C66 (1/2)
He crossed the road and entered the hospital. His senior brother's ward was on the third floor and went up to the third floor. He pushed open the door and found his master lying down on his senior brother's bed.
When Senior Sister saw Master, it was very clear that her mood fluctuated greatly, even to the point that her face began to tremble slightly. She took a deep breath and said to me, ”Junior Brother, I'll wait in the corridor. Let Master sleep for a while longer.”
I saw that my Master was very tired, so I nodded and sat on the chair in the corridor with Senior Sister. Senior Sister seemed to be in a panic as she kept breathing in and out.
We sat in silence, her head bowed, her face hidden by her hair, her expression unreadable, and a moment later there was a sound in the room, as if Master had awoken.
When I entered, my Master looked at me and said tiredly, ”He's here.” My voice was hoarse. I whispered into his ear, ”Senior sister has come. She's in the corridor.”
After I said this, Master's expression instantly became complicated. He stared at me and said, ”You're talking about Xizhen?” I nodded, and my master walked out of the ward, her head still bowed, not saying a word.
His Master looked at her for a long time before saying, ”You're back.” He didn't know if it was a question or a sigh, but when she heard this, her body trembled. She stood up and faced her master, her expression agitated but soon calmed down. She said lightly to her master, ”Yes, I'm back.”
My Master walked over and touched Senior Sister's head. She wanted to say something, but she hesitated. It's not convenient to stand here and talk, so I quickly let the two of them enter the room to talk.
After entering the room, Master seemed very nervous, and didn't know where to put his hands and feet. I brought a stool for Senior Sister, and Master sat on the folding bed while I sat on the side of Senior Brother's bed.
After not seeing her for a long time, Master seemed to be a little unfamiliar with this beloved disciple of hers. He didn't know what to say, but on the contrary, Senior Sister seemed very calm.
After she was found by her biological parents, she followed her biological parents back to her hometown. At the beginning, she really missed her master and senior brother, and thought that her master would use the phone number that he left behind to find her. But she never thought that this separation would be like ten years ago.
Senior sister's biological parents were very good to senior sister, and she slowly adapted to and accepted her own biological parents, learning and living a normal life just like ordinary girls. At the same time, she did not forget the cultivation technique that her master had taught her, and she diligently trained every day.
More than once, she had dreamed that her Master and Senior Brother were lying in a pool of blood. As her martial arts improved, her Senior Sister's heart had become more and more calm, and she knew that there must be a reason behind the sudden panic and dream.
After a few days, Senior Sister knew that something must have happened to her Master or Senior Brother, so she decided to come back to find Master. Following her memories, Senior Sister returned to this small town, and after many inquiries, she finally found Master's current location.
As Senior Sister said this, I could see that she wasn't doing very well in these past few years. Perhaps she was used to being independent, but she gave me a mature and steady feeling that was inconsistent with her age.
His Master sighed and said, ”Come back then, it's all fate.” The Senior Sister was silent for a moment, tears suddenly gushing out of her eyes. She said to her Master in a questioning and resentful tone, ”Why haven't you heard from me all these years? Why haven't you even called me? Do you not want to see me?”
I didn't think that Senior Sister would care so much about me not contacting Master. Perhaps it's because I don't understand the feelings between them, but after Master heard Senior Sister's question, she smiled bitterly and said, ”Xizhen, there are some things that you wouldn't believe even if you told me, I just hope that you can live a peaceful life. I have always treated you as my real daughter.”
When her senior sister heard this, she couldn't stop her tears from rolling down. She threw herself into her master's arms, as if a long-lost daughter had finally found her father. Her master gently caressed her head and said, ”Cry, just cry out.”
After a while, Senior Sister stopped crying and asked Master what happened to Senior Brother. Master told me to tell Senior Brother that when Senior Brother and I went out at night and met the little Azure Dragon, I told Senior Sister about it.
The Senior Martial Sister looked at her Senior Martial Brother and said, ”Master, are you sure this was done by the person you were talking about?” His Master said, ”I was only guessing, but after thinking about it, Ju Ming has never had an enemy. Haozi is still a child. Besides Pei Hong Du, I really don't know who the enemy is.”
How could I let Senior Sister take care of him? I told Master about my parents going to the south, and Master told me and Senior Sister to stay in the store, so we could help each other out.
Thus, Senior Sister and I went back to the store at night. I told Senior Sister to stay upstairs while I opened up one of Senior Brother's folding beds. However, Senior Sister disagreed and took the bed downstairs to lie down while I stayed on the second floor.
