Chapter 49
HEART PROTECTION: CHAPTER 49
Yan Hui always considered herself as decisive and not hesitant . Sometimes she was so much so that she came off as too blunt and a bit heartless .
The day when Yan Hui left Chen Xing Mountain, every step down the long winding path recalled a memory . When Ling Xiao first brought Yan Hui to the mountain, he said: "Yan Hui, from now on, this will be your home . " That memory was like a sleeping tiger suddenly leaping out to tear and mangle her .
However, no matter how many memories surged up, no matter how hurt she felt, Yan Hui's footsteps never paused .
At that time, Yan Hui thought there probably wouldn't be anything else in her lifetime that could stop her from walking away .
But the world had strange and weird events that were hard to predict . When Tian Yao was earnestly looking at Yan Hui and saying those dependent words, Yan Hui felt like she couldn't move her legs .
Yan Hui unexpectedly found out she couldn't abandon people that needed her .
She could be heartless to herself, but it seemed like she couldn't find that heartlessness toward Tian Yao .
Yan Hui moved her gaze away from Tian Yao . In her mind she cursed that damned fox lust fragrance for not fading yet .
"No, no matter what you say, in any case I'm not going to help you find your other body parts again . The jianghu already know about me releasing the fox demons . Even those are still just rumors, I probably attracted the attention of every sect, including Chen Xing Mountain . If I continue to stay with you, it won't be good for you neither . " Yan Hui hefted up her simply packed bundle and walked past Tian Yao out the room: "I'm leaving now . Don't follow me . "
Although Yan Hui said those words, she didn't use the Escape Earth Technique . She just walked down the steps a little faster than usual .
Seeing this, Tian Yao didn't hesitate at the slightest and wordlessly turned to follow after Yan Hui . He was reluctant to return to his room and pack . There wasn't much to pack anyways .
Aside from Yan Hui, there was nothing else to bring .
Outside of their wing, Yan Hui suddenly stopped . She turned her head and fixed Tian Yao with a stare . He also stopped and expressionlessly stared back at her .
Yan Hui turned her head back and strode out of Wang Yu Lou . She didn't say bye to anyone . Tian Yao noticed and asked: "You're going to leave without saying goodbye to Miss Xian Ge?"
Yan Hui's foot crossed over the threshold of Wang Yu Lou . She turned her head back and shot Tian Yao a glance: "My friendship with Xian Ge was never in line with those typical customs . " Yan Hui paused . "You're nosing about a bit much . " Done speaking, she fell silent again . Then she immediately stopped walking and turned around to face Tian Yao:
"The road is long and broad . I told you earlier that I wouldn't go with you to find your body parts . I really won't, but now you insist on following me . It's your body . I can't control it . However, if you can't keep up with me, then I'm not going to stop and wait for you . If a demon comes to eat you, then I also won't come to your rescue . If any bad luck happens, then you're on your own . I didn't make any promise to you . "
But Yan Hui didn't use her Escape Earth Technique .
Tian Yao had retrieved his dragon bones and horns, which meant he could absorb spirituality in the world now . However he couldn't in such a short amount of time to clear his body's meridians, change the constitution of his mortal body, condense the magic in said body, and then be able to use said magic . It was practically impossible .
There was no way Yan Hui didn't know this . At her current state, she only had to use an Escape Earth Technique or Propelling Sword Technique for one day . Even with a tracking curse on her, it would be very hard for Tian Yao to find her .
But Yan Hui did no such thing .
Tian Yao's eyes slightly drooped . Although his words were said in seriousness, his tone was softer than usual: "Back then, Su Ying used the Five Phases Seal to seal my soul, horns, bones, heart, and scales . Now I have found three of the five . As for the other two, I have no idea where they are . The world is vast, and I don't know where to start looking . And now you are leaving to go off to places . You just need to know that I won't leave you . "
It was like those words forcefully pushed Yan Hui back . She couldn't help take one step back . She hurriedly turned around and rubbed her chest .
"If you, if you want to follow me, then go ahead . In any case, I'm not going to take care of you . "
Done speaking, Yan Hui lowered her head and marched forward . Tian Yao watched her resentfully go down the path . His mouth twitched and suddenly settled back down .
He turned to look back at Wang Yu Lou .

The time when they left was still far from Wang Yu Lou's peak hours . Even the gossipy girls weren't upstairs . Tian Yao watched the second floor for awhile . Then he turned back around and followed after Yan Hui .
"Clan Master Feng . " A brown-clothed girl by the window on the second floor quietly spoke: "Daoist Priest Ling Xiao especially told you several times not to let Yan Hui leave your sight . Yet you let her leave . "
Feng Qian Shuo stood in the shadows of the second floor . He smiled and fanned himself: "My gaze is long . " He continued, "Blocking her would look deliberate . It's better to let her roam around . " Feng Qian Shuo fiddled with the ring of jewelry store keys around his waist . "After all, she's going to the places I have prepared for her . "
Yan Hui and Tian Yao walked out of Yong Zhou City . Yan Hui strode along at a fast pace like she was anxiously to hit the road . In truth, it was because she really wanted to escape from her Head Senior Disciple .
However right when they were about to leave the outskirts of the city's governing limit, Yan Hui suddenly felt the wind pick up .
Her eyes widened, and she stepped back . Yan Hui had just pushed Tian Yao behind her when the tip of a blade sliced past . A brilliant gold light struck the ground . Yan Hui felt her stomach drop: "Head Senior Disciple . "
He caught up in the end .
With a fluttering of clothes, Zi Chen stood in front of the light, sword in hand . He was grave: "Yan Hui, stop throwing a tantrum . " He continued, "Come back to the mountain with me . "
Yan Hui heaved a sigh and helplessly said: "Head Senior Disciple, this time really wasn't a tantrum . I've already been expelled . I've been ordered to never approach Chen Xing Mountain forever . If you return with me, isn't that giving me trouble? You'll be kidnapping me . "
Zi Chen frowned: "Shifu wouldn't seriously expel you so heartlessly . "
Yan Hui interrupted: "He did exactly that . "
"He did that in a rush . Come back with me . I'll help you ask for forgiveness from shifu . Wait for him to calm down and for sure he'll forgive you . "
"This matter actually has nothing to do with if shifu forgives me or not . "

"You're worried about Ling Fei . I don't believe what they say about your behavior . You wouldn't have done without good cause what the sect says, that you disrespected the elders . You only have to return with me to explain . "
"I really did hit her and burn her hair . " Yan Hui didn't circle around the subject . "Also, even now I feel like that was right . It was freeing and refreshing . "
" . . . . . . "
Yan Hui pursed her lips: "So you see Head Senior Disciple, I really can't go back to Chen Xing Mountain . Just let me go . I swear I'm living well now . "
"Nonsense . " Zi Chen severely reprimanded . "Do you know what the jianghu are saying about you?"
"Isn't it just having secret ties with demons, betraying the true cultivation path, whatever? Nothing to make a fuss about . " Yan Hui scratched her head: "Actually, I don't care what they say about me . They don't have any proof . If they want to talk, then just let them talk . In the end, I'm not going to suffer from it . "
"You're so troublesome . How can a girl like you get slandered? Come back with me . Shifu and I will find a way to clear your name . " Zi Chen finished . Although he looked worried, he still reached out a hand to Yan Hui . "Come with me . "
Yan Hui was stunned upon seeing Zi Chen's outstretched hand . Her indifferent expression lessened quite a bit .
That senior disciple of hers . . . . . .
The kind of person would reach a hand out to her in the cultivation world could only be her Head Senior Disciple . The corner of Yan Hui's mouth lifted . It was both bitter and helplessness .
While Yan Hui was silent, her field of vision was suddenly blocked . Tian Yao had stepped in front of her: "Since she doesn't want to go back, then you shouldn't keep trying to force her back . "
But when Zi Chen heard Tian Yao's words, Zi Chen frowned . He looked Tian Yao up and down in assessment: "Who are you?"

Tian Yao still had the anosmia sachet that Xian Ge had given him . Therefore Zi Chen completely couldn't guess what kind of aura Tian Yao had . He could only assume that Tian Yao's identity was secret, had strange origins, and was with his junior disciple .
The two of them were close .
Tian Yao smoothly lied: "I'm just an ordinary person . "
He had barely finished when it was like Yan Hui finally snapped out of her thoughts . From behind, she hurridly clutched his arm and tucked her head on his neck: "My true love that I found after leaving the mountain . [1]"
Tian Yao: " . . . . . . "
It was like Zi Chen was frozen in shock after hearing that . He was completely stunned: "You . . . "
Yan Hui firmly said: "Head Senior Disciple, just go back . Don't worry about me . I already plan to elope with him . I am his . My heart is also his . If you take me back to Chen Xing Mountain, who has already expelled me, against my wishes, then you'll be tearing apart our marriage . In your next life, you won't be able to get a wife . "
Tian Yao turned to look at Yan Hui . He saw she had tightly wrapped herself around his arm . She also rubbed her head against his shoulder . It was like a puppy playfully teasing him .
Although Tian Yao didn't understand what that brat was trying to play at, his heart had confusingly seemed to soften . Yan Hui's soft hair teased at his heart . He felt both tingles and numbness .
He used to loathe the touch of others .
Zi Chen stared blankly for a long time . Then he carefully sized Tian Yao up . In the beginning, he didn't investigate Tian Yao's aura . Zi Chen thought Tian Yao was an ordinary mortal . As Zi Chen inspected Tian Yao's aura, he also adjusted his grip on the sword . Zi Chen severely frowned and said to Yan Hui: "He has no aura . There's not even a wisp of a smokey aura . He's not an ordinary person . Yan Hui, stop trying to trick me . " Zi Chen reassessed Yan Hui . He was angrier than before: "Every day you're out making trouble . Your aura is a mess, yet you still say you don't want to go back with me . "
Yan Hui rolled her eyes: "I don't want to go back . He's my true love . I want to stay with him . "
Zi Chen's look became icy . He raised his sword: "Then let's see what kind of person your true love really is . " He suddenly thrust his sword at Tian Yao . There was no warning at all . . . . . .
