Kunlun Mountain and doing cultivation.

But a month later, the situation changed suddenly, and He Gang, who was part of the trio that day, unexpectedly came back. It was a happy event to escape by chance, but according to him, he was surrounded by a group of terrifying black jackals and was gnawed wildly. Later, he accidentally fell off the cliff and landed in a pool of water below, so he escaped a disaster.

But despite this, He Gang still suffered great violence. Not to mention his handsome face was completely ruined, his body was also severely injured. He had gone through a big loss of his vital energy and had many serious injuries on his body. He was found at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. At that time, he was already dying, and he didn't know how he came back along the way.

Fortunately, he has an elder brother He Yi who has great powers and loved him. After discovering the incident, he immediately tried his best and exhausted many good medicines and Elixir, and finally saved him and recovered most of his morality.

But since then, she doesn't know if he was too stimulated in the land of confusion. He Gang seems to suddenly seem like a different person, the whole person's temperament was unusually radical, often arguing with people provocatively. Encountering misfortune and He Yi's face probably made him three points. Then, He Gang discovered Yi Xin who was also on Kunlun Mountain…

※※※

It's hard to imagine what He Gang was thinking when he saw Yi Xin, but Yi Xin herself was very pleasantly surprised at first. Although she was a little scared seeing He Gang's scary face, she was always happy that he survived.

But He Gang's reaction was beyond Yi Xin's expectation. After seeing Yi Xin, he was stunned for a while and then backed away, but soon rushed over like a roar, grabbed Yi Xin's and asked her to become a couple, and then began to move his hands and feet.

Yi Xin was immediately frightened, and it was needless to say that she tried her best to resist. After she finally escaped, she soon heard He Gang spreading rumors in the Kunlun faction, saying that when they went south to the land of confusion, the two of them had been in love with each other for a lifetime. It was precisely because of his deep love for Yi Xin that he encountered a group of terrible black jackals in Heijia Mountain that day. He Gang desperately led all the jackals away, allowing Yi Xin to escape alone, and he was almost doomed.

But now, Yi Xin saw that his morality was damaged, especially his face, so she turned her face and refused to recognize him!

Yi Xin was dumbfounded when she heard these words. And things took a turn for the worse, especially when He Gang's elder brother, He Yi, felt sorry for his younger brother and publicly said a few words about Yi Xin's ungratefulness on a certain occasion. Even though Yi Xin tried her best to argue that the situation was not the case, not many people openly expressed sympathy for her.

At the same time, He Gang became even more entangled with her, harassing her every three days, insisting that she and him become a couple. Today in the daytime in the Stone Pan Valley forest side of the scene that Lu Chen saw, was the scene of the past days that was repeatedly staged.

Hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood, and didn't speak for a while.

There was silence inside and outside the mountain pavilion at the moment, only the slight sound of wind could be heard. Yi Xin quietly raised her head and glanced at Lu Chen, only to find that he was sitting across the table looking at her with a pair of bright eyes, which were a little strange.

"Brother Lu, why are you, why are you looking at me like that?" For some reason, Yi Xin suddenly got a little guilty, so she asked carefully.

Lu Chen looked at her, thought about it for a while and asked, "Before I met you, there was really nothing between you and He Gang?"

"No, there really was nothing!" Yi Xin stood up all of a sudden, looking anxious, and said loudly, "Brother Lu, I swear to God, there are no feelings and relationship between me and Senior Brother He. Back then, I just treated him as an elder brother, I followed him and Master Han to learn more."

Lu Chen nodded, gestured to her to calm down, and then pondered for a moment, and said: "This matter is not a big deal, let alone the Nascent Soul Daoist, even the Golden Core cultivators in the door may not bother to pay attention to it. Well, say Don’t you have a backer? Ask your Master Dongfang Tao to come out and say something. Although He Yi has a bright future, as far as I know, Dongfang Tao is a veteran Golden Core cultivator, and he has achieved Golden Core for at least decades. Now, if this qualification is displayed, many people will give him a face."

Yi Xin wept mournfully, with a look of grievance, and said: "Master Dongfang he ...... his injuries are not light, in the day after arranging for me to join the mountain, and then he went to retreat again. Only to say that when he will come out he will perform the rituals of joining the mountain, before this he told me to join the Hundred Herbs Hall to practice some basic techniques. I, I really have no choice..."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said to himself in a low voice: "This old man is a good shopkeeper, why does he feel quite similar to that dead bald man?"
