Yuntian Fairy Mountain is a holy land for cultivating immortals. It is filled with pure and righteous spirit. It is surrounded by clouds and mist. When you look down, you can see a vast sea of clouds.
Lan Sheng was intoxicated by this fairyland-like scene and was severely shocked.
Yu Jian arrived in front of Yunxu Shangxian's palace. The palace was simple yet solemn. The plaque on the door had several large characters engraved on it - Palace of the Rising Sun.
The Rising Sun Palace is located on the east side of Yuntianxian Mountain. In the early morning, the sun is shining brightly in front of the palace, and you can see the rising sun rising from the sea of clouds, which also implies the meaning of the word "Yunxu".
Lan Sheng was mesmerized by the scenery of the sky, holding Chang Ling's sleeves tightly with both hands, and the sounds of exclamation could not be heard.
"Xiang... Chang Ling, are we going to live here from now on?"
Lan Sheng's eyes gleamed, and he almost forgot that he couldn't call Chang Ling his father-in-law in front of his master.
Chang Ling did not respond to Lan Sheng immediately, but instead bowed respectfully to the Master: "Master, Lan Sheng has nowhere to go, can you accept her?"
Zhuling moved her lips when she heard this, wanting to say something. She glanced at Changling secretly through the broken hair in front of her eyebrows, but didn't say anything in the end.
Master Yunxu looked back at Chang Ling, and Lan Sheng also blinked at Master Yunxu. Their eyes met. Master Yunxu coughed slightly awkwardly, without rejecting or agreeing:
"I heard that Miss Lan Sheng was infected by demonic energy. Please enter the palace first. Can I diagnose her?"
Master Yunxu's tone was gentler than ever before, but Chang Ling's eyes looked a little gloomy. He opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.
Chang Ling felt uneasy. His master was always strict with his disciples, and he was only approachable to outsiders. He was afraid that his master would not be willing to take Lan Sheng in.
Lan Sheng heard that Master Yunxu did not refuse, thinking that he was willing to accept her, and was overjoyed. Then he followed Chang Ling's example and bowed and called him Master. Yunxu Shangxian paused for a moment, did not respond to Lan Sheng, opened the palace door and stepped in.
Immortal cultivators are not greedy for enjoyment, so the palace looks unusually simple. What comes into view is a large courtyard with several fresh and elegant houses. Many flowers, plants and elixirs are planted in the courtyard, and the fresh air is refreshing.
In the hospital, Master Yunxu examined Lan Sheng's pulse and observed his physical appearance. As soon as he touched Lan Sheng's wrist, Master Yunxu felt an active demonic energy flowing around.
This demonic energy and her soul were actually one and the same. Not only did they not exclude each other in her body, they actually blended into each other?
Immortal Yunxu showed surprise on his face, frowned and looked at Lan Sheng for a while, and finally shook his head feebly, and then let go of Lan Sheng's hand: "Miss Lan Sheng has been deeply infected by the evil spirit. She may be... It cannot be completely eradicated.”
"The demonic energy has not changed in the body, so it doesn't matter." Master Yunxu continued calmly: "It's just that Yun Tian can't keep you."
"Why, didn't you say it's okay?" Lan Sheng said anxiously. She didn't want to be separated from Chang Ling again.
"You are destined to have no fate with Yuntian. Leaving is the best choice for you."
"Master, Lan Sheng has been kind to me. I sincerely ask Master to keep Lan Sheng." Chang Ling got down on one knee and begged Master Yunxu to accept Lan Sheng.
Seeing Chang Ling's behavior, Master Yunxu was keenly aware of a strange emotion, and his face darkened. After standing for a while, he lowered his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Come with me."
"Zhuling, wait outside!"
Zhu Ling, who was about to get up, stopped when she heard the sound and sat on a stone bench in the courtyard. The breeze blew over her cheeks and blew her hair at the temples, but she showed a sad look on her face.
Lan Sheng had a lovable personality, but Zhuling couldn't like her. She didn't want Lan Sheng to stay in Yuntian, but she didn't dare to say it. Ever since her senior brother returned to the mountain, she had been caring about Lan Sheng. She didn't dare to go against his wishes for fear of being bored by him.
Yunxu Immortal Leader Ling and Lan Sheng came to the room where he usually practiced and meditated. They waved and the door closed automatically.
"Chang Ling, do you realize your mistake?" Master Yunxu asked Chang Ling coldly.
"Chang Ling knows his mistake."
Chang Ling did not refute or explain anything, he knelt down and prepared to be punished.
Lan Sheng was a little slow and didn't know why, thinking that Chang Ling was punished because he asked him to take her in, so he stretched out his hand to pull Chang Ling to stand up.
Seeing that Chang Ling was unmoved, Lan Sheng was a little angry: "Chang Ling, get up, I won't stay in Yuntian anymore."
"You have feelings for her?"
Yunxu Shangxian's deep eyes seemed to have seen everything about Chang Ling, and he looked a little disappointed.
Chang Ling did not reply to Yunxu Shangxian's question, and nodded slightly, indicating that he accepted it.
"Chang Ling, do you know that you have violated Yuntian's commandments?" Immortal Yunxu scolded Chang Ling without giving Chang Ling a chance to breathe.
Even though Lan Sheng was dull, he still sensed the subtle atmosphere and quickly retorted: "If you like me, you will be punished. You are not an immortal sect. It doesn't matter if you don't wait."
Lan Sheng didn't understand why it was wrong for Chang Ling to like him, so he continued to use force to pull Chang Ling, but Chang Ling still knelt on the ground, motionless.
Master Yunxu ignored Lan Sheng's words and continued to question Chang Ling. Lan Sheng felt that Chang Ling was being bullied and was a little angry when he saw that he ignored her.
"My husband and I have been engaged for a long time. If he doesn't care about you, he won't want to come back."
Hearing the word "Xiangong" come out of Lan Sheng's mouth, and knowing that Chang Ling had made a private engagement with her, Master Yunxu was first shocked, then completely angry, and his shoulders could not help but tremble with anger.
"Disciple Yuntian should be the leader of all people in the world. Do you know that this move will interrupt Chang Ling's path to immortality?"
Master Yunxu scolded Lan Sheng angrily, losing his original gentleness.
Lan Sheng was shocked by the sudden angry shout from Master Yunxu, but he did not want to show weakness. He was about to stand up to argue, but he felt a force on the corner of his clothes. From the corner of his eye, he saw Chang Ling shaking his head gently at him.
Lan Sheng lowered his head and looked at Chang Ling, who was tugging at the corner of his clothes, and then looked at Yunxu Shangxian, who was glaring at him. Feeling aggrieved, he squatted next to Chang Ling and started sobbing.
Yunxu has been cultivating immortals for thousands of years and has long since ended the mortal world. Except for Zhuling who liked to cry when she was young, the last time I saw a woman crying was an unknown number of thousand years ago.
For a moment, Master Yunxu seemed a little at a loss, and his anger dissipated a little. He was stunned for a while, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Master, follow the commandments and expel the disciples from Yuntian!"
When Chang Ling's words reached his ears, Master Yunxu stopped and looked gloomy. He never expected that Chang Ling would be so determined for a woman. Master Yunxu turned around and looked at Chang Ling behind him, and saw that he knocked his forehead heavily on the ground and knelt on the ground without getting up.
"Are you going to ignore all the people in the world?"
"If I leave Yuntian, I can still eliminate evil spirits, and I can still make a living for the common people." Chang Ling said slowly.
"Ignorance!" Master Yunxu said these two words and left without looking back.
Chang Ling was willing to be expelled from the school for her own sake. Lan Sheng was deeply moved. She blamed herself for being in a hurry to reveal the engagement, and looked at Chang Ling with tears in her eyes:
"Ms. sir, I'm sorry!"
Chang Ling stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Lan Sheng's head, and smiled at Lan Sheng: "Lan Sheng is not wrong."
After Master Yunxu left, Chang Ling still couldn't kneel down. Lan Sheng couldn't pull Chang Ling away, so he knelt with Chang Ling.
As time passed and the sky gradually darkened, Zhuling sneaked in many times to bring food to Chang Ling and Lan Sheng, but they completely ignored her. Chang Ling had been injured previously and had to kneel for several hours without any water dripping in. His lips gradually turned white.
Seeing this, Zhuling was heartbroken and asked them why they made their master angry, but the two ignored them.
Zhuling guessed that it was because the master did not agree with Lan Sheng's stay. In order to reduce the punishment for the senior brother, she also went to persuade the master. However, she got an angry scolding and was sent to the back mountain to practice martial arts overnight. Seeing that she could not persuade the master, Zhuling stamped her feet and reluctantly went to the back mountain to receive the punishment.
"Get up."
At some point, Master Yunxu had arrived in front of them, reaching out to pull Chang Ling up.
Chang Ling raised his head and glanced at Yunxu Shangxian, took his hand and used his strength to stand up. Seeing this, Lan Sheng stopped kneeling and stood up immediately. She staggered and almost fell down, but luckily Chang Ling caught her.
"Chang Ling, can you blame the Immortal Yun Sheng for not saving you a few days ago?" Immortal Yun Xu asked, his tone much gentler than before.
"Yuntian disciples should put the common people first. The leader's choice is right. I don't blame him."
"What if one day you were asked to choose between Master and the common people?"
Chang Ling was hesitant and didn't know how to answer. Seeing this, Master Yunxu continued: "Everything in the world is not what people want. We set lust as a commandment so that Yuntian's disciples will not be hindered and dare to be the first in the world."
"Even if it is Master you are asked to abandon one day, Master still hopes that you will put the common people first." Yunxu Shangxianyu said earnestly.
"Chang Ling understands, but please forgive me, master, for being selfish and not abandoning Lan Sheng."
"Your persistence will harm yourself, and it may also harm her, do you know?"
"The disciple has decided to lead her to live a normal life after the catastrophe."
Chang Ling grabbed Lan Sheng's hand, with unprecedented firmness, and said word by word: "She has been promised this, and it will be difficult to hold the sword for the common people."
After saying that, Chang Ling knelt down on his knees again: "This disciple is ashamed of his master and Yuntian."
