Alternative white lotus

"Elder, please stay."

Mo Xi stopped and looked back.

A disciple stood behind with a nervous expression. Holding a letter in both hands, he leaned slightly and explained: "Someone is visiting and wants to see Brother Ning. He is waiting in the side hall right now. This letter is for Ning. Brother's."

It was rare for Mo Xi to leave Tsinghua Peak today. He took the envelope and glanced at it.

A line of beautiful small characters on the envelope:

"Ning Ze kisses"

Mo Xi nodded, put the envelope into his sleeve, and said, "I will pass it to him."

Since the incident in Changmeng Valley last time, Ning Ze's identity has been known to many people.Several old friends who were familiar with him in the past also got in touch with him.Ning Ze was invited to another sect as a guest last month, and he only came back two days ago.

So now that someone came to visit, Mo Xi didn't think it was strange.

Knowing that people were still waiting for Ning Ze, Mo Xi quickly finished his affairs and returned to Qinghua Peak.

Ning Ze was fiddling with his medicine garden, and took the envelope after washing his hands. When he saw the words on the envelope, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Mo Xi asked, "What's wrong?"

Ning Ze hurriedly shook his head: "It's just that I haven't contacted for a long time, so I'm a little surprised."

While speaking, he had already opened the envelope and began to read the contents inside.Slowly, his expression became serious, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.Soon he folded the envelope, turned to Mo Xi and said, "Grand Elder, is she at Danhua Peak?"

"Yes." Mo Xi was a little puzzled as to what was going on.But Ning Ze didn't take the initiative to say it, and it was difficult for him to ask.

The expression on Ning Ze's face softened slightly, but soon, his eyebrows frowned again: "I'll go to Danhua Peak first."

Ning Ze left in a hurry, while Mo Xi stood where he was, remembering the beautiful handwriting on the envelope again.

The writing is delicate and small, obviously a woman's handwriting.

The Grand Elder has lived for thousands of years, so naturally he will not be jealous of women.It's just that Mo Xi doesn't know anything about Ning Ze's past, what he was like in the past, what he liked, how he lived in the past hundreds of years, who he met, and who he liked.

— know nothing.

In the past, Mo Xi didn't think that he would like anyone. When facing Chu Mu, he mostly avoided it.

Therefore, facing the relationship now, there is nothing to do.

Since returning to Tianxuanmen after the sword test meeting, their relationship has not made any progress, and the two of them get along strangely.Although not as polite as before, it is not particularly intimate.Mo Xi always felt that something was wrong, or that there was a problem...but he didn't know what the problem was.

And although Ning Ze has contact with his past friends now, he has never let his friends get in touch with Mo Xi.

Mo Xi lowered his eyebrows in deep thought, and returned to his room after a long time.

Ning Ze hurried to Danhua Peak, and the people waiting in the side hall looked a bit haggard. When they saw him coming in, they stood up quickly.

A low-level disciple in the side hall immediately withdrew.

Ning Ze asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

The woman didn't look very old, but her face was tired, and she was quite calm at first, but after hearing Ning Ze's words, she almost shed tears.She blinked quickly, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "He's a little bit crazy, I really can't stop him."

Ning Ze asked her to sit down, and comforted her softly, "Are you planning to leave him?"

The woman nodded, with a wry smile on her face: "He is looking for me everywhere now, I thought of you, so I came here to look for you."

Ning Ze let out a long breath, stretched out his hand to pour a cup of tea, placed it beside her hand, poured another cup of tea for himself, and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

The woman's name is Su Xiaoci, her Taoist companion Chen Jinwen, and Ning Ze are both old friends.

Chen Jinwen was very radical during his cultivation, but Ning Ze tried to persuade him but failed. Later, because he had too much disagreement with Chen Jinwen, Ning Ze had less contact with them, so today he recognized Su Xiaoci's handwriting. Very surprised.

Su Xiaoci's tone was sad: "This year, everyone else has turned against us. I want to ask you to spend some time, and when he calms down, accompany me to explain clearly to him."

Ning Ze thought for a moment: "Okay."

"Thank you." Su Xiaoci breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "But I hope you don't let others know about this..."

Ning Ze said, "I understand."

Su Xiaoci said in the letter that Chen Jinwen's temper became moody due to stagnant cultivation, and he was obsessed with using various elixirs.

Su Xiaoci couldn't bear it anymore, every time he raised objections, he ignored them, and the two even fought each other a few times.Su Xiaoci wanted to leave him several times, but was forced to stay by his side.This time Su Xiaoci ran out while he was not paying attention to his cultivation.

Ning Ze already knew that Chen Jinwen would get to where he is today. He paid too much attention to external objects in his cultivation, but did not pay attention to cultivating his mind. Sooner or later, he would no longer be able to make progress.

When Mo Xi saw Su Xiaoci behind Ning Ze, his eyes flickered imperceptibly.

How did Ning Ze bring him up?

Seeing Mo Xi's doubts, Ning Ze explained: "She will stay in Tianxuanmen for a while, I wonder if we can let her live in Tsinghua Peak?"

The first time Ning Ze brought someone up, Mo Xi was really uncomfortable.

But Mo Xi still pretended not to care and said: "You decide."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to pick up a volume of books, pretending to continue reading, but from the corner of his eyes, he looked at Su Xiaoci without any trace: a petite girl with a pale face and bright eyes, very pitiful.

Ning Ze didn't think much about it, he thought he wanted to read, so he resigned and said, "Thank you, Grand Elder."

Mo Xi really didn't like his politeness, but he couldn't speak directly.I had no choice but to stare at the book, and nodded with a stiff neck.

This way of getting along is really... not right.

Ning Ze took Su Xiaoci out and closed the door with his hand.

There was a creak, and the light was blocked by the door.

Mo Xi put down the book, walked to the window, and pushed the window open a crack.

Ning Ze led Su Xiaoci through the corridor. When going down the steps, Su Xiaoci couldn't stand on his feet. Ning Ze quickly reached out to help her.Su Xiaoci then stopped with an apologetic face, as if thanking Ning Ze.

Mo Xi's face darkened slightly.

He raised his hand and closed the window.

Su Xiaoci stayed at Tsinghua Peak and was unfamiliar with the place, so Ning Ze would inevitably spend time walking around with her.But he knew that Mo Xi didn't like to be disturbed, so he didn't say anything to Mo Xi.

But I don't know if it's his illusion, he always feels that Mo Xi seems to be in a bad mood these days.

In a flash, half a month has passed.

Ning Ze asked the peripheral disciple who was going down the mountain to help inquire about Chen Jinwen's news. Today is the day that disciple came back, and Ning Ze arrived at Danhua Peak early.

After waiting for a long time, I saw someone coming up from the mountain.

"I heard that he is in Zhongming Town, which is thousands of miles away from here." The disciple said, "There was a cultivator trading conference there recently, and he should be attending this conference. But he seems to be looking for someone."

Zhongming Town is a small town inhabited by practitioners, and Ning Ze has been there in the past.It took about two days from Tianxuanmen.

It's almost time to go with Su Xiaoci.

Ning Ze was about to say goodbye to his disciples, when he raised his eyes, he saw Mo Xi coming from outside.

He and his disciples were talking in the courtyard behind Danhua Peak, and Mo Xi could see it clearly at a glance.Ning Ze was afraid that Mo Xi would see something, so he quickly thanked him and separated from his disciples.

He didn't want Mo Xi to get involved in his messy affairs, not to mention that Su Xiaoci didn't want others to know.

Seeing Ning Ze's secretive appearance, Mo Xi became even more suspicious.

Is there anything that cannot be said?

Mo Xi wanted to go to Yi Chucheng to get a magic weapon, so he asked Ning Ze to go with him.

On the way, Mo Xi asked Ning Ze, "Su Xiaoci just came to see you?"

It is rare for the Tai Elder to ask this directly, but Ning Ze didn't understand what he meant at all. He just thought that Mo Xi had noticed some clues, and quickly explained: "It is true that he just came to see me."

After thinking about it, Ning Ze said again: "I might go out with her tomorrow."

Mo Xi's brows twitched, but then he lowered his eyebrows and asked back, "Go out for a while?"

"There is a trade conference in Zhongming Town." Ning Ze said, "I'll accompany her there, and I'll be back soon."

Mo Xi was silent for a while, and then said "Mmm" with a straight face.
