Chapter 24: The Heart
Honglian only felt her body being gently picked up, and the sharp pain suddenly hit her whole body, and she bit her lip tightly, trembling slightly. From the man's steady steps, Red Lotus could feel that the other party had tried his best to make herself comfortable. She tried hard to open her eyes to see, and it took a long time to open only a small gap, through the gap, Honglian vaguely saw the strange and familiar face, she subconsciously wanted to struggle away, but the pain swept through her body again and made Honglian unbearable, she just struggled for a while and fainted. Bai Shucheng frowned slightly, glanced down at her, raised his head again, and walked steadily in the direction of Sword Qi Peak.
When he arrived at the Sword Qi Peak, Bai Shucheng ordered someone to notify the sect master, and it didn't take long for the sect master to come in a hurry, and when he saw the red lotus lying in Bai Shucheng's arms and dying, he was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to check on the situation of the red lotus. Red Lotus's clothes had been blown to tatters, and her body was also a blur of flesh and blood.
"Something like this is happening!Quick, take her to the room over there!" said the Sect Master anxiously, pointing to the nearest house.
Bai Shucheng walked over quickly with Honglian in his arms, and came to the room, Honglian was gently placed on the bed, she had fainted several times along the way, and now she was finally a little sober, and she felt that someone had pinched the wrist of her left hand, and her heart was slightly relaxed, this way of saving people, she had experienced it in her previous life, it seemed that she would not have any major problems, Honglian thought of this and let herself sleep with peace of mind. A warm current was slowly transmitted to her body along the red lotus's veins, and the sect master used his spiritual power to restore the broken bones, tendons, veins and muscles in the red lotus's body. He frowned while treating Honglian, Honglian's injury was too serious, even if he used his aura to help her recover as much as possible, I am afraid it would be difficult to heal in half a year.
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the door, and his anxious face almost burst into flames.
"Red Lotus she...... How is she?" Quan Mingyu asked nervously as she looked at the scene inside the room without blinking.
When he was offstage, he saw Bai Shucheng suddenly appear and took away the red lotus, so he hurriedly followed, although he knew that Bai Shucheng must be to treat the red lotus, but he must see with his own eyes that the red lotus is okay before he can rest assured.
"There is no danger to her life, the Sect Master is helping her recover from her injuries. Bai Shucheng, who was standing behind the sect master, opened his mouth and replied.
When Quan Mingyu heard him say this, his high-minded heart finally let go slightly, as long as there was no danger to his life.
His eyes fell on the sleeping face of the red lotus, which had lost its usual brilliance at the moment, and was replaced by a pale and weak face.
The injuries on Honglian's body will recover one day, but her closed eyes make Quan Mingyu feel extremely self-blaming, he hates himself, if it weren't for him, Honglian wouldn't have been targeted by Lan Ruoxue, if he could be stronger, he wouldn't have watched her get injured but couldn't get closer, if he could break through as soon as possible and improve his cultivation to the foundation building period, he might be able to protect her...... Quan Mingyu clasped his hands tightly, he stood motionless, just quietly looking at the red lotus lying unconscious on the bed......
A breeze blew, and the last yellow leaves on the dead branch at the door fell. The newly repaired gate was covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost, and the red lotus tightened the snow-white fluff at the collar, and the snowfox fluff used for decoration lined her skin even fairer.
It's been a month, and Red Lotus's body has also recovered close to three layers.
This time, she naturally couldn't continue, and she finished the sentence with arrogance, "It's not that you underestimate me, but that you overestimate yourself." After that, she was gloriously defeated, Honglian smiled bitterly, she didn't expect that she was so disgraced when she thought about it.
At this time, there was a knock at the door, Honglian shook her head helplessly, she had already guessed who it was, these days, Quan Mingyu always ran to her, not only sent a lot of pills to replenish the body, but also told Honglian a lot of various things that happened in the sect, after hearing that Quan Mingyu won the first place in this outer door competition, Honglian was really happy for him, looking at this little boy who cared about herself, she couldn't bear to refuse, and couldn't help but treat Quan Mingyu as a younger brother, but she forgot that the other party is now two years older than Honglian's current age。
Red Lotus gently opened the door, and Quan Mingyu's familiar face appeared in her sight. The other party was full of spring breeze and a smile.
"Senior Sister Red Lotus, I'm here to announce good news!" Quan Mingyu said happily.
Honglian is a little strange, this Quan Mingyu announced the news as soon as he came, and it was all a bunch of useless news. Red Lotus cooperated and asked:
"What's the good news?"
Quan Mingyu looked proud, and he didn't speak, just raised his chin and looked at her, his eyes seemed to be waiting for praise.
Usually he wouldn't be like this, Honglian couldn't help but look at the person in front of her carefully, and the next second her eyes widened.
"You've broken through!" Red Lotus asked in surprise.
Quan Mingyu smiled, looked proud, and said:
"It's the fifth layer of the Qi cultivation period, how is it?"
Red Lotus was shocked by his cultivation speed, and it had only been a long time since he had broken through again. Now that his cultivation has stagnated, he doesn't know if he can reach the fifth level of the qi cultivation period when he is ten years old, it makes me worry when I think about it, this Quan Mingyu actually came to show himself that he broke through at this time, and he really doesn't look at people's faces.
"What's the matter, naturally congratulations, I thought it was good news, it was your own good news. Red Lotus pouted and said.
Quan Mingyu looked at Honglian's face and smiled, he really liked this kind of life now, although Honglian was still lukewarm to him, but it was also much better than at the beginning, and there were many expressions on his face, such as happiness, such as annoyance. Quan Mingyu likes this Wei Honglian that others can't see, as if her expressions belong to her and others can't see them.
In the past month, in the eyes of others, Quan Mingyu has been a very close person to Honglian.
Honglian listened to Quan Mingyu talk about various things in the sect, and she was not so upset, because she was injured, her body could not cultivate all the time, so many times she just took it with her with nothing, with Quan Mingyu here, he could still know the situation of Wan Jue Peak, which was in line with her mind.
The two of them sat on stone benches in the courtyard, talking about what had happened in the past two days. Honglian suddenly remembered someone in her heart, since she was injured, she had never heard about Lan Ruoxue. I don't know if it's deliberately avoided or what, and Quan Mingyu has never said anything about her.
"Did Lan Ruoxue look for you?"
Quan Mingyu suddenly heard her ask, a little strange, and then began to be a little nervous, could it be that Honglian misunderstood? Quan Mingyu thought secretly in his heart, and said in his mouth:
"I haven't met her, I heard that she has been in retreat, and I guess she used a talisman to hurt you, and she didn't have a face. ”
Honglian shook her head, although Lan Ruoxue was unreasonable and capricious, but Honglian could feel that she really liked Quan Mingyu, if not, she would not be easily provoked by herself, and in a fit of anger, she shot and injured herself with a talisman. Honglian's expression returned to its previous lightness, and said:
"Maybe it's not because of this, Senior Brother Mingyu, you should probably go and see her, she seems to be ...... to you"
Before she could finish speaking, Quan Mingyu immediately interrupted:
"I don't like her. Senior Sister Red Lotus, don't get me wrong. ”
Honglian was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Quan Mingyu to have such an attitude, he had never shown such an impatient look to himself, Honglian shook her head secretly, it seems that it is necessary for her to make it clear to the other party, she still thought that this is it, it is not bad to accept a younger brother, but to delay other people's time, she still doesn't want to do that.
"Senior Brother Mingyu, you don't have to explain this to me, in fact, Senior Sister Lan didn't mean to hurt me, I deliberately provoked her that day, I can feel that she really likes you, don't let yourself regret it. ”
Quan Mingyu listened to Honglian's words, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, didn't she know that the person she liked was her? Why did she push herself to others...... Quan Mingyu couldn't help but raise his head to look at Honglian's eyes, a little hesitant and a little expectant, he slowly spoke:
"Senior Sister Red Lotus, in fact, I, I ......"
"I don't love you. Before Quan Mingyu could continue, Red Lotus had already refused.
"Don't think too well of me, I don't love you, if you ask me if I like you, I can only say, I don't hate you. In fact, you should put more time and energy on useful people, I think Senior Brother Mingyu should still cherish the people who are good to you, we are just friends. Honglian's tone was already a little cold, she knew the consequences of breaking the thread, since the other party was still thinking about that aspect of the relationship, she really needed to make it clear.
Quan Mingyu looked at Honglian blankly, he didn't expect the other party's attitude to be so resolute, why, doesn't she like herself, won't she like it...... Does she like someone else? Is it White Book City?
Quan Mingyu's head was buzzing.
"As long as I cherish it, can't you look at more people who are good to you?" Quan Mingyu reluctantly asked, he didn't understand why Red Lotus always rejected people thousands of miles away, these days he thought that Red Lotus was different from himself, but he didn't expect it to be the same, her expression was still as cold as ice, which made Quan Mingyu feel deeply cold.
Red Lotus didn't look at him again, just stood up and turned around and walked towards the room.
"I don't need to. ”
Her voice drifted through the air, faintly.
"But I'm not going to give up, and one day, you'll like me. ”
Quan Mingyu said firmly behind her. He firmly believes that as long as he insists, Honglian will definitely see his sincerity. After saying this, Quan Mingyu turned around and left, with a firm step.
Red Lotus's right foot paused in mid-air as she was about to step into the room, and she sighed softly.
