Jinxi sobbed pitifully, her tears glistening in the moonlight.
"Sect Master, I've been at the academy for a year, and no one has ever played with me..."
"I can only play with Warcraft!"
He choked back tears, his hands gripping the hem of Shuangyue's snow-white skirt tightly.
"I miss my mother!"
"Sect Master~~"
When will you send me back to the Azure Palace?
"The peach blossoms in Biluo Palace are in full bloom, and the peach blossom wine that my mother and father brewed is so delicious that I wake up in my dreams craving it..."
Shuangyue's heart skipped a beat, and her fingertips unconsciously tightened around the bamboo basket.
She looked down at the boy clinging to her leg; his usually mischievous eyes were now filled with grievance.
She tried to kick it away, but her legs were held tightly by those warm hands, and she couldn't move.
Moonlight shone on Jinxi's messy golden hair.
Looking at his bright red nose.
She suppressed her surging emotions, but her toes seemed rooted to the spot.
Seeing this, Luo Ge stepped forward, gently raised her hand, and placed it on Jin Xi's shoulder, speaking in a gentle tone.
"Jin Xi, stop fooling around."
"If you cultivate diligently and reach the Nascent Soul stage soon, the sect leader will naturally send you home."
She bent down, brushing away the bits of grass from Jinxi's hair, her gaze gentle and tender.
“You still have Lingyao and us.”
The words have not yet fallen.
As expected, the demon beast Lingyao approached.
The fluffy head rubbed against Jinxi's knees, making low whimpering sounds.
Its mouth was still covered in grass clippings, its red eyes were wet, and it would occasionally nudge Jinxi's hand with its nose.
Frostmoon took a deep breath.
She looked down at Jin Xi, her tone as cold as ice:
"According to sect rules, those who have not yet formed their Nascent Soul are not allowed to leave the sect without permission."
"This is an ironclad rule, not to be taken lightly."
Jin Xi buried her face in Shuang Yue's skirt and cried even harder:
"But I miss my mother..."
"Sect Leader, you have a mother too, right? Do you miss her?"
The frosty moon seemed to have been struck by lightning.
Her bamboo basket fell to the ground, scattering star dew grass all over the ground.
Upon seeing this, Luo Ge hurriedly tidied up.
The fragrance of the herbs lingered, but it couldn't suppress the bitterness in Shuangyue's heart.
Shuangyue suddenly recalled the scene of losing her parents when she was a child.
Do not!
Can't think about it anymore.
Shuangyue gripped her dress tightly with both hands.
She told herself she couldn't think about it anymore.
She closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, her expression had returned to its usual coldness.
"Jin Xi, the path of cultivation is inherently lonely."
"Now that you have joined my school, you must abide by my rules."
Luo Ge gently patted Jin Xi's back and said softly:
"Tomorrow at dawn, I will teach you how to identify 'Star Dew Grass'!"
"Once you refine your first 'Heart-Cleansing Dew,' the sect leader might allow you to write a letter home."
She turned to Shuangyue, her eyes sparkling.
"Sect Master, rules are rigid, but people are flexible."
A night breeze rustled through the grass.
The distant chirping of nightingales drifted over, and the fireflies of Drunken Evening Forest gathered in a halo of light.
Frosty Moon remained silent for a long time.
"If you can cultivate the Soul-Nourishing Grass and help me refine the Soul-Nourishing Pill, I will personally send you back to the Azure Palace."
Jinxi stopped crying and smiled, finally letting go of Shuangyue's leg and quickly standing up.
"The sect leader is the best!"
Ouch!
Lingyao barked happily, its tail wagging like a windmill.
Next breath...
Jinxi picked Shuangyue up by the waist and spun her around with a smile.
Frosty Moon's snow-white dress fluttered in the wind, making her look incredibly beautiful and charming.
A surge of heat shot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and Shuangyue felt as if she had been thrown into a furnace.
She had been offended by Jin Xi like this more than once!
At this moment.
Her heart was racing, and her palms were sweating.
Her fair cheeks were burning hot.
She tried to break free, but the boy's arms were as tight as iron hoops, and his warm breath made her tremble all over.
This sudden intimacy threw her into disarray.
She suppressed her surging emotions, and a chill instantly emanated from her body, causing frost to form on the surrounding grass and leaves.
Luo Ge, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her face full of helplessness:
"Jin Xi, how can the sect leader just hold you like that?"
"Sect Master, please don't be angry. He was just unable to control his emotions and forgot the rules for a moment."
Lingyao also came over, her crimson eyes rubbing against Jinxi's boots with wetness.
"Jin Xi! How dare you!"
Shuangyue shouted sharply.
A flash of silver light appeared from her sleeve, and a chilling aura shot straight to his wrist.
Jin Xi let go in pain and staggered back a few steps.
"Sect Master...I..."
Shuangyue immediately steadied herself, straightened her clothes, her fingertips trembling slightly as she tried to appear calm.
"Those who cultivate immortality should abide by etiquette and law."
Her gaze was like a knife, sweeping over Jin Xi's lowered head.
"If you truly want to go home, then you should diligently cultivate your spiritual practice."
Jinxi looked up at Shuangyue's cold profile, her throat bobbing, but she didn't say anything.
Just now, Shuangyue said she would personally take him back to Biluo Palace.
In a moment of impulse, he wanted to hug the person, completely disregarding the rules.
Lingyao seemed to sense that something was wrong.
She cautiously nuzzled Jinxi's trouser leg with her head, her red eyes filled with worry.
Luo Ge sighed softly, walked over and patted Jin Xi on the shoulder:
"The sect leader is always strict with herself and hopes that you will be successful. Don't disappoint her."
Shuangyue bent down and picked up the bamboo basket on the ground. Her gaze fell on the star dew grass that shimmered with silver light, and the warmth in her heart lingered for a long time.
One breath... two breaths... three breaths.
She then turned her gaze away and looked at the night sky, where countless stars twinkled, but she could not see the brightest imperial star.
Her tone softened slightly:
"Don't let this happen again."
Jin Xi gazed at her graceful back, a smile playing on his lips, his heart pounding with excitement.
He knew it.
Shuangyue may appear cold, but she is actually very protective of her disciples. The chilling aura she just experienced looked frightening, but it didn't actually harm him.
"I will cultivate myself diligently."
"One day I will become powerful enough to protect the sect leader and everything here."
Jinxi shouted loudly at Shuangyue.
Luo Ge looked at the sparkle in his eyes and smiled with satisfaction:
"That's right."
"I'm leaving now. You have to get up early to practice your sword tomorrow."
Hey!
Lingyao also called out happily and skipped along behind the two.
The moonlight cast long shadows of the three people, symbolizing their intertwined bond.
Shuangyue, who was walking ahead, quietly clenched her fingers.
The spot where Jin Xi had touched her still seemed to retain his warmth, making her heart flutter again.
Luo Ge hurriedly caught up with her, her skirt swaying gently, carrying a faint fragrance of orchids.
She reached out and gently touched Shuangyue's arm, soothing her softly:
"Sect Master, Jin Xi is still a child, and her mind is so simple that she only wants to go home as soon as possible."
"Perhaps he just sees you as his mother!"
“Look, his words just now, ‘Protect the sect leader,’ were so sincere and heartfelt.”
“If you teach him properly, in time this little Qilin will surely bring glory to the sect.”
Frosty Moon paused slightly, glancing sideways at Falling Song.
My fingertips traced the edge of the bamboo basket as I asked curiously:
"Luo Ge, you seem to really like Jin Xi?"
Luo Ge nodded slightly.
"Of course I like kids."
"He's like a leaping mountain stream, playful yet vibrant!"
"She likes to weave flower wreaths with spirit herbs to amuse Lingyao, and she also gets up early to water the spirit herbs in the Drunken Evening Forest!"
"Even your frost flowers, Sect Master, can't freeze his warmth."
She paused, her gaze gentle and tender.
"He always manages to turn a deathly quiet alchemy room into a paradise. How interesting!"
The moon hangs low over the frosty sky, and the star dew grass in the bamboo basket glistens with silver light, its fragrance lingering around the nose.
At that moment, a surge of warmth welled up in her heart.
She tried to remain calm.
"Then you should teach him properly."
"Also... tell him not to bother me, I need to focus on refining the Soul Nourishing Pill."
"Let the Emperor return to the Wuji Sect as soon as possible!"
Luo Ge nodded, his expression joyful.
"Sect Master, rest assured."
"The spirit of the golden dawn is like a new bud breaking through the soil, all you need to do is loosen the frost."
She looked behind her and saw fireflies clustered together in a halo, casting silhouettes of Jinxi and Lingyao frolicking.
"His words just now, 'Protect everything,' are just like you back then!"
"Back then... Sect Master, you were just as stubborn, turning your longing for the Emperor into the spark of your cultivation."
"This child really knows how to warm your icy heart."
Frosty Moon did not answer; its figure disappeared into the misty mountain path.
The frost that had formed on the grass blades vanished instantly.
Flowers and grasses sway in the breeze, a hundred flowers bloom, and the air is filled with fragrance.
