Chapter 256: Chapter 257 - Master, I Find You

Jianjia was waiting patiently. The sun went down gradually, yet Qi Tiance still didn’t come here.

Jianjia was a little worried. Although Bai Aoxue had seen it all, she didn’t say more. At this moment, it was in vain to say anything.

“Jianjia, have a rest first. Trust your master. He won’t leave you alone.” After a little while, Bai Aoxue looked at Jianjia, who was sitting outside the house and looking at the winding path blankly, and said slightly.

Jianjia nodded her head and said, “Sister Aoxue, let me wait for a while. Now there isn’t anybody waiting for my master. I am the disciple of my master, so I should wait for my master. In this way, he probably will feel better.”

Seeing that Jianjia was so persistent, Bai Aoxue also didn’t say more. In her heart, she also thought that Jianjia was so thoughtful.

Although she lay on the bed, she still waited with Jianjia together.

Jianjia turned around to have a look at Bai Aoxue. Although she knew that she couldn’t be willful, she still wanted to wait for a little while.

The silvery moonlight was so bright, shining on the winding path. The moon seemed to be made of silver.

A slender shadow walked here slowly from the other side of the path.

“Master!” Jianjia shouted happily and rushed to him quickly.

Qi Tiance looked at Jianjia who didn’t take a rest and waited for him. There flashed guilt in his eyes. He was an adult now, but he still made a child worry about him.

He was extremely painful in his heart all of a sudden. Then what about her before? Every time, she saw him leave and waited for him who wouldn’t return on a specific date. When did he once make her not worry about him?

“Go to have a rest quickly. You still need to get up early tomorrow.” Qi Tiance flipped Jianjia’s hair slightly and said slowly.

Jianjia nodded her head and said, “Master, you also go to rest earlier! Sister Aoxue, I am about to have a rest. And I will come to see you again tomorrow.”

Bai Aoxue nodded her head, looked at Jianjia, and smiled at Jianjia slightly.

Again, she turned around to have a look at Qi Tiance and waited for Qi Tiance’s next word.

“When your wounds are healed, take me to have a look at her. This time, I will not break my promise again.” Qian Tiance had a deep look at Bai Aoxue and said carefully.

Bai Aoxue nodded her head and looked at Qi Tiance. The questions that she was supposed to ask were choked in her throat at this moment. She didn’t know what to ask first.

She hadn’t ever been a softhearted person. But Qi Tiance’s image right now would make even those people whose hearts were as cold as ice move.

He was the legendary person who stirred the whole Sutian. There were so many legends about him in all corners of the country and outside the imperial court.

But any kind of legend wasn’t as real as Qi Tiance himself who she was seeing at this moment.

The rippled sorrow was in the depth of his eyes. His slightly red eyes and tightly clenched fists both indicated his sorrow at this moment.

One’s eyes would not lie. Qi Tiance’s eyes made her see his agony and desperation.

The reason why he was in pain was that he lost the person whom he regarded as faith. The reason why he was desperate was that what he had always insisted on fell apart in an instant. He couldn’t accept it. Or put it in another way, he didn’t want to accept it at all.

“I know what you want to ask.” Qi Tiance turned around to look at the outside of the window and said slightly.

“Actually, I didn’t think much when I was young. I am an orphan, without father or mother. When I saw her for the first time, she hadn’t been the daughter of the governor of Yangzhou. She was in dire straits just like me. Although she was escaping, she took me with her on her escaping way. She asked me to be her pupil. But actually, she was just several years older than me.”

“In the beginning, I wasn’t willing. But occasionally, I saw her squatting below the outside peach tree in the midnight and sobbing slightly. I didn’t dare to go forward to bother her. Later, I really became her pupil hesitantly. She said that people were evil in all corners of the country, so she wanted to leave and return with me. At that time, I thought that she was just saying that.”

“But later on, she always haunted me. Wherever I went, she always followed me. I was annoyed, so I asked her to leave and go back to wait for me. But she really went back. I was such a high-spirited person at that time so that I always wanted to realize my ambition and become famous all over the world. I was so proud. How could I ever think that how merciless the things that I had done to her were and how brutal the words that I had said to her were! But I finally hurt her.”

“It has been so long since I talked to someone this way. Thank you for listening to me. I will not waste your time so that you can have a rest.” Qi Tiance said slightly While he had walked to the outside of the door.

Hearing Qi Tiance’s words that seemed to be talked to himself, Bai Aoxue was in a trance. She had also imagined the scene when these two people were still young.

“What if… I didn’t tell you? Will you still wait for her?” Bai Aoxue looked at Qi Tiance and asked her question finally.

As soon as Qi Tiance heard Bai Aoxue’s words, he paused his steps. And then he moved his slender legs, strode, and left.

“I will wait for her. I will always wait for her even though I don’t know the specific date that she will return.”

His cold words were full of time-beaten deep feelings.

Bai Aoxue closed her eyes slowly, but she slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

A man who could shed tears for a woman valued feelings most. Even if he might be a bad guy, he was also a bad guy who valued feelings most.

People like Qi Tiance might shed tears only once. Perhaps it was for the people that they loved.

She healed her wounds this way for several days. Bai Aoxue could sit on her own without Jianjia’s assistance. And this indicated that her wounds were recovering gradually.

“Oh… Master! Master! A person is there!” There came Jianjia’s uncertain voice, which also made Bai Aoxue surprised.

After spending several days here, she also knew where she was. Although the Peach Blossom Mountain sounded pleasant to the ears, it was actually a horrible place where there were crises everywhere. People might lose their life if they were not careful enough.

If it weren’t Qi Tiance who went to pick herbs and saw her and saved her handily, then she might have become a ghost at this moment.

According to Qi Tiance, nobody would enter this place, not to mention that they had already been the deepest part of the Peach Blossom Mountain.

“Jianjia, don’t go there.” Qi Tiance’s calm voice also yanked Bai Aoxue’s mind back.

“But, master, that person seems to be injured. It seems that he is shaking and crumbling.” Jianjia said hesitantly, but she also stopped her approaching steps.

Qi Tiance looked at the direction that Jianjia pointed and really saw a shaky and unsteady shadow. Only with one look, he would know that this person was injured.

“Stay here with Sister Aoxue, I, as your master, will go there to have a look.” Originally, Qi Tiance didn’t want to care. But this person had already come to the door of his house. He had to go there to have a look and figure out who he was.

Jianjia came to Bai Aoxue’s side obediently, waiting for Qi Tiance to bring that person back.

While Qi Tiance had come to that person’s side. There also flashed a light in his unfeeling eyes. This man’s appearance was even more beautiful than a woman’s. Although he looked a little awkward, the red clothes all over him also added much charm for him.

That was right. Who Qi Tiance and Jianjia had seen was Liushuang who entered the Peach Blossom Mountain to find Bai Aoxue.

There was too much danger in the Peach Blossom Mountain. On the way, although Liushuang kept alert, he didn’t avoid being injured. There wasn’t any light in his dim eyes, which used to be so beautiful and charming.

Qi Tiance had a look at him and knew that he was poisoned.

“You…” Qi Tiance was about to open his mouth to ask him. The iron fan in Liushuang’s hands had already swirled to him.

He slightly tilted his body and avoided Liushuang’s attack. He rushed to Liushuang’s side and stopped him and said, “Don’t move! What’s your purpose of entering the Peach Blossom Mountain?”

Although his eyes were hazy at this moment, he could still vaguely recognize that the person beside him was a tall man. Liushuang tittered slightly and said, “It’s none of your business.”

His look indicated that he wasn’t afraid of being killed and cut. Obviously, he didn’t care about his own life at all.

After looking for her for so many days, he still didn’t find Bai Aoxue. He could not help feeling a little desperate in his heart. Bai Aoxue, who was heavily wounded, might have been dead after she entered the Peach Blossom Mountain.

For such a long period, he hadn’t found her. Was she OK or not?

Looking at Liushaung’s appearance now, Qi Tiance didn’t plan to poke his nose into others’ business. There transmitted Jianjia’s clear voice when he thought of casting Liushuang away and leaving.

“Master! Sister Aoxue asked you to bring this person to her!”

After Qi Tiance heard this, he slightly raised his brow. Perhaps, this person who came to look for Bai Aoxue was Bai Aoxue’s enemy?

Liushuang, who used to be unconscious, became conscious. His dim charming and beautiful eyes flashed a light when he heard the words of “Aoxue”. Although it was short, Qi Tiance saw it very clearly.

“Aoxue?! Where is Aoxue? She is alive! Take me to see her!!” Exerting his last strength, Liushuang strove to grasp Qi Tiance’s collar. There was hope in his words.

Originally, Qi Tiance doubted a little that Liushuang was Bai Aoxue’s enemy. At this moment, he didn’t suspect him anymore.

The light that flashed in his eyes was indeed broken hope. The thing that thrust up again in an instant was called rebirth.

“She is alive. I will take you to see her.” Qi Tiance said slightly and held Liushuang to go towards the wooden house.

In the beginning, when Bai Aoxue heard that there was a person, her heart throbbed slightly. But she didn’t think more about it.

When Jianjia said that that man wore red clothes all over his body, Bai Aoxue had been a little sure of it. When Jianjia said that he used an iron fan to attack Qi Tiance, Bai Aoxue had already known who that person was.

She hadn’t expected that Liushuang would come here to find her. He would enter the Peach Blossom Mountain, which was called the place of death for her!

Although the reason why he became her disciple was a gambling agreement.

But Liushuang valued their friendship so much that he could do anything for this friendship.

She thought that when she fell from that broken precipice, she definitely had cut off her connection with all people. But she didn’t expect that there would be someone tightly grasping that connection. Even though that connection was so fragile, he still tried his best to remedy it. He would not let her go even if he might die!

How fortunate she was to meet several such bosom friends in her life.

Perhaps this was the so-called “Even if I might die, I have no regret.”

It was lucky that she was still alive. For the rest of her life, she would treat them better and spend her life with them together.

Bai Aoxue slightly raised her mouth and smiled. In her eyes, there were lights as clear as water, shining and glittering.

She looked at the door somewhat nervously. She clenched her fists tightly. Her white teeth slightly bit her thin lip, which was as light as pearls. Her pale face was livelier at this moment. Her clean white clothes made her appear to be so beautiful that nobody couldn’t compare with her.

“Master… I finally find you.” His fragile tone brought with some grievance and long-lost thought, which made Bai Aoxue want to cry in an instant.

His voice arrived before his flesh.
