The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 841 - 463_2
"Later, it was discovered that I possessed a rare Thunder Spirit Root physique. The Clearing Void Sect didn’t have the corresponding cultivation technique, so Tantai Yi took me to the Chaoyun Sect. I was quite fortunate; as soon as my master saw me, he accepted me as his closed-door disciple. Tantai then left with his junior sister, while I kept thinking of him. I knew that only by mastering Divine Skills could I possibly close the distance between us, so I practiced diligently."
Ning Xiaoxian bit her lip and remained silent. Hu Huoer’s mentality at that time was something she could fully understand. After all, wasn’t her own diligent cultivation aimed at bridging a gap, hoping that one day she could stand beside the man she loved?
"Ten years passed like that. I secluded myself in the deep mountains to practice, not seeing him even once more, yet Tantai’s image became increasingly vivid in my heart. It was then that I realized I could never drive him out from the depths of my heart. But he had a lover, who was also my savior. How could I have the face to forcibly take away her beloved?"
"A few more years passed. One day, my master suddenly told me that Tantai’s junior sister, his childhood companion, died on a mission. At that moment... that moment, I only felt two parts sadness for him, and the remaining eight parts were an insane joy that made me want to laugh out loud! I thought, heaven took pity on me, finally giving me a chance."
"However, when I saw Tantai again later, he had completely changed, indulging in alcohol daily and leading a dissolute life, no longer the spirited youth I had envisioned. He didn’t even remember my name when I told him. Yet, he was Tantai Yi, and no matter what he became, I still liked him."
"When he was handsome, it was great, and I liked him a lot; when he was down and out, seeing him made my heart ache. As long as I could be by his side, I felt happy no matter what." Hu Huoer’s face flushed, then gradually turned pale, "Unfortunately, I exhausted all means to get close to him, to express my feelings, but every effort was in vain. He never even looked at me directly. When he got tired of my pursuit, he dodged me everywhere, just like what you saw in Tea City."
She suddenly embraced Ning Xiaoxian, crying out, "From start to finish, he couldn’t let go of that deceased junior sister, and just wouldn’t like me! Sister Xian, I truly have no solution left. Please teach me what to do!"
Her heart had been weighed down for too long, and finally finding someone to confide in along the way, the more she cried, the more her heart ached. She lay on Ning Xiaoxian’s shoulder, weeping endlessly. Ning Xiaoxian felt the frightening strength with which she was being held. If it were Hulian Minmin in her place, her waist might have been broken. A dignified Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator who couldn’t even control her strength showed how chaotic Hu Huoer’s mind had become.
With her looks, cultivation, and sect, there were countless handsome men in the world wanting to climb her ladder, yet she chose the most elusive one. Alas, such a twisted fate, Ning Xiaoxian sighed lightly like the Old Monk, feeling a bit bitter herself. She couldn’t help but gently stroke the wavy hair of the person in her arms as a comfort.
Right at that moment, Ning Xiaoxian felt a sudden inspiration. With a wave of her hand, the carriage window opened, and the wind and snow outside howled in. Accompanying the wind and snow was Tantai Yi’s deep, dark gaze.
This man had been watching all along.
To keep warm, the window of the bronze cart was made small, but it was enough for Tantai to clearly see inside. He saw Hu Huoer leaning on her friend’s shoulder, saw her heartbroken expression, saw the crystalline tears rolling down her smooth cheeks, saw Ning Xiaoxian gently stroking her hair in comfort, and saw her slight trembling.
In that instant, his gaze was fixed as if drawn by a magnet. Ning Xiaoxian felt she glimpsed some inexplicable and profound emotions from his eyes, yet the next second, he turned away, continuing to stare expressionlessly ahead, his tall, straight figure wrapped in the wind and snow, revealing a hint of solitude. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
This is a very reserved and determined man. Ning Xiaoxian thought as she let the curtain fall.
Hu Huoer remained buried in her sorrow, silently weeping for a long time before lifting her head, surprisingly unaware that the window had been opened.
"Sister Xian, actually before setting off to the Northwest, I already made up my mind." Hu Huoer gently took Ning Xiaoxian’s hand, "If by the end of this journey he remains indifferent to me, I... I will let go of him and no longer, no longer entangle myself with him."
She took a deep, deep breath, let it out slowly bit by bit, and finally smiled, saying, "I’m tired."
Watching a breathtaking beauty cry while smiling and saying, "I’m tired," Ning Xiaoxian found herself softening again. She rolled her eyes slightly, pulled a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe Hu Huoer’s tears, and whispered, "Don’t rush to make a decision yet. I want to ask you a few things."
"First, are you sure he has no other affections in his heart?"
Hu Huoer didn’t know what Ning Xiaoxian meant, but she still answered resolutely, "None. Absolutely not! Over the years, there have been other women who expressed interest in him, but he has rejected them all."
"Good. Then second, are you sure he has no feelings for you?"
Hu Huoer smiled bitterly, "I’m not sure. He never says anything to me, but when he stands beside me, I always feel, I always feel that sometimes he looks at me, but when I turn my head, he’d be staring somewhere else."
If a man is willing to meet your gaze head-on, then he truly has no place for you in his heart, Ning Xiaoxian thought, then asked, "I once told you to keep your distance from him, did you try that?"
