Chapter 14: I Didn't Kneel
However, Xue'er didn't have the time and energy to think about this, Qiuru wouldn't go to find her ginger mung beans, but handed Xue'er a small white pill, Xue'er just sniffed it, and felt that the feeling of disgust in her stomach and intestines was reduced a lot.
However, she still pretended to be seasick and weak, and did not swallow the pill, after all, for her, there was no familiar person on the entire big ship, even if they saved themselves.
After changing her clothes and freshening up, Xue'er's face was still pale after the clouds, but it was like a beautiful jade that had been swept away from the dust, and finally exuded a radiant brilliance.
Xue'er's body seems to have a kind of charm that can naturally attract people's attention, but it is full of innocence and simplicity that does not understand the world. Although he was supported by Qiu Ru and Qiu Ping, and there was a manager Yang in front of him who always had a cold face, he still received a lot of amazing eyes along the way.
The higher you go, the more elaborate the decoration becomes, and the tighter the guards, almost every handover and every doorway is guarded. What Cher attracted along the way was the gaze of these people.
It's just that along the way, or from the time she was rescued on this big boat, Xue'er found that except for Aunt Liu and Qiuru Qiuping, who was supporting her, there was no more woman, all of them were men, and most of them were dressed as guards, all of them were similar in color, but the color of the belt was different, but they all seemed to be taller than He Laosan who rescued him.
And these people are basically between twenty and twenty-five or sixteen years old, young, and vigorous, all of them were as straight as javelins, but because of Xue'er's appearance, they couldn't help but quietly look sideways.
At the same time, Xue'er also had a strange feeling, that is, the more she followed the head Yang up, the lighter the feeling of seasickness became, and when she reached the only closed door on the top floor, her stomach and intestines stopped rebelling and became obedient!
This can only show one problem, that is, Xuanyuan's teardrop crystal is already very close to her!
Manager Yang stopped at the door, bowed down before he could speak, and even the cold look on his face was gone, replaced by a kind of respect that he had never felt before.
"Master, the people have been brought."
An old voice soon sounded in the room, although it seemed to tremble slightly, but it still carried a natural majesty, which made people awe-inspired. He coughed twice before saying, "Bring it in." ”
Manager Yang hurriedly answered "yes", then turned his head to look at Xue'er on the side and Qiuru Qiuping who was supporting Xue'er, and said to Xue'er in a low voice: "The people inside are noble, don't offend, if you ask anything, tell the truth." ”
I don't know who it is, it is so mysterious, I have to bathe and change clothes when I come to see him, and even the lack of fresh water is not exempt from vulgarity.
Xue'er secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, but she said yes again and again, nodding like a chicken pecking rice.
Her expression made Manager Yang very displeased, frowned, and was about to speak, but the old and majestic voice inside the door came again: "Come in!" ”
There was already a hint of impatience in his voice, obviously because he thought that Manager Yang's movements were too slow.
Manager Yang's face was pale, and he couldn't care about being more serious with Xue'er, so he had to answer again while pushing the door, and at the same time turned his head to warn Xue'er.
Taking advantage of the moment he turned to open the door, Xue'er stuck out her tongue directly, and squeezed her eyebrows at the back of Manager Yang. This was one of the small actions she used to deal with Yan Rumei when she was on the Holy Maiden Island, and at this moment, she unconsciously treated this strict Yang Manager as Yan Rumei, but she frightened Qiuru Qiuping on both sides.
This time it was Qiu Ru who spoke, and while she was walking forward with Xue'er, she leaned into her ear, almost biting her ear, and her voice was so low that even Xue'er could only hear it with full attention.
What she said was: "Manager Yang is also for your good." ”
In just a few words, Xue'er was already carried by these two people, followed by Manager Yang, and entered the room.
However, Xue'er still didn't see anyone, because there was a large floor-to-ceiling screen in front of her!
And she just listened to Qiuru's words attentively, and didn't pay attention to Manager Yang at all. So when I came in, in addition to this big screen, I didn't even see the people in charge of Yang, so I must have gone around behind the screen.
However, Qiuru and Qiuping stopped in front of the screen when they were supporting Xue'er, and almost at the same time let go of the hands holding Xue'er, pressed their backhand on Xue'er's shoulder, and pressed her shoulder before Xue'er could react!
Even because she was close to the teardrop crystal, Xue'er's seasickness symptoms were greatly alleviated, but she still didn't have much strength on her body, and Qiu Ru and Qiu Ping had a lot of strength, so they directly pressed Xue'er to her knees on the ground.
"You-"
Xue'er was shocked, but she only said these two words, and was covered by Qiu Ru, who knelt down, and at the same time lowered her voice again: "Don't make a loud noise." ”
Xue'er wanted to ask "why", but unfortunately the strength in Qiu Ru's hand was so strong that her breathing was a little unsmooth, and she couldn't say a word!
Helplessly, the situation was stronger than people, Xue'er couldn't fight, and finally had to nod, indicating that she understood what Qiuru meant.
Qiu Ru breathed a sigh of relief, and then let go of the palm that was covering Xue'er's mouth. At the same time, the old but majestic voice behind the screen sounded again.
However, those words were obviously not said to Xue'er, and it seemed to be reprimanding that Mr. Yang: "Who asked you to set up the screen, withdraw!" ”
"But......" Manager Yang seemed to want to tell something in a low voice, but was interrupted again by the voice: "Withdraw!" ”
"Yes."
This "yes", even Xue'er could hear the faint reluctance and worry in it. However, she didn't even have time to think, and saw the figure of Manager Yang coming out from behind the screen.
Xue'er quietly looked up, and sure enough, she found that the other party's face was ugly, but she looked like she couldn't have a seizure.
Her large number of nature was immediately interrupted by Manager Yang, and then there was another warning look, which made Xue'er shrink her neck in fright, and directly lowered her head again.
It didn't take too long for Mr. Yang to let people enter and carry away the screen, but Xue'er knelt directly from the moment she came in, and her knees began to hurt faintly, if it weren't for Qiuru Qiuping beside her on the left and right, I am afraid that she would have stood up and stomped her feet a long time ago.
Even when she was on the Holy Maiden Island, Yan Rumei urged her to practice hard, but there was no senseless punishment of kneeling or something, but she had never done it.
Especially Xue'er, or because of her high talent and rapid progress in cultivation, although Yan Rumei also did not allow her to leave the Holy Maiden Island, she was extremely tolerant of some of her small actions on weekdays, basically turning a blind eye, and Xue'er really never said how long she knelt and how long.
A person who has basically never knelt before is naturally more squeamish in her knees, so when the screen was removed and the old man who only heard her voice and no one appeared in front of Xue'er, she was trying to twist her body and get rid of Qiuru Qiuping's four hands that grabbed her two arms.
Seeing Xue'er being forced to kneel on the ground, the old man frowned, and the displeasure in his voice became more obvious: "Manager Yang, are you sure, you dare to let people kneel like this?" ”
This sentence made Manager Yang stunned again, and Xue'er was radiant after bathing and changing clothes. He only remembered that he was a little uncontrollable in front of such a gorgeous girl at that time, and as for what Qiuru Qiuping did, he completely left it behind!
"This ......"
He groaned, then turned his gaze in Cher's direction.
Of course, Xue'er knew that he was looking at the Qiuru Qiuping sisters, and naturally she didn't bother to touch the other party's moldy head, she was even more curious about the old man who made Manager Yang deflated everywhere.
Therefore, when Manager Yang asked Qiuru Qiuping with her eyes, she raised her head boldly and looked at the old man behind the screen curiously.
The old man's hair was gray, and he was neatly combed, bound with a gold ring. With a fair complexion, it should obviously be very well maintained, but unfortunately there is a deep "Chuan" character between the eyebrows, which should be the result of frequent frowning.
His eyebrows were very thick, and he was slightly raised, and he looked not angry and arrogant, and the eyes below were not big, but they showed the light of wisdom and depth, and he saw everything.
His mouth was tightly pursed, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly downward, as if he was suppressing his anger.
As for the clothes on the body, although the style is simple and the status cannot be seen, the luxurious fabric is enough to explain everything.
And the teardrop crystal, which was being held in the palm of the old man's palm at the moment, his eyes fell on it faintly, as if he was caught in some kind of memory.
As if sensing Xue'er's gaze, the old man's gaze finally moved away from the teardrop crystal and landed on the girl who was kneeling on the floor, but her body was extremely restless.
"You're the one who was rescued?"
Xue'er was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party was asking her questions, but she was not in a hurry to answer. Although the identity of the old man seems to be more mysterious than that of Manager Yang, the tone of his voice to himself is many times more kind than that of Manager Yang!
So Xue'er simply raised her head and showed a big smile at the other party: "Can you order that person to carry the screen away, can you also let me get up first?" ”
She said that "that person" was the time, and did not forget to stretch out her finger and point at Manager Yang, revealing an exaggerated look of fear, and then turned to look at the old man.
Manager Yang's face suddenly became even more ugly, and he couldn't help but shout in a low voice: "Presumptuous! ”
It's a pity that at this moment, he just guessed the result from Qiu Ru's eyes, and he didn't have time to report it to the old man!
The old man followed the direction of Xue'er's finger, and his eyes fell on Manager Yang again, so the scene of Manager Yang drinking low to Xue'er fell into the old man's eyes again.
Manager Yang's heart froze, and he hurriedly turned his head to face the old man, and then quickly bowed.
The old man retracted his gaze and looked at Xue'er again, obviously curious about this bold girl: "Why should I let you get up?" ”
Xue'er frowned exaggeratedly: "Because it hurts to kneel in your knees!" ”
"Have you never knelt?" The old man asked again, the curiosity in his eyes became more obvious, and there was even a faint excitement, "Or no one dares to let you kneel?" ”
Xue'er thought for a while, and nodded really: "No." ”
It's just that her "no" is the answer to the old man's previous question, and in the old man's opinion, these two questions are clearly the same question.
After all, only a person who no one dares to kneel may never have kneeled.
This answer made the old man's brows furrow again, and his gaze at Qiuru Qiuping instantly became three points more dissatisfied and fierce!
