Chapter 44.1
Chapter 44.1
Taiwei Mountain, Wujian Peak.
Facing the bright moonlight, a graceful figure in white clothes danced with a sword, her clothes fluttering.
Her every step forward was like walking on lotuses, her body was as light as a swallow, but when she retreated, her figure was like lightning, and her moves were full of fierceness.
However, her posture is extremely beautiful, as graceful as a butterfly, as light as smoke, like an elf under the moonlight, and like a fairy in a painting.
When jumping up, it seems that she is about to rise into the heavens and go straight to the bright moon in the sky.
Not long after, after dancing a set of sword techniques, the figure was about to swing the sword again, but she heard a cold voice speak.
“Junior Sister, your heart is disturbed.”
The graceful figure put the sword back into its sheath, bowed to the speaker, and said, “Senior Sister.”
These two are disciples of the third branch, Han Biyun and Lu Qingyuan.
Han Biyun looked at Lu Qingyuan with a calm expression, sighed, and said, “Junior sister, you should have heard about the second branch, right?”Lu Qingyuan nodded silently.
“Then do you have anything you want to say?”
Lu Qingyuan was silent for a while, then shook her head.
But Han Biyun laughed at her response.
“Junior Sister, everyone in the sect knows that you are cold-tempered and reject people thousands of miles away, and they don’t know your thoughts. But in fact, it’s easy to guess. If I’m not wrong, you actually want to be like the second branch and go down the mountain to find Senior Brother Feng?”
Although Feng Shao has left the sect, Han Biyun still habitually calls him “Senior Brother Feng” when mentioning him.
There was a blush on Lu Qingyuan’s face, but she said abruptly, “Junior Sister doesn’t have such an idea.”
Han Biyun looked at her for a while, until Lu Qingyuan couldn’t help turning her head away, then she sighed and said, “Junior Sister, why do you have to be so stubborn in front of Senior Sister? I know that because of that Ye Chen, you had some misunderstandings with Senior Brother Feng. But since Senior Brother Feng can protect the road for you to advance and consolidate to the Gold Core realm, it means he will no longer take those misunderstandings to heart.”
Ever since she learned that the person who snatched the Bifang Crane Flame that day was Ye Chen, Han Biyun no longer regarded him as her junior.
In her opinion, since Ye Chen was able to attack her, it proved that in Ye Chen’s heart, he did not regard herself as his senior sister at all.
That being the case, why should she care about him anymore?
So when addressing him, she no longer calls him junior or anything but calls him by name.
Lu Qingyuan pursed her lips after hearing those words and then said in a low voice, “Senior Sister, I…I think our third branch, including master, should really feel ashamed to Senior Brother Feng.”
But Han Biyun smiled and said, “You say this because you don’t understand Senior Brother Feng at all. Senior Brother Feng has always had a clear sense of right or wrong, distinctions and grievances, and he will not blame our third branch because of Ye Chen’s matter, let alone stop recognizing us as junior brothers and sisters because of it.”
Lu Qingyuan couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Sister, hasn’t Senior Brother Feng already left the sect? If that’s the case, how could…”
“You mean to say, since Senior Brother Feng has left the sect, he won’t need to recognize us as junior brothers and sisters anymore, right? Then I can only say that you are wrong.”
Han Biyun looked at the bright moon in the sky, and continued calmly, “It has been twenty-eight years since I have gone up the mountain, and I have known Senior Brother Feng for these twenty-eight years. In all these years, I have seen Senior Brother Feng get angry, but it was never once because he was dissatisfied with his junior brothers and junior sisters. In fact, he has actually always treated us as little brothers and little sisters, he has always used his broad mind to accommodate and tolerate us. Therefore, whether it is for him, or for us, this bond is constant.”
After saying that, Han Biyun took a deep breath and said, “The disciples of the second branch have already gone to Liyang City. If you go there now, you can still catch up with them.”
Lu Qingyuan couldn’t help being startled.
“Senior Sister…”
Han Biyun smiled, “I’m the eldest disciple under the master’s lineage, so I won’t go with you. As for you, I will tell master that you have just entered the Gold Core realm and need to travel down the mountain to broaden your horizons and seek an opportunity for further improvement. In this way, it would also make sense even to the sect master.”
Lu Qingyuan looked hesitant, and couldn’t help asking, “But Senior Sister, I angered Senior Brother Feng by covering up for Ye Chen some time ago. And Senior Brother Feng left the sect because of Ye Chen. I…I, I really don’t have the face to see Senior Brother Feng.”
“Then all the more reason to go and apologize to Senior Brother Feng, and you must apologize in front of Senior Brother Feng. If you have been refusing to take this step, then your path of cultivation may come to an end!”
Han Biyun said seriously.
“So even if it is for you yourself, you must go to him.”
Lu Qingyuan pondered for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, “Senior Sister is right, if I can’t get rid of this knot in my heart, I won’t be able to continue my path!”
She looked up at Han Biyun, cupped her hands, and said, “Then junior sister is going now!”
Han Biyun nodded.
“Be careful on the road! If you meet Senior Brother Feng, please say hello to Senior Brother Feng for me.”
“Yes!”
Lu Qingyuan no longer hesitated, drew her long sword, stepped on it, and flew away.
Han Biyun stood where she was, watching Lu Qingyuan’s fading figure, but her expression looked a little melancholic.
After a while, she suddenly laughed at herself, and murmured, “He’s gone, what are you thinking about?”
After that, she turned around and left, her figure alone, looking quite lonely.
Just like the Mount Taiwei today.
