The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

Shen Tanqing walked beside her, and the two of them walked down the bluestone steps in the mountain. He said, "By the way, I haven't told you the information we found recently."

"During this period, I, the head brother, and Elder Han Jian of Hongwu Sect have visited Qingxiao Sect many times, and we all agree that—"

"The evil ghost that caused the destruction of Qingxiao Sect was at least Ghost King level, and most likely Ghost Emperor level. The other party's purpose is not clear yet. Tianze Sect has already contacted the Taoist sects and will build a teleportation array for each other to avoid repeating the same mistake."

"I drew the appearance of the evil ghost you described. It is the picture I showed you before. The drawing has been spread to various bases, but no trace of it has been found yet."

"The higher-ups are planning to send someone to investigate, but I will keep my troops on standby. If the other party is interested in the magical instruments guarded by other sects, they will fall into their trap sooner or later."

Chu Bainiu nodded, she stopped and looked at the jade-faced Taoist priest in front of her who had an extraordinary demeanor as clear as the breeze and bright as the moon.

"Oh, Junior Master, I plan to go down the mountain to gain some experience."

"Hmm?" Shen Tanqing stood on the step next to Chu Bainiao. He only needed to lower his eyes slightly to see the look in the other's eyes clearly.

When Shen Tanqing heard her say that she wanted to go down the mountain for training, she subconsciously wanted to refuse. But when the words came to her lips, she changed her mind and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go down the mountain for training?"

Chu Bai Niao had already thought of an excuse, "Staying in the mountains all the time is not good for my swordsmanship. Only by going down the mountain and fighting with the evil spirits all the time can I improve."

"Besides, Junior Master, the people are suffering, and it is our responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the way, isn't it?"

Shen Tanqing lowered his eyebrows. No matter who said this to him, he would agree without hesitation and give praise.

But the other party is Chu Bainiao...

To be honest, he didn't want Chu Bainiao to go down the mountain.

But why?

A layer of haze quietly covered the young Taoist priest's heart, which was as pure and flawless as jade.

He can't leave...

He has a lot to do...

Shen Tanqing raised his eyes and pretended to be indifferent: "It is our responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the way. If you go down the mountain... you need to ask the head brother."

Chu Bai Niao nodded and said, "I will go to see the head master tomorrow."

After they parted, Shen Tanqing suppressed his unhappiness and went to the Alchemy Pavilion, where he found Elder Qingshan who was instructing his disciples in processing medicinal materials in the courtyard.

Qingshan stroked his beard and smiled kindly, "What brings you here?"

Shen Tanqing said gloomily: "Let's go in and talk."

The two walked into the inner room together, and after sitting down face to face, Shen Tanqing put his wrist on the table and said in front of Qingshan's puzzled eyes: "I think I am sick, can you help me see what is wrong with me?"

Qingshan was speechless. How could people from the Taoist sect have any diseases?

I think he is very strong.

Qingshan felt Shen Tanqing's pulse and said, "Tanqing, you are in good health."

Shen Tanqing frowned and retorted: "Elder Qingshan, but I feel very uncomfortable right now. Can you take a look at me to see if the evil spirit has entered my body?"

"Do you feel uncomfortable? Is it painful or something?" Qingshan asked seriously.

Shen Tanqing narrowed her eyes, a little confused, "I feel depressed and a little breathless, and I feel uncomfortable whenever I think of her."

Qingshan realized what was going on in an instant. When Shen Tanqing first took the Qingxiao Sect's disciple to meet the sect leader, he already had a good impression of the other person.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to say anything that would make me look at her and care about her involuntarily.

At that time, he and the headmaster were restricted by age and seniority, and the fact that the woman must be very sad, they felt it was inappropriate and did not say anything.

But now it seems that Shen Tanqing has fallen deeply in love but has not yet realized that he likes her.

It makes sense. He was accepted as a disciple by the head of the sect since he was young, and his seniority jumped to the top. He was very talented when he was young and never played with people of his age. When he grew up, he ran around for missions, so it was normal that he didn't understand love.

Qingshan asked tentatively: "What's wrong with her?"

"She wants to go down the mountain to gain experience. I don't want her to go down the mountain to gain experience," Shen Tanqing said, "but it's a good thing for her to go down the mountain. She can save many people."

"Elder Qingshan, I am a little conflicted. Some wrong thoughts keep popping up in my mind recently."

"Am I sick or am I just in love with her? Some things are obviously right, but I don't want them to happen. Some things are obviously wrong, but I can't help doing them. Am I possessed by evil spirits?"

Although Shen Tanqing didn't understand love, he had seen pigs run even though he had never eaten pork.

He had some guesses in his mind, but would love make people have those thoughts?

He didn't even dare to tell Qingshan the truth.

In fact, he not only didn't want her to go down the mountain, if possible, he wanted her to stay by his side all the time.

Even if the other person is not by his side, he still wants to look at the other person, just like controlling the little paper figure to peek.

Anyway, I just want to be with her.

But this was wrong. Shen Tanqing even suspected that she was a demon and that he had been bewitched. But now, he had to admit that all his thoughts were his own.

It could be suppressed at the beginning, but it can't be suppressed now.

Do these wrong thoughts arise because of liking someone?

What is a wrong idea? Elder Qingshan stroked his white beard, and a big question mark flashed through his mind.

"You are not sick and there is no evil spirit in your body, Tan Qing. Humans are a very complex contradiction."

"You like her, so you will have some negative emotions, such as being jealous when you see her talking to other men."

"I prefer you two to be alone together rather than being out here together."

"This is all very normal. You need to judge the specific situation yourself. However, love is not a one-person thing. Tan Qing, have you communicated with the other party?"

Shen Tanqing shook his head, his mood becoming even more depressed, "I don't think she has any romantic feelings for me."

Something went wrong. Qingshan was embarrassed. "Then you need to work harder on your part."

"When necessary, you can also communicate more with the younger disciples. After all, I am getting older. What we liked back then may not be liked by young girls now."

Shen Tanqing raised his eyes, "I understand."

In short, he was neither sick nor had any evil spirit entered his body.

Those dark and wrong thoughts were his own deepest thoughts.

At night, he no longer controlled the little paper man to peek, but lay on the opponent's courtyard wall himself.

Looking at the warm light in the window, he couldn't help but wonder what the other person was doing now?

"Junior Brother Chu?"

Shen Tanqing climbed down from the courtyard wall, patted his sleeves, and knocked on the gate gracefully.

"Come in." A cold voice came from afar.

Shen Tanqing put his hands on the wooden door of the courtyard and gently pushed it open.
