If I had known I wouldn't have saved you!

Chapter 264 The Past

He looked at the unconscious woman on the bed with deep and slightly sad eyes.

"Master...it's because I'm incompetent that I always cause you to get hurt."

Chi Yan held Fairy Yaoguang's hand and couldn't help but recall what happened before.

Memories of the past flashed through his mind, making him smile, worry, and sigh at times.

After a while, Fairy Yaoguang's hand moved slightly.

Chi Yan came back to his senses and looked at her slightly nervously.

The woman on the bed frowned slightly and her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was about to wake up.

Seeing this, Chi Yan panicked and quickly straightened his clothes and looked around to see if there was anything wrong with himself.

Fairy Yaoguang slowly opened her eyes. She first looked at the ceiling in confusion, then turned her head to look at Chi Yan beside the bed.

"Disciple...how could you?"

Although she recognized Chi Yan, her eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion.

Chi Yan quickly helped her sit up. As soon as their eyes met, he lowered his head in panic and said, "Master...disciple...disciple is back."

For a moment, there was silence in the fairy cabin.

Chi Yan was in a panic, and quickly lowered his head to explain: "Master previously blamed me for not practicing the art of maintaining my youth, and I have kept it in mind. Fortunately, with Eleven's help, I have been able to regain my youth. This way, I will not embarrass Master again."

Fairy Yaoguang remained silent, but tears were faintly glistening in her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.

After a moment, she came back to her senses, quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, smiled and said: "When did your teacher feel that you embarrassed me? To be honest, I was a little worried about you when I left. At that time, you were competitive and had a hot temper. If you continued like this for a long time, you would suffer sooner or later. I didn't expect that you are so stable now, and have grown into a master of your generation, even better than my teacher..."

After hearing such praise, Chi Yan said ashamedly: "No... I am far behind my master. I have not been able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage for a hundred years and have been in hardship for half my life. It is not worth mentioning..."

Fairy Yaoguang naturally knew why he had been stuck in the Jindan stage for nearly a hundred years. She sighed and comforted him, "My disciple, don't just think about the past. Now that you are a Divine Transformation cultivator, you should have the bearing of a Divine Transformation cultivator. Why are you still greedy for the mundane world?"

Hearing this, Chi Yan finally mustered up the courage to raise his head and look into Fairy Yaoguang's eyes.

Their eyes met, and after a moment, they both looked away at the same time.

Chi Yan lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Master... I am such a stubborn person. You know that the things I like will never change from childhood to adulthood. It was like this then, and it is even more so now... It's just that I didn't have time to do anything then, which is a great pity. Now I would rather die than miss it..."

After saying these words, Chi Yan felt somewhat suspicious. How dare he say that?

Could it be that as his youth was restored, his mind was also slowly becoming younger?

But the words had already been spoken, and of course they could not be taken back, so he raised his head and looked at Fairy Yaoguang and said: "But I will not overestimate my own abilities. Master is still Master, and I dare not overstep my bounds without reason."

Fairy Yaoguang was so confused that she didn't know how to respond to these words that sounded like a confession.

She had never fallen in love in her life, let alone opened her heart to like anyone. In her eyes, her disciples were like family members. But when the Heartless Immortal destroyed this family relationship, she didn't know how to face it.

What's more, she is no longer a pure person.

Thinking of this, a trace of sadness flashed across Fairy Yaoguang's eyes. She came back to her senses and couldn't help but look away and said, "Disciple, you must practice well and stop thinking nonsense..."

Hearing this, Chi Yan just sighed, then cupped his hands and said, "Okay... I will remember your words, but Master, I have a small request."

Fairy Yaoguang was stunned and asked, "What request?"

Chi Yan's eyes were gentle and he smiled warmly: "Can I hug you?"

Fairy Yaoguang was a little hesitant about this request. She didn't know if agreeing to it would cause the disciple to misunderstand her.

Chi Yan seemed to know what she was thinking, and immediately explained: "I just remembered how carefree we were as master and disciple in the past, and I want to reminisce the feeling of that time. Master, please treat me as if I have not grown up yet and fulfill this small wish of mine."

Facing his slightly expectant eyes, Fairy Yaoguang sighed slightly and said, "Okay..."

After getting the response, Chi Yan was overjoyed. Without saying a word, he stretched out his arms and hugged Fairy Yaoguang tightly.

He was trembling slightly, unable to hold back the tears in his eyes, and his breathing was choked with sobs.

A hundred years of longing seemed to be concentrated at this moment, making Chi Yan unable to bear the emotional impact.

Fairy Yaoguang was also filled with emotion. Feeling her disciple's sadness, she slowly reached out her hand and patted his back, saying comfortingly, "It's all over... Didn't your master come back..."

The master and disciple snuggled together for a while, then they sorted themselves out and walked out of the fairy cabin.

Chi Yan, with a beaming face, supported Fairy Yaoguang and greeted everyone in the cabin happily.

He was not discouraged because he expected this.

Fairy Yaoguang is not the kind of woman who likes romantic matters. What's more, she has been hurt before and her heart knot has not yet been untied. How can she accept the love of a disciple?

But he will always stay with Fairy Yaoguang until the day she resolves her heart knot.

When Lin Shiyi saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "Fairy, are you okay?"

Fairy Yaoguang nodded and said, "Yes, Chiyan told me that it was Saint Chastity who healed me. I was just about to find her to thank her."

Lin Shiyi explained: "The Saint is now in seclusion to recover her cultivation. Fairy, don't worry, wait until she comes out."

Seeing the stars flashing on the screen of the Thunder Ship, Chi Yan asked, "Are they heading back now?"

Lin Shiyi nodded and said, "Yes, the temple has been emptied, and the monks inside are either dead or fled, or surrendered. It has been completely destroyed, and everyone wants to go home as soon as possible."

Today, the Jade Maiden Pavilion and the Demon Refining Palace are collectively called the Holy Temple. The two sects of monks, together with those who surrendered from the Divine Palace, have several hundred people in total, making it a behemoth in the Hunyuan Star Realm.

The Thunder Ship's escape speed was increased to the maximum, and many cultivators were guarding the ship. Because Lu Qingyao was embarrassed to see Lin Shiyi, she flew ahead with Zhang Xing, Liu Guanli, Qin Yi and others to explore the way.

On the way, the three of them kept asking Lu Qingyao about all sorts of things regarding Lin Shiyi. After being scolded by Lu Qingyao, the three of them dared not ask anymore.

The journey was extremely smooth. There were many independent cultivators blocking the way on the road, wanting to join the Temple. When they heard that the Palace of God had been destroyed, they were extremely happy and naturally looked up to the Temple.

There were also some people who just wanted to join in the fun. When they saw Chi Xiaozi, the leader of the independent cultivators, was there, they immediately rushed to join in, which wasted quite a bit of time.
