Utterly Ignorant

Chapter 53: Light and shadow

Mu Lin blushed a little and explained, "My disciple is doing astrological calculations, and because it's not going well, I'm a little upset."

Normally, she would not throw a table full of waste paper balls to show that she was very upset. Her master was calm and reminded her not to be arrogant and impatient.

Unexpectedly, Master Orikawa said in a gentle voice: "Rin'er, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

This is the first time! His master didn't even let her be self-reliant? Mu Lin was flattered.

Facing the gentle gaze of her master, Mu Lin felt as if the gentle water of a hot spring flowed through her heart, slowly soothing all her irritability. The anxiety of the past few days seemed to be dispelled in an instant. She couldn't help but feel a sore nose and whispered, "Master, can I hug you?"

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

After a long moment, a sigh escaped from Orikawa's lips, "Yes."

The sun rises in the sky and shines brightly, the dew falls to the ground and forms patterns, it is known as soaring into the clouds and has the voice of carved dragons, the tides rise and fall without sleep, the heart is broken and the bones are shocked, although there is a deep abyss, it can remain strong even after being refined into gold.

The beauty gently embraced him, delicate and soft, warm and beautiful like a corner of spring. His calm and deep eyes were filled with complex emotions, and a touch of pity flashed through the deepest part of his eyes.

Mu Lin felt that her master was hugging her somewhat stiffly, but his embrace was as soft and light as a feather, which could easily soothe all the anger and suppressed pain in her heart. There was a faint scent of orchid and pine snow on her master's body, and she sniffed it lightly, feeling a little intoxicated and not knowing the way home.

If time could freeze at this moment, I would be obsessed with it for the rest of my life.

Mu Lin's eyes suddenly opened and he immediately and abruptly broke away from his master's arms.

She was not qualified to indulge in the gentle land and the tomb of heroes. Besides, that was her master, noble and inviolable, how could she have the mind to rely on him? If he was misunderstood by others, it would only tarnish his pure white clothes and clear mind.

This would be repaying kindness with enmity.

Orikawa was stunned for a moment, and finally asked the question that he had never cared about before but had been constantly guessing during this period: "Rin'er, where are you from?"

Mu Lin felt a sense of relief as if the second shoe had dropped to the ground. She suddenly knelt in front of Zhechuan and said in a speechless tone: "Master, I'm sorry I can't tell you."

Mu Lin asked herself that she had never thought of involving her master in her blood feud. She concealed her identity before in order to successfully become his apprentice, but now she was not honest in order to prevent her master from being affected.

She is destined to be the enemy of the fairy world, so how could she put her master in an unjust position

Mu Lin's smile contained helplessness and sadness. She said hesitantly: "I didn't mean to deceive you, but please believe me... I am not a wicked person. I will always remember your teachings. If I violate morality, I will pay for it with my body and never redeem myself!"

"Rin'er, Master knows your nature. If you don't tell me, I won't ask anymore." This was over. Orikawa paused, helped her up, and said slowly: "Remember this: eight out of ten things in the world are not going well... Master only hopes that you will be happy and worry-free."

Mu Lin blinked and said, "Then I can postpone this month's homework..."

"No." Orikawa interrupted her expressionlessly.

"Oh." Mu Lin's face was cold in his heart. Where is the peace and worry-free life? He couldn't help crying. Master is a big liar!

"One more thing, stay away from Feng Ling from now on, he has bad intentions towards you."

"Oh, I know." Mu Lin didn't doubt that her master would lie to her, but she couldn't help complaining, "So did you burn his cloak or throw it away, Master?"

"Throw it away." Orikawa replied coldly.

Of course, he would not tell his disciple that he burned the colorful cloak into ashes and then threw it into the soil to use as fertilizer.

Since Mu Lin was unable to circulate the immortal power in her body, Master Orikawa gave her a new task - planting flowers and trees.

There was no strong sunlight in Yingzhou Wonderland, so Mu Lin reluctantly agreed. She found a few gardening books and pondered over them, and wrote a bunch of experience, but when she started to plant the crystal orchid, she still made a mess...

Theory and practice are very different. Mu Lin was afraid of damaging the master's precious crystal orchid, so he asked him to sit aside and watch over it. So Zhechuan sat down and made the zither while giving her some pointers.

The master was relaxed, but the disciple was busy. Mu Lin spent a month to expand the planting area of the delicate crystal orchid. The open space in the back hall was almost surrounded by a circle of white flowers, which was extremely elegant and beautiful.

Mu Lin felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the flowers that came from the same source as her, so she planted a few pots in her bedroom. She asked her master if she wanted some, but he refused.

Mu Lin then remembered that the crystal orchids in the back hall were not planted by his master, but he was taking care of them on behalf of someone else.

The master didn't have many friends. She only knew of the immortal Lord Luochen, the fairy Nanshu, and the emperor fairy Jinghong who had been in the divine world for many years. From the brief description of the master, they didn't seem to be people who loved flowers.

Mu Lin asked her master who the crystal orchid belonged to, but her master remained silent. Then, perhaps thinking it would be okay to tell her, she said, "My mother."

Master Zhechuan smiled faintly, and his jade-like face was tinged with an indescribable wonderful glow, which was more sparse and gentle than Mo Wangchen's comfortable and gentle expression. It was not as warm as a spring breeze, but like a clear wind and a bright moon, which was very touching.

Mu Lin suddenly felt envious. The master must have a very good relationship with his mother. Unlike her, she had never even seen her biological mother, let alone what it felt like to have a mother-son relationship.

Immortal World Xiche Palace

Min Wan looked at the Second Prince lying on the couch with distress, personally applied the elixir to him, and bowed: "I have learned about the accident that happened to the Second Prince in Yingzhou. I will go back and report to His Majesty. I hope Your Highness takes good care of himself."

The Second Prince was obviously in a bad mood, and the entire Xiche Palace was shrouded in dark clouds. He had never suffered such a big loss in his life, and his expression was somewhat violent.

"I understand. You go ahead. Min Wan, remember what I told you. It was Master Orikawa who had an affair with his disciple. He got angry and hurt me badly after I saw it. Don't make the mistake..."

"Yes." Min Wan lowered her eyes and bowed, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"What? Was it that Master Orikawa who hurt you?" A voice full of shock and anger came closer and closer. It was the Fairy Queen who came hurriedly.

"I was wondering why you were so injured after returning from Yingzhou. It's ok that Orikawa didn't know what was good for him, but he actually dared to hurt you. He's totally lawless!"

The Fairy Queen looked at her son with heartache. She glanced at Min Wan who was saluting and said arrogantly, "You must ask His Majesty to punish him. Isn't it because the Emperor Fairy is so arrogant? Will the Fairy World tolerate Zhechuan?"

"Yes." Min Wan did not argue with the Fairy Queen and bowed obediently, "Min Wan will take his leave."

The Fairy Queen knew that Min Wan was sent by the Fairy Emperor, so she didn't make it difficult for him. She just nodded perfunctorily and said, "Go."

When Min Wan returned to Fengchen Hall, the Immortal Emperor was frowning as he reviewed memorials, looking unhappy. There had been a lot of affairs in the Immortal Realm over the years, and he didn't have many subordinates that he could use easily, nor did he have an excellent successor to share the burden. Everything was on him, how could he not be tired

Just like what Fairy Nan Shu secretly complained, this old man is holding on to power tightly and has no intention of giving it up. He deserves to be exhausted to death!

Min Wan stood there quietly for two hours. The Immortal Emperor finally threw the last memorial aside, looked up at her, and said casually, "Have you been to Fengling? Tell me about it."

"Yes." Min Wan bowed respectfully, and then told the Immortal Emperor everything. Of course, what she said was not what Feng Ling told her to say, but her speculation based on the facts Feng Ling told him. Basically, Feng Ling hooked up with the disciple of Master Zhechuan, but was beaten up by Master Zhechuan.

The Immortal Emperor held his head with his hands and lazily sneered, "Heh... He is really a loser. He hooked up with a woman and went to Yingzhou. He was severely punished by her master. My son..."

Then Min Wan told the Immortal Emperor everything Feng Ling had told her to say.

The mockery on the Immortal Emperor's face became even stronger. "He is too young to use his father as a swordsman." After saying this, he remembered something and became a little more interested. "You just said that Zhechuan has a disciple, and it's a girl? What's her name?"

"Your Majesty, her name should be Mu Lin."

"It's a nice name. Min Wan, do you think they might have an affair?"

Min Wan thought for a moment and replied seriously, "I think that Master Zhechuan is a gentleman like an orchid, with a noble character. He has only accepted this one disciple in the past thousand years, so his character should also be good."

"I never doubted Orikawa's character, but he has a hard time understanding the word love..."

Xiche Palace

The Queen Fairy looked at her son's miserable appearance, and the pain in her eyes almost overflowed. "No, I must go to Yingzhou to seek justice for you! He beat my son into a state of chaos, it was simply outrageous!"

Feng Ling quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Mother, don't be impulsive! Although we are both real people, you are no match for Orikawa."

Feng Ling knew something about his mother's strength. The Immortal Queen's cultivation had stagnated at the middle level of True Person for ten thousand years. According to his calculations, True Person Zhechuan might have reached the state of Great Perfection and would surely break through within ten thousand years.

"Ridiculous! He hurts my son, am I supposed to just sit there and do nothing?"

"Mother, please be patient. I will get it back a thousand times over. You will cooperate with me then. Now I need to recover from my injuries. You must keep it a secret from my elder sister and Master Dongting. Don't let them take advantage of me..."

One day in heaven is one year in Yingzhou. Fifteen years passed in the blink of an eye. Mu Lin was addicted to planting trees and couldn't extricate himself. Yingzhou Island was already full of tall trees. The trees on the island grew ancient, strange, curved, varied, strange, and amazing, with a unique flavor.

After Mu Lin planted the last tree, she could suddenly feel the texture of the tree trunk! She blinked, knowing that this unusually long period of loss of sensation was finally over, but the sea breeze and the smell of the trees were fading away from her.

She lost her sense of smell again.

Mu Lin was in a calm mood, and then she sat under the tree to meditate, slowly mobilizing her immortal power to fill her dry immortal veins. After running a small cycle and a large cycle, it was already night and the stars were setting. Mu Lin was pleasantly surprised to find that she had broken through from the initial stage of Daluo Jinxian to the intermediate stage.

Even though she had not practiced for fifteen years, she was still slowly improving her cultivation. It can be said that she was blessed with extraordinary talent.

The master was reading in the study room. He looked up and saw Mu Lin looking at him with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but smile: "Breakthrough?"
