Chapter Seventy-Six: A Covenant Under the Moon
The next day, Cao Jing's house.
"I heard Xiaocui say that you sneaked out last night at some point, but is there such a thing?" Cao Jing asked.
Cao Cheng is not good at lying, and stammered: "I..."
"Where did you go?" Cao Jing asked again.
Cao Cheng didn't want to lie, and she couldn't betray Su Yi, so she replied, "I... I can't say..."
Cao Jing didn't blame him, but just said earnestly: "You're also grown up, and your brother will no longer interfere in your private affairs." But one of your daughters went out late at night for no reason, and it was not good to be known, and it made everyone worry about you. This time, I won't tell my parents, lest they worry about it. I'll punish you for grounding, and don't go out if there's nothing to do. ”
Cao Cheng knew that she was wrong, and couldn't help but shed tears again, but if she did it again, she would still choose to see Yan Qibai. At this time, Cao Jing didn't scold her, which made her feel sad and ashamed of her brother.
When he came out of Cao Jing's room, he saw the maid Xiaocui coming up and said, "Miss, will you blame me for complaining to the young master... You suddenly disappeared yesterday, and I was worried for a while. Miss, don't scare me like that next time. This time, Xiaocui was really scared, but fortunately, Cao Cheng returned safely in the end, otherwise she would have been unlucky.
Cao Cheng smiled with tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry Xiaocui, it's me who is not good and makes you worried." ”
Xiao Cui was relieved when she heard this, and said with a smile: "I knew that Miss was good to me." ”
That night, Su Yi was planning to talk to Yan Qibai again. When passing through Cao's house, he hesitated for a while, but still came to Cao Yuan's room. I saw her in front of the window, with her hands on her cheeks, staring at the night sky.
"Miss Cao opened the window so wide, isn't she afraid of catching a cold?" Su Yi said with a smile.
"Brother Su Yi!" Cao Yi said happily, and hurriedly opened the door to invite Su Yi into the house.
"I'm about to go see Dr. Yan again, do you want to go with me. Su Yi asked.
Cao Yi was overjoyed and was about to agree, but suddenly remembered that he was being grounded, so he said disappointedly: "Brother Su Yi... I can't go with you tonight..."
Su Yi saw that her expression was gloomy, and he didn't know why, so he asked, "What happened?"
Cao Cheng sat down again and pouted: "I sneaked out last night and was discovered by the eldest brother, and I am now grounded..."
Su Yi said dumbly: "Why don't you tell Brother Cao that I took you there?"
Cao Cheng suddenly said righteously: "No! Chen'er is very righteous and will not betray Su Yi's brother." ”
Su Yi saw a resolute expression on her slightly immature face, and her serious appearance was cute, and she also smiled and said, "Fool, where can you not sell anything, I'm helping your eldest brother." Besides, didn't you come back safely in the end? ”
Cao Cheng still insisted on shaking her head and said, "If the eldest brother knows, he will definitely not let Chang'er meet with Su Yi's brother again..."
Su Yi didn't want to say anything more, so he stopped worrying and said, "Since you can't go out, then I'll take you to go up there to relax." ”
"Above?" Cao Cheng wondered.
"Follow me," Su Yi said, "You wear more clothes, it's cold outside." ”
Cao Cheng wrapped herself up and followed him outside the house. Su Yi put his arm around her, jumped lightly, and led her to the roof.
Cao Cheng exclaimed in surprise and turned to look at the night sky around her, as if she wanted to take in the starry sky.
"I didn't expect such a view to be on top of the house where I live every day, like two worlds. Cao Cheng exclaimed, until she felt a little dizzy, then she stopped and sat down next to Su Yi. She didn't feel a trace of cold beside Su Yi, and there was even a cool feeling of comfort on her face blown by the harsh winter wind.
The two leaned together and chatted casually.
"Look at that one," Su Yi said, pointing to a bright star in the sky, "it's called the Ling Ling Star, which belongs to the Fairy Residence in the crape myrtle wall, and is the most beautiful star." ”
Cao Mingqi said: "Really? It's the same word as Ming'er's name?"
Su Yi smiled: "Fake, lie to you." ”
Cao Yi giggled, and it took a long time before she said, "Brother Su Yi is so well-informed, he must have been to a lot of places, right?"
Su Yi made a rough calculation in his heart, and said: "Large and small cities and mountains, stop and go, there are thousands of mountains and hundreds of cities, dozens of states, across six or seven roads." ”
Cao Cheng said enviously: "I really wish that one day I could go outside for a walk..."
Su Yi smiled: "Why not, when you want to travel, just tell me, I can take you to travel all over the mountains and rivers and taste all the delicious food in the world." ”
"Really? Brother Su Yi, don't lie to you anymore. Cao Cheng smiled on her face, but her mood became depressed. Just because she knows that she is in the Cao family, her parents' fate is greater than the sky, but it is impossible for her to go out and show her face as a woman, let alone walk the world. And Su Yi is not a thing in the pool, he will never be willing to be a couple, let alone stay in Beiyi City for a long time. Then it is likely that she will never see Su Yi again from one day onwards. Thinking of this, Cao Cheng felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, I can swear to the moon. Su Yi blurted out, but he was unaware of Cao Ming's strange emotions.
Cao Cheng shook her head, trying to stop thinking about the unknowable.
"Okay, then Brother Su Yi is not allowed to play tricks at that time. Cao Cheng said and stretched out her little hand to hook Su Yi.
"I don't lie to you. Su Yi smiled.
Suddenly, Cao Cheng seemed to remember something, and said: "By the way, eldest brother said that Han Fei is a member of the Diyuan Sect, does Brother Su Yi know what this Diyuan Sect is?"
Su Yi frowned, tried to search in his mind, but still found nothing, so he could only shake his head and say, "I've never heard of it." ”
Cao Cheng was disappointed, thinking that this information could help Su Yi a little.
Su Yi saw that she was lost, so he comforted: "Miss Cao, don't be discouraged, although we don't know which sect and sect the Diyuan Sect is, but Doctor Yan must know that this information will be useful to him." ”
"Yes, Dr. Yan must know. Cao Cheng's mood improved slightly, and she said: "Brother Su Yi, you have always called Miss Cao like this, but you have seen something out of sight." ”
"Really?" Su Yi smiled and quipped, "What should it be called... I'll call you a child?"
Unexpectedly, Cao Cheng suddenly blushed and said softly: "Brother Su Yi thinks it's okay..."
Su Yi saw that her daughter's posture was charming, and she couldn't help but reverie, so she hurriedly coughed and said, "You come to lie down and look at this starry sky, it will be more spectacular." As he spoke, he patted his thigh and motioned for Cao Cheng to put her head on it.
Cao Cheng lay down and looked at the sky. It felt like she was floating in a sea of stars, the endless night sky slowly swallowing her, and soon she couldn't open her eyelids and fell into a deep sleep.
Su Yi had no choice but to send her back to the room lightly, and then left Cao's Mansion and walked towards Xinyue Mountain.
As soon as Su Yi entered the cave, he saw Yan Qibai holding a flower deer, and said with words in his mouth: "It's okay... It's okay... Don't be afraid... What do you say? Oh... Yes, yes... I know... Don't worry, I'm here..."
"Can the seniors understand the language of beasts?" Su Yi said curiously, "What is it talking about?"
When Yan Qibai saw Su Yi coming, he hurriedly let the flower deer go, and said angrily: "How do I know what it's talking about." As he spoke, he diverted the topic and said, "But Xiaoyou, why don't you walk without a sound?
"Didn't the seniors have insight into the wind and grass of Crescent Mountain? Maybe you're having too much fun. Su Yi still didn't give up and asked, "Then what are you muttering just now?"
"Less nonsense..."Yan Qibai said annoyedly, "I don't know what it's talking about, I just know that it's at ease now." ”
Su Yi sat down beside him, took out some more wine and food, and said with interest: "Oh, how did the seniors know?"
"Good boy, I actually brought wine..."Yan Qibai was not polite, picked up the wine jar and drank it, and said: "That thief has killed a lot of living beings during this time, making Xinyue Mountain unpeaceful. The old man's skills are gradually recovering, and he will be back in the rivers and lakes in a few days, so he will naturally feel at ease. ”
Su Yi said disappointedly: "It turns out that the predecessors relied on guessing..."
Yan Qibai glared at him, ignored him anymore, and ate the meat by himself.
"This is delicious, eat this..."Su Yi was slightly embarrassed, so he coughed, handed him an elbow, and changed the topic: "What are the chances of winning against Han Fei?"
Yan Qibai's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said: "That guy's magic skills are extremely weird, and he has to rely on drinking blood to increase his strength on weekdays. In the past five years, no one has been in charge of the Crescent Moon Mountain, and they regard the creatures here as something in their pockets, and their skills must have increased greatly. Five years ago, he succeeded by sneak attack, and this time the old man was prepared, but his injuries did not heal. Chance... Only fifty percent. ”
"Then if you add juniors, the odds will be greater, right?"
Yan Qibai didn't underestimate Su Yi, and he didn't reject him because he was a junior, but said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about it... There are also two percent. ”
"That adds up to seven, and you can fight. Su Yi said, "By the way, I also heard that Han Fei is a member of the Diyuan Sect, have you ever heard of it?"
"Jiyuan Sect... Your news is just in time..."
