Shizun, Misunderstood this Disciple As a Hero. [bl]

Chapter 13

[Shizun, i will tell you my confession some other time.]

"Happy new year shizun."

"Happy new year, Yun lixin" Xiu qiangshu smiled, his eyes turning crescent shape.

If Xiu qiangshu was in his orignal world, he would be the same age as Yun lixin. Though his body in this world was older than Yun lixin, his soul was the same age as him.

"This is what I wanted to show you. And this is why I was late, i wanted to find the best place for this view, and i found it here." Yun lixin admitted. "I always noticed you loved sight viewing, so i thought this would be a good gift."

"This is awesome, i love it." Xiu qiangshu smiled. Yun lixin gave a satisfied grin.

"Shizun, do you know why this cherry blossom is so special? It's my comfort place too." Yun lixin kept his hand on the tree trunk which was withered, and had many wrinkles upon it.

"Why?" Asked Xiu qiangshu with curiousity.

"When demons and humans coexisted peacefully with each other, this tree grew when there was no possibility of anything growing here. But this cherry blossom tree somehow grew and stood alone between the demon and human realm. Its petal had a magnificent color, with powerful spiritual energy. When they petals grew, people could come here and cultivate to enhance their cultivation skills, it helped them succeed in life, even those who had a weak core. They could use these petals as a powerful herb to heal them." Yun lixin's face was dark, with sad eyes.

"The petals grew every five years, but for many years no one has seen it grow it's petals. Some even say that it was a myth that it could grow it's petal others say it must have stopped growing because of it's old age. But legends say, it will grow it's petals once demons and humans coexist peacefully again, like they used too centuries ago, the petals grow to show it's love to the demons and humans and reflect their relationship by growing it's beautiful petals. But some say.." yun lixin's eyes brightened up as he stared at Xiu qiangshu

"When a person confesses his love to whom he loves, these petals would grow it proves that they are soulmates, and that they truly love each other. This tree blesses them and those lovers who are blessed stay together for many lifetimes." Yun lixin gave a fonding gaze at Xiu qiangshu.

Xiu qiangshu was confused as to what he had to with this information. As sudden thought crossed his mind, 'Did Yun lixin expect him to help him make demons and humans coexist like they used to centuries ago? Was this his plan?'

"So i want to check whether this Myth is true or not." Yun lixin smiled.

"By making demons and human coexist peacefully?" Xiu qiangshu asked, puzzled.

Yun lixin chuckled, shaking his head, "No shizun." Yun lixin suddenly pulled out a folded fan, and passed it to Xiu qiangshu. "This is a gift for you. "

Xiu qiangshu observed it and unfolded the fan, it had a attractive pink cherry blossom design on it. Xiu qiangshu's eyes widened as he realized something. "Isn't this an artifact?"

These artifact would help a cultivator increase his spiritual power and his fighting skills. This artifact wasn't chosen by the people but it chose those people. But why was Yun lixin giving him such a rare and precious artifact? The artifact wouldn't even choose Xiu qiangshu for sure.

"Yes shizun. But i don't mind it. This artifact chose me, but i want to give it to you." Yun lixin's eyes became crescent.

"But it chose you and not me, wouldn't it be useless then?"

"Try it, shizun."

Xiu qiangshu slowly fanned in the air, nothing happened. Suddenly his spiritual power surged through the fan, Xiu qiangshu threw his fan across him, it flew and came back to him with a speed.

The artifact chose him.

"See! It chose you shizun!"

Though it looked girlish, it was useful and had much power than his sword, Xiu qiangshu also did like it. He couldn't say no to a gift can he? "I love it. Thank you, Yun lixin." Xiu Qiangshu gave a smile, he seemed to have remembered something as he pulled out the Rose Quartz tassel from his sword and attached it to his folding fan, which made Yun lixin very happy.

"Shizun, What do you think of marry someone?" Xiu qiangshu froze at the question, taken aback. 'What's with Yun lixin talking about love and stuff?' Xiu qiangshu never received love from anyone and so he was awkward about it. He even hated it.

"As you know, Immortals aren't allowed to marry." Xiu qiangshu responded in a cold tone.

"But, other immortals do marry right? So why can't you?"

"I have dedicated myself to people. I'm not interested in anyone." Yun lixin felt disheartened as Xiu qiangshu said this. But a little hope was left in his heart, maybe he was an acception.

"Shizun, i must confess to you something."

"Hm?"

Yun lixin took a deep breath, bracing himself for whatever Xiu qiangshu's reaction was after this, but he must say this right now. But he was also afraid that their relationship of right now would be ruined, if he confessed then he might see the old shizun, his cold piercing expression and his cold ignorance and ruthlessness in teaching his disciples..espeically him. What if his shizun acted the same way again like he used to in the past before he starting treating him kindly?

He stared at Xiu qiangshu who had his eyes fixed on him, awaiting for his confession. His delicate face as he fanned himself slowly with the folding fan that Yun lixin had given him.

"Shizun, you're the only one who treats me with kindness and understands me. I'm an outcast for everyone. And whenever I'm alone, my thoughts are always filled with you. As days passed and i spent my days with you, i realized that i.." As Yun lixin confessed, his voice became faint as fireworks flew in the sky, sparks of different colors which represented different sects was in the sky from the human realm. Just then there was a loud sound heard, which the cultivators called a siren, made from a conch (seashell horn).

"Shit." Xiu qiangshu cursed under his breath. This was a bad sign. Something was wrong. Yun lixin seemed to have realized it too and stopped mid sentence. Xiu qiangshu pulled out his sword and pointed towards Yun lixin. Yun lixin's eyes widened, puzzled.

"What-" Yun lixin was pulled towards Xiu qiangshu as Xiu qiangshu's sword pierced a demon behind Yun lixin. He let out a relieved breath, he had thought his shizun tried killing him, How funny. But this isn't the right time to joke. Yun lixin was a bit upset that he couldn't complete his confession but there was always time to tell his feelings, next time he would surely confess to him. But now wasn't the right time.

The ground suddenly rumbled as it slowly moved, the cracks that separated the demon and human realm opened and widened.

Xiu qiangshu's eyes went wide at the realization as he whispered staring at the widened cracks, lava was boiling which was deep inside those cracks, painful screams and whispers of the dead and the demons was heard from the lava, "The abyss."

This was what Xiu qiangshu was most afraid of, The war had started.
