This probably wouldn't affect my senior-year standardized PE exam score, would it?
Xue Yi smiled. "Isn't it a little late to ask that now?"
She paused, then said, "Having only half a heart will only affect your advancement through cultivation stages. After all, a cultivator's heart houses the state of mind they cultivate. Apart from that, there are no other drawbacks."
Chi Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Good, it wouldn't affect his exam score.
But if I can't ascend, how am I going to get back?-
I won't think about that yet. There'll be a way when the time comes.
Half the heart returned to Chi Yu's chest. As for the remaining half, he asked, "Senior, do I press this half into his chest, just like you did to me?"
Xue Yi said, "You could also knead it into a pill and have him swallow it."
Faced with Chi Yu's starry eyes, she could not help laughing. She helped him once more, squeezing that bright red heart into a snow-white pill.
She sighed. "Most cultivators in this world are cold and fickle, and yet..."
She did not finish. Remembering something else, she said, "You think your Senior Brother Xuanji treats you like an older brother or a father would, but do you know that his feelings go beyond that?"
Chi Yu froze. "How do you know about that too?"
Xue Yi looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "You knew?"
Chi Yu flushed and cleared his throat. "...So how did you find out, Senior?"
Xue Yi said nothing, merely returning that lost stretch of memory to him.
Chi Yu gaped. "...This, this is Senior Brother Xuanji??"
