After being pulled up by the master

Chapter 34 The Temptation at the Dinner Table

After a while, there was a rustling sound in the room, and then, the door opened, and the tired face of "Sun Yize" appeared in front of his eyes.

His complexion was very bad, there was a faint bruise under his eye sockets, his lips were white, and he spoke hoarsely. He couldn't hear the usual tone at all: "It's sleepy, why are you here so late? It's dark, the road It’s not easy to go, be careful.”

"I'm fine, I'm used to walking at night." Li Xian looked worried, but he was thinking about how to explain what he said.

The girl asked with concern: "Brother, are you alright? Could it be that Master has hit hard?"

"No." Zhong Youqi really knew how to act, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his smile was bitter, Li Xian really thought he had suffered a great crime, so he hurriedly helped him back to the room and lay down: "Drink some soup, Take good care of it."

Zhong Youqi lay on the bed, answering in a muffled voice.Li Xian moved the chair in his room to the bed, opened the food box, and neatly laid out a cup of fresh fish soup, a plate of crystal shrimp dumplings, and a plate of pastry.The soup is white, the fish is fat, dotted with thin yellow ginger and green onion leaves, served with thin-skinned and tender shrimp dumplings and fragrant sugar cakes, just looking at it will make people appetite.

But Zhong Youqi was not interested, he lightly brushed the tiger's teeth with the tip of his tongue, feeling displeased, this girl came to Sun Yize again and again, it was easy to ruin his affairs, or should she kill her now?

However, Li Xian had already filled the soup, turned to him and said, "Brother, sit up and eat now, I will help you."

"No, I'll do it myself."

Zhong Youqi smiled, then got up slowly, and a bowl of hot fish soup was delivered to him in the blink of an eye.

"Eldest senior brother, master is a bit strict. Don't be angry with him. I'll apologize to you on his behalf." Li Xian said sincerely, his eyes turned red and he choked up, "You are master Gu and Elder Gu's master." The one who brought you up, Master loves you the most."

Hearing this, he was thoughtful, and the hand holding the porcelain spoon paused for a while.This girl, for a while master and senior brother, and for a while master uncle elder gu, seems to know a lot?So, it's not a bad idea to give her a try.

"This time it's Eldest Senior Brother who didn't handle things well, so I can't blame Master. Don't mention it in front of him—"

Sun Yi seldom mentioned Gu Qing in front of others, and Zhong Youqi never paid attention to it, but according to Sun Yize's temperament, he would never call Gu Qing, who was well educated, Elder Gu.After thinking about it, Zhong Youqi said: "Don't bring up the old things in front of him, lest the old man feel sad, brother, this injury is nothing."

He lowered his head, sipping the fish soup in small sips, the end of his eyes gradually turned red, and when he raised his eyes again, tears started to fall in his eyes: "But every time I want to enter the Mingshu Pavilion, I feel at a loss what to do. There is no chance to think about others. Master has added another seal on the outside, and I can't break it no matter what."

Li Xian was stunned for a moment before persuading him: "Drink the soup first, senior brother, the soup is already cold."

Zhong Youqi squeezed out a bitter smile, and didn't give up: "I still don't know what Master means. After I came back from the kendo conference, I found that my key was missing. Sleepy, do you think it will happen?" It is Master who thinks that I cannot bear the responsibility of holding the sword, so-"

Li Xian's hand holding the spoon shook, and he muttered after a while: "Brother, do you think Master loves you less than Elder Gu, so he restricts you everywhere, and even secretly took away the key of Mingshu Pavilion?"

Zhong Youqi pursed his lips, his eyes seemed a little wronged: "Brother didn't mean that, but the key is very important to me, and now I lost it, so I have such doubts in my heart. Don't tell the master, okay?"

Li Xian looked at him quietly, and suddenly said solemnly, "Brother confides to me because he believes in me. How could I not understand? But it is absolutely impossible for Master to hold the key of Mingshu Pavilion. No less love than anyone."

Zhong Youqi lowered his eyes: "It's my brother's fault."

"It's not that senior brother is bad, it's an eventful time, and it's inevitable that there will be emotions. I will help pay attention to the key matter, senior brother, don't worry."

"Well, thank you, Junior Sister, for your trouble about the key."

"No work, no work." Li Xian shook his head, stretched out his hand, lightly pressed his fingertips on Zhong Youqi's shoulder, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Li Xian's voice suddenly dropped, and he seemed to be crying: "It must be hurting, why didn't you say it, big brother? I should have gone earlier so that you wouldn't be alone."

I should accompany you to Xiuming Mountain Terrace earlier, so that you will not be alone in danger.

Zhong Youqi didn't take these words to heart: "Don't be sad, am I fine?"

Li Xian wiped his face and forced himself to calm down: "Okay...Okay, as long as you are fine."

She picked up another crystal shrimp dumpling for the person in front of her: "You, you eat this, this, it's delicious."

"Thank you, sleepy."

Hearing the same gentle tone as Sun Yize, Li Xian wanted to gag, but she still laughed: "No thanks, no thanks, it should be."

She put down her chopsticks, and said seriously: "Brother, I went to buy fish today, and the postman entrusted me to deliver a letter. No, it's a letter from Sui Hanfeng. I was punished for the matter, so I didn't dare to present the greeting card to Master rashly."

When Zhong Youji heard it, he knew that Xue Wendi was coming, and the smile in his eyes was genuine: "Since it is a letter of worship, it must be presented to Master, otherwise if it spreads out, everyone will say that we are arrogant in Linyuan, which is not good."

"Eldest brother is right, then I will send it tomorrow."

Li Xian pretended to be fine, and chatted with him about some recent interesting things. Zhong Youqi looked at her with subtle eyes, meaning that this girl had contacts with a wide range of people and was well-informed, so she could help him find Mingshu Pavilion The key, but if she finds a mistake, will it end in a complete loss?

Just as he was weighing it, Li Xian glanced at him again, and urged: "There is still one more bite, big brother, hurry up and eat."

"it is good."

Zhong Youqi was smiling, but he really didn't know what his plan was.

Li Xian accompanied him after dinner, packed up the dishes and was about to go back, Zhong Youqi insisted on walking to the door to see her off, the little girl smiled: "Don't worry, I can walk this road with my eyes closed, big brother, hurry back Come on, don't catch cold when it's cold."

"Eldest brother, I'm relieved to see you."

Zhong Youqi leaned against the door, as if he was extremely tired, Li Xian smiled: "Alright, then I'll go first."

She waved her hand, hummed a little tune and left the place.

Zhong Youqi looked up at the bright moon in the mountains, and in the dark, two figures flashed and knelt down towards him: "Master, what can I order?"

"Keep an eye on her, find the right moment, and kill her."

Zhong Youqi half-opened his eyes, his glass-like pupils were full of frosty murderous intent, but after he finished speaking, he remembered the taste of fish soup tonight, and remembered that Xue Wendi had also cooked rice and soup for him.

These two people have the same taste in food.

"Forget it, keep an eye on her and see if she can help me find useful clues."

Zhong Youqi thought of Xue Wendi, and a thought that was more fun than killing Li Xian came to his mind.

"My dear Xiaolou, I kept her alive till midnight because of you."

Zhong Youqi smiled, the two figures in front of him drifted away with the wind, the moon was shining brightly in the mountains, but it couldn't illuminate every dark corner.

The girl seemed to be humming without knowing it, and the moonlight and blue sword robe shrouded the thick moonlight, making the red pistils and white plums even more beautiful.

She hummed for a while, stopped for a while, bit her lip, and continued.She can't stop, she can't let anyone notice the strangeness, how many eyes are hidden in the dark, how many murderous intentions are ambushed, she doesn't know.But from now on, she must be careful everywhere, always pay attention, and collect as much information as possible before Xue Wendi enters the mountain.

Li Xian's mind is full of the day when she married Ji, and Sun Yi mysteriously gave her a wooden box.

"Sleepy, you will be an older child from today on, here, this is a birthday present."

Sun Yi asked her to meet in the pine forest and bamboo sea. Li Xian was born in autumn, on the day when the maple tree was as red as fire.

The girl cheered happily, but was stopped by Sun Yi with a smile: "Keep your voice down, don't attract other people."

"Ah? Is it something very, very expensive?"

Li Xian blinked, while Sun Yi deliberately teased her: "It's not expensive, but I'm afraid that other juniors and younger sisters will listen to it. In the future, I will ask for gifts for my birthday every year. Then the senior brother can't take care of one and lose the other. When the time comes, there will be no money. I became a pauper, but what should I do?"

Li Xian smiled happily: "Then I definitely can't make you a pauper! If the time comes when I even lose my wife, I will have no face to face my ancestors!"

"Little girl, you are the only one who is slippery."

Sun Yi sat on the brown rock under the maple tree, smiled gently, "Open it and have a look."

"it is good."

Li Xian opened it happily, but saw an ancient bronze key lying quietly in the wooden box, and a fish-shaped jade pendant was tied to the key, engraved with the word "green".

"this--"

The girl looked at it for a long time, and then looked at Sun Yize. She was as clever as her, and she knew what it was at that time.

"Help me keep it, Junior Sister." Sun Yi pursed his lips, and a maple leaf swirled down from the branch and landed on his shoulder.

"Why, big brother? Didn't Elder Gu Qing give you this? Such a valuable thing, I'm afraid—"

Li Xian was perplexed, but Sun Yi smiled: "Because seeing you doing nothing all day, I thought, no matter what, I have to temper you. Since I took over the position of Master of the Sword and Mingshu Pavilion, I will pass it on to you in the future." to others."

"You don't expect me to be the pavilion master, do you?" Li Xian opened his mouth wide with disbelief, "I don't have such ambition!"

"Then you keep it for me, and return it to me when there is a suitable candidate." Sun Yi suddenly paused, "This is also the meaning of the letter left by Master."

Li Xian reacted for a while before realizing that the master was referring to Gu Qing: "What does Elder Gu mean?"

"En." Sun Yi didn't elaborate, and Li Xian didn't ask further.

Now that I think about it, Elder Gu Qing must have done a fortune-telling calculation for the senior brother before making preparations.

Li Xian's heart was about to jump out of her chest. She returned to her residence, washed the dishes as usual, and tidied up the room. Finally, she found out the invitation letter, put it on the table, pressed it with an inkstone, and muttered to herself. : "This way I shouldn't forget it. I hope Master won't be angry with me when I see you tomorrow."

After washing up, she turned on the lamp and snuggled into the quilt.

In front of the window, a figure flashed past, and then a black shadow was drawn across the greeting card.

"Master, it is indeed written by Xue Si."

Hearing this, Zhong Youqi calmed down a little, it seemed that Li Xian hadn't lied to him, so he also lay down with his clothes on.He disliked Sun Yize so much that he felt sick even lying on his bed.Being coaxed by Li Xian today, he ate a lot, his stomach was not feeling well, and he was even more irritable.Xue Wendi's various preferences for Sun Yize emerged in front of his eyes, scene after scene, piles of piles, like a stick in his throat.

Zhong Youqi clenched his right hand violently and slammed down the bed.

"Boom—" something fell down.

Zhong Youqi let go of his hand instantly and regained his composure. Is there a secret compartment hidden under the bed?

He looked down and found the letters Xue Wendi sent to Sun Yize. The words were sincere and caring. Seeing him burning with jealousy, a cluster of flames shot out from his fingertips and burned these letters clean.

The moment the soot fell, the murderous intent in Zhong Youqi's eyes gradually faded, and he blew on his fingertips lightly, his voice low.

"Sun Yize, you should really be thankful that you are Gu Qing's disciple, otherwise, you wouldn't be alive today."
