Opening Her Heart

Misty Cloud Sect.

A quiet courtyard.

Xie Tianxiao interlaced his fingers with Yun Yun's delicate hand. The two sat side by side in the pavilion, gazing at the boundless blue sky in relaxed comfort.

"Sect Leader Yun Yun, we haven't seen each other in quite some time. To be honest, I've missed you."

After a long while, Xie Tianxiao was the first to break the silence.

"I... I've missed you too, Tianxiao."

Hearing him speak so bluntly all of a sudden, Yun Yun's heart stirred, and a blush spread across her cheeks.

"Then, Sect Leader Yun Yun, have you found an answer to what I said before?"

"After all, quite a lot of time has passed since then."

Xie Tianxiao tilted his head slightly and looked at Yun Yun as he spoke slowly.

He truly needed an answer now. After all, he was a normal man too. He could only watch from afar and could not touch her up close.

Especially for an expert like Xie Tianxiao, who stood at the peak of the continent—could anyone understand that feeling?

"I..."

Thinking of that scene in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Yun Yun's heart began pounding faster and faster.

A strange feeling slowly rose within her heart.

"Yun Yun, are you still worried?"

Seeing her remain silent, Xie Tianxiao sighed softly, a trace of disappointment appearing in his eyes.

If it really came to that, he could only...

"No, no. It's just that I... I understand."

Yun Yun stammered for a long time, yet in the end, she still failed to explain herself clearly.

"How dull."

Xie Tianxiao frowned slightly. He then released her hand, turned around, and walked away.

"No, that's not it, Tianxiao!"

Yun Yun hurriedly tried to explain. Realizing that Xie Tianxiao seemed angry, she rushed after him.
