Chapter 48 Complex Emotions
After bidding farewell to the Grand Elder, the two of them left.
"Xiaoxue, you’ve reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even if you go to the Dan Yang Sect, it will be quite safe. At this stage, no one can perform possession on you anymore!" Lu Xuanji said, "On the contrary, you’ll be valued."
"The factions within Dan Yang Sect are numerous, with internal strife and open secret struggles incessant. If I join, I’d surely get entangled in all sorts of conflicts and intrigues. I might even become cannon fodder, falling to someone’s schemes. Nothing compares to the safety and freedom of the Lu Family."
Ye Feixue said this quite nonchalantly.
Lu Xuanji was taken aback.
It was as if someone preferred running their own business, being their own boss, rather than working for a Fortune 500 company and enduring the pressures of foreign corporations.
"Actually, none of these are the real reason; the real reason is I can’t bear to part with you. If I were to join the Dan Yang Sect, we might not see each other for ten or twenty years, and by then, I’m afraid I might forget you." Ye Feixue said as she moved closer to Lu Xuanji, the distance between them decreasing.
From twenty centimeters to ten.
Finally, pressed close together, feeling each other’s heartbeat, sensing the breath that was so close, feeling that familiar aura.
Ye Feixue seemed drunk, or maybe she was in a dream-like trance, "Because of you, the world has value. Because of you, I feel like I’m alive. Only when I’m with you does my life have meaning, and am I happy. If one day you were gone, even becoming a Golden Core Ancestor would mean nothing."
Saying this, she couldn’t hold back any longer and leaned in for a kiss.
