122: Chapter 122 You are also the most important person to me

Right behind Mo Zixing,

Su Li quickly followed him.

Seeing the medicine bottle in his hand, Su Li more or less understood what had just happened.

"Was Liu Qingyan here?"

She didn't cause a scene, only asking in a soft voice.

"Mm."

Mo Zixing nodded and looked in the direction Liu Qingyan had left, a complicated look in his eyes.

"Are you going to chase after her?"

Hearing her say this, Mo Zixing turned his head in surprise.

"Do you not mind?"

"Of course I mind."

Su Li met his gaze frankly. Her tone seemed calm, but her hands unconsciously clenched tight.

"I haven't forgiven her for what she did back then, and of course, I don't want to share you with anyone."

She paused, turning her head to look into the distance, her voice very light.

"But I know you have her in your heart."

"If you don't go and make things clear, you'll definitely never be able to let it go."

Su Li lowered her head and gave him a gentle push.

"I only hope that when you are with me, you aren't always thinking about someone else."

"Go on, I'll wait for you in the courtyard."

Mo Zixing looked at her dejected expression, reached out to gently touch her cheek, and whispered,

"I'm sorry."

"You don't need to say you're sorry."

Su Li shook her head, forcing a faint smile.

"Go, I'll wait for you to come back."

Mo Zixing nodded.

He no longer hesitated.

With a surge of spiritual energy beneath his feet, he activated his Movement Technique and sped toward Qingdan Peak.

The speed of Thousand Machine Shadows was very fast.

Before long, he had arrived near Qingdan Peak.

The air of Qingdan Peak was always permeated with a faint, ephemeral medicinal fragrance.

It was completely different from the scent of Qingsu Peak.

Mo Zixing had a clear goal and headed straight for the Sleeping Quarters.

He went all the way up the mountain.

He met no resistance.

...

Qingdan Peak.

Inside the Sleeping Quarters.

Liu Qingyan stumbled into her room and slammed the door shut behind her.

Leaning against the door, she slowly slid down until she was sitting on the floor.

Tears fell uncontrollably.

She forcefully wiped the tears from her face and took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions.

But the image of Mo Zixing holding Su Li just now kept flashing through her mind.

Just thinking about it made her feel like she couldn't breathe.

She couldn't hold it in any longer.

She lunged at the bed and grabbed a pillow.

She smashed it down violently.

Again and again.

But even so, she couldn't vent the accumulated grievances and pain in her heart.

She thought she could always pretend not to care.

She thought that just silently staying by his side would be enough.

But when she saw Mo Zixing holding Su Li and calling her the most important person,

the defenses in her heart collapsed in an instant.

At that moment,

a knock came from the door.

"Who is it?"

Liu Qingyan suddenly looked up, quickly wiped the tears from her face, and said with feigned calmness,

"Did I not say that no one is allowed to enter my Sleeping Quarters without permission?"

"Revered Master, it's me."

The room fell silent for a moment before her permission finally came.

"Come in."

Mo Zixing walked in and then gently closed the door.

Liu Qingyan was sitting on the bed, keeping her back to him.

"Why are you here?"

"To see you, Revered Master, of course."

Mo Zixing walked over and sat down beside her.

"Why did you come to Qingsu Peak only to leave?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Liu Qingyan turned her head away, reaching out to tuck her disheveled silver hair behind her ear, trying to hide her loss of composure.

"I just went out for a walk and only just returned."

Mo Zixing held up the small medicine bottle and held it out in front of her.

"Then what about this?"

Liu Qingyan's body stiffened.

She looked at the familiar medicine bottle.

This was the Healing Pill she had spent half a day specifically refining for him.

She only wanted him to properly replenish his depleted spiritual energy after returning from the Secret Realm.

She hadn't expected...

Her emotions surged, and she could no longer keep up the act.

Liu Qingyan's shoulders trembled slightly, and tears once again flowed uncontrollably.

"I saw everything, and I heard everything."

She looked up.

At some point, her eyes had become blurred with tears.

She looked at Mo Zixing, her voice still carrying a hint of a sob.

"I saw you holding Su Li, saying she's the most important person in your heart."

"But, but..."

She choked up, her chest heaving violently.

"I saved all the best things for you."

"I personally taught you Alchemy Techniques, gave you all the Heaven And Earth Treasures I collected, personally took you through the most dangerous Secret Realms, and searched for Opportunities with you."

By the end,

she finally couldn't help but burst into loud sobs.

"I've been with you from the moment you entered the Inner Sect until now. What has she ever done for you?"

"Why isn't the most important person in your heart me?"

This was the first time Mo Zixing had seen her show such emotion.

Seeing Liu Qingyan crying like this, his heart didn't feel very good either.

It seemed his weight in her heart was much, much heavier than he had anticipated.

Mo Zixing walked over quickly and pulled her tightly into his arms.

"Don't cry anymore, Revered Master."

He gently patted her back.

"I know, I've been too greedy."

Liu Qingyan struggled desperately in his arms, trying to push him away.

But Mo Zixing held her very tightly.

She couldn't break free at all.

"Why did you come here?"

She cried while lightly pounding his chest with her fists.

"Let me go, go find your Su Li!"

"I'm not leaving, I'm staying right here."

Mo Zixing let her hit him and whispered in her ear,

"In my heart, you have always been my most important Revered Master."

Liu Qingyan's movements paused.

She looked up.

She looked at Mo Zixing through teary eyes.

"What did you say?"

Mo Zixing looked at her red-rimmed eyes and reached out to gently wipe the tears from her face.

"I said, you are irreplaceable in my heart."

He spoke seriously.

"From the day you became my Revered Master, no one could take your place."

"Su Li is important, but so are you."

"I've never thought about giving up on either of you."

As he finished speaking,

he leaned down and kissed her lips.

The salty taste of tears spread between their lips.

It carried a hint of bitterness,

yet it was incredibly hot.

Liu Qingyan was stunned for a moment.

Then she suddenly threw her arms around his neck,

responding to his kiss frantically.

Suppressed emotions

finally erupted completely at this moment.

She held Mo Zixing tightly, refusing to let go,

as if he would disappear if she loosened her grip.

It was unknown how much time had passed

before the two slowly separated.

"If what you said is truly from your heart, then I can only accept it."

With tear stains still on her face, Liu Qingyan grabbed his collar and tugged hard at the fabric of his clothes.

"But at least for now, I want you to show me with your actions."

"That at this moment, you love me more than her."
