Chapter 417 Fear
Chapter 417 Fear
"But Master, do we have to go at night to teach Junior Brother Lin how to make pills?"
Ling Yuexi raised a mischievous smile at the corner of her lips and stared straight at Li Yue.
"..."
"That's right. I won't go then. I'll just watch you make the elixir."
Li Yue pursed her lips and looked up at Ling Yuexi.
"???"
"Master, evening is a good time to learn alchemy. Junior Brother Lin is not as convenient as me. You should go to Junior Brother Lin's place. I can teach you anytime."
Ling Yuexi had a sincere look on her face, her eyes full of sincerity.
"..."
Li Yue glanced at Ling Yuexi, then rushed towards Tianjian Peak and disappeared in the moonlight in the blink of an eye.
"I don't know how far Master and Junior Brother Lin have progressed. I wonder if they won't be back tomorrow morning..."
……
Tianjian Peak.
Lin Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the room practicing, seemed to have noticed something and slowly opened his eyes.
"Sister Li is so beautiful tonight."
Lin Chuan stared at Li Yue who was sitting quietly at the table reading a book.
Carefully dressed, she exuded a gentle charm under the soft candlelight. Her pale blue dress accentuated her graceful figure, and the lavender jade hairpin in her hair shone with a gentle sheen under the candlelight.
“Was I not good-looking before?”
Li Yue gently put the book down, raised her eyebrows slightly, looked straight at Lin Chuan with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
"..."
"There's no comparison, because every time I see Sister Li, she gives me a different sense of amazement."
Lin Chuan's eyes were burning, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was sincere and earnest.
"A bad man with sweet words..."
Li Yue scolded him and picked up the book again. When she lowered her eyes, a strand of hair slid down her cheek, covering the barely noticeable blush that flashed across her face.
"Sister Li, it's getting late. Isn't it time to learn alchemy?"
Lin Chuan's eyes were burning as he slowly walked towards Liyue.
"..."
Li Yue bit her lower lip lightly, feeling the figure getting closer and closer to her. Her fingers holding the book unconsciously tightened, and her fingertips turned slightly white.
The candlelight reflected on her flushed cheeks, making her panic even more obvious, but she didn't know what to do.
"I heard that when refining pills, if the pills absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, their quality can be improved to a higher level. Why don't we go to the back mountain and give it a try?"
Lin Chuan stood beside Li Yue, with a hint of temptation and expectation in his eyes.
"No... no."
Li Yue shook her head violently, and the book in her hand was almost wrinkled.
"Yueyue, try again."
Lin Chuan leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Li Yue, his eyes full of anticipation and tenderness.
"No...don't call me that."
She turned her blushing face away and hid the burning tips of her ears in her hair. Although her words were clearly a rejection, the ending of her voice was unconsciously tinged with a hint of coquettishness.
"Okay, Yueyue."
Lin Chuan's eyes were full of mischief, and he deliberately ignored Li Yue's rejection.
"Bad man..."
Li Yueqing spat, her eyes full of anger.
"Yueyue really doesn't consider going to the back mountain?"
Lin Chuan tilted his head slightly, his voice soft and with a hint of persistence.
"..."
"the last time……"
……
Noon the next day.
The back mountain is quiet and peaceful.
As ripples appeared on a layer of light pink light curtain, Lin Chuan and Li Yue slowly walked out from it amidst the swaying light and shadow.
"Sister Li, why don't you stay here and rest at my place?"
Lin Chuan blinked and looked at Li Yue with anticipation in his eyes.
"When Xu Hanyi comes back, if you invite me again, I will agree."
Li Yue reached out and gently straightened Lin Chuan's robe, but spoke in a bad mood.
"Okay, then I'll invite Sister Li. Sister Li must come."
After spending some time together, Lin Chuan discovered that Li Yue was even more afraid of Xu Hanyi than he was.
"..."
"Don't let Xu Hanyi know about us, otherwise... otherwise I will never talk to you again."
Li Yue raised her face slightly, staring at Lin Chuan with her eyes, with a hint of threat in her eyes.
"Silly lady."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuan leaned forward.
……
After a long time, the two slowly separated.
"I won't come to see you in the next few days. Xu Hanyi will be back soon, and I'm worried that we might run into each other."
Li Yue raised her hand to smooth the hair by her ear, her voice soft but with a hint of determination.
"What if I miss Sister Li?"
Lin Chuan looked lost, and his originally bright eyes instantly became dim.
"Didn't you take a lot of my clothes yesterday?"
Li Yue curled her lips in annoyance and reached out to gently pinch Lin Chuan's waist.
Without waiting for Lin Chuan's reaction, she rushed towards Tianyao Peak, leaving only a faint medicinal fragrance lingering in Lin Chuan's nose.
...(Just wait and see, the remaining words are being worked on at full speed.)
