Chapter 127: Careful Calculation and Spring Heart
After hearing what was said, Shangqing Zhenren stood up and walked towards the door, but when he reached the door, he stopped.
"Since you have made up your mind to bear it, then it's up to you!"
All the elders were shocked when they heard this, thinking that Shangqing Zhenren was angry. Zhenren Fuyin was about to persuade him, but he saw that Shangqing Zhenren had turned half of his face away.
"But don't forget, you still have Yuan Qing behind you. Even if the sky falls, we old bones can hold it up for you."
A gust of wind blew from nowhere, blowing the curtain open. Lingxiang looked at the group of real people, and saw that they were all standing, with resolute expressions on their faces. She smiled, with light in her eyes, and at this time the wind stopped and the curtain fell.
……
"Tell me, is there any place in your Qiuyun Peak where we can hide things?" Lingxiang asked while lying on the bed, while Maidong was helping her to massage and apply medicine.
After two days of massage by Master Fuyin, the redness and swelling on her legs had subsided, but she still couldn't walk. However, living in Master Donghui's house was not a solution, so Lingxiang suggested moving into Qiuyun Peak to save Maidong the trouble of running back and forth.
Mai Dong was alerted when he heard this: "What bad water are you planning? But don't involve me. Last time, Master punished me to copy the Qingxin Sutra, and Senior Brother Guanchen helped me write a lot of it. I don't know if Master found out."
As he spoke, he accidentally increased the force on his hand, causing Lingxiang to grimace in pain.
She hissed and said, "I'm not asking you to do anything. I just want to know where I can hide something." Then she told him what she heard from the Chaos Bell when she was injured last time, as well as her own speculations.
"You mean, you and Linglong have a spiritual connection?" Mai Dong was extremely surprised when he heard this, and then he realized, "No wonder you wanted to come to Qiuyun Peak to recuperate. It turns out that you had planned this all along."
Lingxiang glanced at Maidong and said, "What do you mean by scheming? I just want to get my things back. Look at what you said. If someone doesn't know, they would think I'm planning something criminal."
Mai Dong curled his lips when he heard this, and thought to himself: Even if what you have done over the years cannot be called criminal, it is extremely bad.
But she herself did not expect that even for such a wicked Lingxiang, she, as an accomplice, was also responsible. Many times, she was the one who came up with many methods for Lingxiang.
"Last time you said that the 'Dragon Sword Technique' was found in your master's storage room. Then where is his storage room?" Lingxiang asked, grabbing Maidong's hand.
Maidong couldn't break free for a moment: "Don't talk to me about that damn sword technique anymore. It's because of your crappy sword technique that my master punished me to copy the Qingxin Jue. You actually want to encourage me to do things for you? I tell you, it's impossible." As he spoke, he exerted force and finally broke free from Lingxiang's clutches. As soon as he broke free, he immediately stood up and hid far away.
Lingxiang had just applied the medicine, so it was inconvenient for her to move. She just turned her eyes and sat up with her arms crossed.
"Hey~tsk tsk tsk!"
When Maidong heard her tone, he felt a chill down his spine. He hurriedly packed up his medicine bottles, wanting to get away from this plague god, but he stopped after hearing her next words.
"You have been under house arrest by Sixth Senior Brother for some time, right? Although this Qiuyun Peak is shrouded in clouds and mist like a fairyland, and the scenery is still unique, you will get tired of it after seeing it for too long. How can it compare to my Qingwei Peak, which is full of beautiful scenery and vitality? Besides, there is a young man in Qingwei Peak with delicate features and handsome appearance. If you see him every day, it would be really pleasing to the eyes. Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity that such a beauty can only be seen by me from now on. What a pity, what a pity~~"
Maidong paused for a long time, then sat back on the couch.
"Now your Qingwei Peak is bare of trees, how can it be full of vitality? You are just talking nonsense."
When Lingxiang saw her sit down, she knew she was persuaded.
"Tell me, where is the small treasury and how can we get in?" Mai Dong did not answer, but asked, "How are you going to get Master to release me from my confinement?"
Lingxiang smiled and said, "A few days ago, I took Xinyi and the others to Langhuan Pavilion to pick out a lot of magic techniques. But if I let them practice on their own, I think something might go wrong. And I'm having a lot of troubles right now. If someone could give me some pointers..."
Lingxiang didn't finish her words. Maidong listened and hesitated for a long time, as if he had made up his mind - Master, Master, don't blame your disciple for betraying you. If you want to blame someone, blame you for having a scheming junior sister.
So Maidong leaned close to Lingxiang's ear.
"So so, so so."
……
Long Qi and his two companions were sent back to Xianyunju that day. Now he was sitting in the yard listlessly. Although Rendong beside him looked normal on the surface, she was very depressed in her heart.
Xinyi, on the other hand, seemed to be unconcerned as she was practicing her sword skills alone in an open space.
It's not that he doesn't care about Lingxiang, but in his opinion, Lingxiang is not a reckless person. Whatever she does, she must have her own calculations. If she forms a contract with Xiaobai, she must have some plans for the future.
The three people were each doing their own things, but suddenly they heard footsteps outside the yard. The footsteps were so cheerful that they could even hear humming faintly.
It was a woman's voice. Could it be that Lingxiang had returned?
Long Qi hurriedly stood up, but just as he was about to take a step, he saw Ophiopogon japonicus at the gate of the courtyard.
"Why are you here? Where is Lingxiang?" Long Qi sat down again and asked unhappily.
This surprised Maidong. What happened to her?
"I say, you should at least call me Senior Sister, but why do you seem to be unwilling to see me?" Pulse said as he entered the yard, "Let me tell you, I, your Senior Sister, was entrusted by your Master to come here to guide you in your cultivation."
After hearing this, Honeysuckle asked, "How is her leg injury?"
Mai Dong felt comforted, it turned out that there were still disciples who cared about her, unlike this Long Qi, who was disrespectful all day long and had no rules at all.
"It's not a big deal, but if you want to be safe, you still need to stay in bed for a few days," Mai Dong said, looking at Xin Yi, his eyes seemed to be full of stars, "but, she really couldn't give up your practice, so she begged me to come and train you. As for me, it was hard to refuse her kindness. After all, she is my ninth aunt in terms of seniority, so I still have to give her face, so I came here reluctantly."
When Xinyi saw her like this, a smile immediately appeared on her face - Maidong is still the same as when he was a child.
Looking at Xinyi with a smile on her face, Maidong was stunned for a moment. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He thought that he was too aggressive. Although Lingxiang once said that he should be more proactive with a taciturn girl like Xinyi, he should never be like this now, like those nuns who have never seen a man and have no worldly experience at all.
But she was also suspicious. Xinyi had never smiled at her before, and she had never been able to hide from her. Why did she seem not to be afraid of her now?
Could it be that because of my relentless pursuit, he also started to have feelings for me?
But it’s good. Even so, I still have to be reserved, so as not to make him feel that I can’t wait any longer.
Although I do want to be with him...
Mai Dong was so lost in thought that he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He looked a little...
Somewhat stupid...
