When Bai Luo Xue saw Jianxin, she froze on the spot, her breathing slowed, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears, as if they would burst forth like a dam breaking at any moment.
"Sword... heart..." Bai Luo Xue whispered, her voice trembling with joy. Then, without hesitation, she got up and ran all the way to Jianxin's embrace.
"Holy crap, my goddess!" This scene left the male disciples in the arena dumbfounded, feeling extremely distressed and unwilling to believe that their goddess would take the initiative to throw herself into a man's arms.
Bai Luo Xue is quite famous in the Yingtian Academy. Basically, every disciple of the Yingtian Academy knows her. This is mainly because Bai Luo Xue has an exceptionally talented cultivation ability and is very powerful. She is now a powerful Immortal Sovereign Realm!
With such formidable strength, she was truly exceptional within the entire Yingtian Academy, with few rivals to her. Furthermore, Bai Luo Xue's outstanding appearance attracted the pursuit of countless male disciples, all of whom she rejected.
Bai Luo Xue explained that she was single-mindedly devoted to the Dao and had no interest in matters of the heart. The disciples understood and regarded her as a goddess, not daring to disrespect her.
But Bai Luo Xue's actions shocked everyone and broke the hearts of countless male disciples. They stared at Jianxin with gritted teeth. If looks could kill, Jianxin would probably be dead hundreds of times over.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Jianxin reached out and hugged Bai Luo Xue, his eyes full of apology and guilt, completely ignoring the stares of those around them.
"This kid." Xue Ya looked at Jianxin with surprise, her eyes filled with curiosity, and she became somewhat interested in him.
She knew Bai Luo Xue's personality better than anyone. She was usually aloof and rarely interacted with others. Apart from attending her classes, she focused on cultivation and kept to herself. She was cold and indifferent.
Therefore, Xue Ya did not expect that Bai Luo Xue would be so different in front of Jianxin, as if she were a completely different person.
"It's alright, I know. You've been trapped. You must have been very anxious all these years, right?" Bai Luo Xue said softly, tears streaming down her cheeks.
" Luo Xue." Upon hearing this, Jianxin felt even more guilty and distressed. With such an understanding woman, what more could a husband ask for? From now on, he would definitely protect Bai Luo Xue with his life and not let her suffer any harm.
"Ahem." At this moment, Xue Ya coughed lightly twice, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere, "You two, be mindful, class is still in session."
Bai Luo Xue's cheeks Hong Yun instantly, her beauty exquisite and captivating. She hastily broke free from Jianxin, lowered her head, and said shyly, "I'm sorry, Vice Dean Xue, I was just a little flustered and disturbed your class."
"It's nothing." Xue Ya smiled slightly, her gaze turning to Jianxin. "Who are you? To actually win Luo Xue's heart, that's quite remarkable."
"I..." Jianxin was a little embarrassed, and subconsciously scratched his head. After hesitating for a while, he said, "My name is Jianxin, and I've known Luo Xue for decades."
"Oh? I see. So how did you get into the academy? I don't remember anyone like you at the academy," Xue Ya said.
Jianxin explained his identity.
Upon hearing that Jianxin was Su Chen's disciple, Xue Ya was stunned. Even the disciples in the arena who wished they could tear Jianxin apart were dumbfounded. They never expected that Jianxin's identity was so extraordinary.
This immediately sent chills down the spines of the male disciples. No wonder this kid dared to ignore them; he had this kind of identity. They couldn't afford to offend him. Instantly, the hostility towards Jianxin in the arena lessened considerably.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering where this prodigy from our academy came from. If you're his disciple, then it makes sense. Alright, you two must have a lot to talk about now. Go on," Xue Ya said with a smile.
Jianxin and Bai Luo Xue looked grateful. They really wanted to have a private chat. After all, they hadn't seen each other for decades, Human Heart they had a lot to say to each other.
The two bid farewell to Xue Ya, left the Literary Institute, found a quiet place, and talked all night. It wasn't until the next day that they arrived at the bamboo forest, ready to go find Su Chen.
At this moment, every joint of Bai Luo Xue's body ached, especially her lower body, where a dull, indescribable pain throbbed. Her fair cheeks looked slightly tired, but the faint flush on her face seemed to be a trace of the passion of last night. In the morning light, she looked both beautiful and pitiful.
"Are you alright?" Jianxin supported Bai Luo Xue, feeling extremely guilty. He thought to himself that he should have been gentler last night, causing Bai Luo Xue to be in such discomfort today.
"It's nothing," Bai Luo Xue said with a smile.
"That's good." Jianxin breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the two of them went to the bamboo forest and saw Su Chen lying on a rocking chair.
Su Chen was still dressed in white, reading a book, while Qin Zixuan was massaging his shoulders behind him, looking quite comfortable.
The arrival of Jianxin and Bai Luo Xue caught Su Chen's attention. He looked up, first glancing at Bai Luo Xue, then looking at Jianxin with a meaningful expression, smiling without saying a word.
Qin Zixuan also turned her gaze towards him, showing no surprise. She simply observed Jianxin, because Su Chen had already told Qin Zixuan about Jianxin beforehand.
"Master!" Jianxin's expression was excited, seemingly out of guilt. He knelt down immediately, head bowed, "I'm sorry, Master, I have disappointed you."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Su Chen asked with a smile.
"I shouldn't have harbored resentment towards Master for not appearing to help me back then. I beg Master to punish me!" Jianxin said in a deep voice.
"Do you know why I didn't help you back then?" Su Chen said.
"I know, you want me to face these difficulties alone. I can't always rely on Master, otherwise I will develop a sense of dependency and no matter what I encounter, I won't think about solving it myself, but will think of Master first," Jianxin said.
"It's good that you understand. Get up." Su Chen nodded, a look of relief on his face.
"Master, you won't punish me?" Jianxin asked nervously.
"Punish you? Why should I punish you? In that situation, anyone would have harbored resentment. But if you haven't understood my good intentions over these decades, then I will punish you," Su Chen said.
"Master..." Jianxin was deeply moved, and tears streamed down his face.
"How old are you to still be crying? Don't make me look down on you," Su Chen said with a laugh.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Jianxin quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and then stood up.
Bai Luo Xue's previously anxious heart finally calmed down; she had been so nervous just now.
"You should know about the Genius Battle, right?" Su Chen asked.
" Luo Xue told me some of it," Jianxin nodded and said.
