Chapter 292 Sad and sad
Ever since Chu Mochen angrily left that day, Yun Yao's world seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar in an instant. She stood alone in the room, looking at the fragments of the rare magic weapon on the ground, tears rolling down uncontrollably, her heart full of grievance and confusion. She couldn't understand why Chu Mochen, who had been close to her and had experienced the ups and downs together, would question her and abandon her so resolutely just because of the broken object in front of him.
After a long time, Yun Yao slowly squatted down and picked up the fragments with trembling hands. Each piece was like a sharp blade, cutting her heart. "What is going on? Why didn't he even give me a chance to explain..." She choked and muttered to herself. After calming down a little, Yun Yao carefully put the fragments away and put them in a box at the bedside, as if she still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that one day she could restore this magic weapon and also hope to use it to repair her broken friendship with Chu Mochen.
From then on, Chu Mochen was like a different person, hiding from Yun Yao everywhere in the sect. He would take a detour to the path they used to walk side by side; he never stepped into the secret room where they used to discuss the exercises together; even when eating in the cafeteria, as long as Yun Yao appeared, he would finish his meal in a hurry and leave, not wanting to look at her for more than a second. Every time Yun Yao saw his back from afar, her heart would ache. The laughter and gentle companionship they had once shared had now turned into bitter memories, gnawing at her heart repeatedly.
Others in the sect also gradually noticed the difference between the two, and rumors spread everywhere. Some disciples who didn't know the truth pointed fingers behind their backs, whispering: "Have you heard? Senior Sister Yunyao broke the magic weapon that Senior Brother Chu had worked so hard to find, and Senior Brother Chu was so angry that he ignored her." "That's right, they used to be so close, but I didn't expect Senior Sister Yunyao to be such a person." These words were like cold wind, passing through every corner of the sect and blowing straight into Yunyao's ears. Every time she heard a word, her steps became heavier, as if she was carrying a heavy burden on her back.
At first, Yun Yao tried to find friendly eyes in the crowd or to defend herself, but she soon found that in the face of the surging rumors, all explanations seemed so powerless. Those questioning and misunderstanding eyes were like dense needles, piercing her body. In desperation, she could only choose to lower her head and hurriedly walk away, burying all the grievances and pain deep in her heart.
Back in her room, Yun Yao seemed to have found her only safe haven. She closed the door, leaned against it and slowly slid down to the floor, tears bursting out again. The room was terribly quiet, with only her suppressed sobs echoing, each of which was filled with endless sorrow. Tired of crying, she dragged her exhausted body to her feet, walked to the desk by the window, and poured out her bitterness to the system on the desk.
"System Lord, why did it become like this? Why doesn't he believe me?" Yun Yao asked hoarsely with red and swollen eyes. The light of the System Lord flashed a few times, as if conveying a sense of comfort, and then a soft voice sounded in Yun Yao's mind: "Host, don't be too sad. Emotional matters are complicated. Now you are being plotted against, which has caused Master Chu to misunderstand you. But you must understand that you can't let this temporary setback disrupt your state of mind for cultivation, otherwise it will play into the enemy's hands."
Yun Yao listened to the advice of the system. Although she knew it was reasonable, the piercing pain was hard to dissipate immediately. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her eyes fell on the courtyard outside the window, where the flowers and plants were still swaying in the wind, full of vitality, forming a sharp contrast with her gloomy mood at the moment. "I understand, but it's not easy to let go... I have gone through so many hardships and obstacles with him, and every time I thought that no matter what I encountered, he would stand by me, trust me and support me. But now..." At this point, Yun Yao's eyes became red again, and her voice choked again.
The system was silent for a moment, then continued: "Host, you are a tenacious person. You have never been defeated by so many difficulties in the past. Although you are extremely heartbroken at this moment, as long as you get through this, your state of mind will be greatly improved. Besides, you still have unfinished missions and a long road of cultivation to go. Don't waste your future because of love."
Yun Yao took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She knew that what the system said was right. Since she traveled through time, she had relied on the help of the system and her own efforts to overcome all obstacles and grow from an unpopular princess to a disciple with a place in the current cultivation sect. During this period, she had suffered countless hardships. If she was unable to recover because of this emotional ups and downs, it would not only be a shame for her previous efforts, but it might also endanger her life.
Thinking of this, Yun Yao clenched her fists, with a gleam of determination in her eyes: "Okay, I can't just stay depressed like this. I want to let him know that I, Yun Yao, am definitely not what he thinks. I will prove myself with my strength, and I will also find out the conspiracy behind this and clear my name."
After making up her mind, Yun Yao stood up, walked to the bed and sat down, closing her eyes and concentrating, trying to forget those disturbing thoughts and enter the state of cultivation. At first, the pain and grievances in her heart kept surging, making it difficult for her to concentrate, but she gritted her teeth and dispelled the distracting thoughts again and again. Gradually, she immersed herself in the world of cultivation, feeling the slow flow of the spiritual energy of the world around her.
With the special skills rewarded by the system, Yun Yao guided the spiritual energy to flow into her body, flowing and gathering along specific meridian routes. Every time she absorbed a little spiritual energy, she could feel her own strength increasing slightly. The sense of fulfillment and control made her temporarily forget the troubles of the outside world. As she practiced more, a layer of faint light appeared around her body, and the spiritual energy in the room seemed to be attracted and became more and more dense, forming small whirlpools that swirled around her.
Time passed quietly during the practice, and before she knew it, it was already late. Yun Yao slowly finished her practice and opened her eyes, with a gleam of brilliance in them. After this practice, although the pain in her heart had not yet completely healed, her strength had indeed improved a lot. She could clearly feel that the spiritual power in her body was more powerful and condensed, and she was more adept at controlling the spells she had learned before.
Standing up and stretching her stiff body, Yun Yao walked to the bronze mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, who looked a little haggard but had a firm look in her eyes, and said softly: "Yun Yao, from today on, you have to live for yourself and work hard for the truth and the future. If he can see the truth and change his mind, it would be the best; if not, you have enough strength to move forward alone."
However, just as she was about to turn around and wash up, her eyes accidentally swept over a jade pendant placed next to the bronze mirror. It was an ancient jade that Chu Mochen found by chance during a training. Seeing that she liked it, he gave it to her. At that time, the two smiled at each other, their eyes full of sweetness and warmth. Today, the jade pendant is still as warm as before, but that beautiful time seems to have gone away. Yun Yao slowly reached out and gently picked up the jade pendant, her fingers stroking the lines on it, and every bit of her past with Chu Mochen surged into her heart like a tide.
In an instant, the defense she had just built up loosened a little, and tears blurred her eyes again. "Chu Mochen, when will you understand my heart..." She whispered softly, her voice full of endless longing and sorrow. The jade pendant in her hand seemed to carry all their memories, making her reluctant to let it go, but she didn't dare to hold it tightly, for fear that if she was not careful, she would crush this last thought.
After a long time, Yun Yao slowly put down the jade pendant, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress her emotions again. She knew that the ups and downs of emotions tonight were just the beginning of a long road to recovery. In the days to come, she would not only face the hardships of cultivation, the crisis of the sect, but also try to untie the knot between her and Chu Mochen. But no matter what, she would not bow her head easily again, and would not be overwhelmed by these painful emotions again.
After washing up, Yun Yao lay down on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. The moonlight outside the window was like water, sprinkled in front of the bed, outlining a cold light and shadow. She looked at the moonlight, her thoughts drifted away, and she prayed silently in her heart that this sudden storm would pass soon, and she and Chu Mochen could return to the past, or each find a new direction and no longer be entangled by this pain...
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Yao finally fell asleep in exhaustion and sadness. In her dream, she returned to the days when she fought side by side with Chu Mochen. They faced powerful enemies together, supported each other, and smiled brightly. But when she reached out to grab that beautiful moment, everything disappeared like smoke, leaving her alone in the darkness, with tears still hanging in the corners of her eyes. A new day is coming, and she must continue to move forward with this heart full of pain...
