Chapter 313
Chapter 313 - The Open Road the Secret Room
The next morning, it was just dawn.
Hsu Ping stood at the entrance of her disciple's courtyard.
There were a few rows of neatly arranged and exquisite spirit plants in the courtyard. They were all of some expensive species. Due to the lack of care from their master, they looked a little tired. A layer of frost formed on the stone floor.
Hsu Ping was not in the mood to pay attention to these. She stared at the room in the courtyard and stood where she was. She felt some inexplicable uneasiness and did not dare to use her divine sense to pry.
As a peak Physical Integration Period, it was hard to find an opponent in this world. At this moment, she was especially afraid of facing her former lover face to face, no matter what kind of situation it was.
“How did I escape… How embarrassing.” Hsu Ping was a little upset about her escape last night. It was not only because of her weakness. It was also because her disciple might have heard the conversation and also saw the scene of her running away.
But luckily, Feiluan and her did not have that kind of relationship.
Otherwise, she really did not know what to do with herself.
“Hu…” Elder Xu spent half a day building his mental state. When the sky gradually turned bright and the frost on the ground evaporated, he mustered his courage and walked towards the inner room. He pretended to be calm as he pushed open the door and entered.
The door was gently pushed open, and the inside of the room was somewhat silent.
Hsu Ping's eyes moved away from the wall and landed on the hassock on the ground. With her keen senses, she could feel that the position of the hassock was slightly off from what she saw yesterday. But this small detail only flashed across her mind and it did not make her feel surprised.
Beside the hassock was a bed. The blanket was a little messy, rolled up into a ball, and the bed sheets were the same.
Hsu Ping could not help but smile. This child had forgotten to pay attention to her all these years and had never entered this room before. Why was his sleeping posture still as bad as when he was young?
Although she looked like a big girl who had her own dignity in the eyes of her junior brothers and sisters, she was still the child who would pull on her skirt and cry.
She shifted her gaze to the other side. There were tables and chairs. On the table, there was a small bronze censer with a beast head. A wisp of smoke was curling up and emitting an elegant fragrance that covered the entire room.
The sound of water came from behind the screen, and the shadow stopped. “Is it Master?”
Hsu Ping was stunned. Was Feiluan bathing?
That was true. It was the Fire Immolation Ceremony later. It was time to burn incense and take a bath.
But what surprised her was that after what happened last night, her disciple was still able to do things in such an orderly and calm manner. It could be said that he was calm and composed as he continued to do his own things and prepared everything that needed to be prepared.
A trace of shame rose in Hsu Ping's heart. Just now, she thought that Feiluan was the previous child, but now she realized that she was actually not as calm as this child… It seemed that her disciple had really grown up.
“En, Feiluan…” Hsu Ping walked over and hesitated for a moment. Her face was slightly red as she asked, “Jun… Where is Guo Fan?”
Liang Xiulan's voice was a little hoarse compared to usual. She said respectfully in a low voice, “Master, after you went out, he rushed to find you.”
Hsu Ping was stunned and her heart tightened. “He hasn't returned yet?”
Liang Xiulan leaned her body against the wall of the bucket and looked at the bottom of the water as she replied, “Yes.”
Hsu Ping anxiously said, “Why are you so reckless! Didn't you stop him? This was the Poison Desert Sect, and he only had less than a tenth of his cultivation base left. If his junior sister found out about his serious injuries… Or be discovered by other elders. I, I, I…”
Elder Xu was so anxious that he didn't even know what to do with the three of them. One could imagine how anxious he was.
Liang Xiulan said,” I tried to persuade him, but he said that he could not let go of his heart and must chase after… “
When Hsu Ping heard this, her eyes became moist. She turned around and rushed out of the door, turning into a ray of rainbow light.
Only silence was left in the room.
After a long time.
“Huala…”
Guo Fan quietly came out of the water and looked at the nervous Liang Xiulan. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Of course, Guo Fan was not afraid.
Liang Xiulan said with a stern face, “It's all your fault. I was almost discovered by Master. When that time comes, I will be expelled from the sect. You will only have two ends.”
Guo Fan said with a serious face, “You think too much. If something really happened, it is highly likely that your master was disheartened and killed the two of us. In the end, you will die with my head.”
He added, “Don't ask me how I knew.”
“Who died with you?” Liang Xiulan gently pushed him, then pursed her lips and said seriously, “You lied to Master to worry like this, she will be sad.”
Guo Fan sighed and said, “Later, I will go and apologize to your Master… Isn't this a temporary measure? I can't let her lose her sense of propriety because she is worried about me. I can't talk to you nicely now.”
Liang Xiulan felt a little sour in her heart. This bastard really ate her Master to death. Master's reaction was exactly the same as his calculation. There was no difference. In other words, it was Guo Fan's understanding of Hsu Ping. It might even be more thorough than her own.
She urged, “Get out quickly! I still want to take a bath. Just now, I was disturbed by you and didn't even wash myself clean. How can I participate in the Fire Immolation Ceremony like this!”
Guo Fan said in a hoarse voice, “You are already my man. This is the greatest blasphemy to the entire Poison Desert Sect. Why are you being so particular about it now?”
Liang Xiulan's cheeks were flushed red, but she still said with a straight face,” If you continue to waste your time, what will happen if junior sister comes looking for me? “
Guo Fan said without hesitation, “That's perfect. We can wash it together.”
Liang Xiulan said,… “You bastard!”
Liu, 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. He did not expect that Liang Xiulan's temper was still there and that she would reject him with a cold face. He could only put on his clothes sulkily and use the Mirror Moon Jade to disguise his face. He walked out of the door to look for Hsu Ping.
There was an opening ceremony for the Fire Immolation Ceremony. The official competition would start tomorrow, so there was no rush now.
Guo Fan sighed as he walked, “Why are you still trembling with fear when you just met me? Once you have something to do with me, you become bolder. A puny Foundation Establishing Stage dares to reject me? Is this a woman?”
The relationship between the two was quite strange. It could be said that they got on the bus first before buying tickets. It did not exist in the past, but in terms of feelings, it felt like they had just started.
One of them had a master who was enlightened while the other had a disciple who was secretly passing by.
Guo Fan really wanted to see what his disciple, who had already sneaked away, would do in front of his master in the following days.
……
Liang Xiulan rubbed her chest, her heart was still beating fast. She had actually taken advantage of her anger to boldly chase Guo Fan out. If it was another man with the same cultivation base, in this world where strength was respected, it was basically impossible to follow.
She reached out her hand to climb up the bathtub with some difficulty. When her eyes touched the screen, she found that her personal clothes were gone.
Liang Xiulan was stunned for a moment. It was funny and angry at the same time. She frowned and fretted. There was still the Fire Immolation Ceremony later…
