School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master-Chapter 1423 - 1509: Love Sealed at the Lotus Pavilion
During cultivation, especially at the crucial moment of breaking through the Dark Gate, the most dreaded thing is being interrupted.
Yafeng was at the final threshold of reaching the Supreme Realm when they barged in, disrupting her focus, causing her power to scatter, her blood to flow erratically, leading to backlash.
Blood stained her lips as she looked up at the top of the Stone Cave, tears streaming from her eyes.
"Master, your disciple is incompetent. I still cannot break the curse and stay by your side. Please take care of yourself." Tears overflowed from Yafeng’s eyes. She retracted her gaze, channeling Divine Power to suppress her injuries.
As she finished speaking, an ethereal voice came from beyond the Nine Heavens.
Piercing through many barriers, directly entering Yafeng’s ears: "Feng’er, you need not blame yourself. Everything has its destined time. When it is time for you to emerge, the curse will naturally break."
This voice was only audible to Yafeng.
Upon hearing Xuan Tianji’s response, Yafeng’s expression immediately became agitated: "But Master, you told me everything has its destined time thousands of years ago. When will I finally be able to break the curse?"
"To cultivate, one must be neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither anxious nor rash. With your eagerness for quick success, even without interruptions, you won’t be able to achieve the Supreme position."
With these words, Yafeng’s eyes turned into streams of uncontrollable tears.
She was somewhat agitated and spoke after a while: "But Master, my longing is overwhelming. The person I wish to see hasn’t visited me for thousands of years, leaving me alone in this Purple Bamboo Forest. Please teach me how I can be neither arrogant nor anxious?"
Xuan Tianji, apparently knowing whom she referred to, fell silent for a moment.
"Master, I know having such thoughts is rebellious, but things have come to this. My feelings haven’t faded after thousands of years. Please tell me, what should I do?"
Xuan Tianji was silent for a long time before saying, "This is all my fault. Focus on your cultivation. If I return alive, I will certainly give you an explanation."
"But Master..."
"No need to say more, just focus on your cultivation. As for Chen Nan, your uncle has already arranged everything."
After saying this, Xuan Tianji did not reply to Yafeng’s further calls, likely because he was in the Outer Starry Sky, perhaps oblivious to the happenings here.
...
Outside the Stone Gate, Yu Wenqingxue tried every method she could, but was unable to open the Stone Gate.
Yafeng had changed her sealing method, and with her and Zhao Han’s power, it would be impossible to break it even after years of effort.
As they were about to give up, Yafeng’s voice came from inside—
"You need not worry about it, everything regarding Chen Nan has been arranged. Once the time is right, everything will be restored."
Yu Wenqingxue asked, "Sister, then do we need to do nothing?"
"Just protect his reincarnated body." Yafeng paused for a moment, then continued, "Qingxue, if you feel suffocating in the woods, you can also go out for a walk."
Yu Wenqingxue was ecstatic to hear this: "Thank you, sister."
"Go ahead."
The two turned and walked out, leaving the secluded Immortal Cave, exiting the Purple Bamboo Forest.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
It was the weekend in the Mortal World. Chen Nan sneaked out early in the morning, pushing his bicycle, worried about being discovered by Feng Xiaoguo.
Because today, he had a date with Ye Yiyi.
"Finally shook off that crazy girl."
Riding his bicycle with a cheerful mood, Chen Nan sped along the road heading straight for Qingshi Intersection, the place he agreed to meet Ye Yiyi after yesterday’s class.
As for the Black Feathered Chicken, Chen Nan found it a bother, so he deliberately didn’t tell it, sneaking out by himself.
The Qingshi Intersection was only two or three miles from Chen Nan’s home, and he soon arrived.
From afar, Chen Nan saw Ye Yiyi at the intersection, looking around constantly, clearly waiting for him.
"Could I be late?"
Chen Nan instinctively checked his watch. They agreed on nine in the morning, but it was only eight-thirty.
Feeling guilty, Chen Nan thought he should have left home even earlier, seeing how Ye Yiyi had come so much ahead of time.
"Screech"
Chen Nan hit the brakes and stopped by the roadside.
Ye Yiyi turned immediately and looked over, slightly surprised: "You’re early!"
She meant it wholeheartedly, not sarcastically, since Chen Nan was also half an hour ahead.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Ye Yiyi shook her head with a smile: "No, I just got here too."
Though she said so, Chen Nan noticed the wet ground from last night’s rain bore many messy footprints. She must have been pacing while waiting for quite a while.
Chen Nan didn’t say this, but he remembered it in his heart, patting the back seat of his bicycle and saying, "This can’t compare to your fancy car, are you brave enough to ride?"
Ye Yiyi walked over: "Xiaoguo always rides this way, why wouldn’t I?"
Chen Nan removed his jacket and padded the back seat, something he wasn’t usually proactive about since Feng Xiaoguo always took it off himself.
"Your clothes will wrinkle." Ye Yiyi hesitated.
"It’s fine whether it’s wrinkled or not. What’s important is that you’re a bit more comfortable." Chen Nan extended his hand to her.
Ye Yiyi blushed slightly, holding his hand as she sat on the back seat.
"By the way, what’s your phone number?"
Ye Yiyi shyly asked, thinking that having a phone number would make it easier to keep in touch in the future.
"I don’t have a phone."
Chen Nan smiled wryly, saying, "Yiyi, how about we go to the Lotus Pavilion?"
Ye Yiyi happily nodded: "Sure, I love lotus flowers the most."
Chen Nan pedaled the bicycle towards the Lotus Pavilion.
Compared to when he was usually alone, his speed was markedly slower today. It wasn’t because he lacked strength; he had plenty. He was afraid of going too fast and causing Ye Yiyi to fall.
Half an hour later, the two reached the Lotus Pavilion.
Chen Nan found a place to park his bike, taking Ye Yiyi’s hand and heading towards the Lotus Pavilion.
It was Ye Yiyi’s first time being held by him, and her heart was pounding, yet she didn’t struggle at all; she was rather delighted, running up to the Lotus Pavilion with him.
The Lotus Pavilion was located in the center of a small lake, with only one way leading to the pavilion.
During the season when lotus blossoms were in full bloom, Ye Yiyi was overjoyed, taking out her phone to photograph the lotus flowers in the lake.
Seeing the smile on her face, the more Chen Nan looked at her, the more beautiful he found her, and the more he liked her. His heart even felt a tingling sensation. Finally gathering enough courage, he stepped closer as Ye Yiyi was photographing, and put his arm around her waist.
