Chapter 16: Awakening
The next day, Yun Mengyao and Master Bai Yuting came to the 'Xuanqing Palace', and in addition to the sect master, there was also Teng Xiaofeng in the hall. The other two went to 'Tianyue Fang' to inquire about the news, Ling Yifan was still in a coma, and only Yun Mengyao had to tell the story.
Seeing Yun Mengyao, the sect master said with concern: "How is your body, it doesn't matter!"
Yun Mengyao replied politely: "Sect Master Xie cares, and it will be fine to recuperate for a few days." ”
The next question was the question that several people were concerned about, and the sect master asked Yun Mengyao, "Do you tell me in detail about yesterday's incident?"
The eyes of the three of them were all focused on Yun Mengyao, waiting for her answer.
After a pause, Yun Mengyao recounted in detail the ambush she encountered when she came back, of course, some obscure things between her and Ling Yifan were skipped, such as the words that Ling Yifan said that made him angry, and the later confession.
Several people were secretly frightened when they heard this, they could imagine the danger at that time, and what shocked the three of them even more was that they didn't expect Ling Yifan's combat power to be so strong, although he was seriously injured in the end.
In the end, Yun Mengyao added: "I didn't see any suspicious people when I went, but I heard about the young master from the black-clothed mouth of the leader, and it seems that he came for me." Thinking of what the man in black said, Yun Mengyao judged so.
After listening to Yun Mengyao's statement, the three of them frowned, and there were no useful clues and information from Yun Mengyao's words.
"It seems that we can only wait for the two of them to come back and see if there is any valuable news. Yun Mengyao, go back and rest first!" Yun Canghe said.
Bai Yuting looked at Yun Mengyao with concern, "You go back first, let's stay here for a while." ”
Yun Mengyao nodded yes, looked at Teng Xiaofeng, and said, "Uncle Teng, I don't know how Ling Yifan is now, I want to go and see him." ”
Teng Xiaofeng nodded slightly, "He is in my 'Qingyun Palace', I have sent someone to take care of him, and he has not woken up yet." He was injured more severely, and although he didn't have to worry about his life, it would take a few days to wake up! ”
After listening to Teng Xiaofeng's description, Yun Mengyao's heart tightened, and the three of them left the 'Xuanqing Palace', stepping on the sword trick and going straight to the 'Qingyun Palace' of Huoyun Peak.
Coming to the 'Qingyun Palace', Yun Mengyao found the room where Ling Yifan was according to Teng Xiaofeng's previous instructions, and there were two disciples guarding the room, and they all saluted respectfully when they saw Yun Mengyao coming here. The two disciples also knew a little about Ling Yifan's injury, but they were both gag-ordered by Teng Xiaofeng.
Yun Mengyao said politely: "Two junior brothers, I want to go in and see if Ling Yifan is convenient." ”
The two disciples nodded in agreement and pushed open the door to let Yun Mengyao in.
Yun Mengyao walked into the house, closed the door with her hand, the room was very spacious, and when she walked inward, she saw Ling Yifan lying flat on the bed, Yun Mengyao hurriedly walked to the bed and looked down.
I saw that Ling Yifan's face was pale, but his breathing was still even, and he gently pushed Ling Yifan and saw that there was no reaction, I am afraid that he will not wake up for a while.
Yun Mengyao sat at the head of the bed, looking at Ling Yifan's firm and resolute face, thinking of all the things that Ling Yifan had in her impression. Especially Ling Yifan stood in front of her regardless of life and death, remembering what Ling Yifan once said, "No matter how good your qualifications are, what's the use of not standing up for you when you are in danger?"
Yes, no matter how good a person is, what is the use of him refusing to pay for you! No matter how ordinary a person is, at a critical moment, he knows that he is invincible in front of the enemy, but he can put life and death aside, and stand in front of you without hesitation to block the danger behind you. And the voice that trembled a little because of nervousness, "I like you." Thinking of this, Yun Mengyao's dusty emotions were finally like a hundred refined steel, and at this moment instantly turned into tenderness around her fingers, she gently caressed Ling Yifan's face, this time she did not resist her inner feelings, but chose respect.
Teng Xiaofeng and Bai Yuting of the 'Xuanqing Palace' and the sect leader Yun Canghe sat in the main hall waiting for the news that Feng Yuechan and Gu Songming brought back.
In the evening, the two of them returned from inquiring about the news, and only found one useful news, "After Yun Mengyao and Ling Yifan just left the 'Tianyue Pavilion', someone claimed to be their friend. Feng Yuechan and Gu Songming reported to Yun Canghe after they returned.
"However, our secret divine sense investigation did not find any suspicious people, I estimate that the people who ambushed Yun Mengyao and Ling Yifan should have left here when they saw that the matter was revealed. Feng Yuechan analyzed.
The fact is indeed as Feng Yuechan guessed, several black-clothed people failed in their mission, and after returning to restore their lives, the young man was very angry, and the old man was also furious, and asked the reason to kill the black-clothed man who had reached the fifth order on the spot. Seeing that the matter was revealed, the young man and the old man quickly left the 'Tianyue Fang' with their men and went to other places.
With the forces behind him, he naturally wouldn't be afraid of the Ethereal Sect, but this is not a glorious thing after all, and it is not good for the reputation of the sect to pass it out. Although the young man's status is extremely high, he doesn't dare to do things that insult the sect too much, and some dirty things are done in secret, and afterwards they destroy the corpse and destroy it, leaving no traces and handles for others to find.
Yun Canghe instructed everyone: "You go back and arrange for your respective disciples, go out to investigate, and if you find anything suspicious, immediately report to the sect, and this matter must not be publicized to the public." A few people took the order and left.
Ling Yifan has been in a coma for half a month, and Yun Mengyao has come to see Ling Yifan almost every day during this half month.
During this period, two major events happened in the Ethereal Sect, the first was to learn that Ling Yifan had broken through to Fan within two years. The second thing is to learn that Yun Mengyao and Ling Yifan were ambushed and attacked by a mysterious person on the way back from 'Tianyue Fang', and they were almost killed, and there was a tense atmosphere in the sect.
The disciples who have been in the door and above take turns to go out to investigate suspicious whereabouts.
When Feng Siyuan first heard that Ling Yifan had broken through to Fan within two years, he was shocked and had a little more fear in his heart. Later, when he heard that Ling Yifan was seriously injured and unconscious, he was secretly happy in his heart, hoping that Ling Yifan would die and never wake up again.
In the past half a month, Yun Mengyao has been going to Huoyun Peak every day to visit Ling Yifan, and the disciples in the sect know about it, and Feng Siyuan has even discovered the abnormality in it, if it is said that it is normal to look at it occasionally, after all, it is an injury suffered together. But visiting every day explains the problem, besides, why don't you go to 'Tianyuefang' with others, but the two of them go, thinking of the close relationship between the two before, combined with the facts in front of him, Feng Siyuan suddenly couldn't sit still, but there was no way. So he could only spill his resentment on Ling Yifan, and looked forward to Ling Yifan's return to the West as soon as possible.
On this day, Yun Mengyao was still sitting in front of Ling Yifan's bed as usual, looking at Ling Yifan silently, "It's been twenty days, it's time to wake up." Yun Mengyao gently held Ling Yifan's hand, recalling the few memories between the two, and suddenly, Ling Yifan's fingers moved slightly, waking up Yun Mengyao who was in deep thought.
Yun Mengyao hurriedly looked at Ling Yifan, held his hand, and softly called his name in Ling Yifan's ear. After a while, Ling Yifan slowly opened his misty eyes, and dimly heard someone calling his name, and the light in the room pierced him a little bit. After getting used to it for a while, Ling Yifan looked around, and the first thing that caught his eye was the figure that appeared countless times in his dream in a coma.
"You're awake, I'll pour you a glass of water. Yun Mengyao said with concern, although he didn't say too much, but from Yun Mengyao's slightly haggard face, Ling Yifan could see Yun Mengyao's worry and concern during the time he was in a coma.
Yun Mengyao helped Ling Yifan up and fed him a glass of water. Ling Yifan moved his body slightly, although he was still a little stiff, but it was no longer a big problem, and he could rest for two more days.
Ling Yifan looked at Yun Mengyao and said, "How is your injury, is it okay!"
Yun Mengyao's heart warmed, and the first thing Ling Yifan said when she woke up was to care about her injuries first, "I've been fine for a long time, but you have always made people worry." ”
Looking at his surroundings, Ling Yifan asked, "Where am I, and how long have I been in a coma?"
"You have been in a coma for twenty days, and you are now in your master's 'Qingyun Palace', which is a room specially arranged for you. Yun Mengyao replied softly.
"Oh, I thought this was your boudoir!" Ling Yifan teased in a low voice.
"What do you think, you just woke up and you didn't have a serious attitude, you used to be like this? Then I have to get to know you again. Okay, now that you're awake and your injuries are almost healed, I'll go tell your master, and I'll go back first if it's okay. Yun Mengyao deliberately got up and walked out.
Ling Yifan hurriedly grabbed Yun Mengyao and argued, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Ling Yifan, who has always been silent, didn't know why he spoke so ridiculously when facing Yun Mengyao.
Thinking of what he said to Yun Mengyao before he fell unconscious, he immediately blushed and lowered his head, in fact, he was not blushing because he said that sentence, but because he was afraid of being rejected. In front of Yun Mengyao, he felt very inferior, his background was not noble, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, he was just a waste vein qualification.
Suddenly, Ling Yifan raised his head and looked at Yun Mengyao with a firm gaze, a person's life should dare to love and hate, and there should be no regrets, even if it was rejected, but at least I worked hard to fight for it.
Yun Mengyao was stunned by Ling Yifan's sudden move, looking at his stern expression and determined eyes, thinking that he had something important to say to himself.
Ling Yifan did have something to say to Yun Mengyao, and he didn't know if it was important to Yun Mengyao, but it was very important to Ling Yifan.
"I like you, and I know that maybe I don't deserve you, maybe I can't get your acceptance. I'm just an ordinary person, although I was lucky enough to enter the sect, but due to my qualifications, I can't cultivate as normally as ordinary people.
Maybe my confession is a little abrupt, in my heart you are like a butterfly flying in my dream, the first time I saw you, your figure is like a shadow constantly lingering in my heart, in my mind, lingering. The more I want to forget, the more unforgettable I can't forget. I didn't know what this feeling was called, and I always buried it deep in the dust.
Until the moment when you are in danger, how I wish I could exchange my life for your safety, at that moment I suddenly understood, maybe this is love! At that moment I hated myself for being too weak to even protect the person I liked. I also feel inferior in my heart, and I am not worthy to confess to you, but I still said it.
Whether you accept me or not, but thank you for giving me the opportunity to confess, even if you refuse, but for me I no longer have regrets in my life, because I have worked hard to pursue!"
After saying this, Ling Yifan let go of the hand that grabbed Yun Mengyao, "Thank you for taking care and caring for me during this time, if you can't pick it up, you don't have to tell me, just walk out of this room." Leave a little dignity for my fragile self-esteem, and don't take what I say today to heart, if you can, we will still be friends in the future!"
Yun Mengyao's eyes flashed with crystal tears, and the frozen emotions could no longer be suppressed, she grabbed Ling Yifan's hand with her backhand, and said coquettishly: "Did I say no?"
Ling Yifan didn't think that Yun Mengyao would agree, Yun Mengyao's answer made him stunned for a moment, and then he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he spoke incoherently excitedly, "That... That, you... You are... Promise me?"
Yun Mengyao pretended to hesitate and said, "I didn't promise you, but it depends on your appearance!"
"I will definitely show you well, and I will never let you down!" Ling Yifan swore an oath.
The warm atmosphere in the room spreads between the two...
