She felt like she was being carried on someone's back, and the scene around her was moving backwards rapidly.
She was still covered by a cloak to protect her from the wind, but the cold air around her kept creeping into her body.
"Cough cough cough!"
Lu Qingye felt very weak at the moment.
The man who was walking quickly paused. After sensing her discomfort, he found a huge ice block in the leeward for shelter and gently placed her on the padded animal hide.
Only then did Lu Qingye see clearly who had saved him.
"Too...Taijue?"
The aura on his body, as well as the familiar mask and eyes, reminded Lu Qingye of Tai Jue in the West.
But looking at him now, Lu Qingzhi felt that familiar feeling again.
The eyes under Tai Jue's mask were a little deep.
"How are you?"
His voice was hoarse.
"Thanks."
Taijue pursed his lips and spoke after a while.
"You also saved me when we were in the secret realm."
He wanted to blame this incident on the Karma of kindness that day.
Lu Qingye knew that at that time, she was just treating the other party's illness and injuries, which was far inferior to what he did today to save her in front of many monks.
Lu Qingye had actually thought about the exposure of his identity a long time ago.
He might have been nervous at the time, but at this moment, Lu Qingye found that he seemed to be accepting it just fine.
As for the future... it is to be spurned, hated, and hunted...
She was ready too.
"Where is this?"
Taijue's spiritual power made a few pieces of ice and blocked several other places where the air leaked.
"This is the southwest of Miliu Sea, and we are almost near the West Island now."
He chose this road specifically because it was sparsely populated.
"Perhaps we can go to the extreme south of the Tiancha Abyss to take shelter. It is the junction of the Dao Sect and the Demon Sect. There is a mixture of fish and dragons, and the management is relatively loose."
When Lu Qingye heard this, he raised his head and looked at him.
"You... want to come with me?"
Taijue nodded slightly.
"I'm very grateful that you were able to rescue me. I can walk the rest of the way on my own."
She didn't want to implicate him.
To be honest, the friendship between them is not that deep.
Now she also remembers Taijue's kindness in her heart.
If he doesn't die, he will do his best to repay the other party in the future.
Taijue didn't speak anymore, he just silently lit the fire and prepared the food.
Wait until the food is ready before speaking.
"Now that your meridians are at a fragile stage, it is not appropriate to take elixirs. It is most suitable to warm them with spiritual food."
The sea breeze blew around his robes, and Lu Qingye felt that he couldn't understand the other party.
"Fellow Taoist Taijue, may I ask, why do you treat me like this?"
Maybe it was rude to ask this, but Lu Qingye really wanted to know.
Is it really because of the kindness and friendship in the secret realm, or is it because of something else?
Her slightly lowered eyes blocked the light in her eyes.
If it was the former, she was extremely grateful and would remember this sentiment.
If it was the latter, she would be equally grateful and would never forget this kindness.
But at this moment, Lu Qingye might be more hopeful that it was because of the latter...
Favor is easy to repay, but love is hard to repay.
Now, her future is uncertain, and the only thing she needs to think about most is how to survive.
Tai Jue raised his eyes and looked at her.
Something flashed in his eyes. It was too complicated for Lu Qingye to understand.
"I saved you because of... kindness."
Lu Qingye frowned. Taijue at this moment gave her that very familiar feeling again.
Her eyes fell on the other party's ordinary mask, but her essence was unclear. (End of chapter)
