NOVEL WEB Chapter 27: Kneeling
“Senior Brother, something’s wrong… Sister Chenyu has been expelled from the sect by the Sect Master. She is now kneeling at the entrance of the sect. Can you go and persuade her?”
Zhang Luoyan was shouting below the Forgotten River Cliff, knowing that Zhang Yi would definitely hear her.
“Really annoying. Let her kneel if she wants to. What does it have to do with me?”
Taking advantage of the fact that the Heavenly Fate Map had not generated any new tasks, Zhang Yi wanted to rest during this time and naturally did not intend to pay attention to this matter.
“Senior Brother! Senior Brother, Sister Chenyu helped us when we were in the Great Zhou. Can you please help persuade her?”
After spending those few days together, Zhang Luoyan felt that Zhang Yi was not as difficult to get along with as the rumors said. At least there were some things she dared to speak to Zhang Yi about.
Zhang Yi still ignored her, but Zhang Luoyan’s mouth was like a sparrow’s, never stopping for a day or night. She didn’t believe that Zhang Yi would really sit idly by.
“Why is this girl so talkative?”
Zhang Yi was annoyed and impatiently appeared in front of Zhang Luoyan. “Can you shut up? What does her matter have to do with me? What does it have to do with you?”
“Senior Brother, I knew you wouldn’t sit idly by.”
When Zhang Luoyan saw Zhang Yi appear, a trace of excitement appeared in her exhausted eyes.
“Stop! I still need to cultivate in seclusion. If she wants to kneel, let her kneel!”
Zhang Yi ruthlessly waved his hand.
“Okay, Senior Brother, you can cultivate in seclusion first. I’ll kneel under the Forgotten River Cliff and wait for you to come out.”
Zhang Luoyan nodded and was about to kneel down.
What a retreat to advance!
“If you want to kneel, then kneel. I said I won’t get involved, so I won’t!”
Zhang Yi had seen Zhang Luoyan’s ability to cause trouble before and did not want to have too much interaction with her.
After speaking, Zhang Yi ignored Zhang Luoyan and returned to the top of the Forgotten River Cliff. However, Zhang Luoyan’s voice disappeared. When he used his mind to check the situation below the mountain, he found that Zhang Luoyan was actually kneeling there.
What was even more bizarre was that she was kneeling and eating sugar-coated haws. The ground was already full of bamboo skewers with sugar-coated haws.
Zhang Yi was speechless.
It was the first time he had seen someone kneel and eat sugar-coated haws. And from Zhang Luoyan’s appearance, it seemed that she really thought Zhang Yi was cultivating in seclusion.
‘Let her be. Take advantage of the fact that the Heavenly Fate Map has not issued any tasks, and rest for a few days.’
Zhang Yi thought about how he hadn’t had a peaceful day since the Heavenly Fate Map was activated, so he lay down leisurely, looking as relaxed as he could be.
But he had just laid down for a while when he felt a fragrant breeze blow by his side. Before he could react, a jade foot kicked toward him.
“Zhang Yi, do you know that the Princess of Great Zhou is kneeling at the entrance of the Dao Sect?” Yue Yao asked irritably.
“I know, but what does that have to do with me?” Zhang Yi replied indifferently.
“Hmph, what does it have to do with you? The whole world knows that Shen Chenyu likes you, and for you, she even disregarded her dignity as a princess.”
“You go and make her leave. The Dao Sect cannot have such romantic entanglements,” Yue Yao stated her purpose for coming. She wanted Zhang Yi to personally drive Shen Chenyu away and make her give up completely.
“This is a small matter, you don’t need me to do it. Why not handle it yourself, Yue Yao?” Zhang Yi really did not want to have too much interaction with Shen Chenyu. He had a feeling that too much interaction with her would bring trouble.
“This is an order! Besides… do you want her to still have feelings for you?” Yue Yao could have simply expelled Shen Chenyu, but there was no need to do so. She wanted Shen Chenyu to give up completely.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi realized that Yue Yao was jealous. He smiled and found Yue Yao even more adorable, especially at times like this.
Zhang Yi lovingly patted Yue Yao’s head and said softly, “Okay, I will make her give up completely. Anyone who tries to manipulate me will be rejected by me!”
Attitude was important at this time!
Yue Yao never thought that Zhang Yi would dare to pat her head. She even forgot to dodge and blushed with shyness, but still pretended to be angry and scolded him sharply, “From today on, I don’t want to see Shen Chenyu again!”
After speaking, Yue Yao left. Along the way, she couldn’t help but touch her own red cheeks and feel a hot sensation. “This guy… is becoming more and more daring!”
When she returned to the Moon Shadow Peak, Qingyi immediately noticed something unusual about her. Yue Yao had always been a ruthless fairy high above, but today, she seemed to have emotions.
“Master, are you okay?” Of course, she didn’t dare to ask directly, but she couldn’t help but have a curious heart.
Unexpectedly, Yue Yao immediately returned to her normal expression and asked coldly, “Have you finished everything you needed to do?”
This startled Qingyi, who immediately scurried off to handle matters.
At this moment, Zhang Yi had already appeared in front of the Dao sect gate, and Zhang Luoyan immediately learned of the news. A smile appeared on her lips as she hurried towards the gate. “Senior Brother is always cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He went to find Sister Chenyu without telling me. Could it be that he’s afraid I owe him too much and won’t be able to repay him?”
“Senior Brother is just too thoughtful, it’s just a pity… that the Dao sect forbids emotions and desires.”
Zhang Luoyan thought of all the female disciples who had confessed their feelings to Zhang Yi before, which was a tragic scene. She immediately dismissed the idea.
Before leaving, she also took the time to tidy up the bamboo sticks on the ground. “I can’t dirty Senior Brother’s abode.”
When she arrived at the gate, she found that it was already surrounded by a crowd of people, and Zhang Yi was coldly staring at Shen Chenyu with his hands behind his back.
“Princess, the Dao sect doesn’t welcome you. Please leave!”
Zhang Yi’s voice was cold and unfeeling. If it weren’t for Yue Yao, he wouldn’t even have appeared.
But Shen Chenyu didn’t care about Zhang Yi’s attitude at all. For her, as long as Zhang Yi appeared, it meant that he cared about her, and that was worth her efforts. “Big Brother Zhang Yi, wherever you are, I will be there. I’m not leaving!”
“I know the Dao sect forbids emotions and desires, but as long as I can be by your side, it’s enough for me, even if I’m just a maid!”
The fact that the royal princess of the Great Zhou Empire offered to be a maid was a complete loss of face.
But Zhang Yi didn’t care. What did the royal princess of Great Zhou matter to him when he already had the unattainable cold fairy Yue Yao?
Shen Chenyu’s words sparked a heated discussion, and the female disciples of the Dao sect looked at her with exceptionally fierce eyes.
“Yuck! How could the royal princess of Great Zhou be so shameless? Who does she think she is, wanting to be Senior Brother’s maid?”
“The toad wants to eat swan meat. How delusional!”
“Go away! The Dao sect doesn’t welcome you!”
Zhang Yi was the white moonlight in the hearts of all female disciples of the Dao sect. How could they let Shen Chenyu, an outsider take the lead? They immediately began to curse and drive her away.
But Shen Chenyu didn’t care about others’ attitudes at all. She just stood up straight and looked at Zhang Yi tenderly. “Big Brother Zhang Yi, I grew up in the deep palace from a young age. Only news of you could make me excited. You are my only pillar of support, and all the walls in my palace have your paintings. Now that I’ve finally met you, how could I easily leave you?”
“I, Shen Chenyu, am willing to kneel in front of the Dao sect gate for eternity, just to be with you!”
Shen Chenyu’s eyes were firm as she stared deeply into Zhang Yi’s eyes.
