Roleplay As Cultivator
19: Huang Qingyue's thoughts

Bright skies with few clouds make the air during the day not feel too hot. The sun is already slightly tilted towards the west.

Huang Qingyue woke up from her meditation and started to open her eyes. He opened and clenched his hands ensuring his body was at its maximum state.

‘umu, my strength has fully recovered’

Looking right and left, Huang Qingyue did not look at Tian Jie.

‘Where is Mr Tian ?’

He searched around their hideout but did not discover Tian Jie's whereabouts.

‘Did Mr Tian Jie leave me?’

He shook his head, then jumped on top of the tree for a longer viewing distance. Up at the top of the tree he observed around until he saw there was a small white acid from a distance of about a kilometer. Without a second thought he approached the source of the smoke.

Huang Qingyue walked up to the source of the smoke and found a river twenty meters wide and had a shallow depth. The river water was clear with rocks as the base.

He then walked down the river approaching the source of the smoke.

Until the source of the smoke, Huang Qingyue found a bonfire circled with fish pierced by branches. Beside it was a cloth neatly folded and placed on the stone. He approached the cloth to inspect it. Suddenly stopped because he heard something coming out of the water.

“huoh, this eel is really hard to catch”

Tian Jie walked out of the river while wiping the water off his face.

“hmm ?”

“Oh Qingyue, You have finished meditating ?”

He approached while waving his hand. It was time for him not to wear a top shirt and only to wear shorts. One hand held a large eel that was already motionless. He sat down by the fire and began to clean the eel.

“I guess you will finish meditating in the afternoon, therefore I went to find a meal first”

“This, take one cooked grilled fish !” he brought a fish near him.

“... Thank you very much”

Huang Qingyue received the fish but her eyes were still observing Tian Jie's body. This was the first time he had seen a male body.

Tian Jie had a burly and muscular body but was often invisible as he always wore loose clothing. There were many scars on his body, but there was a large scar on his left and on his back.

Huang Qingyue simply silently observed and did not eat her food.

“hmm .., Why are you just daydreaming QIngyue ? eat fast !”

“Qingyue , Qingyue .., QINGYUE !” Shouted Tian Jie as he flicked his fingers towards Huang Qingyue's face.

“Ah , sorry Mr. Tian” Huang Qingyue slightly embarrassed. This was only the first time he had seen a male body up close, and was curious. Moreover, Tian Jie's body that was filled with injuries definitely had a lot of stories as well.

“mmm, Sir have many wounds yes ?”

Tian Jie stopped eating hearing the question. He touched his chest wound as he swept back the memories of the real Tian Jie. He was betrayed by his own teacher at the academy and tortured in the punishment room. The memory was very clear to him, even he could feel the pain that Tian Jie had felt before. He clenched his hands and gritted his teeth.

Seeing the sudden Tian Jie was like holding back anger, making Huang Qingyue startled.

“A-ah .. , sorry Mr. Tian , if my question offends you”

Tian Jie who realized that he was scaring Huang Qingyue immediately pulled and exhaled her breath to calm down. He waved his hand as a sign to appease Huang Qingyue.

“It's okay what Qingyue, this wound is a little reminiscent of a less pleasant thing for me”

Huang Qingyue was silent a thousand languages.

He was actually very curious about the man in front of him. Arrived at the most crucial moment to help him. Help him fight more and more powerful enemies than himself. Huang Qingyue was actually very suspicious of Tian Jie's movements.

He had often been approached by men from the sect in the way they pretended to save himself from the ambush of the enemy. Therefore he was already experienced with such conditions. But the man in front of him was different.

Huang Qingyue was sure Tian Jie had a certain purpose in approaching her, but she also knew that Tian Jie was still keeping a distance from her. Tian Jie approached her but also did not trust her.

If not for still having to find her sister, she would have already asked Tian Jie's request to her. If indeed Tian Jie had asked him to become a cultivation partner, he would not have refused. But he felt Tian Jie had not even thought about his request and was focused on helping him.

And it made him feel even more indebted to Tian Jie.

Because the atmosphere became awkward, both of them only remained silent during eating their food.

Tian Jie used his right hand to eat his grilled fish and his left hand to continue cooking.

Huang Qingyue ate her food slowly while occasionally glancing at Tian Jie.

Time kept rolling for the two of them until the sky started to turn orange.

…

Tian Jie : “Qingyue, do you have any clue to look for your sister ?”

Huang Qingyue : “umu, each sect member has a special emblem that can be used to find out if there are friends near us”

“but the maximum distance is five kilometers”

Tian Jie : “hmm, means he's quite far from our location”

“do you guys make an agreement to meet back ?”

Huang Qingyu shook his head : “um, back then we parted ways due to being surrounded by the prince's army”

“If I don't remember wrongly, he was chased by three human lizards”

Hearing Huang Qingyue's explanation, Tian Jie was silent for a moment to think.

“Maybe we can get a hint or trace of your sister where you part”

“Do you want us to move now ?”

Huang Qingyue : “ I will follow the direction of Mr. Tian”

Tian Jie nodded: “ Alright we move now !”

“Show me the way you parted ways Qingyue”

Huang Qingyue : “Follow me Mr Tian !”

Tian Jie moved following Huang Qingyue from behind. The location where Huang Qingyue had parted was quite far away, if using their usual speed it would take a long time. Tian Jie approached Huang Qingyue's side and extended his hand.

“Qingyue give me your hand !”

“e-eh ..”

Huang Qingyue's face slightly reddened. He was a little embarrassed but slowly echoed Tian Jie's hand. He was confused by what Tian Jie wanted to do.

“Yosh, grip tightly my hand and try to stay in front of”

“Warp step (Cantrip 0)”

Huang Qingyue was startled, her body suddenly felt light and her movements were faster.she almost tripped to fall because she was not used to the condition of the body.

“kyaah !?”

“Qingyue !” Tian Jie held tightly onto Huang Qingyue's hand and helped her balance the body.

“kikiki, heart - heart stepped Qingyue” while showing a big smile to tease Huang QIngyue.

“uuum .., Humf”

Huang Qingyue pouted away her face. He familiarized himself with the speed now and began to lead Tian Jie.

Two silhouettes that were seen joining hands shot rapidly through the forest as the sun began to sink.
