After thinking of this recipe for stewing carp with golden buckwheat, Shui Qingshuang immediately got up, took the corresponding items out of the Peony Hall, and went down the mountain along a cliff to a cold pool hidden at the foot of Cangya Mountain.

The cold pool is not very big, but the water depth is more than ten zhang, and the water in the pool is cold all year round. At dawn, a layer of white mist wafted over the water. Shui Qingshuang sat on the cold stones, patiently fishing.

At this time, although it is not the turn of spring and summer, the cold pool is still filled with cold air, which makes Shui Qingshuang, who has a strong internal force, tremble.

More than an hour passed quietly, and Shui Qingshuang had already released more than a dozen ordinary carp back into the cold pool. She was not discouraged, and after fishing for another half hour, she finally caught a golden-edged carp with a green back, golden gills, and two more spines in its tail fin than ordinary carp.

Shui Qingshuang happily put this gold-edged carp in a fish basket, climbed the cliff of the back mountain with it, dug up a few clumps of golden buckwheat there, and took these things to the old woman's house by the sea......

"Sir, come and have some fish soup." Shui Qingshuang sent the stewed fish soup to Chen Zhongyue's bedside, and introduced softly: "Your injury is very serious, and this fish soup has the effect of warming and replenishing deficiency......

It wasn't until she watched Chen Zhongyue eat the fish soup that Shui Qingshuang left with the empty bowl satisfied.

Since that day, Shui Qingshuang was worried that the master would find out, and he didn't want to delay his practice, so he went to the cold pool to fish in the middle of the night every day, and then made the fish soup before the early morning for Chen Zhongyue to take it......

Half a month has passed, and Chen Zhongyue has fully recovered. Early that morning, Shui Qingshuang was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Chen Zhongyue.

Chen Zhongyue bowed and said, "Girl, you are really a bodhisattva, and Chen Zhongyue is grateful." ”

Shui Qingshuang took a few steps back, and hurriedly replied: "Sir, you really don't have to be polite, you helped our sister first, and it was my junior sister who aggravated your injury, I still feel ashamed of you after doing this." ”

"Don't say that, girl." Chen Zhongyue shook her head, "If it weren't for your careful care these days, I'm afraid I would have returned to the West long ago." ”

"Mr. Yan zhòng. I should do this, Master teaches us every day to be kind to others, and to save lives and help the wounded. So, you don't have to say thank you anymore. I'm happy to see you healed. Shui Qingshuang said: "You must pay attention in the future, don't be so seriously injured again." ”

"Girl, you don't ask me what my injuries are about, but you come to your aid. Aren't you afraid that I'm a villain? Chen Zhongyue looked at Shui Qingshuang and asked.

"Sir, in addition to the fact that you have helped our sisters, I see that you have an awe-inspiring righteousness, and you are definitely not a villain." Shui Qingshuang suddenly felt that her cheeks were hot, and she didn't dare to look directly at Chen Zhongyue, and planned to bypass the man and walk towards the door, "Since your injuries have healed, let's leave it at that." ”

Chen Zhongyue stretched out her hand and grabbed Shui Qingshuang's sleeve, "Girl, please forgive me for being rude, and dare to ask, are you from the Peony Hall?" ”

Shui Qingshuang slowly pulled out the sleeves and said softly, "Exactly." ”

"If the girl doesn't dislike it, I plan to go up to Cangya Mountain to the church to propose marriage and marry the girl. If the girl is unwilling, or there is a marriage contract...... Chen Zhongyue smiled faintly, "I will also be grateful to you for the rest of my life." ”

Shui Qingshuang's body trembled unconsciously, and her heart quietly became nervous, she remembered that the master had already confessed that if she met someone she liked with good character and martial arts, as long as she passed the three levels, the master would naturally agree to the marriage.

In fact, Shui Qingshuang had already had a good impression of Chen Zhongyue, but when she saw him say it directly like this, she didn't know how to respond for a while, she just blushed and lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing that Shui Qingshuang didn't make a sound, Chen Zhongyue nodded lightly, and after thanking her again, she picked up her simple bags and left.

Shui Qingshuang regretted that she didn't have the courage to agree to Chen Zhongyue in time, and returned to the Peony Hall in a huff, silently shedding sour tears in her heart.

……

A few days later, Shui Lengyue saw that Shui Qingshuang's expression was abnormal, so she asked, "Senior sister, are you sick?" ”

"I'm fine." Shui Qingshuang shook her head, "I'm just thinking about Master's body, her old man has been saying something to explain to the future generations recently, which makes me feel very uncomfortable." ”

"Senior sister, you should be happy." Shui Lengyue looked at Shui Qingshuang and said.

Shui Qingshuang sank her face, stared at Shui Lengyue and said unhappily, "Senior sister, how can you say such a thing?" ”

"Senior sister, in fact, Master's body has long been dead." Shui Lengyue said lightly: "She may go west at any time now, you and I are recognized as the master of the hall among the many disciples of the Peony Hall, and the master is more or less partial to you."

I think Master will soon hand over the position of Hall Master to you. Are you really confused, or are you deliberately pretending to be confused? Or is it that I am afraid that I will feel uncomfortable, so I deliberately say this and do this? ”

"Senior sister!" Shui Qingshuang looked at Shui Lengyue and shook her head helplessly, "For so many years, I haven't cared about being a hall master at any time.

In front of you, I have not concealed anything. To be honest, as long as we can carry forward our Peony Hall, I will feel happy about whoever sits in the position of the hall master. ”

"Senior sister, are you telling the truth?" Shui Lengyue stared at Shui Qingshuang and asked.

"I've never lied." Shui Qingshuang said categorically.

"That's good." Shui Lengyue nodded, "The sisters in the hall have already promised me that as long as I become the hall master, they will definitely obey my arrangement and glorify the Peony Hall with me."

Let me tell you straight now, if it is appointed by the master, you should be the candidate for the hall master, and if it is recommended by the disciples, I will definitely win. Since you also said that you don't care about the position of the hall master, and you also said that for the sake of the Peony Hall, anyone can be the hall master. So, do you dare to make a gentleman's agreement with me? ”

"What agreement?" Shui Qingshuang asked.

Shui Lengyue said, "If Master appoints you, you will take the initiative to give up your position and hand over the position of hall master to me. ”

Shui Qingshuang frowned and sighed lightly: "Senior sister, is this position really so important?" Our sisters are ......"

"Don't mention the sisters!" Shui Lengyue raised her hand and motioned for Shui Qingshuang not to say any more, she smiled coldly and said, "In the final analysis, you still refuse to promise me." ”

Shui Qingshuang pondered for a moment and said, "Senior sister, I can promise you. However, as long as Master does not allow it, I still have to follow Master's wishes. ”

"Okay." Shui Lengyue nodded with a smile, reached out to hold Shui Qingshuang's arm, and said softly: "Senior sister, it doesn't matter if Master doesn't agree. When Master dies, you can give it to me. ”

Shui Qingshuang didn't make a sound, and she suddenly felt unfamiliar with Shui Lengyue in front of her.

"Senior sister, I met that man yesterday in the small town under the mountain. At that time, he was helping several fishermen to work, and he had so much strength that he could carry more than 200 catties of fish at a time. Shui Lengyue looked at Shui Qingshuang with a smile, "I still have something I want to tell you today." ”

Shui Qingshuang heard that Chen Zhongyue hadn't left yet, and felt some comfort in her heart, "If you have anything to say, junior sister, please speak." ”
