Chapter 34: Obsession
Maybe it was because he was tired and relaxed his vigilance, or maybe it was because he had already believed in Qin Zhen during the time he spent with Qin Hao, Yin Huan thought like this, and said unconsciously: "Zhen Zhen, if only you were from a big family, you don't have to work as hard as you do now." β
In the dark, Yin Huan curled up on the bed, facing Qin Hao sideways, one hand pillowed under his head, and the other hand rubbed unconsciously on Qin Hao's arm.
Qin Zhen stretched out a hand and gently stroked the top of her head, and her voice was extremely gentle: "There will be very hard times in the big family, everyone will have difficult places. β
"Hmm......" Yin Huan sighed approvingly, "The big family is not good at everything, and I was just lucky to be valued by the head of the family, so I was taken from the branch to the main family." Like other children who are separated, they can only work their own. β
"Then you can get the attention of the head of the family, and it has gone through a lot of hard work, that's what you deserve." Qin Hao's hand stroked down her hair.
"No, it's not...... Yin Huan's voice lowered, as if he was a little ashamed, "At the beginning, I was valued by the head of the family, just because the wife of the head of the house liked my looks. β
"Looks?"
"Yes, the wife of the housekeeper said that I looked like one of her old friends, so I was chosen by the housemaster. I was raised by the wife of the head of the family later, and slowly showed some talents, and then I was officially valued by the family. β
Yin Huan's voice became lower and lower, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Qin Zhen didn't ask again, just withdrew the hand that caressed her and watched Yin Huan fall asleep.
And on her wrist, the faint scent of the faint smell wafted out through the cracks in the not-so-solid stone wall, and was soon blown away by the evening breeze and disappeared into the night.
Should I feel guilty for taking advantage of Yin Huan's trust? Qin Zhen looked at Yin Huan's sleeping face, a little unsure. But she finally turned over and lay on her back on the bed, as if she could see the stars shining in the night sky through the planks and straw mats above her headβ
It was like Yin Huan's eyes when he looked at her.
Yin Huan was undoubtedly the best deceitful person she had ever seen, and so easily handed over her trust to her, a person who had only been with her for more than a day. Qin Hao couldn't imagine how she survived in Zhongzhou's big family, or was the situation in Zhongzhou different from Xingzhou's? As the headquarters of the Six Dao Alliance, is it a beautiful place of harmony?
But it doesn't matter. It won't be long before she can take the opportunity of the "Battle of Geniuses" to go to Zhongzhou to see the truth. If Zhongzhou is really different from Xingzhou, then will she be able to use the power of the Zhongzhou Six Dao Alliance to solve Xingzhou's enemies?
Qin Zhen shook her head, temporarily abandoning this naΓ―ve idea. Although through the theft of the Qianyuanzong Treasure Pavilion, it could be seen that there were forces in other states that did not deal with Qianyuanzong, but in the end, she could not be sure which state that the forces came from. Now it is enough to know a little bit of information about Zhongzhou through Yin Huan.
She recalled Yin Huan's hesitant and repeated eyes when she saw Ye Yousheng for the first time. Will this look have anything to do with what she said, "The wife of the family said that I look like an old friend of hers"?
Everything is unknown.
Qin Zhen felt some swelling pain in her temples.
She had to close her eyes and stop thinking endlessly.
She explores in order to save herself and solve her doubts, but the farther she goes, the more information she gets, and the more she becomes at a loss. The world did not reject her expectations and opened its arms to her, but she did not feel redeemed at all because of that wide embrace.
She's not the most special one in the world.
In terms of talent, there are people who are higher than her, there are people who are better than her in terms of background, and there are people who are luckier than her in terms of adventures. Even compared to the suffering she had suffered, the mortals she had seen alone were already much more miserable than her.
She's just a person who is caught between everyone, and she's not having a bad life. And there is no shortage of such people in this world.
So, what can she change with her own hands?
Qin Hao smiled self-deprecatingly.
She couldn't even hold any weapons in her hands, and the only snake whip she could hold was to dance with the tip of the knife, stabbing herself to the blood before slashing at the enemy.
Therefore, she must be cautious and cautious in every step, and she can't waste time on regret and chagrin.
Anyway, she didn't intend to be a good person without stains from the beginning.
Qin Hao sat up from the bed and began to cultivate, as if this way he could divert his attention by doing something.
The bright moonlight shone unreservedly, but tonight, no one was in the mood to appreciate its radiance.
Early in the morning of the second day.
Yin Huan opened his eyes from the bed in a daze, looked at the unfamiliar room in front of him, and didn't react for a while. It wasn't until Qin Hao walked in from outside and wiped her face with a still warm wet towel that she completely came to her senses.
"Vera?" She tilted her head, "I seem to have slept so well last night...... I had a long, long dream. β
"Really? So what did you dream about? Qin Hao patiently watched as she slowly got up from the bed.
"Hmm...... I dreamed that we became best friends and stayed together every day. I also dreamed that one day I was in danger, and you went to save me, but in the end, I was the only one who escaped. Yin Huan looked at Qin Hao's eyes, "This dream is not good at all, I don't like such dreams." β
"Aren't I standing in front of you now?" Qin Hao smiled and straightened her neckline.
In the end, it was just a dream, Yin Huan didn't keep dwelling on it, and soon happily followed Qin Zhen out of the room again.
In the courtyard, Wenwen's father was about to go out to help other villagers repair their houses, and when he saw Qin Zhen and Yin Huan coming out, he hurriedly put down the things in his hand: "The immortals are up, Wenwen and her mother are already busy in the kitchen, and I still have to go to the village to do things, so I won't accompany the two immortals." β
After speaking, seeing Qin Zhen nodded, he hurriedly went out.
There was a faint sound coming from the yard, Qin Zhen looked over and found that it was Wenwen hiding behind a tree in the yard, only looking at her with a pair of red eyes from crying, and she didn't run over as enthusiastically as she did yesterday.
Qin Zhen knew very well that this was because she was reprimanded for wanting to cultivate immortals last night, but unless she forced Wenwen's parents to agree, Wenwen's parents would not change their minds voluntarily.
She walked over, squatted down in front of Wenwen, and rubbed her head: "Wenwen, my sister is leaving now, do you want to leave with my sister?" β
Wenwen's eyes were hot, she bit her lip, glanced at her left side unnaturally, and quickly retracted her gaze, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at Qin Zhen: "I...... I'm sorry good sister, I don't want to cultivate immortals. β
As he spoke, tears were about to fall.
Qin Hao gently wiped away the tears that had not yet fallen from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "It's okay, no matter what choice you make, it's the right one." If you don't cultivate immortals, you can also live without cultivating immortals, as long as you work hard, you can live well. β
"Hmm......" Wenwen cried so much that Qin Zhen didn't know if she had listened to her words.
She stood up and said goodbye to Wenwen: "Okay, I'm leaving now, help me say goodbye to your mother, thank you for letting us stay overnight yesterday." β
Qin Zhen took out a book from her bosom and put it on the stone table in the courtyard: "This is my thank you gift." Although it is not an immortal cultivation method, if you take a look at it, it will also help you to prolong your life. β
After speaking, she left the small courtyard with Yin Huan.
The direction Wenwen looked in just now was the kitchen, through the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, Wenwen Niang was nervously listening to their conversation just now, until she heard Wenwen herself say that she didn't want to go to immortal cultivation, she was relieved, but then she became worried because of the book Qin Zhen put down.
When Qin Zhen and the others came out of the courtyard, she immediately came out of the room, snatched the book away and tore it to shreds before Wenwen's hand was about to touch it.
"Wenwen, don't touch the things these monks give! Mother has told you many times! She screamed at the top of her lungs.
Wenwen stood in place, her hand still holding the book, and watched in a daze as the fragments of the book flew down from the top of her head like snowflakes. One of them swirled and fell against her cheek before falling to the ground.
Wenwen reached out to touch her face in a daze, the place where the book had been wiped was amazingly hot, burning the tears in her eyes unconsciously dried up, and the thoughts that were not very persistent were burned more and more hard by the unknown fire in her heart, like a soldering iron deeply burned on every inch of skin, through the skin and bones, engraved in the flesh and blood.
I want to ......
She touched her face as if fascinated, her pupils slowly blurring in focus.
"Zhenzhen, wouldn't it be good for us to say goodbye to our elders and leave?" Yin Huan was a little awkward.
"It's also embarrassing for her to let her see us, it's better to leave directly." Qin Zhen said. Moreover, she has also seen it from the kitchen.
It's still early, but many villagers are already busy and continue to rebuild the village according to yesterday's division of labor.
On the other side of the road, Ye Yousheng and Heng Mingzhi stood there, talking to Kong Dean and Kong Mingshan. Seeing them coming, Ye Yousheng waved his hand happily: "Senior sister! Then he said hello to Yin Huan.
Yin Huan returned the salute, but she didn't know Heng Mingzhi at all, so the two just nodded to each other and said hello.
Kong Mingshan looked at Qin Hao curiously.
He had already heard Brother Heng say that if he wanted to go back to cultivate immortals with them, he needed this female monk named Qin Hao to nod and agree, she was the real leader of the sect. And although Brother Heng grew up with them since childhood, he didn't really join their sect, so he couldn't teach him the exercises.
