Chapter 1953: Holy Heart Hall
Chapter 1953: Chapter 1953: Holy Heart Hall
In the distance, an ancient place.
Inside a certain ancient and simple room.
A woman, cold as frost, stared at a girl in front of her.
The girl, with a face of absolute beauty, currently had her face filled with anger, determination, and resolve.
The atmosphere was silent, tranquil.
The two of them, neither spoke, simply staring at each other like this.
Gradually, this silence, this tranquility, became terrifyingly still.
This was the girl’s first time looking at the person she had always revered as her master with such a resolute and angry gaze.
After a while.
The woman, finally, broke the silence first.
"Yiyi, you have always been obedient and have always understood what it means to respect your teacher and follow the path. You never go against my wishes."
"But only when it comes to matters related to that boy, you always manage to make me furious."
"Cough, cough."
As she spoke, the woman pretended to cough softly.
However, this time, the girl was unmoved. Her gaze remained as determined as ever.
"In Yiyi’s heart, the young master and the master are equally important."
"You..." The woman’s face could no longer hide her anger.
The woman’s tone grew increasingly cold, even carrying an unstoppable authority and dominance.
"Yiyi, this time your master will not allow it."
"In three months, all the hidden forces will gather at our Holy Moon Sect."
"Taking advantage of this grand event, I will personally hold a ceremony for you to assume the position of Young Sect Master."
"On that day, it will also be your wedding day with that person from Beiyin Palace."
Listening to the woman’s domineering and indisputable words, the girl’s anger gradually subsided.
In its place was a deeper resolve.
"Not allowed by me?"
"If Master insists on forcing it, Yiyi will naturally not be able to resist."
"But, on the day of the grand event, the one assuming the position of Young Sect Master and the one going through with that so-called marriage, will only be a corpse."
"Are you threatening your master?" The woman, upon hearing this, was first enraged and then let out a cold laugh.
"Fine, if the Holy Moon Sect’s Saintess becomes a corpse, I wouldn’t mind making the entire Xiao Family, along with that little good-for-nothing, corpses as well."
"Master, you..." The girl’s face changed drastically.
At this moment, the kind smile of the master she once respected turned extremely cold and made her heart tremble and chill to the core.
The woman continued to sneer coldly.
"I heard that Xiao Yi, that little good-for-nothing, just gained a little fame in the Central Region."
"Now, he’s about to fall."
"A pity, truly a pity."
The woman sneered coldly.
Even though she knew that the so-called ’little good-for-nothing’ had already ’fallen’ by the hands of the Four Great Elders of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Sect.
But she was still able to use this as leverage to make the girl in front of her unable to resist.
"Master..." The girl bit her lip.
On her exquisitely beautiful face was an expression of extreme complexity.
Anger? Fear? Determination? Sadness?
No, it was indescribable and inexplicable.
The contradiction and conflict of wanting to resist desperately, yet having the most important chord in her heart held in someone else’s hand, made her extremely complicated.
This complexity was derived from what was most important to her, or rather...her thoughts.
Perhaps, she would collapse.
But, before the collapse, the woman apparently had everything under control, easing her tone at the right moment.
"Yiyi, I know you can’t forget that good-for-nothing."
"But you can’t keep waiting for him forever, that’s not fair to you, and I don’t want you to endure such unfairness."
"You, as the Holy Moon Sect Saintess, and he, just a minor figure in a small family in the Eastern Domain."
"He is not worthy of unfairness to you, let alone to the Saintess of Holy Moon Sect."
"You should know, I have given him a chance."
The woman spoke with ’profound sincerity.’
Like a ’kind-hearted’ elder.
"I heard from Cang Yue, that boy made a three-year pact."
"Now, there are barely three months left until the three-year pact."
"For you, I will give him one more chance."
"If he truly comes within three months, then I will cancel your marriage with Beiyin Palace."
"But if he doesn’t come, it means he has long forgotten about you."
"Continuing to think about him is pointless."
The girl’s resolute expression finally showed a hint of loosening.
The complex expression gradually faded away as well.
"Thank you, Master." The girl showed signs of delight, "The young master, he will definitely come."
"Then let us make a bet." The woman smiled indifferently.
"The marriage will proceed simultaneously with the grand event as scheduled."
"Whether or not that boy truly has you in his heart, whether he is truly worth you waiting for, we’ll see at the hidden forces’ grand event in three months."
"If he truly is incapable, if he truly has forgotten you, and is just an indifferent and unfaithful person who speaks empty words."
"Then, three months later, you will peacefully marry that person from Beiyin Palace."
Having said that, the woman turned around and left.
Only, at the moment she turned around, the suppressed anger and coldness on her face were no longer contained, all written across her face.
...
The woman had just left.
A girl about 23 or 24 years old and an old man, having saluted the woman at the door, stepped inside leisurely.
The girl, dressed in a fitted purple outfit, walked with decisiveness and a gallant demeanor.
However, the soft and delicate little purple fringes on the edge of her sleeves, as if ornaments for a young girl, demonstrated that she also had a gentle side.
That white and exquisite face, though not considered unparalleled, was indeed captivating, combined with that trace of heroism, made her extremely attractive.
The girl in purple, looking around, laughed as she walked.
Finally, she walked next to Yiyi.
"Tsk tsk, Yiyi, this isn’t just a room."
"Linlang full of treasures, rare things from the world are all here, it’s basically a palace."
Beside her, the old man chuckled, "This here is the Holy Heart Hall, in our Holy Moon Sect, it’s the first hall aside from the Saint Lord’s Holy Moon Hall, naturally it is..."
The girl in purple glared at the old man, disgruntled, "Elder Kuyue, we’re two young women talking, don’t you think it’s very inconvenient for you to be here?"
Hearing this, the old man nodded lightly and took a few steps back.
Yiyi looked at the girl in front of her, suppressed the complex expression on her face, and forced a smile. "Little Sister Dongfang, what brings you here today?"
"This Holy Heart Hall, to me, is not much better than an ordinary bedchamber."
"It’s just daily meditation, daily cultivation, daily..."
Yiyi’s words abruptly stopped.
"Daily longing, right?" The girl in purple said softly.
Yiyi, upon hearing this, didn’t speak.
The girl in purple spoke softly, "When I came, I saw the Saint Lord full of anger."
"I knew that the Saint Lord must have talked to you about the marriage alliance with Beiyin Palace, and of course knew that Yiyi, you clearly rejected it."
"However, to you, the Saint Lord is both a teacher and a mother. Disobeying a teacher’s command or a parent’s order, do you know what consequences this entails?"
Upon hearing this, Yiyi’s face turned cold, "If Little Sister Dongfang is here to play mediator, then please leave."
