Chapter 443: It’s Snowing

Leaving the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

Lin Xun felt that his most urgent matter at hand was to send Bai Luoxue back to the Huanxi Sect.

However, if he were to send Bai Luoxue back to the Huanxi Sect, Lin Xun couldn’t just simply drop her off.

He definitely had to resolve the issues within the Huanxi Sect, at least to ensure that Bai Luoxue could stay there safely and stably.

Otherwise, if Bai Luoxue were to run around and come looking for him again, it would be quite troublesome.

But…

Lin Xun looked at Mo Wenwen beside him.

“Is Miss Mo also going to the Huanxi Sect?” Lin Xun asked.

Mo Wenwen turned her head to look at Lin Xun:

“The Daoist techniques this humble Daoist cultivates require observing the Dao. If Young Master Lin does not wish for me to go, then I shall simply depart.”

“That’s not it.”

Lin Xun shook his head.

“The Huanxi Sect isn’t run by my family. Whether you go or not is your freedom, Miss. However, you’ll have to ask Luoxue. If she has no objection, then naturally there’s no problem.”

Mo Wenwen was also very direct, turning her head straight toward Bai Luoxue: “Miss Bai, I wonder if this humble Daoist may follow you back to the Huanxi Sect?”

Looking into Mo Wenwen’s eyes, Bai Luoxue took another glance at Lin Xun, then lightly nodded her head:

“Mm, it’s fine. But the Huanxi Sect is very dangerous right now.”

“No matter.” Mo Wenwen gave a ritual bow. “Then I shall be in your care.”

A few days later, Lin Xun and the others returned to the Huanxi Sect.

Lin Xun already understood quite a bit about the situation at the Huanxi Sect.

The situation there was somewhat similar to the previous state of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

Essentially, an Elder who had been in seclusion for a long time suddenly emerged and wanted to seize the position of Huanxi Sect Master.

However, the difference was that what that long-secluded Elder wanted was not just the position of Sect Master.

She wanted Bai Luoxue’s body even more.

That Female Elder wanted to perform a Possession on Bai Luoxue’s body to prove her Great Dao.

After all, a body with a natural Bewitching Bone was extremely rare.

Furthermore, Bai Luoxue was still a virgin.

For that Female Elder, there was no shell more perfect than this.

Lin Xun felt that what he needed to do was quite simple: eliminate that Elder.

After that, everything would be easy to handle.

But…

For some reason.

Lin Xun felt that things were not quite as he had imagined.

After arriving at the Huanxi Sect, Lin Xun didn’t expend much effort to wipe that Elder out.

That Elder probably couldn’t figure it out even at the moment of her death.

Lin Xun clearly wasn’t being controlled by Bai Luoxue, so why would he still help her?

And the other female Disciples of the Huanxi Sect naturally couldn’t fathom what kind of relationship existed between Bai Luoxue and Lin Xun.

But none of that mattered anymore.

What mattered was that Bai Luoxue had returned to the Huanxi Sect.

And that number one Devil Head in the world was standing by her side.

Everything in the Huanxi Sect was already a foregone conclusion.

Then, over the course of about half a month, with Lin Xun’s top-tier martial force providing pressure and Lan Shanshan taking charge of helping Bai Luoxue handle affairs, the rebels were basically eliminated.

Soon, Lan Shanshan got back in touch with those Senior Sisters and Elders who had protected Bai Luoxue and fled with her because they supported her.

The return of those Senior Sisters and Elders further solidified Bai Luoxue’s control over the Huanxi Sect.

From returning to the sect to Bai Luoxue’s complete control over it, less than a week had passed in total.

But for some reason.

Bai Luoxue seemed so indifferent to all of this.

When that Elder died before Bai Luoxue, the girl’s expression was so calm.

There was absolutely no sense of triumph or joy, not even a tiny ripple of emotion.

And when those Senior Sisters and Elders returned and crowded around Bai Luoxue, her expression remained as still as an ancient well.

Many people knew that their Saintess was an Emotionless girl.

So not many people paid it any mind.

After all, they were already used to it.

However, Lin Xun looked at Bai Luoxue’s pair of charming, cat-tailed peach blossom eyes.

What Lin Xun felt instead was a sense of loneliness, emptiness, and desolation.

The expression was clearly the same.

But Lin Xun felt…

It seemed that back in Luo City and at the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, this girl had been much more full of Life Qi.

Lin Xun wasn’t sure what exactly had gone wrong.

One day, just as Lan Shanshan was prepared to have Bai Luoxue inherit the position of Huanxi Sect Master.

Bai Luoxue shook her head, expressing her refusal to inherit the position.

No matter how much Lan Shanshan tried to persuade her, it was useless.

“Why did you refuse?”

Entering Bai Luoxue’s courtyard, Lin Xun asked.

At this moment, the girl was sitting quietly on a wooden chair, her head tilted up as she watched the clouds drift across the sky.

Hearing Lin Xun’s voice, Bai Luoxue finally withdrew her gaze from the sky, rose from the grass, and ran over to him.

Coming before Lin Xun, Bai Luoxue didn’t speak; her eyes just blinked as she looked at him.

“I’m asking why you refused?”

Looking at the Emotionless girl before him, Lin Xun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he flicked her fair forehead.

“That girl Lan Shanshan has been busy running around for you lately, spinning like a top just so you could smoothly succeed as the Huanxi Sect Master.

That way, if anyone else wants to resist you, it won’t be so easy; at least they wouldn’t have the title or the justification.”

“I cannot be the Sect Master.”

Looking into Lin Xun’s eyes, the girl shook her head.

“Why?”

Lin Xun really didn’t understand.

Why couldn’t this silly girl be the Sect Master?

“If I become the Sect Master, it will be hard for me to go out, and I won’t be able to go find you often.”

These words should have been quite mushy.

But the girl just said them with a very calm tone.

Lin Xun also felt somewhat helpless: “Why are you always thinking about finding me? Have you still not thought about giving up on me?”

Bai Luoxue shook her head.

Lin Xun sighed softly: “Forget it. As long as you’re happy.”

“Happy?”

Bai Luoxue lowered her head. After a while, she lifted it back up.

“Lin Xun, what exactly is it like to be happy?”

“…”

Looking into Bai Luoxue’s innocent eyes.

Involuntarily, Lin Xun suddenly remembered what he had promised Bai Luoxue back then.

That was to help Bai Luoxue experience the emotions of the world.

Bai Luoxue wasn’t just a tool to complete tasks, but a real human being.

“I will stay here for a month before leaving.”

“Mm.”

“Do you still remember what I promised you before? I said I would help you experience the emotions of the world.”

“Mm.”

“Then let’s start tomorrow. Starting tomorrow, for a period of one month, I’ll see if I can make some sort of Breakthrough.”

“Mm.”

“Can you stop just saying ‘mm’?”

“Lin Xun.”

“What?”

The girl looked up, her long eyelashes like thin butterfly wings, fluttering gently:

“It’s snowing.”
