Ch 493: Su Nianyi’s Choice
Shi Ming recounted all the interesting things that had happened since he first stepped onto the Arena.
Song Yitao, as a listener, simply cupped her hands under her chin, quietly watching Shi Ming’s profile.
Only after Shi Ming finished speaking did she say, “You’ve become very strong. Back in the Extreme Domain, if it weren’t for you taking care of me, my training wouldn’t have been so smooth.”
“Actually, I didn’t do much.”
Shi Ming chuckled good-naturedly.
Hearing Song Yitao bring up old times, he also recalled their past in the Extreme Domain.
Back in the Extreme Domain, due to the unique environment, they, fellow disciples, were forced to separate, and he was no exception.
At first in the Extreme Domain, he was very worried that with his weak strength, he might die there.
But later, he coincidentally ran into Song Yitao, and the two of them simply travelled together, exploring the Extreme Domain.
As time went on, unknowingly, Song Yitao no longer treated him coldly.
Instead, like now, her gaze held an extremely gentle look.
Shi Ming wasn’t sure what this feeling was.
He only felt that he had never been so happy, even happier than when his Tai Chi Fist cultivation improved.
This must be what his Martial Uncle called love.
Seeing Shi Ming’s honest appearance, Song Yitao smiled softly, reached out and turned his face towards her, looked into his eyes, and softly said.
“Is the scenery beautiful?”
“Beautiful.”
“Is the scenery beautiful or am I beautiful?”
“You are beautiful.”
Shi Ming, without blinking, said without hesitation.
“Then look at me more. I’m only working at the Qingfeng Tavern for a while before I go back, and I hope you’ll always remember what I look like.”
Song Yitao turned around, reached out and tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear, covering her slightly reddened earlobes.
“I’ll never forget.” Shi Ming nodded heavily.
The small boat drifted on its own, beautiful scenery slowly passing by. Nearby, pleasure boats passed by from time to time, carrying pleasant songs. The breeze blew, and the warm sun shone on them, creating a stunning scroll painting.
The two did not speak, but everything was unspoken.
Everything was so warm and beautiful.
Just then, a small boat suddenly stopped in front of them.
A figure stood at the bow, dressed in green robes, with beautiful features, but a very cold gaze, giving a great sense of oppression, silently watching them.
Shi Ming’s eyes widened, as if he had seen a mouse see a cat, quickly stood up, and stammered, “Sen, Senior!”
Song Yitao’s face turned pale, and she froze for a moment.
Su Nianyi on the opposite boat leaped and landed directly onto their small boat.
With a cold gaze she scanned Shi Ming, then fixed her eyes on Song Yitao, and said calmly, “Song Yitao, what are you doing?”
Although her voice was very calm,
both could sense Su Nianyi’s anger.
“Master, I, I…”
Song Yitao lowered her head, not daring to meet her Master’s gaze. She wanted to explain, but couldn’t.
She didn’t expect her Master to be here. With her Master’s strength, everything she had just done must have been seen clearly.
No matter what excuse she made, any explanation would be futile; her Master wouldn’t believe it.
“Don’t you know the flaw of the Song of Forgetting Emotions cultivation method?”
Su Nianyi’s tone was full of disappointment.
Song Yitao lost her voice, her heart filled with terror.
The flaw of the Song of Forgetting Emotions cultivation method, she knew, was that it absolutely prohibited cultivators from experiencing emotions. Once they did, their cultivation would stagnate, and all their previous efforts would be wasted.
But human emotions and desires were not so easily abandoned. Before entering the Extreme Domain, she had already sensed her fondness for Shi Ming. To avoid affecting her cultivation, she could only speak coldly to him.
Until later, in the Extreme Domain, when she was alone, fate brought her and Shi Ming together.
Those days spent together day and night were something she would never forget, nor did she want to.
Because Shi Ming was special to her.
Others might use sweet words, but Shi Ming wouldn’t. He would silently prepare everything for her, like a boulder protecting her from the wind and rain, always standing quietly behind her.
“Senior, it’s not Yitao’s fault; if anyone is to blame, it’s me. Please don’t punish her.”
At this time, Shi Ming, who had been silent, suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Song Yitao.
“Shi Ming, you…”
Song Yitao stared blankly at Shi Ming’s back. Coming to her senses, she said, “Master, it’s not Shi Ming’s fault. All the blame is on me. This disciple is willing to accept punishment!”
“Sigh!”
Looking at Song Yitao and Shi Ming, who were like a pair of doomed lovers, Su Nianyi sighed softly, and said to herself.
“The rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
Somehow, seeing this scene, the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared.
“Master.”
Song Yitao looked at Su Nianyi with a bewildered expression.
She thought her Master would be very angry, and she had already imagined herself being confined, but now it seemed like her Master wasn’t that angry.
Su Nianyi didn’t speak anymore, rising into the air and leaving.
Gazing at her disappearing figure,
Shi Ming and Song Yitao were stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
At the bridgehead.
Su Nianyi stared at the two figures on the distant boat, silent.
At this moment, Li Hanzhou slowly walked over. He first glanced at the boat, then smiled, “Youth is so good.”
Li Hanzhou looked deeply at Su Nianyi’s face, “Not going to deal with it?”
At the Longevity Temple, Yun Qianzhu told him that Su Nianyi wanted him to go to the Qingfeng Tavern.
But the moment he set off, he sensed Su Nianyi’s aura here, so he came directly, unexpectedly witnessing this scene.
He had known before that Shi Ming liked Song Yitao.
But he never expected that Shi Ming, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually be with the Immortal of Unfeeling, Song Yitao.
It could only be said that he was indeed his Martial Nephew!
Su Nianyi withdrew her gaze and said calmly, “I myself made the same mistake back then. Now, what qualification do I have to tell my disciple not to make the same mistake as me?”
“It’s fate. Moreover, in this Tianxuan Realm, the Heavenly Mandate will no longer gather. Even if she cultivates the Song of Forgetting Emotions to its peak, what’s the point? She’ll still spend the rest of her life here. Since Song Yitao has made her decision, let her have her own choice.”
