After Favorability Is Maxed

310 Accident

Liu Yuan hid for a short while before revealing himself at the back mountain of Mythical Flame Sect.

Xu Ping’s divine sense immediately detected his aura and felt relieved. She immediately turned into a ray of light and landed in front of him. She wanted to hug him, but then she remembered what he had said and stopped.

While she was hesitating, she was hoping that Liu Yuan would hug her as hard as before so that she would not have to choose anymore and could peacefully embrace her lover. But this time, she was going to be disappointed.

Liu Yuan first looked at her and removed his disguise. Like her, he took a step forward and stretched out his hand with a surprised and relieved expression. But then, as if he had thought of something, his expression dimmed for a moment and he retracted his hand.

!!

Xu Ping was stunned and heard him say, “Xu… Elder, I’m relieved that you’re fine. I’m sorry for offending you earlier. It won’t happen again. When I’m done with what I want to do in the Mythical Fire Sect, I’ll leave and won’t disturb you anymore.”

What did he just call me? He… He actually called me ‘Elder’!

Xu Ping felt dizzy, and a mixture of grievance, anger, and even deeper fear rose in her heart. How could he do this?

Liu Yuan increased his strength and said sadly, “I’ve thought about it for a long time this night. I’m afraid… I want a complete Xu Ping. I think I’m too greedy. Feiyan is right, you’ve been living in the Mythical Flame Sect since you were young and your feelings for the sect are no less than your feelings for me. It’s my fault for forcing you to make a choice.”

“When you ran away yesterday, I was wondering if I was wrong. You were eager to break away from the shackles of the sect and have a simple and normal love, but the duty of the sect may be just as important to you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had to hide your identity at that time, and then you wouldn’t have disappeared…”

No! No!

I just… just…

Xu Ping shouted in her heart. She was so flustered that she wanted to stomp her feet. The panic of losing something was about to drown her, but she could not face her heart. She could not say it out loud, and her face turned red.

Last night, Liu Yuan had basically opened up her heart’s defenses, but now he wanted to retreat in order to advance and make her take the initiative to face him.

He was ready to give her a strong dose of medicine. He raised his head and smiled bitterly. “I thought that I could convince you because I always felt that our relationship was so deep that it could surpass everything… Now that I think about it, I was too naive.”

Although the position of this sentence seemed quite chaotic and very ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’, it hit the heart of Xu Ping, who was trying hard to pursue love!

What she wanted, what she pursued, and the reason why she hid her identity to find it, wasn’t it exactly for this deep love?

Now, the other party could come to her at all costs, but she rejected him.

“It turns out that I gave up on myself…” Xu Ping muttered to herself.

“What?” Liu Yuan was stunned and looked at her in surprise. He saw that her originally hesitant actions had suddenly become firm. She looked at him, pursed her lips, and seemed to have made up her mind about something. She went up and held his hand.

“I… I do like you. What you said yesterday was right. I can’t bear to let you leave. I can’t let you go. I just… I’m afraid you’ll think that I’m shameless. I’m clearly an Elder of the Mythical Flame Sect but I broke the sect rules and I can’t free myself from it. I can’t get over this.” Xu Ping stammered and tried her best to express her inner thoughts, holding his hand tightly as if she was afraid that he would leave.

However, she only dared to hold his hand, and her face was already a little red.

The Master was much shyer than the disciple… Of course, it could also be that she was using Xu Ping’s identity now, so she had a natural sense of shame, which made her feel even shyer.

Naturally, Liu Yuan would not say what was in his heart. He reached out and held Xu Ping’s soft body in his arms, gently stroking her hair and back. Unlike yesterday’s somewhat forceful hug, this hug was full of tenderness.

“Why would I?” he asked softly. “I’ve always felt that the rules of the Mythical Flame Sect are simply an obliteration of human nature. Do you really think that the disciples who were expelled from the sect were wrong? I’m afraid that more than half of the so-called promiscuous people you’ve killed were vengeful souls. The current atmosphere of the Mythical Flame Sect is getting more and more skewed. It’s already praiseworthy that you dare to pursue what you want, how can I look down on you?”

Liu Yuan lowered his voice and whispered in Xu Ping’s ear, “Rathe… Actually, I quite like it when you’re like this.”

Xu Ping’s ears immediately turned red, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s. “You… You only know how to bully people and be promiscuous.”

Liu Yuan did not need to raise his head to know that the progress bar above her head was definitely locked. He had completely taken down the Mythical Flame Sect’s Elder. He chuckled and said, “It’s fine if I’m promiscuous, but it’s a pity that I’m devoted to everyone.”

“Nice words.” Xu Ping said with some resentment, “I haven’t settled the score with your bunch of lovers!” Also, what are you doing at the Mythical Flame Sect? Where have you been for the past half a month… I don’t even know.”

Liu Yuan held her in his arms. Xu Ping leaned her head on his shoulder longingly and heard him say, “Let me tell you slowly.”

Xu Ping gradually calmed down in his voice and felt an unparalleled satisfaction in her heart. She leaned on him and took a deep breath. Suddenly, she was stunned and sniffed his body again. It was a very elegant fragrance.

It was a little familiar…

Xu Ping was a little stunned. This smell was not only familiar but also very fresh. She had smelled it not long ago…

In Wei Feiyan’s room, the copper beast head incense burner on the table gave off the same smell.

The question was, Wei Feiyan only lit the incense after Liu Yuan left. Where did the smell of the incense come from?

“…That’s basically the situation at the Spirit Transforming River. I can’t reveal where I’ve been for the past half a month, but Ling Hua has been with me the whole time and is safe for now. We’ll be able to return to the Jade Mirage Sect soon. I’ve come to the Mythical Flame Sect to see if there’s any possibility of finding the Phoenix blood in the forbidden area. Come–”

“Wait,” Xu Ping suddenly interrupted, her tone somewhat stiff.

“?” Liu Yuan was stunned. This time, he was not pretending.

He lowered his head to look at Xu Ping’s black hair and was surprised to find that the progress bar above Elder Xu’s head was not locked. It was still full, but it made him feel a little uneasy.

“What’s wrong?” Liu Yuan tried his best to remain calm.

“I think you need to explain… What is this?” Xu Ping reached out her slender hand and gently picked up a strand of hair from Liu Yuan’s clothes.

It was a long, straight, and soft black hair.

If it was in the past, Liu Yuan could still say that it was his own hair because his hair length could be completely faked. But now, he couldn’t… He had white hair now!

He only had one word to say about this-

F*ck!
