The Price Of Confessing To The Wrong Female Protagonist Chapter 18

{Chapter Edited by Chinthani}

Meanwhile, YunGe was speaking with Fu Yan- or more accurately, listening to Fu Yan speaking. She felt fearful; the jade pendant she gave to Huan Mo had been broken…

At the same time, the restriction placed in the level 2 spiritual beasts' domain began shaking. Fu Yan's complexion changed. 

“Undo the restriction.” YunGe said coldly.

“Senior Martial Sister…” The Junior Brother who a.s.sisted from the side was a bit surprised. Although the shaking had only lasted for a split second, removing the restriction is extremely unreasonable. 

Fu Yan stared blankly for a moment, then proceeded to remove the restriction. “Senior Martial Sister, there's no need to worry, Junior Martial Niece will be fine. Good people will obtain the Heaven's aid!” Fu Yan gently comforted.

YunGe didn't pay attention to him. Once inside the level 2 territory, she tried to sense her disciple's location and flew. Fu Yan was, of course, behind and following her.

Then an awe inspiring scene appeared: collapsed disciples scattered about! The surrounding trees frozen by a layer of ice and the scarlet-red patch of ground nearly burned her eyes!

Her disciple was so lovable, acting spoiled whilst requesting for hugs. Everyday, before going to bed, she would be in her embrace, bouncing around, before she could agree to sleep. When she was meditating, her disciple liked to study those movements. She never caused trouble and always obediently stayed by her side, but… 

Wait a minute!!! 

YunGe suddenly found out that the disciple laying in the pool of blood was not her disciple. Although that jade pendant belonged to her disciple and that bracelet also belonged to her disciple, this was not her disciple. YunGe took a glimpse: it was a young man, that Lin Lin, still alive.

Although YunGe ascertained that this was not her disciple, her heart was still not calm. Only when she saw her disciple coming out the frozen shrubs, pale but uninjured, could she finally calm down. 

On the other side, when Fu Yan had become frantic upon seeing that the wounded disciple was Lin Lin. Fu Yan had mixed feelings. Honestly speaking, he disapproved of this Junior Brother who depended on his father's status as an elder and considered everyone beneath him.

Fu Yan inspected Lin Lin's condition: his spiritual veins were destroyed. Although his life wasn't in danger, without spiritual veins, he could no longer cultivate. 

Fu Yan recalled a previous incident where Lin Lin had clashed with another and destroyed their spiritual veins. At the time, Lin Lin had still been the only one to have reached Level 2 of Qi Refining and knew how to draw in Qi. The other disciple's spiritual veins had been purer than Lin Lin's, and would have had a better future after mastering the ability to draw in Qi. As a result, the two had been constantly at odds with each other. Lin Lin used the one-time use fatal move that Elder Xiu gave him to save himself. It had destroyed the spiritual veins of that disciple. 

Fu Yan expressed uncertainty. If Lin Lin hadn't used it, would he still have faced such an ending?

…This was not the time to think about this. Fu Yan and the other Junior Brother delivered the disciples back to Yunfu. 

“Senior Martial Sister.” Fu Yan's concerned expression had not yet been erased.

“I'm bringing Huan Mo back.” Once YunGe finished speaking, she flew on her sword and left.

Fu Yan was left standing there with an undefined expression on his face. He was looking at her drifting sleeves, his thoughts unknown.

The root of the mishap quickly emerged. It turned out that a level 2 Ice spiritual beast had suddenly leveled up and encountered the people partaking in trials.

Elder Xiu was furious, unconvinced by this reason. How could a spiritual beast who just leveled up take the initiative to attack cultivators? 

Then, a disciple stepped forward and said that it was Lin Lin that attacked the spiritual beast first, making it act violently. What happened after that, they didn't know because they were affected by the attack and lost consciousness.

YunGe had no time to pay attention to these trivial matters. Currently, she was faced with a difficult problem. How would she tell her disciple that her companion's spiritual veins had been destroyed and that Elder Xiu will send him back to the human world before he even wakes up?

YunGe had seen the jade bracelet and pendant on Lin Lin. She really felt that this youngster, whose cultivation base is pretty good, was highly valued in her disciple's mind. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given him the life-saving items to him as well as acting cute and spoiled in order to go to the trials with him.

Now that her companion is gone, how could she break this news to her disciple?

YunGe felt a bit distressed and sighed as she looked at her sleeping disciple. How could that disciple be so careless? What good points did he even have?

YunGe tried to think of the reason for this accident. What a minute!! An idea suddenly flashed past her mind. 

Perhaps he wanted to be the center of attention in front of her disciple?

The more YunGe thought, the more she felt she was off track. Childhood sweethearts, innocent playmates…

Then she saw her disciple's glistening eyes. “Master!!!” Huan Mo ran over and, like a koala, wrapped her arms around YunGe's neck.

YunGe hurriedly put her messy guesses aside and carried her disciple. “It's alright.”  

“Master, are the other Martial Uncles alright?” The Martial Uncles she was referring to were the group of disciples who took part in the trials with her.

YunGe suddenly realized an even graver topic: Lin Lin was also considered as one of those Martial Uncles! The hierarchy was a mess!

YunGe thought that her disciple was asking only about Lin Lin and she felt uncertain. “Alright…”

“Master, you don't know! That Ice spiritual beast was so scary!” There was still fear in Huan Mo's eyes, as if that Ice spiritual beast could appear at any moment.

YunGe hugged her more tightly. “It's alright, we won't go to the back mountains in the future.” 

“…” Huan Mo was suddenly silent.

YunGe rubbed her disciple's head. “What's wrong? Still afraid? Don't be afraid, no person… no beast can hurt you.”

“No…” Huan Mo's tone was gloomy. “Master…Is Lin Lin ok?”

YunGe's heart thumped. It seems that she couldn't hide it from her disciple. It was not easy to hide it from her. Her disciple had definitely seen Lin Lin fighting the Ice spiritual beast before she was affected by the spiritual power and fell unconscious. 

“MoMo…” YunGe didn't know how to comfort her disheartened disciple and could only plant a kiss on her forehead. “It's alright. He's also fine. He's just going back home…” That was also the truth. Excluding the part about his spiritual veins, he was just getting sent back to the human world, nothing more. 

“…” Huan Mo's cheeks reddened at a visible rate, but before YunGe could see it, she buried her face in YunGe's bosom. She spoke with a low, m.u.f.fled voice. “That's good. He always said that he wanted to go back.”

YunGe felt unwell seeing her disciple losing a companion. “If you ever miss him, I can take you to see him.”

YunGe didn't notice that a certain hidden-in-her-embrace person heard this and the corners of her mouth twitched. 

It has been so long and her master was still so pure…

“Oh, right. In the future, don't give the life-saving items to others, alright?” YunGe thought of this matter and said it. Her disciple was too sincere. Even if she wanted to make friends, she surely didn't have to give away two life-saving items?

Huan Mo heard this and her tiny brain buried in YunGe's embrace stilled for a moment, then nodded. Those who dared to touch her things shall pay the corresponding price!
