Chapter 188: The Woman I Like (1st Update)
After the cultivation of the "Pure Heart Sutra" was successful, Liu Muxi was very sensitive to people's emotions, and very few people could hide their true thoughts in front of her.
Liu Muxi easily felt Nangong Ziyan's jealousy and hostility, and also had some understanding of her heart.
But in any case, Nangong Ziyan is a disciple of the real person in charge of the sect, so she can't be too slow, at least on the surface, she must get by, otherwise, wouldn't she slap the face of the sect again?
Liu Muxi originally not only refined a bottle of elixir, but also an elixir prepared with spirit grass, which is most suitable for Nangong Ziyan's cultivation, and the most important thing is that this elixir can alleviate the martial artist's madness caused by his cultivation too fast and his foundation is unstable, it can be said that this elixir is enough for Nangong Ziyan to break through to the innate smoothly without causing any hidden dangers.
However, after Liu Muxi saw Nangong Ziyan, he immediately changed his mind. She doesn't have a very good impression of Nangong Ziyan, although she has excellent qualifications, but she is worried.
She really didn't know why the Daoist Sect Sect would accept her as a disciple, the Sect's vision was so old-fashioned, how could she not see through Nangong Ziyan's nature?
With this question, Liu Muxi met the real person in charge of Huayang.
"Disciple Liu Muxi, I have seen the real person in charge." Liu Muxi saluted Huayang Zhenren.
"The junior Huang Qi has replaced Huayang Zhenren." Huang Qi also bowed, of course, this is just a martial arts junior's gift to the seniors, no matter what the identity is, Huayang Zhenren's cultivation is above her, and the salute will not suffer, not to mention, the two factions are about to marry, and harmony is the most important.
"Hurry up and excuse me!" Huayang Zhenren didn't show any majesty of the master, and his smile was very amiable.
Huayang Zhenren gave them a seat, and then began to ask about some of Liu Muxi's situation outside, Liu Muxi said briefly, of course, Huayang Zhenren did not snub Huang Qi, and the conversation with them was like that of elders and juniors, which made people not feel a little awkward, but ironed in their hearts.
After the conversation came to an end, Liu Muxi still remembered Nangong Ziyan after all, and at this time, he introduced the topic to her-
"The disciple just saw Senior Sister Nangong, the newly accepted personal disciple of the master uncle, and it is really extremely qualified, even if it is a big sect, I am afraid that there is a place. The disciple congratulates the master in charge of another good apprentice, and adds another heavenly warrior to our Puji Temple. β
Liu Muxi's words happened to scratch the itch of Huayang Zhenren, and accepting Nangong Ziyan as an apprentice was the most proud thing he was in recent times, and he couldn't help touching his beard and laughing, but he still said modestly: "My nephew is really awarded, although Ziyan has good qualifications, but compared to her nephew, she is still slightly inferior, if she can have such an achievement as you, the old man can die with peace of mind." β
Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed: "It's a pity, Zi Yan is too young, her heart is not stable enough, and some teenagers may suffer a lot of setbacks in the future. β
Hearing this, Liu Muxi smiled slightly, "This is natural." As a senior sister, taking care of the same junior brother and sister is what it should be. β
When Huayang Zhenren heard this, a smile appeared on his face, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "I really didn't misunderstand you, with your senior sister taking care of you, it will be difficult for your senior sister Nangong to think of it." β
When Liu Muxi heard this, he already understood the idea of the master.
The head of the sect really loves and values Nangong Ziyan very much, otherwise, he would not let her take care of Nangong Ziyan, however, Huayang Zhenren also knows Nangong Ziyan's heart, but he still accepts her as an apprentice, that is, he thinks that Nangong Ziyan's shortcomings are harmless, and her nature is still good.
After all, there is nothing wrong with being competitive, even if you have a little temper, geniuses are always special, and it will be good to experience them in the future.
Liu Muxi sighed in her heart, after all, she is regarded as a junior sister, as long as she is not an ungrateful white-eyed wolf and will not betray her master, what does it matter if she helps her a few times?
When Huang Qi heard this, she was a little unhappy, and she said directly: "Huayang's words are taught, but the juniors don't agree with it. It's all a personal matter, how can you rely on others? What's more, Mu Xi is about to marry in Jizhou, even if she wants to take care of Nangong Ziyan, she is also powerless, why should she give Mu Xi such a big burden? Even if Mu Xi is a disciple of Puji Temple, there is no reason to take care of your disciple for the master. Besides, the senior disciples in charge of the sect are very arrogant, and they may not look down on Mu Xi! β
Since Huayang Zhenren took over as the head of the sect, almost no one dared to shout at him like this, let alone refute his words loudly, even if his cultivation was good, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and his face inevitably came out with a hint of it.
Huang Qi didn't see it, but she just didn't think so.
Huang Qi is short-sighted, Liu Muxi has already been included in the scope of protection by her, as long as she is there, no one can give Liu Muxi anger.
Now that he saw that Huayang Zhenren actually asked Liu Muxi to carry that Nangong Ziyan, his anger suddenly rose.
It is understandable to bring up the younger brothers and sisters. But that person must not be Nangong Ziyan.
Huang Qi saw very clearly that Nangong Ziyan's hostility and jealousy towards Liu Muxi, even if Liu Muxi brought her, she probably wouldn't be grateful.
How could Huang Qi tolerate Liu Muxi doing such a thankless thing?
Since Liu Muxi is not easy to refuse, let her say it!
Anyway, she is not afraid of Huayang real people at all.
Moreover, it was Huayang Zhenren's proposal, but Huang Qi's good impression of him was gone, and he even had a little more bad feelings.
Seeing Huang Qi defending himself like this, Liu Muxi was very moved. However, Huayang Zhenren is the head of Puji Guan no matter what, and her uncle can't let him get off the stage, so he said: "Uncle Zhang, Huang Qi speaks straightforwardly, has a straightforward heart, and is the most beloved granddaughter of the elder of Xuantian Sect, so her temper will inevitably be bigger." However, she is the most enthusiastic about her friends, and she is also worried that I will delay the preparation for marriage, so in a hurry, she will offend the master, hoping that the teacher will forgive her for this rude for the sake of her sincere heart for treating me. β
When Huayang Zhenren heard this, his expression was slightly stunned, and he glanced at Liu Muxi thoughtfully, but saw that Liu Muxi was naturally frank, did not dodge or dodge, his expression was sincere, and he still respected him as before.
However, what she said just now sounded like she was excusing Huang Qi, but in fact, she pointed out the status of the Huang family in Xuantian Sect, and also said that the purpose of her coming back this time was to prepare for marriage, although she agreed to his request, but she also pointed out that she might not have time to take care of his disciples for him.
Huayang Zhenren sighed slightly in his heart, what he was worried about had finally appeared.
It is said that girls are extroverted, which is really good.
If it was before, when Liu Muxi faced him, he would definitely only listen to the training, but now, just let her bring her junior sister, she was not happy, but refuted him for an outsider in the sky.
Isn't this a girl extrovert?
If he had known this, he should have thought about this marriage.
You must know that Lu Dao, Liu Muxi is now a martial artist at the peak of the middle congenital stage, and staying in Puji Temple will be more helpful to Puji Temple than marrying out of Lu Dao.
If it is, Liu Muxi marries into a family that Pujiguan can control, Pujiguan naturally doesn't have to worry about Liu Muxi not doing things for Pujiguan, but Liu Muxi is going to marry Xuantianzong, and they basically can't control Liu Muxi, relying on her feelings for Pujiguan.
However, before Liu Muxi got married, he began to turn his heart to Xuantian Sect, how could he not be emotional?
It is precisely because he feels that he may not be able to control Liu Muxi and is disappointed in her that Huayang Zhenren has greater expectations for Nangong Ziyan, and even reminds himself that he must not make the same mistake, Nangong Ziyan is better not to marry, if he marries out, but he can't marry as high as Liu Muxi.
Now, Pujiguan has become a first-class sect, and for hundreds or even thousands of years, there is no need to climb up again, and there is no need to hug the thighs of Xuantian Sect in order to be promoted to a first-class sect like at the beginning.
Therefore, when they agreed to Liu Muxi to join Xuantian Sect, they also had such a consideration.
Otherwise, they are not willing to push such a good seedling with great potential outward.
Nangong Ziyan can naturally feel the master's attention and expectations for herself, and she also knows that the master hopes that she can surpass Liu Muxi, which is also the reason why her ambition grows so quickly, and even regards Liu Muxi as an imaginary enemy.
Liu Muxi didn't know what Huayang Zhenren thought, but she was sensitive, and combined with Huayang Zhenren's attitude and practices, she guessed a few points about his thoughts.
It turns out that in the eyes of Huayang Zhenren, is she actually going to become an outsider?
Only then did he can't wait to cultivate a second Liu Muxi, replace her status and influence in Pujiguan, and even use her to promote Nangong Ziyan before she leaves.
She didn't want to think about Huayang Zhenren with such a utilitarian idea, because Huayang Zhenren has always been an enlightened, tolerant, and respectable old man in her heart, not to mention, he is also Senior Brother Mu and the master of the medicine, and he used to defend her a lot, how could he be so utilitarian like now, and calculate everything clearly?
Liu Muxi said this, Huayang Zhenren naturally didn't care about this matter, and the three of them chatted again, although they still looked happy, but Liu Muxi knew what was the difference between them.
She could clearly feel Huayang Zhenren's alienation and politeness to herself.
Did he even think of her as an outsider?
Liu Muxi and Huang Qi said goodbye and left, and when they left Zhengyang Palace, Liu Muxi had more things to worry about.
There is nothing more uncomfortable than treating an elder you respect as an outsider.
Maybe it won't be long before these brothers and sisters of hers will alienate themselves and never treat her as their own again.
Huang Qi and Liu Muxi didn't speak, Liu Muxi was worried and not emotional, but Huang Qi was sad for Liu Muxi.
It wasn't until he got out of the main peak that Huang Qi snorted lightly and said: "I've been listening to you praise how good your teacher is, the elders are kind, the brothers are friendly, there are very few calculations and intrigues, I still have such a good impression of them, I didn't expect ......"
Huang Qi didn't say any more, but not everyone could hear the unfinished meaning of her words. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Liu Muxi's previous words.
Of course, she was not accusing Liu Muxi, but expressing her dissatisfaction with Huayang's real master and apprentice.
Liu Muxi was a little stunned and said: "In my impression, Puji Concept is indeed as I said. Perhaps, something has changed during the time I was away! β
Although Liu Muxi is reluctant to admit it, she also knows that the Puji concept has indeed changed a lot, and it is probably impossible to go back to the past.
When the status changes, people's hearts naturally change with it.
This kind of change may be a good thing for the development of Puji concept, but Liu Muxi still doesn't like this change very much.
Since Pujiguan has become a first-class sect, in order not to fall back, naturally they can't fight or grab as before, on the contrary, because after Pujiguan was promoted to a first-class sect, the foundation is too poor, they have to grab resources, rapidly expand their strength, and naturally have to fight, grab, and calculate everywhere.
Huang Qi also understood the bends inside, so he stopped talking.
It's not that Liu Muxi is wrong, but the way of doing things in Pujiguan has changed.
Because Huayang Zhenren said that Mu Shengqiu was in retreat, Liu Muxi and Huang Qi returned directly to Guangyun Peak, and then met Lin Zongyao, who came to visit.
"Senior Sister Liu, you're finally back." When Lin Zongyao saw Liu Muxi, he hurriedly greeted him, with a hint of excitement and joy in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Lin, have you been waiting for a long time?" Liu Muxi also showed a smile, and his heart was also very close.
"It didn't take long." Lin Zongyao touched his head and smiled.
Actually, he's been here for almost an hour.
Liu Muxi introduced the two, and Huang Qi and Lin Zongyao also knew each other.
Liu Muxi planned to go to the dojo he had just completed to have a look, so he asked Lin Zongyao and Huang Qi to accompany him.
Lin Zongyao and Huang Qi happily went.
However, when he arrived at the peak he chose, the result surprised Liu Muxi.
At the beginning, this mountain peak was built according to Liu Muxi's meaning, as simple and generous as possible, and in order to avoid large-scale earthwork, this mountain peak was only developed in a small part, and it was almost the same as having a residence and a medicine garden.
However, when she returned, she found that this mountain had changed a lot, and it was not at all what she had set it to be, which greatly exceeded her expectations and imagination.
At this time, the dojo has been completely completed, and there is a huge mountain rock, placed at the foot of the mountain, waiting for her to inscribe it herself.
The buildings on the mountain peak, in addition to Liu Muxi's residence and medicine field, there are also various pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, this is not a simple arrival, but a natural garden integrated into the entire mountain peak, at a glance you know that the road is a great effort.
Liu Muxi and his entourage walked all the way to see it, and the two little guys, Yuan Ling and Yuan An, were amazed all the way.
They are Liu Muxi's children, and before Liu Muxi got married, they also wanted to live here. The thought of living in such a beautiful place made me excited at the age of two.
Lin Zongyao also saw it for the first time, with amazement on his face, but there was no trace of greed, but he felt that Senior Sister Liu lived here, which was in line with his identity.
Huang Qi is well-informed, Tianzong Mountain is much more elegant and beautiful than this, his expression is the most calm, and after reading it, he said with a hint of disgust: "So-so!" β
She really didn't like this place.
However, as a foothold for Liu Muxi in Pujiguan, it is still good.
There was a water pavilion in front, and Liu Muxi and the others went over to rest and drink tea.
Yuan Ling and Yuan An were very clever, and they didn't need to be instructed, and they quickly served refreshments.
After Liu Muxi came back, people were arranged here, so that Liu Muxi could move in at any time.
This is a mountain peak, rich in aura, and the four seasons are spring, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
"Mu Xi, what name are you going to give your dojo?" Huang Qi squinted and enjoyed the spring breeze blowing slowly, and asked.
Liu Muxi didn't think about it, so he said, "I haven't thought about it either, why don't you help me get one?" β
"Yes, yes!" Huang Qi likes to join in the fun, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Look, how is Chaoxi Peak?" Or is it Jade Peak? Qinglin Peak? β
"......" Liu Muxi couldn't laugh or cry, this can't be a casual name, right?
"Think for yourself! I can't help it. Huang Qi thought of several names, but Mu Xi just didn't nod, she really couldn't think of it, and said a little dejectedly.
Liu Muxi smiled, pondered for a while, and said: "There are many mountains and rivers here, waterfalls, streams, and even lakes, etc., which are very beautiful, so it might as well be called Xiushui Peak!" β
"It's a good name, let's call it Xiushui Peak!" Lin Zongyao is Liu Muxi's brainless fan, and he thinks it's good whatever she says.
Huang Qi was powerless to refute, and said weakly: "This is where you live, naturally you take the name you like, then use this name!" β
So, the name was decided.
Lin Zongyao began to talk to Liu Muxi about how much he had learned from his master during this time, and to what extent, it could be heard that Lin Zongyao had a good life in the master's school, at least very fulfilling.
Now Lin Zongyao is a little more confident than before.
Huang Qi listened interestingly, looked at Lin Zongyao with interest for a while, and suddenly asked, "Little brother of the Lin family, you have been here for so long in Pujiguan, have you met any favorite woman?" β
Huang Qi was just joking, talking and playing, but he didn't expect Lin Zongyao's face to turn red all of a sudden, and he was very embarrassed.
Liu Muxi and Huang Qi glanced at each other in surprise, so it seems that he really has a favorite woman.
Liu Muxi also became a little interested, but what kind of woman would make Lin Zongyao so interested?
"Who is your sweetheart? Speak it and listen to it, and let us see and understand. Huang Qi quipped.
