Chapter 53 Doubt

Drive Yu Wang to the Elder's Palace to practice exercises, and start to tidy up the vacant basement, but this matter cannot be completed in a day or two, and it cannot be done by him alone, and it is inevitable to find someone to help help.At the same time, the few things that can be done at the same time as the renovation of the basement should be arranged gradually, so as not to be caught off guard when it is officially implemented in the future.

It's just that there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life. Although Qing Shi planned to arrange the affairs in his hands in order according to the priority, but before he made a plan, the changes came suddenly.

The cause of the matter can be traced back to the bunch of exercises that Han Shuo brought back from the library.

Although the exercise for Yu Wang was sent out that night, the other eleven disciples who entered the hall only got their own exercises in the middle of the teaching day.On the class day, Qing Shi didn't follow because he didn't want to get up early and didn't want to join in the fun. He didn't know how Han Shuo sent these exercises and what happened during the class. Very good, that night, she hugged Qingshi with great interest and was turned into a red wave in the bedroom. It was absurd to spend the whole night.

The next morning, the two of them were taking advantage of last night's lingering rhyme to continue to sleep on the Babu bed, when they suddenly heard someone outside the restraint shout in a moderate voice, "Report to Elder Han, disciple Su Fangqian Come and ask for advice!"

"What's going on?" Qingshi immediately turned dark and stared at Han Shuo.

Han Shuo was also a little puzzled, and he paused for a moment before he suddenly said, "Could it be because of the exercises? When I gave them the exercises yesterday, this Su Fang asked if I could come and ask for advice if I didn't understand..."

"Isn't that right, what people say is asking for advice!" Qing Shi curled her lips, rolled over and moved away from under Han Shuo's body, "Why are you still standing there, everyone is asking for advice, go over and teach!"

"He asked me to teach?! My cave is so easy to enter?!" Han Shuo snorted coldly.

"Who told you to promise me yesterday? Do you want people to say that your words don't count?" Qing Shi turned her head and gave Han Shuo a supercilious look.

Han Shuo couldn't refute, so he frowned before saying again, "Then let him wait in the Elder's Palace."

As he said that, Han Shuo wanted to open his mouth to drive Su Fang away, but he immediately realized that everyone in the valley might hear him yelling, so he had to release his consciousness first, lock Su Fang's position, and then use sound transmission to let Su Fang go. He went to wait in the elders' hall.

Seeing Su Fang leaving obediently, Han Shuo withdrew his consciousness, turned his head to look at Qing Shi who was holding the brocade quilt and pouted beside him, and quickly laughed, "Are you so angry?"

"Now that you are full of food and drink, you are broad-minded. If he came a few hours earlier, I will see if you are angry!" Qing Shi mocked.

"A few hours earlier would be midnight, if he came at that time, I would definitely kick him out of the valley." Han Shuo reached out and patted Qingshi's buttocks exposed outside the brocade quilt, "Get up, come with me. "

"Can I go out with my current appearance?" Qing Shi rolled his eyes.The traces after being happy can't be eliminated in a short while, but anyone with some experience and good eyesight can easily detect it, and although Su Fang's eyesight is light, he can't be sure, but experience is obviously not lacking.

"If you don't go, then don't go, don't say that I'm behind your back." Han Shuo leaned over and blocked Qingshi's mouth.

Qingshi put her arms around Han Shuo's neck, and actively stuck out the tip of her tongue to get entangled with him.After the lips and tongues of the two parted reluctantly, Qing Shi raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, "Elder Han is familiar with such things, and he can even predict the suspicions involved. He is really experienced!"

"I'm over 600 years old." Han Shuo smiled, didn't take Qingshi's sarcasm to heart, squeezed Qingshi's cheek, and got up to get dressed.

Qingshi didn't linger any more, watched Han Shuo get dressed and left the bedroom, then lay down on the bed and meditated.

Su Fang's behavior was very strange, whether it was wanting to plot against Shen Shenzhou before or asking for advice today, the word "obtrusive" was unavoidable.

Although Su Fang tripped Shen Chenzhou behind his back and tried to pour dirty water on him, when the two were together, Qing Shi couldn't feel that Su Fang had any special hatred for Shen Chenzhou.After both of them became official disciples, Su Fang's framing of Shen Chenzhou did not follow up further, just like a summer rainstorm, it came suddenly and went inexplicably.

——Now seeing that the target has shifted to Han Shuo again.

Qing Shi puts himself in the position of Su Fang, but he can't figure out why this person really did what he did.

Still those two words, abrupt.

It has been ten days since Su Fang came to Wuming Valley. If he really made up his mind to stick Han Shuo as a backer from the beginning, he should have taken action in the first ten days, but at that time he ran out of the valley from time to time. , for the rest of the time, he was getting close to several other disciples who entered the palace, and he didn't seem to have any intention of getting close to Han Shuo at all.

If it is said that Su Fang has a deep mind and properly concealed his intentions, it doesn't look like it.After a few contacts, Qingshi could see that although Su Fang had a lot of narrow minds, they were all on the surface, otherwise he wouldn't be fooled by a few words with a finger during the Chinese New Year.Now that I saw myself again, I could only control the expression on my face, but I couldn't hide the resentment and horror in my eyes, and I never saw the flattering words and deeds like before.

And if Su Fang really wanted to hide his thoughts and show Han Shuo slowly, then today's move was obviously too hasty.What's more, Su Fang and Ximen Hao still have such a relationship, so he can't just use himself as a bargaining chip to please Han Shuo in bed without first finding out what Han Shuo likes?Although it is not completely impossible, even if Su Fang made up his mind to climb another branch like Yu Wei, Ximen Hao is not Yu Wang. , if Su Fang betrayed him——

Shen Chenzhou, Su Fang, Ximen Hao, Han Shuo...

Several names were turning around in Qingshi's mind, but he always felt that something was not quite right, like a maze map that had been forcibly removed by someone, and the wiring could not be connected smoothly.

Thinking about it, Qing Shi's heart suddenly moved. He only heard Shen Shenzhou's talk about the relationship between Su Fang and Ximen Hao, but he didn't check it himself. And out of trust in Shen Shenzhou, he didn't even ask for details.

——Yes, the weirdness is here!

——It was obviously Su Fang who framed Shen Chenzhou, and it was obviously Su Fang who approached Han Shuo, why did Ximen Hao appear in the middle?

Qing Shi slammed the bed hard, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.Although the ins and outs of it are still elusive, he has already held a thread in his hand, as long as he follows this thread, one, two, three, four can be found out very quickly.

——But, should this matter go on?

Qing Shi bit his lip hesitantly, and soon laughed at himself.Whether or not he should be cared about has already been taken care of. Stopping here or continuing is only the difference between fifty steps and a hundred steps. It is better to take care of it thoroughly and find out.

——Think of it as satisfying curiosity!

After making up his mind, Qing Shi turned over and got out of bed.

After soaking in a hot bath comfortably, Qingshi cleaned up all possible traces on his body, changed into the most standard blue robes worn by Xian Chumen's foundation-building disciples, and stepped out of the stone room.

Han Shuo hadn't come back yet, so Qing Shi didn't bother to think about the reason, so he went out of the cave.

Qing Shi first found Ding Hu and told him to pay close attention to Su Fang's movements, and once he left the valley, he would immediately send himself a sound transmission talisman.Although Ding Hu was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions. He had cooperated with Qingshi for a long time, and he knew that as long as he was obedient, he would definitely not suffer any disadvantages. No one is forbidden to approach, but no handyman is left to serve.

Qing Shi pouted, waved Ding Hu to leave, and turned around to go to Shen Chenzhou's room.

Contrary to Su Fang who has no mentor but runs out all day, Shen Chenzhou hasn't gone out since entering the valley.Even if Qingshi asked him to use his hands to buy shares that day, he didn't make a single move. Instead, he became more and more cautious in his words and deeds, and he didn't even touch Qingshi anymore.Qing Shi originally planned to give him some time to weigh the pros and cons, but now he can't take care of it, so he went directly to the room and came to the door.

Shen Chenzhou was sitting on the futon looking at the jade slips, when he saw that Qingshi pushed the door in without even saying hello, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"I have something to do." Qing Shi said as he closed the door, then took out the soundproof disk and stuffed the spirit stone into it.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that there was a change in Qingshi's expression, Shen Chenzhou didn't pursue his rudeness, put away the jade slips, and asked with a frown.

"Ask you something." Qing Shi sat in front of Shen Shenzhou, and placed the activated array between the two of them, "How did you find out that Su Fang and Ximen Hao are related?"

"I followed him." Shen Chenzhou replied.

"Stalking? Did you do it yourself?" Qing Shi couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"How can I ask someone else for this kind of thing? Of course I have to do it myself." Shen Shenzhou replied calmly, "I have been watching Su Fang since you reminded me of this matter. But after all, my relationship with him The cultivation level is almost the same, he dare not stare too closely, and he is careful enough to follow up a few times without any results. Until the time of the Chinese New Year, he went out to the peak alone more often, and every time At the same place, I simply waited and waited, and only then did I meet Ximen Hao and have a private meeting with him."

Qing Shi blinked, "How can you be sure that he and Ximen Hao have that kind of relationship, could it be..."

"It's all kissing, what else can it be?" A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Shen Chenzhou's face, and he immediately said seriously, "It's a pity that I don't dare to get too close, I can only see them together, but I can't hear what they said What—why did you remember to ask this? Didn’t you just say to leave him alone?”

"Because some things get weirder the more you think about them." Qing Shi replied, but didn't say what made him feel strange.

"Can you stop leaving half of what you say every time?" Shen Chenzhou couldn't help but said, "What are you thinking, just say it clearly at once, okay?"

Qing Shi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what Shen Chenzhou wanted him to clarify was not just about Su Fang, so he couldn't help laughing, "Why, you can't take it anymore?"

"What do you know?" Shen Chenzhou asked without answering.

"Guess what?" Qing Shi frowned.

Shen Chenzhou didn't make a sound, just looked at Qingshi intently with a sullen face, and clenched his hands tightly.

"It's just to scare you, look at you." Qing Shi pouted boredly.

"Yan Qing is so light!" Shen Chenzhou's forehead has burst into blue veins.

Qing Shi smiled slightly, but his tone became cold, "Shen Shenzhou, I remember I told you more than once that I don't like the surname Yan, so you'd better not use it."

"...Sorry." Shen Chenzhou took a deep breath, as if forcing himself to calm down.

"There's no need to apologize, as long as it doesn't happen again." Qing Shi's smile remained the same, "We have always gotten along very happily, and I don't want this friendship to be ruined because of a little thing."

"Friendship, I am really terrified to hear you say this word." Shen Chenzhou sneered.

"I'm really sad to hear you say that." The words in Qingshi's mouth and the expression on his face are obviously opposite.

Shen Chenzhou has long been used to his behavior, and the corner of his mouth twitched a little before returning to normal, "You should just tell me what you know and what you want."

"I'm just bluffing you, why don't you believe me, did I tell you a lie?" Qingshi rolled his eyes, and continued without waiting for Shen Chenzhou to argue, "Besides, Su Fang's business is Su Fang's business. Fang's business, your business is your business, don't get mixed up, at least, don't get mixed up yet."

"You're here again." Shen Chenzhou sighed, "What exactly do you want to say, explain clearly, will it work?"

"I haven't figured out the matter about Su Fang myself, so I can't say it." Qing Shi shrugged, "As for your matter, I have already said that day, I am short of manpower, I hope you can provide some support."

"...Why are you so sure that I can provide you with manpower?" Shen Chenzhou narrowed his eyes.

"I just said it casually, but you hesitated, so I thought you must have it." Qing Shi smiled, seeing that Shen Chenzhou didn't believe it, he continued, "Your young master's style is too obvious, especially when the two of us just When we met, the clothes on you had never been worn out, and neither the fabric nor the stitches could be provided by the sect, and the tailoring was too close. Someone specially made it for you to wear. When I asked you to help me sell things, you agreed too happily-I was talking about the past, but now you have learned how to push? But you are responsive to your requests, and you don’t even think about how you, a little kid in the Qi refining period, have the courage to agree, and how to explain to me if you can’t sell it.”

"I've sold them all, and you've got the Lingshi as well." Shen Chenzhou said with a cold face.

"It's even more strange to sell it every time." Qing Shi laughed and said, "You just entered the sect at that time, and you didn't worship as a disciple under Daoist Qixin. Where did your connections come from? ? How many spirit stones can you sell just by relying on the market every ten days? Several times I deliberately entrusted you with things that disciples in the foundation establishment period would be envious of. My spirit stone is exactly the same—hey!"

Shen Chenzhou's face turned blue and white, gritted his teeth, and said, "That's just my loyal servant..."

"You don't need to explain, especially you don't need to explain to me." Qing Shi raised his finger and shook it in front of Shen Chenzhou, "I will not ask about things that I have never asked before. I only ask you, I want to open a shop , can you—can you provide me with some manpower?"

Shen Chenzhou took a deep breath, nodded resolutely, "Yes!"

"That's it." Qingshi straightened up, took out a jade slip and threw it into Shen Shenzhou's hand, and said with a smile, "It contains the things I need them to do, the things I want to buy, and how many spirit stones I need. They are good at reporting it to me, and if they are willing to pay in advance, I have no objection."

"Okay." Shen Chenzhou put away the jade slip without looking at it.

"Don't worry, I still need about two to three months of preparation time." Qing Shi said.In fact, he originally wanted to take back the Wanwutang within a month, but now that he has planned to deal with the incidents caused by the Soviet side first, the withdrawal and restructuring of the Wanwutang can only be postponed for some time.

"After the shop opened, are you sure it's you, me, and Yu Wang, three each?" Shen Chenzhou asked.

"It's fine for Yu Wang to just work and get a bonus, and there's no need to let him know about other things." Qing Shi knew what Shen Chenzhou meant, and immediately emphasized.

Shen Chenzhou nodded.

Qing Shi didn't say much anymore, he put away the formation plate and spirit stone separately, got up to leave, but turned his head and said, "I'll take care of Su Fang's affairs, don't follow him anymore."

"Why?" Shen Chenzhou raised his eyebrows.

"Ximen Hao." Qing Shi only said a word, then turned his head and left.

Qing Shi left Shen Shenzhou's room and walked along the veranda towards the gate of the hall

At that time, I saw Su Fang coming out of the main hall following Han Shuo.Han Shuo had no expression on his face and could not see any emotion, but Su Fang was obviously in a good mood, whispering something behind Han Shuo, smiling constantly on his delicate and pretty face.

"Senior brother Yan!" Before Qingshi could speak, Su Fang noticed Qingshi's figure very sharply, and immediately raised his hand to greet him.

Qing Shi ignored Su Fang, walked up to Han Shuo, bowed and saluted, "Elder Han."

Seeing that Qingshi was here, Han Shuo frowned obviously, but he didn't ask him why he came out, he just said calmly, "I'm going back to the cave, how about you?"

"I'm fine, I'm listening to Elder Han's orders." Qing Shi straightened up and stood with his hands down.

"Then let's go together." After Han Shuo finished speaking, he continued to walk outside the hall.

Qing Shi turned his head to Su Fang, just when Su Fang thought he had something to say, Qing Shi just smiled and followed Han Shuo without looking at him again.

Su Fang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then bit his lip, and said loudly, "Disciple Su Fang, send Elder Han respectfully!"

He shouted, but Han Shuo stopped, turned around and looked at Su Fang, and said indifferently, "If you have any questions in the future, send me the sound transmission talisman, don't come here directly, I don't like being disturbed when I'm in the cave. .”

"Today is my disciple's recklessness, please forgive me, Elder Han." Su Fang was startled, and quickly bowed to apologize.

"This matter is not only aimed at you, but also other people." Han Shuo continued.

"Junior Brother Su, convey Elder Han's meaning to the other senior brothers." Qing Shi interjected, "Also, it's best to save the question for the class day, if everyone is like you Excuse me, Elder Han, do you still want to practice?"

"Senior Brother Yan..." Su Fang pursed his lips in aggrieved expression.

Han Shuo glanced at Qingshi, and said, "It's okay, it's fine to send the notes."

"Thank you Elder Han." Su Fang immediately smiled.

Qing Shi raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Han Shuo meaningfully. Han Shuo returned his calm and irritable eyes, then ignored Su Fang, turned around and continued walking towards the cave.

All the parties said that it was all right, so Qing Shi naturally stopped talking ignorantly, ignored Su Fang's provocative gaze, quickly caught up with Han Shuo, and followed him into the cave.
