Chapter 589 - 293: Rekindled Romance

In the rear hall, Chu Xuan finally turned around and looked at the confused woman in front of him.

He sincerely said, "Ming Yu, you're a smart and perceptive person. You should hear that I'm not lying."

"The story between us is long and winding; the more intricate parts are still to come. If you like listening, I can tell it to you slowly."

Ji Mingyu frowned and looked at the man in front of her. For some reason, after hearing him speak so much, he didn't seem as annoying anymore.

But she refused to listen further, turning away, "Forget it, it's just a story, and I've heard enough."

"Soon, I'll leave here with my own strength. By then, we won't meet again."

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, "Are you a bit scared?"

"I understand. People are always like this, afraid of change, afraid of growth, afraid of a different environment, more afraid of suddenly liking someone."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, trying to take Ji Mingyu's hand, but she evaded him.

Ming Yu even pointed, conjuring an ice wall, splitting the rear hall in half, separating them without interference.

Chu Xuan was somewhat taken aback, but then he shook his head, simply sat down to meditate, and stopped telling stories.

At first, Ji Mingyu did the same, but she couldn't calm down. Until a little while later, she couldn't help but open her eyes and sneak a glance at Chu Xuan. Seeing that he really wasn't paying attention to her, she couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.

Soon after, Ming Yu furrowed her brow again. What's wrong with me? Could it be that I'm really being influenced by that guy?

Just as she secretly warned herself not to listen to his sweet words, Chu Xuan suddenly asked:

"Ming Yu, have you ever thought of taking me as a disciple?"

Ji Mingyu's face immediately stiffened, "First swear, bow a thousand times, serve me, follow my orders, and die a hundred times without regret, then I'll take you as a disciple."

Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh straightaway, almost rolling on the floor clutching his stomach.

This made Ming Yu angrily say, "What are you laughing at?"

"Do you still remember who said those sixteen words to you?"

Ji Mingyu was momentarily at a loss, and after searching her memory carefully, she really couldn't recall.

Chu Xuan reminded her, "Heavenly Dragon, Duan Yu, Goddess Sister."

Upon hearing this, Ming Yu held her head, feeling a headache but couldn't remember any related memories, so she just shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

"Be quiet, I don't want to talk to you."

Seeing the ice beauty covering her ears, Chu Xuan said unhurriedly, "Actually, you did take me as a disciple. Want to know under what circumstances it happened?"

Ji Mingyu became very curious, after all, according to Chu Xuan's previous descriptions, when he called himself the 'Celestial Evil Demon Venerable', he was still relatively arrogant, his cultivation not weaker than hers. How could he easily take her as a master?

This was unnecessary and illogical.

But after Chu Xuan had started this tale, he said no more and closed his eyes again.

This made Ji Mingyu so angry she wanted to stab him with a sword! This guy was doing it on purpose, stopping halfway when speaking.

Naturally, Ming Yu couldn't possibly beg him, so she just gave a cold snort and continued to meditate with her eyes closed.

So Chu Xuan smiled slightly and, in a gentle tone, began to tell the story of his battle death, resurrection, and memory loss, and how he was "picked up" by Ming Yu.

The initial warm and beautiful little stories between the master and disciple moved Ji Mingyu somewhat.

Although she felt that with her personality, she wouldn't actively "tease" a little disciple, Chu Xuan's detailed account drew her in unconsciously, occasionally causing her to smile knowingly.

Until the tone of the story took a drastic turn, Chu Xuan suddenly had his cultivation abolished, was expelled from the sect, heartbroken to death...

Ji Mingyu furrowed her brow, "Stop, stop, that's not how you tell a story. I'm not such an unreasonable woman."

Chu Xuan shook his head, "I thought the same initially, but you were that bad."

"I wasn't."

"You were."

And so, the two began "arguing" like this to prove whether Ji Mingyu was really that bad. This time, it was she who demanded Chu Xuan to "provide more details."

For the next three days, Chu Xuan kept accompanying Ming Yu in reminiscing about the past, during which their distance gradually closed... 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

...

When King Qinguang hurriedly came from the front hall, he coincidentally saw Chu Xuan holding Ji Mingyu's small hand, strolling and humming a song to her.

Upon seeing an outsider arrive, Ji Mingyu's expression subtly changed, immediately distancing herself from Chu Xuan, looking like "I'm not familiar with him."

King Qinguang appeared to understand and didn't expose them, just cupped his hands to Chu Xuan and said:

"Immortal, the three medicines have all been found."

Chu Xuan was quite surprised, "Didn't you say it would take about ten days? How is it so fast?"

"This time we were lucky. Our people went deep into the Ghost Realm to search and haven't found them so quickly, but a colleague from the underworld suddenly said she had this medicine, so I paid a big price to buy it from her."

"Oh? Which Netherworld deity might that be?" Chu Xuan asked curiously.

"Well," King Qinguang coughed, "the one currently serving as Granny Meng."

"Huh? Didn't she seem very angry before? How come she's voluntarily helping now?" Chu Xuan had initially thought that after Ming Yu's memories were restored, he'd take her to apologize to Granny Meng.

"Maybe her anger has subsided, and Miss Zhu is now brewing the medicine and will deliver it herself later."

Ji Mingyu, hearing this, looked doubtful, "She wouldn't put poison in the medicine, would she? I'm not drinking it."

King Qinguang waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, you can rest assured."
