Chapter 69

Ji Xian, Xia Lihua, and Xiao Yueyin descended the Core Yin Pavilion. On their way down, they met Guo Xinyi, who have returned after showing Physician Yue Li and the others to their residence.

Senior Ji Xian, Senior Xia Lihua, Yueyin huh? Wheres the Sect Master? Guo Xinyi greeted them before realizing Shao Qinglian was nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Yueyin smiled, Xinyi, youve returned.

Yes. Guo Xinyi nodded, I had to wait until Physician Yue Li and the others settle down before I can leave.

Well, it looks like youll have to send them home soon.

What do you mean?

Xiao Yueyin sweetly smiled and it left Guo Xinyi stunned.

Yueyin when was the last time she smiled like that. I almost cant remember, it seems to have been a while. She has really changed, hasnt she? Shes no longer that cold and indifferent woman

Ji Xian was able to heal Senior Fang Yu! You wont need need to invite those physicians anymore in the future.

What! Guo Xinyi exclaimed.

She looked at Ji Xian in bewilderment. If it wasnt for her trust in Xiao Yueyin, she wouldve seriously doubted what she had just heard. After all, she was only gone for a short moment! It has only been ten minutes from when she left to when she returned!

What exactly happened while I wasnt here?

Ji Xian nodded. He walked past Guo Xinyi and left a few words before leaving with Xia Lihua.

Theyre at the top floor, and remember to stop calling me Senior or next time, Ill do something unspeakable to you.

Guo Xinyi blankly stared at Ji Xians back as his figure slowly fade away from view.

Xiao Yueyin didnt immediately follow them. She wanted to take this opportunity to tell Guo Xinyi about the method that can allow her to breakthrough into the Ninth Life Destruction.

Ji Xian and Xia Lihua closely walked side by side as they toured the Ardent Yin Sect. They happily chatted as they visited a few significant areas.

They passed by a couple of attractive disciples who looked at them enviously.

Look at that couple, they look so intimate.

Ugh Im so envious!

Its not like the Sect forbids you from finding a companion, why dont you just find someone?

You dont think I want to? Its just that none of these men are worthy of someone like me.

Xia Lihua dumbfoundedly looked at Ji Xian.

Does this moron just go around and think about stealing all the time? What kind of person is this?

She look at him for a moment before a thought appeared in her mind.

So Ji Xian has only been in one sect before he got expelled but he was still able to reach this far by himself

Xia Lihua was quietly in awe. Although loose cultivators arent exactly uncommon in the Mortal Haven World, its incredibly rare to run into one!

Due to the constant invasion of the Upper World, almost every sect will open its doors to anyone who can cultivate. So with such a simple requirement to enter, along with the resource of a sect to assist one in their cultivation, why would anyone want to become a loose cultivator where you have to repeatedly put your life on the line to fight for meager benefits?

Not to mention, the sects in Mortal Haven rarely restrict an individuals freedom!

With the positives overwhelmingly outweighing the negatives, there wasnt any reason not to join a sect!

Why didnt you just join another sect? She asked curiously.

Well Ji Xian was hesitant, Its not that I didnt want to join another sect but none of them wanted me.

They all said I have no talent for cultivation.

What? Xia Lihua frowned.

This had to be the biggest joke she has ever heard. If Ji Xian wasnt able to cultivate, then how did he even get to where he is today?

Ji Xian nodded before chuckling, They werent exactly wrong, I really couldnt cultivate at the time.

Xia Lihuas eyebrows pinched even tighter upon hearing this. She took a careful look at him and saw something in his eyes that she has rarely ever seen from Ji Xian.

It was sadness.

Her heart ached when she saw him like this. This wasnt the Ji Xian she knew. The Ji Xian that she was familiar with, is someone who always has a smile on his face, as though nothing in the world can get to him. She had never once thought that behind that dashing smile, was a pain that no one knew about.

What exactly have you been through? Xia Lihua gently held his face in her hand.

Ji Xian shook his head before recovering to his usual casual demeanor. That is a story for another time.

He smiled as he held her hand and pulled her along, I think I saw something interesting over here, lets go.

Xia Lihua silently stared at his back and bitterly sighed. It looks like Ji Xian is still hesitant with telling her about his past.
