I Don’T Want To Be This Master For A Day Anymore. Chapter 26
byI’m very happy
Today was the last day that the witch cultivator gave Qiu Yin’an. Early in the morning, Qiu Yin’an went to Hai Di to ask how Yao Yu’s detoxification was progressing.
Before the two of them could say a few words, Yao Ye rushed in.
Yao Ye rushed to Qiu Yin’an, took his arms and begged: “Yin’an, the elders say that my sister has been poisoned by voodoo. You must find a way to save her. She cannot die. She is my only relative in this world.”
Qiu Yin’an comforted him: “Don’t get excited yet. Hai Di is already trying the antidote. Just as he is saying this, you will come. You can also listen to it.”
Yao Ye went to play the sea flute again: “Really? My sister has been saved, right? She will definitely be fine, right?”
Hai Di: “Young Master Yao, please listen to me calmly. Although I have developed the antidote, it cannot completely resolve the voodoo poison. It can only save Lord Yao’s life for one year.”
Yao Ye fell to the ground and cried at the top of his voice: “No, she is so good, how can she only have one year left to live? If she practices so hard, she will definitely become a sage and live a hundred years. She will also ascend to immortality and get rid of the pain of reincarnation. This is the bright and brilliant future she deserves. She should not only live for one year.”
Yao Ye sat on the ground, crying like a helpless child, “My sister is such a good person, she shouldn’t end up like this. A fool like me has a cheap life, why can’t I be the one who is poisoned, but she must be the one who is poisoned.”
Qiu Yin’an gave Hai Di a look, and Hai Di withdrew, leaving only Yao Ye and him in the room.
Qiu Yin’an wanted to pull him up from the ground, but Yao Ye couldn’t afford it, so he crossed his legs, sat on the ground with slumped shoulders and cried loudly. Qiu Yin’an had no choice but to sit on the ground and stay with him.
After a while, Yao Ye’s voice became hoarse from crying. He couldn’t howl out, and the only sound left in the room was sobbing.
Qiu Yin’an gently placed his hand on Yao Ye’s knee, patted it, and comforted him: “Yao Ye, the witch cult will come to Jiuling Mountain tomorrow. What they want is the soul protection lamp, not your sister’s life. There may not be any room for maneuver in this matter. There may be a turning point.”
Yao Ye cried and asked: “Yin’an, can you give the soul-protecting cup to the shaman? Can I exchange it for the antidote and find a way to get it back?”
Looking at Yao Ye’s eyes that were red from crying, Qiu Yin’an couldn’t open his mouth for a long time. The word “no” got stuck in his throat and couldn’t come out.
Qiu Yin’an’s eyelashes trembled slightly and he said, “I’m sorry.”
Although the rejection was tactful, Qiu Yin’an felt that Yao Ye’s heart must have been stung by his words.
Qiu Yin’an explained: “Now that Brother Chengying’s heart is damaged, and Chen Liang is connected with the shaman cultivator, if I don’t have the soul protection lamp in my hand, I really have no hope at all to prevent the demon clan from breaking out of the world.”
“Didn’t you make that soul-protecting lamp? Give this to the witch cultivator first, and then we will make a few more. Whatever is missing, Jiulingshan will try its best to find it, so that we can still be better than them. This soul-protecting lamp will be used first to deal with emergencies.”
Yao Ye knelt on the ground, “Yin’an, I beg you, please save my sister. I didn’t intend to embarrass you, but I really don’t want to watch her die. I obviously had the opportunity to save her, but I didn’t ask you to save her.”
“Yao Ye, please don’t kneel to me, I beg you.” Qiu Yin’an held Yao Ye’s shoulders, “If the soul-protecting lamp is not a fake, it is real.”
Hearing this, Yao Ye was stunned, and Qiu Yin’an confessed: “I lied in order to get the various sects to strengthen the barrier with me. The Soul Guarding Lamp is a divine weapon with infinite power and cannot be reproduced.”
Yao Ye fell a little behind. He locked his eyes with Qiu Yin’an and asked, “Yin’an, do you not want to give it to me and are you deliberately lying to me?”
Qiu Yin’an: “When the sword was paired with the moon that was destroyed by Jingyan that day, you recited your own determination. Do you think I lied to you?”
Qiu Yin’an once told Yao Ye about the determination to protect the soul lamp when he was a child. The two of them thought about it as a funny remark at the time. Later, Qiu Yin’an’s father heard it and Qiu Yin’an was severely beaten. Yao Ye was afraid of being beaten and lied that he had forgotten it because of fear, so he escaped. So even though he has not talked about that determination again for so many years, Yao Ye is still deeply impressed.
That day he was holding the soul-protecting lamp in his hand, and Yu Jingyan raised his sword to strike at him. He was so focused on dealing with Yu Jingyan that he didn’t realize that the imitation soul-protecting lamp was as determined as the genuine one.
All the powerful magic weapons in the world have their own determination. No two magic weapons can be activated by the same determination, even if they are copied from the gourd.
Jiuling Mountain specializes in refining various magical weapons. Yao Ye knows this very well. Qiu Yin’an is not lying to him. This soul-protecting lamp is real.
Yao Ye seemed to have been pushed hard and fell to the ground. He looked pale and said with trembling lips: “We can’t let Wu Xiu and the others do that. Absolutely not.”
“I’m sorry Yao Ye.” Qiu Yin’an should have been relieved that Yao Ye could figure it out so quickly, but instead his heart became heavier.
“Yin’an, don’t worry. I won’t cause trouble for you in big matters. Don’t feel guilty. I won’t blame you. I only blame myself now. Why don’t I practice well? Why can’t I protect my sister?” After Yao Ye finished speaking, he couldn’t stop crying.
Yao Ye’s voice was hoarse and his voice was not loud. The small cry penetrated into Qiu Yin’an’s ears, and then penetrated into Qiu Yin’an’s heart, making Qiu Yin’an feel uncomfortable along with Yao Ye.
Tears welled up in Qiu Yin’an’s eyes. He suddenly felt so aggrieved. He obviously had the supreme magic weapon to protect the soul and the ability to protect the peace of all people in the world, but he could not save the people who needed saving most at this moment. It was really ridiculous.
Before the pain of life, separation, and death, all comfort seemed too small. Qiu Yinan stayed with Yao Ye until Yao Ye finished venting.
Qiu Yin’an wiped her tears and said, “Yao Ye, I also want to save her, but the soul-protecting lamp is the only hope for the world of cultivation. I’m sorry.”
“Yin’an, I know what is more important. We cannot risk the lives of everyone in the world just for my sister’s safety. I just feel that I am not a good brother.”
Yao Ye’s face was stained with tears and he couldn’t shed any tears. He looked ahead distractedly and continued: “Ever since I was born, my parents have noticed that my foundation is weak, so they never put their thoughts on me. Only my sister doesn’t care about my foundation.It’s not fundamental. She only knows that I am her brother. You know, I was raised by my sister. In this world, she is the one I can’t let go of most. But now, I have to give up saving her.I’m sorry for her kindness to me.”
Qiu Yin’an: “Even if this soul-protecting lamp is in your sister’s hands, she will never compromise based on her character. She is a sensible person and will not blame you.”
Qiu Yin’an sat on the ground with Yao Ye for a long time, until it was almost sunset and the light in the room dimmed.
“Yin’an, do you think if she had gotten married one day earlier, would she have been able to escape this disaster and the shaman cultivator wouldn’t have been able to find her?” Yao Ye asked, “Where are the people from Fengyun Village? Why hasn’t Liu Senyuan come to see my sister for so long? Isn’t he in Jiuling Mountain?”
Qiu Yin’an: “Liu Senyuan sent someone to reply, saying that the witch cultivator is in danger. He told your sister to be more careful and discuss the marriage later.”
“I’m a fucking loser.” Yao Ye suddenly became furious and his eyes were scarlet red with anger. He jumped up from the ground and said harshly: “When I finish the matter in Jiuling Mountain, I will fucking destroy Fengyun Village.”
Qiu Yin’an also stood up and said: “Liu Senyuan is indeed a coward and is not worthy of your sister. Hai Di said that he can keep the child in your sister’s belly. Don’t worry. He didn’t tell anyone that your sister was pregnant. He didn’t even plan to tell me. I asked myself.”
Yao Ye waved his hand and said: “It doesn’t matter anymore. My sister is going to die. Why do I care about other people’s gossip? For the rest of the days, I just hope that my sister can spend the rest of her life happily.”
Qiu Yin’an: “How are you going to tell your sister about Liu Senyuan? How disappointed she would be if she knew she fell in love with such a man.”
Yao Ye: “I’ll just say that he died to save my sister. After I finish handling the matter at Jiuling Mountain, I will go and take away the pot from Fengyun Village.”
Qiu Yin’an: “It’s up to you. I won’t judge. Your sister will probably wake up at this time. You can go in and stay with her.”
“Yeah.” Yao Ye walked towards the back room.
“Wait a minute, Yao Ye.” Qiu Yin’an stopped him. He took out the soul-protecting lamp from his sleeve and handed it to Yao Ye, “Tomorrow, after I help you send the witch cultivator away, I will leave for Hanling Baiya. I will leave this soul-protecting lamp to you first, so that you can deal with it better if the witch cultivator and Chenliang come to trouble again while I am away.”
Yao Ye’s dry eyes became wet again, “Yin’an, now that my sister is in this situation, how dare you hand over the soul-protecting lamp to me?”
Qiu Yin’an: “Why don’t you dare?”
Yao Ye looked at Qiu Yin’an silently, and after a moment he showed a happy smile. He refused: “I don’t want it.”
Qiu Yin’an took Yao Ye’s gauze-wrapped hand and put the soul-protecting lamp on it. “Brother Chengying is also going to Hanling Baiya with me. I really can’t trust you with your little ability. You know the determination of the soul-protecting lamp. With the soul-protecting lamp here, with your sister’s skills, I will definitely be able to protect Jiuling Mountain. I can also look for the sitting Buddha’s hand with peace of mind.”
The corner of Yao Ye’s mouth twitched a few times. Qiu Yin’an didn’t know what he wanted to say. He refused to listen to the polite words. He felt that there shouldn’t be such frivolous things between him and Yao Ye. He clasped Yao Ye’s fingers and asked Yao Ye to hold on to the soul-protecting lamp, “Don’t worry about it, just take it.”
Yao Ye hugged Qiu Yin’an: “Yin’an, thank you, don’t worry, I will only use this soul-protecting lamp where you let it be used.”
Qiu Yin’an hugged him and said, “I believe you.”
Yao Ye, a guy who loves to be impulsive, is now so sensible when it comes to his sister’s life and death, which makes Qiu Yin extremely distressed.
When Qiu Yin’an returned, the sunset was just beautiful on the horizon, so he sat on a stone bench and watched for a while. The aroma of osmanthus suddenly came to his nose. He had been hungry for a long time, and Qiu Yin’an’s first reaction was that someone had made osmanthus cake.
He smelled the aroma and turned around, and saw someone who couldn’t eat it. It was his young apprentice Wan Qiongju.
Qiu Yin’an swallowed and sat back on the stone bench. He once said that the snakeskin gloves had the smell of an animal, so Wan Qiongju asked someone for flower oil and applied it on the gloves to cover up the smell he didn’t like. The scent of osmanthus came from the gloves.
Wan Qiongju trotted forward and said, “Master, I haven’t seen you all day.”
Qiu Yin’an raised her lips and snickered, “I haven’t seen you for just a few hours, and you are so anxious to find me.”
Wan Qiongju sat in front of Qiu Yin’an and smiled stupidly, “I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I’m used to being inseparable from my master. When I can’t see him for a while, I feel panicked.”
Qiu Yin’an leaned lazily on the stone table, holding his chin in one hand. He blinked and said, “What should I do? There will be times when you can’t see me in the future.”
Wan Qiongju: “No, I will always be inseparable from Master.”
Qiu Yin’an: “There will always be that kind of time, for example – there are flowers and candles in the wedding room. I don’t believe you can still think of me when you hold the bride in your arms on your wedding night.”
It was originally meant to tease Wan Qiongju, but as he said it, Qiu Yin’an felt sour. He naturally hoped that the person who would have a romantic night with Wan Qiongju in the future would be him, but what should he do if it was not him, but someone else?
Thinking of this, Qiu Yin’an felt a throbbing pain in her heart.
Qiu Yin’an didn’t want Wan Qiongju to accept his love under oppression, so he was destined not to be the active one. He could only wait for the day when Wan Qiongju couldn’t help herself and fell in love with him, so that his relationship could be consummated.
But Qiu Yin’an is not the god in charge of marriage, so how can he ensure that Wan Qiongju will fall in love with him?Obviously, he can’t.
If he is not chosen by Wan Qiongju, then he will really have to watch Wan Qiongju spend the last month with someone else.
He was about to go to Hanling Baiya. This period of time was very important to Qiu Yin’an. If Wan Qiongju hadn’t developed any feelings for him other than master-disciple during this period, Qiu Yin’an felt that he would be completely out of luck.
As a direct disciple of Mu Yang Xianzun in the cultivation world, Wan Qiongju will definitely meet countless people in the future and take the initiative to visit him. Qiu Yin’an doesn’t know how he will win in this fight. His only advantage is that he is close to the water.
When he comes back, he will take Wan Qiongju to the Immortal Sect Conference. This little brat is stunning in appearance and talented. He doesn’t know how many hearts he has to win. Wan Qiongju might just pick one, and by then he won’t have time to talk to him anymore.
The more Qiu Yin’an thought about it, the unhappy, upset, and frightened she became.
Wan Qiongju: “Master, I will have you no matter what in the future. I want to have you in every step of my journey.”
Qiu Yin’an: “I also want to be a teacher, but the person who will accompany you for life will not be your master, but your Taoist companion.”
Wan Qiongju looked into Qiu Yin’an’s eyes and asked, “Who will be Master’s future Taoist companion?”
Qiu Yin’an looked into Wan Qiongju’s eyes and replied, “I don’t know.”
The two people’s eyes intertwined, and Qiu Yin’an really wanted to say, if you want it, it will be you, if you don’t want it, there won’t be.
Qiu Yin’an stared at Wan Qiongju for a long time. Finally, he lowered his eyes and buried his love in his heart again. He thought that he should obey God’s will. At least now Wan Qiongju only has him as his master in his eyes, so he should be content.
After a long while, Wan Qiongju said: “Master, if you never find someone you like, I will stay with you in Xishan Palace for the rest of my life.”
Wan Qiongju’s eyes were entangled with Qiu Yin’an, but Qiu Yin’an didn’t see it. He looked at the sunset on the horizon and said something against his will: “You don’t have to accompany me. I hope you can be with the person you like. You will live a happy life. Nothing else matters.”
Wan Qiongju: “Okay, I will definitely do it.”
After looking up for a while, Qiu Yin’an’s neck felt tired. He moved a few times and said, “I don’t want to look anymore, I’m hungry.”
Wan Qiongju: “The food is ready in the house, then we will go back to eat.”
On the way back, the two of them walked side by side. Qiu Yin’an sighed and said to Wan Qiongju: “After a birthday, you have become a lot more mature and steady.”
Wan Qiongju: “Master, where did you find out?”
Qiu Yin’an looked down at the tips of her shoes and said, “You used to be very clingy to me, and you would hold my arm when walking.”
Wan Qiongju chuckled lightly and took Qiu Yin’an’s arm, “I also like to stick to Master now, and it won’t change no matter how many birthdays I pass.”
Qiu Yin’an wanted to take this opportunity to hold hands with Wan Qiongju for a while. In fact, when Wan Qiongju held his arm just now, he was able to hold Wan Qiongju’s hand. It was not surprising that the two masters and disciples were intimate. However, Qiu Yin’an had something in his heart, and he felt guilty. He encouraged himself for a long time in his heart, but did not take action, thus missing a good opportunity.
At this moment, Qiu Yin’an felt itchy in his heart. If he couldn’t touch it, he would be greedy to death. So he looked ahead with what he thought was a calm attitude, and then with all his strength, he grabbed Wan Qiongju’s hand.
He thought he could enjoy the feeling of skin-to-skin contact with Wan Qiongju, but what he touched were slippery snakeskin gloves. Qiu Yin’an was disappointed.
He curled his lips and asked, “How long are you going to wear these gloves?”
“Senior Brother Hai Di said it will be half a month later.” Wan Qiongju took his hand back from Qiu Yin’an’s hand. He took off his gloves and said, “I don’t like wearing them all the time.”
Wan Qiongju only picked this one, and then lowered his hand within Qiu Yin’an’s reach.
Qiu Yin’an stared at the hand, walked to the threshold of the arch, pretended to stumble, and held Wan Qiongju’s hand with a whoosh. The moment their fingers intertwined, spring water rippled in Qiu Yin’an’s heart, and the longing in his heart was finally filled. He couldn’t help but said: “Wan Qiongju, I like you very much.”
Afraid that Wan Qiongju would notice something, Qiu Yin’an added: “I’m very happy to have you as my disciple.”
