Chapter 56 Master Withdraws One Restriction
Mei Shiyu did not want to talk much about the karmic entanglement from her past life.
Li Tingyun didn't ask any more questions. She tilted her head and looked at him, reaching out as usual to grab his sleeve.
But they were blocked by an invisible barrier.
The Binding Immortal Lock on her wrist shimmered with a faint, fluorescent blue light.
The Immortal Binding Lock can both bind him to your presence and prevent him from getting close.
Li Tingyun frowned, and a shadow fell over his eyes.
“Yuanbao, from now on, we should maintain a proper distance between us as master and disciple.”
Mei Shiyu said softly, "I don't know if what you said before was just a momentary impulse or your true feelings, but in any case, since you dared to say those rebellious words, you must know what the consequences will be."
But... well, what could he possibly argue with a dog?
Li Tingyun had no choice but to admit defeat. It was indeed his impatience and recklessness that led to the current situation.
But he didn't regret it. First, he had such a rebellious thought in his heart, and he would feel better if he said it sooner or later. Second, he wanted to provoke Mei Shiyu, disturb his mind and make him unable to distinguish the truth from falsehood in his words.
Unfortunately, his untimely and one-sided confession only pushed people further away.
Li Tingyun asked, "So, the consequence is that, Master... you don't want me anymore?"
Mei Shiyu countered with, "Do you still want to follow me?"
"think."
Li Tingyun lowered her eyes, "How could I not want to?"
Mei Shiyu made her point to him, saying, "Okay, then you have to promise me one thing."
Li Tingyun: "What is it?"
Mei Shiyu: "Sever the roots of affection."
Li Tingyun: "Does this mean I should also cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness?"
Mei Shiyu nodded slightly. "Also, in front of me, you must at least learn to restrain your words and actions. If you continue to act this way, dissolute and unruly, and refuse to change your ways despite repeated attempts to correct you, I will definitely not keep you here, understand?"
Li Tingyun clenched his fists, a lump forming in his throat, "I... understand."
"Where is the golden coffin?"
Mei Shiyu suddenly asked.
"Here I am."
Li Tingyun took out the golden coffin from her sleeve, intending to hand it to him, but due to the Immortal Binding Lock, she could not deliver it to him.
Emotions welled up and surged in his chest, but in the end he could only give up, rubbing his knuckles together as he gripped the object, making a slight sound.
At the same time, the system's voice sounded in my mind:
[Host, the system has issued a main quest: you must find the protagonist's original body as soon as possible and help his soul return to its rightful place.]
[You anticipated this mission, so you've done everything in your power to protect the protagonist, keeping the golden coffin with you at all times, and therefore the system hasn't issued any notifications.]
[But now you have to hand over the golden coffin. 001 warns you that doing so could very well deviate from the main questline. Are you sure you want to do this?]
Mei Shiyu did not reach out to take it, but simply used a wisp of spiritual power to wrap around the golden coffin and pull it away.
But they found they couldn't pull it out.
Li Tingyun raised his eyes, "Master, you're about to reunite with your own disciple, so whether I'm there or not doesn't matter anymore, right?"
Mei Shiyu asked, "You just let what I said go in one ear and out the other, have you already forgotten it?"
His words weren't harsh, but his tone was somewhat cold and hard, unlike his usual gentle and light manner.
"Ah, yes, I should restrain myself, I should restrain myself a bit."
Li Tingyun swallowed a mouthful of anger, released his grip, and handed the golden coffin to him.
[Host, from now on, every hour that passes, your merit points will be deducted by 100 points. Reason for deduction: Deviating from the main quest.]
[Sigh, host, you're already in debt. If your merit points are deducted any further, who knows what might happen.]
Li Tingyun's face was ashen: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Deviating from the main quest will also deduct merit points."
【Oh, didn't I warn you? I definitely said so. I'm not taking the blame for this.】
I think Mei Shiyu is absolutely right; you just let it go in one ear and out the other, you never listen to advice!
"Bullshit. If you've ever said that, then you're a fool!"
[Hey, don't believe me? The system has built-in screen recording, please watch the video!!!]
One minute later.
[Sorry, Ori~ My private Marseille~ I forgot to mention it, waaaaah, I'm so sorry, sob sob...]
Ugh, I've been so forgetful lately, do I have... Alpine syndrome?
"If I had to say it, it's called 'Alzheimer's disease,' you're such a middle-aged idiot."
Li Tingyun smiled enigmatically, "Speaking of which, haven't you dug enough pits for me? I'm already used to it."
Wang Laoliu saw that the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and he was smiling softly, which was very sinister.
[Host, are you going to mess with me? At a time like this, you can still laugh?]
Not only did he get a lecture from Mei Shiyu, but he also accidentally stepped into a big pit, increasing the difficulty of the mission and causing his merit points to continue to decrease. Everything was in a mess, and at this point, he had nowhere to cry.
But he actually laughed, and his laugh was so chilling.
"I'm just like this by nature, I can laugh anytime! What's it to you?"
Li Tingyun wasn't laughing at anything else; he was laughing at Mei Shiyu's sharp tongue but soft heart.
He's never been good at making harsh remarks; his sarcastic comments are all an act.
Even though she was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped him, she never removed the barrier surrounding the two of them, still protecting him from the wind and rain.
Until the rain gradually stopped outside.
The salty, damp air after the rain, when inhaled, lacks any refreshing quality; instead, it is filled with a dull, cold, and gloomy atmosphere.
Li Tingyun looked up and found that the sky was getting darker and darker.
In the mortal world, the weather—whether it's sunny or cloudy, bright or dark—is insignificant.
But right now they are in the underworld, a place without the sun and moon. Whether it is day or night, the sky should be unchanging, similar to the scene of seven parts darkness and three parts light as dusk approaches.
It wasn't that Li Tingyun was acutely aware of the darkening of the sky, but rather that after being in a fixed-light environment for a long time, even the slightest change would seem quite abrupt.
Even Wang Wu, who was meditating under the eaves, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up while leaning against the wall, and groped around aimlessly.
He let out a startled shout: "Holy crap, what's going on? I only dozed off for a little while, and I'm blind?!"
In the time it takes to say just one sentence, it has become completely dark, so dark that you can't see your hand in front of your face.
As night fell, they seemed to be immersed in a pool of ink-black water.
Wang Wu belatedly realized, "It's... getting dark?"
"It's not that it's dark, it's that someone is causing trouble."
Mei Shiyu protected the boy discreetly, as always.
He said, "Yuanbao, come to my side."
The restriction originally set up with the Immortal Binding Lock was personally removed by him in less than a quarter of an hour.
The slap in the face came so quickly.
"Oh~"
Li Tingyun agreed, his response a long and winding one, and then, in the dark, he grabbed Mei Shiyu's sleeve, secretly delighted.
Mei Shiyu not only didn't shake him off, but even grabbed him and pulled him close.
The area was fraught with danger, and before understanding the situation, Mei Shiyu feared that if he wasn't careful, his apprentice might be lost.
[Host, this is a hostile visitor, there's danger... Damn it, what the hell are you laughing at?]
"..."
Li Tingyun composed himself. "Stop talking nonsense, who is it?"
[The Night Wanderer.]
