Chapter 2667: A Higher Level
Many thoughts flashed through Yan Xuehen’s mind. Awkwardness and embarrassment gushed into her mind, overwhelming her.
But Chu Chuyan suddenly grabbed her. “Master, I know you’re worried about me, but you can put your mind at ease. I’m already used to it. It’s not that different from when I was cultivating in seclusion in the White Jade Sect; it’s just a change of environment. You know I prefer quiet. Staying here might be an ordeal to others, but it’s not difficult for me.”
“Ah?” Yan Xuehen blinked. Is that what she wants to say? She finally understood what it meant to have a guilty conscience. After breathing a sigh of relief, her conscience got to her, and she said, “Chuyan, I...”
But Chu Chuyan didn’t give her the chance to speak. “Master, I wasn’t joking about that. I won’t be able to accompany Ah Zu for a thousand years, so can you take care of him on my behalf?”
Yan Xuehen panicked. “How can I take care of him...”
“Ah Zu is strong, but he’s still young. As the saying goes, ‘deity at a whim, demon at another’. Master, you should stay with him and guide him. If he strays down the wrong path, I fear that no one will be able to stop him,” Chu Chuyan said.
The serious talk cleared Yan Xuehen’s mind a little. She solemnly nodded. “Alright.”
As the leader of the orthodox path, the duty to uphold justice was ingrained in her. What Chu Chuyan mentioned could potentially happen, and that would spell a calamity for the world.
Seeing her master’s grim expression made Chu Chuyan snicker on the inside. I know Ah Zu’s personality well. He might stray when it comes to women, but he won’t make a mistake in other matters.
She had only said that to give Yan Xuehen a valid pretext to stay by Ah Zu’s side. When she first learned about her lover getting together with her master, she was angry, but many things had happened since. She'd gone on a long journey and even traveled along the river of time under different identities. This was minor compared to everything she'd been through.
