After wearing a book, I am a scumbag

Lin Qingzhou's ring was accidentally broken by Ji Ran a few months ago, and all his belongings, including clothes, talisman paper and medicine, were scattered all over the place.

Ji Ran was very anxious at the time, fearing that he would offend his master, but later seeing that Lin Qingzhou didn't mind, he went to Xianshi to pick out a beautiful storage bag as compensation.

Lin Qingzhou has stayed here for more than a year, but he hasn't bought much property, most of which are books and sword manuals.

In order to compete with others in the future and not expose his sect, he studied a lot of sword manuals in a year, mastered them thoroughly, learned from one's strengths, made up for each other's weaknesses, and even innovated some moves.

In addition to books and sword manuals, there are also some fancy and useless gadgets, most of which are given out intermittently by Ji Ran.

Now, I have to run away again, except for some books that I particularly like, other things are not very practical, so I don’t care.

Packed up the things and put them one by one into the storage bag, he planned to go to Ji Ran and say something, after all, it was a master and apprentice.

However, what about burning?

Lin Qingzhou frowned, closed her eyes, slapped her forehead, and suddenly remembered something.

Wan Duzi, just now he only cared about running away and left his stupid apprentice in the dark market.

No wonder it always feels like something is unfinished.

Thinking of this, he hurried out.

However, if he turns back to the dark market now, will he run into Han Qi and the others head-on again?

Lin Qingzhou stood on the stone steps in front of the house, stopped in her footsteps, and hesitated a little.

Han Qi and Wen Tang are busy fighting each other, so they shouldn't notice Ji Ran, right?

Furthermore, although the stupid apprentice's aptitude is extremely poor, he is not an idiot. If he turns around and doesn't see him, he will return by himself.

Lin Qingzhou comforted herself in this way, took out a page of talisman paper from the kit, made a talisman with one fingertip, and used the spirit as ink in the other hand to write a farewell speech on the talisman book hanging in the air.

Just finished writing the talisman, he was about to send the talisman to Ji Ran's room.

But at the other end, a familiar figure turned in at the archway of the small garden where the green vines spread.

Ji Ran is back.

That's great, it saves a lot of trouble.

When Lin Qingzhou saw him, he also looked up at Lin Qingzhou, and glanced at a page of paper in Lin Qingzhou's hand.

In an instant, with his rare sharp thinking, he sensed the meaning of parting, and his brows and eyes showed a trace of solemnity.

Seeing this, Lin Qingzhou felt a little guilty. The dark market is a place outside the law, mixed with dragons and snakes, and full of dangers. He only cared about escaping just now, and completely put his plans behind him. It was really because he was not righteous enough.

It is reasonable for Ji Ran to be unhappy on the face.

He coughed lightly, and said to him from afar, "Disciple, why are you coming back now?"

Ji Ran crossed the bluestone path shaded by verdant branches and leaves, and walked up to him without a smile on his face, and asked in a sluggish tone without answering, "Master, do you have something to hide from me?"

Lin Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat. Something was wrong with the stupid apprentice. Could it be that he knew something, "I did have some reservations before, but I definitely didn't deliberately deceive you. It's a long story."

Generally speaking, ordinary people will stop in time when they hear something that is "long story", and will not ask more questions.

However, the calculation and burning brain circuits are not as good as ordinary people.

"It's okay, I have a lot of time today, master just tell me, I'll listen." Ji Ran said, stretched out his hand, and greeted him to the waterside pavilion in the garden.

The two sat down at the water pavilion.

Spring is getting farther and farther away, and summer is approaching.Outside the carved and hollow railings of the waterside pavilion, there are pavilions and green covers, swaying in the wind.

The clear air after the rain is particularly fresh, and the sunlight shines on the crepe-like ripples of the pool water, reflecting sparkling waves, hitting Lin Qingzhou's azure sleeves, flickering on and off, adding a sense of etherealness.

"I do know those two people. In fact, I owe them something." Lin Qingzhou sighed and said slowly.

"Master, I knew this was the case. They have been chasing debts for more than a year, and their anxious eyes are red." Ji Ran had such an expression on his face, "Master, tell me, how much money do you owe? I'll pay it back for you."

Lin Qingzhou froze, the brain circuit of the stupid apprentice was really different from ordinary people.However, the meaning is not much different.

"This debt is not an ordinary debt. It can only be settled by Master himself, and no one else can intervene." He shook his head helplessly and replied.

Ji Ran said earnestly: "Master, since this is the case, then we should try to deal with it. Blindly avoiding is not the solution to the problem. You can escape for a while, but you can't escape forever."

His old-fashioned appearance is very inconsistent with his usual cheerful and unruly temperament.

However, a word awakened Lin Qingzhou.

Now even if he leaves to go somewhere else, Han Qi and Wen Tang might chase after him closely. Although this kind of thinking seems narcissistic, there is no guarantee that this is not the case. It is better to block them with soldiers, cover them with water, and let them die here. this heart.

Besides, why did he run away? He is Tan Zhou now, not Lin Qingzhou, so he gritted his teeth and beat him to death.

It was counterproductive to run away directly, and it seemed that he had a guilty conscience.

Lin Qingzhou made up her mind not to run in a hurry, a smile appeared on Lin Qingzhou's face.

In fact, subconsciously, he didn't want to leave.

Since they can have a peaceful and comfortable life, who would be willing to live in the open without knowing where to go?

Although the stupid apprentice is not very good at practice, but at critical moments, it is still useful.

"By the way, stupid, apprentice, just now in the dark market, when the master was in a hurry, he was negligent. You didn't encounter anything later, did you?" Lin Qingzhou was worried that someone would embarrass him.

Ji Ran was a little embarrassed: "When the roof rubble flew all over the place, I was accidentally knocked unconscious. When I woke up, there were not many people in the whole street, and there were ruins everywhere. I saw that you were not there, so I came back."

Lin Qingzhou was a little surprised, "That's it?"

Ji Ran's tone was quite dissatisfied, "Master, you left me in Longtan and Tiger's Den without saying a word, what bad things do you hope will happen to me?"

Lin Qingzhou's face was embarrassing, it was indeed his fault, he touched his nose and said, "Longtan and tiger's lair are not going to happen."

The more Ji Ran thought about it, the more angry he became, his face wrinkled into a ball, "Master, you don't care about me at all."

Yoho, the stupid apprentice made an inch of progress and began to push his nose on his face.

The corner of Lin Qingzhou's mouth raised a smile, as light as a wave of water rippling from the surface of the pool:

"In order to show that I care about you, today I decided to give you homework, learn to draw all the spells I taught before in one day, and you are not allowed to eat dinner if you don't finish the painting."

Ji Ran's face was full of pain, "Master, I suddenly feel that you love me enough, so I don't want to do extracurricular homework."

Lin Qingzhou got up with a smile and walked out, "Not enough, otherwise, how can you feel my mountainous concern for you."

"But, Master, I'm about to be overwhelmed." Ji Ran peeked at Lin Qingzhou and complained in a low voice.

"There is pressure to be motivated. As a teacher, I have high hopes for you. I believe you will be able to do it." Lin Qingzhou walked towards the study without looking back.

Seeing that the struggle was futile, Ji Ran had no choice but to submit.

The two masters and apprentices often read and teach in the waterside pavilion, and there are ready-made pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table.

He flattened the rice paper, dipped the pen in the ink, and was about to start writing. He couldn't help but look up at the azure back that was fading away.

The mournful expression on the cheeks gradually disappeared on the face, and then there was a slight frown between the brows, turning into a trace of solemnity.

How could those two people who fought each other in the dark market be as simple as chasing debts.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that the two of them had a deep friendship with Master, and they were even jealous of each other, and fought violently.

However, since the master was ashamed to speak out and talked about him from left to right, then he pretended not to know, pretended to be stupid and gave him a step down.

Keep the person first, save time and run away, and it will be hard to find them again.

However, master, master, you are such a fairy-like person, you can't see that you have incurred so many love debts.

And no matter which one looks fierce, it's not easy to deal with.

The yin and yang mirror could not be obtained.

This trip to the dark market not only returned empty-handed, but also met the people who least wanted to meet again.

Lin Qingzhou sighed secretly, sitting in Ji Ran's study, continuing to read the ancient books in his hand, to see if there is any treasure that can replace the yin and yang mirror.

These ancient books were purchased from the dark market in fear that Lin Qingzhou would be bored in the house.Part of it is based on the book list given by Lin Qingzhou, but most of them are recommended by the shop owner.

Ji Ran’s study room originally had three bookshelves, housing politics, history, business, etc.After Lin Qingzhou arrived here, with the passage of time, five bookshelves were erected in the study room, two of which contained all kinds of Taoism books, all kinds of books, covering a wide range of contents.

The sun gradually moves westward, through the open window, and shines on the pages of the book, like stretching out a slender foot, overturning the ink table at night, slowly dyeing everything in thick black twilight.

Sitting here and looking through the whole afternoon, Lin Qingzhou rubbed his sore eyes, made a gesture with his fingertips, and lit a bean lamp on the candlestick.

The dimly lit study room, soaked in orange light, became brighter.

A tall stack of books was piled up on the desk. He spent the afternoon looking through and researching, but found nothing new.

These books have no reference value, he picked up a few books and stuffed them back on the shelf one by one.

Two shelves of books, not much to say, much less to say.In order to make it easier to find, he numbered it himself and put a label on the side of the book cover.

One of the books in my hand happened to be on the top of the shelf, and I had to move a stool to reach it when I took it out.

At this moment, the stool in the study was moved to another place by some servant, so he could only stand on tiptoe, raise his arms high, desperately reaching up.

Enough for a long time, the arm is sore and I can't stand it.

He dropped his heels, and his body was originally close to the bookshelf, so he had to take a step back at this moment.

Suddenly, his back touched a solid chest, and at the same time, a hand stretched out from behind, took the book in his hand, raised his arm, and stuffed the book where it was going.

Lin Qingzhou was surprised when Ji Ran was taller than him.

He turned around and saw Han Qi's silhouette against the light, caught off guard, and suddenly his whole body was shrouded in the shadow cast by Han Qi.

With such a fright, the book in his hand was lost for a moment, and it fell to the ground with a crash.

He couldn't help taking a step back, and his back immediately hit the bookshelf.

Han Qi came in holding his breath, and he didn't notice it at all.

How did Han Qi find this place?

When he escaped, it was clear that Han Qi was still fighting Wen Tang, and the two were fighting like a raging fire.

Coming out of the dark market, he didn't see anyone following him along the way.

By the way, the stupid apprentice was still in the dark market at that time.

It's over, the stupid apprentice must have acted as a humanoid gs after waking up, and directly helped Han Qi navigate on a voluntary basis.

Lin Qingzhou expressed deep contempt for this behavior of opening the door and stealing.

"Why do this?"

Han Qi's cold voice came from above, it sounded very calm, like the surface of a sea hiding a turbulent undercurrent.

What Han Qi asked was why he pretended not to know each other, or why he planned such a scene of feigning death and escaping.

Even though there were many thoughts in her mind, Lin Qingzhou stabilized her mind instantly, and got up every minute.

"I said I didn't understand what you were talking about." Lin Qingzhou frowned, trying to distort the facts.

"Do you know how I've been here for more than a year? I haven't missed you for a moment." Han Qi didn't seem to understand what he said, and stubbornly insisted that Lin Qingzhou was the person he was looking for.

With eyes as deep as a pool, he looked at Lin Qingzhou without blinking.

Even though the backlight on Han Qi's face cannot be seen clearly, Lin Qingzhou seems to still feel the emotion in his sight, which is as cold as ice and hot as fire.

"not my business."

Lin Qingzhou turned her face away, not looking into his eyes.

"Did I do something wrong to make you unhappy, so you have to punish me like this?"

Han Qi suddenly stretched out his hands to hold Lin Qingzhou's shoulders, lowered his proud head in the past, and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, you did something wrong, you really admitted the wrong person."

Lin Qingzhou's heart is like a rock, indifferent, she subconsciously wants to break free from the restraint on her shoulders, but she can't shake it at all.

"Do you mind if I and Yin Xibai are like this, I swear that we are really innocent." Han Qi even began to find reasons for Lin Qingzhou.

His tone was still low, but his clenched hands revealed excitement.

If it weren't for the backlight on his face, Lin Qingzhou could see the dark red in his eyes flashing away at this time.

"Who is Yin Xibai? I've never heard of it." Lin Qingzhou's voice was light.

"Don't be like this, okay. After the invitation was sent to him, he did go to Heming Jiugao to look for me. After I had a quick word with him, I went to Duanqin City to look for you."

"If you don't mind, I will have less contact with him in the future. Can you go back with me?" Han Qi's tone unconsciously carried a little pleading.

It is impossible to go back to Qingxu Sword Sect with him.

"I'm not the person you're looking for. To tell the truth, I have my own fiancé. We sing harmoniously and like each other. We are going to get married soon."

Lin Qingzhou spoke coldly, talking nonsense without blinking.

It's just that he didn't even realize why he blurted out "fiance" instead of "fiancee".

"I am the only one who can marry you in this world." Han Qi's voice suddenly became stiff.

At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open.

Holding a stack of rice paper in his hand, Ji Ran walked in and was dumbfounded when he saw the scene in front of him.

At this end, Lin Qingzhou stepped off the donkey and pointed without hesitation, "He is my fiance."
