Chapter 519: Comfort Your Own Taoist Companion
Pei Yun didn't check the treasures in the treasure box right away. After she put all the treasures on the shelf into her space, she asked about the effects of the karma flower. "Grandmaster Jidao, what kind of spiritual flower is this karma flower? I've never heard of it before. Even the books on elixirs in the Alchemy Temple don't seem to mention such a spiritual flower..."
"I'm not entirely sure of the origins of this Karma Flower. In my previous life, when I became friends with Li Mingyu, it was already in his possession. It's one of the Li family's most precious treasures, passed down through the generations to come. In Li Mingyu's generation, he..."
Xu Jidao fell silent and didn't continue the topic. He simply said, "I cultivate the way of cause and effect. This cause and effect flower is in line with my great way. I have studied it before. If the holder wants to obtain a desired result, they can first plant a cause, and then they will get the result. However, each holder only has one chance..."
Seeing Pei Yun still looking at him with a puzzled expression, Xu Jidao explained, "...Back then, Li Mingyu planted the cause in order to send me back to Haoyu Continent. I eventually returned to Haoyu Continent with the cause-effect flower. This is the effect, the outcome he hoped for. And in order to help Yuanxing overcome the disaster and cultivate the descendants of the Chu family, I also planted the cause. Now you are helping me complete this effect..."
Pei Yun vaguely understood, but she asked, "How can I sow the seeds and reap the fruits I desire?"
Xu Jidao smiled faintly, his tone becoming more profound and unfathomable: "You've asked the right question, but I can't explain it. This 'cause' is God's will. If I tell you now, this 'cause' will no longer be a 'cause'. 'Cause' can only follow fate. You just need to know that when you think about the 'effect' in your heart, the 'cause' will appear..."
Pei Yun nodded, pondering Xu Jidao's words in his heart, and asked curiously, "Senior Xu, now that you have resolved the disaster of Yuanxing, and specially sent another consciousness to Chu Zewen to cultivate him, does this mean that you have already repaid Chu Mingyu for this fruit?"
Hearing this, Xu Jidao's expression changed slightly. He turned his back to Pei Yun, looked at the back garden outside the window, and remained silent.
Although the other party didn't say anything, Pei Yun felt a deep sadness in Xu Jidao, and his straight back even hunched slightly for a moment.
Xu Jidao stared blankly ahead, lost in thought, as memories of the past seemed to resurface before him—
When he was young, Xu Jidao sat alone in the garden of the welfare home, watching other children happily playing on the slide. He had eager eyes but did not dare to step forward to join in.
At this time, a young man walked towards him. When the other children saw him, they all called out, "Dean."
The man greeted them warmly, then sat down next to Xu Jidao and said with a doting smile, "Why don't you play with them?"
"...They hate me!" Xu Jidao was only seven years old, but his face was gloomy and unbelievable for his age. He lowered his head and said in inferiority, "No one likes me..."
"Xu Jidao, I like you."
Xu Jidao raised his head in surprise, and saw the man smiling at him gently, his eyes twinkling like stars, and said something he couldn't understand at the time: "Jidao, I came here just for you..."
……
After a long time, the sunlight from the window shone in, and the figure of him who was originally standing in the shadows became brighter. He turned his head to look at Pei Yun. The sunlight reflected on his handsome face. His smiling expression revealed a hint of determination. He said: "...This time it's my turn to find him. I will find him no matter what. Our cause and effect cannot be broken..."
……
At this time, a day and a night had passed since Pei Yun entered the palace. The people outside the barrier became more and more agitated, and some began to attack the light barrier frantically.
Xianxia Sect's Sect Master Han asked an elder who was proficient in formations with concern: "What's going on? When can this barrier be broken?"
"Master, the barrier's effectiveness has weakened. It will definitely be broken within three days at the latest..."
As soon as the elder finished speaking, the dazzling light barrier suddenly dimmed, and the light disappeared after a moment!
Everyone present was stunned at first, then overjoyed, and rushed to the palace.
"The barrier has been broken! Let's rush in!"
"Go in and capture that woman. She must have some treasure on her..."
"I want to see which powerful person's cave is hidden here..."
Luo Rufeng saw the madness of the people around him, and his heart sank slightly. He followed closely and rushed in...
Unfortunately, the palace was empty, all the treasures that could be taken were taken away by Pei Yun, and the consciousness of the Jidao Patriarch had completely dissipated!
When everyone saw the teleportation array in the palace, they couldn't help but curse -
"Damn it! She actually got away!"
"The owner of this cave is really thoughtful..."
The two leaders of Xianxia Sect and Bishui Sect ordered their subordinates to start searching immediately and make sure to find Pei Yun's whereabouts. They had already used the shadow talisman to record Pei Yun's appearance.
The entire palace, including the spiritual garden behind it, was searched many times by those present. After confirming that there were no treasures, most of the monks left with sighs, leaving only a small number of people who refused to give up.
Luo Rufeng was also among them. He stood in front of the teleportation array, wondering where the teleportation array would send Pei Yun. Unfortunately, the teleportation array had been destroyed.
At this moment, a hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Luo Rufeng's wrist!
The cultivator's instinct made Luo Rufeng's body tense up in an instant, but before he could move, he smelled a faint fragrance, a familiar feeling.
Without a word, Luo Rufeng turned the passive position into active one, twisted his wrist and clasped the other person's hand. The next moment, he was brought into the space by the person in front of him...
Before Luo Rufeng could even open his mouth, the person in front of him stood on tiptoe and kissed him. His longing for her completely burst out at this moment. He put one arm around her slender waist and stroked her hair with the other, kissing her deeply...
After a long while, the two reluctantly separated. Pei Yun raised his hand and caressed Luo Rufeng's face. His eyes were as bright as stars, and his tone was filled with longing and attachment. He called out softly, "Rufeng, I'm back..."
"Hmm..." Luo Rufeng stared at the person in front of him without taking his eyes off him, revealing a rare strong possessiveness in his eyes, "Where have you been?"
Pei Yun began her story by telling the story of how she was invited by Duanmu Xu to participate in the treasure hunt, and then...
Luo Rufeng was jealous! Angry! He ignored her!
Pei Yun circled around Luo Rufeng, who sat under the Wisdom Tree with a sullen face and remained silent, explaining, "...I already have you, so why would I get entangled with other men? Chu Zewen is just a junior I want to train. Even if I don't train him, the Great Dao Ancestor will train him..."
"...I also heard from others that he likes me. He hasn't expressed his feelings to me, nor has he done anything inappropriate. I can't take the initiative to expose his feelings!"
Luo Rufeng opened his eyes and looked at Pei Yun, his tone hinting at danger: "You want him to express his feelings to you?"
"of course not."
"Then why did you accompany him to watch the fireworks?" Luo Rufeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of sourness in his words.
"...I was watching it with my friends from Yuanxing. This is the traditional custom of celebrating the New Year on their planet." Pei Yun defended.
However, Luo Rufeng closed his eyes again, as if turning a deaf ear to her explanation.
Pei Yun stared angrily at the jealous man, but what could she do? Of course, she had to coax her own Taoist partner herself!
Pei Yun didn't even have time to look at the treasures she had obtained from the Jidao Patriarch. After thinking for a moment, she came behind Luo Rufeng, put her arms around the man's neck, put her cheek against his, and whispered in his ear, "Luo Rufeng, don't be angry!"
As he spoke, his breath gently blew on Luo Rufeng's earlobe, and sure enough, his earlobe turned slightly red. Pei Yun smiled proudly and kissed his earlobe from time to time.
Luo Rufeng felt a soft, moist touch on his ears. He stopped practicing and suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes darkened and his voice was a little hoarse: "Come here."
Pei Yun heard that his tone was no longer as stiff as before, and knew that he had calmed down.
She smiled slyly, came to him and sat on his lap, hugged his neck again, and when she was about to speak, she met his eyes, which were filled with uncontrollable lust.
Luo Rufeng domineeringly picked up the person in his arms. Pei Yun was stunned at first, then shyly buried her head in his arms, letting him carry her towards the tower...
The little ginseng and treasure-hunting rat playing in the spiritual field were immediately drawn to their master's approach to the tower. They tried to follow him with their short legs, but before they got close, they heard a "click" and the door was closed. A moment later, the curtains of the bed were lowered...
