My enemies became my companions

Chapter 612 Towards Southern Xinjiang (Two in One)

Yin Weiying has always been wary of Lu Ying.

Compared to his natural dislike for the silly girl Donggong Ruoshu, as if they were destined to be in conflict with each other, his feelings towards Lu Ying seemed more like an undercurrent of hostility.

The reason is simple. Although Lu Ying came from Yinjian Mountain, she is better at practicing Taoism rather than swordsmanship. She is also a fairy lady, but they are enemies in the same industry. Moreover, her master is Zhou Yitong. Finally, she is also Chen Yi's senior sister, and she seems to have a connection with him.

Despite the accumulation of old and new grudges from the past, Yin Weiying still treated others politely on the surface, but secretly he never had a good impression of Lu Ying.

Lu Ying came here to pay a visit more than once or twice. She had been visiting from time to time since Chen Yi was seriously injured. At the beginning, Yin Weiying was fine and treated the guest well, but as the number of visits increased, he became colder. Moreover, every time she came, she would ask about Chen Yi and even meet with Chen Yi in person, which always easily disturbed Yin Weiying.

As soon as Lu Ying arrived, after exchanging pleasantries, he went straight to the topic of Chen Yi.

"I think his injuries have almost healed these days, so I came to ask about his situation. I also have some pills to refine. If he accepts them, I will go back."

"In that case, Brother Lu, please leave the elixir here. I will pass it on to him. By the way, if he has any questions, just ask me."

The dispute initially arose from these two sentences.

Actually, although it was a dispute, the atmosphere was not very tense. It was just two or three sarcastic remarks. After all, the two were cultivators, so their character and demeanor were first-class. It was impossible for them to curse like ordinary people in the market.

But even so, even Chen Yi could hear the hostility hidden in the words.

"Back then, Fellow Daoist Yin once said that Yinjianshan had no good discipline and wanted to use his wisdom sword to cut off my feelings. Now that it's your turn, I can finally trouble you."

"If Daoist Brother Lu is bothering me, how can I refuse?" Yin Weiying paused, then smiled and said, "Of course I will lend a helping hand to Daoist Brother Lu."

Lu Ying raised his hand and said, "Okay, then please."

"You really want to?"

"Why not?" Lu Ying said with his eyelids lowered, "Once the ties of love are in the way, the bad karma continues, and the path of the great road becomes as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Having said that, Yin Weiying wanted to find the peach wood sword, so that he could cut off his feelings for Lu Ying and put an end to it once and for all. However, halfway through, he suddenly thought... could this be a trap set by Chen Yi?

The punishment that day was still vivid in her mind. When she thought of this, she shuddered and woke up instantly, becoming hesitant.

It is certainly a good thing to cut off Lu Ying's emotional thread, and the first disciple of Jianjia seems to have the same intention. However, this matter is a little strange, and Chen Yi will definitely know about it. Even if the emotional thread is really cut off, with Chen Yi's ability, it may not be impossible to make the emotional thread regenerate.

Just when she was hesitating whether to take action or not, Chen Yi came out from the backyard at the right time. Although she was unwilling to admit it, the nun still breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Chen Yi glanced at her.

With Lu Ying in front of her, Yin Weiying could not show any fear, but she could not look down on him as she did in the past. She could only try to be calm and said, "Daoyou Lu came to visit suddenly and asked me to cut off her love with my sword. I was undecided and wanted to come to you anyway. Now that you are here, it is just right."

Chen Yi had just overheard the argument, and he knew what had happened without Yin Weiying telling him. He didn't care about Yin Weiying's tone at the moment. The people of the Yin Dynasty always had two faces in front of others and behind their backs, and he had promised to protect her reputation.

Senior Sister Lu Ying was in front, and Chen Yi went over to her, preparing to say something. Unexpectedly, this time Lu Ying put the pill in his hand, then turned around and left.

Her actions were not very fast, but they were too smooth and too natural, leaving no chance for her to retain.

Chen Yi touched the porcelain bottle in his hand and was inevitably confused for a moment.

Yin Weiying was confused, but at the same time he grasped some kind of mystery that could only be understood by the heart, and he smiled with his lips curled.

"What's wrong with her?" Chen Yi turned his head and frowned.

"What can I do? I just don't want to get entangled too much." Yin Weiying gathered his sleeves and said calmly, "She has already realized the feelings in her heart and is just facing them. She is not far from breaking them off."

Chen Yi never liked the nun's tone, and at this moment he frowned slightly.

Sensing something was wrong from his subtle movements, Yin Weiying coughed lightly and said, "If a person's karma is too deep, he or she will easily become a demon in his or her heart. From then on, the road to heaven will be blocked everywhere. The closer you are to the seven emotions and eight sufferings, the farther you will be from ascending to heaven. I think she has realized from her repeated visits these days that she has a vague feeling for you and wants to cut it off. So today she deliberately provoked me to cut off her feelings and help her achieve enlightenment. This can also be considered a merit. Why not do it? And... husband, don't you... have that kind of relationship with her?"

Chen Yi neither nodded in affirmation nor denied it, but smiled and repeated one of her words, "Why not?"

Yin Weiying was silent for a moment.

He slowly approached, and her breathing quickened a little. She finally calmed down and said in a clear voice, "Husband, I do have this intention, but I still listen to your orders, don't I?"

This was a pleasing remark. Chen Yi did not attack her, but twisted the hair on her cheek and sneered, "You do understand."

"I am your Taoist partner, how can I not understand?"

Yin Weiying responded softly.

Her heart was not as calm as her expression. Since that time, Chen Yi no longer treated her the same way as before.

After the underworld and their marriage, Chen Yi became much gentler. He couldn't be said to take care of her in everything, but sometimes he would be hard on her but soft on her heart. They were always affectionate like ordinary lovers in the world. At that time, she didn't know how to cherish him and thought that he would be obedient in time. She never thought that today would come. He treated her with much less respect and bullied her even more. He even vaguely returned to the state when he was a cauldron...

That word "good sister" is even more distant.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yin Weiying pursed her lips and kept asking indirectly: "Husband, when will you...you and I...practice the martial arts?"

The technique she was talking about was "Taixu Yinfeng". She had mentioned it before. It was the dual cultivation method of the golden boy and jade girl passed down by the Taoist tradition of Taihua Mountain. Chen Yi was not forgetful and had tacitly agreed to it. The meaning of her mentioning this at this time was not just about practicing the technique, but was asking when they would recover and when he would recognize her as his wife again... Chen Yi had always known what this meant.

Chen Yi sneered and asked casually, "Are you so anxious?"

The words of advice stopped in Yin Weiying's throat. She understood what he meant from his tone.

"I have my own plans, so you don't need to remind me." After saying that, Chen Yi strode away.

Yin Weiying felt very lonely for a while.

Chen Yi ignored it. It had been a long time since his eldest daughter Yin had been confused. If he indulged her a little, she would become more and more demanding. He wanted to be affectionate with her again like before, but if he let her go so easily, who knows what trouble she would cause in the future.

Moreover, my body has almost recovered now, and it is time to prepare for the journey to the cult. We don’t want to add unnecessary variables along the way.

Tonight, in the small courtyard, Chen Yi only showed the soft side of his heart to Yin Tingxue.

"As for Lu Ying's matter, it's difficult and simple at the same time. On the one hand, I don't want her to continue like this, but on the other hand, I want her to be willing." Chen Yi's words were a little vague.

But Yin Tingxue still understood what he meant. Chen Yi didn't want Lu Ying to continue to forget herself and follow Zhou Yitang's swordsmanship. He also hoped that Lu Ying, the senior sister, would choose to follow his swordsmanship instead of being forced.

"That's best if Senior Sister Lu is willing. You don't have to worry about it." Yin Tingxue was careful not to let Chen Yi deviate from the right track and affirmed him. She thought of something else, "By the way, you have to discuss it with Master Zhou first." Chen Yi didn't think Zhou Yitang would agree with his idea. At most, she would not interfere. He said without comment, "What's the point of discussing it? Her sword is in my world."

Yin Tingxue didn't understand the meaning of the words, nor the entanglement between the two people's swordsmanship, but she still heard from the tone of their voice the differences between the two that have continued from the past and are still difficult to resolve.

She always didn't want to see the two of them facing each other with swords. Every time they were at loggerheads, it was the moment she feared the most. Now that she saw that Chen Yi was soft-hearted and easy to talk to, she decided to give him some advice.

"When will the cycle of revenge end? What if..." the little fox advised cautiously, "When will Master Zhou let you hold on with one hand?"

"I'm holding her up with one hand, what am I doing with her?"

"You..."

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then tapped her nose and said jokingly:
"Well, you little fox, you can even say dirty words now."

Yin Tingxue's cheeks turned red. It was hard to see clearly in the night. She touched her nose and whispered, "It's all... because of you."

Chen Yi always said dirty words from time to time, whether in bed or in daily life. Didn't he say that Yin Tingxue didn't want to hear those dirty words, but she understood them immediately, and not only understood them, but they also blurted out accidentally.

He taught himself bad things.

Chen Yi did not use this opportunity to bully Yin Tingxue. Instead, he leaned in and kissed her forehead, saying softly, "Yes, yes, blame me, blame me."

"Hmm..." Yin Tingxue saw him like this, thought for a moment and said softly: "It's not all your fault, I was also careless... Well, let's not talk about this, you and Master Zhou should get along well."

Chen Yi put his arm around her waist and said with a smile, "If you don't get along well with her, will she let you support herself with one hand?"

“…You can’t tell.” Yin Tingxue said a little threateningly.

"Let's not talk about whether I will give her this opportunity. Even if I support myself with one hand, what can she do?" Chen Yi teased her, apparently not believing it.

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Yin Tingxue frowned and said, "Don't disbelieve me, Master Zhou is better than you." After saying that, she thought for a moment and said, "Shall I show you?"

Chen Yi wanted to see how the little fox demonstrated, so he said, "Okay, you show me."

So she pushed him away a little, and Chen Yi also left her enough space.

The candlelight in the room was burning warmly. Yin Tingxue supported herself on the edge of the bed with both hands, raised her belly, and gestured with her body:
"Hold it like this, and she can sit on top of you."

She turned over and raised her body.
"If you hold it like this, she can come from under you..."

Yin Tingxue blushed unconsciously... What on earth was she doing? Was she crazy? It was so embarrassing.

But for the sake of both of them, I can only give this example as a warning.

She looked down at Chen Yi, shook her petite body, and whispered, "... Do you understand?"

Chen Yi remained calm and poked lightly.

The weight on her waist suddenly came, and Yin Tingxue, who could no longer hold on, shuddered, collapsed onto the bed, and cried out.

Seeing this cute and funny scene, Chen Yi laughed loudly, leaned forward to hug her, and gently put her to sleep...

………………

"Are you leaving now?"

Yin Tingxue moved her body and stayed in his arms impatiently.

"Well, we have to be separated for a while." Chen Yi said softly.

Chen Yi knew that she was going to go to the Sword Village with Zhou Yitang to choose a sword. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had promised Yin Tingxue before that he would get her a flying sword.
"When I come back, I will definitely give you the flying sword I promised you."

"Oh, oh." Yin Tingxue didn't really care. Suddenly she thought of something and said softly, "Then the... Kongming lantern you gave to Master Zhou..."

"I remember that too. Let's wait until we get back. Min Ming is not here, so I don't know what to do."

The girl tried every means to ease the relationship between the two, and Chen Yi could see it. However, the girl, who was worried all day long, didn't know that he and Zhou Yitang were no longer as confrontational as they used to be.

Yin Tingxue only saw them fighting at the head of the bed, but didn't see them closing up at the foot of the bed.

Seeing that Chen Yi remembered all these things clearly and had made arrangements, Yin Tingxue felt relieved. She pondered for a while and said softly:
"…Oh, I can't bear to leave you."

She said this on purpose.

Chen Yi really enjoyed it. He rubbed her head with his chin, kissed her hair and said:

"I can't bear to leave you even more."

………………

After some time, it was late autumn and he had almost recovered. There was no point in staying in Longhu Mountain any longer. Broken meridians could not be repaired by just resting.

Even though he was reluctant to part with those women, Chen Yi still had to embark on this journey to southern Xinjiang. In order to avoid sadness, he did not say goodbye specifically.

Yin Tingxue was going to go to Jianxiang with Zhou Yitong, and then return to Yinjian Mountain. Lu Ying was also going with him, but the three girls were not going the same way as him.

Fortunately, there were several other people traveling the same way, including Yin Weiying, Donggong Ruoshu, Lin Wanhang and her maid Xiuhe.

Needless to say, the nun Donggong Ruoshu was entrusted to him by Wei Wuque. Now that she had to return to her body, Zhou Yitang had no way to do it, so Chen Yi had no choice but to take her with him. As for Lin Wanheng, this girl had no opinion of her own and was indecisive when it came to making a decision. Chen Yi thought about it and decided to take her with him. He asked Zhou Yitang to tell his fortune for this, and the latter said "yes".

When I left Longhu Mountain, the Heroes' Conference had ended long ago. Longhu Mountain returned to its former tranquility. After washing away the hustle and bustle of the martial arts world, it finally had the tranquility that the Taoist ancestral home deserved.

Retrieve the Taisha Sword, bid farewell to the old Heavenly Master, and bid farewell to Yuzhen Yuanjun.

Chen Yi then looked towards the south.
Somehow, my heart became uneasy.

Is this like being homesick?
Maybe.
The daughter he had never met, and he hadn't seen Qin Qingluo for a long time, and...

Does she still hate him?
"Hate it all you want, this gives me a reason to come see you."
