I’ve Reloaded the Save File! [Transmigration] 45

45: Together

Yun Yu’s silence was very short, only about three breaths. Then she spoke, “Master, I heard that you seemed unhappy when you left the City Lord’s Mansion. Did something happen?”

Xuan Shuang’s fingers twitched slightly, then she pretended that nothing had happened and picked up the teapot on the table, pouring a seven-tenths full cup of tea for both of them.

“No, I just discussed some things with the city lord,” Xuan Shuang said. “Those cultivators who have lost their minds are a bit difficult to handle. I need to ask the elders of the Elixir Pavilion to come and take a look.”

“Is it very tricky?” Yun Yu frowned. “Do those medical cultivators in the city have no solution?”

Xuan Shuang hesitated for a moment. “It’s not that there’s no solution at all, it’s just…”

“The solution is inhumane?” Yun Yu guessed. If it were just a problem with medicinal herbs, Master wouldn’t have such an expression. If there was simply no way, Master wouldn’t be unable to say it.

“Not really, it’s just too time-consuming and laborious,” Xuan Shuang had no intention of telling Yun Yu the method Xuan Min had proposed, because she knew that as long as she said it, Yun Yu would definitely follow her closely and not give her a chance to act.

But Yun Yu was not so easy to fool. She had been by Xuan Shuang’s side for over a hundred years. In truth, Yun Yu might know her better than Xuan Shuang knew herself. Moreover, Xuan Shuang was not good at hiding her emotions, so Yun Yu saw through her at once.

“Master, you don’t want us to take risks, and likewise, I… and my junior sisters, also don’t want anything to happen to you,” Yun Yu said. “Besides, Little Junior Sister is so mischievous. If anything happens to you, there will be no one to clean up her mess.”

“You also know, Master, that Little Junior Sister’s personality is prone to causing trouble. I may not be able to protect her,” In order to provoke Xuan Shuang, Yun Yu could only shamelessly throw the blame on Zuo Wuyi.

The moment Yun Yu’s words came out, Xuan Shuang began to waver. She could not care about being eroded by demonic energy for a few days, or even losing some cultivation, but she could not let her disciples take risks.

Especially her little disciple. With such good talent, if anything went wrong, it would not only be a loss for the Inquiring Dao Sect, but also for the entire cultivation world.

It seems I guessed right. Seeing the hesitant look on her master’s face, Yun Yu slowly let out a breath. “Master, from today until the day you return to the sect, I will follow you.”

“No need, I have my own sense of propriety,” Xuan Shuang subconsciously refused.

“But Master, I’m scared. I need you to protect me,” Yun Yu said with a straight face. “I’m worried that the demons will make a comeback. If I’m not with you, Master, you might not even know if I’m killed by a demon.”

“With me here, I won’t let such a thing happen,” Xuan Shuang frowned slightly. “The guards of Nanfeng City are not just for show. It’s not so easy for the demons to sneak in.”

“But, what if a very powerful demon comes?” The expression on Yun Yu’s face softened. She recalled how her little junior sister looked when she was acting pitiful and tried to imitate her, looking at her master with pleading eyes.

“Didn’t we not completely eliminate Zhong Huai before? What if he goes to the Demon Realm to complain and asks a powerful Spirit Transformation stage demon to deal with us?” Yun Yu said, trying hard to make her eyes red.

Is Yun Yu about to cry? Xuan Shuang was at a loss for a moment. She didn’t seem to have ever seen her eldest disciple show such a fragile expression.

“Don’t cry…” Xuan Shuang didn’t know how to comfort Yun Yu. After all, Yun Yu had always been a mature and steady eldest disciple in her eyes, not like today, with red eyes, telling her she was scared and asking for her protection.

“Master, I’m not crying,” This was also the first time Yun Yu had acted pitiful. At first, she was very shy, but after seeing Xuan Shuang’s helpless expression and softened attitude, she instantly felt no burden.

So what if I lose face? As long as I can stay, I don’t care about this face!

As she spoke, Yun Yu sniffled, trying hard to hold back the few tears she had managed to squeeze out. “I was out of line just now. If you have something to do, Master, I won’t disturb you.”

Playing hard to get. This way, Master will think she’s an even more well-behaved, pitiful, and helpless disciple.

“Yun Yu…” Xuan Shuang opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what was appropriate. After a moment of conflict, she could only brace herself and say, “If you’re scared, then you can stay for now. My room is very big, enough for two people to cultivate.”

“Won’t that disturb your cultivation, Master?” Yun Yu asked, the redness in her eyes not yet faded.

“It’s no matter. You… can stay,” Xuan Shuang said, sighing in her heart. Why did she feel like she had fallen into a trap? It must be her imagination, right?

“Then Master, can I get a little closer to you?” Yun Yu said, lowering her head. “Master, I miss my childhood so much. At that time, Master was still willing to sleep in the same bed with me, not like now…”

When Yun Yu had become Xuan Shuang’s disciple, she was actually no longer a child. She remembered the details of some things very clearly.

Whether it was the two of them sleeping in the same bed, or the rare occasion of them soaking in the spirit spring together, she remembered it all in her heart and would recall it whenever she felt lonely.

Sleeping together? Xuan Shuang inevitably thought of what Yun Yu had said to her before, and her heart began to hesitate again.

“Master, is it not okay?” Yun Yu still kept her head down, her voice trembling as she spoke. “That’s right. Now Master is no longer my master alone, and I am not your only disciple.”

Xuan Shuang couldn’t bear to see people acting pitiful, especially when the person acting pitiful was Yun Yu. Her heart wavered as she hesitated. For a moment, she thought that Yun Yu had some inappropriate thoughts about her and that she should stay away from her.

But then she would think that Yun Yu had also grown up under her watch. If she didn’t allow it, she wouldn’t dare to act recklessly. Not to mention that there was a big gap in their cultivation. Even if Yun Yu wanted to do something, she could completely stop her.

After speaking, Yun Yu did not open her mouth again. Some words would lose their meaning if said too much. She had done all she could. Now she just had to wait for the result.

The room fell into a long silence. Neither Yun Yu nor Xuan Shuang spoke. But Yun Yu was not worried at all, because she knew that the longer her master hesitated, the more likely she was to agree.

After an unknown amount of time, Xuan Shuang’s sigh was heard in the room. “If you want to be together, then so be it. As you wish.”

“Master,” Yun Yu looked up with a touched expression, her heart filled with ecstasy.

On the third day after the beast tide had subsided, Qiu Wu felt that the city was no longer dangerous. She took her wallet and went out to the commercial district to continue to search for some strange materials, wanting to develop a small gadget that could quickly identify demonic energy.

Hearing Qiu Wu’s plan, Yun He expressed her full support and directly became Qiu Wu’s little tail, following her wherever she went.

All four of them had a place to go, so there was no need to mention Mo Xiao and Zuo Wuyi. Although they had moved to a better inn and had a spare room, the two of them still lived together, and no one felt that there was a problem.

“Mo Xiao, why are you cultivating again?” Zuo Wuyi leaned lazily on a chair, boredly watching Mo Xiao who was studying sword moves. “Can’t you just talk to me?”

“What do you want to talk about?” Mo Xiao asked, but her gaze did not leave the jade slip. Her current cultivation was still too low. If Xuan Min really wanted to attack Zuo Wuyi, she could only run away with her.

“I don’t want to talk about anything. I just want to chat with you,” Zuo Wuyi leaned for a while and felt her back was a little stiff. She leaned forward and lay on the table.

“Aren’t I chatting with you now?” Mo Xiao said, her gaze finally leaving the jade slip. “If you’re bored, I can teach you some sword moves.”

“No,” Zuo Wuyi refused.

“Then what do you want to do?” Mo Xiao put away the jade slip and sat on the chair next to Zuo Wuyi.

Zuo Wuyi puffed out her cheeks. “Mo Xiao, what did we do when we were free in the past?”

In the past? Mo Xiao recalled. In the past, the two of them had been separated for a while after graduation. After Zuo Wuyi returned to the country, she basically went to the research institute every day, and Zuo Wuyi also stayed at the company every day. They rarely had free time together.

If they were both free, the first thing they would do seemed to be… to let loose. After they were both exhausted, they would go to the bathroom to take a shower, then put on comfortable clothes and lie on the bed or sofa to watch a movie?

But, this should be a world that was more like ancient times. There were no movies.

“Do you want to watch a play? There seems to be a theater in the city,” Mo Xiao carefully compared and then made a suggestion. “Or should we go and explore a secret realm?”

“Watch a play?” Zuo Wuyi’s brows knitted so tightly they were almost in a knot. “Isn’t watching a play boring?”

“Isn’t watching a play similar to watching a movie?” Mo Xiao didn’t quite understand. “Or, I can take you to see an acrobatics performance?”

“Then why don’t you just take me to farm? That way we can also experience life!” Zuo Wuyi couldn’t help but complain. Did Mo Xiao not understand her meaning at all?

Mo Xiao thought about it seriously and said, “It’s the harvest season now. You can only harvest, not plant.”

“…” Zuo Wuyi was choked for a moment. “Forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

As she spoke, Zuo Wuyi was about to stand up and go for a walk outside, but then she found that her hand was being held. Following the direction of the hand, she met Mo Xiao’s gaze again.

“What?” Zuo Wuyi asked.

“Where do you want to go? I’ll go with you,” Mo Xiao said. Although she didn’t know why, she could feel that Zuo Wuyi’s mood was not very good. Could it be that her period was here?

Mo Xiao fell into a brief thought. Although guiding qi into the body could solve the trouble of menstruation, from a physiological point of view, certain physiological behaviors were still ongoing, and the impact on emotions should also be there.

“You know to accompany me now?” Zuo Wuyi snorted lightly, her dissatisfaction decreasing a little. “I want to eat something. I want to eat cream cake.”

“Then let’s go and buy the ingredients and make it ourselves?” Hearing Zuo Wuyi’s words, Mo Xiao was certain. Wanting to eat sweets, liking to stick to her, and her temper becoming strange and fickle, this was definitely Zuo Wuyi on her period.

Usually during these few days, Mo Xiao would go along with Zuo Wuyi to avoid her feeling uncomfortable both physically and mentally.

“You’ll make it for me?” Zuo Wuyi asked. In her impression, Mo Xiao had only ever bought her cake.

Mo Xiao nodded. “Mhm, it’s not difficult to make a cake,” It was just using flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and some small ingredients.

“Alright, I want to eat what you make with your own hands!” Zuo Wuyi was instantly energized. The cake Mo Xiao made for her must be the most delicious cake!

“Alright, give me your hand,” Mo Xiao held out her hand.

Zuo Wuyi raised an eyebrow and placed her hand in Mo Xiao’s palm, waiting for her next move.

Mo Xiao did not speak, but lowered her head and kissed the back of her hand, then intertwined their fingers and held Zuo Wuyi’s hand.

Zuo Wuyi let out a “huh,” but the corners of her mouth were crazily turning up.

Really, just holding hands is fine. Why do you have to do all these fancy things? So cheesy~~~
