After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 64 - Master, my cold poison is acting up

Chapter 64: Master, my cold poison is acting up

What does this rebellious disciple want to do?

Chu Xianning’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Jiang Huai stripped off all his clothes, then took out a towel from his storage ring to wipe off the water stains from the rain. After cleaning himself, he put on a fresh set of clothes.

He approached Chu Xianning and called out softly, “Master?”

Chu Xianning did not open her eyes as if she were asleep.

“Why do you drink alone in the courtyard every day?”

Jiang Huai muttered to himself, went over to Chu Xianning, gently tugged at her arm, slightly lifted her, and soon she was in his arms.

Master is so light.

Chu Xianning’s body was so slender, and as soon as Jiang Huai got close, he could smell the faint floral fragrance emanating from her. He really liked the scent on Chu Xianning; he had smelled it for many years and never grew tired of it.

He carried Chu Xianning towards the room, but just as he took a step in that direction, Chu Xianning’s eyes slowly opened, and her voice seemed to carry a hint of complaint.

“It’s so cold.”

“Ah… Master is awake.” Jiang Huai looked down at her.

Chu Xianning’s eyes stared unblinkingly at him, still somewhat groggy, “Why is your body so cold?”

“I was treating Luo Yueguan for her cold poison, and her poison spirit transferred to me, so I feel colder. It’ll be better in a couple of days.”

“Why did you help her?”

“She’s Master’s friend, and besides, she’s Qingyu’s mother, my future mother-in-law, so naturally I should treat her well.”

Jiang Huai replied softly as he continued to carry Chu Xianning forward, then added,

“Actually, the sect master Luo is quite reasonable, and she has already given me the Fire Luo Sacred Fruit.”

“Did you… propose dual cultivation to her?”

“No.” Jiang Huai shook his head.

“She’s Master’s good friend and Qingyu’s mother, how could I propose such a thing to her? It would be against morals, and isn’t Master the one who cares about these things the most?”

Chu Xianning was taken aback and looked up at Jiang Huai.

“You’re angry with me.”

“No.”

“Yes.”

“No.”

“I feel it.”

“I said no.”

“I say yes, so it is.”

The drunken Chu Xianning began to be unreasonable, and Jiang Huai fell silent for a second or two.

“Then Master can assume I am.”

“What are you angry about?”

Chu Xianning’s voice was not angry, just staring straight at him, and Jiang Huai chuckled and shook his head.

“Really, I’m not. Why would I have any reason to be angry with Master?”

“I feel it.”

“I’m just angry at that greedy Jiang Huai Jr. inside me. I’ve never taken it out on Master. Master is always the most respected Master to me. How could I be angry with Master?”

As Jiang Huai spoke, he gently kicked open the door to Chu Xianning’s room, came to the bed, and set Chu Xianning down. She sat on the bed in her pitch-dark room, and she looked up slightly,

“Luo Yueguan said you also opened her acupoints?”

“The treatment for the cold poison and the opening of the acupoints were done together.”

“So you must have completely seen her body.”

“I had the lights off. What can you see in the dark?”

“She said… after all the acupoints are opened, it would be beneficial for my hidden injuries.”

Chu Xianning hesitated for a while, then suddenly said something inexplicable.

Jiang Huai was taken aback.

He pondered for about three or four seconds, then tentatively asked,

“Then should I… open Master’s acupoints as well?”

“Where would you touch?”

“The blocked acupoints for Master are located at the lower abdomen, tailbone, inner thigh, soles of the feet, and ribs.”

Jiang Huai had taken Chu Xianning’s pulse long ago, so he was very clear about the locations of her blockages.

Chu Xianning, sitting on the bed, suddenly scoffed.

“You remember so clearly?”

“Because I’ve always wanted to show filial piety to Master, but Master never gave me the chance.”

Jiang Huai’s response was confident, and in the pitch-dark room, Chu Xianning suddenly fell silent.

The master and disciple sat in silence for a long time in the thick darkness until Chu Xianning suddenly spoke out of the blue.

“Next time.”

Jiang Huai was startled, then nodded gently, “Okay.”

Another silence ensued.

It was always Chu Xianning who was quiet, with Jiang Huai starting the conversation. Now that Jiang Huai was at a loss for words, it seemed they could only remain silent. Jiang Huai felt this silent atmosphere was very strange, and perhaps it would be better to leave earlier.

But just as he was about to say goodbye to Chu Xianning, she suddenly said, “Luo Yueguan is my friend, but if you dual cultivate with her, it has nothing to do with me.”

“But I have a marriage arrangement with Luo Qingyu, and Luo Yueguan is Qingyu’s mother.”

“Why not just keep it from Luo Qingyu?”

“Master has been upright all her life. I didn’t expect you to say such things for me.”

Jiang Huai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and the next second Chu Xianning lifted her leg and kicked him hard on his leg.

“Are you mocking me?”

“No.”

Jiang Huai replied aggrievedly, then said, “But keeping it from Luo Qingyu is a sin in itself. You can hide it for a while but not forever. If I really keep it from Luo Qingyu and dual cultivate with Luo Yueguan, every time I see Qingyu afterward, I’ll feel guilty, and it will probably trouble me for a long time.”

“So what do you want? To break off the engagement with Luo Qingyu?”

“Would Master agree?”

“I can agree, but do you want to?”

Jiang Huai suddenly froze, staring straight at Chu Xianning, but in the darkness, he could only vaguely see the outline of the goddess, not her expression.

What was Chu Xianning thinking? He didn’t know.

But when the question was thrown at him, he suddenly didn’t know how to answer. Cancel the engagement with Luo Qingyu? Then how sad would Luo Qingyu be? Should he take the initiative to tell Luo Qingyu that Brother Jiang Huai doesn’t like you anymore and we shouldn’t get married?

Jiang Huai put himself in her shoes and realized he couldn’t say such a thing.

Luo Qingyu was so obedient to him, always thinking of him. How could he say such heartless words?

“Master is right… I really can’t say the words to break off the engagement to Qingyu.” Jiang Huai suddenly laughed.

He was no longer angry.

Thinking about it, it seemed right. Since he and Luo Qingyu were going to get married eventually, what difference did it make if the wedding was set for the end of the year?

Now that Chu Xianning had given him the chance to break off the engagement, it was he himself who was unwilling.

So he couldn’t blame Chu Xianning.

Suddenly, he felt relieved.

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Rebuilding the Qi sea doesn’t necessarily require dual cultivation. I’ll think more about the cure and see if there’s another way.”

Jiang Huai’s tone was much more relaxed, “Next time you drink, can you call me? Why do you always drink alone? I even brought back two jars of Forgetsorrow wine from Qingxuan Sect, wanting to share them with Master.”

Chu Xianning turned her face away and suddenly lifted her leg and kicked.

“Why kick me?”

“I wanted to kick.”

Chu Xianning had slept in the courtyard for an afternoon, and after waking up, Luo Yueguan had left. She didn’t wait for the disciple’s apology, nor for the dinner she wanted to eat. She sat alone in the pavilion, counted four hundred and sixty-seven fallen flowers, played eighteen games of Go by herself, lit up all the firefly stones in the entire mountain, but the returning disciple only had a scent of powder on him.

“Can Master kick me a couple more times?”

As the saying goes, wine emboldens the coward, Jiang Huai put on an expectant look as he looked at Chu Xianning. She turned her head, and the next second, her toes lightly touched his abdomen. Jiang Huai thought Master was sparing him and didn’t want to use force, but the next second, Chu Xianning activated her spiritual energy, and Jiang Huai was sent flying straight into the wall. If she had used a bit more force, Jiang Huai reckoned he would have coughed up blood.

“Have I not disciplined you for too long?”

Chu Xianning walked down from the bed, her lotus feet stepping on the ground one by one. Jiang Huai hadn’t even managed to get up when Chu Xianning’s foot was already on his chest, her eyes looking down at him from above.

It’s over, the scene from his dreams was really happening.

Only a few dim lights shone through the window, falling on Chu Xianning’s white dress. Jiang Huai lowered his head and looked at the foot on his chest, the small stretch of ankle as tender as lotus root.

His voice trembled slightly, “I-I was wrong.”

“Now you know you’re wrong?”

Chu Xianning scoffed coldly, “What’s wrong?”

“I shouldn’t have been disrespectful to Master.”

“Is that all?” Chu Xianning’s eyes were cold and deep.

“Wrong in, wrong in being sulky with Master…”

“Didn’t you say you weren’t angry?”

Chu Xianning’s toe pressed against Jiang Huai’s chin, tilting his face up slightly, “Hmm?”

“I was wrong.”

It’s over!

White, soft, cool, fragrant, why do I feel like bending down to lick it?

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over!

Jiang Huai’s forehead was already covered in sweat. Because his chin was propped up by Chu Xianning’s delicate little foot, he couldn’t lower his head and was forced to look up at Chu Xianning’s cold eyes. Master and disciple stared at each other in the darkness for several breaths’ time.

In the past, whenever he made a mistake, Chu Xianning would forgive him as long as he admitted it with a positive attitude.

This time was no different.

Chu Xianning’s foot finally retracted, and she spoke in a cold voice.

“I’ll spare you this time.”

“Master is the best. How about we eat steamed Snow Spirit Fish tomorrow?”

Jiang Huai didn’t immediately stand up, perhaps because he was a bit weak from drinking too much.

“Deal with your cold poison first,” Chu Xianning said as she walked towards the bed, turning her head away from Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai watched Chu Xianning climb into bed and wrap herself tightly in the blanket, but his mind seemed to still be filled with the image of Chu Xianning stepping on his chest.

Ah, if only the light was on, I could sneak a peek at Master’s fair thighs under her skirt.

Taking advantage of the situation and still acting cute? No, that’s too despicable, Jiang Huai Jr.!

“The cold poison is a minor issue, it doesn’t have a big impact. I can just brew some herbal medicine and it should cure about seventy percent,” Jiang Huai said as he stood up and dusted off his clothes.

“Master, are you going to bed early?”

“Where were you tonight?”

Both spoke almost simultaneously. Jiang Huai hesitated for a moment, suddenly feeling inexplicably guilty.

He scratched his head, “I… went to Junior Sister Wen Wanwan’s courtyard.”

“You smell of powder,” Chu Xianning’s voice was icy cold.

But this time, Jiang Huai didn’t defend himself because he had no reason to. He didn’t just hold Wen Wanwan; he kissed her lips and got her all messy.

“People who are about to get married should not flirt around,” Chu Xianning coldly reminded.

Jiang Huai was silent for a while, then muttered very softly, “If Qingyu agrees, it should be fine.”

Chu Xianning slowly sat up from the bed, and Jiang Huai always had the strange intuition that her gaze was like she would draw her sword and slay a rebellious disciple the next second, making his legs go weak.

“Master, have a good sleep. My cold poison is acting up, I’m going to get some medicine.”

With that, he ran out of Chu Xianning’s room like he was fleeing for his life.
