Chapter 120 Elopement
Seeing Qin Taihe looking a little depressed, Ruan Xing wanted to comfort him, but he was not very good at comforting people. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Don't you have a bad relationship with Senior Sister Meng Hui?"
Qin Taihe choked after hearing this and said faintly, "That's not that good compared to others."
After being interrupted by Ruan Xing, the self-destructive mood that had just been brewing in him dissipated again.
"Then will you go over and talk to Senior Sister Meng?" Ruan Xing asked.
Just now, almost everyone had arrived, and the female cultivator from Tianyan Peak gave the Huiyang Pill to Meng Hui to take. After a few minutes, Meng Hui woke up.
She spoke to others in a somewhat weak voice, regretting her recklessness when she was undergoing the tribulation.
Qin Taihe hesitated for a moment, then said dejectedly, "Forget it, there's nothing to say, let's go."
Among him, apart from his master and Yin Feng, Meng Hui is the person he has interacted with and talked the most with over the years.
But to Meng Hui, he was just a lonely and difficult fellow student.
When they returned to Yaoguang Peak, Qin Taihe said that he wanted to be alone and asked Ruan Xing to take Yinfeng out to play. Yinfeng grabbed Qin Taihe's door with his claws, not letting it close, and looked at Qin Taihe inside and made a whimpering sound.
Ruan Xing's eyes rolled and he had a new idea. He turned on the real-scene simulation and, ignoring Qin Taihe's obstruction, he and Yin Feng pushed the door open together.
"What else do you want to do?" Qin Taihe's tone was a little bad.
Tsk, no wonder he is not close to anyone. He speaks like this to those who want to care about him. Who can stand being ignored?
However, seeing that Qin Taihe thought he was going to die soon, Ruan Xing didn't bother with him. She pushed the door and went straight to the point, "Hey, I have a good idea. Have you ever thought about running away?"
Qin Taihe frowned coldly, "What kind of good idea is this? I won't run away. Master raised me and I will never betray him."
"Don't confuse the concepts. Running away does not mean betrayal. Think about it carefully. The Peak Master doesn't want you to die, but this is a decision made by the sect. She has no say in the sect, so she has to choose to replace you. Now there is no candidate for replacement. The Peak Master must be in pain and entanglement in her heart, but as the Peak Master of Xuanbing Sect's Yaoguang Peak, she can't take the initiative to tell you to run away. But if you really run away, she will definitely turn a blind eye. Do you believe it?"
Ruan Xing's words made sense, but she was actually not sure that True Lord Qinghong would violate the sect's rules and let Qin Taihe escape.
But since it’s a simulation, you should always try a path you haven’t taken before, what if it works?
Qin Taihe was stunned for a moment, began to ponder, and then shook his head, "No, if I run away, even if the master violates the sect rules, she will be punished. I can't do this."
Ruan Xing patiently persuaded her, "After all, the Peak Master is the master of a peak. If you really run away, she will definitely notice it. If she doesn't stop you, it means she has tacitly agreed to let you run away. If you don't run away, you will be sorry for the Peak Master and fail her kindness. Besides, have you never been back to Xizhou? Don't you want to go back and take a look?"
She had guessed this too. After getting to know Qin Taihe over this period of time, she found out that Qin Taihe was arrogant on the surface but inferior on the inside. Therefore, he was not good at getting close to others. He always had a cold face and kept people at a distance. But if Ruan Xingzhen stuck to him, he would not beat her up out of frustration, but instead suppressed his temper.
This is very different from the children of the clans in Xizhou. Their martial arts are inherited from their blood. Every cultivator is a precious member of the family. Even the children born by ordinary servants will not be treated too badly. They will all be loved and valued by their elders. Their personalities will never be as awkward as Qin Taihe's.
So she felt that although Qin Taihe arrived at Yaoguang Peak at the age of seven, he had never lived in Xizhou before the age of seven. Qin Taihe suddenly fell silent.
His expression became confused. Could he really go to Xizhou to see his blood relatives? He had obviously been abandoned long ago.
"You may not know." Qin Taihe said with some difficulty: "My father is from the Qin Tai family, a noble family in Xizhou, but I am a posthumous child. I have never seen him since I was born. My mother was a disciple of Xuanbing Sect. Before she died, she took me back to Xuanbing Sect. But the people of Xuanbing Sect don't like me because... my master died because of my mother."
"Currently, all the True Lords and Dao Lords with titles beginning with the character qing are disciples of Master. Except for Master, most of them don't want to see me. I have sent messages to Xizhou many times to ask them to take me back, but there has been no news from Xizhou. I am a person abandoned by everyone, and I... Xizhou is not my home either."
"In that case, you should go to Xizhou." Ruan Xing stood up and said confidently, "You should go and ask them why they don't want you. On what basis do they not want you? You are less than 30 years old and have already reached the Golden Core stage. Looking at the Five States, isn't that something to be proud of? Ask your uncles, aunts, grandparents, elders, cousins, why?"
Qin Taihe still cares a lot about the Qin Tai family. When he was young, his mother often described his perfect father to him. He has been yearning for his father since he was a child and is proud of the Qin Tai family. Otherwise, he would not emphasize to others that his surname is Qin Tai.
Seeing Ruan Xing was even more excited than herself, Qin Taihe said weakly: "Maybe they have long forgotten that I exist, and I have never left Xianyuan City..."
Seeing that Qin Taihe was no longer so resistant to her proposal, Ruan Xing directly took Qin Taihe's hand and walked out, "If you hesitate any longer, it will be dark. We will set out for the space-time rift tomorrow. It will be too late for you to run away. Come with me out of the city now. If the peak master disagrees, she will definitely stop you. If she doesn't stop you, it means she agrees for you to run away. Don't disobey the master's order at this juncture."
"Wait..." Qin Taihe wanted to say something else, but Yin Feng was already jumping around in the doorway excitedly. Ruan Xing immediately said, "Yin Feng, let's go!"
Yinfeng lay down, and Ruan Xing directly pulled Qintaihe to sit on it, as if he knew that he had to take emergency measures. Yinfeng did not express any objection to Ruan Xing, and directly took the two of them to run down the mountain as fast as possible.
Qin Taihe couldn't help but question: "Isn't this too conspicuous... If I go out like this, anyone who's not blind will know that I'm going to run away, right?"
"Why do you care whether they saw it or not? As long as the Peak Master is willing to pretend to be blind, what difference does it make whether others saw it or not?" Ruan Xing hugged the back of the white wolf's neck tightly and said incoherently.
The strong wind caused by the white wolf's rapid running almost blew its fluffy hair into Ruan Xing's mouth.
Ruan Xing had no choice but to open the spiritual power shield a little wider, from sticking to the surface of the skin to a distance of ten centimeters from the body, which also increased her spiritual power consumption.
But it was not a big problem. She had a feeling that no one would stop her from leaving the city this time.
Although True Lord Qinghong might not always keep an eye on Qin Taihe, the surveillance on her has not been removed yet. True Lord Qinghong must have known at this moment that she was going to run away with Qin Taihe.
Now it depends on whether True Lord Qinghong will show up.
In the previous simulations, whenever she went on behalf of Qin Taihe or went secretly, she would be stopped by True Lord Qinghong. She didn't know what the result of this attempt would be.
