Defeating the Inner Demons

Lu Qingyun had a despondent heart after his talk with the Three-Destinies Old Man. After his return to his abode, he said to Lie Xingyuan. "I'm going to spend a few days meditating. I still find my strength to be sorely lacking."

Lie Xingyuan was surprised by his decision but she did not stop him.

She merely looked at him with a flustered smile, "Actually senior brother, I've changed the blanket and the bedding for you. I don't mind changing it every day for you."

Lu Qingyun: …

"Xingyuan, it is not what you think it is…"

"You don't have to explain. I totally understand." Lie Xingyuan shyly giggled.

Lu Qingyun was flustered. He could not tell her about the Three-Destinies Old Man because it would mean revealing the heavens' secrets.

"Actually…I…" he was stammering because he did not know how to explain it to her.

"It is good to burn away your internal fires in the practice chamber." She shyly said before she walked hastily away.
