The path of a martial artist was indeed lonely, especially the higher one climbed, the lonelier it would be.
The higher one climbed, the stronger one was, the longer one's lifespan would be. Parents and childhood friends would slowly disappear from one's world. Even wives and children would be the only one left alive.
Therefore, powerful martial artists would eventually grow old alone. To have an old friend to accompany you, to have a group of old people to drink tea and reminisce about the past, that was the happiest.
"Let's go to my stone house, I have wine and food prepared." Qinchuan smiled.
Bei Xueyi nodded, "Alright!"
The two walked into Qinchuan's stone house. Qin Ye and the rest did not disturb them even though Qinchuan invited them.
Since they did not come, Qinchuan directly handed Qin Ye and the rest a lot of wine and food, allowing them to drink in Qin Ye's stone house next door.
Qin Ye gave Qinchuan a meaningful smile. Qinchuan rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"You guys seem to have a good relationship." Bei Xueyi smiled.
"We've only known each other for a few days, but we are birds of a feather and have similar personalities. It's not bad to be friends."
Qin Ye and the rest had broken through one stage after soaking in the Jade Pool. Now, Qin Ye and Tang Ba were both at the eighth stage of the Profound Stage.
Ximen Wu and his brother were slightly lower, at the fourth stage of the Profound Stage.
Qinchuan's stone house was very clean. There was a single bed and a small table with four exquisite side dishes on it. These were all made by Qinchuan himself. She took out the wine and poured one for Bei Xueyi and one for herself.
The small table was too small. The two of them sat opposite each other. They could even feel Bei Xueyi's slight breathing.
Bei Xueyi looked at Qin Chuan, and gradually, the feeling of being a child seemed to have returned. Right now, the height between them wasn't low anymore. In this vast and boundless world, Qin Chuan was her old friend. When she was young, she hugged him, looked at him, and everything that had happened to him slowly appeared in her mind. He was like a family to her, and in her heart, Qin Chuan was at least like her younger brother.
Qinchuan was a little embarrassed by her gaze. He blushed and smiled, "Am I prettier than when I was young?"
Bei Xueyi smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch Qinchuan's handsome face. This time, Bei Xueyi also smiled. Back in Boulder Town, Bei Xueyi often did this, and now that he did it, not only did it bring back memories of his childhood, but it also gave him an indescribable warmth.
"Sister Bei, come, let's have a toast to our reunion." Qinchuan smiled and raised his glass.
The two of them drank double the amount.
"This wine is delicious, and I'm in a good mood," Bei Xueyi said.
"Later on, when I went to South Sea City, you had already left. By the time I found out about you, you were already on the Mysterious Region's Heaven List," said Qinchuan with a smile.
"These years can be considered smooth sailing. I came across a good opportunity and came here from the Ordinary Realm. I didn't expect to meet you again. It's really a miraculous feeling," Bei Xueyi said with a smile.
"You find it miraculous, but I don't find it miraculous at all. I've always thought that I would find you, and I will definitely find you. Even if I have to turn the entire Nine Realms upside down, I will find you," Qinchuan said softly. His tone was calm and gentle, but there was no need to doubt his words.
Bei Xueyi's body trembled slightly. He smiled and looked at Qinchuan, "Isn't that Alluring Tyrant very beautiful?"
Qinchuan smiled and looked at her, "Why are you jealous?"
"Jealous my ass. Are you planning to abandon her?" Bei Xueyi asked with a smile.
"Why would I abandon her?" Qinchuan asked.
"Are you planning to have many women at the same time?" Bei Xueyi asked.
"Can't I?" Qinchuan looked at her.
"Don't you think it's unfair?"
"There are too many unfair things in the world. How can there be fairness? If two people like each other, then they should be together. Life is short, and we should enjoy ourselves. There is no need to pursue perfection. Besides, there is no such thing as perfection in this world. Sister Bei, you want to find a man that you like, who is worthy of you, who is single, who is a virgin, and who only likes yourself? Do you think you can find such a man?" Qinchuan smiled.
"A dog's mouth can't spit ivory. Let's not talk about this anymore. What's your plan for the future?" Bei Xueyi scolded with a smile.
"Do you know the situation of the Cloud Sky Sect?" Qinchuan asked.
"I know!"
"Then what do you plan to do?" Qinchuan asked.
"I will stay. The Cloud Sky Sect has helped me a lot, so I will stay." Bei Xueyi said with determination.
"You won't leave even if you die?" Qinchuan frowned.
Bei Xueyi struggled for a while before saying, "This is her wish. I can't let the Cloud Sky Sect disappear."
Qinchuan didn't know who she was talking about, but he was sure that it had something to do with the Cloud Sky Sect. He rubbed his forehead. The situation wasn't looking good. If things really got out of hand and this woman didn't leave, would he be able to leave by himself?
"Qinchuan, don't worry about me. If it really happens, you have to leave. You are just an outer disciple, so it doesn't matter. Do you understand?" Bei Xueyi said.
"Indeed, I can't die with the Cloud Sky Sect. I don't have any sense of belonging here. But when I leave, I have to think of a way to get you out of here." Qinchuan thought about it seriously.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Maybe we are thinking too much. Come, let's drink."
The two of them continued to drink and chat.
"Do you really plan to marry that shameless show-off?" Qin Chuan's question shifted to this topic again.
This time, Bei Xueyi thought about it and said, "I don't know."
"We are still young. I won't think about it for now. It's just an engagement." Bei Xueyi continued.
"Xueyi, do you think we will be together in the future?" Qinchuan said with a smile.
Bei Xueyi glared at him and said, "Call me big sister!"
"You two, you …" At this time, a voice came. Young master Canglan stood at the entrance of the stone house and shouted angrily.
Qinchuan's expression didn't change, and Bei Xueyi was also very calm.
Qinchuan and Bei Xueyi were very close to each other. Too close. Just two feet away from each other. Sitting at a small table and drinking like this, it looked really intimate.
"I say, are you crazy? I haven't seen my sister for many years. Why are you shouting at her when she came to welcome me? Look at what kind of man you chose. Trash. Back, back. "Qinchuan first shouted at Young master Canglan, then said to Bei Xueyi.
"Okay, it's about time. I will leave first. Be good in the future." Bei Xueyi said to Qinchuan with a gentle smile.
After saying that, he directly left.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word to Young master Canglan. He didn't even look at him.
Young master Canglan's behavior made Bei Xueyi hate him little by little. He was indeed very good looking, very handsome, and also very powerful. But for some reason, his bright appearance and powerful capital suddenly lost any luster. When Bei Xueyi looked at him, he felt very uncomfortable, and even a little disgusted.
