Chapter 9: Fallen Ill

  Thank you book friends "Ling Xū Shàng Rén", "Cāng Lǎo Le Shuí" and "Xū Wú" for your evaluation votes. As a newcomer, I am already lucky to have achieved what I have now, and being able to receive evaluation votes from book friends is even more encouraging and recognition for me, thank you!

  Linghu Chong stood on the cliff, looking at the two people below, and suddenly sighed, his soul lost and listless as he walked into the cave.

  Ling Jing touched Yue Lingxuan's forehead and said in a low voice, "The snow is so heavy, only you would be silly enough to run up here. Master has many things to attend to in the sect, how could he have so much free time to come supervise me?"

  Yue Lingshan said: "I just remembered you haven't eaten yet, and... I want to see you."

  She opened her big eyes and stared at Ling Jing without blinking, a hint of shyness flashing across her face.

  Ling Jing's heart flashed with a thread of tenderness, and he suddenly lowered his head, kissing her delicate red lips.

  Yue Lingshan slowly softened in Ling Jing's arms, letting out a low moan, and involuntarily wrapped her arms around his neck, her slender waist being gradually pressed into an enticing curve by Ling Jing.

  Ling Jing buried his head, savoring the warmth of Yue Lingxuan's small mouth. A strange feeling arose in his heart, and he thought that this was the first time he had been intimate with a woman in this life or the last. Moreover, this woman was deeply in love with him, and she was stunningly beautiful. As he held Yue Lingxuan's slender body, feeling her warmth, he felt a sense of satisfaction and contentment.

  The two kissed for a long time, and suddenly Yu Ling Shuang let out a faint hum in her nose. Her hands weakly pushed against Ling Jing's chest, and she panted with charming eyes: "You... you're bullying me."

  Ling Jing looked at Yue Lingxuan's delicate face, which was about to drip with tears, and smiled: "Hmph, I still want to bully you for a while."

  Yue Lingshan's face flashed a hint of shyness, and she hastily covered his mouth, saying "Don't."

  Ling Jing suddenly stuck out his tongue and lightly licked her hand, which was as smooth as jade. Yue Lingshan's palm felt a tingling sensation, and she couldn't help but let out a "heh heh" laugh. Suddenly, like a startled deer, she withdrew her hand and scolded: "You, you can't be naughty again."

  Ling Jing looked at her timid pretty face and smiled, "Alright, let's go in first, if we stand here any longer, I'm afraid you'll get sick."

  He had just realized that Yue Lingxuan's hands were extremely cold, and thinking of her trekking through the snow and falling, he was also worried that her body would not be able to withstand it, so he immediately pulled her into the cave.

  That night, due to the heavy snow outside and the slippery mountain road, Ling Jing insisted on not letting Yue Lingshan go down the mountain alone.

  Two people in the cave found a corner, avoiding Linghu Chong, and rested together for a night, until the second day at dawn, he sent down the mountain with a bright red face, Yue Lingshan, and repeatedly reminded her that these days must not come up the mountain again to send food with their own two people, let Shifu Shiniang dispatch other fellow apprentices.

  Yue Lingshan was naturally extremely unwilling in her heart. The two had experienced the intimacy of last night, and their feelings seemed to have deepened further, just like glue and lacquer. But now, they suddenly couldn't see each other for many days, and she was naturally very displeased in her heart.

  ......

  On the second day, the heavy snow still didn't stop. Ling Jing was worried that Yue Lingshan wouldn't listen to his advice and would secretly go up the mountain again, so he stood at the edge of the cliff waiting.

  However, this time the person who came was Fourth Brother Gao Genming. He finally let out a sigh of relief and welcomed Gao Genming over.

  He took over Gao Genming's lunchbox and led him into the cave, laughing: "Fourth Master, you've had a hard time."

  Gao Genming forced a smile and said, "Do we still need to be so polite to each other as fellow disciples?"

  Ling Jing saw that his complexion was different and felt a bit strange in her heart. She wanted to ask something again, but saw Gao Jianming suddenly walking towards Linghu Chong.

  He suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and vaguely sensed that something was wrong. He immediately chased after them, standing between Gao Ying and Linghu Chong, and asked Gao Ying in a low voice: "Fourth Brother, what happened at the foot of the mountain?"

  Linghu Chong's face also changed color, and he stepped forward hastily, saying: "Fourth brother, is what little brother said true?"

  Takane Akira suddenly let out a bitter laugh, as if there was something he couldn't bring himself to say.

  The two of them felt even more that something was amiss at the foot of the mountain and thought that some trouble had arisen within their group, so they repeatedly asked questions.

  Gao Genming was forced by the two of them to the point where he couldn't bear it, and only then did he let out a sigh and say: "Big Brother Shifu, Little Brother Shidi, you both just calm down for now. Nothing major has happened at the foot of the mountain, it's just..."

  Ling Jing and Linghu Chong slightly breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Gao Jianming continue: "But little Shifu suddenly fell seriously ill and is now bedridden." He sighed and helplessly said, "Alas, originally Little Shifu had instructed me not to tell you all, but I...".

  Ling Jing was taken aback for a moment, then hastily asked: "How could this be? How is Shifu Jie now?"

  Almost at the same time, Linghu Cong also said: "Is Little Martial Sister's body unwell?"

  After finishing, the two suddenly looked at each other, Linghu Cong felt a bit awkward, and Hu slightly tilted his head to one side. Ling Jing snorted coldly in her heart, but at this time, she was worried about Yue Lingshan's illness, so she didn't make any further calculations, just waiting for Gao Genming's answer.

  "Junior sister was afflicted with wind chill yesterday and seems to have fallen, which is why she suddenly fell ill. However, you don't need to worry too much, Master has already used internal energy to dispel the cold for junior sister today, and she should recover in no time."

  Although it was said that Ling Xiu only caught a cold, but in Ling Jing's heart, there were still some worries. These martial artists, if they just had an ordinary cold, how could they be bedridden?

  He took a deep breath and had already made up his mind, so he turned around and walked out of the cave.

  Linghu Chong and Gao Ying saw that he was about to leave suddenly, and they quickly grabbed his two arms, anxiously saying: "Young Master, what are you going to do?"

  Ling Jing furrowed his brow and said: "I want to go down the mountain."

  Linghu Chong and Gao Ying looked at each other, then suddenly gazed away with a bitter smile. Linghu Chong spoke up to advise: "Younger brother, I know you're worried about Younger sister's illness, but right now we are facing the wall on Reflection Cliff, if we take one step out of this cliff, it would be going against our master's orders."

  He was also worried to death in his heart, but unfortunately he was the eldest disciple of Huashan Sect and had to set an example, so he could only suppress his worries at this moment and hope to stop Ling Jing from making a mistake.

  "Ah, yes, little brother, you mustn't be impulsive. Little sister just caught a slight cold, that's all. Before I came up the mountain, she repeatedly warned me not to tell you about this, but now... He sighed, "Besides, although little sister is more seriously ill than usual this time, with Master and Mistress taking care of her, you don't have to worry anymore."

  Ling Jing didn't wait for the two to continue persuading him, and suddenly shook his hands, sending internal energy to his arms, and with just one move, he shook off the two people's hands that were clamped on his arm.

  Now his internal strength has already entered the realm of third-class, this shock caused Linghu Chong and Gao Jianming to naturally lose control and retreat one step back.

  Ling Jing took the opportunity to jump forward several times, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the entrance of the cave. At this time, he suddenly turned his head and said: "Big Brother Shifu, Fourth Brother Shifu, I'm sorry. But this time, even if it means being punished by Master Shifu, I must go down the mountain for a trip."

  Before his words had fallen, he had already unfolded his body method and leaped out of the cave.
