Chapter Twenty-Seven: Yunze Retreat
For the first time in more than 20 years, Yun Ze Zhenren felt that he was so cowardly, and there was no way to face these problems on Bai Xiaoqi.
Early the next morning, Bai Xiaoqi had just woken up, and he was called to the study by Yun Ze. Bai Xiaoqi changed his previous cheerfulness, and just stood there quietly and restrainedly, keeping a distance from Yun Ze. Yun Ze felt a pain in his heart when he saw Bai Xiaoqi's appearance, and turned to ask gently, "Are you feeling better?" ”
"Back to Master, it's much better!" Bai Xiaoqi was still standing there, his head down, and he couldn't see her expression.
"Come here." Yun Ze pointed to the location beside him and said to Bai Xiaoqi.
Hearing this, Xiao Qi slowly moved his steps to this side, walked to Yun Ze's side, and did not sit down.
"Sit." Yun Ze pulled Bai Xiaoqi to sit beside him, and pushed the osmanthus cake on the table in front of her, "Eat." ”
"If the master is fine, Xiao Qi will go out......" Bai Xiaoqi was in a particularly complicated mood when he saw Yun Ze at this time, and he didn't know how to get along with him, so he just wanted to get out of the way as soon as possible.
"How long are you going to hide from me?" Yun Ze couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw Xiao Qi and him so unfamiliar, and asked bitterly.
"I didn't hide from Master......" Bai Xiaoqi quibbled weakly.
"From the time you first came to Cuilin Garden, I decided that you were my apprentice, and nothing could be changed. Mingde Palace, you defend my reputation, Medicine King Valley, you have received it on my behalf, you blocked the sword for me under the waterfall in the back mountain, and you would rather endure the pain of poison than betray me, these are all in the eyes of the teacher. It's not for the teacher's ruthlessness, I can't believe you, it's just that the teacher doesn't dare to bet on tens of thousands of lives in the Taiqing Sect! ”
Yun Ze looked at Bai Xiaoqi with sadness, ready for her not to forgive herself, "You can hate me and blame me, but I will never give up on you!" Yesterday, it was because the teacher was wrong, would you like to forgive me? ”
Bai Xiaoqi didn't expect Yun Ze Zhenren to apologize to him, thinking carefully about his words, recalling everything he had experienced in the past five months - she defended Yun Ze's reputation, and Yun Ze taught those disciples for her to be angry; Her qi sea was destroyed, and Yun Ze sacrificed his life to take Dan for her; One by one, one by one, all vividly. If he is transposed, can he give up tens of thousands of lives and ignore it, just to believe in one person? I'm afraid there will be hesitation......
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaoqi's tears fell, and all the grievances came up for a while.
The first time Yun Ze Zhenren saw Bai Xiaoqi crying, and it was also the first time he saw a girl crying, he panicked for a while, and hurriedly got up and wiped his snot and tears for Bai Xiaoqi with his white sleeves. Which Cheng thought that Bai Xiaoqi hugged Yun Ze Zhenren at once, and cried and said, "Xiao Qi still thinks that the master wants me anymore!" I thought I was going to be a homeless orphan! ”
Bai Xiaoqi cried sadly, Yun Ze's heart was broken, and he hugged her and comforted her softly: "No, no." As long as I am here, I will never let you suffer the slightest grievance in the future. ”
When Bai Xiaoqi heard this, his heart was even more moved, and he cried even more fiercely. Yun Ze had no choice but to hold her in his arms and let her cry enough. Xu was tired after a day of tossing and turning with poisonous hair yesterday, and last night he was worried that he would be expelled from the division by Yun Ze, so he slept well all night, and he cried again for half a day today, and after a while, Xiao Qi fell asleep with Yun Ze in his arms.
Yun Ze shook his head a little helplessly, hugged her and put her on his bed, and then covered the quilt for him. Sit and watch her quietly. What kind of nightmare did Xu have, Bai Xiaoqi's brows were tightly locked, and Yun Ze stretched out his hand to smooth the word "Chuan" between her eyebrows. But at this time, Bai Xiaoqi grabbed his index finger, Yun Ze was startled, looked up and saw that Bai Xiaoqi was still asleep, afraid of waking her up, so he didn't take out his hand, but let her grab it. After a while, Yun Ze felt a little sleepy, so he sat on the ground and fell asleep on the edge of the bed, and the hand still didn't take it back.
Qin Yu and Xiaoba are two boys after all, they are relatively rough, and seeing that Yun Ze Zhenren did not blame them, they treated them as before, so they didn't take yesterday's events to heart.
After sleeping until the afternoon, Bai Xiaoqi woke up and found himself lying on Yun Ze's bed, he was instantly startled, and hurriedly got up and ran out. However, just halfway through the run, he was stopped by Yun Ze, "Where do you want to go?" ”
Bai Xiaoqi stopped and looked back at Yun Ze timidly, and smiled awkwardly: "Master, it's time to practice......"
"The wound on your right shoulder is not healed yet, it looks like it is already inflamed today, who told you to stay under the waterfall yesterday?" Yun Ze Zhenren sat there and glanced at her, faintly unhappy.
"I'll go by myself, it's okay Master, I was injured more than this, it's all the same......" Bai Xiaoqi knew that he had said the wrong thing, and the more he went to the back, the quieter his voice became.
"Say, why don't you continue?" Yun Ze looked at her playfully, and there was an inexplicable anger burning in his heart.
"Don't talk about it, Master, I'm going to recuperate......" Bai Xiaoqi was a little creepy by Yun Ze, and he made an excuse to slip away. Unexpectedly, as soon as one foot stepped out of the door, Yun Ze carried it back like a chicken.
"Sit down, come with me to the back mountain in a moment!" Yun Ze commandingly pressed Bai Xiaoqi to the edge of the table and sat down, as soon as she sat down, the sweet smell of osmanthus cake on the table lingered in her nose, and her stomach screamed angrily.
Yun Ze Zhenren was distressed and wanted to laugh, and glanced at her, "Eat!" ”
Bai Xiaoqi smiled at Yun Ze embarrassedly, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth and ate it in a big gulp, maybe he was in a bit of a hurry, Bai Xiaoqi's face was red when he was choked, Yun Ze on the side looked very helpless, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, and said with a doting face: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you!" ”
Bai Xiaoqi took the tea and drank it all, only then did he ease up, and smiled innocently: "It's that this osmanthus cake is so delicious, I can't help it." Hey hey ......"
Yun Ze glanced at Bai Xiaoqi, and continued to look at the book in his hand, but he was happy like a three-year-old child in his heart.
Seeing that Bai Xiaoqi had almost eaten, Yun Ze took her to the back mountain, Qin Yu and Xiaoba were studying the formation, and when they saw Yun Ze coming, they hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Get up, you were all injured the day before yesterday, and you should not get wet, so let's avoid meditating under this waterfall! Everything else is business as usual! I'm going to be in retreat for a while, and you're recovering from your injuries and meditating on your own. If you don't know anything, you can go to Jun Xiufeng to find my senior brother! Yun Ze is very concerned about the poison on the three of them, hoping to find a solution.
As soon as he heard that Yun Ze Zhenren was going to retreat, the fear of being dominated by Yun Ze's injury last time slowly hit his heart.
"Master, can you promise us not to get hurt?" Bai Xiaoqi looked at Yun Ze cautiously and said as if discussing.
How can you get hurt if you're just a retreat? Yun Ze just wanted to reprimand a few words, and suddenly thought of the result of his retreat last time, it seems that these three children are worried about themselves! I was very happy in my heart, but I pretended to be serious and said, "Being a teacher is just a retreat, no need to make a fuss!" Keep cultivating! After speaking, he turned around and left, and the three people behind him didn't see the corners of Yun Ze's mouth that couldn't help but rise.
The three of them practiced alone for a few days, Qin Yu encountered some doubts in the technique, and the three of them discussed it and there was no solution. Qin Yu decided to go to Junxiu Peak to find Yun Ming Zhenren for advice, and Xiao Qi and Xiaoba continued to cultivate in Cuilin Yuan.
On the way to Junxiu Peak, Qin Yu passed by the lotus pond and saw Yueli looking at the scenery from the shore from a distance, so he thought about stepping forward to say hello. As soon as he got closer, he saw the turtle Xiao Jiu on the ground slowly crawling towards the lotus pool, Yueli wanted to reach out to stop it because she was sitting in a wheelchair, but she didn't want to fall into the water with her, and when she was anxiously calling for help, Qin Yu quickly jumped into the water and rescued her.
Because the pool water was too cold, and Yueli was frightened, she curled up in Qin Yu's arms and shivered. Seeing this, Qin Yu didn't say a word, so he hugged Yueli and returned to Jun Xiufeng.
When the disciples who came to Junxiu Peak saw the appearance of the two, they hurriedly went to inform Yunming Zhenren. Qin Yu didn't pay attention to it, and directly sent Yueli back to the room, and then asked the maid to change Yueli's clothes. He stood outside the door in wet clothes.
At this time, Yun Ming Zhenren, who heard the news of Yueli falling into the water, rushed over, saw Qin Yu standing outside the door, and saw his wet appearance, so he ordered his disciple: "Go and take him to change his clothes." ”
After changing his clothes and coming back, Qin Yu saw Yun Ming standing there with a blue face, questioning the people, asking them who accompanied Yueli out today, and why did she fall into the water?
Everyone was so frightened by Yun Ming that they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound. At this time, a servant girl stood up tremblingly, "Today I went out with Miss Yueli, Miss Yueli told the slave to go to the lotus pond to collect morning dew and come back to brew lotus brew, she, she was waiting for the slave on the shore, but somehow fell into the water......"
"You ......" Yun Ming Zhenren was just about to get angry, but was interrupted by Yueli who came out after changing his clothes.
"Father, don't blame Lan Xin, it's just me who was careless, it's unfortunate that Qin Yu saved me, I'm fine." Saying that, Yueli glanced at Qin Yu gratefully.
Yun Ze didn't want to get angry again when he saw Yueli say this, but he just told Yueli to follow at least two people next time she went out.
Then he said to Qin Yu: "Thank you Qin Yu for your nephew today." ”
"Uncle Shi is too polite, Yueli is my senior sister, this is what I should do. Originally, I also wanted to come to Jun Xiufeng to ask my uncle about some cultivation problems, but I happened to pass by, and it is estimated that if someone else changes, I will also lend a helping hand to my senior sister. Qin Yu smiled humbly.
Yun Ming liked Qin Yu's humble appearance very much when he saw him, and his good impression of him deepened a lot, "My nephew just said that he asked me for advice, I don't know if this big man came to me all the way and wants to know this?" ”
"Back to my uncle, my master was in retreat a few days ago, and he specially instructed us before the retreat that if we have any questions, we can ask you for advice at any time." Qin Yu replied respectfully.
"Oh, so that's the case, my junior brother has loved retreat since he was a child, and this apprentice still hasn't changed at all, it's really unreliable!" Yun Ming laughed and scolded Yun Ze for being irresponsible, and threw the apprentice to himself.
"Master also has guidance for us, but the disciple is too stupid." Qin Yu sneered.
"Don't be sloppy for him, I still know my own junior brother!" Yun Ming said to Qin Yu with a smile. "If you don't understand anything in the future, come to me and ask, anyway, I have time."
"Uncle Xie!" Qin Yu smiled happily and followed Yun Ming to the study.
