Chapter 63
Sometimes Li Zi even felt that this Divine Bone seemed to have developed its own intelligence and made a lot of efforts to prevent its master from dying.
While eagerly pursuing power, Li Zi noticed that the atmosphere in the Flame Hall had been somewhat strange lately.
On her way to the Gravity Body Tempering Pavilion as usual, the disciples who used to train their leg skills everywhere in the Sect were nowhere to be seen.
The once crowded arena is now completely empty.
The familiar sounds of martial arts practice have disappeared.
At this moment, a large group of disciples ran forward.
"Go quick! Senior Brother Ai Feng confessed his feelings to Junior Sister Luo Xiaohe! It's causing quite a stir!"
Upon hearing someone confess their feelings, Li Zi up.
She jogged all the way to the mountain peak where the inner disciples of the sect lived.
A large number of the Sect disciples had already gathered here, crowding together to cheer and watch the disciple who was confessing her love.
Li Zi his Sword Flight into the air to watch the spectacle.
Ai Feng was a handsome man with large ears. At this moment, his face was flushed as he handed a bouquet of flowers to the female disciple opposite him.
"I... I like you. Will you be my dao companion?"
The female disciple blushed deeply with embarrassment and slowly reached out to take the bouquet.
A commotion erupted from the surrounding crowd.
"Together!"
"Together!"
Finally, amidst everyone's blessings, the two embraced each other emotionally.
Li Zi also clapped happily.
I never expected to see this scene in the Cultivation World; it feels like stepping back into the modern world.
Having enjoyed the show, she happily rode her Sword Flight towards the Gravity Body Tempering Pavilion.
Along the way, she encountered several inner disciple who greeted her with smiles.
There were also disciples among them who had witnessed the spectacle; their smiles held a hint of gratitude and elation.
If Li Zi hadn't been clear about her own position, she would have thought she was just an eight-year-old toddler, and she almost thought this male disciple had a crush on her.
Upon arriving at the main hall of the Gravity Body Tempering Pavilion, one finds that a considerable number of people have already gathered there.
Huo Rui was chatting enthusiastically with some of them when she saw Li Zi over, and immediately pulled her over to introduce her to them.
However, as soon as Li Zi approached, these people all fled as if they had seen a ghost.
Li Zi, "..."
She looked at Huo Rui with a blank expression, "Sister Rui, are they very busy?"
Huo Rui glared at the slowest runner, then turned to Li Zi and smiled.
"Yes, they're all busy cultivating. My senior brothers don't come back to the Sect much; they spend most of their time cultivating outside."
Li Zi nodded. "Their Cultivation is very high."
As a Qi Refining Stage, she had absolutely no way of discerning these people's Cultivation.
However, Huo Rui is at the Golden Core Stage, and they are Huo Rui's senior brothers and sisters, Cultivation at least at the Golden Core Stage.
Huo Rui said, "Yes, they're almost at the Nascent Soul."
After parting ways with Huo Rui, Li Zi returned to the stone house on the First Floor.
Having just settled down and begun circulating her internal Cultivation Method, she yawned out of boredom.
[System, do you have any fresh melons I can eat?]
On the seventh day after Wen Yun was hung on the back mountain and whipped, Huo Fei finally emerged from seclusion.
The moment the door to the Seclusion Chamber opened, Gong Lin rushed in and embraced the emaciated woman.
Huo Fei's youthful beauty was long gone; her cheekbones were sunken, her hair was dry and yellow, and she was emaciated, like a withered old woman on her deathbed.
His skin had lost its luster, and his clothes hung loosely on his thin body.
The First Elder of the Flame Hall outside all bowed respectfully.
"Welcome back, Sect Master, from seclusion."
Huo Fei remained seated cross-legged, her body seemingly stiff and unable to move.
She opened her lifeless eyes, saw Gong Lin in front of her, and seemed somewhat dazed, her voice hoarse.
"I think I heard Wen Yun's voice?"
She uttered the words with difficulty, one by one.
Gong Lin held her as if she were a priceless treasure that had been lost and found again, his fingertips gently touching her withered cheeks, not daring to use force, for fear of hurting her delicate skin.
"It's him, Junior Sister. I've brought him here to atone for your sins. Do you like it?"
Huo Fei lowered her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Gong Lin hurriedly fed her a Medicinal Pill.
While helping her regulate her meridians and absorb the medicinal power, he recounted the events that had occurred during this period.
Huo Fei's body was very weak. She had been trapped in the illusory world for too long, and her bodily functions had deteriorated.
She was still a little overwhelmed by what Gong Lin said.
"Did everyone in the Cultivation World know about what happened back then? Did they know Wen Yun's true colors?"
It really feels like a dream.
That beast in human form will one day meet the same end!
The elders told Huo Fei about being able to hear Li Zi thoughts and about the confidentiality agreement with other Sect.
After a few days of recuperation, Huo Fei's mental state improved somewhat, but her overall Cultivation had dropped significantly.
Gong Lin decided to take her to the Martial Secret Realm to find Huo Fei's fortuitous opportunity.
Before leaving, Huo Fei wanted to see Li Zi.
Gong Lin put his arm around her waist and carefully protected her. The two of them leaned on each other as they arrived at the Gravity Body Tempering Pavilion.
Li Zi was still struggling to hold on in the Body Tempering Pavilion when she fainted from the pain once again, collapsing unconscious in the Stone Chamber.
After several days of recuperation, Huo Fei has gained some weight and her skin has regained some vitality.
Looking at the unconscious Li Zi, she couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head.
"What a diligent child!"
Gong Lin frowned. "She has a High Antiquity Divine Bone like the Myriad Flower Divine Bone within her, and she seems to always feel insecure, always feeling that Ran Zirou will try to steal it, so she cultivates very diligently."
