Collapse of Iron: The Immortal Boat Life of the Envoy of the Order of Fertility

The four of them were happily eating the dishes that Jiao Qiu had specially prepared for each of them, and they had not expected Fu Xuan's arrival at all.

The four of them put down their chopsticks and turned their heads in unison towards Fu Xuan. Seeing Fu Xuan's embarrassment, Lu Qing took the initiative to speak up for him: "Fu Xuan? Have you had dinner yet? If not, why don't you come have a meal together? Mr. Jiao Qiu's cooking skills are quite good."

Fu Xuan had never thought that she would see such a scene after breaking into Lu Qing's cave. She had no idea what to say. After hearing Lu Qing's proposal, she could only pretend to be cool and suppress the embarrassment in her heart. After regaining her composure, she refused.

"No, I'm not hungry. Sorry to bother you. I came here to confirm Qingque's safety. Since Qingque is fine, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, Fu Taibu turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Ranqing, who forcefully pulled Fu Xuan to the table to eat. Fu Xuan couldn't resist Ranqing and agreed.

After Fu Xuan came to the table, Jiao Qiu obviously noticed that the atmosphere was not right. The originally happy atmosphere suddenly became tense. It felt like he had entered a Shura field. He immediately stood up and left to fulfill his duty as a cook.

Single foxes can't stand seeing this, and don't want to see it either. Out of sight, out of mind.

Qingque and Yunli were originally chatting happily, but after Fu Xuan appeared, Qingque shut up and dared not speak, as if her blood was suppressing her. She was always a little restrained in front of Lord Taibu.

Yun Li was silent because the old thieving cat appeared and was considering how to defeat Fu Xuan the cat.

Lu Qing was eating. He didn't want to say anything. He forced Fu Xuan to stay because he acted impulsively. He didn't consider the consequences at all. It was just his intuition at that time that told him to keep Fu Xuan. That was all.

At this moment, his intuition told him that this was not the place for him to stay. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Mr. Jiao Qiu is too busy. I'll go and help."

After Lu Qing left, the already cold atmosphere became even more tense.

After a long stalemate, the three of them still didn't speak. Finally, after Yan Qing came over and quietly took Yun Li away, Fu Xuan and Qing Que began to communicate.

Yunli was still a little dissatisfied with being held by Luqing. Luqing wanted to use the Qiongshi Bird Skewer to block Yunli's mouth, but what Luqing didn't expect was that Yunli didn't buy into the Qiongshi Bird Skewer that was always successful. Little Yunli asked Luqing in an unusually cold tone: "If you can only choose one of these two, who would you choose?"

"Choose you." Yun Li did not specify which two the two were. Don't be fooled and don't have preconceived ideas.

"Where are Qingque and Fu Xuan?"

"..." Lu Qing was sweating profusely and did not answer.

Yun Li suppressed her emotions. This big pig's hoof really wanted to start a harem.

"Or let me ask you another question. Qingqing, if Fu Xuan confessed his love to you, would you agree?"

"I can."

"Can I give you a beating?"

At this point, Yun Li could only swallow her dissatisfaction and forcefully hold back her tears. She came up with a way to vent her inner dissatisfaction.

Sometimes, when you love someone deeply, you will feel a little humble, and Yun Li is like this.

Even if you prepare in advance, you will not be able to face it calmly when it happens.

The anger that cannot be fought alone can only be vented with fists.

"can."

……

"Master Taibu, you're here? Please listen to my explanation. I've been staying here for the past few days purely for my own safety. You may not know that I was kidnapped a few days ago and was rescued by Lanqing..."

"I know this. I naturally care about my subordinates when they are in trouble. But I'm curious why you're staying here in Luqing for several days."

There was something hidden in Fu Xuan's words, and his tone was slightly cold. In Fu Xuan's opinion, there were many places that could provide Qingque with safety after the kidnapping.

If Qingque had no reason, there was no need for her to stay in Luqing so stubbornly. If she asked him for asylum, Fu Xuan would naturally protect Qingque to the end.

To be fair, if Qingque and Luqing were just casual acquaintances, Qingque, as a girl, would not have stayed in Luqing's private cave for the sake of her own reputation or for some other considerations.

Although this cave belonged to the Taibushi, after the ownership was transferred to Luqing, it became Luqing's private territory. Even she, the Taibushi, could not enter directly without permission.

Fu Xuan was able to enter and exit directly only because Yan Qing gave him the authority.

Qingque was speechless for a moment. Fu Xuan's question made her not know how to answer. She also knew how wrong her behavior seemed to others, not to mention that Qingque knew that Fu Xuan liked Luanqing.

It’s just…it’s just that she couldn’t explain why. She just felt that she would feel more at ease staying with Lu Qing, so she stayed without any reason.

Qingque lowered his head a little uncomfortably, unable to look directly at Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan sighed, his bad premonition coming true. He lowered his eyes, propping up his head with one hand. He didn't know if he was talking to Qingque, or if he wanted to say it to himself: "Qingque, tell me... do you like Qingqing as much as I do?"

Fu Xuan asked this question without considering the occasion, not caring whether her words would be overheard by Ran Qing.

In other words, she hoped that this self-exposure statement would allow Lu Qing to fully understand her feelings, so that he would not avoid anything. Whether he refused or agreed, she wanted him to at least face her feelings and truly understand that she really liked him.

"I...I don't know..."

Qingque has not yet clarified her inner feelings, and she has not made up her mind to like Lanqing. Compared to liking someone together with others, Qingque feels that being a couple for life is more in line with her wishes.

And even if she doesn't like Lu Qing, Lu Qing is still a good friend. A friend who can give you peace of mind at critical moments is a good friend.

Qingque's attitude completely ignited Fu Xuan's already irritable heart. She never thought that she would lose her mind because of Qingque's attitude.

For no reason, these three words inexplicably touched Fu Xuan's sensitive spot. Qingque's perfunctory response made Fu Xuan see the shadow of Lu Qing.

A few days ago, Lu Qing was just like this, just as hesitant and insincere. Qing Que clearly liked Lu Qing, Fu Xuan could see it.

"Don't you know? You don't know?! You'll never know! Greenbird!"

Qingque was frightened by Fu Xuan and dared not speak.

Jiao Qiu came out of the kitchen at the right time and brought a bottle of white wine to Fu Xuan.

She glanced at Jiao Qiu, shook her head and refused, "I don't need this."

She didn't think she needed alcohol to help her express the emotions in her heart.

"I'm telling you, Qingqing! Listen to me! I like you. I know you have a child bride, but I still like you."

"It doesn't matter if it's immoral, it doesn't matter if it's groundless, even if it's just a secret, I just like you, and I want to... marry you."

"Master Taibu... why?" Qingque was a little shocked and said that he could not believe that this was what Fu Xuan would say. The image of Master Taibu in his heart was collapsing and reshaping.

She was a little confused, Yunli was still there!

"Qingque, I don't know what I am like in your eyes right now, and I don't care. At least I know that I have faced my inner self today."

After saying what she wanted to say most, Fu Xuan did not feel weak all over. She only felt that her blood was boiling at this moment. Having said that, Fu Xuan also felt that there was no need for her to stay here, so she turned around and wanted to leave.

Although it was a spur-of-the-moment thought, she mustered up the courage to say these words in order to make a decision here.

She had thought so a few days ago, but was evaded by Lanqing. At that time, she had no other emotions except anger and disappointment. She also did not have the intention to resent Lanqing, because she also knew that her love might be unreasonable in Lanqing's eyes.

What she did was completely troublesome to Lu Qing, but she didn't care. That's how love is. There's no need for a reason to like someone, and there's no need for a reason to dislike someone either.

The so-called love is actually for the sake of satisfying oneself from beginning to end, and is selfish.

At least that's what Fu Xuan thinks. When the originally beautiful love turns into inner torment, this relationship will begin to deteriorate.

Fu Xuan didn't want this to happen. She didn't want her love for Lu Qing to turn into a so-called obsession. For this reason, she made a decision and let go of this feeling while it still remained in her heart in the most beautiful form.

Regardless of success or failure, this is a memory that can be faced calmly.

Fu Xuan's personality is like this. She has her own ambitions. Being able to continue to like Ranqing, who likes someone else, for the sake of the feelings in her heart is already her limit.

The choice of whether to give up this fate is also in the hands of Ryoqing...

If Lan Qing didn't realize the meaning behind her turning around and leaving this time, then she was just being sentimental and self-moved... Of course, that also meant that this was just a bad relationship.

Worth reminiscing, but not worth regretting.

After a heartfelt confession, Fu Xuan gave Lu Qing the only and final choice so far.

A multiple-choice question that is not too difficult, a multiple-choice question that makes you completely relieved.

If Qing agreed, he would definitely come to keep me.

If he doesn't agree, this place will be cut off.

There was no unforgettable experience between the two, nor any unbreakable bond. The only things they had were the boy's nonchalant guidance, Jing Yuan's induction, and the master's almost joking guidance of a marriage.

It was a chance encounter, but due to the guidance of someone with ulterior motives, feelings that should not have arisen developed.

There is nothing that cannot be separated...

Fu Xuan turned her back to Qingque and walked towards the distance of the cave. When she reached the place where she could leave the cave, Lu Qing still did not show up. Fu Xuan's heart ached violently, and frustration and helplessness filled her heart, but she did not cry for it.

She did not leave immediately, but waited with hope. Looking back, the cold face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years melted at this moment, and she no longer frowned. The pain brought by the Dharma Eye was ignored by Fu Xuan, and she showed the softest and warmest smile since she obtained the Dharma Eye.

No matter how beautiful or frank that smile is, no matter how much she tells herself not to care, when that smile fades, all that's left is loneliness.

Didn't come to keep me, it seems...

Fu Xuan wanted to leave, but his right to enter and exit the cave was taken away. He looked back in shock, but the blue bird in his sight had disappeared. Only a figure in white clothes and white hair was walking towards him slowly.

I couldn't see his face clearly because it was blurred by the tears in his eyes.

The figure moved very quickly, and before Fu Xuan had time to wipe away his tears, he was already close.

Lu Qing stood in front of Fu Xuan with a gentle smile, but her eyes were no longer the same as usual, carrying some different meaning.

"Why are you like this?" He raised his hand and touched the wound on Qingqing's face with a little heartache. His face was bruised and swollen, and he looked very miserable.

"It's just a small price, no big deal." He held Fu Xuan's hand that was caressing his face, "You said you like me, right?"

"Yeah." Fu Xuan nodded seriously.

"Then from now on, you can't leave." The heavy words also meant that Qing faced his own heart.

Fu Xuan didn't understand what Qing meant. Before she could ask, she saw Qing carefully taking off the bracelet on her hand.

When his fingertips touched her skin, all she could feel was warmth and peace of mind.

Yan Qing carefully took her right hand, pinched each finger one by one, and finally chose her middle finger. The bracelet gradually shrank and finally became a ring of suitable size to be worn on Fu Xuan's middle finger.

"Master Taibu, I won't say anything sentimental, but I think this ring is enough to tell everything."

Lu Qing once thought about why Fu Xuan liked her, but she didn't come to any useful conclusion in the end. But that didn't matter anymore.

"My previous escapes, my previous temptations... were all my fault. I shouldn't have distrusted your feelings for me. Now this is my compensation."

Lu Qing leaned over and kissed Fu Xuan on the forehead.

"This is my apology and my compensation. From now on, I will erase the pain that Fa Yan has suffered for you." Then he held Fu Xuan in his arms.

"You are such an idiot." The girl responded with a slight scolding.

"Renqing..." Fu Xuan called the boy's name softly, looking into his eyes implicitly.

Beauty endows the soul and brings joy to the heart.

Fu Xuan's eyes were clear and he understood in his heart that she wanted to hear his confession. There was no fancy poetry or rhetoric, only the most simple confession: "Fu Xuan, I like you too."

"Master Taibu, please give me guidance for the rest of my life."

"Please give me more advice."
