"What's wrong?" Noticing that the young lady's eyes were slightly reddened, as if she had just cried a moment ago, Zhang Xuan frowned.
While Luo Qiqi's confession had made the relationship between the two of them slightly awkward, he would not hesitate to strike down anyone who dared bully his student!
"It's nothing much..." Luo Qiqi's eyes seemed to dim for a moment before she raised her head once more and replied with a smile. "I just want to spend some time with you, Teacher."
"Ah... Alright then!" Seeing that Luo Qiqi had something weighing on her mind, Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before eventually nodding.
It was inevitable for those too outstanding to be fancied by others. As long as he maintained an appropriate distance between the two of them, there was no issue with them spending some time together.
As long as he conducted himself correctly and made his intentions clear, it would only be a matter of time before the other party dispelled her thoughts. On the other hand, if he continued avoiding her, it would only cause her mind to wander, and that could prove to be dangerous.
Hearing Zhang Xuan's consent, Luo Qiqi's face lit up in delight. "Then... shall we find a quiet place? It's a little noisy over here!"
Be it the Combat Master Hall or the Xuanxuan Faction, they were filled with familiar faces. It was indeed a little inconvenient.
Thus, Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.
The duo took flight, and before long, they landed at the top of a mountain right outside Qingyuan City.
Sitting on a boulder near the cliff, Luo Qiqi gazed intently at the bustling Qingyuan City, seemingly pondering over something.
A mountainous breeze tussled her hair, pulling some strands over her impeccable face. Yet, this slight imperfection seemed to be perfect in its own way as well.
Admittedly, the young lady was indeed very beautiful, and her beauty was not just limited to her exterior. She had a calming disposition that placed those around her at ease as well, making it very comfortable to be around her.
Facing young lady's queer silence, Zhang Xuan asked with a frown, "Is there something on your mind? As long as it's within my means, I'll try my best to help you."
There was no doubt that the young lady had some worries on her mind, but there was nothing he could do about it if the latter refused to speak.
"It's nothing much. It's just that I suddenly remembered some things from my childhood." Luo Qiqi smiled as she quietly gazed down at Qingyuan City. "When I was younger, I liked to spend my time idly sitting on the rooftop and watching the sunrise and sunset, as well as the birds that fluttered their wings freely in the sky. Somehow, that brought me great joy as a child.
"There was one time when I found myself deeply desiring an artifact. I really wanted it a lot, so I pestered my father to get it for me. In the face of my relentless pleas, my father eventually caved in. However, he said that he would only give it to me after I mastered a cultivation technique, so I frantically cultivated, regardless of day or night. A year later, I finally succeeded! My father did not renege on our promise either, and he gave the artifact to me.
"I can still remember how happy I was the day I received the artifact. It was something that I had acquired through my hard work. I brought it around with me everyday, hugging it to sleep even. But on one occasion, while I was fighting with another, it broke. I was truly heartbroken, and I wept for three whole days. My father found an identical one to comfort me, and it was really the same no matter how one looked at it. But for some reason, I no longer wanted it."
