Rebirth of the Sovereign's Counterattack
Chapter 42
Qin Hui's arrival made the deserted Tianyin Sect a bit lively. After all, he is the future son-in-law with a noble status. Qi Shanfang was very happy, and held a family banquet in honor of Qin Hui that night.
After all, Meng Qingyun is considered a family member, and he is also included in the invitation to this family banquet. In the past, he would find an excuse not to go, but Qi Shan would agree to it. This time, the surprise is that the person who came to invite was very persistent. Later, after inquiring Only then did I realize that it was Qi Yao who strongly wanted to invite him over.
Qi Yao?
Meng Qingyun didn't like this wayward and vicious woman, what did she ask herself to do?Besides, it was her fiancé who came here this time, so she should not be in the mood to pay attention to herself.
Puzzled in my heart, I thought it would be okay to go, so I agreed.
Because it was a family banquet, Li Sanqian did not go with him.
The banquet was held in the side hall at the top of the mountain. It was cold and windy in winter, but the inside of the hall was very warm under the light of candles.A round table was placed in the center of the hall, surrounded by two thousand-branch candlesticks one person high, illuminating the room as if it were daytime.Qi Yao's charming face is more radiant and moving in the candlelight. Although her affectionate eyes try to maintain their usual domineering, the occasional gaze cast on Qin Hui, who is chatting and laughing, shows the girl's love.
Qin Hui didn't seem to notice her gaze, and chatted happily with Qi's father and son. The three of them laughed happily from time to time, completely like a family.
When Meng Qingyun entered, several people turned their heads together.
"Qingyun is here?" Qi Shanfang said with a smile and turned his head.
Qin Hui glanced at Meng Qingyun and stopped looking at him.
Meng Qingyun walked to the last seat calmly and sat down, with a calm smile on his face, quietly being an outsider.
"What are you doing sitting so far away?"
Qi Yao's voice made him turn his head, and Meng Qingyun saw Qi Yao who was sitting two seats away from him on his left looking unhappy and staring at him.
He was slightly startled, got up and sat down, before he could sit still, Qi Yao's hand brushed the table inadvertently, and the smooth ivory chopsticks fell to the ground.
"Help me pick it up." Qi Yao's voice was soft.
Meng Qingyun frowned slightly, but when she raised her eyes, she met her commanding gaze, and behind that intense aggressive gaze, there seemed to be a hint of uneasiness.
What's up with her?
Meng Qingyun only hesitated for a moment, then bent down and picked up the chopsticks and handed them to the disciple who was waiting at the side, "Change a pair for Senior Sister Qi."
The disciple took the chopsticks and bowed his head away, Qi Yao smiled happily, "It's still Junior Brother Meng who treats me well."
But his eyes slipped to the three who had stopped talking and looked at them.
In an instant, Meng Qingyun suddenly understood why she had to come here by herself. She was a flamboyant and popular person, but from Qin Hui's performance, she was not overly enthusiastic about her. Perhaps this made her very disappointed, and she was eager to think about it. Find someone to prove your charm - even if you don't care about me, there are many people who like me!
Qi Yao seemed to have mistakenly thought that she liked her all the time, and her group of suitors could not be present at such a banquet, so she insisted on coming by herself.
After figuring this out, Meng Qingyun only found it ironic and funny, and felt sorry for her own stupidity at the beginning—such a naive and arrogant woman, how could she care so much about her back then?Maybe because she is Qi Zhaoyang's younger sister, she favors her and follows her in everything, allowing her to humiliate herself, but the more this kind of person is petty, the less she will take him seriously.
"It's my honor to serve Senior Sister. Even without me, there are plenty of young talents serving Senior Sister." Meng Qingyun smiled, with dark shadows flashing across her eyes.Lifting his head slightly, he happened to meet a pair of dark eyes.
Meng Qingyun smiled slightly, then turned to Qi Yao and said, "I'm very happy that Senior Sister can call me."
There was a trace of anger and sinisterness in the eyes staring at him, Qi Zhaoyang finally said, "I'm busy talking, let's have some drinks, father's daughter Hong, I have thought about it for a long time."
Qi Shanfang laughed and waved his hands, "Come, let's serve wine."
Qin Hui looked at Qi Yao silently, he didn't say anything from beginning to end, even after drinking, he didn't say a word to Qi Yao.
Strange.
Meng Qingyun raised his glass and drank the contents of the glass, but he was curious about Qin Hui's reaction. He was not at all excited about marrying a beautiful bride. On the contrary, Qi Zhaoyang and Qi Shanfang were surprisingly enthusiastic and talked to him repeatedly.
The bright yellow candlelight flowed on Qin Hui's hair, and the long hair flickered with a misty luster.As he drank cup by cup, his fair cheeks gradually turned red, and his beautiful phoenix eyes gradually became a hazy water color.
For a moment, Meng Qingyun's heart skipped a beat, and she actually felt that he was a little more charming than Qi Yao, so she quickly lowered her head and drank to hide her expression.
The meal was finished under the enthusiasm of Qi's father and son, Qin Hui seemed to have drunk too much wine, Qi Zhaoyang accompanied him to go out to enjoy the breeze.
As soon as the person left, Qi Yao's face darkened almost immediately, she snorted heavily, bit her lip again, and looked in the direction where the two were leaving resentfully.Meng Qingyun was about to say goodbye, but was stopped by Qi Shanfang to say something, and by the time the chat was over, it was already dark.
After leaving the Hall of Mantras, he waved away the disciples who followed him, and walked slowly back along the stone path by himself.The wind was blowing outside the hall, blowing away his lack of alcoholism.
Looking at the still white scenery ahead in the dark, thinking of all the innocence in the past under the protection of his father, to the present day when people take tea, startled every step of the way, I can't help but sigh softly, but the sentimentality quickly fades away. He went back and put on a gentle and harmless smiling face again.
The familiar scenery of the whole summit aroused his old memories. He remembered that before he was ten years old, his father would almost always take him to build snowmen beside the woods.As soon as the thought came together, he walked towards the path in the direction of the woods, wanting to take the path to go home, and remember the scene of the year by the way.
The snow is silent, and the human world is misty.
The trees were covered with snow and stood quietly on the hillside. There were no snowmen, only the cold wind was blowing, the crowns of the trees were shaking, and the snowballs were falling.
Meng Qingyun walked slowly for a while, only feeling deserted. He stood at the place where the snowman was built in his memory, staring at the place where the snowman was once built, but there was nothing there, only the empty snow stretching into the depths of the forest.He decides to leave.
"What are you thinking?"
After taking two steps, he suddenly heard a raised voice.
Meng Qingyun stopped.
"You actually let me marry your sister! I can't take it anymore! I like you, why do you want me to marry your sister!?"
The wind blew, and the snow balls fell from the trees and fell to the ground, scattered in all directions, some of them covered Meng Qingyun's toes, cold.
"If you don't marry my sister, how will we meet in the future? Qin Hui, your marriage is a marriage between two sects. How can you just retire? Don't you know the pros and cons of this?"
"..."
Meng Qingyun laughed silently, the wind brushed over his forehead, messing up his hair, exposing his dark eyes.
There is such a thing!
He felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling, rushing straight to his forehead, his whole brain was hot, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.
What would happen if such a secret were known by Qi Yao?
Thinking of Qi Yao's resentful eyes looking at Qin Hui, Meng Qingyun almost laughed out loud.
He backed away almost breathlessly, when suddenly—
"Who?!" A swift figure rushed out from the woods, just in time to face Meng Qingyun.
In the snowy night, the snow light makes each other clearly visible.
Waist-length hair, blue flowing clothes, an alluring face, and angry eyes.
Qin Hui.
"It's you!" Qin Hui screamed, as if frightened, but he recovered in an instant, and swung a thunderous palm at Meng Qingyun.
For a moment, Meng Qingyun considered how to dodge, and another white figure walked towards him like a whirlwind, intercepted the palm with his bare hands, and shouted: "Don't kill him!"
"He heard it!"
"I know."
Qin Hui withdrew his hand.
Meng Qingyun lowered his eyelashes, his body seemed to be shivering in the cold wind, and said in a low voice, "I didn't hear anything."
Qin Hui snorted heavily.
"Brother, I swear, I won't say anything!" Meng Qingyun raised his head and said.Taking two steps back, he looked at Qin Hui, who was staring at him, then turned around and strode forward.
It was already late at night when we returned to Xinxiu Peak. Meng Qingyun heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw the faint light in his yard. When he recovered, his back was sweating.
Li Sanqian, who picked him up, had a slightly surprised expression on his face. Meng Qingyun thought that his complexion must be very bad, no wonder he would show such eyes.His mood still didn't calm down, and he tried his best to cope with Li Sanqiao's interrogation, but Li Sanqiao didn't ask anything, just waited for him to take a hot bath and let him rest.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow."
At this moment, Meng Qingyun was very grateful for his indifference.After sleeping until dawn the next day, he analyzed Qi Zhaoyang's reaction with some anxiety.Such a direct confrontation with Shang Qi was beyond his expectation. In Qi Zhaoyang's heart, he was no longer a non-threatening person. Would he have other plans?
Meng Qingyun walked around the room for a while, walked to the table and sat down, suddenly smiled coldly.
There was no need to panic, he didn't dare to mess with himself blatantly.Don't do anything now, just dispel the doubts in his heart.He still had to think about how to use him and Qin Hui. He had a hunch that this would be a sharp weapon against them, but there was no evidence.
Thinking of this, Meng Qingyun was completely calm, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Li San, who was sitting lazily and staring at him silently: "Let's continue practicing swords."
Li Sanzhen shrugged, but still didn't ask anything.
However, after less than two days of practice, it was interrupted by a sudden bell.
After all, Meng Qingyun is considered a family member, and he is also included in the invitation to this family banquet. In the past, he would find an excuse not to go, but Qi Shan would agree to it. This time, the surprise is that the person who came to invite was very persistent. Later, after inquiring Only then did I realize that it was Qi Yao who strongly wanted to invite him over.
