Chapter 357 Source

Yun Ci's subtle gesture of looking out the window was easily noticed by Immortal Venerable Ji Qing, who was watching Yun Ci closely even while looking at the paper.

Whenever Yun Ci made the slightest move as if she wanted to leave, or even just looked out the window, it was the root cause of the sudden change in the man's aura.

Immortal Venerable Jiqing turned his head, his dark eyes, bloodshot and fixed on Yun Ci, asking, "You want to leave?"

As he spoke, Immortal Venerable Jiqing waited for Yun Ci's reply.

Some thoughts that break free from the shackles of reason kept popping out of my mind.

As long as Yun Ci nods, Immortal Venerable Ji Qing will immediately do something.

At this moment, the man in white, as pure as snow, did not seem like an immortal venerable one who reached for the moon in the heavens, but rather more like Yun Ci's master, torn between good and evil and prone to madness.

Yun Ci looked into her master's dark eyes, felt a chill, and became obedient, no longer looking out the window, and replied,

"No, it's just that someone's waiting for me outside. He'll get worried if I don't go out, haha..."

Yun Ci tentatively asked, observing her master's expression.

Good, it's not worse.

Then Yun Ci realized that things were already very serious, that they had gone mad with their cultivation. Did Sect Leader Cang Xuan and the others know about this?

Immortal Venerable Jiqing did not speak, but turned his head and continued to look at the paper.

Yun Ci exhaled as his master turned around.

Then, he began to think about how to comfort his master and how to get out without making his master's condition worse.

Yun Ci then thought that his master might be like this because he had been away for too long.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe half an hour, maybe an hour.

During this time, Yun Ci did not force herself to sit idly.

Lie down, sit, or recline—do whatever makes you comfortable.

Even the Immortal Venerable Jiqing did not concern himself with Yun Ci.

As long as Yun Ci doesn't want to leave, the man will always be the same familiar figure to Yun Ci—the aloof and powerful man in the eyes of the world, and the very, very good master in his own eyes.

For example, at this moment, Yun Ci is sitting with his legs crossed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

What Yun Ci didn't know was that Immortal Venerable Ji Qing had actually been silently observing every change in him over the past four years.

Looking at Yun Ci's wrist peeking out from his somewhat wide sleeves.

The Immortal Venerable Jiqing thought to himself.

Ci'er is too thin.

"Have you been in the secret realm for the past four years?" Immortal Venerable Jiqing asked casually.

"Master, I'm going outside to take a look. I'll be right back." Yun Ci couldn't take it anymore and blurted out.

They both finished speaking at the same time.

Yun Ci, “…”

Ruined......

Immortal Venerable Jiqing looked at Yun Ci and suddenly smiled.

The man, as slender as a mountain of ice and snow, had a smile that could be described as a thousand pear blossoms in bloom. But at this moment, Yun Ci had no mind to admire his master's appearance; all he could think about was danger.

Immortal Venerable Jiqing looked at Yun Ci, his long, well-defined hand slowly resting on Yun Ci's small face, his thumb rubbing against it.

"Isn't Ci'er afraid of the dark?"

"It's getting dark. Master, would you please take Ci'er to a brighter room?"

As he spoke, Immortal Venerable Jiqing stood up with a smile, his eyes bloodshot.

Yun Ci felt her face was very cold, and it remained so even after her master withdrew his hand.

Yun Ci couldn't help but shudder and quickly said, "No need, I'm not afraid of the dark anymore, I'm quite happy here, hahaha."

The remnant soul in that Nine Heavens Secret Realm, knowing he was afraid of the dark, kept throwing him into a small dark room, saying it was to fight poison with poison.

Immortal Venerable Jiqing bent down and grabbed Yun Ci's wrist, his tone both light and manic.

"Look, Ci'er is lying again. What should Master do with Ci'er?"

“Stand up, don’t make me say it a second time.”

Yun Ci tried to nimbly turn the hand over, but it was firmly held in place by the man's hand.

Left with no other choice, Yun Ci suddenly attacked her master with her other hand.

Immortal Venerable Jiqing turned his head, and Yun Ci quickly exchanged a few moves with his master.

Every movement was fluid and graceful.

"Alright, Master, will you play with Ci'er again later? Master has plenty of time to play with Ci'er now."

Immortal Venerable Jiqing grasped Yun Ci's other hand and exerted a slight force.

Yun Ci was pulled up by her master.

"Why is Ci'er so thin? It's alright, Master will help Ci'er recover."

"The chubby cheeks on Ci'er's face will heal."

Yun Ci looked at her master, who was muttering to himself, and thought to herself.
