Time passes quietly like flowing water. In the blink of an eye, as the seasons change from spring to autumn, the atmosphere within the Orchid Sect has also undergone subtle changes with the passage of time. The attitudes of Liu Feichen, Cheng Poyan, and Bai Yuji towards Yun Xiyue have become increasingly apparent.
One evening, at dusk, Yun Xiyue was alone on the small bridge of the Orchid Sect, quietly gazing at the distant sunset, lost in thought. Suddenly, a light and brisk footstep broke the tranquility, and Liu Feichen landed lightly beside her, wearing his usual smile.
"This beautiful scenery, how can one enjoy it alone?" Liu Feichen said with a smile, as if trying to dispel her worries with his humor.
"Brother Liu, instead of sparring with the disciples of Spirit Wind Valley at this time, why are you here chatting with me?" Yun Xiyue turned to look at him and smiled slightly.
"Heh, compared to those youngsters, I'd rather enjoy the sunset with a beauty." Liu Feichen blinked, always speaking with a hint of jest.
Yun Xiyue chuckled and shook her head, but said no more. She knew Liu Feichen's temperament and didn't take it to heart.
At this moment, Cheng Poyan slowly walked over, his steps steady, just like his character. Seeing Yun Xiyue, and Liu Feichen together, he nodded slightly in greeting: " Yun Xiyue, Brother Liu, the scenery is quite nice."
Liu Feichen raised an eyebrow: "Brother Cheng, this is a rare leisurely elegance for you."
Cheng Poyan looked at Yun Xiyue with a calm tone: " Yun Xiyue, it seems that your cultivation has progressed during this time, which is a good thing. But do not neglect the cultivation of your character because of this."
Yun Xiyue nodded: "Brother Cheng, I will remember your teachings."
At this moment, Bai Yuji seemed to step out of the void, his appearance always carrying a hint of mystery. He glanced at Liu Feichen and Cheng Poyan, then his gaze fell on Yun Xiyue: "Under such a beautiful sunset, why don't we play a game?"
Yun Xiyue smiled slightly: "What do you mean by this, Brother Bai?"
Bai Yuji smiled mysteriously and said, "It's just a simple illusion game, let's see who can hold out the longest in the illusion."
Liu Feichen and Cheng Poyan also showed interested expressions. The three of them formed a circle, and Bai Yuji began to perform his illusion. In an instant, the surroundings rapidly changed, and they seemed to be in another world.
However, this series of tests and games did not cause as much turmoil as Bai Yuji and others had hoped for in Yun Xiyue. Yun Xiyue had long seen through these tests and schemes.
Within the illusion, Yun Xiyue moved gracefully and confidently among various illusions. Liu Feichen's relaxed humor, Cheng Poyan's calm wisdom, and Bai Yuji's mysterious unpredictability all seemed to lose their original colors at this moment, leaving only her unwavering belief in her heart.
Finally, the illusion dissipated, and the four returned to reality. Bai Yuji looked at Yun Xiyue with surprise in his eyes. " Yun Xiyue, your state of mind seems even more steadfast than we imagined."
Yun Xiyue smiled faintly and looked towards the distant horizon, where the evening glow was as fiery as blood, dazzling and captivating. "My actions are nothing more than following my heart's desire. Instead of caring about the ups and downs of the outside world, it's better to stick to one's own beliefs and walk one's own path."
Liu Feichen listened and a bitter smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, while Cheng Poyan nodded, seemingly resonating with Yun Xiyue's words. As for Bai Yuji, a look of deep thought flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, Mo Zetian's figure slowly approached from not far away, his gaze falling on Yun Xiyue with tenderness in his eyes. "It seems I arrived just in time."
Yun Xiyue Turning around, I saw Mo Zetian and felt a flash of joy in my eyes. " Mo Zetian."
Mo Zetian walked to her side, giving a slight smile to Liu Feichen and others. "Thank you all for your company, but now, I want to take her back."
Liu Feichen scratched his head and said with a smile, "Ink, are you jealous?"
Mo Zetian responded lightly, "What is jealousy before love?"
As his words fell, the atmosphere at the scene subtly froze for a moment. Liu Feichen put away his previous smile, Cheng Poyan's gaze became even deeper, and Bai Yuji tilted her head slightly, unable to hide the playfulness at the corner of her mouth.
Yun Xiyue noticed all this, her brows slightly furrowed, feeling both touched and helpless. She knew Mo Zetian's character, direct and simple, but at this moment, his straightforwardness seemed somewhat difficult to resist.
" Mo Zetian, what do you mean by this?" Liu Feichen retorted with a challenging smile on his face. "Do we really appear as obstacles in your eyes?"
Mo Zetian looked at him calmly and said in a cold tone, "Since the three of you are so persistent about Yun Xiyue, then prove it in the way you excel. I don't mind using a sword to settle the matter."
Cheng Poyan sighed lightly, with a look of helplessness on his face: " Mo Zetian, we were just joking, why take it seriously?"
Bai Yuji chuckled softly and said, "That's exactly what I was hoping for. However, if we really want to compete, should we set some rules to avoid hurting each other's feelings?"
Yun Xiyue saw the situation and couldn't help but softly question, "What do you mean by this? Do you really have to resort to force? I don't want my presence to change the relationship between you."
Turning to Yun Xiyue, there was a hint of gentleness in their eyes. " Yun Xiyue, I just don't want to see you always being bothered by them. If they truly have good intentions, then I will naturally back off. But if there are other motives, I hope they will have some scruples."
Yun Xiyue There was a slight movement in the heart, but also knowing that with Mo Zetian's temperament, once a decision is made, it is difficult to change.
Liu Feichen laughed, obviously not taking Mo Zetian's words to heart: "Good, good, good, let's have a fair competition. The loser will no longer make unreasonable pursuits of Yun Xiyue in the future. What do you say?"
Cheng Poyan and Bai Yuji locked eyes and eventually nodded in agreement.
Immediately, the four of them agreed to hold a fair competition on the vast plain outside the Orchid Sect the next morning to determine the outcome of this emotional and ideological contest.
On that evening, the Orchid Sect was quiet, with everyone preparing for the upcoming competition. Yun Xiyue sat alone in her room, despite the turmoil in her heart, she understood that this was a necessary process. She gained a clearer understanding of her feelings and future, and became more determined to face everything with Mo Zetian.
In the early morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the peaks of the Orchid Sect, four young talents of the cultivation world had already gathered at the agreed-upon venue. The air around them became heavy due to their powerful auras.
The competition began, and Liu Feichen made the first move. His figure was like the wind, light and fast, and the wind-walking shoes in his hand emitted a howling wind. However, Mo Zetian just stood quietly, with a steady gaze. As Liu Feichen approached, a sword was drawn, directly resolving Liu Feichen's attack.
Next, Cheng Poyan made his move. The thunder staff in his hand flashed with lightning, accompanied by a deafening thunderous sound as it attacked Mo Zetian. Mo Zetian remained unfazed, and with a gentle swing of the Tianmo Sword, a sword energy tore through the thunderclouds like an ink-colored dragon, turning Cheng Poyan's attack into nothingness.
Finally, Bai Yuji used his illusion technique in an attempt to confuse Mo Zetian. However, Mo Zetian remained steadfast, allowing the illusions to change unpredictably while he remained as steady as an old stone. He pointed his sword directly at Bai Yuji, breaking the illusion's hold.
After several rounds of attack and defense, Liu Feichen, Cheng Poyan, and Bai Yuji finally could not find a way to break through Mo Zetian's defense. They reluctantly stopped, their faces showing both unwillingness and acknowledgment.
Liu Feichen chuckled and said somewhat embarrassedly, " Mo Zetian, it seems that we underestimated you today."
Cheng Poyan took a deep breath and nodded, "Indeed, today's battle has given me a whole new understanding of your strength."
Bai Yuji looked complicated, and he smiled slightly: " Mo Zetian, you won. But don't forget, true victory is winning the heart of Yun Xiyue."
"Then I have already won." Mo Zetian walked towards Yun Xiyue, gently held her hand, and looked at her seriously: "Everything I do is to be able to stand by your side. Not to win over anyone, but to hope that our path can be smoother."
Yun Xiyue Feel the warmth in the palm of your hand, and a touch of emotion flashes in your eyes: "I know, Mo Zetian. From now on, no matter what lies ahead, I will walk with you."
The atmosphere around us has shifted from tension to warmth. Liu Feichen, Cheng Poyan, and Bai Yuji all appear relaxed. They exchange smiles, as if in this moment, all the fighting and dissatisfaction have vanished, replaced by recognition of each other's abilities.
"Since that's the case, let's end today's competition here," said Cheng Poyan with a respectful tone.
Liu Feichen also joked, "Shouldn't we celebrate a little, raise a glass to today's reconciliation and Mo Zetian's victory?"
Bai Yuji smiled slightly and nodded, "Good idea, let's go back and prepare. We'll have a small gathering at Orchid Sect tonight, how about that?"
Yun Xiyue looked at the young talents in front of her and felt emotional, "Thank you, we will attend on time."
Mo Zetian looked into the distance with determination in her eyes.
Everyone nodded in agreement and then returned to Orchid Sect together to prepare for the evening gathering. This competition was not just a test of strength, but also a collision and fusion of hearts. Everyone learned something from it, whether it was cherishing friendship or persevering in oneself.
The evening gathering at Orchid Sect was lively and extraordinary, with everyone setting aside their grievances and engaging in sincere communication. After three rounds of drinks, Yun Xiyue stood up, raised her glass, and said, "Thank you to everyone for coming today, and thank you for your willingness to understand each other. From now on, we are not only companions, but also each other's strongest support."
The crowd raised their glasses in response. That night, Orchid Sect shone brightly, like a shining pearl in the dark night, illuminating the hearts of everyone.
