Chapter 9 Like twins, but not Shu Nong
Jing Hong sat up straight, and his gaze cautiously met Shu Nong's gaze again.
But there was nothing familiar with him in those familiar eyes, and she looked at him like an ignorant little beast just coming out of the mountains and forests, casting puzzled and curious glances at passers-by.
Even Liu Xubai, who was distracted next to him, failed to get her attention.
Jing Hong stabilized his expression, got up and walked in front of Yan Chang'an, getting closer, his breathing also lightened, but Shu Nong's eyes were always clean and clear, and there was only strangeness in his eyes looking at him.
Not Shu Nong.
"This is Miss Su." He stopped three paces away from her and leaned down, "Thank you girl for saving my life, great kindness, ask the people of the palace to be unforgettable, if the girl needs anything in the future, just ask." β
Shu Nong turned sideways to avoid his salute, and his smile was rare with a little shyness: "Xianjun is too famous, but it's just a gesture." β
Jing Hong had a friendly attitude and invited her to sit down, Shu Nong seemed to let go of a little because of this, and whispered to sit down next to Yan Chang'an, when Yan Chang'an looked at him as a master for help, the girl also pulled the corners of his sleeves and whispered coquettishly.
Jing Hong didn't see it, he never restrained his disciples, so he didn't care about Shu Nong's small movements, she was raised in the mountains, ignorant and naΓ―ve.
It's just that he subconsciously looked at Liu Xubai, who was staring at the girl in a daze, and pulled the corners of his mouth when he saw the excitement.
He can see Shu Nong's affairs, people are really dead at the beginning, if she encounters any chance after death and can come back from the dead, then he is happy about it, but she was even burned by real fire at the beginning, and her soul can't be summoned, so he naturally has no hope that Shu Nong can come back.
Su didn't hesitate to have this face that was the same as Shu Nong, he had seen it, he was shocked, and it was just that, but Liu Xubai was different, who didn't know that he and the kid of the Song family, one was as deep as the sea, not to mention the spirit every year, and found a stand-in, and the other had been infatuated for many years, after Shu Nong passed away, he still mourned for others to this day.
Now a person who was almost exactly the same as Shu Nong was standing in front of him, and Jing Hong was curious about what Liu Xubai was thinking at this moment.
The disciple who served the tea showed half of his head from behind the screen, his eyes opened left and right, and when he saw that Shu Nong had already sat down, he tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth that were excited because he had seen the terrible gossip, and went out expressionlessly to pour tea for both her and Yan Changan.
Shu Nong was not polite, she took the tea from the little disciple's hand and took a sip, the tea tasted light, even if she took two more sips, she still didn't taste anything, and she couldn't taste it.
Liu Xubai involuntarily clenched her fists when she picked up the teacup, and he watched the tea in the cup enter Shu Nong's throat, she smacked her lips slightly, as if she was savoring, and she was not half uncomfortable with the taste of the tea.
Liu Xubai's clenched fist loosened as if deflated, and his gaze fell on Shu Nong's face again as if he had lost his mind.
Not Shu Nong.
Liu Xubai thought.
The tea prepared by the Wensheng Hall is fragrant and bitter, and then sweet, which is the preference of most disciples of the Cangyuan Sword Sect, and the disciples who are responsible for going down the mountain to buy will buy more of this tea called "Mingxin" every time, and when they bring it back to the mountain, they will always be snatched up by those disciples who are too lazy to go down the mountain.
But Shu Nong doesn't like this kind of tea, since he knew her back then, she didn't like bitter food, every time she made tea, she would either make sweet tea prepared by others, or add a lot of sweet things to it. Occasionally, when I taste bitterness, I will subconsciously frown and express my displeasure.
Su did not hesitate to accept Mingxin Tea well, and there was nothing in his eyes that he wanted to see except curiosity and joy.
Liu Xubai couldn't say whether he was disappointed or what, and when he was about to take his eyes off Shu Nong's face, he suddenly saw the other party holding a teacup, lowering his head, the tip of his nose twitching, as if he was sniffing the taste of tea.
Liu Xubai's gaze stopped suddenly.
Shunong also has this habit.
He was in the palace of asking for life, sitting on both sides of Shu Nong, looking at her from afar, even if he was only sure that this person was not Shu Nong, Liu Xubai still inevitably ushered in a trance.
It was as if he had spanned the long six hundred years, and while Shu Nong was still there, he watched her look down and sniff the food.
At that time, it was a common thing, but now that I look at it again, it has become an extravagant hope.
Liu Xubai was shaken, his heartbeat inevitably accelerated for a moment, and all kinds of ideas couldn't stop popping up one by one.
What if?
He thought, Su did not hesitate to come from Wutong Mountain, where the blue light was hidden, and he had the appearance of almost Shu Nong's twin sisters, what if it was really Shu Nong who came back? What if, it was Heaven who took pity on him and sent back a Shu Nong who had forgotten the past?
Liu Xubai's gaze was so white and hot that it was hard for Shu Nong to ignore it, and when he raised his eyes, he met his gaze.
Liu Xubai's gaze shrank for a moment, and it was not until he saw the curiosity in the other party's eyes that he barely controlled his emotions, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly, revealing a gentle smile: "My surname is Liu, and my name is Xubai." β
Jing Hong and Yan Chang'an's eyes looked at each other.
Elder Liu became famous as a young man, and after he became famous in the First World War, he sat firmly in the position of the first person in Xianmen, and only others rushed to introduce himself to him, when did he ever take the initiative to come up?
Jing Hong tugged at the corners of his mouth and sneered, he had always looked down on Liu Xubai's move to find a stand-in, which not only disgusted the dead Shu Nong, but also harmed the girl named Mingyue.
Now that something more alike, no, it looked exactly the same, he rushed up, for fear that the others in the temple would not know what he was thinking.
Perhaps because of Liu Xubai's kind attitude, Shu Nong seemed to accept it well, and bent his eyebrows towards Liu Xubai: "My name is Su Buhe, Su is the Su of Gusu, don't hesitate - it's Hulu who won't hesitate." β
Liu Xubai opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Jing Hong saw the opportunity and spoke in time to stop him: "I heard that Miss Su has been on Wutong Mountain before?" β
"Yes." Shu Nong put down the teacup and nodded, revealing a little shyness, "I used to live on Wutong Mountain with Shizun, but after Shizun died a few years ago, I was the only one left, he said that Wutong Mountain hid a fairy sword, and there were many people who came to find the sword, so I didn't go down the mountain easily, although the dense fog and demon beasts on the mountain were dangerous, but the people under the mountain couldn't come up, but it also created a safe environment for me." β
She paused for a moment, she should have felt that she had said a little too much, but seeing that several people in the hall did not make a sound, as if they were waiting for her next sentence, she glanced at Yan Chang'an beside her, and continued with a smile: "But Yan Chang'an happened to fall in front of my house, my master said before his death, most of the people in the Xianmen pay attention to a sense of gratitude, I wanted to go down the mountain a long time ago, and now the opportunity is in front of me, so Yan Chang'an took me away." β
