Senior sister said that she would not marry me unless she wanted to

That hand is slender and powerful, with a thin layer of calluses remaining on the palm and fingertips. It seems to be the traces left by years of sword practice. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is the hand of a martial arts practitioner. A firm person, otherwise, there would be no such traces that can only be left after a long period of tempering. This is in sharp contrast to Du Yunge's long and slender hands, which have almost no traces of martial arts training. .

Xue Shuyan looked at their intertwined hands, and her thoughts diverged uncontrollably. For just a moment, she thought, even if Yun Ge won't do anything in the end, it doesn't matter, I will protect her anyway.

——In such a short breath, she promised her whole life.

When these hands were slowly but firmly intertwined with Du Yunge's, the temperature and tactile sensation that clearly belonged to another person made Du Yunge shrank his neck sensitively, and even the pinnae of his ears turned red and beautiful. The warm color is like the scorching peach forest that blooms on the mountain behind Wangyou Mountain in spring and stretches for more than ten miles.However, she has never been on guard against others, and such an intimate behavior did not arouse her much wariness, let alone being enlightened by such a simple action, so she turned her head and smiled at Xue Shuyan:

"Then thank you, Senior Sister."

Xue Shuyan nodded solemnly.

Qiu Yueman was unaware of the atmosphere between the two, and continued to talk about his speculation:

"You can't believe everything about ghosts and gods, but you have to believe it. Besides, this little girl seems to be really scared. She has no contact with the outside world, and she can't be bribed. There is absolutely no reason to betray Miaoyinmen. It's so mysterious. After excluding the most possible human factors, only the theory of ghosts and gods can explain it. In my opinion, it is better to send these people down from Wangyou Mountain first, and then find a master to come up another day How about reciting scriptures and driving away evil spirits?"

Feng Chengchun just remembered that he was going to go to the mountain to light an everlasting lantern, to celebrate that the head of his family was finally no longer the silly little girl before, so he echoed:

"Since that's the case, I also want to ask someone to come up and light an ever-burning lamp for the sect master. Why don't we do it together."

For a moment, no matter whether it was Qiu Yueman, Feng Chengchun or Xue Shuyan, they all turned their attention to Du Yunge and waited for her final verdict. Du Yunge pinched his palm hard, and could feel the obvious tingling Only then did he let out a long breath, and when he spoke, he was as gentle and sweet as before:

"Just do what Qiu Hufa said."

——According to Qiuyueman's relentless iron rooster's strength on weekdays, being able to offer to find an exorcist from the bottom of the mountain to go up the mountain to do it is already the greatest degree of care she can show, after all, it costs money to do it .

Since Qiu Yueman's good intentions came first, Feng Chengchun also felt a little dubious, and she didn't have any solid evidence at hand to prove that this matter was really related to He Zhenzhen. So he had no choice but to agree first, and then slowly and privately investigate what happened to the fainted girl later.

After finishing this matter, Qiu Yueman belatedly remembered to ask what happened to tonight's martial arts competition.She didn't do anything else tonight, so she did one thing. She sorted out the gift lists brought by the people who came to the contest to recruit relatives, and then checked these things one by one and put them into the warehouse, so that they could be used directly by Du Yunge Just take it out and use it, and lock the unusable ones into the warehouse, and wait for them to be used later.According to the level of importance that she looks at the bunch of warehouse keys as if she is looking at her own daughter on weekdays, these things are afraid that there will be no mistakes in another 100 years.

Qiu Yueman, who spent the whole night in the warehouse, naturally knew nothing about what happened at the previous meeting, until her subordinates stayed behind at the martial arts competition. If any accident happened, she should tell her as soon as possible to deal with it. Someone informed Qiu Yueman that it seemed that the good ones were not the ones with bad spirits. Something went wrong during the martial arts competition, so she hurried to the meeting hall. Along the way, she only had time to get a general idea of ​​Qiu Hufa, but she didn't know the last thing. How did you solve it, and asked cautiously:

"...Then how did you solve it in the end? Do you want to make an apology?"

As soon as the word "amendment" was mentioned, the heartache on her face that was about to leave her, even the money that did not belong to her, made onlookers like Du Yunge and Xue Shuyan feel a little sympathetic. Du Yunge hurriedly explained:

"No, Qiu Hufa is relieved for the time being, there is no need to make an apology. Thanks to Senior Sister Xue who bought the bottom and went up to fight in the ring, she won the martial arts competition and recruiting relatives. After today, I will still stay on Wangyou Mountain."

It was only then that Qiu Yueman felt that the stone named "Qian" that had been pressing on her heart had finally fallen to the ground, and even looked at Xue Shuyan's expressionless face that hadn't changed much all the year round, and felt softer and pleasing to the eye up:

"Oh, I knew that people like Shuyan are the most reliable!"

In order to express her true joy, Qiu Yueman patted Xue Shuyan's shoulder affectionately, smiled at Feng Chengchun, and said, "Sister Chun really taught a good apprentice, which is really enviable. Wait for me in the future When I have free time someday, I will go down the mountain specially to pick up such a talented and obedient little apprentice back, teach her well, and after a hundred years, I will pass on my mantle to her."

Fengcheng Chunqi said: "You still have the mantle - I know, you mean your big bunch of keys? This kind of thing really has some inheritance value. But then again, what are you doing?" Who would think that Shuyan can be related to the word 'beautiful'? This kid has always had his own ideas, and I think this is a good thing."

"This is our sect master's contest to recruit relatives, Sister Chun, contest to recruit relatives." Qiu Yueman gave Feng Chengchun a strange look, as if this is a truth that normal people all over the world should know, but absolutely no Thinking of the person standing in front of her is a fool who doesn't know anything:

"Didn't we say that when we spread the invitations widely, whoever wins this conference will be able to marry our sect master."

Feng Chengchun still couldn't turn the corner: "So?"

Qiu Yueman looked at Du Yunge and then at Xue Shuyan, suddenly lost her temper, and hesitated for a long time without being able to say why:

"In short... In short, alas, Sister Chun, I didn't say you. When you read the account book, you are really smart. It's really not good at this time. In short, you just need to remember something. Shuyan is very good at our sect master. A loyal one—isn't it, Shuyan?"

The last sentence obviously turned a corner, changed the conversation partner, and said it directly to Xue Shuyan.Xue Shuyan has not yet become the rightful deputy head of the Miaoyin Sect, and it is impossible for her to turn a blind eye to Qiu Hufa's questioning while her status is still under the cloud and dark snow, and she is still haggling when faced with the elder's questioning It's not too plausible, so Xue Shuyan let go of Du Yunge's hand, nodded slightly to Qiu Yueman and replied:

"What Qiu Hufa said is true."

However, no matter whether others understand it or not, at least Du Yunge was smart once and understood what Qiu Yueman wanted to say:

Since Xue Shuyan had already copied the bottom line at her martial arts competition, no matter what her purpose was, no matter who entrusted her, no matter whether she married Du Yunge, the master of the Miaoyin Sect, at least in the eyes of others. Here, Xue Shuyan must have a deeper relationship with Du Yunge than the ordinary senior sisters, chief and deputy sect masters before.

To put it more clearly, Xue Shuyan's reputation is completely on Du Yun's singer.

Xue Shuyan has kept her body clean for more than ten years since she appeared in Miaoyinmen, not to mention the rumors of sex, even the slightest news that is unfavorable to her has never been spread, which shows how cautious and noble she has always been in her words and deeds.Let such a person who is so upright that he can't pick out any mistakes use his own reputation as the price to protect another person, and let her participate in the competition under the pressure that may become the talk of the whole martial arts for a long time in the future. Du Yunge was cheated at the Martial Arts Recruiting Conference. If this wasn't loyalty, what else could it be?

——At least in Qiu Yueman's eyes.

That's why she spared no effort to remind Du Yunge that Xue Shuyan is really loyal to her, and she must treat Xue Shuyan well, because if the Miaoyinmen wants to pass on to the next generation of successors safely, then it must rely on Xue Shuyan's help. Strength is all you need, but you must not cool Xue Shuyan's heart.

Feng Chengchun finally figured it out.It can't be blamed that she reacts slowly as if infected by Du Yunge, it's because she has already seen the deep and difficult-to-discover relationship of "Xue Shuyan likes Du Yunge" in advance, so it's hard to think about it in a more superficial way For a while, she just felt a little funny and a little pity, and she thought that it would be great if Xue Shuyan was not her apprentice, and Du Yunge was not the child she was entrusted to take care of by the former master of Miaoyinmen. In this case, she would not have to worry so much No matter what, we must keep this medium.

After thinking up to this point, Feng Chengchun couldn't help sighing sincerely:

"Master, don't blame me for being long-winded, Shuyan is really loyal to us."

Du Yunge nodded approvingly—although the direction of her thinking is completely different from that of Feng Chengchun.

"Okay, since this matter is settled for now, let's go back to our houses and sleep." Feng Chengchun sighed heavily, feeling that his psychological endurance was really exercised tonight to an unprecedented level. The strength of:

"Since the sect master has said that he intends to learn again and establish a career, he has to pick up the sword skills that have been wasted for a long time, and he must not just continue to be lazy like this."

"Tomorrow morning, please get up early to practice swords. Shuyan shouldn't pamper the sect master too much. When she wakes up, you can watch her wash up and come to the martial arts hall after cleaning up. Yunmei and I are waiting there you."

Xue Shuyan and Du Yunge responded in unison: "Yes."

When Du Yunge was lying on the bed that night, she felt that no matter how she lay down or what position she used to lie on the bed, she was tossing and turning, and she was terribly irritable. In this life, it is very likely that He Zhenzhen who has already taken advantage of the opportunity of the martial arts competition to make trouble on Wangyou Mountain.

She bit the corner of the quilt bitterly, and rolled around and around on the bed silently. Fortunately, her bed was a high-quality ten-poster bed, otherwise, she really couldn't stand it like this Get out, I'm afraid she would have fallen to the ground long ago.

Du Yunge is a very kind-hearted girl, and she grew up under the careful education of Feng Chengchun and others. She doesn't know what it means to be domineering, let alone what it means to be pampered. These rare and good qualities make her feel good immediately It's very different from those guys who are in high positions and don't treat the attendants below as human beings.Otherwise, there would not be the situation where she wanted to go out but was stopped by the overly cautious maid.

For those families in the mansion, if the owner is in a bad mood, he has to hide away, or if he is accidentally angered, there is really no place to cry; but even if he hides away After all, it’s not a perfect solution. If the owner keeps not calming down, he is very likely to be caught as a bag of anger. If he is really unlucky and gets angered for no reason, he can’t say anything, after all, the difference between the upper and lower is insurmountable.

But Du Yunge's style of painting has nothing in common with these people. Even if she is about to turn herself into a puffer fish with a round belly, she won't vent her anger on others. At most, she just hugs the quilt like this Gritting her teeth secretly, it's fine to roll a few more times on the bed, but this time her rolling position may be a bit wrong, and she accidentally bumped herself into the pillar beside the bed.

This blow knocked Du Yunge so hard that she became dizzy. She let out a small cry of pain, and then covered her nose with tears in her eyes. For a moment, she felt her mind was blank. If you add something in it, you can only add two words at most:

it hurts!

The commotion she made was not small, it startled Xue Shuyan who was about to go to bed outside, after all, people who practice martial arts have keen senses, especially when Xue Shuyan is facing someone like Du Yunge who doesn't know how to hide himself well When it comes to breath and voice guys, she can almost hear the slightly louder voices inside.

Just before Xue Shuyan had time to change clothes, Dang even got out of bed and came to the door of the inner room, knocked on the door three times, pushed the door open and entered, and asked Du Yunge who was on the bed with tears in his eyes:

"Yun Ge, what were you doing just now?"

Du Yunge was still suffering from the pain, and his head was not bright - although he was not very bright at first - when he first heard this, he blurted out without thinking:

"I'm thinking about He Zhenzhen!"

The second half of the sentence is "This person is really terrible, fortunately, Senior Sister Xue, you defeated her", but before he could say it, Du Yunge was taken aback by Xue Shuyan's expression:

Why does Senior Sister Xue seem... angry?

Although Xue Shuyan's most common expression is expressionless, her current expression can no longer be classified as expressionless, and has gone a step further to the level of "angry with expressionless face".If Xue Shuyan before was like a deep thousand-year-old cold pool, then she is now like a thousand-mile wasteland where the never-ending icy wind ravages, and even Du Yunge, who has been with her for a long time, has to shrink back a little Suddenly, he asked in a low voice:

"Senior Sister Xue, why are you angry?"

Xue Shuyan's expression finally softened a little in order not to scare Du Yunge, but she still wanted to ask what was going on, so she sat beside Du Yunge's bed through a heavy rain-colored gauze curtain, holding her hands together. Consciously or unintentionally, there was less than a foot away from Du Yunge's hand:

"What does Yun Ge want from this kind of person?"

Du Yunge took a closer look at Xue Shuyan's expression, thought about what he said just now, and finally realized that the sentence he answered Xue Shuyan just now was so imaginative, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain:

"I have no intention of collaborating with the enemy, senior sister, don't think too much, I, Du Yunge, was born as a member of the Miaoyinmen, and died as a ghost of the Miaoyinmen. I will never communicate with outsiders in secret!"

Xue Shuyan was silent for a moment, not sure if he should explain to Du Yunge first that what he was afraid of was not her collaborating with the enemy, but that Du Yunge would suddenly change his mind, and that it would be better for He Zhenzhen, or to tell Du Yunge not to use idioms indiscriminately in the future, and finally She still didn't say anything, just tucked the quilt for Du Yunge, got up and put down all the curtains for her:

"...Sleep."

When Xue Shuyan was about to get up and leave, he suddenly stretched out a hand from the bed curtain and gently grabbed Xue Shuyan's clothes.

Du Yunge doesn't have much talent in martial arts, and she didn't want to work hard before. Compared with a master like Xue Shuyan, she actually doesn't have much strength in her hands. As long as Xue Shuyan struggles lightly, she can break free, but Xue Shuyan is like As if possessed by a demon, he was abruptly stopped by this simple and powerless blocking action. After a long while, Du Yunge asked softly:

"Senior Sister Xue, can you please sleep with me tonight? I can't sleep."

——She really couldn't sleep.

The impact of "resurrecting from the dead" is too great, not to mention that Du Yunge experienced goodbye to the murderer in just a few hours, avoided the old path of his previous life, and seemed to be in Miaoyin's door. There are really so many things impacted by the inner ghost, so that she can't sleep even if she is lying on the bed, her mind is full of all kinds of messy things, and there are countless words that seem to be true or not in her ears. The fake voice made Du Yunge have a splitting headache, and he just wanted to sleep well to recover his vitality.

Xue Shuyan was silent for a long time before she opened her mouth, but her voice was so soft that Du Yunge couldn't even hear a word:

"...It's nameless, it's not good."

Du Yunge really didn't hear clearly at all. The word hearing and eyesight has nothing to do with a mediocre martial artist like her: "Senior Sister Xue, I didn't hear clearly just now, what did you say?"

"I said..." Xue Shuyan sat by her bed again, and opened half of the outer bed curtain for Du Yunge, so that only a thin layer of rain-soaked sky-blue was separated between them. It's a distance that won't be overly intimate, but can make Du Yunge, who needs company, feel a sense of security:

"I'm right here, and I'm not going anywhere until you fall asleep."
