Doing chores in the world of self-cultivation

The hand holding the bouquet is well-knit, long and strong, Qi Xiu looked up along the arm, and Xie Ling's quiet eyebrows entered his eyes.

When Qi Xiu came back, the night was already very dark, and now the corners of Xie Ling's eyes and brows were stained with the cold night dew, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.

Qi Xiu's heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and he felt a little pain. He bit his lips and couldn't speak.

"Are you angry with me?" Xie Ling looked at him and asked bluntly.

He doesn't like to guess and go, and it is his usual style to directly and cleanly enter the key points.

He had already figured it out, if Qi Xiu really repulsed him from being intimate with him, then he would restrain himself and proceed step by step.

Of course, in Xie Ling's various assumptions, he was trying to figure out Qi Xiu's thoughts, but he did not give up on these two words at all.

Qi Xiu steadied his mind, forced a smile and said, "How could it be? Why would I avoid senior brother, it's just recently..."

He couldn't continue, and under Xie Ling's deep and focused eyes, his lies were invisible.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Xie Ling, Qi Xiu simply closed his eyes and said, "I just feel sorry for offending Senior Brother a while ago."

Xie Ling handed the flower to Qi Xiu, and said in a low voice, "How can you offend me? If I did something wrong and made you angry, then I will apologize to you, and the flower will not hurt you." Like it?"

Qi Xiu stared at the blooming Silver Moon Flower, speechless for a while.

Silver moon flower is a very beautiful white flower. The white petals are shaped like a crescent moon and are as bright as moonlight, hence the name.

Some were planted in front of Qi Xiu's house, but now this season is not the flowering period of silver moon flowers, so most of the ones in front of his house have only a little big flower buds, which are far from the time to bloom.

The bouquet of flowers in Xie Ling's hand is in full bloom. It must have been spawned by Xie Ling's spiritual power. The night is cool, and Xie Ling's eyebrows are covered with a layer of frost, but the silver moon flower is blooming under the warmth of spiritual power. The color, exudes a soft light...

Qi Xiu had a sore nose for no reason, he turned his head away, stopped looking at the flowers, and said sullenly: "What kind of flowers do I receive as a man, senior brother should give them to the person who should receive them, Senior Sister Ren must like it very much .”

These words blurted out without much thought, and Qi Xiu was startled.

What is he doing?Are you jealous?

The senior brother treats him well, but he will naturally start a family and start a career in the future, why is he, a junior brother, worrying about him here?

Qi Xiu is not a fool, the listlessness of the past few days has already explained everything.

It turns out that he... likes senior brother...

But since Senior Brother already has a marriage contract with Senior Sister Ren, why should he be coy here?

Since he has impure thoughts about his senior brother, then he should avoid them and not bother them.

Even if he feels a dull pain in his heart now, he can't do this, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and it is right to cut off the thoughts that shouldn't be in time...

Qi Xiu took a light breath, tears flashed in his eyes, he tilted his head to prevent Xie Ling from seeing his current appearance.

Xie Ling was puzzled, Senior Sister Ren?Idle books?

What does this have to do with idle books?

He said in a deep voice: "No matter what your reason is, I hope to be able to make it clear. I don't want to lose the opportunity to pursue you in such a vague way."

Qi Xiu's eyes widened, his fragility just now was crushed by Xie Ling's words, he was extremely surprised.

But how can this be?He tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, and said solemnly: "Senior Brother? What are you talking about? How can you be worthy of Senior Sister Ren like this!"

It's too much for him to be secretly delighted by his senior brother's words!

Qi Xiu has always thought that he is a good boy with good roots, he spurned the joy in his heart, and warned himself that he must never be someone else's mistress!

Xie Ling: ...

He had to reflect on whether he had done something to cause Qi Xiu to have such a misunderstanding. If Lu Qiuxian knew that Qi Xiu thought that Xianshu had something to do with him, he would probably be very angry.

Xie Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought it was because of his rude behavior that caused Qi Xiu to resist, but he didn't think it was because of this.

"I don't understand. Why do you think Xianshu has anything to do with me? Xianshu has always been my junior sister."

Qi Xiu faintly felt that he seemed to have misunderstood something, but he couldn't believe it, fearing that he was just having fun in vain.

His voice was a little unsteady, and he said without confidence: "I heard... Senior Brother, you and Senior Sister Ren already have a marriage contract..."

Seeing Xie Ling's expression, his voice became smaller and smaller until he was silent.

Xie Ling said seriously: "Where did you hear the rumors? I have never had any engagement with Xian Shu."

Qi Xiu seemed to be hit by a shining star, there was no engagement... Brother Xie also said that he was pursuing him...

Qi Xiu pinched his face unconsciously, isn't he dreaming?

Xie Ling was originally a little angry that Qi Xiu alienated him because of a ridiculous rumor, but when he saw Qi Xiu's stupid look, his depression disappeared in a flash.

"So now, can you accept this bouquet?"

Qi Xiu's face turned red, and he finally stretched out his hand to take the bouquet of silver moon flowers. He accidentally touched Xie Ling's slightly cold palm, and he flinched.

In the past few days, his somewhat chaotic mind was a little clearer, and he realized that Xie Ling had been standing here for a long time.

"Brother... let's go into the room and talk."

He lowered his head and lightly drew circles on the ground with his toes.

Obviously the senior brother has been here many times before, but this time it seems that there is something different, Qi Xiu feels that his face is so hot that it is going to burn.

The two entered Qi Xiu's house and shut the door at night.

After Qi Xiu poured a cup of tea for Xie Ling, he sat on the side, staring at the silver moon flower in his hand, not daring to look at Xie Ling at all.

Xie Ling was helpless: "Xian Shu does have a marriage contract with him, but it's not with me."

Xie Ling's voice seemed to have magical power, pulling Qi Xiu out of the mess, and then bringing him into the past.

"Back in Yuanxiao's secret realm, you must have known about Yuque Peak's former chief disciple——Lu Qiuxian."

Qi Xiu nodded.Xie Ling wanted to use these things to resolve Qi Xiu's embarrassment, so he continued.

"Lu Qiuxian, Ren Xianshu, and I, the three of us grew up together and practiced together. When we learned about human affairs, Qiuxian and Xianshu fell in love with each other. Because the relationship between the elders in the family is also very good, so at that time Elder Lu and Xianshu His mother had verbally agreed that Xianshu and Qiuxian would become Taoist couples after they formed alchemy... If it wasn't for what happened back then, Xianshu and Qiuxian must have been married by now..."

Xie Ling's voice was flat, but Qi Xiu still heard some sighs.

It turned out that there was such a thing back then... Taiqing was not allowed to mention the matter of Lu Qiuxian. Although the disciples knew about it, the servants like Yaotong must not have known about it.

Thinking that he gave Xie Ling'an such a name indiscriminately, Qi Xiu lowered his head in shame, fiddling with the bouquet uneasily.

Xie Ling did not spare him.

"Since you heard the rumors, why didn't you even ask me a question, and just made a conclusion?"

Qi Xiu was embarrassed. In fact, he had never imagined that he could have anything with his senior brother. The senior brother was so good and powerful, how could he, a young disciple, dare to dream about it.

Therefore, before I could see my thoughts clearly, when I heard this, I didn't even dare to think about it, so I subconsciously believed it was true.

In fact, this is just an excuse for my cowardice...

Qi Xiu understood now, but how dare he tell Xie Ling about this.

Do you want to tell your senior brother that you are messing up because you like him?

Even if Qi Xiu held back for a long time, he didn't have the nerve to say a word, but Xie Ling could guess some.

In his low voice, with gentle comfort: "I just said... I'm pursuing you, I'm very serious, I hope you can give me a chance..."

Qi Xiu's already familiar face exploded again, smoke was rising from his head, he was dizzy, and stammered: "Master, senior brother..."

Xie Ling has always been steady, Qi Xiu did not expect him to be so direct this time.

Who can resist this...Qi Xiu, who was fascinated by Xie Ling, thought silently.

Xie Ling chuckled: "Do you mean that you are willing to give me a chance?"

Qi Xiu clutched the bouquet tightly, unable to speak.

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your agreement."

Qi Xiu still didn't speak, he was restraining himself, restraining himself from wanting to say what he wanted to be with his senior brother directly, he was afraid that if he was too impatient, he would scare his senior brother instead.

Xie Ling knew that he must be a little confused now, so he didn't push him any further, and finally changed the subject.

"I heard that Lu Man brought idle books to help you try on clothes?"

Qi Xiu can answer this question, he nodded hastily.

Seeing his appearance, Xie Ling's palms were a little itchy, and he wanted to touch his head, but he held back. Don't be in a hurry, take your time.

"The clothes you make are so beautiful, Xian Shu must like them very much."

Seeing Xie Ling praise him like this, Qi Xiu pointed his finger in embarrassment. What did he think of, and asked in confusion: "Since Senior Sister Ren has had... that Senior Brother Lu... but I see that Senior Brother Lu Man seems to be treating Senior Sister Ren... ..."

Lu Man, Lu Qiuxian, something flashed across Qi Xiu's mind, but the strangeness was fleeting and he didn't catch it.

"Since Lu Qiuxian is no longer in Taiqing, the marriage contract between Xian Shu and him is nothing. If Xian Shu has a better choice, we will support her."

Xie Ling thought of Ren Xianshu's attitude towards Zafeng, he paused, and said more.

"Xianshu, her...I'm not trying to excuse her, she does have a bad attitude towards Zafeng now. But in fact, when the suzerain wanted to lower Yuque Peak to the outer sect, Xianshu and Bixiafeng were the first to object. She begged other elders for help, and she didn't want Yuque to be reduced to the level of the outer sect. Originally, the suzerain was moved by her, but..."

Xie Ling lowered his voice a little.

"But at that time, Yuque agreed to go to the outer sect...Xian Shu still doesn't understand why this happened. She can't accept that Yuque Peak, one of the three peaks of the Taiqing, has become an outer sect, and few people even mention its name. of miscellaneous peaks, so the attitude towards miscellaneous peaks has undergone drastic changes.”

Xie Ling sighed when he thought that Ren Xianshu's heart had not been eradicated, and there were still demons lurking waiting for an opportunity to move.

"No matter how sarcasm she utters, she must be the one who most wants to see Zafeng return to her former status. I can't erase her bad attitude towards you by saying this, and I won't excuse her. I just feel that these things I should tell you how to think, you must have a plan in your mind."

No matter what, Qi Xiu never expected such a thing to happen. Why did Zafeng agree to go to the outer gate?

As he thought so in his heart, he naturally asked the question out of his mouth.

Xie Lingdao: "At that time, Yuque's peak master and big disciples, all the core disciples died. Such a peak has lost the qualification to stay in the inner sect. I don't know what Qiu Feng master and the others thought at that time, but I know they want to rely on The idea of ​​returning to the inner court with strength has never changed."

He looked at Qi Xiu with gentle eyes, but he still didn't say a word.

And your appearance gave everyone hope again.

Qi Xiu seemed to understand but didn't understand. No wonder Senior Sister Ren came out to stop Lei Ting's disciple when he offended him. Presumably she still cared about Zafeng very much.

He seemed to understand Ren Xianshu's awkward mentality of hating iron for nothing, and he actually found Senior Sister Ren a little cute.

Seeing that Qi Xiu's mood had stabilized, Xie Ling stood up and said, "It's getting late, you should rest, and you have to make alchemy tomorrow."

There was tenderness in his eyes, and he whispered, "I don't want you to work too hard."

Qi Xiu's heart beat wildly again after recovering, why did senior brother just open his mouth to say these words?Is this still the taciturn and steady elder brother?

but……

Qi Xiu secretly thought in his heart: He likes senior brother like this.

very nice.
