"Huh..." Elder Xu prepared himself mentally for half a day. When the sky gradually brightened and the frost on the ground evaporated, he mustered up the courage to walk towards the inner room, pretending to be calm and pushed the door open. The door was gently pushed open, and there was some silence inside. Xu Ping's gaze moved away from the wall opposite her and fell on the cushion on the ground. With her keen senses, she could detect that the position of the cushion was a little shifted compared to when she saw it yesterday, but this small detail only flashed through her mind and did not make her feel surprised. Next to the futon was the bed. The quilt was a little messy and rolled up into a ball, as were the sheets. Xu Ping couldn't help but smile slightly. This child, he had forgotten to pay attention to her over the years and rarely entered this room. How come she still slept so badly like when she was a child? Although she looks like a grown-up girl with her own dignity in the eyes of her fellow students, she is essentially still the child who would pull her skirt and cry. She shifted her gaze to the other side, where a table and chairs were placed. On the table stood a small copper animal-head incense burner, from which a wisp of smoke was rising, emitting a light and elegant fragrance that enveloped the entire room. There was a sound of water coming from behind the screen, and the shadowy figure paused: "Is it Master?" Xu Ping was stunned. Is Feiluan taking a bath? Yes, the fire-granting ceremony will begin soon, and we should burn incense and take a bath.
But what surprised her was that after what happened last night, her apprentice was still able to continue doing his own things in such an orderly and calm manner, and had prepared everything that needed to be prepared. Xu Ping felt a little ashamed. Just now he thought Fei Luan was the same child as before, but now he found that she was not as calm as this child... It seemed that his disciple had really grown up. "Well, Feiluan..." Xu Ping walked over, hesitated for a moment, and asked with a slightly red face: "Jun...Where is Liu Yuanren?" Wei Feiluan's voice was a little hoarse than usual, and he whispered respectfully, "Master, after you left, he hurriedly followed you." Xu Ping was stunned, and his heart tightened: "You haven't come back yet?" Wei Feiluan pressed his body against the wall of the tub, looked at the water with a wandering gaze, and replied, "Yes." Xu Ping said anxiously: "Why are you so reckless! Didn't you stop him? This is inside the Lihuo Sect. His cultivation is now only one tenth of what it was, and he is seriously injured. If he is discovered by Junior Sister or other elders, the consequences will be disastrous! I, I, I..." Elder Xu was so anxious that he said "I don't know what to do" three times. You can imagine how anxious he was. Wei Feiluan said: "I tried to persuade him, but he said he couldn't let it go and had to go after her..." When Xu Ping heard this, his eyes became moist. He turned around and rushed out the door, turning into a rainbow light again. There was only silence in the room. a long time. "Wow..." Liu Yuan silently emerged from the water, looked at the nervous Wei Feiluan, and both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, Liu Yuan wasn't mainly afraid. Wei Feiluan said with a straight face, "It's all your fault. Master almost found out. If I had been expelled from the sect, you would have ended up with your head and body in the same place." Liu Yuan said seriously, "You think too much. If something really happened, it's very likely that your master was disheartened and killed you and me, two desperate couples, and then he took my head and committed suicide." He added: "Don't ask me how I know." "Who wants to be your lover!" Wei Feiluan gently pushed him, then pursed her lips and said seriously, "If you lie to your master about worrying about her, she will be sad."
Liu Yuan sighed and said, "I will go to your master to apologize later... Isn't this a temporary solution? I can't talk to you properly now if she doesn't lose her sense of propriety because of worrying about me." Wei Feiluan felt a little sour in his heart. This bastard had his master completely under his control. His master's reaction was exactly as he had calculated, without any discrepancy. To put it another way, Liu Yuan's understanding of Xu Ping might even be more thorough than hers. She urged, "Get out! I still need to take a shower. I haven't washed myself clean because of the mess you made just now. How can I participate in the Fire Ceremony like this?" Liu Yuan was speechless and said: "You are all mine. This is the greatest blasphemy to the entire Lihuo Sect. Why are you being so particular about it now..." Wei Feiluan's cheeks flushed, but she said with a straight face: "If you continue to waste time, what if a junior sister comes to find me?" Liu Yuan said without hesitation: "That's just in time, we can take a shower together." Wei Feiluan: "...you bastard!" Liu Yuan, the scumbag, was kicked out of the bathtub by his new lover. He felt that he was in the wrong and wanted to kiss her again with a shameless face, but Wei Feiluan was still in a bad mood and rejected him with a cold face. He had no choice but to get dressed in disappointment, use Jingyueyu to disguise himself, and went out to look for Xu Ping. The Fire-Giving Ceremony has an opening ceremony, and the official competition will start tomorrow, so there is no rush now. Liu Yuan sighed as he walked on the road: "Why was she so timid when we just met, but she became bolder once we became friends? She's just a Foundation Establishment Stage girl, but she dared to reject me. Is this what a woman is like?" The relationship between the two is quite strange. It can be said that they get on the bus first and then buy the ticket. This does not exist in their past experience, but in terms of their relationship, there is a sense of freshness as if they have just started. A master openly repaired the plank road, while the apprentice secretly crossed the Chencang Pass. Liu Yuan really wanted to see what the apprentice who had already run away would do in front of his master in the days ahead... - Wei Feiluan stroked her chest, her heart still pounding. She had just taken advantage of her anger and had the courage to drive Liu Yuan out. If it were a man with the same cultivation level, it would basically be impossible for him to go along with it in this world where strength is respected. She reached out and climbed up into the bathtub with some difficulty. When her eyes fell on the screen, she realized that her underwear was gone. Wei Feiluan was stunned for a moment, feeling both amused and angry. He frowned and worried. There was still the Fire-Giving Ceremony to be held later... Chapter 315 Car Overturn Liu Yuan first hid for a short while before revealing himself in the mountains behind Lihuo Gate. Xu Ping's spiritual sense immediately sensed his breath, and his heart relaxed. He immediately turned into a rainbow light and landed in front of him. He wanted to hug him, but then he remembered what he had said, and his steps suddenly stopped. While she was hesitating, she was actually expecting Liu Yuan to hug her as tightly as before, so that she wouldn't have to make any more choices and could throw herself into her lover's arms with peace of mind, but this time she was going to be disappointed. Liu Yuan first looked at her, removed his disguise, took a step forward like her, stretched out his hand and showed an expression of surprise and relief, but then as if he thought of something, his expression dimmed for a moment, and he took his hand back. Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Elder Xu..., since you are okay, I am relieved. I am sorry for offending you before. Such things will not happen again in the future. When I finish what I want to do in Lihuomen, I will leave and will not disturb you again." What did he call me?! He, he actually called me Elder Xu! Xu Ping felt dizzy, and a mixture of grievance and anger rose in her heart, as well as a deeper fear. How could he do this? ! Liu Yuan increased his strength and said sadly, "I thought about it for a long time tonight. I'm afraid... I'm too self-righteous. I only want you to be my private property. I want a complete Xu Ping. I think I'm too greedy. Fei Luan is right. You have lived in the Lihuo Sect since you were a child. Your feelings for the sect are no less than your feelings for me. It's wrong for me to force you to make a choice. When you ran away yesterday, I was wondering if I was wrong. You certainly wanted to break away from the shackles of the sect and have a simple and normal love, but the responsibilities of the sect might be equally important to you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have to hide your identity at that time, and you wouldn’t have disappeared later…”
No! No! I just, just... Xu Ping screamed in her heart, and was so panicked that she almost wanted to stamp her feet. The fear of losing something was about to overwhelm her, but she could not face her own heart, could not say it out loud, and her face turned red. Liu Yuan had basically opened up her defenses last night, but now he wanted to retreat and make her face him actively. He prepared for the next dose of strong medicine, raised his head and smiled bitterly: "I thought I could convince you before, because I always felt that the depth of our feelings could transcend everything... Now I think I was too naive." Although the stance of this sentence seems quite confusing and full of chicken soup, it hits the mark exactly in the heart of Xu Ping who is striving hard to pursue love! What she wanted, what she pursued, and why she concealed her identity in search of it, wasn't it this deep love? Now the other party could come to her regardless of everything, but she refused instead. “It turns out that I gave up on myself…” Xu Ping muttered softly to himself. "What?" Liu Yuan was stunned and looked at her in surprise. He saw that her originally hesitant action suddenly became firm. She looked at him, pursed her lips as if she had made up her mind, and went up to hold his hand. "I... I like you. What you said yesterday was right. I can't bear to see you leave. I can't let you go. I'm just... afraid that you think I'm shameless. I'm an elder of the Lihuo Sect, but I violated the sect's rules and can't extricate myself. I can't get over this." Xu Ping whispered, trying her best to express her inner thoughts, and held his hand tightly as if she was afraid that he would leave. But she only dared to hold his hand, and her face turned red just from holding his hand. The master is much more shy than the apprentice... Of course, it may also be because she is now using the identity of Xu Ping, so she naturally feels ashamed, which aggravates the feeling of shyness. Liu Yuan naturally 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 forced hug, this hug was full of tenderness. He said softly, "How could that be? I have always felt that the rules of the Lihuo Sect are simply inhumane. Do you really think that those disciples who were expelled from the sect were wrong? Among those so-called promiscuous people you killed, I am afraid that most of them are wronged souls. The current trend of the Lihuo Sect is going further and further astray. It is already commendable that you dare to pursue what you want. How could I look down on you?" Liu Yuan lowered his voice and whispered in Xu Ping's ear: "In fact, I like you a lot." Xu Ping's ears suddenly turned red, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Woo... you only know how to bully people and be promiscuous." Liu Yuan didn't need to look up to know that the progress bar above her head must have been locked. This Lihuo Sect elder was completely taken over. He laughed and said, "It would be fine if I were promiscuous, but unfortunately I am loyal to everyone." "That sounds nice." Xu Ping said with some resentment: "I haven't settled accounts with your lovers yet! And what on earth are you doing in Lihuomen? Where have you been for the past half month... I don't even know." Liu Yuan held her in his arms. Xu Ping leaned her head against his shoulder lovingly and listened to him say, "Let me tell you slowly." Xu Ping gradually calmed down in his voice and felt incomparable satisfaction in her heart. She leaned against him and took a deep breath, but was suddenly stunned. She sniffed the scent on his body again, a very elegant fragrance. A bit familiar... Xu Ping was a little stunned. This smell was not only familiar, but also felt very fresh. He had smelled it not long ago. In Wei Feiluan's room, the small copper animal-head incense burner on the table emitted the same smell. So the question is, Wei Feiluan lit the incense burner only after Liu Yuan left, so where did the smell of the incense burner on Liu Yuan come from now? "...The situation in Hualing River is basically like this. I can't reveal where I have been for the past half month, but Lingyao has been with me all the time. He is safe and sound at the moment and will be able to return to Yuxu Dao Sect soon. I came to Lihuo Sect to try to see if it is possible to find phoenix blood in the forbidden area, come..." "Wait." Xu Ping suddenly interrupted, his tone a little stiff.
"?" Liu Yuan was stunned. This time he was not pretending. He lowered his head and looked at Xu Ping's dark hair. He was surprised to find that the progress bar above Elder Xu's head was not locked. It was still at full value, which made him feel a little uneasy. "What's wrong?" Liu Yuan said as calmly as possible. "I think you need to explain...what is this?" Xu Ping stretched out her delicate hand and gently picked up a strand of hair from Liu Yuan's clothes... A long, straight, black, shiny hair. If it were in the past, Liu Yuan could still say it was his own hair, because his hair is now long enough to pass it off as his own, but it’s not possible now... He has white hair now! He only had one word to say about this. Grass! Chapter 316 The Four Laws of Tolerance Xu Ping gently placed the long hair in her palm. The contrast between her fair and tender skin and the dark hair made the latter particularly eye-catching. She raised her head with a very gentle look, looked at Liu Yuan, and said: "Jun Xuan, I think you should know that after my cultivation, my body will basically remain unchanged except for the self-circulation of spiritual energy, blood and essence. No matter how many hundreds or thousands of years pass, as long as nothing unexpected happens, I will always be like this. In other words, it is impossible for me to lose a single hair, right?" "..." Liu Yuan nodded with difficulty, his face very stiff. He knew where this hair came from... Last night, when he was discussing with Wei Feiluan how he kissed her master, he had already taken off his clothes and put them aside. Although he and Wei Feiluan washed themselves clean afterwards, he neglected the hair that was originally stuck on his clothes! If it were any other time, such a low-level mistake would definitely not have happened, but from Xu Ping's return last night to the series of events that followed, time was too tight. Moreover, Liu Yuan was in high spirits and his mentality was floating, so he inevitably got a little carried away, and even forgot to check the clothes carefully again. And the most difficult thing to explain now is that this hair did not simply appear from the outer garment, but was slowly pulled out from the gap between the inner garment and the outer garment collar... What the hell! Most of my hair is in there, how do you explain it?! Did your apprentice's hair fall down and accidentally land on me, and then get caught in the gap of my clothes? Only a ghost would believe this! Liu Yuan was sweating profusely and tried to delay time by saying, "I, I can explain..." Xu Ping hummed, lowered his head slightly and said softly: "You talk, I will listen carefully." "Gulp..." Liu Yuan swallowed his saliva and looked at Xu Ping's beautiful face which was half covered by her long hair and fell into the shadow. He felt his scalp tingling and regretted it in his heart. This scene, this momentum... He had a premonition that if he couldn't explain it clearly today, he might really have to become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks with Wei Feiluan tomorrow. The hatchet and the good boat were right within reach. He is so arrogant! How could he forget that the person in front of him was a genuine powerful person, not only Xu Shibing, but also Xu Ping. Xu Shibing is a knight without any background who fights chivalrously with him in the Jidonghai. He has a kind personality and is heroic, but Xu Ping is from the Lihuo Sect... What is the concept of the Lihuo Sect? It is the only sect among the famous sects that has been cleansed from a cult.
But now many people have forgotten that, tracing back thousands of years, the status of the Lihuo Sect in ancient times was comparable to that of Luo Shengtian today. But they gradually died out in the long river of time, and finally the small group of people who remained chose to turn over a new leaf, clean up their ways, repackage themselves, and become the Lihuo Sect we have today. Even to this day, the way the Lihuo Sect treats its enemies is still cruel and unrighteous. When encountering people from evil sects like the Jile Sect who use any means necessary to obtain essence from their bodies and have harmed countless people, they will be directly tied to the stake and burned to death. Even worse, they will be subjected to the punishment of burning with fire. This can be said to be a justice that is more evil than evil. "Red-robed Fire Refiner" Xu Ping, her name is not boastful like those ordinary righteous people, on the contrary, it is the result of beautification - she has killed tens of millions of souls in her life, the fire in her palms burned mountains and boiled seas, and her red clothes were stained with blood, so her initial nickname was "Blood-robed Fire Refiner".
