Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

Chapter 116 Pei Wanyun's Absurd Ideas

As night deepened, at Yuling Peak, in the side hall of Yunxin.

Pei Wanyun leaned quietly against the window, holding a book in her hand.

She had maintained this position for a whole day.

From sunrise to nightfall, and from nightfall to moonrise.

A few days ago, she stayed at Qi Yuan's place for two days. During the day, she could laugh and joke with others and discuss philosophy with her friends, which helped to temporarily distract her.

But once the night is deep and quiet, that longing can no longer be suppressed.

It was like a tide washing over my heart, unstoppable.

Pei Wanyun originally planned to stay a few more days until her disciples returned from the secret realm before returning to the peak.

But she couldn't resist in the end, and after only a few days, she hurriedly returned to Jade Spirit Peak.

Even after returning to the peak, she didn't go back to her own bedroom and stayed in this side hall.

Although the longing was somewhat relieved, her husband was not here, her disciple was not here, and Xueyan was not here either.

She was left all alone on Jade Spirit Peak, and ultimately, she couldn't shake off the loneliness; her solitude only intensified.

'

Gazing at the silvery moon outside the window, Pei Wanyun's heart was filled with a turbulent mix of emotions: trepidation, anticipation, a vague unease, and a hint of panic.

"You should be back today—"

This is the tenth time Pei Wanyun has asked herself this question today.

Even though he knew when the secret realm would close and had already estimated when his disciple would return, he still couldn't help but check again and again.

"It should be soon—"

Having calculated the exact date of her husband's return, she tidied up the side hall inside and out, making it exactly as it had been before he left.

Of course, she wasn't sure if her husband would notice anything amiss.

Pei Wanyun held the edge of the book page gently with her fingertips, not turning a single page for a long time.

Because his mind was completely occupied with his disciples in the secret realm, he only managed to read a few pages of the book throughout the entire day.

We've waited so long, and this is the last day left.

But this last day was harder to endure than any of the previous days.

That makes sense.

Because there is something to look forward to, something to long for, time seems to stretch out endlessly to the senses.

My mood became increasingly agitated.

Pei Wanyun gently closed the book and prepared to return to the main hall.

Before leaving, she instinctively wanted to take one of her husband's clothes with her.

After all, holding his clothes had become a habit during this time.

"This is getting more and more outrageous."

Pei Wanyun gently scolded herself, her cheeks slightly flushed, but she still took one of the items.

Anyway, my husband has so many clothes, I shouldn't be discovered if I take one with me.

She thought to herself in this self-deception, and returned to her bedroom in the main hall with slightly unsteady steps.

Back to the main hall bedroom.

Pei Wanyun walked to the dressing table and sat down.

Since her disciples were returning today, she wanted to greet them in the best possible way.

At the very least, I can't let them see how dejected I've been these past few days.

Looking at her still gentle face in the mirror, she tried to smile as usual, but the smile always carried a hint of weariness.

"Sigh."

She couldn't help but sigh softly, her tone tinged with regret: "Xiao Yuan is right, I have indeed changed."

I picked up a wooden comb and gently combed my dark hair, my thoughts drifting away.

These difficult days are finally coming to an end.

She couldn't quite describe her feelings at that moment.

I wonder if Qianxue and her husband are doing well in the secret realm?

Were you injured?

Has everything gone smoothly?

Do you ever think of her?

Thinking of the last sentence, Pei Wanyun laughed to herself: "How silly! The secret realm is dangerous. If he is distracted by me, he is more likely to get into trouble."

"Wouldn't that harm him?"

But as the laughter faded, a hint of bitterness inevitably crept in, which was quickly suppressed.

Since we're going to be honest about this anyway, instead of worrying about these things, we should think about what to say later.

Unlike her usual simple grooming, this time she was much more meticulous in front of the mirror when doing her makeup.

The wooden comb brushed through her dark hair, again and again.

She chose a moon-white long dress that she rarely wore, with delicate silver lotus embroidered on the hem.

This is a piece of clothing that she has treasured for a long time.

Looking at her drastically different reflection in the mirror, she couldn't help but frown slightly, a hint of hesitation in her voice: "Isn't this a bit too deliberate?"

"Won't he find it strange?"

After all, this was the first time she had dressed like this in front of her husband.

However, she wasn't worried that her husband wouldn't like it.

After all, from what I remember, the other party was extremely satisfied with this.

The only concern now is whether a sudden change in clothing style will seem too deliberate.

",

After much hesitation, she changed back into her usual lotus-colored dress.

But before she could leave the hall, she stopped in her tracks, hesitated for a moment, and then changed back into the moon-white dress.

This was repeated five times.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and decided on that moon-colored long dress.

Just this once.

She said to herself in the mirror, "If my husband finds this strange—then—we'll talk about it another time!"

Gazing at the jade lotus hairpin reflected in the mirror, Qi Yuan's words suddenly flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but ask herself, "If I were to tell the truth, what would you do?"

"Will you think your teacher is crazy?"

"I still feel that my teacher is shameless—"

J

'

No one answered.

But in Pei Wanyun's heart, her resolve was already unwavering.

She had to be honest no matter what.

Spending time with him as his master was truly agonizing.

It's like being cut with a dull knife, slowly grinding away at your mind and spirit, day after day, causing unbearable pain.

Even though her husband was right in front of her, she could only approach him cautiously, adopting the demeanor of a teacher and using the guise of instruction.

What she wanted was never for the other party to bow respectfully and call her "Master".

What she wanted was to stand proudly beside him, to have his hand held tightly, and to be cherished in his heart.

She would no longer address him as his teacher and student, but as his wife, accompanying him for the rest of his life.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Wanyun carefully tidied her hair and gently stroked the jade lotus hairpin in her hair.

After confirming that his attire was appropriate and his expression was calm, he slowly walked out of the palace gate and headed towards the foot of Jade Spirit Peak.

We arrived at the foot of Yuling Peak.

Pei Wanyun stood quietly in the evening breeze, her gaze fixed on the night sky ahead.

Soon, her beloved husband and her long-awaited disciple will appear on this road.

These two people are the people she cares about most.

For some reason, Pei Wanyun suddenly turned her head slightly, her ears burning.

She suddenly felt that she looked exactly like a bride waiting for her husband to return.

She hadn't said or done anything yet.

Even with that girl, Qianxue, traveling with her, how could I think such a thing—

But once this thought appeared, it could no longer be suppressed; instead, it grew wildly like weeds, becoming uncontrollable.

"This is ridiculous—"

She felt ashamed of such an absurd idea.

But she didn't want to deny it.

He then took a deep breath and cast his gaze into the depths of the night.

"Come back soon!"

Finally, Pei Wanyun sighed softly and murmured, "Your teacher—misses you all."
