Chapter 325: Meet the Great Elder
What are you crying about? ”
As soon as she saw the little girl shed tears, Shen Shuqing felt uncomfortable.
Very helpless.
He raised his hand, gently wiped the tears from her cheeks, and persuaded in a soft voice: "Shu Shu, don't cry, my brother brought your favorite red bean cake, or you can eat some first?" ”
Shen Shushu pursed her lips, stared at him with blank eyes, and choked up: "I don't want to eat." ”
Shen Shuqing didn't have a rut, "But I'm sleepy, then, then lie down for a while?" ”
He looked left and right, and did not mention anything in Lingxian City.
Regarding the Demon Sect, the Demon Lord, Shen Shuqing didn't want her to think about it again.
Instead of letting Shu Shu be hurt in the future, it is better for him to cut off this friendship now.
"I don't want to lie down either."
The little girl shook her head slightly, and said word by word: "Brother, I, we are back to the Spirit Immortal Gate again, right?" ”
Shen Shuqing hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't bear to lie to her.
He brushed the broken hair on her forehead, and his tone was so gentle that people couldn't get the slightest anger: "Yes, I'm back, Shu Shu can see my senior brother and sister." ”
"However, at this time, I'm afraid that you are all cultivating in the cultivation field, if Shu Shu wants to see it, my brother will take you there, okay?"
Shen Shushu shook her head.
She didn't want to go anywhere, she just wanted to go back to the big devil.
But now, she is in the Lingxian Gate, her movement is restricted, and she will definitely not be able to go down the mountain.
According to the regulations of the Lingxian Gate, unless there is a handwritten decree from the elders, no one is allowed to take half a step out of the Lingxian Gate at will.
She propped herself up on the edge of the bed and sat up.
The dry throat made her a little uncomfortable, and Shen Shushu coughed lightly: "Brother, I want to drink water, can you pour me a glass of water?" ”
Hearing her hoarse voice, Shen Shuqing immediately got up, walked to the table, poured a glass of warm water, and took the food box on the table and set it aside.
"Come on, Shushu."
He lowered his head, blew lightly a few times, and brought it to her mouth: "Be careful of burning." ”
"Hmm."
Shen Shushu took his hand and slowly drank the warm water.
Shen Shuqing was afraid that she would choke, her eyes fell on her cheeks tightly, and the force of holding the teacup couldn't be lighter.
"Be careful, don't get burned."
Otherwise, it is still yourself who is distressed.
After drinking the water, Shen Shushu gently pushed the teacup in his hand away, paused for a moment, and then said, "Brother, I want to wash up." ”
"Okay."
Shen Shuqing nodded.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to put the food box on the small coffee table next to the bed.
"If you're hungry, don't forget to eat red bean cake."
Shen Shushu reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, showing an obedient smile at him, but it made people feel sad.
Shen Shuqing's footsteps stagnated slightly, "I will come back as soon as possible." ”
"Okay."
After Shen Shuqing left, the door was not closed.
Shen Shushu got up from the bed with force, maybe he hadn't walked for several days, and now he stepped on the ground in vain, but he found that his legs were so weak that he couldn't even walk.
According to her like this, even if she is allowed to go down the mountain, I am afraid that she will not be able to go back to Lingxian City.
Even if you want to see the big devil, you can only wait for her body to get better.
She shouldn't be upset, she shouldn't be sad, she shouldn't waste her time.
She should cheer herself up.
Holding on to the pillars in the room, she walked the whole room several times, and only when she heard the noise outside did she return to the bed.
Shen Shuqing held the basin of water, raised her eyes, and saw the little girl sitting on the edge of the bed, supporting her chin, and gently shaking her slender legs.
He subconsciously twisted his eyebrows and walked in quickly.
"Shu Shu, you just woke up, don't move."
Hearing this, the little girl sat upright obediently, with her dark eyes open, and did not dare to move again.
She was as well-behaved as a puppeteer.
Shen Shuqing didn't think much about it.
Hurriedly placing the basin on the table, he quickly took out his handkerchief, put it in warm water, soaked it, wrung it out, and then took it.
"Here, here you go."
Seeing her obediently, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile, and he couldn't help but rub her little head: "Wipe the face of the little flower cat first." ”
"You're the little cat."
Shen Shushu was amused by his words.
Reaching out and taking the handkerchief, he slowly wiped his cheek.
After washing.
Shen Shuqing helped her up and said that he would take her to meet the Great Elder.
"Are you really going?"
Thinking of the big elder with a straight face, Shen Shushu couldn't help but feel the intention of retreating.
Seeing the little girl's retreat, Shen Shuqing chuckled and deliberately provoked: "What, scared?" ”
“......”
Are you afraid, so you don't have to go over?
Shen Shushu tilted her face slightly, looking at him with a face full of resistance.
"No, you can't go."
Even if she didn't speak, just looking at the little girl's expression, Shen Shuqing could guess what she meant.
If it weren't for Master's order, he wouldn't want her to go.
The tone was so resolute......
Shen Shushu drooped her head, depressed.
She hadn't even had time to mourn her lost love halfway, and at this moment, she was going to face the Great Elder in person.
She sighed heavily: "Then I'd better go." ”
Shen Shuqing rubbed her hair, "Come, brother comb your hair in a bun." ”
The little girl was reluctantly pressed by him, and the wooden comb slowly passed through her hair.
"Do you remember, in the past, you always asked your brother to comb his hair?"
“......”
Hearing this, it seemed that there were really extremely fast fragments flashing through her mind.
But people can't catch the slightest.
She nodded honestly: "I don't remember." ”
"Huh."
Shen Shuqing smiled.
He neatly combed her hair in a bun, and looked at it carefully for a moment before stopping: "No wonder, how old you were at that time, you can't remember, you can't remember." ”
The two of them walked out of the room together.
Shen Shushu was still wearing a veil, revealing a pair of clear and bright eyes.
The study is not far away.
After walking for a short time, I arrived at the door of the study.
Sensing the little girl's nervousness, Shen Shuqing pinched her cheek lightly: "Shhh ”
In fact, even if he is not there, the master will not hurt Shu Shu.
But he was always relieved.
"I'm not afraid."
Pinched by him, his cheeks were deformed, Shen Shushu frowned, and took a few steps back very quickly.
stared at him vigilantly, pointed to his hand, gritted his teeth and complained: "Don't pinch me again!" It hurts! ”
Shen Shuqing smiled, bowed his head and admitted his mistake without any temper: "Okay, okay, it's my brother's mistake, Shu Shu, don't be angry." ”
Shen Shushu pursed her lips tightly and snorted pretending to be angry.
At this moment, the door to the study was opened from the inside.
The Great Elder stood at the door, glanced at the two of them lightly, and suddenly, said to Shen Shushu, "If you don't come in, do you want to stand outside all the time?" ”
Shen Shuqing nodded: "Master." ”
Shen Shushu obediently shouted to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder looked at her quietly for a moment, and then leaned over slightly: "Qing'er, you stay outside, you come in." ”
He pointed at Shen Shushu.
"Me?"
Shen Shushu began to coax.
I couldn't believe that the Great Elder had just called her alone.
Seeing that she still didn't move, the Great Elder asked rhetorically, "What?" Don't dare to come in? ”
“......”
The little girl subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Shuqing.
Why is this so familiar?
Shen Shuqing pinched her cheek again, and said gently, "Go ahead." ”
Shen Shushu had no choice, so she had to follow the footsteps of the Great Elder into the study.
She walked in in bewilderment.
Listen to the door "snap" shut.
It was as if I could feel that my heart was stopping.
She held her breath and lowered her head, but her gaze couldn't help but wander.
The Great Elder sat down at the desk and poured himself a cup of hot tea unhurriedly.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of her standing all the time, and suddenly, she remembered Qing'er's precious strength for the little girl.
He pointed casually: "Sit down first, don't stand." ”
Shen Shushu was silent, a little flattered.
However, she didn't dare to take the Great Elder's words seriously.
"Great Elder, it's good for the disciple to stand."
The method of escaping from death still doesn't work.
The expectation of seclusion in the mountains and forests has also been shattered.
The little girl's sad face made the great elder look at it.
He sighed.
Staring at the veil that fell on her face, she said slowly: "Qing'er said, you are Shu Shu, can you take off the veil and take a look?" ”
Hearing the Great Elder's words, Shen Shushu hesitated slightly.
She really didn't expect that her brother had already exposed his identity, but he didn't mention it in front of her.
Shen Shushu raised her hand, wrapped around the back of her ear, and slowly untied the veil.
revealed a delicate appearance, and a pair of inky bright eyes stared directly at him.
The Great Elder muttered to himself: "It seems that Qing'er is not lying, it is really Shu Shu's girl." ”
Shen Shushu: "......"
If it weren't for her, who else would there be?
But the little girl did not dare to say anything.
Great Elder: "I heard that when you were descending the mountain, you were smashed in the head and lost your memory?" ”
Shen Shushu nodded heavily, not daring to have the slightest weakness.
It is said to be amnesia, but in fact it is......
Ahem, can't say.
The Great Elder stood up suddenly, shook his head lightly with his hands behind his back: "Pity you girl." ”
Shen Shushu lowered her head, didn't dare to reveal the emotions in her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Great Elder Hui, although the disciple has lost his memory, fortunately, there are nobles to help, so he can cure the amnesia and find his brother." ”
The nobleman in her mouth naturally refers to the Emperor.
Even the Great Elder thought so.
He knew in his heart, he had heard what Qing'er said before, and Shu Shu had been following the Demon Master for some time.
The Great Elder pondered for a moment before he said, "Girl Shushu, do you know what promise Qing'er made to Elder Ben in order to let you stay?" ”
Shen Shushu raised her head suddenly.
She didn't understand what the Great Elder meant's words meant.
"What...... What promises? ”
The Great Elder shook his head: "Do you know that Elder Ben has long intended for Qing'er to be the candidate for the next sect master?" ”
He didn't want to say it, but Shu Shu's girl was interacting with the people of the Demon Sect outside the Spirit Immortal City, not only himself, but even the four elders and many disciples present could see it.
He couldn't hide this.
Even for Qing'er, he could only let Shu Shu's girl wronged himself and stay here as a disciple watering flowers.
"I ....."
Although Shen Shushu knew it in her heart, she didn't want to say this kind of leaking the plot of the original book.
She shook her head, "I don't know." ”
Seeing this, the Great Elder sighed: "Qing'er can also be regarded as Elder Ben who has grown up, and Elder Ben also sees how his talent is cultivated. ”
"Looking at the entire Lingxian Sect, Qing'er's heart is the most suitable to become the master of the door, but, Shu Shu, do you know that Qing'er refused."
Shen Shushu suddenly felt that her throat was slightly dry, she swallowed hard, and she didn't dare to guess: "...... Why refuse? ”
"Because Qing'er doesn't want to be restrained, a long time ago, Elder Ben has already regarded him as the future master of the sect to cultivate, cultivate, and strategize, all of which are handed over to him."
The Great Elder chuckled: "But he said that he didn't want to fight for the position of the master of this sect." ”
Shen Shushu was silent for a moment.
After a while, she asked with a wistful expression, "Then, Great Elder, why are you telling me this?" ”
"But, he gave in for you."
The Great Elder sighed faintly: "On that day, he knelt in front of Elder Ben, bent on leaving you in the Spirit Immortal Gate, Elder Ben disagreed, so he took the initiative to accept the position of the master of the competition, for the sake of you, Shu Shu girl, if you were asked to choose one between Qing'er and the demon master, how would you choose?" ”
"I ......"
This asked Shen Shushu.
From the moment she met Shen Shuqing, she asked herself all the time.
If one day, the Lingxian Sect and the Demon Sect start a war, all the plot development will be back on track.
So how can she help?
She didn't know.
The Great Elder saw her hesitation, and knew that she could not find an answer herself.
He didn't deliberately embarrass her: "Shu Shu, in the future, you will wear this veil and come to Elder Ben's courtyard to be a disciple of watering flowers." ”
After a change of tone, he said again: "As for Fang Cai's question, wait until you think clearly, and then give Elder Ben an answer." ”
Shen Shushu: "What if the disciple can't think of an answer all the time?" ”
The Great Elder smiled: "Actually, you already have the answer in your heart. ”
Shen Shushu looked at him in a daze: "? ”
Although he couldn't understand the meaning of his words, Shen Shushu still accepted it.
"Okay, you go back first, otherwise, Elder Ben is afraid, and the planks can't block Qing'er's sight."
But no, as soon as the Great Elder said this, the door suddenly slammed open from the outside.
Suddenly, Shen Shuqing's figure appeared.
The Great Elder's expression was calm, as if he had long been surprised by this matter, he looked at Shen Shushu, as if to say: Look, Elder Ben is not wrong in what he said, right?
Shen Shushu couldn't hold back for a while, and suddenly chuckled.
Shen Shuqing was stunned.
Quickly adjusting his expression, he calmly bowed his head slightly: "Master, I'm ...... Disciple has disturbed Master? ”
The Great Elder was solemn and had a straight face: "What do you say? Recklessly rushed in, what kind of system did it become!? ”
Shen Shuqing immediately stood up straight and replied expressionlessly: "If you go back to Master, the disciple is here to bring dinner to Master." ”
Grand Elder: "......"
Tsai looked at him carefully, but did not see that he had a food box on him.
"Where's dinner?"
Shen Shuqing's face did not change: "It's still in the kitchen." ”
The Great Elder glared at him angrily: "Since you are still in the kitchen, how can you say that you are delivering dinner?" ”
"Fang is the disciple's speech, it should be the disciple who reminds the master to have dinner."
Shen Shuqing's speed of admitting his mistake is also different from that of ordinary people.
The Great Elder didn't believe his words, which was obviously because he was afraid that he, the master, would do something to Shu Shu.
That's why it's in such a hurry, without any regard for the rules.
That is, Qing'er, if someone else is changed, how can he dare to break into the study?
"That's it, I'll give you back Shu Shu's head for the teacher."
The Great Elder was impatient to drive people out.
Shen Shuqing didn't panic at all, and took the little girl's hand and was about to go out: "Master, I'm too disturbed." ”
Grand Elder: "......"
Now that you know how much you are disturbed, you dare to break in!
