Spectating the Angsty Romance of the Master and Disciple from the Sect Next Door Chapter 106

At this time, Jiang Fengmian was not familiar with Li Jin’an and Xie Huaixue; they merely knew of each other, but hadn’t exchanged many words.
In fact, the twenty-year-old Li Jin’an was at an age where she was disliked by everyone; she had no friends, and no one played with her except Xie Huaixue.
Her familiarity with Jiang Fengmian came later, on the demon battlefield. Only after experiencing battles where they completely entrusted their backs to each other, forming a life-and-death friendship, did they become friends.
So when Li Jin’an and Xie Huaixue suddenly appeared before Jiang Fengmian, her first reaction wasn’t pleasant surprise, but fright.
The current Jiang Fengmian didn’t secretly like Xie Huaixue yet. She simply felt that Yinyue Monarch’s personal disciple was incredibly powerful, younger than her, yet with a higher cultivation base. She was filled with admiration, and a competitive spirit. After all, she wasn’t yet that good-natured person, worn down by Li Jin’an to the point of blessing their harmonious romantic fortunes using Xuanyu Peak’s entire supply of romantic luck. She still had a strong drive to improve.
However, just as Li Jin’an’s ignorance and Xie Huaixue’s vast knowledge had already shown signs, Jiang Fengmian, though not yet Xuanyu True Master, was already a kind person.
Although she was very surprised by Li Jin’an and Xie Huaixue’s visit, she still received them very well.
This place had not yet been renamed Xuanyu Peak; Jiang Fengmian’s master was still in charge. Hearing that the two most promising individuals of the next generation had come to play with her disciple, she happily went out to visit friends, leaving the space to the younger generation so they wouldn’t feel awkward.
After Li Jin’an led Xie Huaixue to sit down, she curiously observed the young and naive Jiang Fengmian.
Jiang Fengmian, meanwhile, was curiously looking at their clasped hands, a shy expression on her face, wanting to ask something but too embarrassed.
“Did you two come to find me to avoid Chixin Sword Lord and Yinyue Monarch?” Jiang Fengmian looked around, asking secretively, looking even more furtive than the two who were suspected of early romance.
She thought Li Jin’an and Xie Huaixue had secretly gotten together behind their sect elders’ backs, and fearing that the elders would break them up, they had come to her for refuge.
Otherwise, she couldn’t explain why they, who had been completely unfamiliar before, had suddenly come to find her.
So Jiang Fengmian was very nervous, occasionally glancing outside, terrified that Chixin Sword Lord and Yinyue Monarch would descend from the sky at any moment to forcibly break apart Li Jin’an and Xie Huaixue.
Yes, her capacity for acceptance was very strong. Upon seeing their intertwined hands, she immediately and completely accepted the secret affair between the first and second most talented individuals of their generation.
Li Jin’an put on a straight face and spoke nonsense seriously. “Don’t be nervous. Both our masters arranged a childhood engagement for us, which is why we’re openly holding hands and came here to play with you.”
“Ah, is that so?” Jiang Fengmian was greatly shocked, her face showing the earnest expression only an honest child would have.
Xie Huaixue lowered her head and remained silent, completely handing over the stage to Li Jin’an to perform. Only her quietly reddened ears and slightly upturned lips revealed her mood.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Fengmian became even more convinced, thinking that Xie Huaixue was choosing to evade because she didn’t want to face such a cruel reality.
This was the foremost talent of the Dao Sect’s younger generation!
She should have been firm in her Dao heart, cold and detached.
It must be because she couldn’t stay together forever with the sword cultivator from the neighboring Sword Sect, which made her so decadent and dispirited!
Although she felt she was being tricked, Jiang Fengmian, who was kind-hearted and hadn’t been influenced by any black-hearted schemers, gritted her teeth and said resolutely, “I will help you conceal it! If you need anything from me, just say the word. I am duty-bound!”
Jiang Fengmian’s face was full of righteous generosity; she was just short of patting her chest and saying, “Sacrifice me for the happiness of thousands of families.”
She truly didn’t want to see the tragedy of a pair of lovers being separated due to their sect elders’ opposition, so she was determined to lend them a hand.
In her youth, Jiang Fengmian still had some chivalrous heart, willing to rescue others from suffering. Unlike her future self, that numb good-natured person whose edges had been smoothed out by life, who would definitely run as far away as possible at the first sight of Li Jin’an’s antics.
Li Jin’an maintained an expression of heartbroken despair and a resolute determination to risk everything for love. Her free hand tightly gripped the corner of the table, her brows deeply furrowed, veins bulging on her fair arm, as if enduring to the extreme.
Jiang Fengmian watched, increasingly moved by their feelings.
One must know that Li Jin’an, as the Sword Lord’s apprentice, was exceptionally gifted. Her talent in the sword Dao was far ahead of others, with hopes of surpassing her master. Coupled with her arrogant and unruly personality, many junior disciples kept a respectful distance from her. Who would have thought she could appear so vulnerable?
Jiang Fengmian said emotionally, “Seriously, the Sect Master! How could she be so strict with you two! The Dao Sect and Sword Sect aren’t incompatible like fire and water, always fighting on sight. To forcibly break up juniors like this is truly unreasonable and too much!”
“I just think you two are particularly well-matched. Similar in age, exceptional in talent, and good-looking… hmm, one in white clothes, one in red clothes; sitting together, you both look especially beautiful and magnificent.”
“So, you must not lose heart!”
Jiang Fengmian, who wasn’t very good at finding Li Jin’an’s merits, let out a huge sigh of relief after she finished speaking.
Xie Huaixue, on the other hand, was easy to praise. But praising only Xie Huaixue in this situation would surely create a greater rift. What if Li Jin’an felt that Xie Huaixue was so good she was even more unworthy of her? Although given Li Jin’an’s personality, such a thing would never happen, it was still better to be careful.
Li Jin’an once again clenched her jaw, enduring and enduring, but this time it was out of fear of laughing too loudly, not because she was saddened by the elders’ and her Dao companion’s expectations of her.
See? She knew it. When she was unhappy, coming to Jiang Fengmian would instantly make her happy.
Why didn’t she know Jiang Fengmian was so easy to trick before!
This was the kind of scene she should have encountered and enjoyed upon returning to the past!
Li Jin’an really couldn’t hold it in. She burst out laughing, swaying back and forth, collapsing onto Xie Huaixue.
Jiang Fengmian, sitting opposite, didn’t understand why. She became very stiff and at a loss, deeply suspecting that Li Jin’an couldn’t handle such a huge blow and that her mind had gone awry.
She wouldn’t go crazy on the spot, would she!
Where would she find another sword Dao genius to compensate the Sword Sect!
Even if she sold herself and her master, they couldn’t afford to compensate!
Xie Huaixue tilted her head and looked out the window, as if she couldn’t bear to look directly.
After a long while, Li Jin’an finally calmed down. Xie Huaixue helped her straighten her disheveled clothes. Once she sat up straight, she looked at Jiang Fengmian, her brows deep in thought.
Jiang Fengmian’s bad premonition grew stronger.
“There’s also a third possibility: I came from the future specifically to see you, an old friend.” Li Jin’an spoke without preamble, her smile not yet completely faded. Her phoenix eyes narrowed as she opened her empty palm and pushed it forward, gesturing for Jiang Fengmian to listen closely to her next words. “So, out of these three possibilities, which one do you choose to believe?”
Jiang Fengmian blinked her eyes, tilted her head, and let out a confused “Huh?” from the depths of her soul.
The honest and obedient child had finally met the most unruly “bad child” among her peers, and was forcibly pushed through the door to a new world.
Li Jin’an nodded, confirming that Jiang Fengmian’s hearing was perfectly fine, and mercifully repeated herself.
Jiang Fengmian still wore that dazed and foolish expression, finally changing her words to, “What?”
Li Jin’an was amused by her, and burst out laughing again.
Jiang Fengmian suddenly came back to her senses, trembling as she asked, “Fellow Daoist Li, you’ve been tricking me all this time, haven’t you?”
“Not exactly tricking you,” Li Jin’an said, counting Xie Huaixue’s fingers one by one. “My master did indeed want to forcibly arrange a marriage for us, but Yinyue Monarch stopped her. They were indeed discussing matters on Yinyue Peak, but not to break us up. Finally…”
She drew out the ending, staring intensely at Jiang Fengmian.
Jiang Fengmian’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
“I did indeed come from a thousand years in the future to meet you all now.” Li Jin’an cheerfully exchanged a glance with Xie Huaixue, then looked back at Jiang Fengmian. “It’s been a few days. Hello, Xuanyu True Master.”
When those four words were spoken, Jiang Fengmian immediately froze, her heart rate rapidly accelerating. Her intuition told her that Li Jin’an wasn’t lying.
Her future Daoist title would definitely be Xuanyu True Master.
“Ancestral Master above! This is too, too, too…”
Yes, she believed again.
Otherwise, she couldn’t explain how the two, who had looked unhappy just two days ago, were now intertwined hands and hugging. Even riding flying swords and spiritual boats wouldn’t be that fast!
Li Jin’an asked in an enticing tone, “Do you want to know what you’ll be like in the future?”
“Yes!”
Jiang Fengmian, only thirty-something years old, didn’t even have time to get angry about Li Jin’an and Xie Huaixue tricking her before she walked right into the trap.
Li Jin’an “Aiya”ed, then said magnanimously, “Alright, alright, I’ll tell you.”
Jiang Fengmian felt something was off, but before she could think, her attention was diverted by Li Jin’an’s next words.
After Li Jin’an mumbled on, bored of waiting, the three of them even left the sect to go to the front lines near the demon race on Three Realms Mountain to slay demons together.
Although Jiang Fengmian doubted most of what Li Jin’an said, one thing was certain—they would definitely be friends in the future, the kind who often kept in touch.
Otherwise, Li Jin’an wouldn’t tease her so easily!
After having a pleasant time playing outside and greatly making a name for themselves, Yinyue Monarch’s little paper crane summoning them back flew into Li Jin’an’s hand.
