Beautiful CEO's Top Martial Expert-Chapter 2190 - 2188: Severing All Hopes
Looking at Bai Xin’er, Xiao Yifeng’s eyes flickered, and the other party’s body trembled slightly as she looked at Xiao Yifeng, while the head of Compassionate Silence Nunnery, Miaoyin, glanced at Bai Xin’er and Xiao Yifeng.
"Xiin’er, is that you?"
Xiao Yifeng gazed at Bai Xin’er and softly uttered.
Upon hearing Xiao Yifeng’s words, Bai Xin’er’s body trembled, her eyes flickering with an incredibly complex expression.
"Xiin’er, who is this?"
Miaoyin looked at Bai Xin’er and asked.
"Master, this is an old friend of mine. Can I talk to him?"
Bai Xin’er replied.
"Don’t waste too much time!"
Miaoyin said, then led the rest of the Compassionate Silence Nunnery people away, leaving Bai Xin’er standing there.
Xiao Yifeng walked over, Bai Xin’er took off her veil, revealing a face of pure beauty and elegance.
The current Bai Xin’er seemed more beautiful and pure than when she was on Earth, exuding a sense of purity and sanctity.
"Are you well?"
Bai Xin’er looked at Xiao Yifeng, her eyes flashing with a complex light, her lips trembling slightly, her chest gently heaving, clearly struggling to remain calm inside.
After experiencing so much and being in the Ancient Realm for so long, Bai Xin’er originally thought she had forgotten Xiao Yifeng, that she could avoid recalling past events.
But she didn’t expect to meet this man, who had always been in her heart, here again.
Only during this encounter did she realize that she hadn’t forgotten him, merely hidden her feelings, yet now that they met again, emotions for Xiao Yifeng surged once more.
"Hmm, how are you? Weren’t you in Suhang? How did you end up here and become a member of Compassionate Silence Nunnery?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at Bai Xin’er and asked.
"Upon hearing the news of your death, I went to a nunnery and prayed for you every day. Later, an ancestor of that nunnery appeared and brought me to the Ancient Realm, leading me to Compassionate Silence Nunnery, where I was chosen by my master to become the Saintess of Compassionate Silence Nunnery."
Bai Xin’er spoke softly.
"Thank you, I’m sorry!"
Xiao Yifeng said to Bai Xin’er with some guilt; he had killed her brother long ago and never cared for her.
After hearing about his trouble, she ran to the nunnery to pray for him daily, adding guilt in his heart.
"Don’t mention it, my brother set you up, I prayed for you only to make myself feel better and atone for my brother’s sins. Seeing you well now brings me peace."
Bai Xin’er whispered, her bright eyes reflecting many emotions.
"I..."
Unable to find words for Bai Xin’er, Xiao Yifeng hesitated, making Bai Xin’er smile lightly: "Alright, I have to go back, let’s talk if we have the chance!"
Bai Xin’er finished speaking and left, brushing past Xiao Yifeng, moisture forming at her eye corner as she departed.
"Ah..."
Xiao Yifeng let out a silent sigh, unsure of how to deal with Bai Xin’er, this woman in his life.
"Brother, you sure have emotional debts, even the Saintess of Compassionate Silence Nunnery is connected to you!"
Reen Tian and Luo Qianyu looked at Xiao Yifeng and said.
"She’s an old friend of mine, just never expected her to join Compassionate Silence Nunnery!"
Xiao Yifeng replied.
"She really likes you!"
Yuan Zhimo commented while looking at Xiao Yifeng.
"Perhaps!"
Xiao Yifeng responded, recognizing Bai Xin’er’s affection for him, otherwise, she wouldn’t act this way.
However, Xiao Yifeng had no emotions for Bai Xin’er, not thinking of this woman from his past until their meeting.
"Brother Xiao, Compassionate Silence Nunnery has strict rules; its members must never connect with the opposite gender or experience emotions for life, or face severe punishment, especially her being the Saintess; trouble would arise if her master knew."
Ling Yu warned Xiao Yifeng.
"I hope she’ll be alright!"
Xiao Yifeng spoke with a heavy tone.
"Compassionate Silence Nunnery is indeed harsh, keeping young girls isolated from men and forbidding marriage seems utterly inhumane!"
Qian Duoduo grumbled.
"Compassionate Silence Nunnery emphasizes tranquility and detachment, cultivating purity and goodness in Buddha Dao, naturally prohibiting any emotions or desires, as they would harm one’s cultivation on the Martial Path!"
Ling Yu explained.
"Alas... it’s all because of me!"
Xiao Yifeng sighed again.
Then Xiao Yifeng and others returned to Ling Sect, with Tian Tu and Yuan Zhimo staying there as well.
In his room, Xiao Yifeng continued cultivating Dragon Spirit Art, seemingly nearing completion, while his right arm up to his shoulder transformed with scales, resembling a dragon claw with powerful energy.
Meanwhile, in a room in the Holy City, Miaoyin sat with Bai Xin’er standing before her.
"Xiin’er, what’s your relationship with him?"
Miaoyin inquired sternly.
"Master, we are just friends; he’s an old acquaintance of mine!"
Bai Xin’er replied, nervous and avoiding Miaoyin’s gaze, her head bowed.
"An old acquaintance? Is he also from the original world?"
Miaoyin asked.
"Yes!"
Bai Xin’er nodded, aware Miaoyin knew of her origins, her friend naturally from the same source.
"Xiin’er, no need to hide from me, I sensed someone occupied your thoughts previously, likely him!"
Miaoyin stated.
"No, Master, please don’t misunderstand!"
Bai Xin’er quickly shook her head, aware of Compassionate Silence Nunnery’s rules, hesitant to confess.
Miaoyin furrowed her brow, stating: "Xiin’er, your potential is exceptional, which is why I made you Saintess, hoping you’d succeed me and lead Compassionate Silence Nunnery."
"Yet you must understand the rules: cultivating our techniques requires rejecting emotions, else hindering your power growth."
"I hope you won’t let this affect your future; for Compassionate Silence Nunnery, I might act decisively to sever any lingering sentiments!"
Miaoyin’s last words carried hidden menace, implying considering Xiao Yifeng’s eradication.
"No, Master, rest assured; I won’t associate with him and will diligently train, not disappointing you!"
Bai Xin’er’s face changed, urgently assuring Miaoyin.
