Chapter 15 – Night Fall

Di Jiufeng reflected on her actions. She felt that she was too incompetent as a Shifu. Hence, she put on her clothes and decided to look for her disciple.

The only way to resist the chill on the peak was to keep moving. Di Jiufeng unsteadily walked out and saw a candlelight in a small building situated at the northwest side. That was the only kitchen on Pear peak. Although the facilities were complete, her original body practised inedia and furthermore, Di Jiufeng had no clue on how to operate the ancient kitchen stove. From the time it had been cast aside till now, who knew how many layers of dust had covered it.

Di Jiufeng walked over and saw that the unlatched door revealed a narrow gap. The warm candlelight radiated through the gap, just enough to let her witness the scene inside.

——Her disciple was much shorter than the kitchen stove. Even with a stool, she had to tiptoe on it while cooking a porridge with rapt attention. The sweet fragrance of red dates and longans gently floated out from the white porridge and burrowed into Di Jiufeng's nose. She suddenly thought back to the time when she was still in a haze while recuperating from her injuries, the liquid-like soft rice that was fed to her three meals per day.

As it turned out, her disciple had actually painstakingly taken care of her all this time.

Di Jiufeng's heart gave a tremble as a warm feeling welled up inside her. She pushed open the door and slowly walked in.

When she saw Di Jiufeng walking in at a slow pace, Ning Guang immediately threw down the soup ladle and ran to her Shifu's side, "Shifu, why are you up? The weather is so cold and yet, you wear so little."

Holding Di Jiufeng's hands, she realized that her hands were as cold as ice. Instantly, Ning Guang said strictly, "Shifu, you always don't know how to take care of yourself. Previously, you wanted to butt head on with Qian Sui and now, you don't even want to rest when you are injured. You really…"

"I what?" Di Jiufeng softly laughed. She stroked Ning Guang's nose as she said, "Who is the Shifu here? Based on what I see, you have become my Shifu? Ning Guang, it's not that I wanted to face Qian Sui head on, it's just that I had no other methods."

"How come there's none, you could just let me…"

"Foolish!" Di Jiufeng knocked her head with a knuckle and said with a cold face, "Don't say these kind of things again, otherwise, I will end this Shifu-disciple relationship." Since Di Jiufeng was angry, Ning Guang was naturally scared.

She immediately pounced over and hugged her Shifu's leg, "I am wrong, I won't do it again. Next time, next time, I will cultivate properly and if anyone dares to bully us, I will fight back. Shifu, I will definitely protect you!" After pleading for her Shifu's mercy, Ning Guang finished cooking the porridge and carried it out. She saw the recipe in a medicine book before, it was able to enrich the blood and replenish the Qi.

Staring at her Shifu finishing the porridge, Ning Guang slavishly followed her to the bedroom door.

Looking at her petite and fragile little disciple, Di Jiufeng pondered if she should let her sleep by herself. Before she could come to a decision, she heard Ning Guang speak, "Shifu, I'm scared of the dark. Don't chase me away." Forcefully shaking and grabbing at Di Jiufeng's sleeves, Ning Guang walked in herself before Di Jiufeng could answer.

She backhandedly closed the room door and stole onto the bed like a thief. She then grabbed onto the quilt and looked at Di Jiufeng with a face full of innocence, "Shifu, I want to sleep with you."

My disciple is still young, there should be no problems letting her sleep with me. Di Jiufeng did not plan to chase her away.

It's just that, looking at Ning Guang's pair of water-colored phoenix eyes, Di Jiufeng felt that something was wrong. Her disciple was skillful and nimble, it did not seem like she had lost her sight. Is it because…

"Ning Guang, can your eyes see now?"

Looking at her Shifu slowly walking over, Ning Guang's heart pounded with a 'pu tong, pu tong' sound.

She could see since the start. It's just that, she felt that by a adopting a blind persona by Di Jiufeng's side she could gain more of her concern and care. Hence, she pretended to be blind.

Now, Shifu had said it like this, which meant that she had seen through her act.

Ning Guang's heart tightened as her breathing became haphazard.

She could not help but feel worried. She was afraid that her Shifu would not believe her anymore after exposing her lie.

Yes, she had cheated her Shifu from the start. But only by doing that could she make her Shifu look at her one more time. She had never thought of harming her own Shifu. For that piece of warmth, she was willing to sacrifice her life!

Ning Guang's heart pounded unceasingly, like someone beating on a drum, even the root of her tongue felt numb.

She wanted to say something. Something to ease up the tense atmosphere. However, her throat was seized by worry, causing her to repeatedly swallow her saliva. In the end, she could not even mutter a single word.
