The Tao is far away

Qingluan was furious when she saw Wang Chi grilling fish with a female cultivator with a playful look on his face.

After the selection of disciples from various peaks ended, Qingluan did not see Wang Chi. She also heard from other elders that a disciple from Huangsha Peak had both hands crippled, and she could not help but worry about Wang Chi.

If anything happens to him, how should he explain to His Highness Xiao?

After searching for a long time, they found that the person was at Qingzhu Peak.

When Qingluan saw Xu Qianyu bowing to her, she just nodded slightly and a hint of surprise flashed through her mind. Is this girl also a Yuanling body?

Qingluan saw the grilled fish in Xu Qianyu's hand again, feeling a little unhappy, and snatched the grilled fish from Wang Chi's hand.

"Master, don't!" Wang Chi hurriedly stopped Qingluan. This was an extra spicy version. If Qingluan got hurt by the spiciness, he would be in trouble.

Qingluan was already unhappy that Wang Chi did not first show respect to her as his master, so she gave Wang Chi a slap on the head, causing him to cover his head in pain.

Wang Chi was speechless. What was wrong with this woman? She seduced me before, and now she beat me up. I grilled two fish for you.

Qingluan smiled with satisfaction, sat down casually on the grass, and motioned Xu Qianyu to sit down.

When Xu Qianyu saw Qingluan like this, she just felt that although this woman was a Jindan cultivator, she was able to get along well with her disciples and did not put on airs. She was much better than Tianqin.

Qingluan took a bite of the fish without caring about her image. Her face instantly turned red and she felt a fire burning in her mouth. "What did you put in there? Are you trying to murder my teacher?"

Wang Chi curled his lips helplessly: "I told you to stop."

"What did you say?" Qingluan gave Wang Chi another slap on the face.

Wang Chi: “…”

Qingluan was sweating profusely at this moment, and was trembling with pain from the spiciness. In order to maintain the last bit of her image, she immediately turned into a streak of green light and returned to her bamboo house.

"You're a very interesting master. You're not arrogant and you can get along well with your disciples," Xu Qianyu said with a hint of envy.

Wang Chi still covered his head: "What's interesting? It's to beat up the disciples, right? Do you know how much damage a Jindan cultivator's slap can do to a Qi-refining cultivator?"

Wang Chi covered his head and felt the pain for a long time. He thought for a while and said, "Qianyu, I'll go see her first. If you are tired, you can rest inside for a while." Then he pointed to the bamboo house behind.

Wang Chi picked up another fish, pointed at another one and said with a smile: "There are more here, if they are delicious, eat more."

Then he ran towards the Qingluan Bamboo House.

Xu Qianyu lowered her head and nodded slightly, her face flushed. This was the first time someone called her Qianyu, except for her four brothers.

Moreover, it sounds so natural.

Wang Chi hurriedly ran to the Qingluan Bamboo House, opened the bamboo door wide, and walked straight in. It was a little dark inside, but there were some nameless flowers emitting bursts of light.

There is a peach tree in the center of the bamboo house with beautiful flowers. The water from the waterfall is connected to a pond inside the house, and the lotus-like plants emit a faint orchid-like light.

This house is beautiful, as beautiful as Qingluan.

Wang Chi complained, "Won't you get rheumatism if you live here?"

"Master, are you okay?" Wang Chi couldn't see and called softly.

Qingluan walked out from behind a screen behind the peach tree, her lips slightly swollen, and stared at Wang Chi.

Wang Chi was sweating profusely at the look and explained, "Master, this one is for you, and that one is for me to eat..."

After Wang Chi explained, Qingluan's anger finally subsided: "If it weren't for the discomfort in my mouth, I would have thought you put an aphrodisiac in it."

"How can it be!"

"That's better. Go ahead. Don't forget to go to the valley tomorrow afternoon for the apprenticeship ceremony."

Wang Chi walked out of the house with empty hands and came to his bamboo house.

The bonfire had gone out, and Xu Qianyu was probably in the house, so it would be difficult for Wang Chi to go in.

Wang Chi was as light as a swallow and he climbed onto the roof with a light jump.

He lay on the roof, looking up at the starry sky, his thoughts drifting away like catkins.

"I haven't seen such a beautiful starry sky for many years."

Wang Chi recalled that when he was a child, he used to lie on the roof and count the stars in the sky. His grandparents would also happily point at the stars and tell their own stories.

At that time, there was no light pollution and the starry sky was particularly bright.

Time flies, and now I am no longer alive. Wang Chi sighed softly, feeling infinitely melancholy.

At night, people's hearts are often most vulnerable.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" A soft female voice came.

Wang Chizhao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned around and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"

Xu Qianyu saw the tears flashing in Wang Chi's eyes. She sat silently beside Wang Chi, lay down and put her arms behind her head.

"I couldn't sleep. I heard a noise on the roof and thought it was a mouse."

"You are the rat." Wang Chi responded softly.

Xu Qianyu smiled slightly, said nothing, and looked at the starry sky like Wang Chi.

At this moment, everything is quiet.

"What... is wrong with you?" Xu Qianyu asked softly.

"It's nothing. I'm just looking at the starry sky and thinking of people." Wang Chi responded slowly.

Xu Qianyu's heart tightened, and seeing the object reminded her of... someone?

Everything was silent, and two figures were lying on the roof.

"Is she... okay?" Xu Qianyu pondered for a long time.

Wang Chi didn't reply. Xu Qianyu turned around and saw that Wang Chi was breathing evenly and had fallen asleep.

He leaned sideways, and the hot air he exhaled hit Xu Qianyu's face, making her heart beat wildly.

Xu Qianyu blushed, and turned sideways, resting her head on her right arm, carefully looking at Wang Chi's sleeping face, with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

"Mom, Dad, Grandma, are you okay?" Wang Chi whispered softly.

Wang Chi was talking in his sleep, and a line of hot tears dripped onto the roof.

Xu Qianyu bit her lips lightly. It turned out that this usually carefree person was so fragile.

Xu Qianyu thought of herself. She seemed to have never seen her relatives. She had been trained since she could remember, and then walked in the dark to kill people.

Stretching out her left hand, Xu Qianyu gently wiped away Wang Chi's tears.

Xu Qianyu didn't know what kind of feelings she had towards Wang Chi, from hatred at the beginning, to gratitude, and now...

Love?

But what do I love about him?

"Yan'er" Wang Chi murmured again.

Xu Qianyu's delicate body trembled, her expression froze, and her fingers seemed to be frozen in the air, not moving for a long time.

Yes, with my past identity and the unbearable past, how could I expect to be loved? Even if I was loved, I...

Xu Qianyu secretly mocked herself in her heart. She lay flat on the roof, as lonely as an autumn leaf. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and like a candle in the wind, a line of clear tears quietly slid down her face.

Xu Qianyu wanted to escape immediately, but the love in her heart was like a rein, binding her tightly and making it difficult for her to leave.

Xu Qianyu felt exhausted. Years of fighting had closed her heart, and her tired body seemed unable to bear any more.

A desirable harbor, but it does not belong to you.

Xu Qianyu stared at Wang Chi sideways, then slowly closed her eyes, as if isolating herself from the world.

Let's just rest for a while in this harbor that belongs to others.

At night, two sleeping figures gradually embraced each other, and the moonlight covered them like a quilt.

The night is quiet.

The heart is also quiet.
